Personality: Viperstrike is a very typical ThunderClan cat, valuing loyalty, strength, and ability over all else. She can be described as being ambitious by most, and is always striving to be better. Viper keeps most of her feelings to herself, her only confidants being Turtlestar and the medicine cats. Viperstrike rarely admits to weakness or injury, insisting that all other cats be treated before her after a battle has occurred. Viperstrike adores her clanmates, and would protect each of them with her life if it came down to it. Viper can often be seen with the clan's kits while not on-duty, instructing them with battle moves to play-fight with or simply allowing them to crawl all over her. Viper strongly believes that kits are the most important part of the clan.

Background: Viperstrike was raised by both of her doting ThunderClan parents. Being their only kit, she was their world and they constantly reminded her how much they loved her. Viper's ambition shown through even as a young kit, she constantly had to be the best fighter in the nursery, determined to show her parents that their love was well-deserved. As an apprentice, Viperstrike's mentor instilled in her the values of patience and thoughtfulness. It was during her apprenticeship that both of her parents were killed in a battle with RiverClan over the Sunning Rocks territory. Viperstrike was absolutely crushed by this, and her hatred for RiverClan has never ceased. As a warrior, Viperstrike continued striving upwards. She made a name for herself as a formidable foe in battle, and her already intimidating size helped quite a bit with this. Being made deputy has calmed her need to claw her way up the ladder, for now, as she adores Turtlestar and is especially protective of the old leader.
