Jaystorm [atf] Warrior of Thunderclan

Jaystorm is a sort of quiet cat. She only talks when the conversation involves her [just to check if she's in trouble] or if it interests her. Unlike usual cats, she half-thinks before attacking. The one thing that crosses her mind before she rakes her claws across her opponents is does he/she deserve it? and well, yeah. Be careful if you peeve her off, because even if it doesn't relate to the clan she'll want revenge and may even breakthewarriorcode depending on how severely the cat hurt her emotionally [she doesn't care if you rip her eye out in a fight.. err... maybe she might but it won't happen xD]. Anyways, she's also known to bend the rules and over all be a trouble for the whole clan, meaning things from chasing a hare into Blossomclan territory while she's hunting it then killing it, or even taking her clan's prey to rogue cats who are starving. I mean, nope! She doesn't have a soft side. 

Errr, she has a pity side. She'll feel pity on anyone she finds that is badly injured, sick, etc. and will often break the warriors code just to help them get on their feet. This doesn't mean not giving a finishing blow to a deadly rogue because he is bleeding a lot, it means anyone who deserves it or rather looks like they deserve it.

And last thing, she can be nice when you befriend this beast. Also sarcastic and a touch of funiness. But you'll have to warm up to her and shut up when she tells you to.

"Trouble doesn't go wherever I go, I invite it to" -- Jaypaw.

Jaystorm was an independant kit by the time she was a moon old, also the most stubborn and adventurous kit in the nursery. Often she'd follow patrols and be a total pain in the butt to everyone, but that was fine with her. As long as she got some fun out of it. She had two friends, one named Pebblekit and Runningkit. All through her life they were her friends, although it started when she was brought into the world with these two  kits, each a moon older than her, but her best friends.

Her best memory as a kit is following a dawn patrol out of camp and then falling in snow a few minutes later, where she found the home of a mouse. It seemed a small log had sunken into the snow or been buried and the mouse had made it's home here. Unfortunately, it had forgotten to build another exit, and it was Jaykit's meal within a few seconds. The warriors weren't impressed when they went looking for the missing kit and found a small, earthy brown kit in a hole in the snow, staring at the stringy little mouse she had caught as if she now could own the world. This was only a moon before she was made an apprentice, so later, after nibbling on the mouse during Sharing Tongues [although her mother said strictly milk, no meat] she considered how hard this little mouse tried to live, how skinny and lifeless it had been and how it's eyes were filled with nothingness as she attempted to strike it down, and how thankful it had looked. Maybe life was too hard... unless you were a strong warrior.

Jaykit was overjoyed when it was announced her ceremony would begin a moon after she had caught the mouse. Her new name, as obvious as it sounded, was Jaypaw, and she took great pride in the new name. Her mentor was a female named Snoweyes and was a very gentle, wise cat. She was young, but she knew a lot about the warrior's way of fighting. Jaypaw remembered the first lesson they ever did together involved Snoweyes running away, loosing her mentor, and then being pounced on, let go and her mentor saying "Be wary, Jaypaw, an attack can come from any angle at any time. Although, it's usually not a clan mate who does the attacking". 

Pebblepaw and Runningpaw were still her friends, and her mother often called them the 'trio'. The three combined got into more trouble than the average apprentices, and her most memorable moment was finding a badger in the woods. Oh god. They thought 3 cats v 1 badger was good, but now Pebblepaw has a huge scar across his side, Runningpaw's ears look like ribbons along with part of his tail, and Jaypaw got many scars, only 2 were permanent however. Eventually Runningpaw [the fastest of the trio] ran back to camp and gathered some cats, who managed to scare the badger away.

Ahh, the good ol' apprentice times.

Snoweyes, Stormeye and Dawnstripe were extremely proud when Jaypaw became a warrior. Her father was also deputy at the time, after their previous deputy, Leopardstride was killed in a skirmish over territory. The leader named Jaypaw after somewhat her father, and her personality. So the name Jaystorm was born, and along with it came a new warrior.

A few moons passed of patroling with Runningstripe and Pebblestream, having fun, hunting for her clan, defending it quite a few times, basically being a warrior. Of course trouble was still invited on the trip, and she quickly became the leader's least favourite problem. From trespassing by accident to stealing prey for the troubled clans. Sometimes she'd be threatened to be kicked out of the clan, but she knew her leader had a soft spot for her, being her best friend's daughter.

Life was good.

"Featherpaw, get down!"

Jaystorm hissed to the apprentice, who's eyes were widened in a mix of fear and curiosity. Both cats peered quietly through the bracken and bush they had shot into and with narrowed eyes of disapproval, they spotted three cats.

Only two of them were cats she knew, the other one was obviously a young apprentice as it was half their size. Their paws moved silently through the undergrowth, as if they were stalking mice, until she realised, they were.

The youngest cat suddenly pounced, sending up a cloud of leaves. "Emberpaw!" One of them hissed quietly "Would you like to wake up the owls up?". Emberpaw landed quite far from the mouse, skidding to a halt. "Sorry, sorry," he murmured "didn't mean to" and he went stood up again, flicking a leaf from his paw. 

"What are you doing here, Snowfur?" Jaystorm slid out of the bush, followed by a wide-eyed Featherpaw, who watched the other apprentice as if this was the first time she'd seen one. The tom's fur bristled and they turned to see the warrior.
"Excuse me?" Snowfur answered, his white fur flattening as he realised there were only two cats from Frostclan.

"What... are... you... doing... here?" Jaystorm repeated slowly, narrowing her eyes. So what if there were three of them? Featherpaw was doing okay, and Jaystorm could fight, she admitted to herself.

"Huntin -- wait... why are you here?" he hissed, his ears flattening. Jaystorm's eyes raised -- did they not know what they were doing? "I'm Frostclan's territory, thanks. Just stealing prey off my own pack" she hissed back, sarcastically. He bared his teeth. "We chased a mouse into here you fool, it's Lightclan's prey!" and with a frown, she curled her lip "Do you not know the code? It is under our trees, in our snow, hiding in our bracken, it is Frostclan's" and with that, Emberpaw spoke up. "But I chased it!" he said, facing her. Half-shocked half-angry, she put her face into his. "Treat your warriors with respect, little one" and then she rose her head again and as if he no longer existed, looked at Snowfur. 

"I give you the chance to get back to your territory. However, if a patrol sees you here again, hunting OUR prey again, they will attack and drive you out. My leader will hear of this" Jaystorm said in a surprisingly calm voice, although her tail was twitching in annoyance. 

Snowfur nodded and had to bat the apprentice across the head to stop him glaring at Jaystorm and follow. 

Ah, another warrior's day work.
