[[xoxo] shard. :)]

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky...
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

NAME !!
solemnpaw [calling]

GENDER !!
she-cat

AGE !!
twelve moons

CLAN !!
serenityclan

RANK !!
medicine cat apprentice

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too

APPEARANCE !!
She's darling really. Some might find it a shame that she's restricted from mating. Let's start with her build.

Solemnpaw is only a bit smaller than the average. She'll grow up to be maybe the size of a large newly named warrior. She does indeed have to crane her neck to most, but she's still young. This she-cat could eat like a pig and stay thin, too. Her limbs are long, yet she's still a bit short. They're long compared to the rest of her, though. Her paws are tiny and delicate, attached to thin yet muscular legs. The muscles don't show, but they're there alright. The SerenityClanner's face is the usual pentagon, seemingly large in proportion to the rest of her. It causes her to look younger than she already does, like an overgrown kit, but don't assume such a thing. She'll flare.

Now, let's splash some paint on the outline.

She's silver, for a start. Silver all over, but with many exceptions. First off, there's the tabby stripes. Black tabby stripes, absolutely contrasted, everywhere. They don't even slightly fade out. They're pitch black, clear and strong. Just like any other tabby; you'll find the pattern on her forehead, her back, her tail, her legs, and the sides of her face. Besides the stripes, black can also be found on her underbelly. It reaches from there up to her fluffy chest, then expanding at the crease of her neck and spilling over her muzzle. And then her paws. Her delicate little paws are also ebony, and so are the backs of her ears. Last on the subject of color are her eyes. They are mint green pools of envy for those more fortunate.

Just sketching in those little details and we'll be all done...

Solemnpaw has some nails on those paws. Her claws and long and sharp, and if she were a cold-blooded killer, she could slaughter a cat with one swipe. The ones on her back paws are slightly larger, as are the holders. Her tail is average-length, and so is her fur. Her ears are rounded at the tips, and her almond-shaped eyes are slightly slanted. Oh, and that left hindleg is a bit funny-looking. She limps on it a lot. It was broken in a badger attack.

Well I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
Oh, I'm getting older too

PERSONALITY !!
Stubborn, headstrong, unwilling. Traits of Solemnpaw's personality to name a few.

She never wanted to be a medicine cat, but the business is soon to grow on her. This apprentice doesn't like to be bossed around by others, and is often protestant. She likes to do things her own way, whatever that may be. It's hard to motivate her, but in times of need, she's there, determined no matter how much she dislikes her work. Behind her stubborn exterior is a cry for help, as she wishes to not be forced to spend her life in the stuffy, strange-smelling den and run free in the wild and unpredictable forest. Alas, she is given such oppurtunities very rarely.

Solemnpaw can be sweet if she feels like it. Peer opinions has forced her into her rebellious state. She's scared of being thought of as soft and weak in the medicine cat's den. The she-cat doesn't enjoy be protected and is defiant of her condition, claiming that it has no effect on her. She can be quite tomboyish, and every time she manages to get out of the den, she can be found talking it up with the guys. Lavenderlace is a bit of a bore to her, with her punkish personality.

Ahh, take this love, take it down
Ahh, climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down

HISTORY !!
She was born to a SerenityClanner and a rogue. Her father was a silver tabby named Fang. Her mother, the Clancat, was a black she-cat named Junipervenom. They were teenage lovers, together since she was in mid-apprenticeship. She had noticed that a tom named Swordfang was interested in her at camp, so she used him as a cover-up when she became pregnant with kits. He thought that they were his, but they were Fang's.

She gave birth to them in mid-leaf-fall. One, Kestralkit, died from the harsh winter that followed. The other three, Solemnkit, Parrotkit, and Asphodelkit, were able to manage.

The trio went through apprenticeship together, and then they were split. One day while on a patrol with her mentor and two other warriors, Solemnpaw encountered a badger. The beast threw her to the ground, then stepped on her leg as it went to crush the others. She screeched in pain as it snapped in two. Her mentor, Fallenjustice, rushed her back to camp, but died of blood-loss not long after they arrived. The other two were also killed. Solemnpaw made it out alive, but with a broken leg.

While she was still in the den being healed, Swordfang caught her mother with the rogue and killed her in a fit of fury, then killed himself in shame. Their daughter received the grave news later that day.

She was forced into the life of a medicine cat for her leg did not mend properly, and dislikes it quite much. She'll grow into it though.
