Beliefs |
"StarClan, eh? That's a bunch of fox - dung. Oh, calm down, Rabbitstep. You look like you're gonna explode. You should be used to me by now for goodness' sake."
Rhea never believed in StarClan, and never will. She was a rogue before a clan member, and rogues sure as heck don't believe in StarClan. In Rhea's mind, PineClan is awesome, and if she had the choice, she would've joined them. Too bad MeadowClan was the first Clan the stumbled upon.
"What do I think of FogClan, youngling? Well, they definitely have a screw loose. But to be honest, they can go believe themselves into a hole. And -- Oh, for - Sandstream! Rabbitstep collapsed again!"

Appearance |
"Don't think I'm pretty, eh? Do you honestly think I care what you think about my appearance? Oh, good job with not trying to whack Rabbitstep's head against the wall, Sandstream. And don't give me that look, it's very disturbing."
While young in spirit, Rhea definitely looks wizened in appearance. Her bright orange tabby pelt is littered with battle scars, and there are patches of fur missing from her white belly. The tip of her tail is white, along with the underside of her muzzle.
Due to her elderly status, Rhea is extremely thin. This does not, however, mean she is weak. She is very wiry, and her entire body is cover in extremely thick fur. Her paws, head and ears are of average size, but her bright orange eyes are slightly larger than most.
"Oh, for the love of - drop him, Sandstream! You are the weakest medicine cat I have ever seen! Let me carry him to the medicine den! At least I won't give him permanent brain damage!"[/i]
Personality |
"Oh, hello Cedarstar. Trouble? No trouble here. Just dear old me trying to help your wonderfully weak medicine cat with getting your girly deputy to the medicine den after a youngling decided to ask a couple of questions. No, no trouble at all. By the way, You need to work on your entrance. It wasn't very dramatic."
Rhea definitely is a spirited individual. She is a loose cannon, with all the extras. She's very witty and sarcastic, often overlapping this with aggression. She's rough around the edges, and tends to come off as offensive at the first encounter.
However, to those who manage to get past this rough and tough exterior find a heart of gold on the inside. To those like Cindertail and Jareth, she is seen as a motherly, gentle, and kind individual who would do anything for the ones she loves.
Although many have to go to hell and back to find her heart of gold, in the end, it's worth it.
"Cindertail, you finally decided to see your mother! What a naughty tom you are, not visiting your own mother who raised you and loves you! Aw, now don't give me those eyes. You know I can't resist those little baby blues."
Skills |
"You think you, youngling, could beat me at a hunting competition? Foolish child, I was hunting before your mother was even a twinkle in your grandmother's eye!"
While an average hunter and tracker, Rhea's true skills lie in her fighting ability. She's extremely good at assessing battle situations and making the best outcome. Alongside these certain skills lie her abilities in mothering. The she - cat raised two litters of kits practically by her self, while Jareth went hunting to feed the family. She also taugbt Cindertail how to communicate without a voice.
"Oh ho, so now you challenge me to a fight? Don't make me laugh! I raised three litters of kits! I could beat you with my eyes closed, kit!"
History |
"You wish to know of my origin, do you? Well, this is how it began..."
Rhea was born into a rogue family. She was the oldest of her two brothers, but was not treated as such. Her brothers always talked down to her and fought with her, but loved her all the same.
Everything she learned was taught by her father. At the age of twelve moons she said goodbye to all she knew to embark on her own journey. She did not last long. A group of perverted toms captured her, hoping that she would be able to give them "a good time."
Before they could do anything to her, though, a huge black cat came from the shadows, scaring away the toms and freezing Rhea on the spot.
Once the intruders were gone, the black cat lost most of it's terrifying aura, and introduced himself as Jareth. Rhea, still stunned, could only introduce herself through stutters and gasps. He offered her a place of safety. Shaking off her fear, she demanded to know why he saved her. He could only smirk as he told her it was his duty to save pretty she - cats such as her.
Finally, Rhea agreed to him escorting her to safety. He told her the journey would take a long while, and she only acted indifferent. They clashed many times during their journey, their opposite personalities often getting them into serious trouble. But as time went on, they grew more and more fond of each other, eventually realizing that they loved each other.
Rhea's eyes grow distant, memories of her lost love resurfacing. "Jareth truly was an odd character. So charismatic, yet so alien... He always had something new to talk about, every single day."
The couple decided to abandon their plans of travelling to a safe haven, and decided the current spot they were in was safe enough. They settled down, and Rhea became pregnant, giving birth to three litters of kits within their time of staying there.
Tragedy struck when Rhea was expecting a fourth litter of kits. Foxes attacked, and the stress of getting away caused Rhea to go into premature labour. The kits did not survive and Rhea and Jareth were devastated.
With that, Jareth made the executive decision for he and Rhea to escape to somewhere else and grow old together.
One night, while on their new journey, Rhea woke up cold. Jareth was gone. She was alone, all alone.
For an entire moon she waited, hoping her love would return.
Eventually, she was forced to leave her abode for someplace safer. She became lost, caught in a dreamlike state where she hoped that this was all a dream and she would wake beside her lover once more.
After wandering around in this state for a while, she came upon a kit squirming restlessly in the dirt. He was a newborn, that was sure, and was weak from not being fed. With an overwhelming sense of motherhood kicking in, Rhea took the tiny kit in and named him Cinder for his ashy gray fur.
Upon realizing that Cinder was mute, Rhea began to create gestures and movements for him to learn that could convey what he wanted to say.
As Cinder grew up, Rhea grew old. She constantly berated Cinder for not leaving to find a mate, and he constantly had headaches from shaking his head in disagreement. He refused to leave her alone.
For a short while longer they traveled. Soon, they found themselves on MeadowClan territory where a patrol intercepted them and brought them back to camp. Cedarstar gave them to options. Either they join MeadwClan, or would be driven off MeadowClan territory forever. Seeing an opportunity, Cinder spoke for both of them (in a sense), saying that both of them would join MeadowClan.
However, with MeadowClan came a few changes Rhea didn't like. The first one was the names. They weren't allowed to keep their old names, much to Rhea's chagrin. Cinder became Cindertail and Rhea became Flamestorm. Not that many cats ever actually heard her or others call her that. Despite accepting the name, Rhea insisted that cats called her Rhea as much as possible. This sparked a few disagreements between her, Rabbitstep, and Cedarstar himself, which strangely enough, made her respect for Cedarstar grow.
Eventually, they worked out an agreement: Cats close to her could call her Rhea, but cats she didn't know as well and Cedarstar, Rabbitstep and the medicine cats would call her Flamestorm. With that worked out, Rhea settled down for awhile as a warrior. However, Cindertail soon saw how weak and fragile she was becoming and asked Cedarstar to make her an elder.
With Cindertail by her side, Rhea was made an elder of MeadowClan on her 47th moon, and has resided in the elder's den since. She now enjoys bashing young apprentices on the head for being stupid and arguing with Rabbitstep.
Was that story good enough for you, apprentice? I'm surprised you didn't fall asleep! Now go and eat. You listened to this old cat for long enough.
Just a note to staff - in Rhea's little blurbs, there is some critical information to her character, but most of it is just extremely ooc characters that don't belong to me because I'm too lazy to look up what they really act like or just are. Sorry, Hardy and Slug, for butchering Rabbitstep and Sandstream. |D[/sup][/blockquote]
