Echosong
Getting To Know Me
| âGenderâ | "Thatâs rude of you to ask."
Female
| âAgeâ | "Too old if you ask me."
Fifteen Moons
| âLikeâ | "Well, letâs see. Sleeping in the sun, eating in the sun, hunting in the sun.."
Echosong enjoys napping on warm, sunny days and stargazing on warm nights. For this reason, Echosong enjoys days off and lazy days without much working because she can sleep in late and stay up late as well. However, despite her love of lazing around, Echosong also enjoys running, hunting, and fishing.
| âDislikesâ | "Ohh.. Donât even get me started."
For many reasons, Echosong despises dogs and two-legged. The two combined are her absolute worst nightmare. Echosong also hates the snow and cold, dark weather in general.
| âHabitsâ | "None. Can I leave now?"
Somewhere in her life, Echosong picked up the horrible habit of chewing and licking at her right paw. It may have been a nervous habit at one point, but now she simply does it when is bored. Echosong also has very odd sleeping patterns - especially in the summer and spring days. She enjoys staying up late to gaze at the stars and she also likes getting up late in the afternoon when she can.
| âPhysical Appearanceâ | "Just donât call me âsmallâ, okay?"
Echosong is a on the smaller side - especially for a Bengal cat. At first glance she seems to be underweight, but she really just has a slight build and happens to be a rather sleek and beautiful cat. Rather than brute strength, she is built more for swiftness, agility, and tactics. She may not seem very intimidating; however, her piercing green eyes, sharp wit, and agility will surprise you. She also has a scar that runs from the top of her right shoulder to the center of her chest.
| âClan/Position in the Clanâ | "I may not be clan-born, but Iâm proud to be Thunderclan."
Thunderclan, Warrior
| âPersonalityâ | "I ain't lazy, but I like when I have time off to be lazy."
Echosong is a cat who is known for her predominant easy-going attitude. She has been known to let mistakes made by others slide. However, the cats of Thunderclan know very well that this is not a sign of weakness. When it comes to endangerment of the Clan or a member of the Clan, Echosong instantly becomes the fierce warrior that she is known to be.
Echosong is protective and extremely respectful of every clan member. Echosong is extremely loyal to the clan and would do anything to ensure the good of Thunderclan. After everything that they have done for her, she feels the need to give them her all. Most of the time, Echosong is joking around with the cats, playing with the kits, or hunting alongside the warriors. She enjoys laying in the sun surrounded by her Clan rather than being secluded in the den.
Despite her normally lax, fun nature, Echosong is always prepared to be a strong, noble warrior. In a matter of seconds, she can slick her fur back, put a stern face on, and stand proudly so that she looks taller than she really is. Despite her small stature, when Echosong gets serious, angry, or determined, she is a force to be reckoned with. Her voice goes from light-hearted to thick and commanding. When she wants to be heard or known, she will be.
| âEating Preferencesâ| "I'll eat anything."
Despite her small stature, Echosong has been known to love food. She normally does not eat a lot because she feels it is best to save food for when it is needed, but she loves to eat and will eat pretty much any prey that is caught. Her favorite would probably be fish or squirrel.
Under My Fur
|âSecretsâ | "I try not to keep them."
Echosong often hides the fact that she believes she is not strong enough to be a warrior. Although she dreams of being leader and acts as strong and noble as she can, Echosong does not believe herself to possess enough strength to become leader.
|âFears/Phobiasâ | "I'm certainly not afraid to admit my fears, but the reasons behind them are for me and only me to know."
Echosong is extremely afraid of dogs and two-legged for various reasons such as them being the reason for her mother's death and because both are frightening in any case. Although she does not fear death, Echosong does fear dying alone. She would gladly lay down her life for her Clan, but she fears that she will die with no one around. She also fears that she will not have found love before she dies, although that is something she would never admit.
|âSerious Problems/Flawsâ | "Can we skip this question?"
Her most significant flaw is that she doubts herself. Despite the fact that she often puts on a tough act, Echosong has a serious problem with thinking she is not good enough. She pretends that she is strong and noble-hearted; however, she constantly beats herself up because she believes she does not deserve her high rank in within the Clan. Lately, Echosong's old mentor, Wildstorm, has been consoling her on this, telling her that he believes she has what it takes to be leader of Thunderclan.
|âHistoryâ | "Luckily, I canât remember most of the bad stuff thatâs happened."
