Description

Personality

[/i]

It is a well known fact that Ivytooth is a very impulsive and, at times, vengeful, cat. Truthfully, she just wants what's best for her clan. She wants the wars to stop, she wants her kit to be able to grow up peacefully, she wants there to be no more orphans. She wants a lot of things and, one way or another, Ivytooth is determined to help make these things happen. She has a rather strong sense of “justice” and, when she feels that justice isn't being served, she'll take it into her own paws. She's often gone out of her way to torment another cat as “punishment” and though she's never gone as far to harm them, some cats often feel harassed by her constant pushing. If she wants answers, she'll push, if she wants you to confess what you did, she'll push. She can be a kind cat, really but, she's very “pushy” about her views. Pushy and vocal, at least.

She can be bitter about quite a lot of things, too. Bitter to Thornclaw, resentful to her patrol for not finding her in time... She'll forgive them, over time. But, it will take some time, for Ivytooth wounds take forever to heal.

She's compassionate and loyal, to those she views deserves these feelings and, can either be your best friend or a nasty cat to be around. She has a knack for dealing with kits and, her fiercely protective nature for them often make her kits' favorite cat to be around. Everyone knows that if there's an apprentice or warrior you don't like, just go tell Ivytooth they've been bullying you. She'll take care of it. The one cat she's the most protective about, however, is her own kit. StarClan forbid you bully her, bother her or anything because, well, she will go after you.

She'll tear you apart.

So far, Ivytooth has been trying to uphold the warrior code, she views it as a good set of rules and, agrees with most of them. (And, if you asked, she'll say it's her code to live by.) But, truthfully, Ivytooth feels that the warrior code, while it is a very good set of rules, does not uphold “justice” the way she feels justice should be upheld. Not to mention, her clanmates' near lack of care for the warrior code and justice often leaves Ivytooth frustrated and angry.

She's frustrated by most things, actually.

Frustrated by the wars, frustrated by the orphans, frustrated by the lack of justice.

These feelings of frustration often leave Ivytooth angry though, she bottles it up well enough.

Well enough until it explodes in a violent rage, though.

These “rages” however, are rare and she tries to keep them under check. You can tell when they're coming though, because her temper will begin to drop and she'll begin to snap at the littlest of things.

All in all, Ivytooth is a good cat.

Sometimes though, she treads a thin line...

A very, very thin line.[/ul]

History

[/i] came into play.

Throughout their apprenticeship these four cats stuck together, Thornpaw becoming their little ring-leader with Ivypaw as his “die-for-him” partner.

Once the war with ThunderClan started, Ivypaw and her three friends were made warriors, perhaps too early, in some cases. Ivytooth, Littlespot, Tansycloud, and Thornclaw all became respected members of the clan, or, as respected as newly-made warriors could be and, were thrown out into the fray. Littlespot died in the battle, leaving the group of friends mourning and shell-shocked. Before the war ended their group was nearly completely destroyed, Littlespot dead, Tansycloud left mutilated and blinded, and Thornclaw, distant and silent.

He pushed himself away from Ivytooth, leaving the she-cat just about completely alone.

Her mother was already dead, her best friend didn't want her anymore.

And this battle that had caused it all, there had been no winnings from it.

They won no territory, no new borders.

The battle had no point and, this realization left Ivytooth feeling angry and frustrated with the world. Angry with her leader and deputy, the she-cat pushed herself away from most warriors and instead turned her attention on the kits and apprentices who had lost family members into the battle. She spent every moment she could trying to befriend said kits and apprentices though, once the clan began to train for their attack on RiverClan, Ivytooth found herself unable to really find time to talk to them.

So, she began to skirmish on her duties, instead leaving to do as she pleased. She trained her apprentice, a strapping she-cat named Frostpaw, occasionally and, despite not spending enough time with her, Ivytooth managed to make Frostpaw into a warrior before the RiverClan battle. Truthfully, it is perhaps only sheer luck that Ivytooth survived the attack on RiverClan while her old apprentice died or, perhaps she only survived so she could manage to save Thornclaw during the battle.

After said rescue and the consequential winning of some of RiverClan's territory, Ivytooth and Thornclaw's friendship began to mend itself and, something akin to a mutual understanding grew between them, and, Ivytooth regained her best friend once more. And Thornclaw, well, he gained back his "sister" and an aunt for his kits. These kits were lucky, only becoming old enough to become apprentices a moon after the attack on RiverClan. Ivytooth was given the only male of these four kits as an apprentice, a cute thing named Goldenpaw. Ivytooth trained the tom to the best of her abilities and, slowly, began making a name for herself within the clan. Training Thornclaw's son brought Ivytooth and her old friend closer, and, despite the looks they received from others, they stayed nothing more then close friends.

Training Goldenpaw was a bit of a handful but, Ivytooth managed it. One day, however, Goldenpaw wound up missing and, Ivytooth, thinking he decided to play hooky, went off by herself to find him. Looking back, this was a very bad idea. Ivytooth ended up being attacked by a vengeful RiverClan cat (his mate had died in the battle between ShadowClan and RiverClan, long ago) and, consequently, forcefully "taken" by the tom. A ShadowClan patrol, on the look out for Ivytooth and Goldenpaw, found the she-cat after the RiverClan tom and brought her back. Goldenpaw was found a few days later, his leg sprained and his father, Thornclaw took over his son's training once it healed. Ivytooth and Thornclaw's friendship died out, Thornclaw blaming her for his son's injury and because of Ivytooth's resentment towards the patrol who found her too late. Roughly two moons after this incident, Ivytooth gave birth to a tiny kit. She was named Ashkit and, Ivytooth tried to raise the little kit the best she could. This proved hard though, for Ashkit was born with only three legs. She was able to start up her warrior duties a moon early, when Ashkit was five moons old and, she returned determined and, a bit resentful. She felt pretty bad for leaving her it early, especially since her daughter would never be a warrior, something the little kit wanted desperately.

Her rather impulsive behavior (more so then before), however, left most cats with a bad taste in their mouth after speaking to the she-cat. She was nice sure but, her impulsive and “take-everything-personally” attitude was sure to get her into trouble, eventually.

None the less, she continued on and, only a few days ago, after Longstar's death and Rainstar was made leader, Ivytooth was actually chosen to become deputy.

...

Well, hopefully, she can do a good job.[/ul]

Roleplay Example

[/i]. She could see glimpses of him in everything but, she hid the fear well.

But bottling it up would do no good, she would learn that in due time when she lashed out at some poor apprentice.

But, for now, she knew nothing of this and continued on.

”Branchtail, Lilypaw, Goldenfang, Daisyfur, you're on dawn border patrol, hurry it up!”[/ul][/size]
