Short description: a she-cat who has green eyes and a calico pelt.
Physical Description:
the first thought that her clanmates often think when they see her is 'she's too thin'. being short-furred, this singles out her weight even more because her ginger-and-black patched pelt clings to her frame. as well as this, she is also small and though you would think all of this would make her pretty weak, it does not and when she feels everyone is looking at her, she tries to eat a lot to prove all of them wrong. really she is just slender and has a small build.
despite the rest of her body being small, the one thing that sticks out on her is her tail and leaves others in awe when they study it. it is long and constantly tucked between her paws when she is sitting down, though when she runs it flies in the air as though she is carrying around a banner.
another nice feature of hers are her green eyes. some describe them as the colour of grass when the sun shines down onto it and as round as the moon itself, glowing with curiosity as she looks around at her surroundings.
Personality:
like a lot of she-cats who grow up wanting to be the toughest, most fiercesome warrior ever, cherryfur has long since grown out of this stage and has been nurtured by older females into what could be classed as great queen material. she is gentle, she is patient, she is understanding and all of this makes her the classic mother figure to younger felines who might perhaps be in need of one, or are just looking for somebody who will treat them like they're still a child for a moment, to sweeten up the responsibility that is to be held within the distant future.
being this way means she does everything to keep her clanmates safe as well. she will be stubborn and not be easily swayed into having a different opinion despite how hard the other might try to do this. cherryfur will be all too willing to argue against going into battle if she believes it is going to bring harm to those she is close to but on the same hand, if this is to protect them then she will happily remain quiet and fight for what she believes in. one thing she is completely against however is the injuring of kittens, apprentices and elders. no matter how great a battle is about to take place, she believes that they should be kept out of it and instead of endangering them, all clans should work together to protect them, despite their differences.
her views make her easy to get into an argument with, especially with her clanmates who feel that they should fight to prove they are not to messed with. clanmates may tease her about this and because she is so adamant on the subject, it causes her to get wound up easily which will make the argument last much longer than it should. she is not forgiving either so the cat who upset her will most likely not be liked by her again, at least not for a while.
cherryfur is very touchy on certain subjects, such as that of her being unable to carry kittens. it makes her feel upset and when anyone tries to talk to her about it, she pretends that she is fine and having a litter isn't that big a deal to her though many can tell that she is lying. she still grasps onto the fact that she may yet fall pregnant but deep down, she knows it will not happen.
History:
having been together for as long as they had, both swantail and oaknose trusted each other with their lives. she was sweet and he was fierce - they could not have been any more different from eachother. they were in love though and when she was forty-nine moons old, they were overjoyed to learn that swantail was pregnant. she took no risks and made sure that she took care of herself so that her kittens would be born healthy. soon the day arrived and both of the kits carried the same calico pelt. it was decided a little after their birth that they would be called cherrykit and pansykit.
the two of them made friends quickly, to their parents' delight. they were wonderful - polite and well-behaved though still curious and playful, exactly what everybody had hoped for. they did not want troublemakers but they still wanted little ones who were just like most other kits, always exploring the camp and pestering to go along on hunting patrols so that they could catch mice and squirrels (which were actually just leaves, to their dismay.) their games grew rougher and towards the end of their time as kits they were soon pretending to be in battle with some of their friends acting as thunderclan warriors and others as shadowclan.
the apprentice ceremony soon arrived, with cherrypaw being introduced for the first time to the warrior ashstream, someone she had only seen glimpses of when in play, going about her duties. she had been concerned about how her mentor was going to be, after hearing stories of mentors being strict and taking on a no-nonsense attitude with their apprentices. she had no reason to be scared though because ashstream soon showed cherrypaw that she was just as childish, if not more. ashstream still loved to play games and listen to jokes from time to time and there were other warriors who were like that as well.
there was one day during her apprenticeship that cherrypaw encountered a dog. she was too confident and believed that she could scare it off easily but to her horror, it was a lot stronger than she had first thought. she was lucky that warriors had been nearby and that she got away with just an injured leg. it took a while to heal again with her taken out of action for a moon or so due to a torn muscle but once it had healed, she was back to learning everything she needed to. time seemed to fly by and the day rolled around that she was to receive her warrior name, two moons later than her littermate who had since become pansyheart, who had promised she would not rub it in her face. she couldn't help but do because whenever cherrypaw saw pansyheart she was reminded of the fact that she was not yet a warrior. still, she thought it was nice of her sister to say that.
cherryfur and pansyheart had the cheering of their clanmates ringing in their ears all night. they were happy to finally be warriors after what had seemed like forever of being deemed as babies. the two often spoke of how their warrior ceremony is one thing in their life that they will never forget, whilst other things will in time fade from their minds. both of them got straight to work on making sure that they didn't oversleep and miss patrols that they were meant to go on, or accidentally go over borders and get thunderclan into trouble. they didn't want to be thought of as the warriors who made dangerous mistakes after all
everything was peaceful until the death of squirrelstar. it left everyone shocked when the leader lost her last life to a fox trap. bramblestar stepped up in her place as leader and he had to announce his deputy. there was a lot of chatting on who everyone thought it would be and soon he announced his choice; rowanmask. he was asked to step down later on because of his sadness for pepperpaw disappearing getting in the way of his duties and soon another deputy was chosen. it was around this time that she met the handsome foxeye and at thirty-one moons, they began to try for kittens of their own. six moons later cherryfur still hasn't noticed the signs that she is pregnant and tries to think that they just haven't been lucky. she refuses to accept the fact that she is barren and though she knows deep down that this is the truth, a little part of her tries to argue against it. she hears elders talking about one of her older relatives being unable to have kittens and saying how it's a shame is as well; this makes her more determined to prove them wrong. it seems so unfair that she would have the chance of motherhood taken right from beneath her paws, especially when other cats who don't want their kits abandon them. sooner or later she will have no choice but to come to terms with it but for now, she still has a shred of hope left that she might still end up carrying kits. whilst she would be willing to adopt any kittens, it would never be the same as having her own kits. she is just glad that foxeye seems to be understanding and willing to stay with her, despite them never getting the chance to raise a family. if foxeye ever did want to leave her for another, she would be perfectly fine with it. whilst she loves him, she would not want him to stop pursuing his dreams just because of her.
