CAT NAME: Dawnmemories
CAT BIO: Sometimes, StarClan gives second chances. Sometimes, they realize the unfairness of life. And, sometimes, they give you a chance to do things again. Reddawn was a beautiful young warrior of SummerClan, mother of two, and devoted to her family and to StarClan. Her red fur gleamed and shone and her green eyes glimmered with light and life. Reddawn, put simply, was beautiful. And she lived a beautiful life. So when she met Sootwhisker, an older tom with a storied past but giant heart, she thanked StarClan every single day. Everything should have been perfect. But it was not to be. Reddawn fell ill. A sickness that stole her youth, her love, and her life. As Sootwhisker slowly went blind, Reddawn slowly died. But not a day passed that Reddawn was not surrounded by love. That she didn't promise Sootwhisker they'd be together again. And, when she closed her eyes in the waking world for the last time, StarClan heard her promise. A large brown tom stood before her, stars gleaming in her fur, and Reddawn felt awestruck. With a deep voice, the tom told her he was Swoop of a fallen PondClan, and he had heard her. In fact, all of StarClan had heard her, had watched. So they gave her a choice. She could continue on to StarClan and know no pain, and be reunited with her children and one day with her mate. Or, she could be reborn as a kit and be given the chance to live life again. They promised Sootwhisker would also be reborn, that they’d be given a chance to live a life together from the beginning. Reddawn thought hard on this before choosing. Only when Beelift and Fawnlight were allowed to appear, did she decide to be reborn. “Mother,” Fawnlight meowed, “you deserved a longer life with Sootwhisker, one with kits and battles and long walks and many cold nights curled up together.” Beelift stepped forward, “but that was taken from you. We know you want to stay with us, but we want this for you. And, when that life is over, we’ll still be here. And when that life is over, you’ll remember us again.” Tearfully, Reddawn ran her cheek along each of her kits’ cheeks, “I love you with my whole being, my children.” And with that, Reddawn nodded to Swoop and faded from existence. When she awoke, there were no memories. And she could not see. Reborn, as Dawnkit. No memories, no love, no pain. Only the sudden cold wrenching feeling of being born and then the warmth and softness of siblings and a mother. Dawnkit was born in SummerClan and allowed to live a normal life, one where she was friends with that tom kit Sootkit and dreamed of being a warrior someday. Her red fur reminded clanmates of a lost she-cat from moons ago, but there was never a connection made. Only a special fondness for the sweet Dawnkit. As a warrior she has found her place in the clan she loves once more, except for that annoying furball Sootstep. What a disappointment their relationship has ended up being, despite her attempts as a kit to befriend him. Yet, for some reason only StarClan knows, they keep getting paired up for everything. It’s enough to drive Dawnmemories crazy. All she wants is to be loyal and respected, but often time she feels as though everyone is playing a joke on her. Despite her small side issues with Sootstep; the she-cat is still front and center for patrols, battles, events, and feasts. SummerClan is her home twice-over and the love she has for it shows in her every single day.

SUMMERCLAN ACTIVITY (1-10): I'd say a 7? I rp here regularly c:
OVERALL ACTIVITY (1-10): Honestly it went down for a few weeks because of financial stress, I was working as many jobs as I could x.x but it's usually a 7/8 and will remain there, this is my comeback week

WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE SUMMERCLAN DEPUTY?: Well, SummerClan has been one of my constants. I do believe I've always had a cat here, though I've never tried to hold a position. I like the atmosphere, the territory, and the history. As well as the current staff

HOW WELL WOULD YOUR CAT GET ALONG WITH RATSTAR?: Dawnmemories is dedicated, she respects her leader but she also questions them in times of stress. Are you sure you want to start this fight? Are you sure they deserve this war? That kind of thing. I think in any situation, Dawnmemories wants to know her leader thought it through. Because who wants to go pledge their loyalty to a short-sighted leader? I think she would see how good Ratstar is for SummerClan and see being his deputy as a way to learn from him and figure out how best to one day help her clan just as much. I think they would end up with a strong mentor/apprentice type relationship too sometimes. Sorry for the word vomit here.

A POSSIBLE FUTURE MINI-PLOT IDEA:
- Well when I was a kid we had this game when we went swimming were there would through plastic rings in the pool and you had to swim down to get them, what if we did a game like that for swim practice? Winner gets a prize.
- A patrol finds a lost kid and they have to figure out how to help it and get it home.
- This one is so cheesy but think: buried treasure quest on the beach
- My cat is a reincarnation of a dead SummerClan cat so in a more one-on-one sense we could do something where she realizes it and questions whether she can be the deputy after all and Ratstar can react to that as he sees fit lol
