Knight Cascade of Icebreak
Court of Spires ∙ Knight ∙ She/Her ∙ 43 moons

Appearance
A large, long-haired caliby molly with Bright, yellow eyes

Like many of her ancestors, Cascade cuts an imposing (if stylish) figure. She's a large cat who somehow exudes grace in long limbs and impeccable fur upkeep. Despite the toils of her role, she never has a hair out of place, and the white of her fur on her muzzle, throat, underbelly, and front paws is pristine. The long fur across her face, back, flanks, tail, and legs is a mishmash of brown and ginger tabby, cut through with deep stripes of darker hues. A symbol of her station, a spotless blue fabric, is tied around her neck (without disrupting any fur, of course!). She believes it makes her eyes, a bright and intense yellow, pop.

Personality
+ Charismatic | +/- Romantic | - NOsy


Spunky. Dramatic. Showstopping performer. These are just a few of the words that could explain this multicolored molly. Spinning legends with a grin and silver tongue as soon as she could speak, this Molly can enchant anyone with her words. Her over-the-top and outgoing personality can charm some of the coldest hearts on the Court (and have on more than one occasion). She has no trouble speaking in front of one or one hundred, and her idea of a good time is getting to know a new group of cats at every Festival. Of course, this is a double-edged sword - such as charismatic personality can be too much for the more introverted, much to this molly's dismay. For, at her heart, she is a true romantic. To her, every scenario that she plays out in her mind has some positive spin. She can find the joy in a rainy day and on the darkest of times. This applies to her personal life as well - If she likes someone, she tends to fall...and falls hard. She's a bit hapless with her love, which has led to more than a few moons of heartbreak. Still, she believes there is someone for everyone, and it's her life's mission to make sure they find them. In her search to find that perfect cat for everyone, however, she tends to stick her nose in business where she has no right to be. She wants to know everything about everyone at any given moment - After all, how can she help you find the love of your life if you don't give her all the details first?

Plotting, History, & Relations

PLOT INTEGRATION:
Part of the historic Icebreak family, Cascade is very aware of the history that follows her name. Known for being one of the "softer" namesakes despite their role as Knights, the Icebreaks may not have the fearsome reputation of the Ravenspells or Wolfsbanes. What they do have, however, are paws on the pulse of the Court in terms of morale, relations with other groups (the more gossip there is, the less secrets and threats, according to them), and a knack for pairing cats together in the best matches for the Court's future. It is this responsibility that prompts Cascade's belief in keeping peace as long as possible (for how can the Court remain vibrant and at their best should they be caught in the warmongering?). However, this might backfire should tensions continue to rise.
FAMILY:
Tortoise - Maternal Grandfather (NPC)
Clover - Maternal Grandmother (Deceased)
Cliff - Maternal Uncle (UFA)
Hummingbird - Mother (NPC)
River - Father (NPC)
Sunrise - Sister (UFA)
Pine - Brother (UFA)

HISTORY:
Born the middle kit to Hummingbird and River (Formerly of Windrunner), Cascade showed all the signs of her lineage from her first cries. Echoing off the stone walls of the nursery, it was a prime example of what was to come down the line for the young Molly. In those early days though, she spent most of her time frolicking with her brother, Pine, and her sister, Sunrise. The trio were not often seen apart - in fact, they were a 3-cat comedy show with the way they bumbled about, parading their antics in front of all to see. Sure, it caused some issues from time to time, but nothing too lasting!

Alas, this tendency for dramatics would continue after all three took the Plunge and were assigned mentors. It was here the young Cascade found her heart first pulled towards another. A handsome tom, no doubt slated for Ranger training, was just a few paw steps ahead. He may not have looked twice at Cascade, but she spoke of him as if he'd hung the moon. Her sister, amused, would only encourage this behavior, though her brother may have started to distance himself just a little. (Though if that was due to him taking after his father or the fact he pined after the same tom, Cascade didn't know). Of course, nothing happened between any of them, but it'd given Cascade a taste for what romance and heartbreak could be. The rest of training was uneventful and, like all good Icebreaks before them, the trio chose to follow in the paw steps of the Knights before them. 

Carrying on in her training as a Knight, Cascade continued to find her talents beyond just that of guarding and patrolling. She had a knack for storytelling and an eye for a good match - except for herself. Another round of pining, this time on a Knight Squire, and yet another round of heartbreak after a few moons of "will they, won't they" in which the older cat turned her down once they had passed their trial. Still, she learned more and more lessons at the paws of her family sages, and soon the influence of the young, charismatic Molly began to grow. In fact, so interested in those around her, she began to take part in her family's favorite festival at a younger age than most. She did not let it interfere with training, however, and soon enough it was time for her trial. 

It could only be fate that her mentor chose the Knight who spurned her as one of her duels, but it only fueled Cascade's fire. Dramatic, swift, and underlined with talent - She put on a show, much to the chagrin of her dueling mate. The last feat, climbing to the top to rip her inheritance from the soaring spire, was her last triumph as a Squire. It was this show of strength that earned her an honored spot as a Knight.  

The moons since becoming a Knight have been relatively uneventful, though Cascade now enjoys getting to know the other families and (not so secretly) pairing them together. Though young, she's a well-known member of the Icebreaks who always makes an appearance at the "Icebreaker" event.
