Ebonypounce

Lichenclan

A nimble charcoal bengal molly with golden eyes

(Using rare trait)

Character Stature: Ebonypounce's body is longer than average. She doesn't have a lot of muscle but makes up for it in height. Being light on her paws and noteworthily graceful lead to many stares from her clanmates. Ebonypounce's posture stands anywhere from regal to carefree depending on her mood. In battle, the she-cat relies heavily on speed to make quick blows and subdue her foes.

Character Pelt: Stealth in the depth of the night is easy with a pelt as dark as hers. Ebonypounce is a charcoal bengal from dark tabby markings to the rosette laced in her fur. A rare sight in lichenclan were many color-points and grey tone cats are more commonly found. Her pelt has a glossy shine and is rather smooth to the touch. There also a lingers scent of the beach as she spend a lot of her time there.

Character Face: Ebonybounce's golden eyes compliment her very well. She has a round head and snort muzzle. She has a small black nose, long white whispers and two triangular shaped ears. Ebonybounce can normally be found with a gentle smile on her face and kindness in her eyes.

Empathetic/Diligent: Ebonypounce is a kindred soul who cares a great deal about her clanmates. With all the death and torment from the previous war finally beginning to heal. She tries to put herself through their shoes given empathy instead of sympathy. She's a good listener as well. Someone prefers to forgive and never forget than hold a grudge. Lichenclan will always be her first priority however she finds it hard to ignored the pains and sorrow from outsiders. They are people too maybe not the best however everyone has a reason for what they do. As a molly of Lichenclan Ebonypounce knows what her responsibilities are and she works tirelessly to see that they are achieved. Being quite the gifted huntress helps her family status and well as her own. It also keeps her out of having to do nursery duties more than not.

Fearless/Religious: Witnessing many deaths and going through the hardships of grief and denial has caused Ebonypounce to hardened herself to an extend. In the fact of deadly situation she will barely flinch. The she-cat can take harsh words but expect them to be thrown right back. She's rather witty like that. As many members of Lichenclan cares a great deal about Starclan she's no exception. Ebonypounce might not be like her more zealotic clanmates but she believes the star guide the path of everyone good or evil. They are to be respected but not worships like an all knowing-being or gods.

Skeptical/Self-conscious: Ebonypounce doesn't have trust issues presay it's more of a matter that just she takes any rumors or claims of madness with a grain of the salt. No one can be as bad as minnowstar! While she knows Lichenclan is slowly changing for better there are there who still are more or less cutthroat will kill in the name of "Starclan". This lead to the misinterpretation she's uncaring or cold however that's is far from the true. Her greatest weakness is that Ebonypounce constantly questions her self-worth. She has the looks, knowledge, and strenght to become an amazing warrior however with her recent betrothal and the circumstances behind that. It's leaves her wondering if she make a single mistake will she lose everything.

---

Furzechaser was arranged to a proud warrior called Storkdew in an effort to move past the betrayal her sister (Bluebell) had done by failing her duty as a she-cat and leaving the clan. Her bitterness over being abandoned her sister vowed never to let her kits follow in that traitor's footsteps. She was around 30 moons old when she became a proper mother. In the depth of leaf-bare two little kits came into the world both healthy and strong. They were deemed a blessing from Starclan and named Ebonykit and Lynxkit.

Ebonykit was a curious little one. She was one of the smallest kits in the nursery at the times but inseparable to her brother. He was her bodyguard always protecting her from the bullies who would try to pick on her. Ebonykit lacked confident in herself until she met Heronkit for the first time. He was a rather grumpy boy however she found him interesting. He reminded her on her brother but colder. Heronkit played mossball her even listened to her outlandish stories. In her eyes he was the best. Ebonykit could say he was her first ever friend even if he crashed with her brother at times.

Six moons came and went, Ebonypaw and Lynxpaw joined the ranks of the apprentices. Heronpaw was already a moon ago into his training when she joined the den however that didn't made. She was glad they could remained close. Her mentor was duckpubble and she was on of the hardest mentor to pleased. Some would say she was downright ruthless. Ebonypaw didn't mind however as she put everything into her training so she could keep up with the rest. Her reputation grew with time. She was quite the skilled huntress from her ranks. Around nine moons old, Ebonypaw discover she had a crush on Heronpaw. She didn't know how but she just did it. Despite her attempts to hint at it they never seemed to work. Heronpaw prefer the company of the eyeless molly called Crescentpaw more. It hurt even more when both of the cats gained their warriors named and not long after that they were betrothed. Ebonypaw learned to let go even through it wasn't easy. Ebonypaw bared witness to the mass confession Minnowstar did and the brutality that followed. She never okay of it but didn't speak up either.

After a lot of hard work, Ebonypaw became Ebonypounce. Many toms from her apprenticeship tried to woo for her affection only to be turned down by the she-cat. Rumors came around that Furzechaser was expecting another litter and after talking with her mother Ebonypounce found it was true. She was going to be an older sister now. She was filled with joy but this leaf-bare would be a cruel one. Furzechaser had contracted greencough last into her pregnancy and it took her life.

That was the first time Ebonypounce broke down. She sobbed into her brother shoulder when the news was given. It took her time to recover. The pain was far stronger than the pain of her unrequited feelings for Herongaze. She took it easy for the next few moons. In the great war which end the life of minnowstar, Ebonypounce were among the many who fled from clan and refused to fight. Many would call her a coward but she could fight in a war she didn't believe in. It been too moons since that and Lichenclan has grown better under Yarrowstar althought she doesn't know if she can trust  his judgement yet. Also Stockdew began to speak with Cricketcall around this time and she didn't understand why?

It wasn't until she heard that Cricketcall called off Cresentbloom's and Herongaze's engagement and that fact she was now going to his new mate. That she understood what her father did for her. There were many mixed feelings however she accepted it. Now a new chapter in her life is about to begin and hopefully for the better.
