Brindle is a young molly who has always had an affinity for going beyond her limits. She was the daughter of two parents who wandered alone, without any affiliation. Her parents never told her much about their past, and little does she know her father's mother was also a ShadowClan warrior by the name of Embergaze. Embergaze had a relationship with a loner, and when the kits were birthed, she never wanted her Clan to find out and ran away for a few moons, eventually handing the kits over to her mate. She went back to her Clan with absurd claims of how she had been taken hostage by a fox, and she stayed in ShadowClan, alone, until she died of Greencough. Brindle's father survived, being raised by the rogue, and the other kit died. Brindle does not know Embergaze's name, nor did her father ever speak of any Clans. When she was 10 moons old her mother was captured and taken as a kittypet by the humans, and her father just disappeared into the night soon after. Brindle spent her time alone in the forest as a young molly, just trying to survive and get through the day without being starved or attacked. Enclosed in solitude, she spent most her time with the flowers and trees and stems, playing with them, eating some, and even talking with them when she got extremely bored. She grew an aptitude, for these plants were the only things she ever interacted with. She was a nomad, journeying from place to place barely escaping the claws of death. Eventually she crossed the border of ShadowClan at the age of 13 moons, and refusing to let the longer go free, she became one in their ranks. She was raised and trained for 5 moons, and finally was accepted as a full warrior. Her affinity for plants never died away, though, and warriors often get annoyed being on a patrol with her for she is always wandering off or talking to herself.

Kind | Quiet | Grateful | Respectful | Intelligent
Brindle is a relatively quiet cat, only talking when she needs to because she is not very skilled in having conversations with others who actually speak in return. Usually when reprimanded she will stay quiet and rather sullen for a while, since when older cats talk to her she gets scared very easily. She is always willing to help others and harbors a great deal of gratitude towards her adoptive Clan. She loves seeing the happiness of others and tries to promote that within her Clan, even though ShadowClan has quite a "dark" reputation she hopes that someday they can overcome that and be appreciated just like all the other Clans. She is respectful of Daydream and understands that not every cat is filled with sunshine, and sometimes it just takes a little longer to be uncovered in some cats than others.

Detached | Fidgety | Indecisive
Brindle has a darker side to her, but she hasn't experienced much of life so most of it relates to her not knowing how to interact with other Clan members. She is often found spacing out and rather detached from society, and finds herself having a hard time answering simple questions like "How are you?" and "Are you feeling alright?". She doesn't understand much about herself and her own feelings and finds comfort in solitude, or in company of those who she really trusts. Due to lack of communication she often finds herself with a built-up amount of energy and may snap with words or fidget with whatever is nearby, making her even further disconnected from other cats her age. She has a hard time making decisions and often seeks the advice of those around her or anyone she believes can lead her to the right conclusion.

Some extra questions~

How would she react to Daydream?: Since Brindle has just been introduced to cats of all types in ShadowClan, she has had to learn very quickly that everyone is different and everyone will have varying personalities. Since her father abandoned her in a way, as long as a cat is not straight-out cruel she is probably able to ignore their dourness and see the good in them, which is what she does with Daydream. As long as she is accepted for who she is, she will accept anyone else for who they are, too.
Does she believe in StarClan?: StarClan is a new concept to Brindle, so she doesn't exactly know whether she believes it or not. But since she used to have nothing, no beliefs, the thought that there are starry cats above her and helping her through her journey is most certainly a concept that comforts her, and she would have no problem looking up to them for guidance if she is unable to provide her own - it's better than nothing, if they actually exist.
Opinions on love?: Brindle does not really understand love and relationships, and she doesn't know if she believes that love exists at all. She never saw much love within her parents for they left and didn't showcase much of their relationship, and just acted as distant friends who had to share custody of a kit. Being alone, her parents didn't quite understand love, either. When Brindle sees relationships within the Clan, they give her hope, but there's always a nagging voice in the back of her mind that makes her speak against it, about how soon enough it will fall apart anyways.
