K i n

[/color]
1) You're Gonna Go Far, Kid - The Offspring {Because she's an expert liar, and she leaves mayhem in her wake.

Relevant Lyrics:
Show me how to lie
You’re getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that’s hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
A mob jumps to their feet

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

2) Pain - Three Days' Grace {Because Kin's not too fond of love, but she loves pain, no matter the source, and loves fighting.

Relevant lyrics:
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand
This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand

3) Animal I Have Become - Three Days' Grace {Because Kin's a bloodthirsty animal, and the bloodlust does, on those extremely rare occasions, bother her a little bit; it makes her wonder what kind of cat she would have been if she hadn't been separated from her family.

Relevant Lyrics:
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

4) Guardian Angel - Red Jumpsuit Appartaus {Because no matter how evil she is, Kin loves her foster daughter, and she'd do anything for her.

Relevant Lyrics:
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

5) Enter Sandman - Metallica {Most cats hide from the monsters that go bump in the night. Kin is one of those monsters- and she can be worse than dreams of dragon's fire.

Relevant Lyrics:
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Hush little baby, don't say a word
Never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

6)This Ain't A Scene - Fall Out Boy {Because Kin isn't picky about who she sides with, so long as she gets what she wants as one of the best liars in the valley.

Relevant Lyrics:
I am an arms dealer
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And don't really care which side wins
As long as the room keeps singing
That's just the business I'm in, yeah

I'm a leading man
and the lies I weave are, oh so intricate,
Oh so intricate

7)Tobacco Road - Nashville Teens {When she was still very young and just come under Reaper's guardianship, Kin had nothing, and hated the harsh world her Uncle lived in.

Relevant Lyrics:
Growin' up rusty shack,
all I had was hangin' on my back.
Only you know how I loathe
this place called Tobacco Road.

But it's home, the only life I ever known.

8) Thnks Fr Th Mmrs - Fall Out Boy {Though she's a master wordsmith, Kin does mess up, and she can really only see clearly into the past.

Relevant Lyrics:
And I want these words to make things right
But it's for wrongs that make the words come to life
Who does he think he is?
If that's the worst you got, better put your fingers back to the keys

Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going back
In these crystal balls
It's always cloudy
Except when you look into the past

9) I'm Not Okay (I Promise) - My Chemical Romance {Because despite the cold, calculating surface of her mind, Kin's core is slowly coming unravelled.

Relevant Lyrics:
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I've told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook; for the last time- take a good hard look!

10) Vampires Will Never Hurt You - My Chemical Romance {Because like the shadows in the night, Kin isn't obvious as a dangerous enemy until she falls upon you, and few know the danger ahead of time.

Relevant Lyrics:
And as always, innocent like roller coasters.
Fatality is like ghosts in snow and you have no idea what you're up against
because I've seen what they look like.
Becoming perfect as if they were sterling silver chainsaws going cascading...[/blockquote][/blockquote]

H a w k s t a r

(I.) Orochimaru's Theme from the Naruto Soundtrack.
- Yeah, I was a Naruto-holic in sixth grade and had the soundtrack on my iPod. ^^;
I thought his song really got the vibe of a good chunk of his personality, even though it is instrumental.

song.

(II.) Who We Are by Lifehouse
- This sound was orginally Hawkstar's theme song in the MarshClan guild.
I thought this was describe him because he's never quite sure of who he is, he's always "discovering himself", and that's one of the reasons why he relies so heavily upon his religion.

song.

(III.) The Sixth Station from Spirited Away
This instrumental piano song is as sad as it is beautiful. It describes how Hawkstar is saddened by the world around him, and how he often wants to make it better.

song.

(IV.) Whispers in the Dark by Skillet
How Hawkstar will be there with his Clan for better or for worse and he tries to do the best he can for it.

(V.) Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
This song describes him because of how heavily Hawkstar feels the burden of leading his Clan. If anything bad happens he almost always instantly takes it upon himself to fix it.

song.

(VI.) I Made It by Kevin Rudulf
The words, "I made it", describe Hawkstar's ascent to leadership from being a disliked and untrusted apprentice.

song.

(VII.) Paranoid by Black Sabbath
How he like everyone is watching him, waiting for him to screw up.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aIhh9nFYv4] song.

(VIII.) Don't Stop Believin' by Journey
Highlights the lighter side of his personality and how he won't stop believing in StarClan, no matter what life throws at him.

Flickerstorm

Charlotte Martin - The Girl I Left Behind
She's a needer, a bleeder
I know that says a lot and
She's a girlfriend, a whirlwind
And not so logical
But she's an ocean in motion
And magical but you won't let her shine
This is the very beginning of Flickerstorm's emotions when she first birthed Featherkit, Gravelkit, Flurrykit, and Shellkit. She was reminiscing about the girl she left behind, before she became a mother.

