hickorysmoke of the wilderness
Hickorysmoke is a cat of complex personality
◀ ᴅɪsᴄɪᴘʟɪɴᴇᴅ — Raised by a strict mentor, she's trained to stick by the rules and guidelines of what her mentor has instilled in her. There are often times that she doesn't comprehend doing something fun or reckless. She wouldn't put it past her to deny a good time if she knew it wouldn't please her mentor; even though he's not with her now.
◀ ᴏʙsᴇʀᴠᴀɴᴛ — A trait born from her upbringing. Though all cats have their keen senses, she's honed in on them with her training. Hickorysmoke is often quiet and this usually keys to her taking in her surroundings; observing any changes or inconsistencies. This can be a downfall at times, though. She can get so focused on listening to the world far away from her that she loses the ability to notice something or someone close to her. It's something she's still working on since she is still quite young, but will hopefully get better with age.
◀ ᴠɪᴠᴀᴄɪᴏᴜs — Aside from her few hardened traits, Hickory isn't all serious. She's still true to her young age and is generally a bright and lively she-cat during her casual chatter.
◀ ᴄᴏᴍᴘᴀssɪᴏɴᴀᴛᴇ — Addershadow always said that compassion was a trait often found in warriors who were serious about their practice. But for those in which it came naturally, were born to be a warrior from the start. She cares about her job and her duties and she can sometimes get a little too emotionally involved in some cases. Sometimes it helps, but it can also cloud her judgement. Others may see it as weakness, but she doesn't believe so.
◀ ᴇʟᴇɢᴀɴᴛ — Hickory has a natural elegance and grace about her. In the way she walks and moves and in the eloquent way she speaks.
◀ ᴍᴏᴏᴅʏ — There are the off-days where her past catches up with her and downs her mood. During these times she hides where she can be alone, however, she's prone to snapping at people at the wrong time. She'll apologize for it later, don't take it personally.
◀ ɪɴsᴇᴄᴜʀᴇ — She's unsure about a lot of things, joining a clan being the biggest obstacle. Hickorysmoke wanted to be a warrior, and a brave one, but the thought of becoming part of something bigger than her made her feel small. Not only this, but she becomes insecure about herself from time to time.

a history of great depth and care is behind this feline
◀ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀɴᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪᴄᴋᴏʀʏ ᴛʀᴇᴇ — Lilymask and Hollowstream were as in love as two cats could be, living among other various loner groups within a remote forest. They had been dreaming of raising kits their whole lives and when the time finally came for the world to greet their litter, they were overjoyed. It was sunhigh during the afternoon in Leaf-fall, while three kits nestled against the warm furs of their mother's belly. She nursed alongside her brother and sister, spending their first crucial days close to their mother and each other.
◀ ᴀɴᴅ sᴏ ᴛʜᴇ sᴍᴏᴋᴇ ʙʟᴏᴡs — During the first few moons of her life, her and her siblings were living carefree and wild among the woods without a worry in the world. They played, fake hunted the occasional bug or leaf and told each other stories they would hear from other kits. One night, after a long day of play, the young kit settled into her den to sleep the night away and get back to playing the next morning. However, not long after her lids closed, she was disturbed by screaming and loud noises. Her brother was picked up by her mother and her sister by her father, they hustled outside while Hickory waited for them to come back for her, but they never came. There was a loud crack and crash outside the cave, bright orange lighting up the outside. Morning already? Grey stuff started to pour into her den, stinging her eyes and making it hard to breathe and it was then that she began to realize what was going on. She wobbled to the mouth of her den, calling for her family when another crack sounded and a tree fell, blocking her path to get outside. The sacred, now abandoned child stumbled backwards while the smoke got thicker.
◀ ʜɪᴅᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ғᴇᴀʀs, ɪ ᴀᴍ ʜᴇʀᴇ ɴᴏᴡ — When she thought all was lost, someone crashed through the barrier and grabbed her scruff, taking her outside and running with her. Disoriented, afraid and tire, Hickorykit lost consciousness until the next day when she awoke in a bush den with a stranger. He introduced himself as Addershadow, informing her that her family was lost in a fire and he pulled her free from her cave. It was a hard blow to understand, but since then she remained under the care of this tom who gave her a much different life than she had before. He taught her about the Clans, being a warrior, how to survive and hunt. The next few months were all training and preparation for her six moon milestone. He trained her hard and let her play little, that was, until she met Tailkit.
◀ ᴛᴡᴏ ɪs ʙᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ ᴛʜᴀɴ ᴏɴᴇ — She had hope that meant she could make more friends, but when she asked Addershadow about it, he didn't condone the making of friends until her training was finished and she was ready to be out in the world by herself. Of course, this struck a chord in Hickorykit and whenever she had the chance, she would sneak away from her mentor to meet with Tailkit. They grew closer and closer everyday and he was her favorite cat of all time. The two played and talked all day and after a few months of this, she became infatuated with the young tom. He was kind, funny and made her forget all the tough teachings and studies Adder put her through.
◀ ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʟᴀsᴛs ғᴏʀᴇᴠᴇʀ — Before she hit six moons, Addershadow caught onto Hickory's sneaking out and discovered the two of them meeting together. She was immediately reprimanded for her actions and forbidden to ever meet with Tailkit again. The heartbroken she-cat grew sad and quiet, focusing on her studies as asked, but thinking about Tailkit any chance she got. Being separated from her only friend changed her, but not for the better.
◀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ ɪs ʏᴏᴜʀs, ᴜsᴇ ɪᴛ ᴡɪsᴇʟʏ — At six moons, when she became Hickorypaw, Addershadow sent her off to find the clan that called to her. She said her goodbye and with no hope of seeing Tailpaw again, she ventured off into the world to find her future.
