» Personality Traits

[ positive ]: -
Social - Motherly - Selfless :
Heavywhisker is a very social cat. Actually, she hates to be alone. Very rarely will you ever find her by herself. She appreciates the company of others and doesn't like to be left alone with her own thoughts. She's very compassionate and motherly. It's not unlike her to be motherly, to an extent, towards all clanmates even if they are much older than she is. She's a good one to talk to if you need to get something off your chest. Despite her plump appearance, Heavywhisker is pretty selfless as well. During the leaf-bare months, she's been known to eat as little as she possible can so that her clanmates will have more. The weight still sticks to her though.
[ neutral ]: -
Family-oriented - Opinionated - Faithful
Heavywhisker is extremely family-oriented. Her life revolves around her family, her clanmates, and the most importantly the kits under her care. They all come first, above her own well-being. There's nothing more that she wants than to have a happy family... even if her own is practically bursting at the seams... She's also quite opinionated. She's not one to hold back when she has an opinion, clearly stating it whether it's right or wrong. She was very uncertain on her belief in Starclan, but began to cling to it with time. When the war ended and she was visited by Adderstrike, her belief was cemented. She is a firm worshipper of Starclan now.
[ negative ]: -
Sharp-tongued - Overprotective - Self-depreciative
Whisk used to be a very lazy cat, but when the chaos with the rogues began she quickly grew out of this. Heavywhisker is a true sweet-heart, but she's very sharp-tongued. It's hard to anger her, but when you do... Look out. She's not afraid to verbally rip you a new one. She may not be about to physically fight you, but she can make you feel like the dirt at her feet. She's extremely overprotective and paranoid... constantly fearing more heartbreak to her family. Due to all of the trauma that she has experienced, she has become very self-depreciative. She thinks very lowly of herself, scum of the clan.
» History
-
[ kithood ] :
Heavywhisker was born to Hayberry and Rainscent of Thunderclan. She was named Heavykit, due to the fact that she was quite plump and stocky when she was born. She had two littermates, Dustykit and Adderkit. The union of Hayberry and Rainscent was less than ideal... Hayberry had left his previous mate to become mates with Rainscent. This left a sour taste in the mouths of Heavykit's older brothers, Cloudheart, Bonestripe, Kestralcall, and Sunnyeyes. Other than this, her kithood was pretty uneventful. Her mother was a bit withdrawn, but she was still loved by her father and brothers... Cloudheart and Sunnyeyes remained distant.
[ apprenticeship ] :
Heavykit became Heavypaw and was assigned to an experienced warrior named Redfang. He was tough on her, but that was necessary seeing as how she was already rather lazy in her youth as well. He trained her hard but well. Her babyfat dropped off, instead turning into muscle and prowess. She obviously would make a formidable warrior... until one fateful day. Redwing had been teaching her how to hunt in the trees. The large she-cat had misjudged the strength of the branch she leapt on. It wasn't strong enough to hold her and she snapped, falling from the tall tree. She wasn't able to land on all fours, instead all of her weight and momentum crashing down onto one hindleg and snapping it. Unfortunately, this was the end of Heavypaw's future as a warrior.
[ Kitbearer... hood? xD) ] :
After a few moons of trying to get stronger, it became obvious to everyone that Heavypaw was never going to be the same... and she'd never be able to fight. She couldn't be a warrior anymore. It was devestating to her, but she forced herself to keep moving forwards. There were other things for her to do. She certainly wasn't going to take on the rank of elder, even if she could despite her young age. She was lazy, but she wanted to still have some sort of job to do. Thunderclan already had a medicine cat and a medicine cat apprentice.... so she turned to her maternal love for kits. She would become a kitbearer.
It was a couple of moons after becoming a kitbearer that she met Ospreyclaw. She knew very well that he'd bedded many she-cats within the clan, but that didn't seem to bother her. He was sweet, making her feel wanted, and she quickly fell to his charms. Unfortunately, she didn't want to just mess around with the tom. Her feelings stretched further than just having fun... She'd fallen in love with him. Misunderstandings happened... Heavywhisker believed that Ospreyclaw felt the same, and that he was simply waiting a little while to make sure he was ready before he asked her to be his mate.
