NAME: Redfern
Appearance: Redfern is a rather plain red tabby she-cat. Her fur is a shaded mix of red and orange that varies between dried-blood red and sunset-orange. The stripes that overlay her fur are rather thick and cover the majority of her head, back, outer legs and tail. Her underbelly, muzzle and the inside of her legs however is a dusty white, rather than pure white. Her eyes are a very warm, lighter brown. However, they tend to naturally darken as they move out from her pupil, and are a much darker brown around the rims of her eyes. Redfern is a rather lean and tall she-cat, this body form showing her Fireclan heritage. She has short, cropped fur and larger ears that taper to a point. Her bone structure also is quite sharp, giving her face a defined nature. She has long legs, while her time in Rockclan has given her definitive muscle around her hindquarters and shoulders, making her an adept jumper. In terms of scars, Redfern's left ear has a nick in it from a previous fight with her clanmates. She also has a scar on her left haunch. Personality:
History: Iceshard and Firetail met as apprentices in Iceclan, and quickly became close friends. Friendship led to love, and when it was doubted due to their young age, the two made a pact and ran away together. Living as loners, they gave each other the unofficial warrior names of Iceshard and Firetail. Moons later, three kits were born to them. Missing the clan they had grown up in, they gave their three daughters clan names. Dawnkit and Moonkit resembled the snowy pelt of their mother, while Redkit was the only one to inherit her father's red pelt. The two silver kits were placed on the Treeclan border, while Redkit was placed on the border of Fireclan. All three kits were later picked up by their respective clans, and grew up without seeing each other for a long time. In Fireclan, Redkit was welcomed quickly. She met Badgerkit and Nightkit, and the two toms quickly became her friends. On one occasion during a raid on Fireclan, she was picked up by a hostile warrior and very nearly kidnapped. If it hadn't been for Darkstar, she may have grown up an Iceclan cat, and that action may have very nearly started a war. As an apprentice Redpaw met two very important kits, Spottedkit and Willowkit. The three became best friends, and Redpaw often found herself in the nursery visiting them. Her mentor was Icefang, a funny and ridiculous tom, yet the best trainer she could ask for. Her relationship with Badgerpaw was growing, and Redpaw found herself developing a crush on him. At the same time, Nightpaw was falling for her. It was around this time in her tenth moon that Fear arrived in the Fireclan camp. Bloodflame of Fireclan had died before Redkit had joined, but she still knew the story of how he and his mate Peachwing had saved the clans. She watched from the mouth of the apprentice den as Fear arrived in camp and introduced himself as the long-lost brother of Bloodflame, and asked to join. Redpaw didn't see a reason to refuse the brother of a hero, but Darkstar kicked him out anyway. Not seeing the justice in the quick sentence, Redpaw opted to follow the strangely coloured red and black tom as he left. Indeed, she followed him all the way out of clan territory and to his den in the loner territory. No surprise he was shocked to see her, but after introducing herself the two had a friendly chat, and when she had to leave Redpaw promised she'd be back. From then on her life was split between the clan and visiting Fear, who quickly became her best friend. After an incident when Fear fell off a cliff and almost died, saved only by Redpaw's company and the knowledge of a stranger Cloud, did the apprentice realized that she loved the loner. It was decided that once she became a warrior, she would leave the clan to stay with him. Fear didn't approve. When Redpaw became Redfern he begged her to stay with the clan he couldn't live with. For a time, Redfern obliged and went on to train her old friend Spottedpaw into Spottedcloud, and then a strange tom named Nightpaw into Nightsky. Throughout this time she continued to visit Fear, and on one occasion she was caught by none other than her old crush Badgerfur. The tom informed Darkstar of what she had been doing, and Redfern was faced with the choice of either leaving Fireclan, or never seeing Fear again. Even though Nightflare, the tom that loved her begged her to stay, along with Spottedcloud and Willowbreeze, Redfern left and joined Fear. For