|| History ||

Viper was born to a deaf loner by the name of Adder. She was an only kit. Her mother struggled to keep both herself and her daughter fed and alive. Once Viper was strong enough to be moved, Adder constantly kept both of them on the move, terrified to be caught unaware. Because of her deafness, she had a rather difficult time catching prey, usually preferring to catch fish, as it easier to catch the fish without sound. Adder normally let them stay in a single area for a week, before moving on, though she never strayed too far from the river. Because Adder could not hear, Viper never really talked, feeling it was pointless. She never found out why Adder was so terrified of everything, why she was always on the run.

When she was nearing 4 months old, while moving once again, Viper started to explore the area, moving farther and farther away from her mother. She heard alot of screeching and yowling in the distance, and ran terrified back to where she had left Adder. She wasn't there. Picking up Adder's scent, she ran after her, realizing that she was quickly approaching the sounds of battle. Dread filled the young kit's belly like a rotten piece of meat and picked up her pace, almost flying over the ground. Viper stopped dead in her tracks when she saw a writhing mass of cats, some of the cats even seemed to shimmer! Blood was everywhere, and shrieks of pain, snarls of fury, and yowls of victory cascaded over her ears causing her to shy away. She couldn't find her mother in this! All she could smell now was blood! Her eyes flew frantically over the scene, trying to find her mothers familiar pelt. There! She saw Adder, and relief flooded her, before being replaced with terror and anguish. One of the dark pelted shimmering cats had Adder by the throat, and dark liquid was bubbling out of the dark cats mouth, and down Adder's neck. Viper ran to her mother as the cat threw her down and took off, and saw with dismay that her neck was torn open. Her mother's eyes were starting to dull, and she mewed weakly, her voice cracking from lack of use "I love you". It was the first and last words that Viper ever heard from her mother. Viper curled up beside her mother, and pressed her nose into her mother's still warm fur. The noises of the battle turned to white static as she lay beside Adder.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but she came back to herself when she felt a nose prodded her neck fur, hearing a cat exclaim 'she's alive!'. A mouthful of teeth grabbed her by the scruff removing her from her mothers now cold fur. Blackness overtook her once more as she let her numbness take hold. Once she woke up again, she was in a den with a cat smelling of plants and herbs, who told her she was in Thunderclan. She asked her name, but she just shook her head and buried her nose under her tail. A large brown tabby, similar to the one who had killed her mother, though he had warm amber eyes instead of the frosted blue ones of the murderer, came in and told her she could stay if she wanted, so, upon having no where else to go, and no way to survive on her own, she nodded silently to the tom and curled up once more.

It wasn't long after the Battle was over that Bramblestar officially welcomed Viper to Thunderclan. For the most part, Viper kept to herself, thinking that none of the cats would truly accept her, an orphan. It wasn't long before she slowly was broken out of her shell, and she blossomed into quite a social cat. She made as many friends as she could, even making friends from other clans when she attended gatherings. Viperpaw had a natural air around her that made others feel welcome and comfortable enough to talk to her. It was Bramblestar who was her mentor, and she developed quite a bond with the large tom. She considered him to be a father figure of sorts, and she was truly grateful that he had accepted her into the clan. Bramblestar taught her everything, from learning to fight, to the ways of the clans, and all about starclan. He also taught her about the Dark Forest when she inquired about the dark pelted ghost cats that she had seen. She told Bramblestar of how she came to be in the clans territory, of how her mother was deaf, and how she had seen her mother die at the hands of a tom that looked nearly identical to him, only that the tom had piercing blue eyes. Bramblestar sadly told her that it was his brother, the cat that had killed her mother, and that he was so very sorry for what had happened. He told her that if a cat like Hawkfrost ever entered her dreams, that they would try to recruit her, or kill her. He showed her the scars that he himself had attained from the dreams, letting her know that whatever happened in those dreams happened in real life. Viperpaw devoted herself to making sure that something like that would never happen again. That no kit would suffer the same fate she had, that no cat would lose a family member to the evil of the Dark Forest.

She trained hard, striving to be the best hunter, the greatest fighter. Though the previous leader, Firestar [whom she had heard about, but had apparently died in the battle before she awoke], had been a kitty-pet, many of the clan members still disbelieved that a previous loner would ever amount to anything. Viperpaw wanted to prove them wrong, that she could be something. So she made her goal to be the leader of Thunderclan. Other apprentices scoffed at her, saying that a loner would never be the leader of the great clan. Many of her friends often joked with her, saying that when they were made leader, they would let her be the deputy.

One day, nearing the end of her apprenticeship, she was sent out to hunt, for observation. As she was tracking down a squirrel, a young fox had appeared down wind of her, and attacked. Viperpaw, ever the one to prove herself, instead of running away, she ran headfirst for the russet colored beast. She dodged and pranced out of the way of the wicked gleaming teeth of the fox, aiming well placed attacks on the fox. It wasn't long before Bramblestar showed up, and together they chased the fox well out of Thunderclans territory. Bramblestar decided that Viperpaw had proved herself, so later that day, Bramblestar called the clan together, and Viperpaw was named Viperstrike, for her fast and accurate attacks.

"During one of the gatherings, I accidently ran into this spirited young apprentice. At first she seemed a little annoyed, though when she heard I was Thunderclan's leader, she stumbled over an apology. I have to admit I was a little put off that she seemed afraid of me, though after talking for a little bit, she warmed up to me. She's definitely a spunky little thing. She'll grow up to be quite a fine warrior one day."

"I ran into him once while I was out hunting. He was very polite, if a little bit withdrawn. He seemed nice enough, though he barely spoke. Seemed like he thought I was going to attack him."
