[ [ If you like massive Viking women, then Iorahue's the gal for you! Congratulations! You've got a colossal half-Norwegian Forest Cat on your paws. This she-cat is quite intriguing, as you don't see many like her around her. She's mostly white but she's got this black-brown cloak thing going on on her top part. How about we start from the nose?
Iorahue's nose is pink, ever so pretty. It's nestled in the white majority that covers Iorahue. This white color stretches up between her eyes, curving under her opticals and then weaving like a wavy pattern down her sides. Her eyes are marvelous, a light-green color that's darkened by the black rims around them and then more so by her thick slitted pupils. Tawny-brown flecks around her eyes, along with some eyebrow whiskers. Diagonal from her eyes are Iorahue's large ears, blackened of course. As we start going down her frame, we can see her large rolling shoulders that make her height rival most of the toms around here. Her spine slicks down her back, ending in a broom-like tail that dark-brown.
Holding up her body are her shaggy white legs. These sit on pink pads, the same color as her gentle nose. However, it's not the pads you should worry about, it's the clear half-inch long talons hidden above them! True to her heritage, she is a long-haired she-cat that is almost all muscle, which you can feel if you press against her or manage to get yourself pinned under her.

[ [ Iorahue is a very proud cat, but not in that snooty way to her Clanmates. She is disgusted when other cats insult her Clan, believing that they should be proud of where they came from and where they live. She is very happy to be an EclipseClanner and would not change it for anything. If anyone says anything about her Clan, she is quick to tell them off, usually having to be shushed or dragged back to her seat. She also cannot stand if anyone says anything against the leader, deputy, or the medicine cats, being taught by her mother and mentor to be very loyal and patriotic. She loves her life, quick to reprimand apprentices and young warriors for complaining if they have to stand sentry or hunt extra for the queens. She will not tolerate deception or dissent, so if you're planning a coup, it wouldn't be wise to confide in Iorahue. She's not much for troublemaking but she likes to play with kittens.
Iorahue is quick to lash out but if you stay on her nice side, there's a good chance you'll be spared the rod. She's been known to reduce the toughest tom to the stature of a kitten and the haughtiest she-cat to tears. You could consider her to be a second deputy after Garnetcloak. Even though she didn't like her father, she won't tolerate anyone talking badly about him. However, she hates when people judge her based on her father's bad ways. She will not prejudge cats based on their parents and she expects others to follow her example. She honors her deceased mother very much, snapping out at anyone who dares say otherwise.
Iorahue lives to protect her Clan so she's somewhat of an overachiever. She runs extra patrols around the territory without being asked, usually has the status of the camp's foodstuffs before the deputy's even up, and organizes hunting patrols when Garnetcloak isn't around to do so. Nothing that she does is half-assed. If you wrongly accuse her of anything, she gets extremely defensive, raising quite a ruckus if anyone dares accuse her of being in the wrong when she isn't. However, if she has done something wrong, she'll tend to apologize and redo it after she's calmed down.

[ [ Icywind had been a kit of great promise. She was such a witty child and she always wanted to become something great. Now that she was a warrior, she was going to make good on that promise. She worked hard, training apprentices and helping the Clan out. She was so proud of herself when she became deputy of EclipseClan. She even found herself a mate in Crowfoot, whose kits she became pregnant with shortly after. They were named Iorakit, Brownkit, Musekit, and Rottingkit.
However, Crowfoot wasn't much interested in his kits or his mate. He was interested in Icywind's position in the Clan. Slowly, he began to manipulate her ways, telling her that's what the kits would want for their future and that's what the Clan secretly believed when he told her outlandish things. At first, Icywind was just a puppet in Crowfoot's paws, manipulated so easily, but when Iorapaw and her siblings became apprentices, Icywind finally got hit with some sense. She called Crowfoot out on his deception, but he killed her in his rage. Later, he was exiled.
Iorapaw hadn't liked her father much anyway, so she didn't really mind that he was sent away from home. She missed her mother, sure, but her loyalty to Amethyststar and the new deputy Fernpelt didn't change. She continued her training under Creamberry, becoming a warrior at twelve moons of age. Brownpaw became Brownbird, Musepaw became Musevoice, and Rottingpaw became Rottingleaf. When Musevoice was eighteen moons old, she confessed to Iorahue that she had fallen in love with this tom named Stealthstone, a much older tom who Iorahue knew Brownbird liked as well. When she told Musevoice this, Musevoice flew into a rage, believing that Brownbird was just trying to drive Stealthstone away from her for her own selfish gain. She confronted Brownbird and the two fought furiously. When they were broken up by Rottingleaf and Iorahue, the two never spoke again. They would also get mad at Iorahue whenever one saw her with the other. Conflicted, Iorahue became closer to her brother, Rottingleaf.
At thirty moons, she was given an apprentice, a tom named Vinepaw. The two didn't really get along that much, for they had such conflicting opinions on just about everything. Despite their misgivings, they trained together, if grudgingly, and Vinepaw was named Vinethrottle when he came of age.
Iorahue became a well-respected warrioress, fighting valiantly in the Tribe battle even though there wasn't a hope in the world. She also has high respect for the newly-named Fernstar, who she stands by in all ways.
