-.-.-.-
Appearance
Build. Crystalsky is built petite and light, being considerably smaller than the average cat, the main bulk of her being fur. However, under that fur, she is made of muscle. Slender but strong legs carry her swiftly, and often in long strides. Her shoulders are narrow but strong, putting force behind each movement of her leg. She has a round, average-looking head and ears, and a pink nose.
Fur. While her fur is not that long, it is quite thick, especially in the winter, and does its job in keeping her warm. In the summer, her coat reduces quite a bit. She is colored black and white, her belly being white while the black pigment falls down onto her belly in triangular shards. Her muzzle is completely white, except the black spot to the right of her nose.
Eyes. Her eyes are round and bright, often curious or thoughtful. They are hazel-green, not a huge leap from the average cat.
Other. Hmm. I guess not, no.
Personality. Crystalsky is rather social, and does not do well alone, especially if there are many around her and no one is with her. She likes to please everyone, and gets upset when she can't. Her temper isn't short; she very rarely gets mad at anyone but herself or something uncontrollable, but when she does get mad.. watch out. Generally a follower among a group than a leader, she probably won't be the one making big decisions. With trusted cats, she is much more confident and comfortable, as with strangers she tends to be awkward. When with strangers, she tends to observe and do what she is told, rather than be outspoken and bold. However, occasionally she will do something wrong to spite cats she does not like.
Hobbies and talents. Fast, and somewhat strong. Often found in trees, and also likes to swim and be active. Generally loyal.
Faults and dislikes. She doesn't do well with change. Can be so tolerant that she is taken advantage of. If someone sets off her fuse, however she can get violent.

History.
Crystalkit, Skykit and Troutkit were born on a cold, rainy winter day. The ground was covered in a layer of cold, wet snow, mixed with rain. Every cat was wet and in a bad mood, mainly due to the weather.
The Clan had not anticipated the birth - no one had known of her pregnancy except the week before giving birth. This had unsettled everyone, as prey was scarce and the Clan was not low on numbers, and they'd be hunting for three more mouths. This was so upsetting that it had been decided that, before her kits reached 6 moons, she would have to hunt enough to make up for the amount her children ate. If she failed, she was exiled.
Because of this, Cloudpelt was often hunting, trying to ensure
her place in the Clan in the future. Rainie, who was Cloudpelt's best friend, often took care of the kits; she had lost her litter to starvation. Their mother could not reach the standard set for her, and was exiled. No Clan cat ever saw her again. Shortly after, Rainie left for unknown reasons. It was said she was going to help their mother, now that the kits were almost apprentices and could take care of themselves.
Crystalkit [now Crystalpaw] had a terrible apprenticeship. She despised her mentor, Quietheart. Quietheart was a senior warrior, but Crystalsky recalled that Quietheart did not fit his name. He was loud and outspoken; if something was not how he did it, it was not right. That being said, she did not learn much from him, mostly due to her doing the opposite of what was asked. Rarely she succeeded from it.
Crystalpaw grew close to her brother, Skypaw, especially during their apprenticeship [Troutpaw was more of a loner, not particularly attached to any sibling]. This was partially due to them training mostly together, his mentor being Quietheart's mate. Skypaw noticed how little Crystalsky was learning from Quietheart, so after training sessions he would often try to teach him some of the things his mentor taught him.
Troutpaw was generally very angry with the Clan, and decided to leave. Skypaw, knowing there was no way his brother could make it on his own, left with him. But Skypaw wanted to be known as loyal to the Clan until he died; not a rebel like Troutpaw was. So he faked his death, with Crystalpaw's help.
Crystalpaw was going to say a hawk attacked her, and Skypaw jumped after the hawk, shocking it so the bird dropped her. Skypaw would lose his grip on the hawk, and plummet down into the river, never to be seen again. Skypaw said a quick goodbye to Crystalsky, and jumped across the stones of the river. Her last memory of him was when he turned his head to look back, a silent goodbye, moments before disappearing behind the horizon.
Crystalsky was alone and upset. However, she delivered the news. She began to try and convince herself Skypaw actually was dead, but then she would remember when he looked back and know he had been alive. Crystalsky, at her warrior ceremony, was then named Crystalsky in honor of her brother - a false honor, however, as Crystalsky knew he was not truly dead.

"Why are you going?" Crystalsky asked, her body shaking with shock.
"Troutpaw won't survive on his own. I have to go.. So please help me?" Her brother answered truthfully, but she didn't want to believe it. She did not want to believe, that potentially, these were the last few hours they'd ever see together. "Don't you want me to be seen as a loyal member 'till I die, rather than a rebel that will be forgotten as soon as he leaves?"
"Yea..." Crystalsky was feeling sick.
"Then you'll help me." He seemed unusually calm, but Crystalsky saw past that. She knew deep down, he had to be more nervous than she was.
They headed to the river where his death was to be, and remembered all the times they caught fish, competed to see who got the bigger fish or caught more. The one time they chased a rat across the river, but he tripped and fell and she had to drag him to shore. She'd give anything to be there right now. "This is what is going to happen," Skypaw's voice interrupted her thoughts. "You are going to get caught by the hawk. Then I will jump up, catch onto the hawk, and it'll drop you. Eventually I will lose my grip and fall into the river." He seemed slightly terrified, describing how everyone was going to think he died.
Crystalsky looked at the river. Fueled by the melting snow, it was flowing fast and strong. She imagined the scene in her head, over and over again. It wasn't hard to imagine how a cat could be swept away by the current. Why did Troutpaw have to leave? He was ruining her life. She would have no one anymore, except her hated mentor to finish the last of her training. "Well.. this is goodbye." Her voice was trembling, her eyes clouded with sadness.
"I guess so. Take care of yourself, Crystal... Please. Maybe one day I'll see you again."
Her brother leaped on the rocks that were jutting out of the river, careful not to slip. Beyond the river, Troutpaw was waiting. A new future for them was waiting. Back at the Clan, a new future was waiting for her. But she was alone.