Sia - Soon We'll Be Found
Well it's been rough but we'll be just fine
Work it out yeah we'll survive
You mustn't let a few bad times dictate
So come along, it wont be long
'Til we return happy
Shut your eyes, there are no lies
In this world we call sleep
Let's desert this day of work
Tomorrow we'll be free
Let's not fight I'm tired can't we just sleep tonight
Don't turn away it's just there's nothing left here to say
Turn around I know we're lost but soon we'll be found
This song perfectly represents Flickerstorm's fights with Blizzardclaw. She doesn't want to back down, but she doesn't want to fight with him. In her mind, she believes they'll be alright in the end.

Kesha - I Hate You
I hate you don't leave me
To myself your bringing the change of someone else
You break and repair me always leaves some piece behind
I'm tumbling sanely but all mixed up
I'm loosing my mind with controlling thoughts
temptation is torture, teasing me, pleasing me
This song relates to Flickerstorm because it narrates the aftermath of her fighting with Blizzardclaw. It's about how all her emotions are mixed up, how she wants him but doesn't want him. The very last line "Temptation is torture, teasing me, pleasing me" is about how she fell in love with Pantherfoot, while secretly betraying Blizzardclaw.

Lady Gaga- Fooled Me Again, Honest Eyes
Its been a hard day
Harder night
The rockstar's girlfriend
She lost the fight
Well its alright baby
I'm nobody's mother
But I don't want this last cigarette to be over
This song also represents the aftermath of Flickerstorm and Blizzardclaw's fight. It tells of how she's not a mother because she refuses to claim Blizzardclaw's kits as her own anymore and how all her nights are hard.

Celtic Thunder - Hard For Me To Say I'm Sorry
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry.
I just want you to stay.
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to.
After all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go
This song belongs to one of the darkest hours in Flickerstorm's life. She is telling Blizzardclaw that she is sorry, but it's hard for her to physically say it. She doesn't regret mating with Pantherfoot and bearing him his son, Cougarpaw, but sometimes she thinks it was better if it never happened.

Elliott Smith - Between The Bars
Drink up baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
This song is told from Pantherfoot's point of view, when he first persuaded Flickerstorm to love him. He wanted her to forget about Blizzardclaw, and realize that he was the only one for her.

Paramore - The Only Exception
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
But darling,
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality,
but I can't let go of whats part of me here.

[/color]
This represents when Blizzardclaw left to go to the mountains and Flickerstorm fell in love with Pantherfoot. Pantherfoot was the only exception to all her doubts, though Blizzardclaw was really still very vivid in her memories.

Keri Hilson - Energy
I wish I could rip out a page of my memory
'cause I put to much energy in him and me
To bad we can't re-write our own history
Such a mystery when he's here with me
It's hard to believe I'm still lonely
Chance's fading now, patience running out
This ain't how it's supposed to be
I'm having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy
How do we re-reverse the chemistry
I don't want us to be the end of me
This love is taking all of my energy[/color]
Considering Pantherfoot is Blizzardclaw's enemy now because of their feud over Flickerstorm, this song is told from Flickerstorm's point of view. She is telling Blizzardclaw that their love is taking all of her energy from all their fighting, so she mated with Pantherfoot.

Katy Perry - Thinking Of You
You said move on where do I go
I guess second best is all I will know
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
You're the best and yes I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know[/color]
This song is exactly how Flickerstorm felt when she gave birth to Cougarpaw. Sure, she loved Pantherfoot but life was not all mice and moonlight. She still loved Blizzardclaw, though she refused to let it show.

Metallica - Unforgiven
New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
You labeled me
I'll label you
I dub thee unforgiven[/color]
This one is pretty self-explanatory. It's about Cougarpaw's birth and how Blizzardclaw still remains unforgiven, though she still loves him.

Coldplay - 42
Those who are dead are not dead
They re just living in my head oh
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well [/color]
This is when Pantherfoot died. Flickerstorm wasn't broken, because she knew by this time that Pantherfoot wasn't meant to be her mate. StarClan gave Cougarpaw a golden pelt to remind her that Blizzardclaw was her one and only. THough Pantherfoot is dead, he still lives in Flickerstorm's heart, though not as a mate but merely as a friend.

Eminem - Not Afraid
It's a game called circle and I don't know how, I'm way too up to back down
But I think I'm still tryin to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't, this fuckin black cloud
still follows, me around but it's time to exorcise these demons
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, I'ma face my demons
I'm manning up, I'ma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now
No more drama from now on, I promise
to focus solely on handlin my responsibilities as a father[/color]
This song represents the final chapter in Flickerstorm's life. After Pantherfoot's death, after Cougarpaw's birth, after Blizzardclaw's return, Flickerstorm promises that she'll get her life back together. She's going to cut the crap and get her priorities straight. She knows she's made some mistakes, but she's lived through her darkest hours and she's become stronger because of it.[/blockquote]

Irkalla

Iris -- Goo goo dolls

This song shows Irkalla's hidden desire to feel the love of the family she never knew. Of a father and a mother, of siblings and grandparents. Her mother murdered her father before she was born along with her half-siblings who were unborn at the time. Her mother spent her time training her son most of the time, leaving Irkalla on her own. Osiris, her brother, is more distant than most cats around her, despite the fact that everyone seems to see them as two peas in a pod.
Click here for song

