Hi! I drew Rosemary and Lavender for this DTA. If anything needs to be changed/edited/taken down, please let me know! I really like Rosemary's and Lavender's designs because I love the colors used! Purple and green are my favorite! Rosemary: Name: Rosemary Gender: She/her Lavender: Name: Lilacstrike Gender: She/her Short Backstory for Rosemary: Rosemary trudged through a rugged terrain, her feet becoming snagged against rough grasses and rock. She tripped, fell down, and then sighed. She wished that she could go back home, but there was no point in wishing that. Wishes, after all, didn't come true. They were just fantasy, a break from the harsh reality, just like the harsh reality of her home being destroyed. Divided. Gone. There was so much anger among the cats in her clan that they had all been polarized. There had been a battle, and now everything she cared about was gone, and the remnants leftover would never be the same. She sighed again, wondering what had happened. What had happened to community? To love? It had all simply vanished, replaced with hate. Hate destroys, thought Rosemary. All this division does nothing but destroy. It doesn't fix anything. Suddenly, there was a loud whoosh of wind, and Rosemary felt terribly lonely. It's so quiet out here, she thought. Then, she took a deep breath and murmured, "Time to think, which nobody's been doing lately." Rosemary looked up and ahead, towards the horizon, where the grass turned long and green. That was the border, which crossed into the point of no return. If she crossed over, she could never come back. Then Rosemary turned around, looking behind her. She looked at the gray, dusty rubble, which lay not so far behind her. It was what was left of her war-torn clan. If she went back there, she knew that she would never leave. Never get to see the outside world, and she'd even be in danger. Rosemary turned back to the horizon. Well, she thought, at least if I go back, I've got an idea of what the danger is. It's just other cats, after all. I can take them. But out there... Rosemary shuddered. Suddenly, a small ball of light passed by her face, startling her. Fireflies! She realized, feeling delighted. Reminders of her childhood surfaced, and she eagerly chased after the fireflies, forgetting her problems for a second. Then she came to a halt, right before the border. Rosemary took a deep breath. She now knew what she had to do. She took one last look at her clan, her home, and the place that she'd always have a special spot for in her heart. Then, following the fireflies, she took a step over the border, into the point of no return. Short Backstory for Lavender/Lilacstrike Thunder boomed, and lightning struck against the sky, worsening Lilacstrike's mood. Snarling, she pushed on, clambering through the heavy winds. She couldn't believe it! After all this time, all this hard work, and she'd been betrayed, again! And to make the whole situation worse, it had been by her own sister. To be honest, she shouldn't have been surprised. Her sister had betrayed her not so many moons ago, for similar reasons. "I hate my sister." muttered Lilacstrike. Even after that pact they'd made as kits, the very pact that said that they'd stay together forever, they still found themselves divided. Despite the fact that they'd promised each other that they'd always help the other, always back the other, that had never happened. Well, actually, Lilacstrike had always held up her end of the bargain. But her liar of a sister had not. Thunder clapped loudly, and lightning struck again. "Shut up!" she shouted. Her eyes narrowed into slits, and she walked even faster, stumbling across the mountains. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and she found herself laying against the rocky ground, stunned.

Feeling numb, Lilacstrike tried to move her left foreleg. Pain shot through it, spreading through her whole body. Lightning, she thought. Oh, how could I be so stupid? Of course I'd get struck by lightning if I went mountain-climbing during a thunderstorm! Slowly, everything around Lilacstrike began to fade into a dark blackness. "You...got me...lightning." She slurred. "Again. Just like....my...sister, Lightningwing..." Lilacstrike opened her eyes to a colorful scene. She moved her leg, but nothing hurt. Hmm, she thought. That's strange. Do I also look...smaller? "Lilac, Lilac!" shouted a young, eager voice. Her sister, Lightningwing bounded across the floor of the apprentice den. "Today's our first day as apprentices, remember, sleepyhead?" asked Lightningwing, shaking her sister playfully. "R-right." stammered Lilacstrike. "I-I-" Come to think of it, Lightningwing looked younger too. "-I'll be right out in a second, Lightningw-paw." Gosh, this is so strange! Thought Lilacstrike as she left the apprentice den. What is this, a time loop? Suddenly, happiness jolted through her heart. If this was a time loop, maybe she could fix everything, right now. Lilacstrike smiled, an evil grin stretching across her face. To anybody else, this grin might have seemed mischievous, or even playful. But if you took one look at Lilacstrike's eyes, you could see the malice within them. She smirked at Lightningpaw, who was running over to her mentor, Berryfall. Lightningpaw looked so unknowing, so innocent, thought Lilacstrike. Well, she's got no idea what's coming. They say time heals all wounds, eh? Well, I think not.
