Who Firelight Is
appearance
firelight is very slender and petite in width, but very tall as her legs exceed average length. she's lanky, and thus it wasn't difficult for her to adapt to the running skills that most fireclan cats are born with. in addition, her fur is very thick, tufting up especially at the ears, a trait passed down from her iceclan heritage, which causes a struggle in the fiery greenleafs in her clan. (in her youth this fur was sleek and beautiful, though these days she hasn't been keeping up with grooming, so it is matted and unkempt at best. regarding color, she is nearly wholly a charcoal black, save for the left half of her face, which is engulfed in white. her eyes are a glittery yellow.
personality
in her youth, firelight was an idealist, an optimist, and always ready for a challenge. she was aggressive, true, but only hungered for something new to stimulate her mind each and every day. she was proud, having earned her keep in fireclan and made for an excellent warrior, particularly in her senior days. now, firelight is.. well.. a typical elder. she's grumbly, and hates the very thought of company, save for a few select cats. having seen her fair share of wars and experienced nearly all there is to experience, she likes to be left alone, and to ponder whether or not she had seen everything she had wanted to see, or done everything she could have wanted to do, in her lifetime. still possessing her arrogant and aggressive traits, though, you can't call her quite feeble, yet. or at least, she won't admit that she's not every bit as capable as she was in her earlier years.
History
let's get down to business
It's hard to put a finger on what happened exactly when and where in Firelight's life. But I guess we should start as far back as I (I mean, as far as Firelight) can remember. The elder was born in IceClan to Wildheart and Venomstar (his only known kitten along with Windflurry), and was later dropped off (for unknown reasons) at the FireClan border. She grew into a fine apprentice, mentored by Shadowwing, who later joined her in the elder's den, excelling in combat, but struggling in hunting.
As a warrior, Firelight was the first to participate in as many raids, battles, and wars as she could, the fire of her hunger for battle always kindling and rekindling. She had few desires for romances- they only ever always seemed to hinder her success, but eventually settled down with Flamewatcher, who had trained alongside her as an apprentice and had been a kithood friend. He disappeared for unknown reasons a few moons following. She later had relations with Beechstar, producing her one and only daughter, Snowflare, who is now one of the three FireClan queens. (Though nobody would necessarily guess on first sight that they were related, Snowflare being short, with munchkin cat legs and long fur- she takes mostly after her father, I suppose.)
When the news arrived that her mother, Wildheart, was dying, Firelight sought permission to visit IceClan (one of many trips to her homeland that she would make in her time as a warrior and senior warrior). She arrived just as Wildheart was in her final stages of life, and the two made amends- Firelight for holding a grudge against her for so long and Wildheart for leaving her as a kitten. She never met her father.
And out of all the injuries and accidents Firelight endured, none was ever severe enough to put her in the elder's den- thus, she joined the elders (who died off one by one, leaving her as the only one to this day) of old age. There she hibernates, and seldom comes out to see her kin and clan, either out of grief or out of spite for those around her. Firelight shall go down in fame, she muses to herself, mother, grandmother to many, and kin to, well, most of the clans.

Plotting
If your character is related to Firelight, please let me know below so that I can add them to the list. I'm generally looking for immediate family, because it would be a waste of time to note every single second cousin once removed she has, but anything listed above (grandchildren, sisters, brothers, etc. would be great. Thanks!
If your character is associated with Firelight, please let me know so that I can add them, as well, to the list. It would just take up way too much time to go through all her threads and add all of the cats she's met in her lifetime. I will be adding all of these characters.
Wanna plot with Firelight? Let me know! I'm generally a lot more active now so I have time for whatever you have to throw at me, guys.
