my OC Raven!
LORE: Raven was always a very independent cat with no such wish to have kits or a love interest. Raven was raised in the thunderclan camp about 100 years after firestar’s reign as leader, raven got her name after the legendary ravenpaw. But Raven’s name wasn’t always just raven before she flead the clans in search of freedom and no more bloodshed; her apprentice name was Ravenpaw. She later shortened it out to raven because she felt a clan name didn't suit her free spirit and wild nature. Raven grew up as any other apprentice Hunting, learning, and fighting though the last one wasn’t her strongsuit. Raven always craved adventure and life beyond the mountains free and exiting her wanderous spirit always lead her into scolding by her leader Willowstar but raven never really cared and continued to explore. Raven woke up it being a normal day- but also not very normal she could scent a strange odor coming towards the camp and she was sure everyone smelled it because all the warriors had their claws unsheathed and the kits,queens,and elders were being rushed into the big rock were willowstar made her announcements. But then it clicked in her mind SHADOWCLAN… Raven jumped up in fear and horror. She thought Shadowclan and Thunderclan were at peace… well at least since their last battle. Raven had 2 options: stay and fight or run and be free like she always wanted, but her thinking session was cut short by scratches of cat blood, fur, and claws blurred and what felt like a second they were at war! Raven went with the 2nd option, this was her time to escape so she slowly creeped out of the camp but her blood ran cold and her fur stood on end, “Where do you think you're going!” her mentor gingersnap said and i guess she really lived up to her name because her eyes were cold with disappointment and Raven knew what to do…RUN. She leaped through the tree’s and soft undergrowth, her mentor furiously chasing after her. Raven felt like she could run forever like she had all of Starclan with her and then she literally ran into a problem, The gouge stretching for miles she knew she couldn’t go around her only option was over. So raven took a leap of faith praying to starclan and she made it! everything she’s ever known- Gone. Raven was left in tears but knew she could never look back and kept on going until her paws ached and she couldn’t walk any farther she stumbled upon a empty den that looked just like the perfect resting spot because since the accident- it rained almost like a omen from starclan saying how mad they were. Raven woke up to nothing but rain and cold winds blowing over her, but something smelled off and then that’s when she heard a high pitched scream: a dog perhaps or maybe a fox? Raven decided to go check it out and came upon a badly injured fox cub about the age and size of her. She wasn’t too scared since with that hurt leg they wouldn’t stand a chance- wait where is the leg?!?. To her horror it seemed that the fox’s leg was bitten off. So without hesitation she creeped closer and asked “ Are you okay?” to the fox.”Of course not!” the fox snapped not in aggression but pain.”Wait here.” Raven said, ”Not much else I can do.” the fox spat. Raven quickly collected everything she could find in the rain soaked land, her knowledge of herbs from occasionally watching their medicine cat Sakurabreeze and their apprentice sagesteap sort through herbs. Raven came back fully stoked and began applying the necessary supply’s giving the fox poppy for the pain and they gladly accepted. Once she was done the fox said “Thank you, i don’t know what else i would have done without your help. What's your name by the way, mine's Atlas?” the foxx who she now knew was a he asked. “Ravenpaw or more like know just raven…” she said a bit sad.”is everything alright?” Atlas asked, so Raven told him the story. After a while raven and atlas bonded seeking friendship in each other's company. After all they were all each other had after a while they decided to explore the world together as a curious duo. And that is a raven's story. I hope you enjoyed it!
