DYINGofLONELINESS !! woven.

[SHADE. :D]

i feel like a song without the words
a man without a soul
a bird without it's wings
a heart without a home

i feel like a knight without a sword
the sky without the sun
cos you are the one

wovenknot.

i feel like a ship beneath the waves she-cat
a child who's lost it's way moonclan
a door without a key forty one moons
a face without a name deputy

i feel like a breath without the air
and every day's the same
since you've gone away

Wovenknot’s body is thin and lithe, like a lot of wildcat’s, but with a difference. Her body leans awkwardly to her right, because of the absence of her left back leg. She has nothing more than a stump where her lost limb used to be. The rest of her legs are hardy and stout, with round, strong paws. Her claws are inky black. Her tail is long and thick, sometimes acting a little like a fourth leg to her. Her flanks are smooth and slender, and her form athletic. Her face is beautifully round, with flat cheeks and a thin, medium-length muzzle. Her eyes are very round and wide, edged in smoky black. The eyes themselves are a soft, milky blue.

Wovenknot’s fur is coarse and short, with a wiry sort of feel to it. It is thick and despite its rough texture, easily keeps her thin body insulated. Underneath the rough topcoat there are slighter softer, darker hairs. These soft hairs also cover her slim belly, which is soft as a kit’s fur. This velvety patch of fur is the only patch that shows through. The hue of Wovenknot’s coat is a dull steel grey, which mottled darker and lighter here and there. Her namesake is the tightly balled clumps of sleek black stripes that lace her body. The soft fur on her belly is light cream.

i gotta have a reason to
wake up in the morning
you used to be the one
who put a smile on my face

Wovenknot is a shy creature, not really wanting to get too involved in anything, but always wanting be a part of things. She hates to be in the spotlight, and being the center of attention, but if you leave her out of something it will hurt her badly. Wovenknot is a sensitive, sometimes timid she-cat, because of her unusual appearance. She has suffered a lot of teasing because of her missing limb, which has tied herself up inside her own body. She refuses to let her beauty inside shine out, afraid some snide cat will snatch it away with one contemptuous comment. Wovenknot is a nice, friendly she-cat when she can beat her shyness.
Wovenknot does not much like to fight, but her hunting skills are exceptional for one with a lost limb. She stalks her prey patiently and does not dwell over her failures. She is not the best hunter in MoonClan, nor does she bring back the most prey, but her hunting skills are very good. Wovenknot thinks fighting is wrong, but is not afraid to get physically hurt because of how much mental pain she has been through. She can fight sometimes quite fiercely, but being three-legged hampers her greatly as most enemies take advantage of it.

there are no words that can
describe how i miss you
and i miss you
every day
yeah

Two deeply in love warriors named Secretcalling and Limestone brought Wovenkit into the world. The only problem was, that Secretcalling resided in MoonClan and Limestone in EclipseClan. But the warriors did not much care of their kits’ half-clan heritage. Wovenkit herself had two small brothers named Slatekit and Mistkit. Their parents’ decided Limestone would take her sons back to EclipseClan and Secretcalling would take Wovenkit to MoonClan. Wovenkit grew up lonely, as she did not have many friends in the nursery. When she was five moons old, she was nearly taken by a hawk, and received a deep scratch on her leg. The clan knew the hawk would return. During the time before it did, Secretcalling declared his hate for his daughter, and Wovenkit broke down. Secretcalling disappeared.

Wovenkit was apprenticed at six moons, but her injured leg became infected with a deadly disease. The disease threatened to kill Wovenpaw, but the medicine cat removed the infected leg. This caused excruciating pain for Wovenpaw, physically and mentally. But her mentor, Firewind, trained her hard and her training came back on track.

At twelve moons old, Wovenpaw was made a warrior. She discovered whom her mother and brother were, but Limestone had long since run away after her mate’s death. Wovenknot met her broken brother Mistmirage, who was alone after Slate-ice had been killed. Wovenknot was devastated to discover, at the next Gathering, that her brother had disappeared. She found herself alone, with no family or mate to care for her, and more lonely than ever before.

But this was going to change. She continued her warriorhood, lonely and wistful, until she was given her second apprentice, Cardinalpaw. Soon after this, her parents returned to MoonClan, Limestone heavily pregnant, to Wovenknot’s fury. She tried hard to concentrate on Cardinalpaw’s training and not on the return of her hated parents. She and Cardinalpaw were exceptionally close, and after a while, the tom was given his warrior name, Cardinalspire. In the same day he confessed his love for Wovenknot. She was shocked, but found that, deep in her heart, she felt the same way. Despite the clan’s surprise, the two became mates. After this, Wovenknot was shocked to be made the MoonClan deputy. It seemed her life had taken a positive turn at last.

But this did not last. Wovenknot became pregnant, something she could not be if she was going to be deputy. But Firestar, her former mentor, decided to appoint a temporary deputy while Wovenknot was in the nursery caring for her kits. Wovenknot soon gave birth to three kits. A longhaired, golden brown tabby named Honeykit, a ginger she-cat named Valleykit, and a white and dark brown tom named Sablekit. Though now it seemed Wovenknot’s troubles were finally over, they were far from it. Her father’s constant hiderance and a sudden illness in Cardinalspire brought her down to a new level of worry.

And then, out of blue, Cardinalspire died. Just like that. Wovenknot was utterly devastated, and unlikely to ever get over his death.
