SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Small white she cat with green eyes.
APPEARANCE:
Brightheart is a little smaller then a medium sized cat. She will still grow don't worry. Her legs will get longer, her fur will get a little tiny bit longer and she will fill out. This she cat is covered in nothing but white fur. Not another color is on this she cat. Her fur length is not to short but also not to long for her. It's just perfect. It will grow just a little more but not terribly longer. Her legs are good for size. They too will get longer for her but for now they help her do her job when it comes to running and jumping. The only colorful thing on her body is her eyes. Her beautiful green eyes that shimmer in the sun and glow in the moonlight. Her claws are a very different thing about her. This she cat will walk around camp and even the woods with her claws in her paws. She will not take them out unless she really has to example fur hunting or fighting. That's it. Nothing else. So when t does come to battles believe me those claws of hers will she sharper then a new born kits tooth.

STRENGTHS:

PERSONALITY:
SHY
Brightheart is a very shy cat. She wont say much to you. Don't be offended please its just who she is. She was never a talker when she was young and growing up. She will talk to you when she is spoken to. When it comes to gatherings she will also keep to herself unless she is approached. You will never see her approach a cat and start talking. She keeps her words short but you will always see her smile when she talks to you.
OBSERVANT:
Being quiet and shy Brightheart is actually very observant. She is able to pick out little details about anything. She might not speak about it unless she has to but for example she can tell when you are lying to her. Brightheart is very good at sensing when a cat is not being truthful or hiding something from her. Along with just that she can tell if a cat has been injured just a little bit or is starting to get sick before the major things start to happen when we talk about an illness. She is very good about noticing about body language too, if a cat is timid, scared, holding back, you name it can she pin point it. For being shy she does watch and catches on very quickly to little details about a cat.
PROTECTIVE:
If its one thing this little cat can do its fight. She is a wicked she cat when it comes to protecting the ones she loves being her clan. For being shy, quiet and observant you would think she doesn't do much but when it comes to battles and battle training she gets serious. She sees her whole clan as one big litter and its her job to protect each and every one of them. When it comes to loners and rouges she will get nasty and stand her ground and let you know how is boss. Of course this also goes for Kittypets. It's her clan and she calls the shots.
HARD TO PLEASE:
If for some odd really weird reason if you are not clan born and you just happen to be ''accepted'' into the clan do not expect to be friends and buddy buddy with Brightheart. She is a hard one to gain her trust if you do not belong in ShadowClan. Being observant she will always have her eyes on you and being extremely good about detail she will basically just wait for you to mess up. She will not.. kick you out unless you show her she has a reason to. This also goes for other clans. She's not one to be friends with every leader there is and their clan. She knows her place and all she worries about is her own clan
but the arms of the ocean delivered me
MOTHER: Willowshine
FATHER: TBD - Alive {If there's a difference between the biological parents and the cats that raised them/that they consider their parents, feel free to copy these again, remembering to rename them appropriately, if needed}
SIBLINGS: None
OTHER FAMILY: None
MENTOR: Stoneclaw (died)
HISTORY:
Brightkit was born into a litter of 3. Sadly her brothers died in birth and so did her mother. Her father wanted nothing to do with her and eventually left the clan before she was even an apprentice. No one knew why he just got up and left. Some say its because of his mate not longer being there and his daughter only reminded him of her.. so he wasn't able to stay. Her mother was all white too. Her name was Willowshine, Being a kit and not really having any friends she was a shy little thing. Didn't talk much and was well behaved. She did not talk to the other kits but just simply sat and watched near her new mother who helped her grow up and nursed her to good health. Kits asked for her to play with them but little Brightkit shook her head and just wanted to watch yet when she did she was very watchful with how these kits played. She pointed out a little scratch on one kit he never felt getting while playing around. She was always one for detail and see how things were played out from a distance.
When her time finally came to be an apprentice she got the mentor by the name of Stoneclaw. He was very out going and talkative. He was the best fighter in ShadowClan and passed everything he knew down to her. Which made her in the future a very good fighter. She picked up tricks and different ways to fight that no other cat really knew how to. She won battles with other apprentices fairly fast. Hunting was no problem at all along with patrols and even real battles, one being against ThunderClan. Moons passed and being 12 moons old she was given her warrior name and in no time at all an apprentice, Cloverpaw. Brightheart was a really good trainer for not speaking much. Because she was so picky when it came to detail she made her apprentice almost into what she was when she was an apprentice. 6 moons pass by and Cloverpaw was named a warrior. Brightheart was very proud of her apprentice.
Admin note: the following is not canon until an accepted leadership application is appended into this thread.
A few moons passed by and now things were getting strange. Her leader was growing old and ill and the medicine cat was trying all he could to help him sadly he passed and the deputy was to take her leaders place. The deputy the next day made his way to get his nine lives but for some reason he never made it back.. or did his patrol. The clan was freaking out. The medicine cat then had to take charge and put for some Starclan reason Brightheart in charge until he got back. Her being only 29 moons she questioned why he would put her in charge and not a senior warrior.. she was young.. what was she going to do?
With the medicine cat now coming back he asked for Brightheart to come into his den. Being in there for what seemed like moons Brightheart came out with shaky legs and eyes widened. This couldn't be possible. Turned out Starclan's past leader has picked her to be leader. Brightheart couldn't understand this at all. Why her? Out of all the warriors, even the older ones why would he pick her? What did Starclan see in her that no other cat offered?
Now young, inexperienced, and nervous Brightheart is now leader of ShadowClan..

