☆☆☆
Gene String: Ó╭╮Ò
Appearance:
Ebonyclaw is sleek, slender, sharp clawed warrior and truly a sight to behold. Slanted grey eyes seem to pierce your soul, and your pelt if you get on her bad side. Her fur, groomed to perfection, is smooth and marbled with dark spots. A dark stripe starting at her forehead cascades all the way down her spine, ending in a striped tail. Her spots bunch together on her legs, and further down they become solid black, giving the look of black boots in an elegant display. Speckles adorn her high cheekbones, following a stripe leading up to her large pointed ears, alot like an oriental cat.
Personality
Please list at least three positive and three negative traits for your character below.
Positive Traits: • Elegant • Protective • Loyal | Negative Traits: • Sharp tongued • Cold • Paranoid |
Personality:
A life of torment has left Ebonyclaw cold, quick to anger, and eerily aware of her surroundings. She walks with the grace and elegance of a cat that knows what she wants, and when she wants it. Ebony is very opinionated, and never hesitates to voice such things. If she thinks you're a mousebrain, she'll say it straight to your face. No one wants to get on her bad side, for she can be very intimidating and sharp tongued. Her words can be as sharp as her claws at times. Her beauty is beyond compare and she knows it. As a young warrior, she used her charm and honeyed words for her own benefit. Perhaps more than she should've. With age she's calmed down in that aspect, but who's to say she's really stopped? Over time she's become a bit nicer, and certainly more proper. More often than not she pays no mind to her clanmates, but isn't unfriendly. Just closed off, distant. On a good day the molly may flirt with the toms! This is mostly just for fun, but maybe she can learn to trust and love again. But for now, as soon as it gets serious she cuts all ties. After so much heartbreak she's not eager to let anyone in.
But there's one exception. Her little stinker, Skunkpaw. Her broken heart seems to have room to love one! A fierce as she is, she can't help but melt and become soft when it comes to the tom. He's her world and they're very close. Becoming a mother was unexpected, but she's come to take it very seriously. Teaching her son to be proper, have manners, and how to take care of himself is her top priority, and she takes every opportunity she sees to teach him something new. The molly loves him more than life itself and would risk it all just to protect him from harm. After everything she's become extremely protective of her son, angrily greeting any possible threat with unforgiving claws. The warrior goes to extreme measures to make sure her baby is safe.

Character Background
History:
From kithood to the present, Ebonyclaw has been a force to reckon with. She grew up alongside her closest friend, Venomstrike, Venompaw at the time. The molly never cared much for her family, choosing rather to get into trouble with Venomstrike. The two were attached at the hip, constantly going on adventures and doing everything together. And eventually, getting their warrior names together. Shortly after that they became mates, strengthening their bond. Together they endured the downfall of their old home. They stuck together when cats were dying and starving, not even death could keep them apart. Among the long journey to the new territory they worked together with their clanmates, and finally came to settle in Gladeclan.
It seems sweet for the most part, but that's wrong. After many moons together Ebonyclaw discovered she was expecting kits. The couple had discussed this before. Both agreed they didn't want kits. Upon hearing the news, Venomstrike was angered. They shared sharp words before eventually coming to an agreement. They would raise the kits as their own. They had to accept responsibility. Throughout the pregnancy she was bitter, angry, and annoyed. There wasn't much she could do, but she desperately wanted to be free and return to warrior duties. However as she got closer to birthing them, something changed in Ebonyclaw. Her heart softened. She realized she truly wanted these kits. She began to look forward to the day she truly became a mother.
That day came, but it wasn't what she had hoped. The queen gave birth to 3 kits, 2 she cats and a tom. One, named Nightkit, was stillborn. The other two seemed to be healthy though, so she clung to them and vowed to make sure they stayed safe forever. There was no time to grieve for Nightkit, perhaps there never will. She became a mother and her kits were now her top priority. Leopardkit and Skunkkit needed her. Venomstrike was far from pleased, but refrained from complaining. As the kits grew, Ebonyclaw's love for them grew as well. She had swallowed her pride and asked her fellow queens for advice, slowly learning how to be a good mother for her kits. The whole clan noticed the change in her. She truly had become a different cat.
Disaster struck once more however. Her children had reached the age of 6 moons. Their apprentice ceremonies were days away. And that's when it happened. Leopardkit, her precious kit, had been found outside of camp. She had left them to join Starclan's ranks. Ebonyclaw was heart broken. Now left with one kit, her protectiveness went to a whole other level. She let her mate comfort her, and he stuck by her side despite his recent distance. Slowly, she began to heal.
Life seems unable to give this poor warrior a break. The medicine cat had observed Leopardkit's body to find the cause of death, ultimately coming to the horrific conclusion. A bite mark, hidden under her fluffy neck fur. Someone did this, and she had to find out who. That didn't take too long. The entire clan put the pieces together, and it was revealed that Venomstrike had killed their kit. Crazed with fury and grief, she attacked him with intent to kill. Her claws blinded him in one eye and left him littered with scars. The anguished mother chased him off the territory, and he was never to be seen again. It's unknown if he survived his injuries, though it's unlikely. Venomstrike was banned from the clans.
For a long while after that, she had grown paranoid and wary of her surroundings. But in the end it didn't even matter. It wasn't safe to live in the clans anymore, for twolegs had ravaged the land just like before. She fought for her son and the budding relationships she had formed with all the fire inside of her. Worn and weary, the cats were given hope once more. Find somewhere new, it was as simple as that, right? It wasn't her first time on a big journey. And so they went. They found a new home, lush and free. Venomstrike was gone and her family was here. Now it's time to start again, to focus on her family and growing together in their new home as Ebonyclaw and Skunkstreak of Mossclan.
