Gleamingheart was born the first and largest of a litter of five, to parents who were both noted guards and the latest in a long line of such. Tragedy struck the large family often, however - two of the five were lost to sickness very early on in their lives, having been born frail. When she was a moon old, a third managed to wander too far from safety and was taken by an eagle. By the time she reached apprentice age it was only her and her sister, Burningpaw, left. The two were close as kits, but as their apprenticeships went on Burningpaw became disillusioned with the clan - and the looming assignment of mates once they grew older. Much of this started to color Gleamingpaw's view of the world as well, but while she kept her worries to herself one day she woke to find Burningpaw simply gone. Her own doubts never forced her to the same extremes as her sister, but as her apprenticeship came to an end and she found herself as a full guard {and growing ever nearer to being assigned a mate} she started wandering to the edges of the territory during any time she had free.
This led to one of the biggest mistakes of Gleamingheart's life - a brief fling with a much older loner that happened to be near the clan's borders who promised her a different life. Rook vanished as quickly as he came, but soon after she found herself pregnant - giving birth to two kits, Burningkit and Brightkit.
Brightkit, like two of Gleamingheart's own siblings before her, died of health complications soon after birth leaving her with only her son fighting the stigma of his heritage - though this was lessened by a friend of Gleamingheart's, a fighter by the name of Sandriver and the only cat to know the truth, stepping up and claiming to be the kits' father. Now instead of being half-blooded, the kit was simply the result of two young, foolish cats.

Between the events surrounding how they were conceived and the loss of Brightkit, the she-cat fell into a depression for much of Burningkit's kit-hood regardless of how supportive Sandriver tried to be. She started to come back to herself as Burningkit entered his own apprenticeship, giving him a gold bangle passed down to her from her father soon after. Only to be hit with the loss of her kit once again - losing Burningpaw to a snake's bite just as he was nearing the end of his apprenticeship. She still carries the sorrow of both her kits' loss - and the guilt of coming so close to abandoning her clan - to this day, hidden as it is. Though sometimes impulsive, Gleamingheart is intelligent and kindhearted, with a strong sense of justice despite all her faults and naivety as a younger cat. Her mistakes have led her to having very little confidence in herself however, and while openly quite friendly and easy to talk to she tends to keep her emotional distance out of fear of rejection and others learning her secret.
