Cats of Thundergrowth: Bishop Blizzardstorm

Names: Blizzard, Blizzardpaw, Blizzardstorm

Identity: Cisgender molly- she/her

Orientation: Bisexual- Tom leaning

Rank: Bishop

Former Rank(s): Crafter Apprentice, Bishop's Heir

A large blue-gray tabby molly with patches of yellow scales on her shoulders and the back of her neck. While large she is very skinny for a Thunder and has very long thin legs, making her one of the tallest cats in all of Thundergrowth, which makes her very imposing when she lectures you.

Blizzardstorm was born to Loonflower of Thundergrowth and Shreddedear of Windmoor, but she wouldn't learn of her father until he came barging into the camp all but demaning her and her sister, Snow. Her mother giving her up without a fight formed a crack in her heart, and it only got bigger when she learn that her uncle Goosefeather was the one to force Loonflower to fight for the sisters, which caused her death under the claws of Hawkheart. This also strained her relationship with her father, who the Bishop of Windmoor had exile him to Thundergrowth to be the father he wished to be. Blaming him for the death of her mother, and turning his attention to Harpyshine, a Drifter who recently joined, as if Loonflower didn't matter...as if she and Snow didn't matter. The nick in her ear was the last gift Shreddedear gave her when she tried to gain his attention. The crack grew bigger in her heart.

Of course her relationship didn't help with her relationship with Snow, the two sisters pulling apart once they were made into apprentices. While Blizzardpaw wanted to make Shreddedear proud of her and pay attention, Snowpaw wanted nothing to do with their Sire. She hated that she share the blood of someone from a different Kingdom, hated the fact that she started grew feathers along her neck. Blizzardpaw and then Blizzardstorm had tried her best to help her sister, but it didn't help with Thistleclaw of Riverglade started whispering in Snowgale's ears, saying that maybe a new start would help her. The two sisters would argue about it fiercely, but Blizzardstorm would gain claw marks as a goodbye as Snowgale went to Riverglade to join her mate. And thus the crack grew even more.

The only good thing in her life that Blizzardstorm thinks is her kit, Rosetteanthem. Born from in a litter of three from a bout of weakness between her and Haddockbounce of Riverglade, she couldn't help but love her three kits. But that winter from Chinoa's wails were fierce. She needed to bring all her attention towards her kingdom as her predecessor and uncle was slowly wasting away, she was all but ruling Thundergrowth. So with a heavy heart, she gave two of her kits to their father, while keeping her strongest daughter. She is very attached to her, but also strict, fearing for what the Gods have in store for her daughter and hoping to sway her to a new path.

She is very tired, but she stands strong for her comrades, the burden of their faith for her on her shoulders. Though she finds herself staring at the newest member of the Kingdom, and is wondering if the stars are finally giving her a break, if they will finally allow her to rest

hmm for the five truths... blizzardstorm, rosetteanthem, haddockbounce (any/all of the combined cat s actually)

Five truths for all three!

Blizzardstorm

Blizzardstorm loves her Kingdom, she would do anything for it, but she knew that Thundergrowth’s love for her was conditional. When she had only been five moons old, her father, Shreddedear, the Attendant of Heatherwing came for her and her sister. And Thundergrowth let him take him, not wanting anything to do with the half breeds. Split Kit deals were ok and encouraged to keep the blood fresh, but kits from the love of two Felis from different kingdoms were wrong and hated. She knew the only reason Thundergrowth came for her was because Goosefeather order it…because she was to be the next Bishop. They dod not care for her… they did not care for Snow… and they did not care for her mother, Loonflower

Blizzardstorm hated her father, she wanted nothing to do with him even when he had tried after Bishop Heatherwing had exiled him to Thundergrowth to be the “father” he wanted to be. She hated him more when he got with Harpyshine, the former drifter who joined moons before she was born. She hated that he had moved on from Loonflower so quickly, when she died because of him. She was not saddened at all when he pass during the Great Second Hunger, before his and Harpyshine’s litter second litter was born

