Dreaming herself infrared and not knowing what to do
Circling and circling and spinning around
Finding ways to peel herself off of the ground
Now the empty chatter in her head never shakes the sound
Wiping out the cocaine line and honey for the second time

- Name |
[/li][li] Age | She's tended to the wildflowers for twenty-one moons
[/li][li] Rank | She's run to the hills and back as a warrior
[/li][li] Clan | She was born, raised, resides in, and is loyal to FogClan[/li][/ul]
Beliefs| Ilexflower can call herself a believer. While she doesn't neccessarily agree with everything in the great warrior code, she has chosen the path to wrap her life around it. Warriors follow the warrior code, simple as that. But the world isn't neatly divided into right and wrong, as the code apparently states with an underlying tone. She isn't one to go on a rule-breaking rampage, there will be the odd occassion where she will go against her ancestors in order to do what is right in her eyes. This comes with her independence.
But with FogClan in the situation Mistpelt has put them in, Ilexflower does not currently know how she will react. Sure, dirving out Olwstar was wrong but Mistpelt and the rest of the agreeing FogClan warriors did what was right in their eyes. And if Ilexflower went against them, that would make her a hypocrite, which she isn't. So, she will stand back and be an innocent bystander and watch the situation blossom through deep green eyes.

Appearance | One's first impression of Ilexflower would be that she is a small she-cat with snow white fur and deep green eyes.
Ilexflower was named after the white hollies, known as ilexes, because of her white fur. It is thick and lustrous, providing great insulation for her. Soft to the touch, it is quite a rare sight to see her pelt dirty. Ilexflower's fur is bleach white. It is so white that light seems to radiate from it. No other shade dare taint the colorless fur that she is clad in head to toe. Only during the hot moons of greenleaf Ilexflower starts to shed her thick coat to be replaced by a thin, wispy pelt. Very faint smoky gray pigmentation can be found on her fur during greenleaf, but only where her joints are connected and on some places of her flank. It is not exceeding long or unusually short; Ilexflower's fur is medium in length. Long whiskers blend easily with her fur color, as her whiskers are also white. The sprout from her muzzle and above her eyes, sensitive to the smallest touch.
Emerald green eyes accent her snow white fur. They contrast greatly with her pelt, appearing darker and less subtle. They are clear, but always laden with emotion. Dark green, they appear to have the texture of water. They can be compared to chlorophyll: greener than green. Her optics are intense beyond belief, unnaturally alluring and inviting to one unexpecting their depths. Countless other shades of green can be seem swimming in the dark pigmentation, but the emerald green remains the dominant color. They gleam with an unreadable demeanor, wise and knowing and hard and warm all at the same time. Ilexflower is most remembered for her eyes because they are so unusual.
She has a small build, suggesting she is agile and quick. As a warrior, she's easily one of the quickest cats in the forest. Ilexflower isn't the smallest cat around, but she is certainly smaller than most of her gender and age group. With small shoulders and a narrow body, it's hard to imagine such a delicate she-cat living the wild life. She takes pride in her compact, lithe form knowing that few cats share her elegant appearance. Ilexflower's muzzle is slightly rounded, not pointed. At the end of it is a salmon pink nose. Her ears are large and perfectly triangular. Wisps of fur billow slightly at the top of her ears, giving her a more regal appearance. Her legs are rather long, and are perfect for silent agility and running. At the end of them are tiny, narrow paws, where the fur bunches at thorn-sharp claws. Her tail is quite long and whip-like. It is often seem weaving through the air, creating delicate patterns.
Being the relatively timid cat she is, it's quite surprising to see the scars this cat possesses. There is a deep V cut into her right ear, most likely from a nasty battle wound long ago. Three perpendicular claws marks about ten centimeters long each run down the right side of her flank, leaving pink skin clearly visible. A winding second set of claw marks also wrap around the left side of her neck and twist over her shoulder.
Ilexflower's voice is something truly harmonious. A mixture of high tones and low tones, it is as smooth and pleasant to the ear as honey is to the taste. Warm and inviting, it can also be cold and unforgiving. The only thing is can be compared to is wind whispering through the draping leaves of a willow tree.
Personality | Ilexflower is a gifted warrior. Everything just comes naturally to her. The names of battle moves and hunting techniques and their properties chase each other around the interior of her head night and day. They dance behind pure green eyes, branding themselves into her memory. She could recite them in alphabetical order, if she cared to.
