Character Name:
"I am Owlnight. Perhaps you've heard of me? Ha. Of course not. Most who do don't survive to pass on their tales."
Character Age:
"Forty-seven moons young."
Gender:
"I'm offended that you can't tell I'm a she-cat. Have you no nose?"
Alliance:
"I always have been and always will be a member of Shadowclan. There is no other place for me."
Rank:
"I am nearing the rank of senior warrior; not because of my age, but because of my abilities."
Appearance:
"My pelt is thin, which is quite useful in my line of work. I'm slightly undersized, but that helps out a good bit as well. You don't see many spies who are huge, now do you?
"Yes, I am a spy, and I'm built well for it. My pelt, which is mostly a beautiful silver-gray, is neither too light nor too dark, so I can hide well in any light. I have all sorts of stripes and spots of black on my fur that are quite helpful when it comes to hiding. I'm not exactly a tabby, although that's how most refer to me as. My stripes aren't in the right pattern; they're too broken and I'm more spotted than striped anyways. A twoleg once referred to me as a 'broken mackerel.'
"My chest is just barely white; it blends perfectly into the rest of my fur that the color change happens before you realize it. But it's not completely white: the black markings still continue and only the silver undercoat changes.
"Both of my eyes are a golden amber color, always glowing. I've learned that I have better vision than others, that I can see farther and in better detail than my clanmates are able too. My whiskers are long, making it so I can navigate well, even with my eyes closed. I was built to be huntress, but I don't care. I have made myself into a fierce warrior, and, although my muscles are thin and no where near bulky, I am quite strong."
Personality:
"What am I like? I am Owlnight, the stealthiest, most ruthless cat in all of Shadowclan! I have no room in my heart for others; all I live for is my own work. Any my work is hard. It's not exactly easy tracking cats without being seen or scented. And if I need to kill them? It has to be quick. I have an uncanny ability to find another cats weakness. Once I have that weakness? I exploit it. Their death comes before they know it.
"When it comes to cats in my own clan, I have little or no respect for the most of them. I am proud, and obviously superior to others. If they want to talk to me, they can better themselves and fix their weaknesses.
"I'm a killer."
---Likes:
"I love my work. Sneaking, stalking, tracking, killing. I love it. It's what I'm best at. It's what I do.
"I love smells. All sorts of them. Even the ones that most other cats don't, like herb-scent and the dirtplace. It's part of my job to recognize different scents, even those of cats from outside my clan. Somewhere along the line, I began to love them, even to the point of becoming obsessed.
"Rain. But just the just-barely there rain. A sprinkling, if you will. When it's actually pouring down, I get annoyed."
--- Dislikes:
What don't I like? I don't like other cats knowing they're not as strong as they could be and not doing anything about it. I don't like warriors who haven't taken their weaknesses and turned it into a strength.
"I do not like kits. Yes, I have my own, and I see them as one of the worst mistakes of my life. Having them was a mistake.
"I don't like mushy-gushy feelings. Or feelings at all. I have no need for them, and therefore and henceforth, I do not have feelings."
---Strengths:
"My ability to track. My ability to kill. My ability to find another cat's weakness instinctively and know how to use it against them. Being me. Need I say more?"
---Weaknesses:
"Weaknesses? Me! Ha! I have no weaknesses! And those I was born with, I have over come and turned into my strengths."
--she won't admit her weaknesses, so, sadly, i have to for her. that's one of her weaknesses, actually. her pride. others include her inability to accept others as they are, her hastiness and short temper, and, of course, that skeleton hiding in the closet of her past--
History:
"I was born in Shadowclan many moons ago to Ivyclaw, my mother, and Yelloweye, my father. I had three brothers: Black/kit, Pinekit, and Kestralkit. I was the only she-cat out of the litter, so I became one of the toms.
"At a young age, Black/kit disappeared. Probably for the better though; he was the weakest out of all of us. I'm actually quite sure that Yelloweye led him into the forest, only to leave him there.
"That left only me, Pinekit, and Kestralkit. We were all apprenticed at the same time, and my mentor was Velvetfur, one of the most respected warriors in the clan. He was a kittypet-warrior's son. I made him train me harder than he expected he would, and I figure he didn't like me much. When Velvetfur wouldn't train me, I talked other warriors into doing it. And when the other warriors wouldn't comply, I went out by myself.
"My training paid off and I received my warrior name at only nine moons. Kestralpaw and Pinepaw never forgave me for it and didn't speak a word to me for the rest of their lives.
"When they became Kestraltalon and Pinepelt, I received my first apprentice: Toadpaw. He was a lousy apprentice. Rarely wanted to train, was quite lazy. He ended up deserting us; I hear he's in Riverclan now.
"My mentor and my father both died in a battle for Thunderclan's territory. Both of my brothers died during a green-cough epidemic. My mother had long retired to the elders den where she only spoke nonsense about never-ending suns and falling balls of fire. I, for the first time, was alone. But I at least had my pick of toms.
"I chose Scorchtail because he was a strong warrior. He had good genetics, and, as I'm embarrassed to admit, he made me feel happy. We only mated once because I never wanted to have kits. But, of course, I became pregnant. I didn't want to be, so I did all I could to get rid of them. I took herbs, I had my clanmates batter my stomach with their paws, everything I could think of. But it didn't work. I gave birth to two kits, Beastkit and Foxkit.
"Scorchtail was rarely around, and when he was, he was awful. Always telling me how to raise the kits, telling me what I was doing wrong. So I plotted to kill him. I didn't need him anymore, and he was only in the way. Beastkit, thankfully, ran off one day and Scorchtail and I had to search for him. We found him being attacked by a fox --what luck! I quickly finished off the fox, and then turned on Scorchtail. He wasn't hard to kill; I'd been with him long enough to know where his weak points were and how to use them against him. Beastkit has never spoken a word about my killing his father, and agrees with the rest of the clan that he was killed by the fox.
"Now, both of the kits are apprentices, and I'm back to being the warrior I was."
