Personality: A life of distrustful looks from her superstitious peers has made this young feline defensive and short-tempered. Sootcloud's often very blunt, sarcastic, and sharp tongued to all around her, taking bitter satisfaction in hurting the feelings of those that hold doubts about her. But it fills her with guilt and shame even more. She used to be a brave, selfless type of cat. Someone that wanted to protect her clanmates with all her heart! But there's only so much one being can take before they begin to crack, and now she keeps her walls up against nearly everyone. The only time she can really relax is when she's around those she loves and trusts, like her brother.
Sexuality: Heterosexual

History: ~Kithood was fairly normal, having grown up being a rambunctious and fun loving kit that spent her days playing with her littermate, Silverstar, and getting into mischief.
~Her mentor, Ravencry, was an old, mean warrior that viewed having her as an apprentice as a curse. He did what he could to keep her separated from her loved ones, deeming her an risk to the others. He made her life as hard as possible, was quick to blame her for things she had no control of, constantly dragged her name through the mud when gossiping, and keeping her from her brother as much as he could. Sootpaw tried so hard to prove him wrong. She tried to show everyone that she was just as good and loyal as the rest, desperately grasping for anyone that might believe her. But in the end she just
couldn't. Ravencry pushed her down so low nearly everyone met her words with doubt. Sootpaw was on her own, and she struggled so much with Ravencry as her mentor that she actually had to get her warrior ceremony postponed for 2 extra moons. This put even more distance between Sootpaw and her beloved brother, the only cat that still believed in her.
~When Sootcloud finally received her warrior name she almost sobbed with relief. She was finally free of her mentor. But her second blessing chased that small happiness away, leaving her bitter with the realization that the spirits just gave her clanmates a whole other reason not to trust her. But now that she had a bit more freedom, the young feline was able to hang out with Silverstar more, and his presence stopped her from going to far down the rabbit hole.

Other: ·Both parts of her name are based on appearance, but it could be debated that her suffix is also hinting at her first blessing.
·The death of Ravencry came as a relief to her, and she refuses to feel guilty about it.
·Silverstar is the cat she trusts most, and holds no resentment towards him for not being able to save her from Ravencry, and can be extremely protective of him.
·She actively tries to be kind to Tigerstorm when interacting with him, as she knows what it feels like to have the clan against you.
·If she ever had an apprentice she'd try to be as patient and helpful as possible, so as to be nothing like her former mentor.
·She often thinks of leaving and living a peaceful way far away from watchful eyes.