When Lilycurl announced that Ospreyclaw was the father of Amberrose and Pinestorm, Heavywhisker was there to try to comfort him... and that's when she told him how she really felt. He was shocked by her confession, and she was shocked to find out that she'd been misunderstanding his intentions. All along, he'd only been considering her as a plaything. She was crushed and quickly retreated to mourn. This caused quite the uproar towards Ospreyclaw in camp, which only made her feel guilty. It wasn't his fault, it was hers. Ospreyclaw liked to mess around. Everyone knew this. She was the idiot that thought she was special. Turns out, she's not so special.
Just a few days after having her heart broken, Heavywhisker had a dream. In her dream, she was curled around two kits, with Ospreyclaw resting behind her. He asked her what she was going to name them; she told him she was naming then Stoatkit and Snowkit. He told them that he loved her, calling her the nickname that she loved so much- "babe." She woke up and, upset by the dream that could never be... she did something stupid. She left camp alone, breaking the rules placed by Brightstar and Cloudheart. Unfortunately, luck was not on her side. She ran into a fox not far outside of camp and, in complete terror, led it back. Many warriors attacked the fox, but it was strong. Heavywhisker helped them, but was distracted... It was a fatal mistake, but not for Heavywhisker... It was fatal for Ospreyclaw. The tan tom took the killing blow for her, his throat ripped out. Heavywhisker begged and pleaded for him to stay with her, but he didn't. He couldn't. The last thing he said was "sorry." He told her that he was sorry... and he'd not done a single thing wrong.
Heavywhisker slipped into a deep depression for a few days after that, but two little lights came quickly into her life... although their entrance was shrouded with tragedy. Wolfthroat and Mosspool had been expecting kits, and Mosspool went into labor. Two kits were born, but the she-cat didn't survive to raise them, dying during their birth. Wolfthroat gave the kits to Heavywhisker, unable to see them or even be around them. Heavywhisker was stunned as she recalled the dream she'd had just before Ospreyclaw died... Two kits. ..Stoatkit and Snowkit.
Things with Wolfthroat were tense for quite some time, until they led to a climax. Wolfthroat was verbally haughty with Heavywhisker, calling her "babe". It was the nickname that Ospreyclaw had used so many times and it sent her into a heartbroken panic attack. Realizing how cruel he'd been being to her all along, he apologized to her. They got a fresh start and became almost like partners in a sense as they worked together to raise the kits. Shortly after this is when everything went bad... again. Wolfthroat and Rosethorn got into a fight, which she would later learn was because Rosethorn was calling Wolf out on his cruel behavior towards Heavywhisker previously. Heavywhisker stepped in, Cloudheart doing the same. This led to a fight between Cloudheart and Rosie. Rosie fled... and was killed by a rogue when she got too far out into the territory... and not just any rogue. Rainscent... Heavywhisker's very own mother. The whole family was devestated and tried to pick up the pieces, but there was more heartbreak to come.
The day of war came and once it was gone... Heavywhisker and her family had lost so much. Adderstrike was killed by his and Whisk's own brother, Sunnyeyes. Cloudheart avenged him by killing Sunnyeyes. Bonestripe and Kestralcall were ripped apart by dogs. Three family members gone... just like that. To make matters worse, Dustyskies lost his leg.. just like Adderstrike had in the past. A cruel twist of fate. After the war, Cloudheart became a shell of himself... The devestated family began to fall apart at the seams, trying their best to stay together. Things were peaceful for some time until Cloudheart snapped, accidentally striking Fernpool. Heavywhisker's trust in him was badly rattled. Sometime after this, Briarpool confessed to Heavywhisker that she had slept with a kittypet, and now carried his kits. Heavywhisker didn't understand her decision, but decided to keep her secret.
Heavywhisker and Wolfthroat continued to grow closer, becoming good friends. One night they slipped out for a walk today, surprising one another by being openly affectionate. Heavywhisker took him to her special little place, where she hadn't even taken Ospreyclaw. The two frolicked for a while, ending up swimming in the little pond there. Unfortunately, it didn't last though... Heavywhisker told him about the dream she'd had before Snowkit and Stoatkit were born and how Ospreyclaw had been there... except she was beginning to doubt if it was even Ospreyclaw. She'd never seen his face and his voice had sounded almost generic. Wolfthroat reacted oddly, furious by her dream... This ended in heartache and confusion for Heavywhisker has they returned to camp. Unfortunately, so wrapped up in her emotions, she didn't think to make sure her pelt was dry before she went to sleep...
