The camera clicks on to see an apprentice-aged leopard.
"Hello! I don't know how to start this... Um, I'm Pastelpaw Hadrian-Prior, daughter of Lilystar Hadrian-Prior and an NPC leopard. I'm a guardian of Windclan. I found this video thing, and here I am. I don't know how to explain this but... I wanted someone to talk to, and I guess a video camera is the most I can do without... talking to an actual person who replies and makes me embarrassed and such."
The leopard chuckles, shifting her paws in an awkward manner.
"So I guess I should get you up to speed," Pastelpaw pauses mentally slapping herself as she referred to a material object as a "you", "on my life, that is. What's happened so far and such. Just so you- screw it, I'm referring to this camera as 'you', why not? Just so you get where I'm coming from. This'll be a while."
"I was born into Windclan as a leopard, and I was pretty happy. Y'know how kids are, they bounce off the walls and pretend they can take more responsibility then they can- I wish I was still that self-confident, haha. Anyways, my name was Northerncub back then- wow I haven't used that name in forever."
"Soon before becoming an apprentice I learned I had this power called shape shifting, and I turned into a blue tabby with one eye. Yeah, missing the right eye, I believe. It sucked- and I was stuck like that for the majority of my life. And that stupid missing eye caused me a lot more trouble then I thought. I was attacked by a rogue... lynx? I think it was a lynx... a lot of self loathing followed."
"I hated myself. I really, truly thought I would be better off dead... I thought about it a lot, dying. I haven't told anyone that. After that I walked a lot, getting my mind off of things, y'know? So, I was on one of my self-hatred filled walks when I fell from quite the height and lost my memories."
"I didn't know my name, I didn't know what Windclan was, I didn't even know my own mother. They were all calling me Northernpaw and I just kind of flipped out, I was so overwhelmed- so I left. I finally reached Riverclan and made a new name for myself, Radiopaw."
"Riverclan was... nice. I didn't know anyone, really. No one will remember me if I go back, I can garuntee you. Then I had a nightmare- Lily dying. I didn't know her name, but I knew it was my mother. I thought for the longest time that she was dead, that no one out there cared that I was missing. I hated it- more self-loathing, hehe."
The leopard took a breath, looking a bit shaky. It was Christmas, and she was reminding herself of bad events. It wasn't a great way to end the day
"Eventually I regained my memory and realized that Mom was indeed alive. I left Riverclan- only leaving a note because I was to scared to leave publicly. When I got to Windclan I was glad to be back, but I still felt odd. I didn't fit in. I felt like a stranger to myself. I was uncomfortable twenty-four seven."
"It's like I didn't fit into my own skin. This time I didn't want to die though. I didn't want a bad life to end, I just wanted a bad life to get better. Of course, just my luck, the time I wanted to live I died. Yup, I was hit by a car. Death is weird. It can't be described. It's not anything but it's not nothing. I... I can't describe it. Anyways, I came back not that long after. I don't know how that happened either, but it cost me all my bodies except for the leopard and my voice- but I have one extra leopard body with speech, luckily."
"It's hard to explain but I was kind of happier after returning. I am happier, to say. I understand that all my problems can be fixed now. I like life now- to an extent. Main point is, all that * led me here. From here on out, you'll be up to date on my life."
The guardian took a deep breath. That was a lot. She hadn't told anyone many of her thoughts like she had this time.
"Oh, and Merry Christmas."