many moons they lived together happily. Like his brother Fear was plagued with nightmares of Bloodstar, and feared that one day he would come to kill Redfern, but she always calmed his fears and assured him that she trusted him. It did little to help, but eventually the nightmares stopped on their own. A few moons later they became mates, and a kit was born to them, and they gave it a clan name Sparrowkit. Wanting a better life for her daughter, just as her own parents had, Redfern took Sparrowkit to the Fireclan border and entrusted her to Spottedcloud and Willowbreeze. Sparrowkit grew up, and through coincidence met with Redfern several times in loner territory. The two became friends, but Redfern never revealed who she was. When Sparrowpaw became Sparrowfeather, she was told who her mother really was, and confronted Redfern angrily. Lashing out at her mother she tore Redfern's ear and left, and Redfern didn't see her again. She later found out that Sparrowfeather had become a queen. A while later Redfern and Fear adopted Angel and Sun, two cats who later went on to join clans all on their own. Angel became Angelfur, while Sun became Sunpaw and later died in a fox attack. A time later Redfern gave birth to Icekit, and left her on the Iceclan border. This time she met Leafsong, a she-cat she discovered to be her sister from a second litter of Iceshard and Firetail. Leaving Icekit with her, Redfern returned to Fear in sadness. Icekit later became Iceclaw. One day Fear came to her happy and with what he called 'good news'. He had been asked by the leader of Rockclan Venomstar to take on a warrior name and become their deputy. He was thrilled, after wanting to live in a clan all his life. Redfern was happy for him, but unsure where this left her, as she was certain Rockclan wouldn't accept a cat previously in Fireclan. Even so, Fear assured her that he wouldn't go without her, and the two traveled to Rockclan together. Fear became Redspirit in honor of her own name, and Redfern joined the clan beside him. Almost immediately she was given the apprentice Blizzardpaw, and soon later Amberpaw. Redspirit worked as deputy for a moon, before vanishing mysteriously and later being discovered dead. Redfern was heartbroken, and having no one left, decided to stay in the clan for Redspirit's sake. She watched Blizzardpaw become Blizzardwind and Amberpaw was named Amberglow. When Redspirit died Redfern had, had three kits at the time. Shadekit, Obsidiankit and Ratkit. While Obsidiankit and Ratkit stayed with her, an accident left Shadekit with Iceclan, and she grew up there. As it was, Ratkit and Obsidiankit grew up without knowing who their parents were either. When they became apprentices and Redspirit died, Redfern discovered that she was once again pregnant with their final litter of kits. Obsidianpaw became Obsidiansong and Ratpaw became Ratbite. She heard of Shadekit, who had become Shadefrost and named a queen. Eagerly she went to visit her daughter in Iceclan, but was attacked and driven away. After revealing her identity to her two other kits, Obsidiansong also attacked her, while Ratbite seemed fine. While pregnant, Redfern took on the apprentice Shimmerpaw, and while she was at first concerned that she'd have to leave the apprentice to have her kits, Shimmerpaw later disappeared. Redfern gave birth to Spiderkit and Lionkit and this time vowed to be a good mother to them. One day she took them for a walk out of camp and Lionkit was carried off by an eagle. She presumed him dead and was almost lost to grief, if it hadn't been for Spiderkit. When Spiderkit became Spiderpaw, Redfern gained the apprentice of Raccoonpaw, who later became Raccoontail. This was around the time that Spiderpaw was named a warrior as Spiderleaf. While her kits were growing up, Redfern had made herself a part of Rockclan. Venomstar had long since retired and been replaced by the tom Hawktalon, then Hawkstar. He was previously a Fireclan cat like her, and Redfern found comfort in his company. The two became friends. Around the same time she met Stagrunner, and after some time she began to fall for him. A moon later she stumbled across a tom, and rather than introduce themselves the two engaged in a mud-fight. She later discovered his name was Blazeheart. It was a few days later when she received the ex-rogue Skye as her next apprentice. A few nights later Redfern woke to find Stagrunner out of camp, standing over a cliff. The two talked for a time, and he confessed