Ilexflower is the strong, silent type. She isn't one to spill her emotions out, like a torrent of water falling from the sky. Not to say she's antisocial--Ilexflower seems to get along with most everybody. She is extremely protective of her Clanmates; she's not one to pick and choose the cats she would give special care to.
She is quite often a generally quiet cat. Not the mistake her for shy, however. She just believes it's not worth wasting her words on those who will not listen to what she has to say. Ilexflower is rather cool and calculating, only because she likes to be aware of her surroundings. She must get to know another cat relatively well in order for her to start opening up to them. She hides behind her silent authority, but not to the point it is difficult to talk to her. Ilexflower really is a friendly cat, but she does not put up with fools. She does not sugar coat her words or bend the truth; Ilexflower is and always will be a straightforward, no-nonsense type of cat.
However, Ilexflower really is quite thoughtful. Despite her immense intelligence, she finds her mind wandering to the vast unknown. Her eyes cloud over when she over thinks things, which she has a tenancy to do.
With a quick mind, it's hard not to be slightly intimidated by her reserved personality. Some find her weird, others find her different. Ilexflower is actually quite a mysterious cat. She is very fond of secrets, and likes to think she has ways of knowing things others don't. Wise beyond her seven moons, it is not difficult for her to manipulate others to get what she wants. But she keeps this hidden talent at bay, hiding it behind deep green eyes.
Patient and understanding, Ilexflower does not have even the slightest temper. It is almost as if she is unnaturally calm. She keeps her cool in tough situations with ease, knowing when panic takes over everything plummets. Actually quite easy to tolerate, Ilexflower has a very friendly nature underneath her hard exterior. She is slightly cautious, but not paranoid. She prefers to talk things through, rather than flash her claws and teeth. Ilexflower is naturally straightforward and sincere, and actually has quite difficulty seeing deception in others. She is not so unsophisticated she cannot lie, she simply prefers taking a higher ground and being the bigger cat.
If one is having a crisis or an issue, Ilexflower might be one of the best to talk to. Nobody who walks the face of the earth will be able to tear a secret out of her muzzle. Though one should approach her with mild caution as she is not one to put up with rubbish in any way, shape, or form. She gives direct answers, though they may not be what the opposing cat will want to hear.
She has a rather blunt, straightforward view on life. And thus, she isn't typically a very bubbly, perky, preppy she-cat. Her ears are always open to one who needs a pair to listen, but she is still somewhat intimidating. She is surrounded by a shroud of independence, making her the poster child for mystery.
Watching the other apprentices pick early mates, she has come to grips with the fact that love makes everything more complicated. She observed that cats will risk everything for a few stolen moments, only to be punished with consequences later on. Ilexflower is only out to please herself, which has made her path more simple. She does not carry the burden of loving another cat, thus she does not have to please a tom as well.
Where that open void where love should be placed, Ilexflower has put appreciation, determination, and a great work ethic. She appreciates the small things in life, like red currant berries. She's determined to be the best she can. Finally, her work ethic pushes her to her highest possible potential.
Skills | Ilexflower doesn't boast about her fleet feet or her sharp claws. In her opinion, she isn't superior at anything in particular but everything could use improvement. There will always be that extra mile to run, always that extra shrew to stalk, always that extra enemy to fight. This set of mind is what drives her and feeds motivation to her tired limbs. As much as she wishes she were the strongest warrior or the best tracker, Ilexflower simply does not possess such skill.
History | {kithood}
Ilexflower had a normal kithood. There were no tragic deaths in her family or life-changing events. She just sat in the nursery like a duck, waiting for some kind of change. Something -- anything -- to break the monotony. But nothing came. Sure, she played with her siblings and listened to her mother but it was a long six months.
{apprenticeship}
Though, as she began to grow out of the nursery she began to grow out of her kin. Ilexflower drifted away from her parents and became more independent. She never took into account her kin's feelings. She left the nursery and isolated herself as she faded into the background of FogClan.
{warriorhood}
The day she was made a warrior made her feel like queen of the Clans. She felt like she could run any distance, fight any enemy, swim any river, and climb any tree. But that energy died down soon as life became a day-to-day chore. Often, this restless she-cat finds herself bored. And to this day, she is still waiting for something to break the monotony.
