The sun shines upon me//
Amaryllistouch is quite a small cat, but she has quite broad shoulders for her size. She is well muscled but her size puts her at a definite disadvantage when fighting. She has quite a long tail, but her legs are slightly short even for her size. Her eyes are large and a lovely dark blue, a color that isn't rich, but clear, they are almond shaped and very pretty. Her eyes are the sort that convey emotions with perfect clarity, and she has a very piercing gaze. Her muzzle is long and elegant, and her nose is midnight black. Her ears are quite small and are frequently folded forwards, a habit that comes from having to hide when she investigated her mentor. Her fur is as soft as rabbits fur, and is the same length. It is short and a sort of very pale, milky brown that sometimes appears to be darker when the light falls on it, this is because her skin is black.. Though her fur absorbs water like a sponge, it is good at keeping her warm.
Her paws are petite and are the same color as the rest of her. Her claws are particularly long, and are black. She has one scar that stretches from her left ear to half way down her back, the fur covers it most of the time though, so its not as noticeable as you might think. She is quite stocky and isn't built to be thin, if she is you can be sure its because she's hungry. She would be quite elegant, in a more stable sort of way, but she carries herself more in a way that you would expect a prisoner to, than how you would expect a warrior to. Everything about her build speaks of strength, but few cats notice, she's just too small. She is rather plain if you don't pay attention to the details of her appearance, and most don't even bother to give her a second glance, unless of course they see her eyes.
Look closer//
Darkness
Most think of her as just plain shy, they don't bother with the details and she doesn't bother to enlighten them. She likes to keep them in the dark. Upon meeting a new cat, she tends to hang around in the background, giving the impression of shyness and hiding her true personality. With cats she knows she tends to just smile, and not talk much. After all, Amarylistouch is hardly a suspicious name. She is a she-cat that always seems trustworthy and kind, and at least here you get something right, she is kind, to kits and friends, and she is trustworthy, to her friends. Its just, she only cares about herself, friends and kits, she has a natural soft spot for kits.

If you were to look a bit closer, then it might cast a bit of light on what she's really like, though wrong impressions are still quite common. If you were to look a bit closer, you would find that she would happily lie and do whatever, and you would discover that, in reality, she is quite selfish. Now, I'm not saying she is like this, but you would probably think she was a horrible cat. Stop seeing the world in black and white and start being realistic. You would think her manipulating, which she is... And most likely cruel, which she isn't. She can be a bit ruthless at times, but she is never purposefully cruel. You would figure out that actually, when she waits in the background, she is figuring out what the new cat is like and if she wants to get involved with it.
Sunhigh
What's she really like? Well, if you took the trouble to turn on the lights you would find her to be quite complicated. Lets start with what's at her chore, loyalty. This may seem a good trait, but with her its loyalty to herself, and any select best friends she may have. She has virtually no loyalty to the clan, but she enjoys fighting and hunting, and gets bored if theres no-one to manipulate. There's another point. She is quite manipulative, she doesn't actually manipulate others very often, but thinking of how to is a common pastime for her. She has a conscience, but has a view of things that is different to how most cats see things. For example, if an elder had followed her into another cats territory where she was meeting someone, and was completely lost, most cats with a conscience would guide her home, all her conscience would make her do would be not kill them.
Past:
From Newborn to Apprentice
Amarylliskit
She was born to two kind and gentle cats, and was named Amarylliskit because of the beauty of the flower, and the beauty of her circumstances. Right from the very start she hated it. She was always being made a fuss of by her mother, and the other kits were all to innocent for her to play her sort of games with. And worst of all was her brother. She hated him! She felt that he was way way to innocent to be related to her. She manipulated the other kits, acted really confident and proud, and got into trouble. The other queens in the nursery tried to make her as obedient and good as her brother, but that just made her hate them. As it was, she was delighted when her mother caught greencough. She made sure not to show that she was delighted, even though she was only four moons old. The day before she and her brother were made apprentices, her mother died.
From Apprentice to Warrior
Amaryllispaw
She enjoyed being an apprentice. Her mentor was openly evil and though she wasn't like that, at least he didn't train her with her brother. He wasn't tough on her at all, in fact, it was more like she was the mentor and he the apprentice, she still possessed the rakish confidence of her kithood, but she concealed it from all but her mentor now. She talked to the elders a lot, and through innocent seeming questions managed to find out quite a lot about her mentor. She found that he had sneaked out of camp quite often, and she planned to accuse him of plotting against the clan and using it to make her more popular. She liked him, but he wasn't a best friend so she put herself first. She did, however, decide to wait until she was a warrior before she made the accusation, she wanted all the training her mentor could give. She knew the other cats would only teach her honorable techniques. She revealed his treachery at her warrior ceremony, and after she gave truth her mentor was outlawed and she gained a lot of popularity.
From Warrior to NOW
Amaryllistouch
As a warrior she used her new found popularity to convince everyone that she was as good as her brother, who was called Sunray. She didn't particularly like it, but she did want an apprentice. She thought about her brother, and her father, quite a lot over the first half moon of being a warrior, and eventually figured out how she would kill them off. She didn't like them and she certainly didn't want any of her family surviving, they knew her too well. However, she needn't have dreamed up any sort of murder plot, the two cats were killed by a badger when they were on a hunting patrol together. She insisted on being on the patrol that drove the badger away and mourned them for a few days after that, just to make sure everyone knew she was unhappy that they were dead, then she brightened up again. She had now figured out her ambitions, she didn't want to be deputy or leader, she was completely uninterested in healing, but she really wanted an apprentice. Now she is a normal warrior, just a rather young one.
In Character:
Calmly the pale brown she-cat sat in front of the warriors den. An untouched thrush lay at her paws as she looked at a ebony colored kit wobbling out of the nursery. A calculating look was in her large indigo eyes, and she couldn't help wishing that her eyes didn't reveal so much about her. The reason she was staring at the kit, was that she was deciding who she would most like to mentor. This kit probably wouldn't be given to her, but she could still watch it. Her claws were neatly sheathed into her small paws, and her long, elegant muzzle was pointed towards towards the nursery. She couldn't have made it more obvious if she had tried that she wasn't eating. Still, showing interest in an apprentice wouldn't hurt, it might even help her get an apprentice.
The tempting scent of fresh-kill wafted up from the prey that lay in front of her, but she payed it no attention. She wasn't really hungry. The reason that she wasn't hungry was that she had already eaten, she had brought back as much prey as the other warriors, but she had eaten before feeding the clan. She didn't care much for the warrior code. Though she was distinctly aware that others might find it weird to find her sitting here staring at a kit, she had a motherly smile on her face and she hoped that would keep the worst of the questions away. If they even saw her. She had selected that spot because it was shrouded in the shadow cats by the warriors den, she wasn't that noticeable.
