VISUAL - - Sunstreak is full grown she-cat Warrior with a pelt like the bark of trees and eyes like the forest leaves, both of which seemed to be touched by the sun, lightening her tones and making them appear softer. She has lighter shades of creamy highlights and darker streaks of fur rippling along her bulky sturdy figure. Her fur is soft but often coated with a thin layer of earth. Her dull white claws and fangs are long and powerful, and her white whiskers are long and thick.
Pelt – Her doubled layered coat is short but dense and very soft despite often being layered in a thin covering of dust and earth. Her fur is an interesting blend of gray and brown, which seem to mingle together in a perfect blend, allowing her color to match the bark of trees. Nothing about her seems to match her name, except maybe her lighter almost creamy highlights of fur which streak over her body like gentle beams of light. She has feint thin darker strips of fur matching the ridges of bark.
Built – She is a bit on the smaller side when compared to her clanmates yet she is still just as well muscled as any other Warrior. Her sturdy body is more bulky then lean, particularly around her shoulders, back and hind legs. Her legs are strong and her large paws allow her to climb and maneuver through the forest with ease. Her long tail offers her excellent balance and remarkable agility yet her figure is poorly suited for overall speed or long battles. She is powerful and formidable but only for a short while.
Eyes – Her eyes match the pale light green of the foliage sheltering her clan, giving her a very lively and even forceful stare. She isn’t afraid to let her thoughts or feelings show in her gaze, nor is she one to avert her eyes or look away from a challenge. Her eyes reflect her determination and vigorous drive for greater things, they even revel that small spark of her reckless and impulsive nature. Yet despite how wild her eyes can appear they can be soft and welcoming as well.
PERSONALITY - - She has a very hot and cold personality, meaning that she can easily switch between one nature to another both of which will seem very unlike the other. On one paw she can be the most agreeable and passive cat one would ever meet, but on the other paw she can be the most headstrong and violent cat that anyone would have the misfortune of angering. She knows when and how to have a good time and let things pass her by, but she also knows when it’s time to get serious and straight to the point. She believes that justice is more important than mercy and that there are times when rules have to be broken as well as times when sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. She loves thrill seeking, and telling scary stories and getting close to other cats, but she will also be looking for ways to better herself and overcome her weak points; she wants to become stronger and be able to protect her clan. She has her opinions and she isn’t afraid to let them be heard, making her bold and assertive. She will rarely accept if she is wrong and if things would ever turn for the worse then this very proud and confident she-cat may fall apart.
Within the Clan – When relaxed and at ease she is usually a very easy going she-cat and she is quite fun-loving, content to either laze around or play games but it’s telling stories that she really enjoys, particularly scary stories late at night. She can be very mischievous and adventurous, keen on finding a thrilling or daring challenge or poking a bit of fun on her clanmates. Not much will bother her and she won’t hesitate to try and put a companion at ease if she every sees them in distress; she likes keeping the peace. Probably the most distinguished trait about her, though, is her fondness to get close and cosy with her clanmates. She welcomes an “open relationship” and she will often comfort and support felines just as a mate would; she simply wants to love and be loved, and she feels that as long as no harm is being done then everything should be fine. She will be fine sharing a partner as long as no harm can come of it and she will often pursue a partner regardless of gender or their ties, though she usually sticks to cats close to her age and within her clan. Yet whatever the situation she can jump into a very serious mode and turn into a very different cat when the time calls for it.
Outside the Clan – When the going gets tough the tough get going; this she-cat knows when to get serious and how to stand up for herself and what she sees as right. She tends to focus on what needs to be done and will rarely rest until she sees it through to the end, being incredibly relentless and undeniably determined and dedicated. It won’t take much for her to get riled up and she can be quite aggressive, to the point when she won’t hesitate to draw her claws and leap into a fight without hesitation. Even though she is very quick witted and sharp she is usually very rash and even unpredictable, rushing to one extreme to the next often without slowing down to think about the consequences. When she steps into her serious mode she is somehow able to cut off all ties and will view everything without being prejudice; which makes her seem very cold and distant to cats who she has gotten close to. She will usually come across as untrusting and very hostile to cats outside of her clan. She is able to think in even the most chaotic of situations though the outcome may not seem as favourable to others as it would to her, since she believes that sometimes sacrifices must be made.

HABITS - - Her habits won’t often change unless she is truly under a lot of stress and turmoil.
Sleeping – She prefers a nice warm and cozy nest close to a place where she can easily breathe in fresh crisp air. She will often make her nest with a generous amount of moss and feathers, sometimes adding grass to help retain its shape, though most wouldn’t be able to detect any sort of “shape”, since her nest is usually a strange blend of dips and mounds. She likes to nestle herself in her bedding and will often be seen sleeping under a thick layer of moss, her legs stretched out. She will rarely dream.
Eating – She is almost always seen thoroughly enjoying her meal whatever it may be, but she particularly enjoys feasting on squirrels and most other rodents. She loves eating birds but she will usually avoid the smaller ones, seeing them as more feather and bone then meat. She will eat with vigor and almost ravenous bites, chomping down her food without seeming to pause and savor the taste.

