    ☆ SMALL, LITHE BLACK SMOKE WITH SILVER EYES
    4d5460.png

    nightbird is a dark furred smoke with a small, lithe frame. she lacks the sheer strength typical of thunderclanners, instead donning a lightweight build that allows her to be incredibly agile. sharp facial features are defined by black tabby stripes and a narrowed silver gaze. she has large pointed ears, the left one harboring a nick from a skirmish. her fur is feathered in texture, tufts define her jawline and neck while hanging closer to her body along her flanks. she has a long plumed tail, aiding in her balance and speed. one small paw is capped in a snowy white, the foreleg above marred with a scar as result of a bite wound.

CONFIDENT / DRIVEN / BOLD / SARCASTIC / PERCEPTIVE / VENGEFUL / LOGICAL
known most kindly for her unwavering loyalty, nightbird breathes only for thunderclan. seemingly always at work, she is not above even the most menial of tasks if they will secure a more prosperous position for the clan. confident, nearly unshakable, nightbird is cognizant of her talents and downfalls as well as how to use them to her advantage. her silver gaze tends to pry granting her with a skill to decipher others as well, a gift majorly used to effectively get under skin. consistent in her morals, it would be rare that she puts one above the safety of the clan, herself included. she does not tolerate lying, a strong believer in honesty even if it is harsh. despite her cold and cautious demeanor, she is far from the perfect picture of stoicism. quick wit allows her to send and return quips and insults lightheartedly. while her jokes aren't always for the faint of heart, they are not usually mean spirited when directed to her clan.

  • IN GAME BATTLE HISTORY
    ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩
    ​
    ​
  • nightbird is a skilled combatant and has mastered using her small size to her own advantage. she has a fast-paced fighting style that utilizes her agility, often trying to land a multitude quick and softer hitting blows in favor of larger ones. she works to tire out her opponent to force them into concession rather than killing, but will do so if necessary. she is not above fighting dirty, especially when at extreme disadvantage, sand, dirt, leaves, or whatever is conveniently nearby may be used to temporarily blind or distract an opponent. difficult to rile, especially in battle, she makes calculated attacks with a level head.

    nightbird is better equipped for offensive attacks and tends to struggle more when stuck on defense. if given the choice, she will try her best to pick an opponent who is near her in size although she will take on anyone who attacks first. if a fight is avoidable, depending on circumstance she may attempt to talk the situation down before resulting to violence.
    ​

  • open to anything not mentioned below.
    closed to death, life threatening injuries unless pre-plotted.

    ⭃ generally i do not roll for battles, but i try to stay as realistic as possible regarding what hits and what does not.

MENTORING ☾
✩ I. teaching style II. skills/focus III. additional information
  • CURRENTLY MENTORING NONE
    former apprentices @LIGHTSTRIKE ., @DUSKBIRD, @PALEFIRE ​
    ​
  • high expectations with little encouragement, nightbird is not necessarily a remarkable teacher, especially for those who aren't incredibly self-motivated. despite a colder approach, she is very invested in the success of her apprentice and does not respond well to apathy regarding training.

    she has a tendency to treat them more like adults and tries to build a more respect based relationship as long as hard work and dedication are shown. because of this, nightbird rarely has her apprentice stuck with chores all day unless it is a punishment. she believes that their time is much better spent practicing than pulling ticks.

    very straight-forward and more often than not harsh, she will not likely be a good match for meeker apprentices. she gives honesty, and expects the same in return. she likes a good amount of independence in a trainee and fosters that by allowing them to get out of their own messes as long as they are not in direct danger. nightbird may test them in unorthodox ways in order to be fully confident they are ready to be a worthy warrior.
    ​
  • nightbird is a well rounded warrior and that reflects in her training as well. however, her primary focus is on fighting and spends most training sessions on it. her apprentices will generally be highly skilled combatants by the time they graduate with average to strong hunting skills. *


    FIGHTING
    ⭃ her skill will hopefully reflect onto any apprentice she has. she trains this hard, ultimately believing that it will be the most beneficial for survival as a thunderclanner. nightbird will teach multiple styles, how to play both offense and defense, as well as how to play to her apprentice's specific strengths and their enemies weaknesses. a good amount of knowledge on the other clans will be taught to help this, they should have a good grasp on each one's specific strength and how to counter it.

    nightbird also really pushes for learning the ins and outs of the mental side of a fight. by graduation she will expect calmness in battle and the ability to make level decisions in the heat of the moment. she is a big advocate for awareness, both of your environmental surroundings and others around you. she will teach how to get into an opponents head to make them angry and reckless, whether or not this is picked up and put to use will depend on the apprentice.


    HUNTING
    ⭃ nightbird will start with the basics, hunter's crouch, navigating the undergrowth, best locations depending on season, following a scent, wind direction, etc. she believes that proficiency in hunting comes from practice and just general luck. after the first few moons, nearly all hunting practice will be done through patrols rather than training sessions dedicated to it.

    she will expect additional practice to be done during down time, whether or not this is fulfilled will depend on the apprentice resulting in the variance of skillset upon graduation. if there are questions or struggles in a certain area she will help and revisit training but is overall unlikely to spend a long time solely on hunting.


    BONUS SKILLS
    ⭃ climbing she is skilled in the area, yet nowhere near that of a skyclanner. any apprentice of hers will know how to safely get up and back down a tree at the least. she does not necessarily look for mastery of this upon graduation, it is mostly just an extra skill that may help keep them safe when there is danger on the ground. she does not train hunting in the trees, and would likely warn against it as the risk often outweighs the reward.
    ⭃ stealth nightbird's light weight and dark pelt allow her to be extremely stealthy through the undergrowth. while she will try and teach lessons on mastering the skill, it came very easy to her so she has a harder time doing so. more observant apprentices may have an easier time picking this skill up for this reason.
    ⭃ tracking this is another skill that came easy to nightbird due to her analytical and observant nature. she will teach basics best she can, but like stealth only apprentices who are able to learn by watching will prosper.

    ​
  • ⭃ nightbird has previously and will continue to allow her apprentices to fight in battles. it gives her a good gauge of where they are at within a real situation. however, she will not send them in untrained. if they can fight or not wholly depends on where they are at in training and if she believes they would be able to handle themselves.

    ⭃ outside training is not permitted under normal circumstances or unless permission is explicitly given. she does not step in on anyone else's training and expects the same respect given towards her. group trainings are an exception and will be permitted.

    ⭃ training sessions are generally held every day and are not weather dependent. time will depend on if they are sent on a dawn or dusk patrol and may vary day to day. she tries to avoid super early sessions because she is not a huge morning cat, but will do them if she has to.

    ⭃ very much "you get what you give". apprentices are expected to take an active role in their training. if nightbird teaches something, she expects it to be practiced to perfection on the apprentice's own time so that they are able to move on in the next session. she will not pour effort into someone uninterested in learning and if that is an ongoing issue she may push for a reassignment.
