Prefix Meaning: The 'Swallow' in her name is because, when compared to the feather of the bird, looks considerably like the feather.

Suffix Meaning: The 'song' part of her name comes from her lovely voice and laugh.

Age: 26 moons.

Rank:Warrior

Clan:DayClan

Description: When you say "The birds chirping in the air", what do you think of? Maybe sparrows or doves or maybe thrushes, but if you say "bird" in DayClan, a pretty little she-cat will come up and ask "Are you looking for me?". That is Sparrowsong in a nutshell. Do you want details? Fine. You want, I give.

Swallowsong is a pretty she-cat, but her fur is majestic. It is very long, built to keep out heat and cold alike. The long fur is a dappled light brown, making her look like a copy of a leopard with color gone awry. The brown, silky dappled fur is thick, but feels as thin as a whisker. It becomes sleek at the belly, where the fur is still long but the built is for a thin, unhealthily cat. Her body is as sleek as a hunter, which is good for running and hunting.
Her structure is another amazing thing. Her thin, sleek body gives way to a long tail for balance. Her belly is so high up, it rarely brushes ground or water, giving her an unnatural ability to swim well. Her skin is a flesh and muscle built for strength and speed. Her shoulder, widespread and powerful, could kill a cat with bare paws. No claws. Her back legs, however, were strong enough to clear half a tree. Another weird ability of hers: Jumping. When extended, she can be as tall as a badger is fierce.

Personality: If you tried to describe Swallowsong in a single word, you'd be confused to the maximum of the Maxim. In a single word, moons later you could finally dawn on the word. Strange. Swallowsong is very strange.

She has two layers to her personality. The first layer is how she acts during the waking hour. Swallowsong is very kind and loyal, as expected. But here is the strange part; she is stubborn, but in the most heartbreaking way. She won't give up. Ever. It's because of her history. Another thing; Swallowsong is very patient, but only because she is too frightened of herself to step out of line. Swallowsong appears to be sweet and pretty, but she goes hardcore. If there is an easy road and a challenge, she takes the challenge. She would, no doubt, give her life to protect anyone, but only because she wanted to save herself and an innocent life.

Now you get to learn about the other layer of Swallowsong. This is her mental voice. Just like JD, she has a voice in her head. What it is a part of, nobody knows. She can get all shaky and teary, and catapult herself into the depths of a river, trying to drown the terror. She would lose her mind soon after that, and, being tortured in the back of her mind, watched the voice take over even her fur color, so Swallowsong washowever was controlling her, mentally and physically. This also happened in her dreams. it rarely happens in the waking world, and when it does, she's all alone.

Now that you've seen the depths of Swallowsong's mind, you have to go back in time now. To the start of her torture.

History: When Swallowkit was born in DayClan, her mother wasn't happy with her daughter. Always was quick to point out mistakes and quick to give disapproval. Her father wasn't as harsh, but wasn't around enough to get to know his daughter. Swallowkit only knew two things. One, stick to the warrior code, and two, always go for an opportunity. Swallowkit lived her kit life alone, being a single kit because her siblings had died of a outburst of sickness, and only knew the hardship of trying but failing. Her mother, Sweetbrair, was never a quick-forgiving one, and when Swallowkit once licked up a stray poppy seed in the nursery, Swallowkit had to do all of the apprentice duties while her mother was secretly laughing.

When Swallowkit became Swallowpaw, her mother only cheered because she was out of her care. No more Swallowpaw made her mother rejoice and rear another litter and treat them like sacred StarClan. Swallowpaw, filled with poison of suffering and betrayal, worked hard at the task of apprenticeship, giving herself enough power to prove that she can do anything she wants if she tries. Sweetbrair played with her new kits, after Swallowpaw's father died of a badger attack, her mother didn't grieve for an instant. Swallowpaw's father's name was Foxleap. Swallowpaw, now 11 moons, was about to become a warrior. Her ceremony was a day after her father's death. Her final assessment was outstanding because of herself, and all the suffering packed into Swallowpaw, a stricken she-cat, could do something.

A moon after Swallowsong's warrior ceremony, Swallowsong was dreaming. She imagined something good. Something like a voice. It told her that if she allowed it to control a little bit, good would come to her clan. Swallowsong was dreaming, so, obviously, she said yes. Then, one sunrise later, it happened.

Badgers were attacking. Everyone in camp was out. Even the kits and queens were in the woods.The voice took over. She ripped the badger apart, unholy power and strenght cutting through her like a blackthorn. The last thing she remembers when she was controlling was the voice whispering, "Sleep well, my pretty...". The next thing, she was standing there, blood dripping down her fur, blood and flesh in her teeth and claws, whiskers dripping with blood. It streaked her fur, dripping from small wounds about the size of berries. The badger was bleeding to death. It was snarling, but it's bones and flesh were showing, dripping its life source into the dusty ground.

That is all I can say. But what about you...?

She looks good, Nightkit. However, I'm afraid I have to draw the line at Deathstar. It's alright if she's got voices in her head, but a) Deathstar is a character and thus belongs to somebody else, which means you can't insert him into your character's life without his owner's permission (that would be me); b) I'm sorry, but even if asked, I can't allow Deathstar to go around possessing random cats. He's an ancient evil spirit with one specific mission, and he's chosen Fading as his 'vessel' (even Clan-leader Eclipsedstar is only a temporary, accidental possession). Deathstar's not like Tigerstar, to go recruiting warriors to his cause; he simply doesn't need them; c) Remember that no-magical-dreams-unless-your-cat's-a-medicine-cat rule? I'm afraid that applies to visits from non-StarClan spirits as well.

Now other than that, she's fine, so if you could tweak her a bit to, you know, not include Deathstar (like I said, imaginary voices in her head are okay), she should be accepted, no problem. X3

Okay, can I still move my hands like this?
