NAME: Morningdapple (morningstar)
AGE: 30 Moons (death)
PREVIOUS AFFILIATION: Thunderclan
PREVIOUS RANK: Warrior (Deputy? Leader?)
APPEARANCE: LH chocolate tortie with high white and brilliant green eyes very muscular and wide set with long tendrils of orange, black, and white. The patches are rounded and dapple across her back, hips, shoulders, neck and head. Her paws are rounded and large with multicolored claws of black and white.
PERSONALITY: Morningdapple was a stoic faced and reserved cat who believed in action over words. Her blunt honesty often made diplomacy challenging but her sincerity and dedication earned her respect. She had a deep love for storytelling and listening to others' experiences, which gave her a strong understanding of her clanmates perspectives. Tirelessly hardworking, she pushed herself past her limits, often to the point of exhaustion or injury. Despite her intimidating exterior, she was a gentle, kind soul who thrived when helping others.
LIFE: She was a rock of a cat in life. Morningdapple carried the burdens of others willingly, never complaining, and found fulfillment in making herself useful. In harsher moons, she would often take on extra duties atop her own. Such as kitsitting, training, border patrols, or even nighttime scouting. It was difficult to get her to settle down and rest even when ill. Just to ease the weight on her Clanmates' shoulders. / If Morningdapple had been leader, her reign would have been marked by selflessness. She would have struggled with public speaking and relied heavily on her deputy to lead meetings. Preferring to focus on ceremonies and direct interactions with her Clanmates. Her leadership style would have centered on maintaining peace, ensuring her warriors respected boundaries, and punishing disobedience with additional labor or late-night duties. She would have spent her granted lives freely valuing the safety and security of her Clan above her own existence. Her newfound connection with Starclan would have been deeply personal and affirming, solidifying her resolve to give all she had to protect her loved ones.
DEATH: Her friend's kits were due to earn their new names and midway into the ceremony a panic broke out across the camp. A large dog had broken loose from their two legs while walking through the territory and rampaged into the clearing. Its beady eyes gunned for the smallest in their group as cats ran left and right. In a split-second decision, she had flung herself at the intruder to spare the lives of the apprentices. She went down screeching and clawing in her last moments and was able to save the cats she treasured most.
HAPPIEST MOMENT: When her friend named one of her kits after her. She had never felt more loved or more proud.
