Ice

Appearance
Ice is a tall blueish-gray-and-white molly with almond-shaped bright blue eyes. She has tiny, cone-shaped ears, a small, wide muzzle, and very long, bristly fur. Her eyebrows are thin and her nose is triangular and pink.

Personality
Ice considers herself lucky. She got the popular and likable Birdflight as her mentor while her brother Pool is stuck with grumpy Wildfur. She can't help but feel a bit superior to Pool now, and she is confident in her abilities, more than ready to begin her new-claw duties with Birdflight. She is very much relieved not to be in Pool's place.

Ice seems to be somewhat haughty and insensitive, but it isn't on purpose. She has a natural aptitude in several fields and doesn't understand why other new-claws seem to struggle when she finds it easy. She doesn't want to be a brat; it just tends to come off that way when she talks without thinking. She still tries her best, though, wanting to succeed and get along with everybody.

Pre-Series
Ice and her brother Pool were born in Marsh Colony to Kestrelsnap and Indigoeyes. Not much is known about their kittenhood, but it was fairly uneventful; their parents raised them dutifully and well, teaching them all about how Hawkshell had ended the feud between Marsh Colony and Oak Colony, securing seasons of peace for them to enjoy down the line.

Ice and Pool began their new-claw base training once they had come of age, performing minor tasks under the watchful eyes of their Colony's keepers. Ice could not wait for the real training to begin. And once they turned six moons old, it did - she and her brother became official field training new-claws, and Ice was assigned Birdflight as her mentor, much to her delight.

Unfortunately, tragedy came on that same day. Hawkshell's son Sunfire and his mate Breezeheart were found dead on one of the borders, mauled beyond recognition - and there was no sign of what had killed them. That put a considerable damper on the celebratory mood.

Synopsis
Ice was not seen or mentioned in Shifting Roots: Chapter 1. She and Pool were the only new new-claws who didn't have their names announced.

Pool
Pool is Ice's brother and littermate. Even though Ice tries her hardest to relate to and sympathize with him, she seems to be irritated by him more often than not. He's just so scrawny and whiny. She gets that Pool is jealous that she got Birdflight as her mentor while he's stuck with Wildfur, but, like... "suck it up, little bro!" She also doesn't see what his problem with Boulder is - Boulder is kind of just "way cooler than him". Ice feels somewhat superior to Pool and pities him.

Birdflight
Birdflight is Ice's mentor, and the two seem to get on really well. Ice was thrilled upon being assigned to them, and Birdflight is very talented when it comes to teaching new-claws. Ice enjoys her time with Birdflight and Birdflight is proud of Ice.

Boulder
Boulder is the oldest, meanest new-claw in Marsh Colony. Ice considers him to be "way cooler" than her own brother, Pool, and thinks that Pool might just be jealous of Boulder. Not many further details are known.

Snowstorm and Falconswoop
Snowstorm and Falconswoop are Ice's older siblings from her parents' previous litter. Not many further details are known.

Indigoeyes and Kestrelsnap
Indigoeyes and Kestrelsnap are Ice's parents. They most likely set high expectations and standards for her that she is happy to reach. They have been said to be good parents if a bit strict, and they raised all of their kittens on tales of Hawkshell's bravery and insight.
