Gardeinaflower // The Late Blossom

[snowbella93]

Name: Gardeniaflower
Age: 35 Moons
Fur: Other
Eyes: Dark Blue
Gender: She-Cat
Allegiance: Autumclan
Appearance:

She is a very lovely lithe she-cat with a bright colored calico pelt over a finely tuned figure that sports very distinct and beautiful black and gold splotches over a pure untouched white. Her eyes are an almost perfect round shape with the deepest, darkest blue coloration you will ever see. Even though it's not a light ice blue, it'll still hypnotize you and stop you in your tracks. Her nose is also unusually bright pink, which is highlighted by the only scar she sports, which is just under her right eye.

Scarrs:

She only has one scar, which is a place where the claws of a rival Clan warrior ripped off the fur and flesh under her right eye, leaving only a dark pink color that will stay for the rest of her life.

Position: Deputy
Personality:

Gardeniaflower is a very gentle soul, softspoken and kindhearted to everyone she meets. She cares deeply for her Clan, and has no quarrels about laying her life down for her friends. However, she will not hesitate to strike another who threatenes her Clan, and can become quite fierce in battle. She is completely loyal to her leader, but tries to do what is right as well, even if it means going against her leader's words. She tries to follow the warrior code, but there have been times she she must go against it for the good of the Clan.

History:

She was born to the AutumnClan queen, Flowerscent, and was one of the only survivors out of five kits. The only other kit to survive was her sister, who was named Shadowkit, later to be called Shadowforce. Seeing her daughter's unique calico pelt, Flowerscent was going to name her Splashkit, but when she saw a pale golden gardenia flower growing outside the nursery, she had a feeling she had to name the kit Gardeniakit.

The kit's first few moons of life went on virtually without much excitement, and this continued to the day that both she and her sister were given the names Gardeniapaw and Shadowpaw. She stayed under the name of Gardeniapaw for about eight moons before she got caught in a battle with ViperClan, in which she would be given her scar by the claws of the ViperClan deputy at the time and gain her warrior name of Gardeniaflower. Things were peaceful for a time, and eventually Shadowpaw was given the name of Shadowforce after much training, much to the glee of her sister, but sadly, their mother was not there to witness it, having died of blackcough at least tow moons eariler.

More sorrow was to come, as well, for just a few moons later, the current deputy of AutumnClan, who was also Gardeniaflower's old mentor, was killed when she was caught offguard by a dog that had escaped the Twoleg Place while on patrol, which was one in which she had called her former apprentice to be upon as well. Out of sorrow for the loss of her former mentor and anger towards the dog who had taken her old mentor from her, Gardeniaflower led an attack on the dog to avenge the deputy, and eventually the cats on the patrol managed to chase the dog off.

When they returned to camp, they told the leader what had happened, and although there was sorrow, there was no time to morn, because now there had to be new deputy before moonhigh. In a twist of fate, the medicine cat had seen the blossom of the gardenia flower that grew outside the nursery as well, which had not bloomed since Gardeniaflower's birth. When he told the leader about this, the decision for the deputy was made; Gardeniaflower was to be the new deputy. Immediately after hearing this, Gardeniaflower openly objected, saying that another should be named deputy instead, but no change came. She now serves as deputy of AutumnClan, although she is still certain that she does not deserve the place.

RP Example:

It was something out of the ordinary, the flower which had been there at her birth suddenly blooming again after the death of the deputy, but while the medicine cat and leader might have thought it was some type of sign from StarClan, Gardeniaflower wasn't so sure. Why? Why would StarClan chose her to be the next leader of AutumnClan? She was not the best warrior in the Clan nor the smartest, so why would they want her to take the place of the beloved leader? Surely there must be someone who would be a better choice that StarClan would favor instead of her. Why was she the one chosen?

"Hey, there Gardeniaflower!" the familiar voice of her sister, Shadowforce, caught the calico's attention as her blue eyes turned back to view the black she-cat. "I still can't believe it, my sister, the Clan deputy!" the black she-cat mewed as she came up to stand beside her sister.

"Yeah, you and me both, sister." Gardeniaflower mewed lowly, a nervous look about her. As always, her sister noticed and had something to say about it.

"Oh, come on! Don't tell me you're nervous!" the black cat mewed sternly. "You'll make a great deputy! I know it, our friends know, heck, I think even mother and Heartsong knew it!" she meowed, keeping her sister in a stern glare.

The calico she-cat visibly flinched at the mention of their mother, Flowerscent, and her former mentor, Heartsong. "Please, don't mention them right now..." the she-cat mewed sadly, only to get swatted in the head by her sister.

"Don't act that way, you know I'm telling the truth!" Shadowforce growled. "And if I'm not, then may StarClan take me right now!" at this, she waited for a few moments before smiling to her sister. "I'm not gone, so it looks like I'm telling the truth. You'll do fine."
