GENERAL
Name: Firefly
Gender: She-cat
Age: 24 moons
Clan: Loner, former kittypet
Rank:
APPEARANCE
Body Type: Thin
Fur: Calico
Eyes: Depending on the lighting, an orange amber brown or a fresh spearmint green.
Markings: Calico markings
Overall: Firefly has a well trimmed frame that adds to her graceful, flowing gait. She has a long and thin white tipped tail, a white chest, and white front legs. Half of her rounded face is composed in darkness while the other half is a marmalade and a darker tabby striped caramel beauty. She just can't stand having a dirty coat, so she excessively grooms it. With all the time she spends on her coat, it is always short, silky, and manageable. Her eyes are very interesting indeed, they change from a soft amber brown to a piercing spearmint green, depending on the lighting and weather.
Firefly appears to be a ditzy kittypet, and in some cases she can be just that, but she lives the lonely life of a loner. She's always merciful and gives her sympathy to others less fortunate than her. However, there is more to her appearance than a peaceful cat.

HISTORY
Family: Mother: Ruby
Father: Unknown
Siblings: Sable, Millie, and Tiger
History: Firefly doesn't have much memories of her mother and definitely not her father. They were only there for her until she was old enough to leave them. She was bred by Twolegs and quickly sold to her Housefolk, for who knows how much, after she was old enough to eat cat food. Her Father was never really a big part in her life, he was always out and about, and never in the house. She played with her siblings and was only particularly close to her sister Sable, otherwise Tiger and Millie were gone before she knew it.
Firefly was brought to her new home and adapted immediately. She had forgotten all about her old nest, like it was just a dream. The calico was a lonely kittypet, yet pampered at the same time. She only had herself when her two Housefolk were away at work or not in the house. After about three moons of being with them, she was let outside for the first time. She found the outside world entertaining but also a place of danger, so she preferred staying in the nest most of the time. Firefly was beginning to lose track of how many moons she had spent with her Twolegs when a large white sign was put up in the front yard of their territory. Dozens of big brown boxes were suddenly in her nest and soon enough the house was emptied of everything she knew and loved. But, the most shocking of all was yet to come. One of her Housefolk came back into the house looking for her, and scooped her up. They stroked her, and loved on her and gently set her down in the grass. Both of them left in a flash and the only thing they left were Firefly's food and water bowl outside on the front porch. She waited on the porch for days, she had drank all the water and eaten all the food when she finally established that they were never coming back. That's when she left the nest, to never return.
RP SAMPLE
It was a chilly night with heavy breezes here and there. Elkstar was ready for the Gathering, her pelt was groomed spotless, her stomach filled -- maybe not so much -- with a scrawny mouse. Everything was in order.
Once Thunderclan reached the hill before Fourtrees she stopped and turned to her Clanmates.
"I don't want anyone to speak of Thunderclan in a way that could be risky for us. Do not show any weaknesses, only strength. Deceive them if you must," and with that Elkstar flicked her tail and continued to trot down the slope. She could scent Shadowclan and Riverclan in the protection of Fourtrees. Thunderclan was late but Elkstar tried to think of it as her superiority was letting her be late. She and her Clanmates emerged from between Thunderclan's healthy tree and Windclan's dying tree. Every gaze bore into her with the heat of Greenleaf. All she did was raise her chin and fluff out her fur to make herself look more of a threat. The whispers continued as old friends caught up with each other. Elkstar reached the Great Rock and launched herself onto it with ease. She loved showing off her abilities to the other Clans, and she was sure that the expression she was wearing had a trace of smugness.
"Willowstar, Rookstar," she said their names as a greeting and sat beside Rookstar. Oddly enough Elkstar liked Willowstar and Rookstar and was was grateful that she had been born in this generation.
"Willowstar, would you like to start?" she questioned Shadowclan's Leader and hoped she would accept the invitation. Elkstar wrapped her fluffy tail around her paws to keep them warm as she waited for an answer. Meanwhile, tried to make eye contact with all her Clanmates, especially the apprentices. She wanted to make sure they understood not to say anything that could be hazardous. Although the Gathering had already begun and all the cats were silent she knew a few apprentices would still be whispering.
