personality
flamingstar is a good-natured she-cat. she is fair and accepting of many quirks, and has a good attitude about loners and rogues. blood doesn't matter to her, especially because she has no true living relatives. she values friendship greatly, though is hesitant at first when it comes to making them. while she is very slow to judge, once she makes her judgement, it is final unless the cat can somehow prove her judgement wrong.
being lazy is one of her favorite things, though duty calls and she rises to it. she's very dedicated to her clan, and adores most of her clanmates. the territory calms her, and if she's worried, that's where she'll be. she's a touch introverted from time to time, and enjoys time spent one-on-one with cats she holds dear, as well as time alone with her thoughts. however, her life has never allowed for her to become anti-social, and she handles crowds well. she's a versatile cat, and has played several different roles and grown from them.

experiencekithood. xxflamingkit was born to two vertigoclan cats that made a very comical couple. her mother, scorchnose, was a comical she-cat, full of life and love and silliness. her mate, however, was stoic and solemn, though he loved deeply and fully, and he fit together with scorchnose like her other half. they were young when they had flamingkit, though not scandalously so. their apprenticeships had long since ended, and flamingkit's father had trained two cats and was halfway through training his third when scorchnose discovered she was pregnant.
they adored their daughter, teaching her everything they could and doting upon her as much and as often as possible. she was spoiled, yes, but most were amused that her stone-faced father was capable of showing such emotion and acting so kit-like. it made apprentices admire how good of a father he was, and scorchnose only loved him more dearly for it.
in her fourth moon, flamingkit experienced her first tragedy - the loss of her parents. flamingkit had snuck out of camp on a dare from some of her fellow kits, and she'd bumped into her father. he was in the process of scolding her when a badger came across them and attacked. flamingkit ran to hide, unable to help, when she saw her mother stalking prey. before she could open her mouth to warn her mother to get more warriors, scorchnose was at her mate's side, trying to fight off the badger. it seemed as though they were doing better side-by-side, so flamingkit dashed off in the direction of camp to get help.
several hours later, one badger was dead, two cats had joined starclan, and flamingkit was an orphan. no one was ever too sure of how things had gone down. apparently there'd been three badgers in the area, and her parents took one down only to be taken by surprise by two more. they were already exhausted, and by what the patrol could tell, her father had died protecting her mother, who had been mortally wounded and bled out by the time he'd died as well. flamingkit was alone, and the remaining queens in the nursery tried their best to care for her.
apprenticehood. xx
after the tragic loss of her parents, flamingkit met chasmkit and abysskit, two siblings that made her life more interesting. chasmkit was handsome even then, for she was so captivated by him that she'd memorized his pelt and fallen head over paws (or so she had thought) by the time they became apprentices. they were apprenticed to the leader and the deputy, flamingpaw with lynxstar, whom had looked after flamingkit closely after being orphaned, and chasmpaw with lilythorn, whom flamingpaw thought lacked personality. they often trained together, and they were constantly competing. her crush only continued to grow.
maliceclan. xx
it was around that time that maliceclan, a sinister group of rogues, encroached upon the clans' old territory. during a battle that broke out during a gathering, flamingpaw was knocked out cold and taken when maliceclan retreated. upon arrival in the clan, flamingpaw had no choice but to go along with what her captors wanted from her. she was trained directly under their alpha, knife, that flamingpaw grew to respect despite his bloody history and his coldness. he named her flamingarrow, and soon after she was considered a warrior, the clans struck back against maliceclan, and flamingarrow fought feebly against the clans until a tabby tom tried to fight her. she was sent reeling when she realized it was chasmriver, and they worked together to fight off the remaining members of maliceclan.
early warrior days. xx
following her return to vertigoclan, flamingarrow found herself receiving discrimination because she had kept the name she'd received from knife and because she was different. she'd grown more independent and sure in herself, and she found herself having very strong morals. her fighting skills were different than the clan's, and she did her best to help those around her. however, she found herself drawn to chasmriver again, and her crush returned, but it had, in turn, matured.
chasmriver must have felt something, even if it was only physical, because it was only a few moons later that flamingarrow was pregnant with his kits. he didn't stay, not even for a minute, and flamingarrow was left quite miserably on her own. abyssbird, chasmriver's sister, was in the same boat for the most part, though the father of her kits stuck around a little bit more than chasmriver did. flamingarrow grew close to abyssbird once they shared the nursery, and they watched their kits mature into apprentices and eventually leave the nursery behind.
it was then that flamingarrow faded away into warrior life, and her kits met their untimely ends one by one. the experiences strengthened her, and instead of hardening her, flamingarrow grew more open and warm, appreciating the life around her instead of what was being taken away.
the wolf. xx
lynxstar's sudden death affected flamingarrow negatively, but she did her best not to dwell upon it. she admired pyrestar and her spunk, and respected her new leader despite the odd circumstances. it was a shock when she was named pyrestar's deputy, and flamingarrow knew that she'd do her best for her clan. once the wolf was defeated, flamingarrow felt relieved, and she felt free in spire of the new responsibilities she now had.
the new territories & leadership. xx
flamingarrow met a tom named echer out past the reaches of vertigoclan territory one day. his appearance terrified her, with his snowy white fur and blood-red eyes, but his personality was like a drug, and she was addicted. he was sweet and genuine, not to mention playful, and he made her feel happy. their friendship was kept secret on her end, though she wouldn't have minded if it'd been discovered, because she knew that those who still distrusted her from her maliceclan days would always do so, no matter what she did.
together, with pyrestar, flamingarrow led the clan to make the decision to leave the old territory, some celestialclan and zephyrclan members joining vertigoclan in the meantime. with new lifeblood, they renamed themselves timberclan, though the name would eventually fade back into vertigoclan.
echer, now garnetbone, had joinec celestialclan, but was reunited with flamingarrow once the clans converged. they shared moments along the journey, and he stuck by her side, and flamingarrow grew to care for him, though she does not wish to rush into anything, as he isn't even aware of her feelings.
in the new territory, flamingarrow became flamingstar, and while receiving lives, knife mad an appearance, horrifying her to the core. she believes one of her lives to be false, but has no proof, and has only told arcticlight so far.
