Personality:
She was never a kitten one would adore. Pre-determined to evil because of her blood is how she is has been judged, and this had made her self-conscious and reclusive. She tends to curl into herself at social gatherings, not eager to make eye contact or interact by any means. When it is in her power, she will wander to the outskirts of LionClan territory and hunt in her solitude, at peace and feeling able to be herself without judgment being thrust upon her. She has low self-esteem, thinking that there is always a chance everyone is right. Maybe she will be just like her father. The father that had ruined not only her life, but the lives of everyone she knew.

The girl watched her father lead a group of dog-clawed cats to destroy all she knew, obviously she's going to have trust issues. No one can blame her for not confiding in anyone, or trusting that anyone will protect her. As her father continuously harrasses her dreams, she bares that burden alone. She masks over her terror with indifference. The girl wants nothing more than a man, a full grown adult male, that could hold her tight and treat her like a daughter. She wants to have a father she can rely on and push to be like. And yet, she sulks away when anyone tries to be that person. The woman is her own worst enemy; she is the boulder blocking her path to healing.

Like most ShadowClan cats, she has a dry, cold humor. Though she rarely makes herself talk to others, there are times she listens and interacts through facial expression. The girl wants to be in the company of her fellow ShadowClan felines, but with all the Clans now conjoined, this is a hard task to pursue. The idea of LionClan does not repulse her, persay, but she doesn’t feel at ease with the soft kittens of Thunder and Wind being in such close quarters with her. Perhaps it makes her cruel and short-tempered, but these cats are not her home. They aren’t her family.

Despite all this, the woman is loyal and defensive of whatever Clan is homing her. She does not have to like, or be friendly, to a cat in order for her to protect them. She’ll fight for any who call LionClan their home, and die in the process. In fact, she’d almost prefer such a fate. For one so young, she feels that she has been dealt a bad hand of cards. This leads her to often question StarClan’s position as angels that care for those still living. If they could give her a father with a heart of stone and a brother of such kindness to choose loyalties between, how could that at all be fair? There are some who have their biggest decisions being mouse of magpie at lunch their entire lives; and yet she has to make a choice between being a nobody in LionClan, however good that makes her, and being somebody to the world, though through merciless spilling of blood.

You had your scars but I never thought
that you would give me mine

History:
The part in quotations is taken from here.

"Tawnykit and her brother, Bramblekit, are born to Goldenflower and Tigerclaw. During the fire that sweeps through ThunderClan territory, Tawnykit is with the rest of the Clan. She and her mother, Goldenflower, escape safely, but Goldenflower notices that Bramblekit, her brother, is missing. Goldenflower starts panicing franticly and thinks that Bramblekit will die in the fire, and is yowling out for someone to rescue him. Fireheart and Yellowfang are sent to rescue Bramblekit from the camp. Bramblekit is returned by Fireheart.

Brackenfur becomes her mentor, though Sandstorm is disappointed that she could not mentor her. She secretly is taken with her brother by Darkstripe to meet their father, Tigerstar. Fireheart decides it's time to tell Bramblepaw and Tawnypaw about their father, and when he does, Tawnypaw resolves to do much better than her malicious father.

When the cats walk back in to the camp after the dog attack, Tawnypaw and her brother, Bramblepaw, are seen bouncing eagerly behind Cinderpelt. When Fireheart calls a meeting, she asks him if he is going to be their new leader. After Smallear insults her by telling her she will end up with the same fate as her father, Tawnypaw wasn't willing to prove herself over and over like Bramblepaw was, and she becomes extremely upset and later runs away to her father Tigerstar in ShadowClan. Firestar attempts to follow her and bring her back to ThunderClan, but it begins to rain. The scent is washed away, and Goldenflower is very angry that Smallear insulted her kit, Tawnypaw, just because she is Tigerstar's daughter, who seems slightly secretive about herself and what she does. When Tigerstar's ambitions are revealed by Firestar, Tawnypaw stands with her new Clan, ShadowClan, rather than her father."

When her father is killed and BloodClan takes over, Tawnypaw is torn. She has lost everyone; her brother, her mother, her mentor. Sometimes, she feels it would just be easier to march over to BloodClan and join them, like her father had done. It doesn't take long for her to remind herself that he ended up dead because of it. This is how she decided to stay with LionClan, even when many of the cats hate her even more now than they did before the war.

Now Tigerstar still haunts her dreams, beckoning his daughter to rise to her potential. As of now, Tawnypaw has been strong enough to object to her father's persuasions. She pushes to be what Bramblepaw had been; strong enough to fight off the darkness that runs in her veins. She only hopes that her strength holds out long enough to impress Hawkkit and Mothkit when Tigerstar begins his recruiting of his next generation.

And now war's declared
trying the battle lines
