Name: Pearlflame
Clan: RiverClan
Position: Warrior
Age: 14 moons
Gender: Female
Peltage: Pearlflame has an off-white pelt with very faint brown markings on her legs and a medium brown smudge over her nose. Because she is blind, Pearlflame has pure white eyes; though in direct light, sometimes the faintest hints of her former blue eyes are visible. She has a medium build and is strong for a female, but is by no means capable of throwing down some of the larger males in the Clans.
Personality: Pearlflame is a kind creature and a fierce warrior all in one. Around her Clanmates she is sweet and caring, always willing to lend a paw or play with the kits when needed, and is utterly devoted to Sabrefang. She is wise beyond her years, a wisdom believed to have been imparted on her after becoming blind. However, despite her kind nature and handicap, she has proven herself time and time again as a fierce and able warrior. She is a strong follower of the Warrior Code and is always eager for some challenge to prove her loyalty to her Clan. She is known to sometimes lapse into moments of depression, as she still blames herself for the death of her sister and has yet to recover from it.
History: (( I know you didn't want it, but I always enjoy writing out the histories of my characters... If you mind, I'll take it off. ^^
) Pearlflame was born to Pantherpelt and an unnamed father along with her sister. When her eyes opened, they were shown to be a bright crystal blue. Her original name had been Dirtykit and her sister was named Softkit. They both lived normal lives up until they were both one moon. They had vanished one night in the midst of a snowstorm, and when they were found the next day they were both unconscious by the shallows of the river. The sickness they were gripped with was one which the medicine cat had never seen before, and while she did everything she could Softkit was lost the next night.
Dirtykit, meanwhile, had fallen into a strange trance of some sort. At least, the medicine cat knew it as a trance; the rest of the camp thought of it as the brink of death. Which was partially true; however, the medicine cat knew that Dirtykit would recover eventually. When she did 'come back to life', her eyes had turned white; Pantherpelt wailed that StarClan had stolen her daughter's eyes. Her recovery was surprisingly fast, and she was playing with the other kits within hours of her awakening. It became obvious that, while she had lost her eyesight, StarClan had dramatically heightened her senses of smell and hearing; to the casual onlooker, watching Pearlkit play, she had perfect vision. It was ultimately decided to continue her into apprenticeship to see if she could learn to hunt and fight without her eyes. Before she was given a mentor, she was put through the name changing ceremony and given the apprentice name Pearlpaw to reflect her white eyes.
Her apprenticeship went very well; she quickly proved to be as good a hunter and fighter as the rest of the apprentices, and in some respects excelled past them in her training. She quickly became friends with Sabrepaw and the two trained together as often as possible and went out to catch fresh kill for the elders. She spent the freetime she wasn't with Sabrepaw with the elders, listening to their stories and soaking up their knowledge of the world. She was given her warrior name on the same night as Sabrefang, and they both sat vigil together. She did her best to honor her sister's memory as a warrior and sometimes felt as though Softkit were watching over her, guarding her at every pawstep. Currently, Pearlflame and Sabrefang are still in the stage of being best friends, though the possibility of developing further is definately there.
IC:The gentle she-cat stood in the shallows of the river, her head tilted towards Silverpelt. The only sign of movement in her body was the occasional twitch in her ear as a stray sound caught her attention, but it would quickly return to the task at paw.
Pearlflame's eyes were caught in the moonlight, and her former blue irises were faintly visible against the backdrop of white. Some of her Clanmates had thought this meant her vision was returning, but StarClan took her vision as a kit in exchange for strength and wisdom. At least, that's what Pantherpelt told her. She had constantly assured her blind daughter that StarClan have their reasons for everything they do and that Pearlflame was not meant to have vision for special reasons.
The she-cat sighed and a shiver went down her spine. She closed her eyes, continuing to bathe in the soft moonlight and gentle sound of the river sighing over pebbles. Her ears were strained for...
There.
A soft purr escaped her as she relaxed, hearing the sound of the returning patrol. Sabrefang was with them, and as a warm breeze brushed his scent over her smudged nose and she opened her eyes again, gazing blindly in the direction of the sound of pawsteps, and the return of her one and only.
Code:SPRING!
Grawr, sorry... That was so much longer than I thought it would be. ^^;
