names:
gender: she-cat
age: twenty moons
clan: riverclan
rank: warrior
personality:
This is a mostly quiet she-cat that you will probably come to respect. Even as a kit, she was never hyper, merely curious and wanting to learn. Shimmerlily is inquisitive, but not in an annoying way, and would do anything for RiverClan. However, she is not suspicious of strangers; in fact, she befriends them with her kind nature. Shimmerlily trusts almost every cat she sees, and that puts her in a bad position sometimes. She's never one to fight or pick a fight, and she's easy to get along with.
appearance:
Shimmerlily is a rather small cat, with long but always impeccably groomed fur and vividly hued ocean-blue eyes. Her pelt is a white-silver color, the shade of stars in a nighttime sky, speckled with caramel. A patch of ginger rings her dainty pink-colored nose. The young warrior's paws clash a bit with the rest of her body -- they are a darker palette, with grays and dark-browns swirling together in a pretty but strange cacophony. Shimmerlily's long whiskers and naturally solemn expression compliment the rest of her nicely. She is overall a dignified-looking she-cat: Shimmerlily carries herself maturely and intelligently for her age. She is not exactly gorgeous, but she is a quaint, tiny little warrior.
history:
[kit]
Shimmerkit was the older daughter of Flamepetal and Eagletalon. She had one younger brother, Hawkkit, but he died shortly after he was born, taken by illness. Shimmerkit doesn't remember him, and there is no gaping loss inside her, only a nagging what if. Flamepetal was saddened over Hawkkit's death, and blamed her surviving child for it. She was absent during most of Shimmerkit's life because of that. However, Eagletalon, the spitting image of Shimmerkit, loved his daughter and had high hopes for her. Shimmerkit adored her father and would do anything for him.
[apprentice]
Shimmerpaw was mentored by a fiesty, middle-aged warrior named Sugarsmile. Sugarsmile was the polar opposite of Shimmerpaw, personality-wise. (They looked alike, though, with their silvery pelts and such.) Shimmerpaw grew to like her mentor, despite her ways to act more immature than Shimmerpaw. Sugarsmile was a good teacher, however, and Shimmerpaw was happy to have her. Sugarsmile had a love for hunting, preferring it over battle training, and in turn Shimmerpaw excelled at her hunting and fishing but was only an average fighter. Near the end of Shimmerpaw's training, Flamepetal passed away. Now this did make Shimmerpaw feel a gaping loss for a few moons; she never really got to know her distant mother, who was always sad over Hawkkit's death. Eventually, the pain lessened, and Shimmerpaw finished her training a moon or two late, but became a warrior nonetheless.
[warrior]
Recently, Shimmerlily has been made a warrior. She aspires to become one of the most respected cats in RiverClan, and to make her family and mentor proud.
sample rp:
In Shimmerlily's dream, she was a kit again. Small and stumbling after something -- a flame-colored wisp; a fire? No. Shimmerlily ran as fast as her little kitten paws would allow. The bright ginger shape became more lucid. Her heart tightened. It was her mother. Flamepetal.[/font]
Shimmerlily swallowed hard. She tried to call out to her elusive maternal figure, but she did not reply, did not look back. She called louder...and this time the ginger cat looked back.
The emotion in her green eyes made Shimmerlily flinch. Anger. Rage. Hatred. All concentrated into two emerald orbs, fixed on her daughter...
"Mom," Shimmerlily whispered.
"It's your fault he's dead," was the cold reply. Then the fiery cat flickered, like fog, and disappeared, leaving Shimmerlily alone.
The silver warrior woke, adrenaline pumping in her bloodstream. It was very dark, probably a few hours after moonhigh. Her blue eyes were stretched wide; she looked frantically back and forth, searching...
...it had only been a dream. The realization made Shimmerlily more comforted, but saddened her too. The RiverClan cat had been having this dream since her mother died only a few moons ago, and the same epiphany she always got after she remembered that it was a dream made her heart squeeze with pain.
Flamepetal had hated her, but now she was dead. She had died hating her.
Cold seeped through the small RiverClan warrior's body, and not from the Leaf-fall weather. Shimmerlily closed her eyes fiercely, but she couldn't keep the rage in her mother's dark green gaze out of her head.
"I'm sorry!" The new warrior whispered. "So--so--sorry. Please stop--hurting--me." Her voice came out out clipped because of her stammer and the fear in her heart. "Please don't visit me anymore," she added more clearly, her voice choking. She curled into a fetal ball position and placed her tail over her eyes, trying to fall asleep again, but unfortunately sleep eluded her for the rest of the night.

[note: i took this bio from another site i'm in and tweaked it a bit. i noticed that many RPers do this; so i hope it's okay...if not, i can probably rewrite it. it won't make much a difference, though, the core main ideas -- like description and personality -- would stay the same either way.]
