xXUnique quirk: Mapleshine cannot lie. Doesn’t matter if it’s over the stupidest, smallest thing. Whenever she lies her ears will start to twitch until she fesses up the truth. Makes for keeping her crush or secrets rather difficult. (36/100 words)
Past memory that changed their life: Mapleshine wasn’t born in the clan. Like many other cats in PikeClan, she was born outside of it. As a rogue. It was her, her brother, and their mother. They never got the chance to meet their father, nor hear much other then he was a disgraceful tom-cat. Although, that was a compliment coming from their mother. The day she remembers so grately was the day she joined the clan. Well, the events that happened before she joined the clan. It was a cool morning, a chill wind racing though the air. Mapleshine (Mable at the time) was playing with her brother, Bastien (Sebastian).
”Just what are you two doing?!” a sharp voice snarled through the crisp air. Both kits froze and turned towards the dark hold in the ground where a pale ginger she-cat walked out of, her orange eyes ablaze with fury as she looked at her two kits. Quickly Mable and her brother sat down, heads hung low to the ground.
”Sorry mom...” the two mewed in unison.
”WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT CALLING ME THAT?!” Snapped the pale ginger queen, fur bristling instantly.
Madame wouldn’t have me because I got pregnant. Said it wasn’t ladylike for her Madeline to get wound up with some stray. Oh how I should’ve listened.” Madeline went on, before Mable chimes in
”So...mama, do you wish you’d never had us?” without responding Madeline turned on her. A darkness came in her eyes that one had never seen. She came upon Mable, claws unsheathed and brought a paw hard across the young caliby’s face, sending her tumbling. This wasn’t the first time. It’s how she acquired her quirk. Anytime she’d lie, even about the smallest thing, her mother would show no mercy. Eventually her ears just started to twitch whenever she’d lie. This time was different though. Sebastian stepped in between Mable and Madeline to intervene with Mables punishments.
”Leave Mable alone! She didn’t do anything wrong!” Sebastian yowled.
”Fine, you want me to leave her alone?” Madeline snarled before walking past Sebastian, grabbing Mable and tossing her into the river.
Whatever happened afterwards, was all a blur, Mable tumbled down the river, before being washed down a stream vining off of the river. She must’ve blacked out afterwards because when she woke she found a crowd of cats all with worried looks on their faces. She wasn’t asked many questions before being carefully picked up and brought to a weird den with weird smells. When she fully came to she jumped to her paws when she saw a paw come towards her face, before curling herself in a defensive ball. The medicine cat quickly took a step back and calmly introduced themselves and explained that they weren’t going to hurt them, they just wanted to know how they got hurt.
”I-I don’t know...” Mable mewed quietly, her ears starting to twitch like crazy, and she flinched expecting to be hurt.
”Your mother did this to you...didn’t she?” the medicine cat asked slowly before curling herself around Mable.
”it’s okay. You’re safe here. We’ll protect you.” it was then that Mable realized that not every cat was mean and showed disdain to younger kits. (533/800 words)
Extra: Mapleshine is rather shy and kind of keeps to herself due to how her mother treated her for the first few moons of her life. It’s made her afraid to do things wrong, as even though she knows that PikeClan doesn’t punish with violence, she still can’t help but to flinch every time she feels she screwed up. (58/200 words)
