short description here

HISTORY To understand Cherry, you must first understand her parents. Paramore was a rogue who cared nothing for anyone. She killed her kits early in life, her lovers, her everything. She killed anyone she cared about. She hated everyone, hated everything. She was psychotic, even more so than Cherrysong is. Cloudheart was a Shadowclan warrior, a shy and simple soul who only wanted excitement in his life. And he got it when one day he ran into Paramore. He stumbled upon her in the forest one evening and instantly knew that his life had changed. After trying to kill him, but failing, Paramore decided to stick around for a bit. She didn't know what would happen because she did. When she found out she was pregnant with kits it is fair to say that she was not a happy camper. Remember, she had killed her previous litter, leaving them to die in the leafbare snow. Cloudheart convinced her to have them, and then he would take them into Shadowclan. She wouldn't have to take care of them. Not in the least. As a consequence, after she had the litter she ran as fast as she could from there. And Cloud could never tell his kits who he was to them. Heartbroken, he had to watch his kits grow from afar. He had to watch them struggle with all the challenges of not knowing who they were or where they came from, not being able to tell them the answer. It nearly killed him on multiple occasions. The two kits, Foxkit and Cherrykit, were nursed back to health by a willing queen, but never really got attached to her in the way that most kits do. They rather stuck to themselves, not caring for anyone else. Foxkit was a very submissive tom from the start. Cherry instantly ran all over him, being born with all her wonderful qualities. He worshipped her, though, because she was the only family he had. And he had to have someone. He would never had made it in the real world without her. She made sure he was taken care of, in exchange for him doing whatever she wanted him to do. Even if that meant partaking in illegal activities with her. As a kit she was always trouble, always sneaking out and always exploring. She didn't have a father to tell her no, and so she took it upon herself to do whatever she wanted. Fox, however, was very against it, very against breaking the rules in any sort of way. Eventually he rubbed off on her, and by the time she was 6 moons old she had made it her duty to tell everyone what to do. As apprentices, it was ironic that Cherrysong's mentor was Cloudheart. He seemed to be the one to even be remotely able to control her, seeing as he was the one that "found" them. Foxkit was stuck with a die-hard-live-free type tomcat who had much better things to do than train him. So Cloud took over him as well. Seeing as Foxpaw could do nothing without Cherry's permission, not even go on a walk. As they trained, it became quickly evident that Cherry thought these things to be silly. She would much rather tell others how to do them than do it herself. So she helped Foxpaw learn how to take care of himself. She helped him learn how to fight and how to hunt, never really caring to practice much on her skills. Not to say that she doesn't know how. She didn't want to get her claws dirty. It happened when they were 10 moons old. They were out hunting together, well rather Foxpaw was hunting and Cherry was critiquing, when a figure appeared from seemingly no where. Cloudheart quickly got between them, fur ruffled and fangs barred. Cherry was so confused, she didn't know who this cat was. She seemed pretty, and familiar. She looked like Fox, actually. Then it hit her. It must be her mother! Cherry bubbled with excitement and bounded to Paramore, who smiled at her kit. She saw malice flash in her mother's eyes as she looked toward Cloudheart, but Cherry didn't care! It was her mother! "You're my mother aren't you?" Paramore nodded to her, but her eyes focused on Cloudheart. Cherry watched as the two started circling, and she suddenly understood. Cloudheart must be their father, and they were fighting over who took the kits. She listened as her mother insisted it would be her, while Cloudheart said over his dead body. Cherry put herself between them, hissing to grab their attention. She suggested they let the kits choose, because they were old enough to do so. Fox made his decision to go with Paramore quickly, and Cherry could not stop him. She looked between her new found parents, scared and not sure which one was better for her. As she was deciding, Paramore's eyes flashed with malice once more toward her father. That made her decision easy. Cloud would protect her, Paramore would kill her. As she stated her decision, Paramore lunged at Cloud. He was never a match for her, he never stood a chance. She watched as her mother tore at Cloud's throat, but was not filled with the desire to help the dying male. She ran, ran back for camp as fast as she could. She had to save herself. She didn't care what happened to anyone else back there. She was the only one who mattered. She burst into camp, and the leader sent out a patrol to handle the situation. She was not surprised when they brought back Cloud's dead body and reported that the loner and her brother had run off. She didn't want to think about what Paramore would do to Fox. Seeing as she was so close to being a warrior anyway, the leader went ahead and made her one. She lived the rest of her life just as her personality said, critiquing everyone else why she did nothing. No male has ever approached her, at least, not successfully, and she doesn't expect to find one. There are very few who meet her standards as anything more than a mere vermin.