ATTRIBUTES
Strengths – Her agility, reflexes and stubborn streak as well as her vigilance are what make her stand out most during times of need. She can use her strengths to their greatest potential and her dedication and passionate sense of justice lets her carry on when everything seems lost. She is gifted in climbing and digging and is always trying to improve on herself in one way or another. She is attentive and quick witted.
Weakness' – Compared to her clanmates she is a bit on the small side, much to her distress but she doesn’t let that hold her back… however it does force her to realize her short comings; she can’t hit as hard or last as long in battles as her fellow Warriors. Her greatest downfall is her asthma. A great deal of dust, smoke or physical exertion will lead to a shortness of breath and a fit of coughing. She hates her weaknesses and they will often plunge her into a small period of depression or aggression.
Fears – Nothing seems to bring this she-cat any real terror though she does hold the usual fear that all creatures hold. Any threat will cause her fear but seldom enough to hold her back or stop her in any way. However, due to her first experience in the wild, she has developed a terrible fear of snakes.
Recovery - [7/10] She is quite gifted at righting herself from a throw or a fall and can quickly regain her composure. She won’t hesitate to pick herself right back up and jump back into the fray, able to ignore whatever pain or fear she may be experiencing. She doesn’t get easily disoriented either.
Attack - [5/10] She is lucky if she can land a hit as hard as the average feline, though it rarely will discourage her. She is not very strong and she realizes this, so she will always try to get stronger through relentless training exercises. If need be she will be able to rely on other means to best access her strength.
Accuracy - [6/10] Her eyesight is strong and sharp, but it’s her poor paw-to-eye coordination that causes her to lack in proper accuracy. She finds it a bit difficult to get her footing just right to land a decent blow, but there are times when she can get lucky.
Defense - [8/10] She has remarkable reflexes and this is a big asset to her defense, allowing her to deflect attacks and protect herself and others effectively. She is very good in taking hits if she has to, making her endurance appear remarkable and very daunting; certainly not something to underestimate.
Skill - [8/10] Her skillful grace and battle knowledge enables her to learn attacks and easily perform them during battle. She can use her claws and fangs with outstanding tenacity and ferocity. She can instinctively move her body to evade her foe and attack with great efficiency.
Speed - [7/10] She can’t move very fast when running on an open terrain, but in the forest she can easily use the landscape to her advantage and run with amazing agility and confidence, however she can’t run for very long and will slow down to a grinding halt. She is best suited for short bursts of speed.

HISTORY - - Sun was an only kit born to a Thunderclan descendant she-cat named Red Leaf and a Rogue tom named Ray. She was raised with two different sets of beliefs and she was constantly left confused and bewildered. Bark Wood, her uncle, felt more like a father then Ray did but even so Sun eagerly looked forward to Ray’s lessons. She was unaware of a strange order among the rogues of the Twoleg place or the rumors of clans being reborn in the forest. During a chaotic mass of confusion she and Bark Wood escaped to the forest where they eventually became separated. Sun found Treeclan and was somehow able to prove herself to them, yet do her clanmates truly accept the rogue side of her?
Heritage – Red Leaf and Bark Wood were raised with stories of their ancestors and were taught many morals followed by great the Warriors of Thunderclan, but they only had a vague understanding of the way things used to be for their ancestors for there was only so much that their parents could recall from the stories passed down from each generation. I time finally came when Red Leaf and Bark Wood’s parents pushed them away to find their own place in the world. The two traveled until they found themselves in the heart of a Twoleg Place and there they met a street-smart tom by the name of Ray. The rogue never spoke of his past, in fact he rarely spoke at all and it was very difficult to read him; he was always distant and always spoke in a “matter of fact” way. He taught the two Thunderclan descendants and looked after them and Red Leaf became smitten with him. Soon she was pleased to find out that she was expecting kits and Bark Wood was overjoyed at the thought of being an uncle.
Kithood – Only one kit was born and though Red Leaf and Bark Wood were overjoyed, Ray seemed disappointed; and they realized it was because he had hoped for a tom-kit. He requested that the kit be named Sun and Red Leaf complied. Ray looked after his mate and kit, but lately he seemed to be distancing himself even more than ever… and Bark Wood became suspicious. He followed the rogue and saw that he was involved in a strange hierarchy with the other rogues and loners; Bark Wood did what he could to learn more, but his first and foremost concern was to Sun and he devoted most of his time to helping raise her. Sun never really saw Ray as a father but her uncle seemed to fill that space easily so she never felt deprived of anything. She was well fed and played with by her loving mother and uncle. She would venture out at night frequently and thought herself brave and independent, though she never found out that her uncle was almost always watching her.
