She had seen it, she knew she had seen it. A flash of brown fur against the snow, quick as lightning, vanishing into the pristine white. A rabbit, tucked away in some hidden burrow just beneath the surface. Halfsun hadn't even thought, just reacted, muscles coiling, claws flexing, and then she had pounced.
And now she was stuck.
The snow had given way the second her paws made contact, swallowing her whole like some cruel, frozen, beast. Now she was chest-deep in the drift, her hind legs scrabbling uselessly against the slippery surface as she tried to haul herself free. Cold seeps through her fur, burrowing into her skin, and her tail lashes behind her in a mixture of frustration and embarrassment. This was exactly why she hated leaf-bare.
"Fox-dung!" she spits, ears flattening as she wiggles again, only to find herself sinking deeper. The snow clung to her fur, soaking her completely and she could already feel the chill stiffening her limbs. perfect. Just perfect. She is vaguely aware of Lavenderpaw's presence nearby, though she cannot see him from her current vantage point. "Well Lavenderpaw, first lesson of the day, don't go jumping into snowdrifts without checking how deep they are first" despite her frustration, she can't help but to laugh at herself. What a site she must be right now. She wiggles her shoulders, only for the snow to shift again and make her sink even further.
Before she could instruct her apprentice on how to get her out of the predicament she had gotten herself into, she hears the sound of paw steps approaching. Her head turns sharply, mismatched eyes locking onto whoever had just arrived. Her expression was an unreadable mask of annoyance and feigned dignity despite the fact that she was, undeniably, wedged into a snowdrift like a complete mouse-brain. "If you laugh," she warns the newcomer "I will make sure you regret it." she meant to sound intimidating, but it was hard to be menacing when the only thing she could move freely was her tail.

A tall and well-toned she cat with a long half-and half pelt, one side being a dark blue tabby and the other a bright cream, split by a pool of white at her center and travelling up her face like flames she is fire and ice simultaneously swirling into one. Her eyes are a mismatched shade of blue, with one being bright like the daytime sky and the other dark like the depths of the river.
