Splashmist

[attr="class","arrgenMAINTEXT"]confident but quiet
Splashmist is very comfortable in her own fur and is not afraid to stand up for herself when it comes to it. She loves and cares for herself, struggling very little with her own insecurities. That doesn't mean she has none, but she is strong in who she is. Even accepting the part of her that wasn't Riverclan. She has decided that she is completely Riverclan, as she was born here and grew here, and fell in love with here. Riverclan is her home and her loyalties lie here, not with her brother and other father. She's decided who she is and is not afraid to be herself. Even if she is one of the quietest cats in Riverclan.

calm but passive
Most of the time Splashmist is very calm and can seem like a doormat that other cats can walk over. She doesn't get angry often and would much rather settle disputes with gentle words than with hostility. But she does not allow the words of others to tear her down. She is not afraid to stand up for herself and can be really scary when she does get mad. She is never impulsive and will more than not give the silent treatment to those she's upset with, allowing her disappointment and bitterness to show through her eyes and her calm and calculated silence.

fierce and competitive
Despite her calm and passive personality, Splashmist is not afraid to use her claws to protect herself and others. She's a strong fighter and a calculating strategist who studies her opponent and uses their attack style against them. She can get pulled down by her sense of competitiveness, especially when it comes to those in her clan. Who's the fastest swimmer, the fastest runner, the strongest fighter, the most accurate hunter. She has a habit of getting caught up in the details and can sometimes mentally trip over her own paws. She works too hard to be number one and struggles with getting help from others when she needs it.

loving but distant
Splashmist is a very caring cat. She loves with full passion and can often take on a motherly type of love. She would love to have a mate and have kits sometime in the future but finds that she doesn't like toms as much as she does Blossomtalon. Of whom she has fallen head over paws for. However, sometimes she can be emotionally distant, preferring to keep her emotions to herself so she doesn't get hurt. A sense of betrayal lives in her heart over the idea that she's half Thunderclan, but her bitterness doesn't show on her face very often.

thoughtful and dreams
Staring off into space is one of Splashmist's favorite past times. She's very thoughtful and strong in her interpersonal relationship with herself. She can be a bit of a slow processor and sometimes needs time to think before she makes a decision. But she also loves to think about the what-ifs a little too much. Sometimes her mind goes off somewhere else, thinking of different impossible scenarios and trying to think through them. But sharing her ideas and thoughts is something that she struggles with and the only cat she's likely to speak to about them is Blossomtalon. The one cat she feels completely safe with.

reliable but ambitious
Splashmist is a very hard worker. Sometimes taking her duty as a warrior a little too seriously and has worn herself out more times than not. She needs to be told when to take a break and how to find that balance. But if you need something done well and right, Splashmist is the one you should go to because she's ready and willing to do things with integrity and strong morals. But she's also very aspiring. It goes along with that competitive streak she's got going on. She wouldn't mind if she was chosen as the next deputy as her heart is for her clan and she is under the impression that she would make a great leader someday.

intelligent but deeply emotional
Even if she doesn't show her emotional side very often, Splashmist is very deep in her own waves of feelings that she has to hide behind her intelligence to keep herself from falling apart. She's an amazing strategist and a strong fighter for her size and an overachieving swimmer. But her emotions are locked up in a chest at the bottom of the sea where she hides them and ignores them so that she can be a functional warrior and friend. The only cat she would consider sharing with is Blossomtalon, and even then, for now, she's nervous about opening up.

[attr="class","arrgenMAINTEXT"]KITHOOD
they were in love, but it took a long time. they hated each other at first. two completely different personalities. frostfire a harsh spitfire, with stonesong being a calm and collected tom. they both felt emotions passionately, they just responded with them differently. frostfire was open and outspoken, stonesong gentle and loving. they were the same, but different. and eventually, they saw each other and began to respect one another.

the problem was, frostfire was a thunderclan cat, and stonesong was a riverclan cat. they fell in love. and once they were mates their deepest desire was to become parents. while that didn't seem possible stonesong decided to go to a friend of his and asked her to become a surrogate mother for the two of them. under wraps of course. hesitantly she agreed. the decision would be to play as stonesong's mate until the kits were born but mate with frostfire and stonesong so that the kits would be related to the both of them.

eternally grateful, stonesong took good care of her while she was pregnant with the kits. taking his time to lavish her with care and affection in front of the rest of the clan, while also continuously thanking her for helping him and frostfire even though she had no reason to.

she fell in love with him. but she knew she couldn't have him. even before the kits were born her love for him grew. he was so kind and gentle. and he cared for her so lovingly even if it was more like a sister than a lover. still, she went along with it. she simply accepted her fate, a fate of unrequited love.

when the kits were finally born there were two of them, with one of them being a beautiful calico she-kit stonesong called splashkit. and the other strong snow furred tom-kit called Whitekit. even before they opened their eyes the two of them were pushing each other around and drinking each other's milk, and so on. but only a couple of weeks had gone by and cypresskit had gone missing. or at least that's how the clan saw it.

in actuality, stonesong had taken him and brought him to frostfire to live in thunderclan. frostfire had found a she-cat in his clan who would nurse him. and so the two grew up apart.

