Purrks: The Collector and Go with the flow ]
She knew it wasn't going ro stop and possibly worsen, but she coukd handle it now. Those little insecurites were gone. Every cat had to work hard and if it meant to go through struggles then thats how things would be. She was willing to to fight any struggles that came to her. Even if she had to tear them all down one by one.
"Those fish haven't made me soft. If anything I am more determined than anything to show that I'm not weak and I'm not soft. I might have accidently betrayed you once, but I swear to the Dark Forest and back I'll never betray you again. I will fight to prove to you you can trust me. Even if I have to be beaten or broken down I'll fight to prove to you. ", she started. The flame in her eyes that had once extinguished lit up once again.
Marigoldleap felt the whole forest could burn with that fire she felt in her eyes. She was going to do better. She was going to go back to the way she once was. If she had to flay any fish she saw she do it if she was asked to. Thats how dedicated she was to come back. She would not disapoint a second time. "I know its not going to change, but I will not break down again when time gets tough. Thats what clan life is. We have to fight even if it's tough. Its part of living out here. I'll do better. I'll grow. I'll be the loyal cat I used to be. That cat has not left. I will fight everyday to prove to you I can be trusted. I can fight to to prove to you I won't run away again. I'll face my problems head on and squash every single one until there is none left. I will not disapoint you a second time. I swear on my life. I will not crumble I will not fall. ", Marigoldleap added, her voice showcased how much she was willing to fight for her position back in Shadowclan.
Even if she had to slaughter any cat to get that trust she do it with no hesitation. She learned from those mistakes and she was going to do better even if it meant to work hard to gain that trust back. She was not willing to lay down and give up.

She dug her claws into the earth rooting herself in anger while trying to calm her nerves.
The word of disappointment was met with a disgruntal glare. Yes, Dawnstar was aware that she was a bit harder on her kin, but she didn't think she was much harder on them than she was on her clanmates. If she had a mouse for every cat she looked at with disappointment ShadowClan would never go hungry. Her job was to push her clan to meet her expectations and then go beyond them, otherwise they got lazy and content. If she ran away from home every time, she disappointed Icestar she wouldn't be where she was right now.
Where the hell was the fire to improve and do better? Though it was true she hadn't meant to hurt the she-cat, the fact that her family train by Icestar broke so easily was bothersome. Icestar must have gotten softer with her training after Dawnstar. The leader forgot how fragile cats could be when it came to pressure, so many end up crumbling and breaking in time anyway, like her dear cousin. Few could withstand it, Lostspark was among those few and she was her daughter, not her cousin.
"That pressure you felt, the disappointment, it's not going to stop nor change. If anything, it's going to increase and worsen. The judgment harsher, the eyes meaner, yet you still want to return to ShadowClan. How am I supposed to trust that you won't buckle and flee again? I've given you my trust before and you broke it." Dawnstar still didn't think she was all that harsh on her cousin when she disappeared, Dawnstar could only imagine how soft being with fish had made her now.
My word, it was a female Vulturefang! She flirted like him, had his arrogance, and everything. Let's see if she could fight like him too. Dawnstar needed a replacement for him, as he had served as a replacement for Grimhound. It was funny how alike some of these outsiders were.
Her claws missed their mark, and she was left scratching mostly air. She paid no attention to the nick left in the cat's ear; it was nothing compared to the damage that she wanted to do. Her head snapped in her opponent's direction as she slipped out from underneath the brown tabby, smoothly, and launched herself at Dawnstar's flank.
The Queen of Mean didn't resist as her claws touched her flank, the leader's body loose and limp beneath the paws. Dawnstar hit the ground, hoping the momentum of the molly's attack would carry her forward and trip her up so the leader could slip out from underneath her. If it worked, Dawnstar would be upright, seeking to jump on the outsider's back, fangs aimed to nip at her scuff and claws digging into the stranger's shoulder.
Dawnstar bore her fangs but listened briefly as she mentioned that weird cat by the name of Soup, Dogpaw now. Dawnstar still thought that one got in on a flunk, she had no idea what her Enforcers were thinking letting the cat. "Just because I took your family in doesn't mean that I have to take you in," Dawnstar growled still touchy about how loud the outsider had been. "You don't look like anything worth my time, so stop wasting it and get."
[Just moving the original rp to here]
Dawnstar didn't seem all that impressed at how silent the cat was being. She wasn't giving any indication of anything, although she appeared young she wasn't young enough to not comprehend what was being said to her. Regardless, Dawnstar didn't feel like wasting her time with the cat. "Get back over to ThunderClan's border, I'm not dealing with accusations of kitnapping you. Move or I'll toss you back over myself."
"Fine, fine..." Aries mumbled, padding off. She seemed very sad about the fact she couldn't be with Shadowclan.