Adolescence – Sun’s father came to her and invited her out to hunt… she readily accepted and was thrilled to learn so much from Ray, but he taught her other things as well… things that seemed to go directly against everything her mother and uncle taught her. She grew up terribly confused as to what was right and what was wrong, until eventually she picked out the teachings she deemed right from both her mother and father. During a hunting outing Ray and Sun witnessed a scrawny rogue threatened a small group of young cats who looked very similar to Ray. The tom attacked the rogue and killed him instantly, later explaining to Sun that it had to be done; he saved a greater number of younger cats against a low life tom who had already lived a full life, it also allowed food to go around more easily. Sun came to the harsh realization that there are times when sacrifices had to be made. After several moons had passed, Red Leaf grew concerned for her only kit who hadn’t come home for over two days. She and Bark Wood went out searching, and it was then that he finally told his sister about what he learned about Ray. The two had heard rumors about clans being forged in the forest and they felt compelled to go there and they came to the decision to go. The two found Sun and Ray and they explained their plan, which Ray instantly refused but it was at that moment when Twolegs attacked. The cats were driven down an ally were Red Lead was suddenly captured in a strange metal log, Bark Wood would have risked his life for her but she insisted that he left her and brought her daughter to the clans. During the confusion Bark Wood drew Sun away from the other Rogues and lead her to the wilderness outside of the Twoleg place.
Warrior Moons – Sun became a full grown cat during her travels out of the city and into the forests and plains. Her uncle deemed her a Warrior but Sun couldn’t be so sure about that. She felt confused once more as to what it was she should be destined to do. Quite a few moons went by as the two cats struggled to survive, relying on Bark Woods rusty knowledge and skills that he was taught so long ago. They wandered around feeling lost yet determined. Bark Wood taught Sun a great deal of things and the two often learned something together as well. Sun slowly felt like she belonged in the forest, eventually finding an almost instinctual footing among the shrubs and shadowed shelter among the trees. A fox attack separated Sun from Bark Wood and the two never saw each other again. Sun spent several days looking for her uncle until she realized that the best course of action was to find these newly established clans. She carried on her way and was soon face to face with cats from a group known as Treeclan. She was able to join them and within a few moons she proved herself a worthy enough cat to be deemed a Warrior.
SAMPLE
Like thunder tearing through the dark shadows around them, the shrieks of twolegs and felines alike seemed to tremble the very earth, as tall figures sprinted toward the terrified cats. Sun sprung away and bolted down a cold alleyway following the scent of her father, Ray, but she froze in her tracks and spun around when she heard the familiar screech of her mother. She watched with widened green eyes as her uncle raced to Red Leaf throwing himself against the metal webbed log she was trapped inside, but only a few seconds had passed when he tore himself away and raced toward Sun.

Like thunder tearing through the dark shadows around them, the shrieks of twolegs and felines alike seemed to tremble the very earth, as tall figures sprinted toward the terrified cats. Sun sprung away and bolted down a cold alleyway following the scent of her father, Ray, but she froze in her tracks and spun around when she heard the familiar screech of her mother. She watched with widened green eyes as her uncle raced to Red Leaf throwing himself against the metal webbed log she was trapped inside, but only a few seconds had passed when he tore himself away and raced toward Sun.
She was rooted into place, paralyzed as she watched her mother swipe at the walls to her cage. All the sounds around her seemed to have faded... grown dull and far away as if she was submerged in her disbelief and fear. She was violently snapped out of her daze when her uncle, Bark Wood shoved her aside and guided her away. The two ran side by side as they escaped the chaos behind them, their pelts brushing against each other.
Sun couldn't erase that image from her mind... her mother was trapped and alone... and they just left. She bit her lip and clamped her eyes shut, letting Bark Wood lead her away, as her father's words rang through her thoughts: 'There are some that must take the fall so that others can carry on. That is the way of the world.'
The young she-cat awoke with a start and gazed around herself in a mild daze of sleep induced confusion. Where was she? She gazed at the tall grass around her and blinked in an absent stare as a strange bug buzzed past her nose. Her large ears quivered when she heard an odd sound... something she'd never heard before. A spark of terror ran through her body, spiking her grey brown fur and causing her to leap to her feet.
She swung one way and saw a long legless body curled up before her, it's head raised threateningly and it's four fangs bared as a hiss escaped it's throat. She felt a tremor of fear pulse through her and she attempted to back away as a whimper trembled over her tongue. What was it?! Then it lashed out, it's mouth opened wide, and she let out a shrill squeal.
At that moment her uncle seemed to fall from the sky and land on the fearsome creature, his jaws clamping down on it's neck as it's scaly body wrapped tightly around his legs. Sun watched mute and frozen in place as the reptile went limp and it's black cold eyes fogged over. She had never seen such an alien being that could move without legs and live without possessing a trace of warmth... and it seemed to have no fear; what power did it possess that enabled it to challenge a foe so much larger then itself? It was an adder... a snake that carried poison within their fangs, able to kill a cat with even a single bite. The two cats would have to carry on soon or risk stumbling upon a nest of adders.
Sun padded alongside her savoir glancing at him from time to time, admiring his skill, knowledge and bravery, but still she felt troubled and unnerved by the snake who could have easily taken her life away. She was assured that they do not hunt cats or anything much bigger then a duck egg... so if she kept her distance from snakes they would cause her no harm... yet she found little comfort in that knowledge and instead tried to take solace in Bark Wood's favorite phrase: 'Keep going for the good times ahead.'
