sheepcloud [wip]

[attr="class","arrgenMAINTEXT"]on the surface, sheepcloud comes across as the ideal warrior-- or former warrior, anyway. determined and passionate, she has never let anything stand in her way when it comes to her goals. she's a firm believer that the only way to get anywhere in life is to work hard, make a name for yourself, and stand out. she's no pushover, and is quick to fight back towards those who try and push her buttons. she's very easily provoked, with a sharp tongue and equally sharp claws to match. the only cats who have ever seen her soft side are her kits, her pride and joy. she does not tolerate any sort of nonsense and expects everyone around her to be doing their best work, and will not hesitate to punish slackers. she's willing to devote her loyalty to wherever she may reside, but only if she has something to gain from it. she couldn't care less otherwise.

no one can doubt sheepcloud's courageous and bold personality. she's never been one to shy away from danger, and in fact quite welcomes it. anything that can keep her on her toes and shake things up is more than welcome-- after all, things get rather boring in a routine, don't they? she gets bored rather quickly and is always attempting to come up with things to keep her occupied. she loves to toe the line of danger, and she finds fighting to be exciting and exhilarating. sheepcloud perhaps works harder than anyone, and has very little patience for goofing off. in fact, she barely ever lets herself rest if there's work to be done. she likes to cause trouble on the windclan border and often tries to provoke the clan cats into a fight purely for the excitement.

there's no denying how arrogant the molly can be. she truly believes that she's more talented and good-looking than anyone else, and isn't afraid to show it. she's worked hard all her life, and for what? only to get chased out for being a vocal supporter of emberstar. the bitterness is there, but it's hidden beneath her ever-increasing desire for vengeance. she has sworn to get back at her former clan through any means necessary. the molly is very greedy and power-hungry, and is willing to do anything at all if it means she can rise through the ranks. being hawkeye's mate and pseudo-deputy of the rogue group is more than she ever had in windclan, which is the sole reason she still sticks around to this day. she enjoys the power that comes from being the tom's mate. she's very selfish, and hardly thinks about anyone else but herself. everything she does, she does in her own best interest. it's hard to say if she even cares about anyone else, save for her sons. even hawkeye isn't really her 'mate', in the true sense.

sheepcloud is incredibly fierce and hot-headed. she's a force to be reckoned with, both during and outside of battle. she knows how to use her good looks to her advantage, and isn't afraid to manipulate any poor suckers to get whatever she wants. she's a talented fighter, and doesn't hesitate to fight dirty in order to win her battles. she has blood on her claws but it hardly matters. above all else, she's incredibly vengeful and will hold grudges for many moons until she can enact her vengeance. after the battle, she has sworn vengeance on her former clan for what they've done to her and will not be satisfied until she can feel the life draining from viperstar's tiny, worthless body.

Two tiny little black kittens are born, aptly named Sheepkit and Swiftkit. Their parents prove themselves to be exceedingly stern and hard to please. Swiftkit is clearly the runt, but is smart and observant. Sheepkit is large, rowdy and ambitious. Both are groomed by their parents into tiny little warriors and are barely given time to play or relax. As such, the two become each other's best friend and only confidante.

Sheep-paw and Swiftpaw are named apprentices. Sheep-paw is assigned to an older molly by the name of Moosefang. The warrior is cold, strict, and ruthless and tolerates no nonsense from the young black molly. The two butt heads constantly, but with Moosefang's relentless training sessions, Sheep-paw can feel herself growing stronger over time. She quickly overpowers the other apprentices-- she is briefly punished for going too far and accidentally injuring one of her fellow denmates, landing them in the medicine den.

She is given her first apprentice young, a big bulky tom by the name of Elmpaw. She proves to be a stern mentor, working him long and hard with few breaks.

Cobrapaw and Umberpaw are named apprentices and Sheepcloud is immensely relieved to be able to return to her duties as a warrior.

Morningstar dies suddenly and Emberstar takes over as leader, naming Vipereye his deputy. His true colors are shown once he returns from the Moonpool.

50 MOONS
After Emberstar threatens Riverclan over a bunch of half-clan kits, both clans prepare for war. But before they can attack, a civil war breaks out-- who are soon joined by Riverclan themselves. Emberstar is killed in the battle, and her brother Swiftbrook is killed right in front of her. Emberstar's supporters are driven out, including Sheepcloud, Hawkeye and her sons. Infuriated and humiliated, Sheepcloud vows to one day enact her vengeance on the clan that turned its back on her, and helps Hawkeye recruit rogues to build up their group.
