Skyfur
Age: Forty Moons
Gender: She-cat
Clan: Shadowclan
Position: Elder (It gets explained)
Description:
Skyfur is a small she-cat who is quite thin. She doesn't weigh as much as she probably should but it isn't life threatening, though she is often pestered to eat more. Skyfur has a snowy white pelt. When she was younger it used to be well groomed and almost took the appearance of a cloud because it appeared so soft. Lately however, this isn't the case anymore. Skyfur tends to neglected to take care of herself forgetting to groom herself on a regular basis. On the days that she does remember her pelt looks just like it did when she was a young she-cat. Her eyes are a frosty blue. On her good days they are bright and intelligent on her off days which occur more often, her eyes are cloudy and glassy.
Personality:
Skyfur, to say the least, is not the same cat she once was. A once intelligent promising young warrior has become a confused she-cat who has a hard time differing the past from the present. Before Skyfur would always be visiting the medicine cat and the elders learning everything that she could from them before taking her teachings to outside Shadowclan's camp. She believed that just because she wasn't a medicine cat that didn't give her an excuse to not learn how plants and herbs could be helpful. Skyfur loved life and believed that something new came with every sunrise. She was and is a loving mother of her son Timberwolf and is proud of everything he has done. Nowadays, the before vibrant she-cat has turned into a shadow of her former self. At times she becomes confused as to what is the presence once believing that her son Timberwolf was a newborn kit and that he had wandered off. There are voices in her head whispering at her constantly. It comes to the point where Skyfur thinks that these voices are actual cats and she yells at them but to outsiders it appears she is yelling at no one. On her good days Skyfur returns to her old self, she's lucid but those days are becoming rarer.
History:
Skykit was raised in a loving manner. She wasn't indulged to the point that she was spoiled nor scolded on a daily basis. Her parents would tell her what was right and what was wrong so that she would never be confused. If she didn't something wrong she was scolded and told why what she did was bad. If Skykit did something positive she was praised. She loved visiting the elders and hearing the tales of when they were young. Sometimes she would even bother the leader and deputy to see what they could teach her. Skykit's parents were at first concerned about her overly curious nature but at their daughter grew they realized it wasn't just curiosity that drove Skykit, it was a thirst for knowledge and they were perfectly fine with that.
As an apprentice Skypaw would constantly practice everything that she learned over and over until she perfected it. That wasn't because she wanted to be a perfectionist but because she knew once she got one move down then she could learn a new one, something she always looked forward to. She voluntarily helped the medicine cat whenever help was needed as long as in return the medicine cat taught her about herbs. When asked why she wanted to know Skypaw answered that one shouldn't have to be a medicine cat in order to help a clanmate in danger. But she also wanted to know everything else and in a way she did learn almost all of it by the time she became a warrior.
For a while Skyfur remained the same when it came her wanting to learn. It changed when, well, when Skyfur fell in love. Her mind wasn't on knowledge for once and she was the happiest she had ever been when she spent time with her mate. When she found out that she was expecting kits, Skyfur felt that she was going to burst with joy. After the proper amount of moons passed Skyfur kitted her very first and only kit, Timberkit. He was perfect in her eyes but isn't that what all queens think?
As Timberkit grew Skyfur began to realize it wasn't just a queen's disillusioned view, Timberkit was special, he was perfect. He was just like her expect more. He already seemed to know so much even at his young age and his knowledge only seemed to grow with every passing day. Skyfur nurtured him making it her duty to not only be his mother but his teacher and mentor.
When Timberkit was about to become an apprentice Skyfur began to change. The voices in her head began. At first it was low whispers but soon they grew louder and louder. It got to the point where Skyfur thought that they were real and she began yelling at them. By this time the only one who noticed was Timberkit but he didn't say anythings, much to Skyfur's relief. However it seemed that Timberkit wasn't the only one to take notice, Skyfur's mate did too. He couldn't take it, he left her.
It got worse a few moons later, she couldn't tell the past apart from the present. She was caught wandering through camp calling out for Timberpaw or rather 'Timberkit'. After a few days observation the leader decided that it would be for the best if Skyfur was moved to the elders den, the day this was declared Skyfur was having one of her more lucid moments and though she argued against it Skyfur was put in the elders den.
The medicine cat has been trying to find something to make Skyfur better but has yet to do so. The only thing she looks forward to nowadays is when Timberwolf visits her everyday to tell her about his day. She calls them his adventures.
During her moments clarity Skyfur can't help but wounder what went wrong what did she do to deserve this?
