Image/Description: The lightest coloured one here. She's blind in her left eye, and by the time she gets to Warrior age she's already riddled with scars.
Name: Emberkit/Ember
Gender: Female
Clan: FoxClan/Loner
Rank: Kit/Loner
Personality/Skills: After her mother died in the Skyfall (when twolegs dropped bombs on their city and its surrounding area to stop the spread of some kind of epidemic), she climbed out of the bunker that the Clan had been hiding to see if she was still alive. After seeing the bodies of most of her Clan-mates, and because she was already disoriented by the smoke and debris, she panicked and ran into the city. There, she was attacked and almost eaten by a street cat, until a loner named Xander saved her life. He trained her to hunt and fight, and raised her with a very "kill or be killed" attitude. She would regularly start fights on purpose, to just practice her combat. She goes from being a sweet, spunky kit, to an intelligent, somewhat callous, and extremely truculent loner. She does retain some of the sweetness though, especially towards her street cat mentor.
After her brother follows a series of dreams to find her, he is shocked by what he finds. He was told that she would be the next, rightful leader of the Clan, but what he finds is a cat who is totally unsuited to Clan life. She practically scoffs at the idea, and assumes that he is crazy.
Important Notes: Nothing I can think of?
What's up, man?! The CYOA's been cancelled (second one, anyway), but I currently have a
Let's Read going on that's updating later today.
And, at your request, I'll just stick with a character review.
Also... "truculent".
Nice word.
Character Assessment: My first question is how old she was when she ran into the city. Kittens stop needing to nurse at around 2-3 months old, and in the warrior world, 6 months is when a cat is eligible to become an apprentice. Given that she was raised without any apparent issues by a tom (plus was small enough to be considered a meal for another cat), I will guess that she was around 4 months old at the time. Any earlier than that and I'd definitely recommend aging her. If she's around that age, though, then I can see this backstory working.
Also, if the city was bombed, how are cats alive? Given that the surrounding area was bombed as well, and the Clan (who was a distance form the city) was nearly entirely destroyed, I can't really see how there would be anyone alive to mentor her afterwards.
Her personality is just fine, but those questions ought to be answered.
Character Suggestions: Address those two things up there.
