~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Brackenfire as an apprentice was small and lithe, her frame that of an average apprentice. But who you used to know so many moons ago has become a full grow warrior. Shes become bigger then the average warrior, her body growing to the size of her fathers and his family. But her mothers side of the family have been small cats so her blood became deluded causing her growth to stop right before she reached her fathers height.
But she still she did get her fathers gorgeous coat. A snow white underbelly that reached down her paws and up around her face and the base of her tail. On top of her was a beautiful gray pelt that sparkled in the moonlight. She was also covered in dark gray, almost black stripes that reached down her back, around her legs, and on her tail. Her coat was thick and heavy, keeping her toasty warm in the winter.
Ebony claws are kept clean and sharp inside her paws, always ready for battle. Her dark gray eyes are always alert, always aware of her surroundings, and always on the look out for trouble.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As an apprentice, Brackenfire was always suspicious of others and hardly trusted anyone. She was shy and didn't have many friends. But then Puzzleheart came along[Puzzlepaw at the time] and she began to trust more. She grew confidence in herself and is now someone to voice her opinion. She's a wonderful cat to be around, always smiling and cheerful.
She has a motherly attitude towards those who are younger then her and she's always looking towards the nursery. She loves kits and hopes to have a few of her own someday with Puzzleheart. She would make a perfect mother, always ready to protect those she is close to and always ready to protect her Clan.
Her loyalty always has and always will be towards her Clan. She doesn't trust those outside of the Clan, never have and never will. She believes them to be disgusting creatures who don't belong in the Clans. If one ever steps foot in her Clan shes ready to tear them to pieces. But when the leader allows one into the Clan she forces herself to accept them and move on.

Parents
Brackenfire's parents were two Clan cats, the father being Blackstripe, a rather large tom with silver colored fur, and the mother being Silvercalling, a small she-cat with beautiful brown fur. They fell in love after the two became warriors. There was no special thing that happened to put them together, no one saving anothers life, no forbidden calling, no cross Clan or loner life. Just love at first sight.
What a love story...*eyeroll*
But Silvercalling always claimed that she would hear StarClan telling her things, but nothing really good that would help the Clan, just random gibberish that caused the Clan to think she was crazy. That was her down fall. Shortly after she bore Blackstripe two kits, a tom named Mountainkit and a she-kit named Brackenkit, she claimed that StarClan was calling her and she left the Clan.
She had done it before and always come back, but this time she didn't come back. She really left this time.
Kithood
After Silvercalling left Blackstripe was left to raise the kits. They were feed by one of the other queens named Littleclaw but after they were weened it was up to Blackstripe to care for them. He loved them like any father would. But just like any kits they got into loads of trouble and Brackenkit was normally the one who lead them.
Brackenkit and her brother had heard about the Serenityfalls and really wanted to see them. I mean come on, water falling off some high mountain? She couldn't believe that! But they went and it was amazing. But then the most horrible thing happened. Mountainkit started jumping on some rocks that were jutting out over the water. She begged him to come back, but then he slipped and fell in the water. She wanted to go wadding in after him, but her fear of water kept her planted in place. She watched as he drowned.
She was still standing in the same place, watching the same spot where he drowned when the Clan found her and one of the Clan members waded in and tried to find him, but even if they did everyone knew that he would already be dead. They never found his body, and every night after that she's had nightmares about that awful night. Her father never looked at her the same again.
Apprenticeship
Her father left the Clan after she became an apprentice. Everyone thinks that he left to find Brackenpaw's mother, but just like her, he hasn't returned. Brackenpaw knew that her father must hate her since her brother died. Scrawltale, her mentor, told her to stop dwelling on the past and after a while, she did. She's even had fewer nightmares about it.
She kept herself busy with hunting and trying to please her mentor and her clan so much she's started to forget her family and she's become happy again, focusing on her future, wanting to do her best, pleasing everyone she see. Its become a natural thing for her, but ever since then she's kept to herself, isolating herself away from the other apprentices.
The one thing Brackenfire will never forget about her past is watching Amethyststar falling over the edge off the waterfall. She was just sitting there looking at the water when the leaders body fell over the side of the waterfall, followed by her son, Corbynfeather who was exiled from the Clan after killing his own mother. She had nightmares about it for moons.
Then she became friends with Puzzlepaw. She was timid at first but the two became fast friends and they both had crushes on each other but it landed up being Puzzlepaw's crazy sister, Rainbowpaw, that pushed them together.
Warriorhood
It wasn't long after Brackenfire became an apprentice that her and Puzzleheart finally confessed to each other their hearts. Brackenfire has now put her past behind her and is looking forward to the future and what it will bring. Her heart hopes that it will bring her kits.
