Hawkfire

Name: Hawkfire
Motherly/Intelligent/Friendly


Quote: I know. I know what they're capable of and what they're doing.

Position: Keepsake

Personality: Hawkfire is a friendly dragoness if loyal for the wrong reasons, she bonds closely and completely although never blind to what is going on around her. the only ones she tells everything to is her adopted hatchlings, trusting them with the information she gathers unintentionally and keeping herself safe above any clan dragon; she is a motherly dragoness and adores hatchlings, often caring for those around her without thought.
She is secretive and guards her words carefully around strangers, often acting skittish when cornered before fighting back with everything she has. she knows exactly what goes on in her clan and keeps her head down for the most part as unless her opinion is asked it is not given. she is well aware that her beloved hatchlings would kill her if she became a threat to them and so remains willfully ignorant when questioned.

Quirks: Skittish, Loyal, secretive, Tired

Background: Fire destroyed the clan, she watched all she had known burn below her with the only ones left her adoptive hatchlings and mate; Hawkfire followed Shadowpelt numbly, her young son spoke of a clan they could stay in Hawkfire simply followed. she mourned her home, but knew it had been along time since it had been a real home for her.
The new clan was a good one even if they dealt with the less legal side of the market, it was a good place even with it's faults. she watched as Shadowpelt took over the clan and watched those who stood against him fall, Nightclaw made sure of that, she let a mask of ignorance fall when facing the clan and knew many thought she really didn't know what her hatchlings were capable of.

She took over care of the hatchlings when the parents were busy, telling fairy tales, myths, and legends while the little ones listened intently. she loved watching them all play and often wondered if they had been in any other clan if her eldest three would have grown to be different. she knew what they had done and still she loved them, playing ignorant whenever asked of the bloodshed, she blamed Beast clan and other clans knowing if she stepped too far out of line she would likely be killed as well after all a keepsake was only good so long as it brought happiness and joy.
She was often enough saddened by what her hatchlings had done either through outside force or perceived necessity and wished things had been different and they had grown to prove the clan wrong about them. Hawkfire was often seen wandering the clan, talking with her clanmates yet offering little in way of conversation about her hatchlings, changing the subject and dodging questions with practiced ease.

She was little more than a keepsake, a living trinket and she knew it, it didn't upset her yet as time wore on she grew tired. the clan was cautious of her and she could hardly blame them although she loved her hatchlings more than anything else she also knew they had abruptly come in and taken over with brute force when needed.
Shadow, Night, and Twilight still came to her for comfort and to simply spend time with her and she enjoyed the time spent with them greatly. when Momoka started spending more time outside of the den, telling her less and less she began to worry over him although she never told any of her three eldest hatchlings of her suspicions and concerns.

When she had found out what Momo was doing she had been afraid for his life, Shadow would not hesitate to kill the male if he felt there was a threat. suggesting she should help secret hatchlings away from the clan was bold yet if she could spare the little ones her fate or a worse fate she could not help but think it might be worth the risk.
Each time a hatchling was "lost" to raiders she felt her heart break knowing what Mitne would do to her if the bogsneak ever found out her or Momo's part in it. she was sure Shadow would spare her for giving the little ones to clans after all he was doing the same after beginning their training.

"Who would take the cubs, Mother?" Twilightbreeze asked clearly upset as she paced.
"I'm as clueless as you, Twilight." she said softly, mourning the loss of her own hatchlings.
"We will find the ones responsable." Nightclaw growled.
"Now. now, my Siblings." Shadowpelt said softly "Our cubs will find new clans, new territory. true this is far sooner than we would have liked, but one cannot complain of a slight... hiccup in a plan."

Hawkfire grieved her hatchlings and the grandhatchlings she would never see again, but knew they were safe with new clans and in loving homes.
