Backstory
Emberpaw had a happy enough kithood with her family. She had a few encounters with dangerous cats but her apprenticeship had been rather sheltered. However, when she was 8 moons old, her father died. While her littermates, equally as distraught, began acting out, Emberpaw locked the painful emotions away in her mind and forced a positive attitude. It was like she did not even acknowledge his death. She would even sometimes speak of him like he was still alive. But the longer she keeps the feelings in, the more irritable and distraught she has grown. Her bond with her siblings has greatly strengthened but they are toxic around each other.
Appearance

Interpersonal Connections
Father:
- ♂ Greyfrost (@Radler) Emberpaw cared for her father and was upset when he died, but chose instead to forget about his presence, or sudden lack of, in her life.
- ♀ Sparrowflight (@Twilight01) Emberpaw cares for her mother but they aren't particularly close.
- ♂ Darkpaw (@Megan) Emberpaw did not get along with her brother during their kithood, he was bold and she was shy, but as they stepped into the unfamiliar world of apprenticeship, her relationship with him strengthened and he is now one of her strongest confidants.
- ♀ Blackpaw (@Fuzzyfeline) Blackpaw and Emberpaw have been close sisters since kits, Emberpaw often relying heavily on her outspoken sister for guidance in social situations. They have grown apart as they begin to grow into their own selfs as apprentices, but Emberpaw is never more at ease than when she is speaking with Blackpaw.
- ♀ Dawnpaw (@2018 Okapi) Emberpaw cares for Dawnpaw.
- None.
- ♀ Lynxpaw (@Boba Fett) Lynxpaw is the sun to Emberpaw's occasionally icy heart. She cares greatly for the older apprentice who took her under her wing as a young apprentice and helped integrate her with the others.
- ♀ Snowpaw (@Blue jellie) Despite the difference in personality, Emberpaw cares for Snowpaw.
- ♂ Stiltpaw (@Midgefur) Emberpaw likes Stiltpaw, when she first met him she thought he was older than her due to his height, so was shocked to learn he was younger. Stiltpaw's clumsy personality get on her nerves sometimes, causing her to snap at him, but she does genuinely like him.
- ♀ Nightshadow (@Liekki) Emberpaw respects her mentor, though sometimes the two of them can be the worst possible company for each other. Both snappy, fierce and stubborn. Though despite the petty squabbles Emberpaw creates with Nightshadow, she has found that her mentor is her fiercist ally.
- ♂ Alderpaw (@Megan) Emberpaw knows Alderpaw through her brother, Darkpaw, and though she often gets frustrated at the younger apprentice, she does enjoy spending time with him when she wants to let off some steam.
- ♂ Ashfeather (@Fern) Emberpaw had a bit of a crush on Ashfeather when they were apprentices, and his flirty nature by no means discouraged her. When she learned that he did not think she-cats could be warriors and that he expected her fate to be in a nursery, cowering with the kits, she was infuriated. She is now even more motivated to become a warrior, and do the opposite of everything Ashfeather expects her to. Emberpaw wants to surpass the young warrior to complete erase the kitlike feelings she had for him as an apprentice.
- ♂ Snowpaw (@Spiral Whirl) Emberpaw first encountered Snowpaw in the battle with Thunderclan on the way to the gathering, and was furious that she did not defeat him, so now she wishes to defeat him in future battles, at any cost. Even though she pretends that the fight was interrupted by the flood, she knows he would have won.
- ♀ Fogpaw (@Celestial) Because of Emberpaw's rather uptight and ambitious nature, Fogpaw's cheerful disposition and easy going personality clashes with Emberpaw, who secretly wishes she could be as laid back as Fogpaw.
- ♂ Ashnose (@Thistledawn) Emberpaw admires Ashnose's loyalty to the greater good which is serving Shadowclan, intrigued by his faith in Starclan and attracted to his fierceness. She too, values honesty and straightforwardness, and she wants to become someone like him, a clan-mate he could be proud of.
