ABOUT APPEARANCE Summary: A slightly larger white and ginger tabby she-cat with yellow eyes. Peachstone is a slightly larger she-cat who seems to be more built for combat and climbing. She has short fur, but there seems to be a lot of it and she is constantly shedding, no matter the season. Most of her fur is a white color, while she does have some lighter ginger tabby patches upon her body as well. Her eyes are a pale yellow, and seem to be hardened, making it difficult to read the emotions that she is feeling. The majority of the ginger patches are large and on her back and sides, leaving her belly, legs, paws, and face pure white. But, there is a single, tiny, ginger patch on the left side of her mouth. PERSONALITY Confliction, that is something that courses through her veins, possibly more than the conviction that she once held when she was a kit or an apprentice. Growing up, she knew of her grandparents views and values, that her mother and her mother's mate was wrong. It wasn't what was natural or right, and it was something that didn't belong. She attached herself to these values, and it's something that she does still hold onto to this very day. But, seeing how happy her mother is makes her second guess it. Because of this confliction in her mind with her views, it tends to make her harsher towards those who like like her mother does. Her grandparents had been the doting ones, the ones who taught her, so she believed them more as a kit. This harsh nature of hers isn't as bad as her strictness when it comes to teaching someone else how to do things, or when she is in charge of a patrol. She takes things seriously, as she thinks that all cats should. But, all this does is prove her hardworking nature, how she wants to make sure that things get done when they should. No matter how harsh she might be towards someone who thinks as her mother does, she is still respectable to those who hold a rank higher than herself. But above all else, she is determined in what she does, and she will fight for what she loves. HISTORY Family: Grandmother: Jasminetalon Grandfather: Quailstrike Biological Mother: Briarskies Mother: Sweetgrass Surrogate Father: Applegaze Mentor: Maplefire Before Birth: Before kits were even an after thought in Briarskies' mind, she was first friendly with another she-cat name Sweetgrass. Briarskies' parents, Jasminetalon and Quailstrike, thought that it was just as friends, so there was no after thought about it. At least, not until Briarskies and Sweetgrass became closer and closer to each other, soon doing everything today. Five moons after they started to get closer to each other, they declared to be each others mates. Some were angered, some were happy, but none seem to be more angry than Jasminetalon and Quailstrike. It didn't end with just them becoming mates though, they announced that they wanted kits. This just infuriated Jasminetalon and Quailstrike even more, to the point to where Jasminetalon was trying to set Briarskies up other toms, trying to show her daughter that being with a tom was twenty times better than being with a she-cat who can't give her what she wanted, kits. But, Briarskies became desperate on wanting to prove to her parents that Sweetgrass was the perfect mate for her. In her desperation, she found a surrogate to have kits, Applegaze. Applegaze just happened to be close friends with Sweetgrass, so it worked out. After trying with Sweetgrass, and failing multiple times, he tried with Briarskies, and soon she was pregnant. Kithood: Moons went by after Briarskies became pregnant, she had her litter of a single kit, Peachkit. It wasn't until Peachkit was three moons when Jasminetalon and Quailstrike started to really loom over the ginger and white kit. Even though Briarskies was supposed to be the only one who was really ever around Peachkit because of her age, Jasminetalon still found a way to weasle herself in. The moment that Jasminetalon had heard that Peachkit was awake, she was there. Peachkit would always ask her grandmother for stories, and Jasminetalon obliged. But these stories had lessons and reminders that same sex mates were a bad thing, something to be frowned upon. Something that wasn't natural, nor did it make the two cats involved fully happy. Peachkit wanted to say that Jasminetalon was wrong, but she would look at Briarskies and see that she was upset all of the time. What the young kit didn't do was connect the dots that Briarskies was unhappy because Jasminetalon was corrupting Peachkit. Just seeing this sadness in her mother, made Peachkit side with Jasminetalon and her views. Because of this, Peachkit's grandparents were proud to see the kit taking their views, instead of believing the "lies" that Briarskies and Sweetgrass were trying to tell Peachkit. The white adn ginger tabby kit didn't want to hear it. When she was introduced to the tom who helped bring Peachkit into the world, she didn't even look at him normally. Instead, she agreed with her grandparents that he had done wrong by helping Briarskies and Sweetgrass defy StarClan. What didn't seem to cross in the kit's mind was that she was saying that her own birth was against StarClan's views. This soon became something that her grandparents would tell her daily. Apprenticeship: She thought that when she was named as an apprentice, she would stay as the apple of her grandmother's eyes, but she was far from right. Hawkstar had placed Peachpaw under Maplefire's mentorship. Maplefire was a tom who not only had another tom as a mate, but helped another she-cat mate pair have kits of their own. This was something that tarnished the views that Peachpaw held close to her heart, the views that she learned from her grandmother. She despised her mentor, and she made sure that he knew this. But, even though she showed her dislike and hatred toward him, that didn't keep the most hurtful thing in her life from happening. She went to talk to her grandparents after training one day, wanting to talk to them and be around others who held the same views as herself. Only, they shunned her. They shut her out. They looked at her like they looked at their own daughter. This broke Peachpaw, but not into the depressive state. Instead, it fed her anger and hatred toward the situation. She took it out on her mentor during training by being difficult. She would learn and listen, but she wouldn't speak kindly, or at all. She felt that her grandparents shunning her was Maplefire's fault. She had gotten their approval being born to her mother, but being put as Maplefire's apprentice seemed to worry Peachpaw's grandparents that she was about to be converted back to how Briarskies felt. She didn't try to talk to her mother, instead, Peachpaw continued to shun her as well. She heard Jasminetalon tell an elder one day that because of Maplefire, Peachpaw wasn't going to become a proper warrior. It then became apparent that Peachpaw had no one, and she thrived in that. She pushed herself harder to prove that she was who she was, with the views that she was taught and still held. She wanted to prove that no one had changed her mind, but that still didn't work to get her grandparent's approval once more. She pushed herself to catch up on her training and excel, which made it to where she still gained her warrior name on time. Warriorhood: With her warrior ceremony, Peachpaw was named Peachstone. By becoming a proper warrior, she thought to try and talk to her grandparents again. But, as she did, she was instantly berated and torn down. She was told that just because she gained her warrior name, it didn't mean that she was a proper warrior. A proper warrior wouldn't have accepted training under the heathen tom. This time, Peachstone broke and sulked away. She felt defeated. She tried to talk to her mother after moons of shunning Briarskies, but that she-cat wanted nothing to do with her daughter now. Sweetgrass, her adopted mother, did inform Peachstone of a single thing though; that Briarskies depression when Peachstone was a kit wasn't because of who Briarskies was mated to, but because her own daughter was listening to bigotry and lies. Peachstone watched the two she-cats walk away and noticed a single thing, Briarskies was happy by Sweetgrass' side. Seeing that, turned Peachstone's headstrong belief in her values and views, turn to confusion. She has been alone since, still stuck in her old ways of same sex mates were bad, but she was still confused on that same statement. She tried not to show it, because it could be used against her. Instead, she is focusing on being a great warrior for StoneClan, and making plans on trying to talk to her mother, adopted mother, and surrogate father. One of them had to be willing to forgive her, right? + protective - headstrong + hardworking - harsh + respectable - strict + determined - confused KEY TRAITS