Whitecough took a grip on her and she was forced to the medicine cat den. She beat herself up, knowing that she was susceptible to getting sick easily. Unfortunately, the illness didn't stop at whitecough and spread into greencough. Her condition deteriorated and she lost weight fast. There were several points where it was thought that she might die. Things were still awkward with Wolfthroat, but they made their amends... sort of. Heavywhisker slowly improved, though it turned out her niece had contracted whitecough as well. As Briarkit worsened, Heavywhisker got better. Shortly before she was cleared, she had a talk with Wolfthroat that changed everything... As it turned out he had feelings for her, which explained his anger... and as he acted tenderly towards her she felt her own heart skip a beat. Suddenly, she realized that she too had been feeling more for Wolfthroat than she had thought. More than friendship. He had become her rock... and he meant much more to her than just a friend. After the confession that they felt more than just friendship towards one another, their courting began. Heavywhisker continued to recover from her illness, her relationship with Wolfthroat growing stronger as she did.
Another kit came into Heavywhisker's care... none other than Briarpool's kit. The she-cat passed away during the birth. Heavywhisker was saddened by her loss, but took Briarpool's son in, just as she had promised the dying she-cat. Kestrelkit, another kit who Briarpool had been raising, was also taken in by Heavywhisker. Heavywhisker treated them as if they were her own. Not too long after that, Sablestorm and Sagewhisper died. Heavywhisker wasn't close to the couple, but they were iconic members of Thunderclan. It seemed to stir something within Wolfthroat... He didn't want to have any regrets... and he asked Heavywhisker to be his mate. Overjoyed, she accepted. Not long afterwards, a kit was abandoned by her mother, Venomheart, due to a birth defect- the lack of forelimbs. Heavywhisker and Wolfthroat took her in as their own, naming her Dapplekit. Heavywhisker knows there may be a lot of heartbreak ahead... but she's prepared for it as much as she can be. Dapplekit needed a family. The little kit continued to grow, along with Heavywhisker's other youngsters. Heavywhisker couldn't be any more proud of her children. Unfortuantely, the day came that Dapplekit found out she couldn't be a warrior... and who her real mother was. Heavywhisker worries for her deeply, but will be there alongside Wolfthroat, the whole way. Tragedy struck once again... Dustyskies's mate, Thrushstrike, died during kitting. Heavywhisker was devastated for her brother's loss, vowing to be there for him and the one surviving kit, Thrushkit.
Heavywhisker continued to gain weight, becoming her typical curvy body type once again... Though it seemed there was a little something extra aiding her in that weight gain... As it turned out, Heavywhisker was pregnant. It had been unintentional, but she and Wolfthroat were delighted nevertheless. They were going to have a family of their own! Unfortunately, their happiness was dampered when the plague swept through the clans. Dustyskies, Azaleapaw, and Tigerpaw fell ill... and Heavywhisker was forced to watch as her family once again had to fight for their lives. While the plague was going on, Heavywhisker gave birth to two little girls. They were named Turtlekit and Fireflykit, two names that held special meaning to Wolfthroat and Heavywhisker. The night they'd begun to realize they had feelings for one another, they'd gone to a pond surrounded by fireflies and made jokes about turtles. The names had stuck.
The cure to the plague was found and all of the Thunderclan cats began to heal. No lives were lost, and things became peaceful once more. Stoatpaw and Snowpaw graduated, becoming Stoatfur and Snowhare. Heavywhisker couldn't be any more proud, even if a bit sad to see them growing up so soon. Not long afterwards, Cloudheart's children became warriors... and then Rabbitwhisker was killed by a fox. Heavywhisker had just been starting to help the young tom. She was saddened by his loss, wishing she'd been able to do more. Shortly afterwards, the fire ravaged through the clans. Fortunately, her family made it out alive. Tigerlily was killed by a fox only shortly afterwards, leaving her family heartbroken once more. When they were able, they returned to Thunderclan. When Cloudheart was badly injured by a fox, she feared the worse, but he pulled through... It seemed the challenges that life kept throwing at her family were endless.... yet they ALWAYS overcame them.
