Birdsong

Birdsong

Still, soft quietly spoken voice
That persistently calls my name

xx warm-blooded vertebrate of the class Aves, having a body covered with feathers, forelimbs modified into wings, scaly legs, a beak, and no teeth, and bearing young in a hard-shelled egg
xx Female
xx 20 moons
xx Eclipse Clan
xx Warrior

And quickens my heart to come
And I come

Birdsong has a round shaped head. She has large, round, green eyes. Her right ear has a small notch in it from a previous fight. The other ear is unharmed. She is a smaller cat and has a thin body. Her black tail is long, the fur silky and smooth. Her legs are short of course. Yet they are still quite helpful. Her muscles are strong despite her size.
Birdsong has little paws, but longer claws. They are near always sharpened. Her paws are the same color as the rest of her-black. The soft and smooth black pelt serves as a way of camouflage in the dark of night. The midnight black is only tampered with when her eyes come into play. Birdsong has a scar along her side that is hidden well by her pelt. She also has a few scars on her face, but none of them are noticeable.

And I rest in the shelter of your love
And I rest in the wonder of your grace

She is a shy character and a quiet soul. Most of the time that is. She is not afraid to fight and can be fierce when she wants to be. Overall though, she will help when needed and does not mind caring for kits. She is kind hearted and respectful of others and often feels as though she is selfish. Birdsong is often in a happy mood and will act normally. It is unknown if she inherited these traits or not.
However, if she's in a bad mood-she shouldn't be messed with. She is extremely temperamental when she's angered. Her caring and kind nature leaves, replaced with frustration and a wanting to fight or be alone. This also occurs when she is sad. She will be solitary for awhile.

And I rest in the shelter of your love
And I rest in the wonder of you

Birdsong's parents met when both joined the Eclipse Clan. Both were Warriors and found they had similar interests. Birdsong's mother was a gifted hunter and her father a fighter. They did not interact much with each other at first. But after a fight, Birdsong's mother was impressed with the black tom. They eventually did fall in love. The black she-cat and the black tom became mates. Soon, they had kits.
The birth of these kits was a normal one. Five kits were born on that warm autumn day. Birdsong's mother loved her kits, as did Birdsong's father. Both were caring and kind, protective and ready to fight. They were very good parents.
Birdsong grew up with four siblings. She was the youngest, which could explain her size. She had three sisters and one brother. The brother went off on his own after learning to hunt and was never seen again. The three girl kits did not make it through the winter. Birdsong is the only one of her sibling to stay with the clan.
Birdsong's father abandoned the clan and the family many moons ago. Her mother was killed when crossing the Thunder Road.
Growing up wasn't so bad for Birdsong. With three sisters dead after a few months, she and her brother had the full attention of her parents and clan. Though well fed, she remained her small sized. She was originally Birdkit and always seemed to have a fondness for birds. Her mother was her hero. She would often try and mimic the movements of her. This often resulted in her falling in the dirt. Her father, before he left, would teach Birdsong's remaining sibling the tricks of the trade. Birdsong was not close to her brother at all. When they grew up together, they fought many times.
After becoming 6 moons old, Birdsong was apprentice to a Warrior cat in the Eclipse clan. She then learned the finer skills of becoming a hunter. She learned how to stalk prey quietly, to lie low to the grass and then pounce. She showed promising signs of becoming a Warrior. Months of play fighting her brother and the acquired excellent hunting skills made for quick learning and success.

Embraced in the promise of you
Is rest for the weary soul

Birdsong crouched in the tall grass of the wild meadow. It hid her well. The sun was hidden behind clouds that drifted slowly. She turned her attention back to the task at hand-catching prey. She stared intently at it, waiting for the right moment. It was merely a little mouse, but it would do. She crept closer to it. It sat in the grass only a few feet away. Quiet, quite, gotcha! She pounced forward and caught the squealing gray creature.
Birdsong looked around for any sign of another cat. She saw none and devoured the mouse. She had not eaten in awhile and was beginning to feel tired. She was lucky enough to find the clueless mouse.
But what would her clan say when she brought no food? Perhaps I can find a rabbit around here, she thought. She turns away from the bones of the mouse and goes in search of a rabbit.
