This is Brightkit (http://lonestar23swarriorcats.weebly.com/brightkit)

{Kit Age}

Brightkit always thought she was a normal kit. Playing around, having fun... but she was wrong. She's not normal. In one of her eyes, she's blind-- and while she's been aware of this for a while, she's never let it stop her. The day she becomes an apprentice is supposed to be perfect-- it's supposed to be the best day of her life, right? At least, that's what she thinks. She thinks this is going to be the greatest day of her life. On that day, she meets {she cat 1}. Now, used to making friends everywhere she goes, Brightkit greets this cat with a smile on her face. However... one thing she doesn't know about this cat is that they're mean. Evil. Evil might be a strong word for it, but they certainly aren't a nice cat.

When she greets the feline, they give her a smirk and remark on her different colored hues. She explains the problem here, and {she cat 1} gives her a look as though she's stupid. It's then that Brightkit realizes not everyone in life is going to be nice to her. She's also beginning to learn that some cats are definitely going to treat her as though she's nothing. Now, later that day she's supposed to become an apprentice. This just happens to be the day that {she cat 1} is going to become an apprentice as well. Politely, Brightkit inquires how old the she cat is. Instead of answering the question, {she cat 1} starts talking to her companion.

Not used to being ignored, Brightkit playfully pounces on the she cat's tail. Now, trying to gain the cat's attention, she nips at it lightly. {she cat 1} turns around and instantly threatens Brightkit with things that the she cat never imagined. Nervous, she backs away-- and straight into {tom 1}. He, in turn, instantly yells at her. Unused to so much hostility, Brightkit tries to escape-- and finds herself trapped by {she cat 1} and {tom 1}. Both of them start threatening her. Brightkit's happy day has turned into a nightmare... and one that she never imagined could have happened to her.

{Apprentice Age}

Now, Brightpaw has a {mentor}. Her mentor isn't that easy on her-- no, as a matter of fact, she prefers to do everything the hard way. But Brightpaw doesn't mind. She doesn't really care whether or not she has to work hard, or whether she doesn't. Now Brightpaw's learning pretty much everything she can, about things around her... but she's quickly finding out that it's harder then it looks. Especially because she only has one working eye. {Mentor} doesn't seem to care much whether she can see or not, she just wants Brightpaw to work. And work harder. And faster. And as much as she can. Brightpaw is beginning to regret ever becoming an apprentice. She's wondering if it would be better for her to leave. Enter the bullies from her past, {she cat 1} and {tom 1}. The two of them seemed to have developed quite the friendship over the past moons, and Brightpaw feels as though she's never going to be able to fit their standards of what a perfect cat is.

{She cat 1} instantly starts teasing her and looking at {tom 1} as though expecting him to join in, but he never does. Instead he looks apologetic. This surprises Brightpaw-- and gives her a spark of hope. Now, {she cat 1} looks absolutely furious and starts taunting Brightpaw even more until the feline is almost in tears. Brightpaw has never cried before. Not like this. She hasn't had a reason to... real pain was unknown to her, and she's never been bullied like this before either. Noting this, {mentor} approaches and tells {she cat 1} and {tom 1} to leave, unknowingly becoming Brightpaw's savior. Thankfully for the young female, she's almost always training. Leaving no space for her tormentors to return. Now, Brightpaw's made other friends and other enemies, and she's beginning to notice a pattern.

It seems for every enemy she makes, she makes two more friends. Though whether they're pity friends or real friends is unknown. One day, while walking out along the border, Brightpaw meets {she cat 2}. Now, having a bad experience in the past with cats from other Clans, she instantly flinches away-- but {she cat 2} looks friendly, and asks her what the matter is. Telling the whole story of what's been happening, she is surprised to learn that this cat isn't going to bully her. Instead, she looks quite friendly and after a moment, asks if she'd like to be friends. It seems Brightpaw has found a kindred spirit. But unfortunately, {mentor} spots her talking to this cat and that's the end of their friendship. Or, so she thinks.

