Kitty trying out for: myo #892Prompt:Anti-Hero - Taylor SwiftDappledstep was found at the entrance of ValleyClan camp by a dawn patrol heading out. She was a young kit at the time, no older than a moon, and she reeked of a mixture of one of the surrounding clans, and of kittypet. The assumption was that she was the result of a forbidden romance, however, she was taken into the camp regardless, and raised alongside another litter. The clan refused to allow a helpless kit fend for itself at such a young age.
As Dappledkit grew older, she began to notice the strange glances she recieved, and, at times, she could overhear other cats whispering about her. While the odd treatment certainly did get to her, her adoptive queen helped keep Dappledkit's head up. When Dappledpaw was apprenticed, there was quite a bit of a commotion at her apprentice ceremony. During the ordeal, her soon-to-be mentor had yowled:
"Are we actually going to train her? What if she turns against us? She doesn't even have ValleyClan blood!". The feline who'd spoken up was punished accordingly, and Dappledpaw was apprenticed under AlderStar herself, and yet, that moment seemed to permanantly engrave itself into Dappledstep's mind. From that dreadful moment on, Dappledpaw decided that if her clan saw her as malicious, that's just what she'd be.
In current time, Dappledstep nearly constantly acts as a menace, but in small, mostly harmless ways. She'll step on a clanmate's fresh kill as she walks by, or maybe she'll shake water on any unsuspecting clanmates as she brings water to the elders. All of her small acts of "malice" only add fuel to the nearly clan-wide dislike of her, and yet she refuses to stop. She's kept in the clan because Alderstar has faith that she can change, but Dappledstep hasn't shown any desire to show kindness to her clanmates. They never did for her, after all.

Kitty trying out for: #1313Prompt:If Rainwhisker could be any other creature for a day, he'd choose to be a little sparrow. He would love to soar through the open skies and fill the quiet morning with his song. At times, the weight of being a warrior can be a bit much, and flying away for a day as a beautiful, free sparrow sounds ever so appealing to Rainwhisker. There are times when he sits outside of camp at sunrise, just listening to the birds and the wonderful songs they create. Oh, to be a sparrow.

Cat Name: Greytail
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Clan: ValleyClanAge: 4 years
Kitty trying out for: #1312Prompt:Greytail recalls the moment he got his scar well, and smiles back on the memory. He had just been returning from a border patrol when he heard the familiar screeching of a hawk, and it was only seconds afterwards that he saw the beast arising from camp. In its talons it held a squirming, wailing kit. Greytail acted without even thinking: he immediately clawed his way up into the nearest tree, just in time to leap out and latch onto the the ferocious bird of prey mid-flight. Graytail had one set of claws attatched to the bird's torso, while the other was dug into one of its wings. The hawk put up quite a struggle to remain in flight, but despite its best efforts, the three intertwined creatures were steadily approaching the ground. In the hawk's desperate struggle, it was able to slash a talon right across Greytail's shoulders. The three of them hit the ground with quite an impact, but luckily, the kit, still in the hawk's grasp, hadn't made impact with the ground. As soon as the animal was grounded, the rest of the patrol, along with some warriors who had seen the poor kit get abducted, were surrounding the beast, lashing at it, biting it, and helping to free the kit. Greytail saved a life that day, and he'd never take it back, not for a moment.
