Age: 26 moons

Gender: She-cat

Clan: MistClan

Rank: Warrior

Personality: Rosefire can be feisty when she needs to be but tends to be steady, loyal, and quiet at first. This means she comes across as shy, when in reality she's just waiting to see how situations develop. She's a watcher. She never takes anyone at first glance. She is someone who has always been relegated to the background of the story. Growing up in MistClan as a single kit, whose mother died very young, Rosefire has always longed to feel like she belongs. But her tendency towards being shy at first, towards roaming instead of staying in the camp, towards yearning for something more has led her to be one of the Warriors most of the clan treats with ambivalence.

Appearance: With her slim build, watchful eyes, and gray (almost white) tabby body, Rosefire knows how to blend in to the background. She's always been good at hiding among the marshes, with their long reeds and shadows full of secrets. She has a soft, husky voice.

Biography: Rosefire was born as a single kit to a loner, whose name she does not remember, and whose last act of love was to drop Rosefire off outside of MistClan. Rosefire progressed through the rites of kit, apprentice, and then finally Warrior quietly, without fanfare, and without anything particularly exciting happen. Her former mentor, Glacierclaw (NPC), was a quiet soul who passed on to StarClan shortly after her Warrior ceremony and left Rosefire feeling completely alone. She yearns to do something meaningful for her Clan but has never felt brave enough to step up and do it. She often thinks of Glacierclaw fondly, as the only family she's truly felt she's had, and hopes to someday make him proud. What she never realized is that her quiet, steady presence, her loyalty, have not gone as unnoticed as she seems to think it always has...

Apprentice: None.

Mate: None yet.

Kits: None yet.

Name: Hawk, fka Sandrunner

Age: 32 Moons

Gender: Tom

Clan: Exiled from ThornClan

Rank: Loner

Appearance: Hawk is a large orange tabby, built like a bit of a tank. He has glimmering orange amber eyes and uses his considerable bulk to his advantage in battle. He isn’t the most discreet cat to have around as far as sleuthing patrols go, but his broad build is great for intimidation. As a loner, he finds that while he isn’t as light of foot as many, he is able to keep his distance thanks to his long gait and muscled body having a great amount of endurance.

Personality: Hawk feels very deeply. He mourns Whitewind’s death constantly and feels that it was his fault. He does not think it deserved exile, for he knows it was an accident, but recognizes that Dustwing’s grief clouds her judgment. He gives Dustwing more credit than she perhaps deserves. So Hawk accepts his exile and tries to move on, though he deeply craves companionship and friendship again. Once he opens up, he is a kind, thoughtful tom who is known to be jovial and friendly. He is a very genial, affable sort of cat and tries to always see the best in other cats, even those like Dustwing, who have done nothing but exploit his kindness and gentleness.

Biography: Hawk was born as Sandkit, with a sister Dustkit, in ThornClan. They grew up constantly bickering, as siblings are wont to do, but it wasn’t as fun and playful as Sandkit always thought it was. Sandkit was naturally bigger and more athletic, so he became one of the favored kits of the Clan, and Dustkit grew incredibly envious of his popularity -- particularly with their father, Stoneclaw. Stoneclaw favored strength and bravery over cunning and wit, which alienated Dustkit from him fairly early on. Their mother Skyfur, did not survive birthing her two kits, along with two other stillborn kits.

As they grew, Stoneclaw grew cold, desperate for his kits to be better than all the others. He was particularly hard on Dustkit, who was always too small for his taste. After they became apprenticed, and a fellow apprentice Whitepaw became close to the two of them, Stoneclaw was killed in battle. Whitepaw and Sandpaw became inseparable. Any time they weren’t spent training was spent together, the only exception of which being that Whitepaw and Dustpaw also spent a good amount of time together, and Sandpaw was never invited to those adventures.

Shortly after the three of them had their Warrior ceremony, Dustwing and Whitewind became mates. Sandrunner and Dustwing grew even further apart, but Whitewind and Sandrunner managed to maintain a close friendship. One day, on patrol, Whitewind and Sandrunner encountered a bear and had to run to escape. Whitewind lost his footing and fell over the side of a cliff, falling to his death. Dustwing immediately blamed Sandrunner for the loss of her mate and used her innate cunning and connections to convince the rest of the Clan that it was Sandrunner’s fault, and he became exiled. He changed his name to Hawk and has roamed for moons, lingering between MistClan and ThornClan territories, longing to become a part of a Clan again, never brave enough to approach for fear of his past coming back to haunt him.