nettlekit she-cat – she/her - 5 moons
the collector[active!]
Nettlekit jumped back fearfully.
She was terrified of going back to Thunderclan.
Never liked it, she did.
Shaking her head furiously, she attempted to gesture to go back to Shadowclan.
It was very badly done, but probably understandable to an extent.
Name: Thorn
Age: 20 moons
Gender: female
Rank Request: paw
New Name: Thornpaw or something suitable. Definitely not Silverpaw
Reason for Joining: Thorn tried to join riverclan but that didn't end well as she got chased out. She would try to join next clan she encounters which is shadowclan.
Thorn would give her pelt a lick as she strayed inside shadowclan territory. Unknown to her she would be heading in the direction of the camp. Moving slowly her patchy black and brown fur would cling to her frame as she walked. Her scent would be a mix of twoleg Place, crowfoot, blood and riverclan. Flicking her tail she would sniff around going to try for something to eat.

Her claws made their mark, latching into the other she-cat's flank with ease. She began to clamber her way up, opening her maw wide in preparation to sink her teeth into Dawnstar's shoulder. But her opponent had other plans. Dawnstar used Astrid's momentum against her, tipping sideways and flinging the smaller molly with her.
"Wheeeee!" Astrid exclaimed giddily as she rotated around the axis of Dawnstar's torso. She unlatched her claws from their clutch in the tabby pelt as they hit the ground in unison, using the momentum of the fall to roll a tail-length away. Both she-cats rose to their paws once more, but Astrid was angled away from the leader. Dawnstar pounced, and instead of attempting to move out of the way, Astrid flipped over on her back as the larger cat crashed down on her. Dawnstar's paws were heavy on her shoulders, but Astrid's muscled hind legs were free to pummel at the tabby's unprotected tummy, while her teeth were positioned to clash with hers.
"This is cozy," she rasped under the weight of the larger fighter, not letting up on her fast paced kicks. Hopefully this would give Dawnstar two options, unless Astrid was missing something: get the frick off her chest or engage in a battle of the fangs.

Even if she had to slaughter any cat to get that trust she do it with no hesitation. She learned from those mistakes and she was going to do better even if it meant to work hard to gain that trust back. She was not willing to lay down and give up.
Her amber orbs hardened with distrust and scrutiny as her cousin proclaimed that she'd do better, and fight to earn her place within ShadowClan again. Did Dawnstar believe her? Nope, not in the slightest even with all that determination burning in her eyes now, flames dwindle. She's learned repeatedly that those who don't know how to keep that flame kindled go up in smoke.
She watched cats do so again and again and again. They speak of their goals and aspirations but when the real hard stuff comes they crumble like dirt underneath her paws. This one had done it once and she'd do it again, Dawnstar had little hope or faith in her. It made more sense to let her go, but unlike the other cats she'd turn away without a second thought, the traitor had full medical knowledge. She was a fully trained medicine cat.
Those were hard to come by, ShadowClan was lucky to have two with a third in training. Dawnstar didn't need her, but having three fully trained cats with medical knowledge would give ShadowClan an advantage over the other clans. She wasn't interested in setting herself up for disappointment again, personally. Yet, she was all for ensuring ShadowClan stood above the clans as much as possible.
She released a loud hiss of frustration and paced the edge of the border, claws unsheathed and powerful muscles flexing beneath her scarred pelt. Dawnstar didn't want her in the clan but could she pass this up? She already knew the answer. Dawnstar swung her huge head towards her cousin and bore her fangs in frustration.
"I'll allow you to return but you'll have to earn your place. You are returning as an apprentice and staying an apprentice until you prove to me you deserve to be a warrior. You need to get three of my most reputable warriors to vouch that you deserve your rank and place here. Simply filling the prey stock and patrolling borders won't be enough here. If I can't trust that you're with my clan for life then you'll stay an apprentice until your elder." True warriors are ready to lay down their lives for their clan, the traitor had broken her oath the second she stepped away from ShadowClan. Now she is going to have to
"What am I calling you?" Dawnstar asked bitterly.
[So she can come back, but she'll be stuck as an apprentice until she proves three feats of life-risking portions, which could range anywhere from saving a clanmate's life, solving a problem, challenging a threat, and so on. So long as it's showing her willingness to put her life on the line (you do not need to kill her) for ShadowClan. I'll have Dawn introduce her at the current meeting and further explain things there.]

