Rising Dawn...

Listed from most important down.

REDACTED: Unknown.

The most recent events in her life will be written at the top in descending order.

Current Task

Rising Dawn is deciding if she wants to stay in this territory and learn more about the Clans. She likes the cats she has met so far.

Arrival in the National Park

One day in Green Leaf, Rising Dawn came upon a territory that smelled of many cats. She soon found a Clan from the mountains, meeting one of their warriors, Wrenpounce, and having a cordial conversation with the tom. She travelled again and met a cat from a group similar to a Clan, the Colony, and once again moved along to meet a cat from the Clan in the burned forest, Hedgethorn.

Loner Life

For 7 moons, Rising Dawn has been travelling farther and farther from her Clan, trying to find a place to belong. She's met kittypets, loners, rogues, a badger. She travelled with some cats for a while before eventually leaving for greener pastures, not agreeing with their way of life or not finding satisfaction in their community.

Warriorhood

Rising Dawn became a warrior not long after she killed the young intruder. She was still held to high standards by her father, but he began to focus more on the other kits that Cove Pool had, trying to raise the next generation to be better than the last. She slowly began to feel othered and detached from her Clan and their harsh ways, wishing for something more loving and accepting of their own clanmates and others. After 16 moons as a warrior, she finally decided to leave the Clan after they entered a war with their neighbors, Rowanclan, over land and honor. She had no interest in trying to prove herself any longer, and she left during a battle. Cormorant's Wing tried to stop her, noticing her depature, but she left him with a terrible wound on his face and escaped.

Apprenticeship

Cormorant's Wing took Rising Dawn up as an apprentice to ensure that her training would be absolute and up to his standards. He continued to push and push Rising Dawn as much as possible, slowly wittling away at her patience. She started to grow despondent in regards to her Clan, but she wanted to please her father. Her mother pushed her far less, more of an absent presence in her life as she prepared for anothe round of kits; nothing was ever enough for Cormorant's Wing. When she grew nearer to being made a warrior, she was on patrol with Cormorant's Wing and another young cat, Beveled Nose, when they came upon a trespasser. Cormorant's Wing immediately innitiated confrontation and beat the cat down, but ordered Rising Dawn to take the killing blow on the trespasser. The cat was only young, barely even Rising Dawn's age. She didn't want to do it, but her father's words and pride pushed her. She killed the young cat. Somehow, even this did not earn her father's praises. He said she did it for all the wrong reasons, that it was a disappointing attempt.

Kithood

Rising Dawn was born to her father, Cormorant's Wing, and her mother, Cove Pool. Cormorant's Wing was a very serious and brash cat who only wanted the best for his daughter, but even from a very young age, he pushed her to be the greatest she could be. To be a good fighter, to fish well, to never let her flaws be seen.

She/Her

37 Moons

Loner/Ex-warrior of Tideclan

Rising Dawn is an odd she-cat from faraway places. Her travels have made her very non-judgemental, but she has a curious nature that many cats confuse as judgement. She wants to understand other cats and make connections. She won’t be afraid to tell you what she thinks when you ask, but not from a know-it-all perspective. She simply sees no point in lying, and she doesn’t understand any truths should not be spoken. Blunt and watchful.