Splashkit grew up very close to her father. Calm and kind were what Splashkit learned from him. But she was also rather quiet her first three moons, keeping to herself, close to her "mother" and father. She absolutely loved the stories of the elders, and so often found herself sitting in front of them with wide eyes and full of wonder. However, when she did play with the other kits in the nursery, it was difficult to pull her down. She was smart, competitive, and quick on her feet. Still, it wasn't often that she played. Most of the time preferring to watch the rest of the kits play and roll around. She had this habit of observing them intently, thinking about what she would do in their situations.

There was one kit, however, that she enjoyed watching more than anything. Blossomkit was just a moon older than her, and yet she'd always caught Splashkit's eye. And it wasn't that she was shy, or anything like that, but there was just this need to watch her, this desire to learn from her. They barely ever spoke as kits, Splashkit happy to just be in the same space as her.

Then whitecough spread throughout the camp and Blossomkit and her siblings got really sick. Splashkit was confined to the nursery during this time and wasn't allowed to see them again. At least not until the three of them became apprentices. Relieved, Splashkit began to look out for her once again. She also would be an apprentice soon and she just couldn't wait to be in the same den as Blossompaw once again.

APPRENTICESHIP
Finally, she became an apprentice. A moon later and she was given the mentor skywind. Young and vain, skywind was not the kind of mentor that Splashpaw was hoping for. The one good thing about her though was her style in battle. Splashpaw had a very difficult time trying to win mock battles with her, but every time she did, which wasn't often, she felt incredibly good about herself.

While they disliked each other, the two of them never fought. Instead, they respected each other's differences and tolerated each other. Splashpaw would one day thank Skywind for teaching her so much about fighting, but that day was nowhere near soon.

One day, she found herself staring face to face with Blossompaw once again. With a calm and tranquil expression, which later turned into a face full of focus, Splashpaw won by tripping up the other she-cat. She studied Blossompaw's new moves and still had a rough time beating her. But the competition was refreshing. Not spoiled by unspoken, disgruntled feelings.

Blossompaw demanded a rematch and Splashpaw was happy to oblige. This time she was the loser, but the respect of skill formed between them, spurring on their sense of competition for some time and later deepening their relationship.

She knew it was always there. That twinkle of something more than a friendly rivalry. They were even spending a lot more time together, now that Splashpaw wanted an actual relationship rather than just standing on the sidelines. She was a confident apprentice, despite her mentor's selfish streak, and worked hard to complete her training. She would still watch Blossompaw and admire her from within her own head but wasn't yet ready to admit her own feelings toward the classic tabby.

It was around her 9th moon that her father, stonesong, brought her to the thunderclan border and introduced her to her brother Whitepaw. It was a strange reunion, as neither of them remembered the other very well, but Splashpaw came to accept it, calmly. Her feelings of turmoil and loyalty to her clan spoiled by her tainted blood. She never told anyone, but she knew she would never make the mistake her fathers made. She was loyal to Riverclan and Riverclan only. Her heart was only for one.

Once again she was alone in her den. The spot where Blossomtalon used to sleep cold and empty. At least she's able to see her best friend around camp and even spend a little bit of time with her, but it's still not the same. Splashpaw's heart longs for the closeness they had as apprentices.

WARRIORHOOD
FINALLY, it felt like moons since they'd been together. But by now the two were inseparable, almost as if their relationship had become more than friendship. Skywind even asked if they were together, together. Splashmist's reply was silence. She loved Blossomtalon, but her heart was coming to terms with it. She didn't know if Blossomtalon loved her back or if it would be better for them to just be friends. She definitely didn't want to lose the strongwilled molly, so she has kept quiet, simply enjoying the company of her friend.

When Yellowstrike became deputy it shocked the clan. Although, Splashmist wasn't really Surprised. He was a trustworthy cat who was reliable and loyal, and she could see that he cared very much for his clan. Even if he was a bit of an odd choice. Blossomtalon, however, took the news a little bit differently, and Splashmist couldn't tell if she was happy about it or not, although she suspected the latter.

But his deputyship didn't last very long as the fight with Windclan killed Whitestar, their leader, and Yellowstrike became Yellowstar. Currently it's been interesting for Splashmist. In the battle with Windclan, she received a large gash along her chest. She survived, thankfully, but she's noticed that Blossomtalon hasn't left her side since then. And Splashmist thinks it's adorable for the strongwilled she-cat to be so protective of her.
