Ember-eye Deceased | She’s so wONDERFUL | Desiged by me
Note that she’ll get her own chibi or fullbody in time, but I can’t keep this lovely lady all to myself!! <333
In life, Ember-eye was known as Emberheart for most of her life; she was known for dramatic retelling of Ashclan’s myths and legends and was great at playing the parts. Emberheart was very vocal about her opinions, challenging Snapperstar’s word at every turn (the leader took it with good humor). At first she would have a lot of anxiety after outbursts, but in time she grew to love providing a voice for those who couldn’t to step up.
Emberheart was in a loving poly relationship with her mates Dappledclaw and Locust-tail, providing humor and many an antic to ease any disagreements. She was the point of balance in their relationship, but sometime after their three children (Peeperpaw, Coyotepaw and Leechpaw) were nearing adulthood they decided to end the relationship on amicable terms due to factors inside and outside the relationship.
The three adults took a walk with their children, to explain what was going on and that things likely wouldn’t change too much. Leechpaw, distraught, ended up running off and angering a rutting stag. It charged the apprentice and the rest of the family couldn’t do anything but fight.
When the leaf-litter settled, there was blood everywhere; Emberheart’s family was devastated.
Leechpaw had fled; no one has ever seen or heard from her again.
Peeperpaw had been trampled under sharp hooves.
Locust-tail died on their way to camp.
Coyotepaw survived, barely, with deep gouges in his belly and sides.
And Emberheart, suffering trauma and antler gouges to her head, found her eye filling with blood, her hearing muffled and the feeling in half her whiskers reduced to nothing.
She and Coyotepaw chose to take on new names, Ember-eye and Coyotebelly respectively, to honor the loved ones they had lost.
The remainder of the family carried on with their Warrior duties after healing, with Coyotebelly even finding love with Flyface and expecting a litter with his beau;
Ember-eye couldn’t have been happier for her son, but the trauma from her injuries never fully healed. Her bloody eye became blinded, and in time infection set in; she died the day after Coyotebelly’s kits were born.
But that’s not the end of Ember-eye’s story, oh no; she plays a role as a dead cat too. I’ll keep that under wraps for now, though ;D
