Goldcloud

Appearance & Personality
Goldcloud is by definition a calico, though she barely looks the part. She has ginger-tipped ears, and a gray-tipped tail. The rest of her body is solid white. She's a rather bulky cat with a long tail, and she has glittering golden eyes.

Goldcloud has a heart of gold. She is kind to everyone, only wanting to play and be happy with other cats. She's rarely afraid, and never, ever, angry. She takes after her mother. As a kit, Goldcloud was favored by Graystar and Brighteyes, as she was their only daughter, after having five sons.

Brief History
Goldcloud and Gravelcave were Brighteyes' final litter. She was present for Graystar's death, and was nearly killed by the fox who took her father's life. She stuck up for Nightwing during the ShadowClan civil war, and later became Hailstar's apprentice.

Detailed History
Goldkit and Gravelkit were born to Graystar and Brighteyes. They had four older brothers; Lynxeyes, Smokeclaw, Thrushpaw, and Ravenlight. At the time of their birth, all four were already apprentice-aged, yet Thrushkit was still in the nursery, as he had been injured as a kit and lost one eye. Goldkit and Gravelkit mostly played together, though, and as much as Goldkit wanted to play with Thrushkit, he didn't seem interested in joining them.

Goldkit was the only she-cat of Graystar and Brighteyes' lineage, and so as a result she was rather spoiled. Usually spoiled characters grow up to be mean and nasty, but Goldkit was always a bundle of joy, treating all cats with the kindness she was shown during her upbringing. When Graystar began having visions, Goldkit did her best to cheer him up, pouncing on his tail and trying to play with him. She wasn't upset when Graystar would push her away, knowing he was a very busy tom who had many duties. She'd smile as he left, looking forward to the next times he'd play with her. Graystar wasn't by any means a terrible father, though; whenever he wasn't subjected to horrific visions, he'd play with Goldkit and her brother, and tell them stories of the Farlands.

Brighteyes was very protective of Goldkit, especially when Graystar died. A fox had charged into the nursery, sent over the border by a ThunderClan patrol. It had charged Goldkit and Gravelkit, but Graystar intercepted it, killing the fox, but succumbing to his wounds. As he died, he made Thrushkit an apprentice at last. Goldkit was rather confused, asking all of her family what was going on as they trickled into the room. Her grandfather Thunderfrost and a she-cat she had never seen entered. Thunderfrost backed up the new she-cat when she announced that she was Graystar's daughter, and the rightful new leader of ThunderClan. Goldkit was shocked- she had a sister? And she was going to be the leader? Goldkit, through her tears, pledged her support to Nightwing, thrilled to have her older sister lead the Clan. Goldkit supported Nightwing as her siblings left along with the other rebels, and though she was confused about why Brighteyes was so sad about it, was very excited about her sister.

Before the Clan was reclaimed by Hailstar, Brighteyes took Goldkit out on a walk around territory. She and her mother were joking around, but Goldkit returned to camp feeling a lot older. She was nearing the time during which she'd become an apprentice, anyways. Later that day, she was in the middle of camp, stacking the fresh-kill-pile out of boredom, when hell broke loose. The rebels launched an attack on their camp that would result in the overthrowing of Nightwing. Goldkit was trapped in the middle of it, but Thrushpaw and another rebel named Blazepaw helped get her to the nursery. She ran straight over to Gravelkit, huddling with her brother, petrified. Once the battle was over, Goldkit was even more confused, demanding answers from her kin. How could her sister lie to her?

Once Hailstar took over, she asked any cats who would not be loyal to her to leave. Goldkit stumbled forwards, crying, and apologized for believing that Nightwing was her sister, and promised to be good from now on, and support ShadowClan. Later that day, she and Gravelkit became Goldpaw and Gravelpaw, and she was apprenticed to Hailstar herself. Goldpaw was recovering from the betrayal by Nightwing, and through her training it was discovered that she was, surprisingly, a very talented fighter.
