Forestdawn is a brown and black tortoiseshell tabby she-cat with ginger patches and peach dapples. She has a white hind paw, ear and tail tip, tufts on the ends of her ears, and grey-green eyes.

Forestdawn is a SnowClan warrior under Asterstar's leadship in the snow forest territories. She was born as Forestkit to Elmfrost and Amaranth, and trained diligently under Ruesky alongside her best friend Spindlepaw (later Spindleclaw), noticing unusual signs in her territory that others dismissed. As a warrior, she encountered border tensions with the LakeClan warrior Jackalsight, but later eased up to him and sensed the danger posed by a mysterious group, The Circle. After Spindleclaw was mysteriously killed, Forestdawn began hearing her grandmother Cipher’s voice, tempting her toward darkness, yet she remained loyal to SnowClan. Guided by Gingerdash’s ghost, she uncovered Reefstar’s conspiracy with The Circle, killed him, and thwarted further harm. Her Circle heritage became increasingly significant, leading to her kidnapping by The Circle to serve as a test subject for a virus called The Change. Though briefly overtaken by the virus, she retained inner strength and eventually overcame it after she was rescued by ApprenticeClan.

Later she was saddened when Jackalsight took on Servaltail as a mate, but vowed to continue staying loyal to the Warrior Code. Nevertheless, she had a soft spot for his current kits, Kindlepaw and Abysspaw. She still hid her feelings for Jackalsight, and is currently mentoring Scarletpaw, but she became worried when Scarletpaw was struck mute.

Personality and Traits

Forestdawn is a serious and reserved she-cat, known for her blunt honesty and tendency to keep her thoughts to herself. Often aloof and cold on the surface, she rarely softens her words, preferring to speak her thoughts aloud rather than veil her meaning. She is shown to be cunning, self-assured, quick-witted and calculating, usually never wasting breath on idle chatter, but when she does speak, her words carry weight. Above all, she is fiercely loyal to the warrior code, holding it as the guiding principle of her life and judging others harshly if they stray from it. She is also shown to be disciplined and dutiful, but also as a cat whose stoicism masks the turmoil and vulnerabilities beneath, and a true friend to the cats she loves.
