Brief Personality: [Kind] [Independent] [Dutiful] [Sullen] [Easily depressed] 
 [Kind] Dusk is normally kind to anyone that’s nice to her. Instead of talking back to someone who is mean or rude, she ignores them and leaves. Her feelings are easily hurt and she’ll avoid you whenever possible if you hurt her feelings. She's also a little unsure of herself and will only talk to someone if they also seem nice. A scary or rude cat will probably never hear much from her. Dusk can be easily befriended if you’re also kind and patient.

 [Independent]  Dusk is pretty shy so she doesn’t spend a lot of time with others. It’s not that she dislikes company, but she does like time to herself. Big crowds make her nervous for some reason. She gets lonely but is too independent and shy to approach others. If you make it known that you’re nice and really want to be friends, she’ll give you a chance though. Sadly her independence and shyness make her prone to loneliness.

 [Dutiful]  When you’re as shy as Dusk you give most of your time to your responsibilities. Whenever she gets bored or feels lonely, she’ll volunteer to go on patrol of the territory. She very much likes her role as a trooper. It makes her feel important to be one of the protectors of the tribe. If some dangerous animal got into camp and hurt someone she’d be quick to blame herself. Dusk is someone who feels overly responsible because of her role as a trooper.

 [Sullen]  Both Dusk’s sister and father were killed by a rattlesnake that found its way into the campsite. Dusk had a very strong bond with her sister and of course loved her father, so this event really traumatized her. When she gets very lonely her thoughts wander to that day and she grows quite depressed. This is the main reason she tries to find things to distract herself with, like going on patrol. These memories seep into her sleep also and her tribemates have been known to complain of her thrashing in her sleep. Dusk tries to keep a positive attitude around others when she can.

 [Easily Depressed]  Dusk hates to come off as a negative cat, but because of the trauma from her father and sister’s deaths she can’t always help it. The last thing she wants is for others to avoid her for this reason. She just becomes more depressed when others avoid her and she’s left to her own thoughts. Dusk would much prefer if a tribemate came up and distracted her. She tries to busy herself with duties to combat these feelings. She’s usually pretty good at hiding them, but her tribemates usually describe her as looking perpetually sad.

Brief History: [Before][Kit][Trainee][Trooper] 
 [Before] Dusk was born to a Sandcat mix father and lynxpoint mix mother. Her mother was a rogue who lived in the territory bordering that of the Tribe of Lost Skies. Dusk’s father, Cloud that grows dark (Cloud) met the she cat and convinced her to join his tribe. Cloud was a tom cat that was a little full of himself, but he was very sweet. Dusk’s mother was accepted into the tribe and named Rain that falls softly(Rain). Soon after Rain joined the tribe she came to expect Cloud’s kits. He even gave her a small leather cord necklace with a blue bird’s feather to mark the occasion. Dusk that falls quickly and her sister, Dawn that shines bright(Dawn) were born. Cloud couldn’t have been prouder and he visited them every day in the nursery.

 [Kit]  Dusk was very close to her sister. When Dawn was alive Dusk was never lonely. She always had someone to play with and talk to. Rain loved how her daughters were so close and believed they would always be there for each other. Just before the two sisters were going to be made trainees, Dusk grew very impatient. She left the nursery one day to explore, but didn’t get very far from the nursery when she heard yowls of mourning. Dusk ran back to the nursery to find her sister’s limp body on the ground, her mother crouched over her. Cloud had tried to fight off the rattlesnake when his mate called out from the nursery, but he only got there in time to save Rain. Tragically the tom had been bitten multiple times and when Dusk arrived he was already dead on the ground. Dusk was traumatized and blamed herself, thinking that if only she had stayed in the nursery she could have done something to save her sister.

 [Trainee]  Dusk was made a trainee to be Trooper half a moon after her father and sister’s deaths. Nightmares had constantly riddled her sleep, but she was able to be just a little happy at the ceremony. Afterwards her mother had taken her aside to say she was leaving the tribe. Dusk wasn’t too surprised. Since Dawn and Cloud’s deaths her mother hadn’t been the same. She didn’t eat as much and she stayed inside the den most of the time. Rain bid her only kit farewell, and gave Dusk the same necklace Cloud had given her when she was his mate. Dusk was disappointed by her mother’s leaving, feeling abandoned by the only family she had left. Now she had no one to comfort her when she had nightmares. The little she-cat did her best though, and trained extra hard to keep her thoughts off sad memories. She loved battle training because she would pretend her opponent was the rattlesnake that killed her father and sister.

 [Trooper]  Dusk was made a Trooper and she was the happiest she’d been since her trainee ceremony. She spends her days now keeping watch over her tribemates and the campsite. Strangely enough she looks forward to any kind of enemy trying to get into the camp, so that she can let off tense feelings and fight them off. Dusk often looks like a sentinel always patrolling the camp borders for enemies, and especially rattlesnakes.

Roleplay Example:  from #Clansofthenorth
Flicker recorded the description of watermint and nodded eagerly at Branchpaw's question. "Yes, it's perfect to me. When I was a loner I would often look out on the territories, but Tideclan always attracted me the most. There was something about it that drew me in. And now, in this cold with the frozen tidepools, it's even more beautiful." Flicker didn't talk like this with anyone else, not even Rush. Her brother was a fine companion, and she could talk with him about most anything, but it was different with Branchpaw. "What about you Branchpaw? Have you always known you were meant to be Tidelcan's healer? Did you ever want to be a warrior?"