never let me go, never let me go
ROLE-PLAYER: You can just call me Country
WRITING SAMPLE:
Brightheart sat with a couple warriors older then her in a circle and before she knew it everyones eyes were on the medicine cat who padded into the camp. He had left to see what was to be done about this no leader and no deputy issue. The clan had never experienced something like this. Padding up to her the medicine cat locked eyes with her and mewed,
''Follow me.''
Brightheat watched him go into his den and she looked at everyone else who had her eyes on her. Heart beating she got up without a word and padded slowly into the den where scents of herbs filled her nose almost wanting to make her gag. Pulling herself together she sat down on the ground and waited to see what this medicine cat was going to say.
''Brightheart.. I really don't know how to break this to you but.. starclan spoke to me....and your the new leader of ShadowClan.'' Brightheart felt her heart drop.
''Excuse me?'' she was able to get out in such a little squeak from her voice cracking in shock. The medicine cat closed his eyes and went on,
''Brightheart.. I understand this might be a little hard for you to understand but Starclan feels you have the qualities to lead a clan...'' he stopped talking for a bit and opened his eyes to see Brighthearts just staring right into his. Skipping over a few detail in her history he mewed,
''I have traveled to starclan to see what could be done about our problem here and Nightstar stepped forward along with many other cats from starclan and would like for you to lead the clan.'' Brightheart didn't blink the entire time.
''Do you understand how old I am..'' she mewed finally blinking. Nodding to her the medicine cat mewed,
''Be that as it may you being 29 moons old you did already have an apprentice..'' interrupting Brightheart raised her voice a bit and hissed lightly, ''You do have Russetclaw, Eagletooth, Frosteye, Dovestripe and many many other senior warriors who have had over five apprentices to train I want to know why me!'' Sitting calmly the medicine cat looked at her with eyes filled with pain for how much this yung cat would have to go through,
''I can't answer that for you Brightheart.. you will need to speak with starclan about that when you receive your nine lives..I am more then happy to go with you with a few other warriors and we can get this all sorted out, you can pick a deputy who is suited to help you..'' Getting up the medicine cat padded to the opening of his den and looked at all of the cats standing around talking. Brightheart turned around and saw what he was looking at. The whole clan.
I cant do this.. she thought as she got up and stood next to her medicine cat. Not looking over at her he mewed,
''We need to leave now. I'll get a few warriors and an apprentice and we can be on our way. Unless you wish to pick..''
"No. No.. I don't.. I can't....please pick for me.'' Feeling the medicine cats eyes on her she lifted her head and padded out of his den and towards the opening of the camp. The medicine cat watched her leave and couldn't help but give a sigh.
''Oh starclan.. please be with her and let her know this is what she was called to do...'' Padding out of the den he padded over to the highrock and waited for all the cats to be silent.
''Starclan has talked to me and Brightheart has been called to be the new leader of ShadowClan.Rainpelt, Nightail and Bluepaw will be accompanying us. Owlfur you will watch camp until we return.''
Leaping down from the rock he padded over to where all the cats were waiting for him and nodded for them to leave. Bluepaw fell in step with Brightheart and mewed,
''I wish someday starclan could pick me to be leader, you must be so excited to lead a clan!'' Flattening her ears at the apprentices words she heard a whisper in the back,
''Bluepaw lets just hope your older then her to be leader and more experienced.''
Closing her eyes Brightheart cursed at starclan and hoped she would be able to get some answers out of her father tonight about why this all happening so soon. .
