A few people requested chimeras, and since this is probably what some meant..
Have a split-faced tortie! (This is not a chimera -- this is a natural tortie variation.)

Design this cat a scar, and explain how they earned that scar.
No lost ears/limbs/eyes. Ear nicks are allowed!

Back when things made sense to speckledfish there was a cat known as shadowfax. Shadowfax was a rouge who came to stay with the cats of roseclan for awhile. The stranger was to be a valuable asset for the clan because shadowfax knew where the enemy was hiding. The enemy came in the night, attacking cats and stealing kits from nursing mothers. No cat knew who or what it was that could sneak like the fog and do so much damage without being heard. Shadowfax had seen it though she knew what danger the cats were facing.

So they planned an attack. Shadowfax would lead them to the den and the clan cats would be hidding in the shadows until the enemy showed itself. Then they would fight to tbe death, it was too late to banish the creature from the land, it had already tasted feline blood.

Speckledfish was curious about the stranger, and honestly maybe she even felt a little crush. Regardless speckledfish watched shadowfax like a hawk watches a rabbit. It was a strange thing really, everything speckledfish did shadowfax seemed to mimic. Maybe she was trying to fit in with the other cats? Or perhaps she was mocking speckledfish. Speckledfish became paranoid of shadowfax trying to take over the clan. What were they hiding? Speckledfish tried to talk to her clanmates about her concerns but they would just roll their eyes and tell her to "stop playing games. Its serious business!" So as the time came closer to catching the monster speckledfish came up with her own plan. She had to find out what shadowfax was hiding.

On the night of the attack speckledfish followed shadowfax deep into the woods. She finally decided to reveal herself to shadowfax when they were about to cross a stream. Speckledfish could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She felt faint too but her claws sunk into the log beneath her. Shadowfax turned as if she had known she was there the whole time.
"What do you want from us?" Speckledfish asked with a hint of a snarl. Shadowfax blinked not replying. The cat hardly ever spoke out loud. Speckledfish had had enough of shadowfax's mind games. She leaped into the air barely an inch from where shadowfax stood. She swipped, claws unsheathed.
Left.
Right.
Shadowfax dodged all her attacks. Speckledfish growled in frustration.
"Coward!" She hissed again leaping at the cat. This time she felt fur tearing from skin and the warm gush of blood dripping on her paws. Speckledfish looked around triumphantly only to catch her reflection in the water below. A long gash had appeared on her neck going down to her chest. Speckledfish was confused. Where was shadowfax? She looked at the water again and this time she saw the cat she was looking for. Shadowfax. But how could it be? She starred for a long while trying to decifer what she was seeing. Shadowfax had the same devastating wound as her. The reflection spoke to her
"You cannot kill me. I am a part of you. You cannot live without me no matter how hard you try. Im the one who has kept us alive! The saddest part is you dont even realize we are the ones who killed those cats and stole the kittens." Speckledfish shut her eyes tightly. Its all a bad dream. But when she opened her eyes all she could see was the lifeless bodies of three tiny kits in the water. Their soft fur waving with the tide. They reminded her of someone she knew...they looked a little like her. No they look like wolftooth, her mate. Speckledfish stood on the log her legs shaking and eyes cold and staring.

She killed her own kits. Speckledfish had no idea at the time but the scar isnt from her own claws but actaully à sharp part of the log cut her when she was fighting. Now she had a scar to remind her of her other side. Her dark side.

Cat Name: Sproutseek
Gender: Female
Rank: Warrior
Clan: Brightclan
Age: 31 months
Prompt: Sproutseek has two small nicks in her right ear and a short gash scar above her eye as well. If you ask her, she will likely avoid the question, or mutter something vague about a fight, but her mentor was so enamored with the comical story every cat in the clan at least heard it twice from him: It was the day of her first hunting assessment, and her mentor, satisfied with her skill decided to take his sweet time trailing behind Sproutseek (Sproutpaw at the time.) The first thought that perhaps this was a mistake came to him after a familiar yowl pierced through the forest. He barely had time to catch a running stride before Sproutseek came into view. She was sprinting in an erratic zigzag towards her mentor, her face obscured by a large, furry, mass. Apparently, she had come face to... well, claw with an exceptionally fat rat. Her mentor was able to quickly peel the animal away after the admittedly long process of catching up with his apprentice's panicked fleeing pattern. The rat scurried away with minimal injury, leaving the two cats to catch their breath.
Sproutseek broke the silence, "why didn't you tell me mice could be so dangerous!?"

Cat Name: Speckledpaw (Speckledleaf)
Gender: Female
Rank: Medicine cat apprentice
Clan: Duskclan
Age: 13 moons
Prompt: Speckledpaw has a scar on her front left toe from when she clawed at a tree branch in anger, but then it decided to attack back. A bit of the branch was cut from her claws, making it sharp. It dug into her toe and left a permanent scar that will always remind her to never lash out in anger, or there may be consequences.

"This is silly, why can't they do anything for once?" Speckledleaf spat in anger, pacing in a small clearing in the forest, away from the rest of the camp. She wasn't too fond of her mentor ordering her around all the time when it seems they barely ever do anything but give orders.
She paces some more, hair on end out of anger and spite for the medicine cat.
Her gaze locks onto a low hanging branch and she gets an idea.
She pounces at the branch, clawing at it with her front left paw, little did she know that she would come to regret it.
"Ouch!" she yowls in pain, looking down at her paw.
The once brown fur, now stained in a scarlet red liquid.
She widens her eyes, shocked, before turning to look at the branch more closely.
It seems a bit of it was sharp, the part she had managed to catch her paw on and leave a permanent scar.
She returned back to camp, wincing with each step she took on the paw, hoping the medicine cat could heal it.

cat name: gorsebriar

rank: warrior
clan: the group of day and night
age: very young
prompt: gorsepaw was hit with a sudden boost of confidence as he leapt up onto the fox's back. he dug his hind claws into the thick red fur of the fox, unsheathing the thorn-sharp claws on his front paws. satisfaction fueled gorsepaw as he tore through the skin of the fox's back, scarlet liquid staining the fur on his paws. suddenly, he felt a shift of wait on the fox as it tried to buck him off. it rolled over, crushing gorsepaw as it let out a bark of pride and leapt off, snarling. stunned, gorsepaw stayed where he was, his vision hazy. the fox pinned him down and slashed it's claws across gorsepaw's forelegs.
gorsebriar doesn't remember the rest of the story, but the medicine cat, robinsong, says that he passed out and warriors came to his rescue. his warrior ceremony was delayed by a moon for being so foolish as to take an adult fox on his own.

"let that be a lesson to young, foolish apprentices who think it'll be fun to go on an adventure!" he says.

{his scar(s) are long, deep scores across his forelegs.}
