** ONE THAT YOU CANNOT HEAR ANYWHERE ELSE **
name: tuftkit, tuftpaw, tuftfeather
clan:treeclan cloudclan
gender: female
rank: apprentice
pelt: dark grey, lighter grey tabby stripes. white paws, tail tip, and nose bridge.
eyes: green
voice:alexa vega shilo - repo! the genetic opera
build: skinny, and not entirely well muscled. rather small, but with the proportions of a taller cat
other:
life:
tuftkit was born in some sort of 'accident' between Greenflare and Littlepool. her mother was often busy with queen duties, so greenflare took a rather large role in raising tuftpaw. daughter and father bonded extremely tightly. he would often visit her daily, bringing her bits and bobs to eat or play with whenever he came. while the relationship between the two sounds perfect there was one thing -- her father kept her from going outside.
you see, at the time of her birth, greenflare was mated to Speckledleaf. protecting both his mate and his kit required turning poor tuftkit into rather a shut-in. whether it was because of this, a complete coincidence, or even just a bad mix of genetics the kitten was sickly and frail. she missed out on a lot of growth because of this, both muscular and stature-wise, but not enough to be a determent to her later in life. she played with her half sibling, such as Creeksong ,(who was a newly made apprentice at the time) but never really made any friends.
shortly before becoming an apprentice, a struggling tuftkit was carried out of the nursery by Duskfall (the unofficial mate and ally to her uncle, @dustflicker/her brother's rival), and plopped in front of where her father and his mate were conversing. this is how she met the she-cat, who scared her half to death with her anger at her father. her own mixed emotions took a while to sort through, but it ended up not straining her bond with her father.
her aunt, finchsong (formerly rped by @maplefrost), was appointed her mentor when she became an apprentice. they didn't do any training together, however, because she went missing for mysterious reasons and never showed up again. after this, greenflare was appointed her mentor, a thing that didn't last very long because of a message from cloudclan. she was to represent treeclan, along with Cherryleaf (another young apprentice), in what was being called the "hunger games."
this news left tuftpaw rather shell-shocked and subdued. the somewhat adventurous part of her personality was quickly wiped out, and it would be a while before it was returned. she bit her tongue while her father, aunt (Whitefire), and creekpaw fussed over her. the deputy (Koisplash), former queen Harrowingpride, and the medicine cat (Waspwing), were comforting to her in the way that they were quiet with their sympathies. she remains grateful for that. she made friends with cherrypaw, something she might not have done in another circumstance.
at some point, on the same day of that 'meeting', tuftpaw said goodbye to her father. after this, and a broken sleep in waspwing's den, she was 'ready' for the games. one more thing happened, however, just before the two young tributes left. tuftpaw and cherrypaw received their warrior names early. they became tuftfeather and cherryleaf. this last gesture was made in an attempt to get the two to have more honor, and provoke a general moral, as well as commemorate the two cats.the gesture was appreciated, but it did not have much of the desired effect on her.
as soon as all the tributes arrived at the games, they were greeted by a spirit and a wolf that chased them. tuftfeather started running right away, but she was small and not the speediest or the strongest. panicked, because she had lost cherryleaf in her mad dash, she started calling the cat's name. surprised that the tabby ran past her, across the thuderpath, she quickly followed. she was met with an impact of a car. it crushed the bottom portion on her lungs and ribcage, and broke the bottom half of her spine. cherryleaf, as well as a few of the other tributes, comforted her slightly in her last moments.
"You were the best warrior, tuftfeather..."
she was dead.
