She-cat : 27 moons : Rogue : Straight
Appearance: Calico she-cat with blue eyes.
Short-furred calico she-cat with partly white spotting and blue eyes. Her muzzle, right half of her face, belly, and tail tip are white. Both of her ears are torn, and she has many scars on her body; the most noticeable ones being on her face, back, and her back leg. Her left eye is cloudy and blind. Her tail is long and thin, providing much needed balance. Because of the blindness in her left eye, she has trouble judging distances for leaps and jumps. She also has to turn wider in order to see opponents that are attacking her from that side, and use her whiskers to sense things more than other cats would.
✿
Personality:
{briefly; Honest, Fierce, Hot-Headed, Prickly}
Positive Traits:
- Honest: Lying is not her forte. She'd rather say the truth - even if it's harsh - than tell a lie.
- Good Instincts: She knows when to talk, and when to be quiet. She also knows when it's time to hightail it out of a situation.
- Likes Kits: Despite her fiery and prickly exterior, she has a soft spot for kits.
Neutral Traits:
- Fierce: She is not afraid to get her paws dirty, which can be a good or bad thing depending on the situation.
- Blunt: If she thinks you're a stick in the mud, she'll be the one to tell it to your face.
- Jittery: Having to avoid cats killing her for all of her life until just recently has left her with a great deal of suspicion and nerves. This can come off as her being snappy and quick to anger.
Negative Traits:
- Hot-headed: She has a temper which can flare easily. Especially when one talks about the scar on her face.
- Prickly: She doesn't open up to others very easily. She is close-mouthed about her past, unless she's telling someone she trusts.
- Slow to Trust: She doesn't trust strangers. And she trusts her family even less.
Likes:
- Eating birds
- Sunrises
- Seeing the sky
- Greenleaf
Dislikes:
- Eating rats (it was basically all she ate in the city, as they were in abundance)
- Not being able to see the sky
- Leafbare
Fears:
- Her father and/or sister finding her.
- Being dragged back to the rogue group she grew up in.
- Small enclosed spaces.
- Water (she can't swim).

History:
Magpie was born to the leaders to a group of rogues called the Black Fang. The city they lived in was dirty and filthy, the sight of the sun being few and far between. The air was permanently brown from smog, and the smell of decay and death was inhaled with every breath.
Her parents were Coal and Ember. She was the eldest of two children, and had a younger sister named Hawk who was born a few moons later than herself. Being the eldest, she was in line to inherit leadership of the rogue group when her parents died. Along with her family, she had a caretaker in the form of an elderly tom named Oreo. Magpie had a special connection with the tom, and viewed him as another parent figure.
Hawk was talented in fighting and hunting. Magpie was not. Thus, her parents were frequently disappointed in her. There were other rogue groups besides her own. Due to this, the city was a constant battleground as the groups fought and killed for what they claimed as their own. Death was a common sight, and Magpie learned from a very early age that if you were weak, you were killed or stepped on by others.
Her younger sister was jealous of her, and thus set up "accidents" in order to get rid of her. Hawk wanted to be leader, and saw it a waste that her older sister was going to lead the group instead of her. A little bribery could go a long way in ensuring she was the only heir left alive.
As they grew, Hawk only grew more vicious and devious; twisting the truth to get others to do her bidding. Magpie learned to never trust her sister. Her parents did nothing to stop the attacks or Hawk's vicious attitude; either Hawk killed Magpie, or Magpie would kill her. No matter who survived, they would still have a successor to take their place when they died.
At the age of 12 moons, the siblings went through the Test; the final trial all cats had to face. They had to fight another cat in a death match, and if they killed them they would be given their group mark and are accepted as full-fledged members.
Hawk passed with ease, slaying the cat she fought with a flurry of deadly claws. Magpie, however, hesitated. She brought her opponent to their last legs, unable to fight back, but she could not kill them. The cat didn't want to die; and despite her father ordering her to, she couldn't deliver the final blow.
Enraged by his daughter's final disappointment, Coal attacked her. The result of the fight ended with him scarring her face, blinding her left eye. She was then disowned from the family, deemed a common fighter. The tom used her as additional labor for their attacks. Unable to leave, or else Oreo would be killed per Coal's order, she had no choice but to stay.
Cats fell by her claws and fangs, and she gained many scars from the battles. By the time she was 23 moons the sight of blood didn't phase her anymore; neither did the sight of death. She had spent nearly an entire year planning to escape. She planned out the roads she would take, where to avoid the other rogue groups, and carefully traced a route out of the city.
During a dark, cold LeafBare night, she finally got her chance. While the cats slept, curled in their cardboard boxes and makeshift dens, she snuck over to Oreo and broke him out of the camp.
As they were sneaking out, a guard awoke and saw them leaving, alerting the rest of the group. They were chased down, and Oreo was killed by Hawk's claws. Unable to do anything else, Magpie fled the city. It was then that in her entire lifetime, being away from the death and decay, that she could see the blue sky. But this did little to lift her spirits.
Lost and alone, Magpie traveled through destroyed wastelands. It was clear to her that there had been cats living there at some point, but they were long gone, replaced by twoleg rubbish and sickness. The further she traveled, however, the less the death became, and after several moons of traveling she came across the Clan territories. She has heard of the Clans, but doesn't know what to think of them. She just hopes that these Clans are better than her rogue group was.