Echosong was born to a Loner mother, Lark, who could barely take care of her son, Ren, much less her new yet-to-be-named daughter. Echosong's mother had foolishly created their nest close to a two-leg nest so that she would be away from the clans and have easy access to the food scraps of the two-legged. However, one day the two-legged's dog got off of its leash while Lark was searching through the garbage bin. Lark hastily grabbed her 3-week-old kit by the scruff and nudged Ren, telling him they had to go. However, the dog had already spotted the trio. Lark ran as fast as she could and got rather far into the woods before the dog caught up to her. He scratched at Lark and Echosong - giving her the scar that she has on her chest - but Lark was able to momentarily overpower the dog and get Echosong to safety. She carefully hid her kit in a hole inside a tree before she was dragged down by the dog. Perhaps Echosong was too young to remember the events, or maybe she has just been very good at blocking them out. Whatever the case, the warrior claims that she only remembers getting the scratch on her chest and nothing else.
Luckily, in all of the commotion, Ren had been able to escape. However, Echosong never saw her brother again. She hopes with all her heart that he was able to find a clan or was able to fend for himself in the wild, but Echosong truly has no idea what happened to him. Echosong was left in that tree for a day and a half until Quickstrike, her adoptive father, finally found the sight of her mother's murder on a hunting trip. He heard her pitiful mews and rushed her back to Thunderclan where her wound was tended to and she was given milk by Quickstrike's nursing mate, Cloverfrost. No one knows if Echosong really had a name before she came to Thunderclan, but she was given the name Echokit and was quickly taken in as a Thunderclan member with her new sibling, Morningkit. Cloverfrot says that the reason she was called Echokit was because when she came to Thunderclan, Echosong was all but mute. She was shy and refused the speak to anyone there. After about a moon, around the time when the clan decided she would be an official member of Thunderclan, she finally began to speak to her adoptive family. But at first, she would only echo the mews, purrs, and sometimes words of the cats around her. Therefore, they decided that Echokit was the best suited name.
Echosong grew up as a normal cat. Despite her unusual upbringings and her sad backstory, she was a very social and loving cat. Although unlikely as Echosong may have thought, she always wanted to be a warrior and even more so the leader of Thunderclan. She simply wanted to protect the cats that had taken her in so graciously. When she turned 6 moons, there was some debate over whether she would be an apprentice. A decision was made that Echosong would be an apprentice, but she would have to wait until she was 7 moons. She waited patiently and finally, on the day she turned 7 moons, she became an apprentice to Wildstorm, one of the strongest warriors at the time. He was a bit hesitant at being mentor to a non-native-born cat, but Echosong grew on him and he came to love the ambitious, determined, and strong kit.
After several moons of training, Echosong finally received her warrior name and has been a proud warrior of Thunderclan ever since. She has dreams of one day being leader; however, she knows that that is a long shot -especially since she is not native-born. She feels that she has finally proven herself to Thunderclan and only wants to serve them to her absolute fullest as their leader. Every morning, she wakes up and thanks Starclan for everything she has been given.
|âAcquaintancesâ| "I enjoy the company of most of my fellow warriors."
Echosong is friends with many of the warriors and other cats of the clan; however she rarely forms deep bonds with anyone. She prefers to keep simple acquaintances.
|âFamilyâ | "Iâd rather not talk about it."
Echosong has two families: her biological and her adoptive. Her biological family consists of an unknown father, a deceased mother (Lark) and an older brother (Ren) whose status and whereabouts are unknown. Her adoptive family consists of a living mother (Cloverfrost) whom she loves very much, a living father (Quickstrick) whom she does not really know too well, and a sister (Morningfire) whom she is extremely close with.
|âTechniquesâ| "Iâm built for speed and I use that to my advantage."
As previously stated, Echosong is not made to be extremely strong or burly by any means. She is small and is built to be quick and flexible. She uses this to sneak around and stay silent during an ambush of prey.
|âThoughts on Othersâ | "This is a noble, loving clan and I would not dare say that I dislike anyone."
Since being brought into the clan, Echosong has made a vow to never disrespect or outwardly hate anyone in the clan. However, there are several cats that get under her fur- mostly those who think she does not deserve her position. For example, there is a tom warrior who believes that she should not have even been able to become an apprentice to Wildstorm - one of the greatest warriors at the time she apprenticed him.