Moons pass, and she doesn't see anything of {she cat 1} and {tom 1}. {Mentor} is teaching her more by the day, and Brightpaw is becoming better at fighting, considering her one eye. When she goes to the Gathering, she sees a cat that she remembers-- {she cat 2}. But unfortunately, {mentor} won't let her have anything to do with the cat. However, the two of them manage to make plans to meet outside the clans later that evening, when {mentor} is distracted by another cat trying to talk to her. But sadly, those plans never get carried out... and later, Brightpaw finds out that {she cat 2} was killed by a rogue while trying to leave the Clan. And unfortunately, this sends Brightpaw into a state of depression. She's used to being around death by now, sure... but she doubts she'll ever be able to accept it as a part of life.

And, things only get worse. But... there's always a ray of light in the darkness, and Brightpaw's comes in the form of {tom 2}. While some cats might know that he's a flirt, Brightpaw is completely oblivious to this fact and instantly falls for him. But, she's dumped just a moon later-- and left with a broken heart. Now realizing that this is nowhere near the glamorous life she envisioned, Brightpaw starts to cry. Her heart's been broken, and she's been toyed with until she can barely remember what it's like to be happy. Her warrior assessment comes the next day... and Brightpaw realizes that things are never going to be the same.

{Warrior Age}

So now she's a warrior. All her work paying off, Brightspirit is satisfied... and miserable. Although she still puts on a cheerful face, acting cheerful and as happy as she possibly can, she remains broken inside. And, as always... that light in the darkness begins to glow. Though her dream might have turned to a nightmare, Brightspirit tries to find her optimism once more. And, to her surprise... the last cats she would have ever expected come to apologize. {She cat 1} and {tom 1}. Thinking they're here to make fun of her, Brightspirit's response is a little harsher then she means it to be. But, instead of doing so, they both apologize. {Tom 1} sounds more sincere, but Brightspirit doesn't mind that. She's just thankful that they're here, with her. Over time, the three of them bond, and Brightspirit discovers that {she cat 1} and {tom 1} have actually become mates. While she's thrilled, at the same time, she's a little jealous. She knows she's never going to be able to find love like that.

Who wants a half blind cat for a mate?

Though Brightspirit doesn't really know whether or not she's going to find love, she's planning on at least trying sometime soon. And, another familiar face from her past shows up. {Tom 2}. Now, while Brightspirit has never been one to hold a grudge, this tom broke her heart. But it turns out, he's grown up as well... just like her bullies. And, being the only cat who was ever really kind to her, Brightspirit does her best to forgive him. He continues to stay around her, constantly asking for forgiveness and trying to be her friend, though Brightspirit ignores his advances. Her own personality has changed-- and, while she tries her best to be the light in the darkness for some cats, she also needs one... badly. {Tom 2} wants to be that for her, but not knowing his intentions? She doesn't believe him. And, in pushing him away, she's pushing away the one cat who loves her... the one cat who would have her. Though she doesn't know this. Time passes, and she doesn't see the tom any more. Thinking he's given up, she once again tries to make friends. {She cat 1} and {tom 1} are now expecting kits, and Brightspirit is elated to discover this.

However, there's only one thing they want to talk about-- {tom 2}. Ignoring their wishes, Brightspirit tries her best to turn the conversation towards them and eventually, just like the tom, they give up and change the subject. Brightspirit, thankful, heads out in the woods. Unfortunately, she doesn't see {rogue} heading right towards her... and planning on an attack. Thankfully for her, {tom 2} is walking by at the moment and stops him. If you've read this far, put Dream Turned Nightmare in the 'Code' section of your form. However, he suffers fatal injuries... and right before he dies, manages to tell Brightspirit how much he cares about her. Brightspirit, now realizing what she's done, runs back to see if there's any way to save him. The result? It's too late. She chases after {rogue}, firing angry comment after angry comment at them and then stops. It's a cat she knows. But not one that she's seen in a long, long time. A kithood friend that disappeared from the Clan. Brightspirit, stunned, stops and looks at her friend. {Rogue} looks back.

