Appearance
Emberglow is a small, skinny black cat with distinctive green eyes. She has five scars, four on her face and one on the paw pad of her front right paw.

Personality
Emberglow used to be a very scared and nervous young she-cat. She always insisted on introducing herself properly, as her mother was very strict about that sort of thing. She is strictly non-violent and with good reason. She tries to be kind to everyone, because she knows that life sometimes isn't. Though she hasn't told anyone, she wants to raise kits of her own more than anything in the world. Without Larchflight though, she's kind of given up on that dream.

Kithood
Emberglow was born under the name Night to a rogue named Hazel. She lived with her mother and her two siblings, Moon and Void, until they were three moons old. Before she and her littermates were born, their father, Stormclaw, left Hazel, his sense of duty forcing him to return to his Clan. Hazel became bitter and, when her kits were born, she took her anger out on them as her mate was out of reach. Moon, the oldest and largest kit, was her favored child. She was never harmed in any way, unlike her siblings. Void and Night received the full force of their mother's anger, especially Night. Hazel was very harsh when it came to her kits' upbringing, forcing them to learn how to hunt and fight far younger than Clan cats would. Night, not willing to hurt her siblings, received the right face scar as punishment for not fighting. She got the paw scar on a cold leaf-bare night when she had failed to catch anything while hunting. Void tried to give her credit for his catches, but he only ended up making the problem worse for both of them. They got identical scars on their paws. The final three scars came the night Hazel left them. She woke Night up in the middle of the night as she was leaving by accident and, when she realized her daughter was awake, she scratched her face, marring Night's appearance further. Then she and Moon disappeared into the night. Night and Void were skilled enough and clever enough to survive on their own, but tragedy struck the siblings again. A fire started near their home and Void died in the flames. Night lived with the guilt of believing she was responsible for his death. She changed her name to Ember as a tribute to her brother and continued trying to survive.

Ember was found by a FallClan hunting patrol at three moons old. She joined the Clan under the name Emberkit and spent the next three moons being passed between FallClan and OrchidClan. She eventually chose to stay in FallClan, drawn to it by the water that encompasses the territory.

Apprenticeship
Emberkit was apprenticed to her father, Stormclaw, though no one knew the connection between the two of them. She had a quiet apprenticeship until she turned 11 moons old. It was at this point that her brother, Void, and the first leader of FallClan, Waterfall, visited Stormclaw in a dream and told him that Emberpaw was his daughter. Stormclaw immediately regretted all his life choices and swore to be better for his daughter in the future.

The next morning, Stormclaw told Emberpaw what he had learned and Emberpaw (shockingly) forgave him. They went to visit Sootsnow and Whitebird in the most pure roleplay Whitebird will ever be involved it.

Warrior Life
Emberpaw became a warrior with the name of Emberglow. She has spent her adult life so far attempting to befriend several cats, including Ashface, Glacierstep, and Larchflight. Emberglow and Larchflight became very good friends and were 'dating' until he died. His funeral was the first time she told him she loved him. He gave her a lot of lilies and other white flowers, so she buried a few lilies with him.

Recently, Emberglow has decided to go looking for her sister, Moon. Ashface agreed to go with her and she got approval from Stormclaw.

The first place they decided to go was Hazel's heather patch. Emberglow went and caught a rabbit before heading in. Inside, the patch was mostly grown back so you couldn't really tell that it had burned up not too long ago. Emberglow managed to find her kithood playthings, three little rocks in blue, green, and purple, under some scorched moss.

They then went look for water so they could get Ashface something to eat. Emberglow ended up having a serious panic attack along the way. She was very stressed about the potential of running into her mom, wouldn't you be stressed if you might meet Hazel?

Trivia

 * Void is her favorite relative, with Sootsnow a close second
 * Warrior has decided that she deserves a happy ending.
 * She may or may not have a crush on Larchflight. Even if she does, she doesn't recognize it for what it is.
 * She was so crushing on Larchflight *crying*
 * I just realized on rereading Stoatthroat's page that he did basically the same thing as Emberglow, naming himself after the thing that killed his brother.
 * Not to be confused with Emberclaw, whose name I am not happy about.
 * As a kit, she had these three rocks that were part hunting practice, part baby dolls, and part imaginary friends. She loved those rocks.
 * Emberglow very rarely refers to Hazel as anything but Mother. This is partially based on the fact that I think Hazel would insist on that form of address and partially based on the fact that Rapunzel in Tangled only ever calls Mother Gothel "Mother." However, the longer she's away from Hazel, the more willing she is to use her name.

Quotes
"Mother didn't like it when we did anything out of the ordinary."

''

"I'm Emberkit. I guess you might have already known that, but Mother would be very angry if she knew I wasn't introducing myself correctly."

''

"I like the water."

"Don't worry about it. It happens all the time. It's better than the other things I could be stared at for."

"Thank you. That's more than my parents ever did for me."

''

"But I trust you. I think you're going to be fine."

''

"All of them. She gave me all of them."

''

"Am I? Or am I broken like she always said I was?"

  "I heard him last night. But I couldn't find him."

''

"You... I trusted you. I thought I finally had someone who cared about me. But it's your fault I needed that in the first place."

  "It's not my fault she didn't like fish. Or that that was all I could catch."

  "If I hadn't, how would I have a family? My family. I finally found you. I'm not going to let go of that."

  "Sweet is not a term cats usually apply to me. I like it."

''

"No. I don't say her name. Ever. It's a rule of mine. Monsters can't hurt you if you never acknowledge them."



"They're just fish."

"There. Bluegill. Enjoy."

"Good job, Mr. Salmon."

"No. I-it doesn't. There's always more that you realize you needed to say."

"I try to keep them neat. It... it was a way for me to pretend I could be with Void."

"I... I don't think someone like you could have loved someone like her the way she was when I knew her."

"I don't want my family more torn apart than it has to be. Larchflight... his death reminded me that life doesn't last forever. I don't want to die with my only memory of my sister being her cruelty."

"I think that deep down, all cats want to be near other cats. They just act hostile to seem tough. Of course, that's just a theory and my mother is excellent evidence to the contrary sooo..."

"Not really. Moon never really liked me. She just went along with whatever Mother said and enjoyed fighting. I didn't. Void only fought to protect me."

"Void and I, we weren't like her. Small and weak, flawed in her eyes. Moon, though small, was fierce and obedient. I think part of her hatred of us was probably just anger at Stormclaw. I mean, can you imagine being left by your mate without him even knowing you were going to have kits? I hate feeling bad for her, but I kind of do."

"I used to play with these when I was a kit. Only fun thing I really did. Mother... wasn't too big on games. I'm sure you can tell that, though."

"I really shouldn't waste it. But I don't care what Whitebird and Sootsnow say about rabbits, there is not a single good memory I have involving one."

"Someone will probably need to restrain her [Moon], though. I don't trust her not to attack him on sight."