[Whether it's because she can't talk, Dawnstar's not the type to risk trouble with another clan over taking in one of their lost kits. Especially since Nettle can't explain or reason why she wants to come to ShadowClan. Nettle will get tossed back into ThunderClan or over in the Outskirts.]
She hissed growing frustrated with this mute kit, the ShadowClan leader had little to no patience for this. She didn't know what was going on in ThunderClaln and quite frankly didn't care, and since the kit wasn't answering her or couldn't Dawnstar wasn't risking getting called a kidnapper for some wayward mousebrain.
"You've got two choices, hairball, you can get back over to ThunderClan or I can toss you into the outskirts, but I'm not taking you back with me to ShadowClan. You're not just some random outsider I can take in as I please, I'm not risking ShadowClan's reputation for a stray hairball."

Moving slowly her patchy black and brown fur would cling to her frame as she walked. Her scent would be a mix of twoleg Place, crowfoot, blood and riverclan. Flicking her tail she would sniff around going to try for something to eat.
That was an interesting scent and not something she smelt every day. Wearing the shadows like a second pelt, the dark brown tabby spotted the stray wandering around her territory long before she saw her. She had a blend of disgusting scents clinging to her pelt. Dawnstar didn't care who they were, she wanted them out or dead.
So much like one would stalk prey, Dawnstar followed the cat on near-silent paws and dropped into a hunting crouch as she sniffed the air, most likely looking for something to hunt here. In one rapid motion, the leader exploded out of the shadows and hurtled herself at the outsider, aiming to pounce on the cat's back and drag her claw harshly down her flanks.
]Her claws made their mark, latching into the other she-cat's flank with ease. She began to clamber her way up, opening her maw wide in preparation to sink her teeth into Dawnstar's shoulder.

This cat was going to give her an aneurysm. It didn't seem like she was taking this seriously and it bugged the Queen of Mean. She managed to pin the molly down by her shoulders, but the she-cat's fangs clashed with her as she went to bite her. That was certainly a new and unexpected move, but the outsider's words ruined any admiration stirred by her inventiveness.
Stronger hindlegs battered at her belly, the first few kicks had her drawing her head back and spatting, and the next few missed her stomach completely. Dawnstar hopped over the she-cat so that her hindlegs and belly were stationed on one side of the molly, and out of range of those kicks. She didn't have to release her hold on her opponent's shoulders, but it did give the cat more room to squirm and roll back to her paws.
As if to make up for that, Dawnstar moved one forepaw, aiming to reposition it on the she-cat chest, and placed more pressure on her hold trying to keep the outsider still. The leader's large fangs aimed to sink lower this time as if to remind the cat she was flirting with death here. Dawnstar went for the molly's neck right underneath her chin. She'd bit hard enough to draw blood and cause pain, but not hard enough to cause any fatal or lasting damage, yet. She didn't want to kill a potential new clanmate, but at the same time, might just so she couldn't join another clan.

She saw Dawnstars body language and it wasn't exactly all that good, but it was expected. She knew how it would be when she came here, so it didn't suprise her in the slightest. She waited for the words that would possibly send her packing back into the outskirts, but they never came. Insteadshe heard the words that she could come back. She'd have to go back to being an apprentice, but that wouldn't bring her down. If it was the way for her to come back and prove herself than she wouldn't complain.
Marigoldleap understood what was expected of her. She was going to try her best everyday even if it broke her down and left her bleeding. She nodded her head in understanding. For her name she was unsure. She had been Marigold for so long it was something she was used to. She was fine that eventually if she earned her rightful place back her suffix would be different.
"I understand. Marigoldpaw is what I'd like to go by.", she meowed. She just couldn't see herself as anything, but Marigold, but if Dawn was opposed to the name she didn't care what she called her. She just couldn't think of any other name herself.
Thorn felt something heavy land on her back and begin clawing. She would let out a screech and attempted to roll trying to crush whoever it was, going to push her weight down to maximise her crush. If she managed to crush her opponent, she would round on her attacker with fangs bared and claws wanting something to fight.
She might not be a warrior but she certainly wasn't a kittypet and wasn't getting pushed around without a fight.
