Memorypool

Sometimes life seems to quiet into paralyzing silence
Like the moon is dark, meant to make me strong
Familiar breath of my old lies changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the peaceful by and by

Memorypool

† Skyclan † 20 Moons † Warrior † She-cat

†Left alone with only reflections of the memory

A sad and quiet little she-cat, Memorypool has had a hard life despite her young age. Over time her experiences have changed her from the once happy and carefree cat she was to a shell of her old self. She keeps to herself for the most part, not wanting much contact from others. This is for various reasons, all centering around preventing any pain, both her and theirs. She does talk to a few cats, those that have taken the time to break through some of the layers of her shell. Much patience is required to build up her confidence and trust in you.

She's a little bit skittish around new cats and can be very suspicious towards others at times. However she is a loyal cat with much pride for her clan. She would do anything to protect them for they have treated her well and taken her in as one of their own. Though she may seem like she exists on the fringes of her clan, they actually care for her deeply as she does for them.

†To face the ugly girl that's smothering me

Vibrant blue eyes and soft gray fur hide this damaged cat behind a pretty and soft exterior. Long fur cascades around her, somewhat fluffy but still smooth. Light gray makes up the bulk of her coloring, though it is marred by darker tabby markings as well as white mixing in with the gray. Her left back paw is white as is the tip of her tail.

A large cat though still slender and feminine looking, Memorypool can be quite intimidating at first glance. That is until you notice how she carries herself. Always treading lightly and with smooth yet nervous movements, any cat can see an air of timidness surrounding this cat.

Dark black markings beneath her eyes really bring the bright blue orbs to attention. Though bright and vibrant in color they are almost glass-like, showing something breakable in them. A pain hidden deep within can be seen reflected in her blue eyes.

†Sitting closer then my pain, he knew each tear before it came

Unlike most cats in her clan, she wasn't born into Skyclan. Rather, she was born in Shadowclan though after much pain and suffering she fled the clan for the mountains, trying to find a new home for herself.

Born to two Shadowclan warriors, her kithood seemed fairly normal in the beginning. She had two siblings, Black-kit and Opalkit. They all grew up normally until they were four moons old. During a rough reign of a power hungry leader, they were forced into an early apprenticeship, much like in the old days of Brokenstar's time. Black-kit, now Blackpaw, died young, forced to be killed by his own father for not being strong enough to keep up with the other 'apprentices'. It was not an easy choice for their father to make, but it was either one of the leader would kill his entire family and make him watch.

Moons passed and Memorypaw and Opalpaw remained strong, still apprentices but having survived the first few harsh moons of training when many perished. It was around this time that Memorypaw became interested in a young warrior, a tom by the name of Nightsnow. He too showed interest in her and they would often spend time training together. Opalpaw watched from the sidelines, slightly jealous of the attention her sister was getting when she was always considered the prettier of the two. She tried to be happy for Memorypaw but soon her jealousy grew and she became bitter towards the cat she was once closest too.

When Memorypaw and Nightsnow finally became mates Opalpaw flat out stopped talking to her sister. It saddened her to see Opalpaw so hurt and she desperately hoped that she too would find a mate that she could trust among the clan, a cat that was different from their cruel leader. When she was 12 moons she moved to the nursery, expecting a litter of Nightsnow's kits. Opalpaw grew to become a warrior, receiving the name of Opalflight.

Her kits were but a few days old when Opalflight struck, her jealousy at her sister's happiness finally brimming over into hatred toward her and her young. She wanted nothing more then to cause her pain. With the help of one other cat in the clan, Opalflight killed all the kits, while Memorypaw was helpless to do anything but watch. When Nightsnow returned her found a distraught and broken cat where his once strong mate was. Being told lies by the other cats, he blamed his kit's deaths on Memorypaw, leaving her alone to take Opalflight as his mate instead, saying that she would be strong enough to bear his kits and raise them to become strong warriors.

Turning to her parents for comfort, Memorypaw found that they too believed the lies spread about her. They looked down on her with cold eyes and turned their backs on her, disowning her as though she had never existed. She found the rest of her clan doing the same, her leader even taking away her name and forbidding any cat from so much as looking at her. She was forced to the outskirts of the clan, only getting scraps of rotten food here and there when no cat would eat them, yet forbidden from hunting for herself. Scarcely a moon had passed before she fled the territory, seeking someplace far from the any of the clans.

It was during her travels that she found a gorge far from the clans she knew. Tired and weary she took shelter here, her thin and ragged pelt showing her bones. Her fur was dull and unkept and her eyes dull. She was surprised to find herself surrounded by cats when she awoke, cats that followed the same traditions as the other clans. Taking her to their camp they nursed her back to help, giving her her name back and training her as one of their own. At first she was suspicious of them, but with time they became her new family, one she would protect with her life.

Sorrow lives through this night
I take this piece of you
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole

As you flew right through me