Brightspirit learns about what happened, and slowly, slowly begins to forgive {rogue}. By now, she's a much different cat then she was as a kit. And yet her optimism and friendly nature remain through everything. It's not in her nature to deny forgiveness. No matter how long it takes. She takes her friend back to the Clan, where she becomes {warrior}. Brightspirit learns about the life of a rogue. And, ultimately, ends up leaving the Clan. Leaving her friends behind, and she knows she probably won't return. Disappearing was one of the worst mistakes she could have made...

The Life of a Loner

Brightspirit doesn't know how dangerous it is to be a loner. She didn't bother to change her name, and she's decided she's going to be on her own. Traveling through the different terrains, she learns quite a bit about survival. And she's learned how to adjust with one eye. Tougher, stronger, and more intelligent then before, she's beginning to realize what a mistake she made. And, she's gathered a band of loners together to form a gang; they live in a similar way to the Clans, that being the only way she knows, but she doesn't bother having them change their names. And she doesn't base training off of ages... when she believes a cat is ready, they're put into or out of training. She has a 'second in command,' a cat who helps her decide where they should go next, but other then that, everyone is equal. Everyone fends for themselves, and pulls together when needed. It's a life that Brightspirit doesn't want to give up. {Loner 1}, on the other hand, her second in command, likes the way the Clans sound. He doesn't want to stay alone.

Ending up in an argument with him, Brightspirit breaks off with her own group-- a smaller one, with only three cats. {Loner 2}, who Brightspirit instantly loves, is always sweet and definitely acts as the sunshine of the group. {Loner 3} is their voice of reason, and a tom that Brightspirit would trust with her life. And then there's {Loner 4} who, despite her best efforts, she can't help but be falling for. {Loner 4} returns her affections, and the two of them end up as mates, which makes the feline very happy. She's pleased with her small group, but, unfortunately... where there's light, darkness always strikes. {Loner 1} comes with his own group. He and Brightspirit were in love for a short time, and he's jealous of her life with {loner 4}. So he gives her a choice.... either she can leave her mate now and go with him, or she can watch him die. But before she gets to make a choice, {loner 1} strikes. He's decided to get rid of competition once and for all, and that means getting rid of {loner 4}. The scene leaves Brightspirit stunned... and heartbroken.

She can't believe that her mate, the cat she loved more then anyone else, is gone from her now. It seems this dream, too, has turned to a nightmare. Brightspirit, unsure of what to do or say, later discovers that she's expecting kits. To give them a father, she takes on a new mate-- {Loner 3}. He accepts, but the two of them don't love each other, and they certainly aren't very close. Later, Brightspirit gives birth to {kit 1}, {kit 2}, and {kit 3}. For a short time, she's happy. Two of the kits look just like {loner 4}, while the third looks like her. {Loner 2}, by this time, is actually in love with Brightspirit's new mate; and determined to take him. So she makes up lies about Brightspirit, telling them to {loner 3} and trying to get him to leave. And, unfortunately... he does. So Brightspirit is once again alone with her kits, having to protect them on her own. Until the day when {loner 5} arrives. This cat is almost just like {loner 4}... in everything but name. Brightspirit gave her kits loner names, and he's stunned to find that she has a Clan name.

He too, is a former Clan cat. And, while his personality is very similar to that of {loner 4}, he couldn't be more different at the same time. Brightspirit slowly begins to develop feelings for this tom as well. It's risky, but she ends up taking him on as her third and final mate. She's made up her mind that this is her final light, and when it is snuffed, she'll be snuffed out with it. The five of them live together somewhat happily, and while Brightspirit will never really get over the death of {loner 4}, she's learning to trust her new mate.

So! That's the plot... there is no set choosing date yet, and this is NOT first come, first serve. Feel free to make a new character if you don't have one available! I have no preference as to whether the character is new or pre-made. Down below is the form for either one, as well as all the roles (so you aren't frantically scrolling through this insanely long plot)
