Enjoys violence a bit too much sometimes.[TW's for backstory: mention of birth/stillbirth]Briarsplash was found by ShadowClan when she stumbled into their camp one day around 14 moons old, exhausted and malnourished. They had no idea, but she'd birthed a stillborn kit just hours prior, one that had overgrown and starved in her womb. To this day, she has still never told anyone about this, preferring to keep her secrets close to her heart. She'd collapsed as soon as she'd found the ring of cats she'd heard about, knowing they were her last chance of survival before she blacked out.Taking pity on the young cat (and seeing promise in her potential), ShadowClan took her into the fold and trained her as a warrior apprentice. At the time, she had no name (having grown up as an abandoned rogue her whole life). So she was given the prefix Briar- due to her beautiful but powerful appearance, as well as the prickly attitude that resided below the surface, like the thorny plant. She was determined to prove herself, fighting to quickly complete her training and prove herself as a member of ShadowClan despite her origins. She found a home there, a place to belong. When the time came for her hard-won warrior ceremony, Briarpaw was given the suffix -splash due to the colorful, splashy nature of her dilute tortoiseshell coat.Nowadays, Briarsplash still maintains her drive to make her Clan see how useful and strong she can be while still being her angsty self (fitting that she stumbled into ShadowClan, of all places). Due to reasons she certainly wouldn't go into, she is very sensitive to rejection and others taking advantage of her; because of this she strives to make sure she won't be doubted nor overpowered ever again (well, as much as she can help it). You can often find her trying to shape up her apprentices into fit warriors or doing many things to prove her worth to the Clan. While she'd never want to admit it, she craves intimacy and closensess of friendship (and perhaps something more, someday).Perhaps someone can break through the hardened shell one day...As of recently, Briarsplash was promoted to Enforcer. This felt like a new leaf to her, her hard work and belonging to the Clan finally being recognized. Now in a position of (some) power, she feels like her life is finally falling into place... for now.
