PINKFISH
she/her • nightclan warrior

Streaks of violet painted the eventide sky as a brusk gust chilled the air around the dead-silent cemetery. The dried leaves clinging to the trees rattled violently nearby before relaxing back into an eerie calm, leaving the rosy she-cat wandering below to flinch for a moment in surprise. Despite her unease, however, Pinkfish instead found herself spurred on by her antsy paws.

She always had a knack for winding up where she didn't belong, but then again, things always seemed to work out in the plump tabby's favor. Thus with each of the other hole-in-the-wall spots in the territory left discovered by the NightClan warrior, Pinkfish decided it was about time to expand her horizons and relent to let her willful legs. They pulled her through the swamp on a whim and wound up with the tabby she-cat skirting the wrought iron fence of the twolegs' graveyard as the late afternoon faded into the night.

The clammy air had Pinkfish shuddering on occasion as she padded past the oddly shaped stones littering the boneyard. She took one moment to pause and taste the air for anything interesting, but was only met with the boring scent of stale monster smoke and old, drying flowers. The queen felt her face drop in disappointment before the squall of a nearby crow pulled her back to attention. Snapping her head up, golden green orbs roved to meet the beady gaze of the bird as it mocked her from afar. With a huff, the stout tabby puffed out her chest and launched herself at the tree in which the crow sat.

In the rushed attempt of hauling herself up the tree, one of Pinkfish's paws clipped the bark, tearing it loose and losing her foothold. With a grunt, she fell with a dull thud against the ground. She spat and hissed in pain, but otherwise seemed fine as she staggered to her paws. Too concerned with her fuzzy head, however, she failed to notice the scent of a newcomer wafting into the gloam.
