    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: none; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;]The golden bengal had seated herself down in the center of camp. Her tail was curled around her paws neatly and her gaze was angled downwards. She seemed to be just relaxing or maybe in thought. It was hard to tell. She was kind of known to be mysterious and unpredictable, so she was kind of a difficult one to read.


    It seemed like she had only arrived here under the name of Ysabelle just yesterday. It wasn't hard to believe she had been here for several moons. After her arrival here, she had always wondered what happened to her dysfunctional family. The most she really knew was two of her half-siblings were dead and the other three were missing. Her mother, well, she was sure she was still alive somewhere. Her mother was a survivalist. She would do anything to survive. Ivoryskies couldn't say she was very fond of her mother though, so she didn't really care about what happened to her. After all, her mother had abandoned her and her siblings leaving he bengal to pick up the pieces and help the older ones raise the younger ones.


    As for her father? She hardly knew or got to know him, that is. Her, her siblings, and her mother had all been disowned by him when she was only two moons old, but for a very good reason, she supposed.


    Now, she was here and all alone in this world. No family as far as she was aware. Sure, she could have started a family of her own, but Ivory just never found time for that. So, here she was.

    Spottedpaw had returned from hunting for the sick, just as Adderstar had requested of the healthy ThunderClan cats. Luckily, she had managed to fit in a large sleep just before the last meeting, and her energy was somewhat back on track. The bounce in her step had returned and she had seemed more like her lively and cheerful self.


    She sat and began to groom, surveying the camp as she washed her leg with long, careful strokes. As her gaze landed on Ivoryskies, she couldn't help but wonder if they were related in some way. But that was probably just a dream, because as far as she knew, her family had always been in ThunderClan from generations before, but unbeknownst to her, her parents were kittypets who had escaped and joined ThunderClan and became wonderful warriors, hence why she had always assumed they had just been born here, but she didn't really know much about her family.


    She knew that she had two stillborn siblings, both toms, who her mother had never bothered to name. She sometimes wondered what life would have been like if they had survived. Would they have become good warriors? Would they have been kind to her? Would they have had a family? Did they go to StarClan? She had been first born in the litter, and the strongest, and the biggest, so it was really no wonder that she had survived. But Leopardbreeze had never bothered with her. She'd always been too focused on her warrior duties, and she was too hard and stony-faced to show affection. Her father, Specklefur, had sometimes shown her affection, such as the occasional nuzzle and calling her "kiddo".


    But Ivoryskies and her shared the almost exactly the same pelt color and eye color, and it was hard not to ponder. She decided to approach, flicking her tail in greeting to the other feline. "Hey Ivoryskies," the Bengal greeted cheerfully. "How are you going?" She was rather anxious about talking to her, though she did not show it. Ivoryskies was certainly mysterious and she couldn't exactly read her emotions.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: none; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;]Ivoryskies was snapped out of her thoughts at the sound of someone's voice. Her pale green gaze shifted its' sway up only to find Spottedpaw. It was almost as if she she was looking directly into a mirror. It was odd. Sure, there had been other bengals like herself over the moons, but none that quite resembled her more than the one before her now. She had began to almost wonder if she was some how related to the younger female in some way.


    "Hello," she greeted in her usual, neutral tone of voice as she observed the younger feline. "I'm doing alright just having to adjust back to everything," she responded, pausing briefly before giving out a little inquiry, "And how about yourself?"she asked out of politeness. She knew he apprentice was soon to become a warrior. It was always an exciting step in life though not too much different from being an apprentice. It was almost something that was given out to state that this particular individual full pledged citizen.

    "I'm working a lot," she sighed. "And it's tiring, working on the second camp for the ill cats and hunting for them as well." She was honestly exhausted in a mobile post.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: none; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;]Ivoryskies gave a brief nod of the head at that. "I suppose, all us healthy felines are working hard. We have a lot of people down at the moment that we have to pick up for." she responded while she observed the female. The illness had come at the worst time of year, that was for sure. It was not only cold, but the herbs and the prey were lacking this time of year. It wasn't very ideal for the clan and was quite a scary thing, but they all just had to suck it up and deal with it unfortunately so.


    After a brief moment of silence, the bengal offered up another questions to the other bengal that looked quite similar to herself. "So, have you always lived here or were you a joiner? If you don't mind me asking, that is." she inquired out of curiosity.

    /retro to becoming a warrior + also let's say she's discovered the truth about her parents even though she didn't know at the start of the thread


    Spottedpaw was hesitant for a moment, and she looked at her paws, debating whether or not to tell Ivoryskies about her kittypet heritage. "My parents were kittypets." She looked up, hesitant to speak again for another moment. "They came to me in a dream and told me." Her voice was quiet, and almost ashamed. Would other cats treat her differently if they knew? So far, Ivoryskies was the only cat that knew, and she didn't plan on telling anyone else, not even Tanglepaw.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: none; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;]Ivoryskies didn't really seemed to be very shocked at the news. Nowadays, lots of individuals had loner or kittypet backgrounds and some were half-clanners. She, herself, was not born inside the walls of ThunderClan, but rather as a kittypet for the first two moons of her life and then she lived the rest as a loner before she came here. However, no one knew where she came from or much about her. She had never told anyone. She never really thought it was much important and it was better for others to think she simply had been here all along, right?


    "I suppose, that's not an uncommon thing to be of outsider blood anymore. Plenty of others are not of ThunderClan blood including myself. It seems as the moons go by though, that it becomes less and less important of what blood you are of." she responded simply while she studied the other bengal.

    She nodded slowly, considering Ivoryskies's words. Yes, that was true. Well, new blood was good, or the whole Clan could possibly be related. "Where did you come from?" she promptly asked, curious.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: none; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;]The bengal seemed to hesitate a bit at that. She wasn't sure whether or not she should tell the other female about her history. It was something that she had never revealed to anyone during her time in ThunderClan. However, she almost felt obliged to considering she had just asked Spotted about her own parents. The least she could do is return with information.


    After a moment or so, the green eyed female responded to her. "My mother was a loner and my father was a kittypet. Technically, I was born as a kittypet before my father and one of his two brothers disowned me, my mother, and siblings when I was only two moons. I spent most of my life as a loner before I came here so I've always considered myself as a former loner rather than a kittypet." she managed to spill out.

    Spottedpaw thoughtfully tilted her head. "We could be related." She blurted out. "What was your father's name?" she asked. Her father had visited her in a dream the previous sunrise to discuss his family, and he said he had brothers.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: none; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;]"My father's name was Jinx." the warrior responded. She was almost sure that they were related in some form. If not, it would have just been too consequential to the green eyed female that she would probably still think they were even if they weren't in the end. However, for now, she would just wait for the other Bengal's next reply before jumping to any more conclusions.

    Spottedpaw's jaw dropped a bit. "My father's name was Jonas before he became a warrior. And he told me he had a brother called Jinx." So she had kin in her Clan. She was glad, and astonished. Ivoryskies was her cousin.
