[font=georgia][i]History:
Ivystorm was born from Clan cats together with her only brother. She was raised with love, even if her mother was strict about them going anywhere. One day at night, Ivystorm woke up by the howling of a wolf. She had heard many stories about the sacred wolf gods so she couldn't resist to escape her nest and stealing herself out of the nursery. She had convinced her brother, who was more of a fighter guy, to come with her, because even if she was very curious, she was a bit afraid, too.
The two kits had scrambled out and because they were so small and the majority of the clan was sleeping, they managed to find their way to the ground floor and exit the castle to the territory beyond. Ivystorm was convinced that one of the wolf gods came down to them and that she had noticed it could be a sign. Since she always loved the scent of herbs, the scent of the territory overwhelmed her and she just followed her nose and led her brother deeper into the territory.
Sooner or later her brother noticed he couldn't see the castle anymore and prodded Ivystorm so long until she came back from her trance-like state. The kits realized they had been lost. They tried to find their way back, but when you are so tiny, everythings looks different. The cats began wailing for someone to hear them, but nobody came, but even greater danger. A fox came out of the shadows, attrackted by the kit's loud mewling. Ivystorm and her brother began to run as fast as they could under a bush, but unfurtunately her brother was sturdy and not so fast as his sister. The fox swung one mighty paw and since Ivystorm was still running she only heard the screams of her brother as he flew through the air. As Ivystorm reached the safety of a bramble thicket she turned around, her brother lying lifeless behind the fox who drew nearer to the bush.
Suddenly Ivystorm heard again the howling of a wolf, this time near her. All she could see then was a huge shadow appearing in front of her bush, biting and clawing the fox, until it turned and fled for it's life. Ivystorm shivered with fear, would the wolf eat her now? But the wolf bow down and said in a calm voice "It's alright, little one. Everything will be okay." Then the wolf took her by the scruff and brought her safely back to the castle, where her parents were already crazy with concern. Her parents asked where their son was and the wolf just turned and soon after returned with the limp body in her jaws. The she-wolf laid the body infront of the paws of it's parents and nodded her farewell. Her brother was brought to the medicine cat, but his wounds were too heavy and he died.
Ivystorm had never forgiven herself for this adventure, which had killed her only littermate, but it was then, that she was even more determined to learn everything she could about healing and herbs so that whenever someone comes to her as severe wounded as her brother she would be able to save the life this time. In her dreams, Ivystorm often sees the shadow of the wolf who had safed her life and hopes that one day she might encounter her again and thank her properly.
Personality:
As a kit, Ivystorm was often found escaping the nursery to go over to the medicine cats and watch them. She loved the scent of herbs and tried to remember as much as possible. She is a loving and caring cat who doesn't shy down from every duty, even searching the elders for ticks. She loves to be able to help her clan with her good nose and good memory. She is very patient, but some cat may call her a bit naive. She is quick on her paws to run through the territory to find the herbs needed fast if the store is empty or if antything happens on the field.
