Appearance
Clovestrike is a deep reddish-brown she-cat with green eyes.

Personality
Clovestrike is pretty indifferent toward most cats, including her own kits. She has a severe hatred of Pineclaw and refuses to speak of him. Despite not being particularly fond of or close with her kits, she is very protective of them and tried her best to raise them. She is good at solving conflicts, though she doesn't particularly like being bothered.

Kithood
Clovekit was born and raised in OasisClan. Nothing particularly special happened to her.

Apprenticeship
Clovepaw made the worst mistake of her life when she struck up a conversation with Flamepaw and Pinepaw of HorizonClan at a Gathering. Pinepaw decided she was cute and that's when the trouble began. Clovepaw suspected nothing, so she figured that this friendship with the HorizonClan apprentices couldn't possibly go wrong.

She was wrong, as are most people when it comes to Pineclaw.

He started flirting with her anytime Flamepaw wasn't around. She found him annoying and shook him off. She was far more interested in Flamepaw's friendship than Pinepaw's.

During her last three moons of apprenticeship, she rarely went to gatherings, hoping to avoid Pinepaw. It worked, sort of.

Warrior Life
Clovestrike earned her warrior name and did regular warrior things. When the OasisClan mediator died, she stepped up to take her place.

Around this time, Pineclaw was starting to run messages for HorizonClan and Clovestrike couldn't really avoid him. He was a problem and she totally hated him. But he was also charming and anytime Clovestrike saw him flirting with one of her Clanmates, she couldn't help feeling a small twinge of jealousy.

After a fight with Flamethorn at a Gathering, during which they argued for a good long time about how stupid and annoying the other was, Clovestrike decided to take revenge on Flamethorn by encouraging Pineclaw. Now, Clovestrike didn't know that Flamethorn and Pineclaw were mates with two small kits. Because that's the observative genius she is.

Things went a bit too far though. Clovestrike tried to keep her relationship with Pineclaw quiet. Her quarrel was with Flamethorn, so she wanted the HorizonClan she-cat to hear about it. She didn't want her Clanmates or anyone else to know though. The thing about secrets though is that they're hard to keep, especially when there's evidence of them. And for Pineclaw and Clovestrike, that evidence came in the form of kits. Clovestrike was really mad at Pineclaw when she found out that she was going to have kits, but Pineclaw was like, 'Dude, we're in an official relationship. What were you expecting?' Clovestrike didn't like that, so she dragged him into the woods to yell at him for a long time. Alas, there was nothing to be done except maybe dump the kits on some queen in another Clan, but Clovestrike decided against that. She did make Pineclaw promise to be a good dad though.

When the kits were about one moon old, Mistrunner happened to find out about them. We all know what happens next: Flamethorn gets mad, Pineclaw gets exiled, and Clovestrike gets resigned to being a single parent.

Clovestrike was rather mad about this all. It had started as an attempt to steal Flamethorn's man to spite her, then progressed to a full-on romantic relationship, to children, and now that stupid Flamethorn had gotten Pineclaw exiled. It didn't make matters better that little Frogkit was the spitting image of his father. Fernkit, she could deal with. Frondkit wasn't a problem. But Frogkit? She hated Frogkit. She knew it was wrong to hate your own kit, but to her, he was just a reminder of her worst mistakes.

At a Gathering, Clovestrike happened to be watching while Kitepaw was yelling at Frogpaw. She could have done something. She should have done something. But she just sat by mutely and watched, because honestly, Kitepaw was saying what Clovestrike had wanted to say for moons. Frogpaw never forgave her for that.

Several moons later, Clovestrike was up one night when this dude burst into camp and dumped a kit on her. He babbled something about a sister in OrchidClan and ran away as fast as he could. Clovestrike didn't want this random dude's kit. Heck, she hadn't wanted her own kits! So she left the kit in the nursery where she was adopted immediately by Skyflower.

Currently, Clovestrike just vibes in OasisClan. She's a good mediator but a bad mom.

Trivia

 * Did you know that Pineclaw and his many mates are from a different roleplay (not on Scratch)? Yeah. All of them except Flamethorn were originally loners. I changed that so that there was a good reason for Pineclaw's exile. (He didn't get exiled until Nettlewhisper in the first roleplay and the order was a bit different. But yeah. Same old Pineclaw.)
