Detailed Description
Cardnalsong is a handsome, broad shouldered red tabby with deep, charming amber eyes. His tail is long furred and wavy and his paws are lighter in fur color than his base color. His muzzle is slightly shorter than most cats and has skinny black dashes down the sides.He was named for the deep red color of his pelt and how it resembles a cardinal; the -song part was added because of his sweet, gentle singing voice. When this tom-cat sings, it's almost as if you can hear the forest singing along with him.
Personality
Cardnalsong is a proud cat. He enjoys hunting the most, because he can be alone and sharpen his skills; he also likes fighting because he loves watching the others cats flee. It makes him feel important. Cardnalsong wants an apprentice more than anything; he hopes to mentor Sootkit.
History
(first person!)
I am Cardinalsong, and I am here to tell you how I came to be here...

I all started with a young, tortoiseshell loner named Bird. She met a proud red tabby named Falcon. They fell in love, these were by parents. My mother became pregnant with me and my sister a loon after she met my father. It was the middle of leaf-bare. Bird went into labor during a raging blizzard. and to make matters worse, we were born a moon early. Falcon lay by the mother's side. Reassuring her through rapid licks. After many painful bloody hours, I and my sister Snow were born. My father was so proud of us nd never let us out of his sight for the first two days of our lives. But the labor was too hard for my mother and she died three days after we were born. Divested, Falcon buried her right where they first met, in between two stones in a small meadow. He mourned for her that night, keeping us warm beside him.

In the morning he layed a violet and a bird feather on her grave, and then went out to find his sister Hollow, who recently, had just had kits. We journeyed all that night, we being pulled on a leaf through the heavy Snowfall. We finally made it to the warm sheltered stump where Hollow lived.

Our aunt had three kits, Fern, Starlight, and Bouncer. We fit in perfectly and Hollow fell in love with us as if we were her own. Me and snow grew big and strong and soon we were able to hunt on our own. One day when I was hunting hear an old stump, I was tackled by a flurry of cream and brown fur.

She was beautiful. Her eyes were a blue and round as the full moon. Her paws were so little, they looked to small to be out on the forest floor. She was very petite and gentle-looking; almost delicate. But boy! She could fight! We rolled around on the fallen leaves for what seemed three moons, fighting with tooth and claw. Finally I pushed her off and she feel down, exhausted. We struggled up and glared at each other with a equally threatening glance.

"What are you doing on WillowClan territory!" she spat, her neck fur bristling.

"WillowClan?! I was just hunting!" I spat back.

"Well, go hunt in your own territory!"

"I don't have any territory. What do you mean?" I asked. I was so confused. What was she talking about.

Her fur began to lay flat and she settled down a bit. "You're not from around here are you. I mean the clans."

"Clans? I'm a loner. I live with my father Falcon, my aunt Hollow, and my sister and cousins."

"That's why you don't recognize the scent markers." she sighed, licked her shoulder to get the fur to lye flat."

"What clans?" I asked again, curious.

"The forest clans. You've never heard of them?"

I shook my head. I hadn't heard of them, but they seemed nice.

"Let me show you!" she meowed, jumping up and waving her tail. "I'm Galepaw."

"Cardinal." I mewed. "But what about my family?"

"They'll be OK. They would want what was best for you." Galepaw meowed gently, flicking her tail on my shoulder before padding off. I looked back one more time before sprinting after her, my heart heavy, but my paws light.
IC
Cardinalsong slipped through the ferns that lined the clan camp. He slipped silently into the forest, his ears alert for ny sign of danger. A twig snapped behind him and Cardinalsong twisted around, his neck fir bristling. A tail disapheared into a bush. Quietly, Cardinalsong stepped forward and sniffed the bush.

"Snow?" Cardianlsong whispered, poking his head through.

"Cardinal?" Snow asked sticking her white head through.

"I'm Cardinalsong now." Cardinaksong meowed, puffing out his chest.

"Oh. I've missed you brother." The white tabby meowed, licking her brother's cheek.

"And I've missed you." Cardinalsong licked his sister's shoulder. "But I must go. My clan will worry." And with that, the red warrior leapt out of the bush and rn back to camp.