Blizzardstorm’s relationship with her sister, Snowgale was strained after their mother’s death and even more strained when Snowgale began to talk with Thistleclaw of Riverglade. She thought the tom was a bad influence on her littermate, making her hate herself for being halfkingdom and making her more blood thirsty. She hated Thistleclaw when the other encourage Snowgale to leave Thundergrowth and become fully River, in an attempt to cut ties of her bad blood. She hated him when this cause her sister’s death during a battle for Sunningrocks, her sister crushed underneath rubble just when she just had her son Bristle.

Blizzardstorm loved her children, Rosette, Duck, Primrose but she knew it was not in Lady Nocta’s plans for her to have children. She knew that her children were not safe… not with the dreams of blood and the taste of it when she woke. But she knew for their safety she could not raise them… at least not all of them. She mourns for Duck and Primrose but she knew that they were in a safer place she hope that she made the right decision

She is very much bisexual.

Haddockbounce

He did not get his broken jaw from being chase by Goosefeather. Instead he had slipped on some rocks in the Wallow Pool where the kits of the River learn to swim. His mother, Rainflower had tried to get him rename into Crooked but the Bishop at the time Brambleberry didn’t allow for it and this had her declare unfit as a mother and had her rights over Sweet and Haddock away. Patchshell also divorce her.

Haddock still left Riverglade for a bit, Rainflower while no longer his mother, still spit vile things at the poor kit blaming him for splitting their family apart. He found himself at the Outpost, and soon found himself under the care of Ignis and his sister, Uetus who just had her kits. While there he met many Felis and other creatures who were traveling through Gatali. There he learn to be proud of himself, and not what others say bother him. When he left, Ignis followed him.

When he returned, he was welcome with amazement and happiness, and soon found himself apprenticed under none other than Bishop Brambleberry, much to the displeasure of Thistleclaw who has been trying to convince the Bishop that he was her heir, for he too spoke to the Wraiths. But Bishop Brambleberry had told him that the spirits that he talk to had no good intentions for him and that he need to stop speaking to them. To this day, Haddockbounce does not believe he listen to her.

He got the suffix bounce for how no matter how many times he has fallen, stumbled or push down he always seem to get back onto his paws with a smile on his face.

No one questioned him when he brought Stone and Moss into the camp, no one question him on who their mother was. There was no doubt that they were his children, with his markings on their pelt. While whispers come and go, no one spoke ill of them in front of him or the two, knowing they would only get glares. But whispers are still spoken, at the blue in their pelt

Rosetteanthem

She was the weakest of her litter, and was thought to not survive and yet she did, growing bigger and bigger each day. It is thought that Lady Solta had bless her with not only her markings but her strength

She doesn’t remember much of her littermates, she had been young when a fox had supposedly been brave enough to sneak in and snatch them up. And yet, she sometimes questions why the fox didn’t get her as well, with her being the weakest at the time.

For as long as she remembers, Rosetteanthem had dreams of blood, of some threat that was to come. That she was to prevent it… and yet Goosefeather didn’t give her to her mother to train… instead he gave her to Harpyshine… her mother when she took over, did not take up her training. The path to the Bishop was close to her, but she keeps an eye on the kits, any of who can be the next Bishop… she hopes that she can prove to be an helpful advisor, to one day be an Attendant

Rosetteanthem doesn’t have many friends. She has mostly followers, Darkstripe who wanted to anger his father Goosefeather stayed by her side, Daffodilfang soon follow wanted to be close to Darkstripe…. The one she really can’t count as her friend is Lavendernose, who always try to make it her goal to smile

She is terrified of water, having almost been drown in the river. She swears to this day that some Felis had pulled her into the river and had push her under. And she makes sure to stay far from it anytime she patrols the border between them and Riverglade