Cold Case Love -- Rihanna

This song shows Irkalla's fear of love. After hearing about how her father left her mother and mated with another she-cat while Adanna was pregnant, Irkalla was scared that if she found a tom she cared about, they would leave her. This has turned her somewhat against the idea of a mate and she thinks that she is probably better off without one.
Click here for song

I Will Not Bow -- Breaking Benjamin

This song shows Irkalla's individualism and lack of respect for authority of any kind. She wishes no blessings on the world or anyone in it, also shown in this song. She has a strong mind and will and while she may have hidden desires and fears, she will never let them rule her. No, she will rule her own life and survive.
Click here for song

Are You Happy Now? -- Michelle Branch

This song represents Irkalla's outward facade of strength. Seeing as she fears being left by someone she cares about, she had created a shield, showing that nothing can hurt her, it will only leave you in pain.
Click here for song

New Divide -- Linkin Park

This song demonstrates Irkalla's distance from her mother and brother. Not physically, but emotionally. Her mother always went off to train Osiris, leaving Irkalla to wander around and learn everything from herself. This created a void between Irkalla and her remaining family, a void that separates her still from becoming close with any of them.
Click here for song

So Cold -- Breaking Benjamin

So Cold was written about a man, who had committed infidelity. At the time in question, infidelity was punishable by death. Much like how Irkalla's father, Ammit, was killed by her mother for being unfaithful. This had been a key factor in how Irkalla has come to think of the world along with everyone in it, and also how the memory of the tale has haunted her since she first heard it.
Click here for song

Mad House -- Rihanna

A mad house the perfect way to explain the 'camp' in which Irkalla lives with The Family. Her family. It also describes perfectly her mind, twisted with the strong emotional pulls of rage, sorrow and overwhelming violent needs. So overall, Mad House describes both her living situation and her dark mind.
Click here for song

Can't Be Tamed -- Miley Cyrus

Can't Be Tamed is relatable to Irkalla as well. It describes her dislike of others attempting to control her along with the fact that she will not change for anyone. She is Irkalla, no one else.
Click here for song

Disturbia -- Rihanna

Also a song to describe Irkalla's darkened mind, Disturbia lightens upon her worries that she is insane or crazy, along with her need to frighten and harm others.
Click here for song

Bring Me To Life -- Evanescence

Bring Me To Life decries Irkalla's emptiness inside. Also, despite what she may believe herself, she has a desire for someone to come and save her before she is all gone.

Acornpaw

Today Was a Fairytale -- Taylor Swift

This song demonstrates perfectly how Acornpaw is a hopeless romantic. She imagines that her future mate will be absolutely perfect and sweep her off of her paws. When in reality, she will probably only end up hurting herself in the end. But a girl can dream, can't she?
Click here for song

Fearless -- Taylor Swift

Fearless describes Acornpaw's building excitement for her future. Again, mainly having a perfect tom come and sweep her off of her paws. In her day dreams, she imagines that she is fearless in embracing this future, which is what this song shows.
Click here for song

Ain't Nothing 'Bout You -- Brooks & Dunn

Going right along with Acornpaw's daydreams of the future, this describes her perfect tom, in essentials. As stated, they are perfect, the standards above the head of any possible suitors. But oh well, her daydreams seem to take control and there is no stopping them once they get going.
Click here for song

New Classic -- Selena Gomez feat. Drew Seeley

New Classic describes the fantasy love Acornpaw dreams that her future mate will feel for her. She imagines that he will be completely dedicated to her and think she is as amazing as she finds him.
Click here for song

Independent Woman -- Destiny's Child

Independent Woman demonstrates Acornpaw's dislike for others to try and defend her. She thinks that she doesn't need someone else to hold her paw everywhere she goes, she is a warrior in training for a reason after all.
Click here for song

Life Is A Highway -- Rascal Flatts

This song relates to Acornpaw's perseverance in the face of death. After her father and mentor passed to StarClan, her mother instilled in her that you can not let grief run your life, you have to keep living on your own terms.
Click here for song

Unstoppable -- Rascal Flatts

Unstoppable is how Acornpaw considers love. She believes that love can tramp any obstacle or attempt to stop it. After all, as the song says, love is unstoppable.
Click here for song

Can't Bring Me Down -- Karina Pasian

This song demonstrates how Acornpaw's stubborn nature does not allow her emotions or others to bring her down. She will always work past those things that stand in her way and never will allow something to stop her.
Click here for song

The Game Of Love -- Santana feat. Michelle Branch

Back to Acornpaw's hopelessly romantic mind. This song describes how she is unable to release the idea of a perfect and exciting romance.
Click here for song

I Miss You -- Avril Lavigne

While usually clinging to the belief that the past is the past and you must move on, she can never seem to remove those lingering thoughts of her brother, Bearkit. Though she would never admit it, Acornpaw was more deeply affected by his death than many believe. She thinks about him often and sometime silently asks him for advice or guidance.