to her that he'd been having nightmares of a terrible flood. Around that time the cliff they were on began to collapse, and while Stagrunner escaped, Redfern was left hanging over the side of the cliff and slipping. That was when Hawkstar appeared, and while Redfern was busy making sarcastic comments at her friend, he pulled her up and saved her life. Skye disappeared alongside Stagrunner, and Redfern was left alone for a time. Her daughter Spiderleaf became a queen, and soon Redfern was being surrounded by grand-children, or at least ones she could give attention to. She was given two new apprentices, as the clan was now empty of warriors besides herself and the she-cat Nightsong. Mosspaw was an amusing she-cat who became Mosspath quickly, while Spiderpaw disappeared as well. Hawkstar retired and later disappeared into the territory. Her new leader Cloverstar seemed dependable, but she knew little about her or their deputy Flamepath. What she did know, she had little trust in, as Cloverstar lost both a life and a kit to the Deathclan attack. Redfern herself didn't fight, and she regrets it. Deathclan moved in a few weeks later, angering Redfern. Rockclan was growing though, and she received her grandson Flashingpaw as an apprentice. A few days later, Hawktalon reappeared and emotions that Redfern once felt resurfaced, though she knows there is no time or place for such things now. While she confronted the ex-leader, the Deathclan cat Onyx similarly appeared and began to run his mouth. It didn't go so well, with her trying to catch her friend up and Onyx being the same obnoxious idiot he always was. Eventually she managed to get her story across, and while Hawktalon wasn't pleased, she had made him understand. Flashingpaw's first training session was the same as many others. Nothing of particular interest happened, and Redfern returned to camp both tired and rejuvenated. She ran into her daughter Spiderleaf the next day, which produced a relatively interesting conversation. She hadn't realized the depths to which Spiderleaf distrusted her, and the sad thing was Redfern couldn't even blame her. The topic of Lionkit had been painful, and Redfern had reacted in anger. The two had argued and both had left in irritation. One day Redfern hopes to repair the relationship. She wants at least one kit that cares for her. Deathclan were finally chased out, and Redfern was left in camp while Spiderleaf went off alone. She was fuming with her daughter, but equally proud when the queen returned with the captured Dogkit. The after-effects of Deathclan's rule hit Rockclan hard, Redfern most of all. There was an incredible shortage of warriors and Redfern was left with three apprentices. She'd had the same amount before, but it was still stressful. It was easier when Flashingpaw left for a time, though she was still worried for her first apprentice. The attempted training session with her daughter was a disaster. While normally Redfern knew she'd be able to handle six apprentices, the presence of Soldier the ex-rogue, someone Redfern had previously considered to be a friend, made things difficult. Redfern was filled with doubts and questions. She no longer believed that Soldier was fit to be a warrior of anything, and resolved to talk to Cloverstar. Flashingpaw finally returned, under the new name of Pumpkinpaw. Redfern didn't question what the tom had been up to, merely helped to finally prepared him for his warrior ceremony. As a favor to her daughter a short time after she took on the apprentice Raggedpaw. Really it was only because Rockclan was so desperate for new warriors. She didn't like the flippant tom much at all. Eventually Pumpkinpaw became Pumpkinseed and Raggedpaw became Raggedwolf. Around the same time she discovered her last son, Lionkit, had somehow survived. He returned to the clan under the name Jolly, and with a mate named Lyricwhisper. The two were former Deathclan elites that had been kicked out for betraying Drought and helping the clans. Redfern was overjoyed to see her son alive, but wasn't sure if she trusted him. Jolly soon took on the warrior name Jollyberry. Leafbare hit and both Cloverstar and Flamepath disappeared from the clan. Slowly Redfern began taking on more of their more important duties, mainly ceremonies. As more time passed and her clan dwindled, Redfern elected herself the new deputy. She was concerned that there would be some who argued against her decision, but her only thought was to take care of Rockclan.
