Appearance
Mistrunner is a dark gray she-cat with lighter gray tabby swirls. Her eyes are a stormy blue-gray.

Personality
Mistrunner is typically pretty quiet. Many cats find her pretty likable, though most are concerned about her. When she's especially tired, she starts acting really hyper. She is only truly chill and calm at night.

Kithood
Misty was born on the edge of HorizonClan territory. When she was a young kit, her mother died. It sucked. But Sootsnow happened to find her and took her to OasisClan. That sucked less.

What did suck was that her adopted dad, Addercreek, wasn't great with children. In fact, he hated them. His mate, Littlebird, had only become mates with him in hopes of getting him to chill. It hadn't worked.

Addercreek straight up left the Clans when Mistkit was about three moons old. Littlebird then took her to HorizonClan. Mistkit didn't hate it, per say, but she did openly dislike it.

Apprenticeship
Shortly into her apprenticeship, Mistpaw befriended a young cat around her age named Irispaw. This was good because without Irispaw, I think she would have just left the Clans.

Surprise, surprise, Irispaw died. It was kind of Mistpaw's fault. See, Irispaw came up with the idea of racing up a tree. She won, but at a cost as a hawk swooped up and carried her away. Without Irispaw, Mistpaw was totally depressed again.

Near the end of her apprenticeship, the old messenger died and Mistpaw stepped up alongside Pineclaw to be the new messenger. Sootsnow, who had tried to stay in contact with the younger cat, trained her in all her messengery ways.

Trivia

 * The character of Mistrunner was inspired by Vin from the Mistborn series
 * Mistrunner claimed a cave in HorizonClan's camp as her own. It is Mistrunner's den and no one else sleeps there.
 * She was trained as a messenger by Sootsnow.
 * She was the one who tipped Flamethorn off about Pineclaw's cheating.

Quotes
"Well, if they aren't, there's guaranteed to be some romantic wanna-be apprentice or lonely warrior looking at the stars, so I can pass it on to them."

"Hello! I don't recognize you. I'm Mistrunner, one of HorizonClan's messengers. Aww, are these your kits? So cute. Anyways, anything I can help you with?"

Whitebird: "Honestly. All I wanted was some comfrey. How did I manage to get caught up in this?"

Mistrunner: "By my usual bad luck."

"I was running messages all night, so if you need me, come wake me. It's not like I need sleep or anything."

"Heeey."

"It means I get to go home and get to sleep earlier."

"I'm fine with confusing cats. It keeps them on their toes."

"It'll be okay. I don't think anyone actually wanted me to be a messenger, but look at me now! I'm one of the most popular forms of communication."

"I think I'd rather die."

"Please. Let. Me. Die."

"She's still got that brother I 'drowned' one time."

Conversing with apprentices is a bad plan, Mistrunner.
