tretch;font-size:11px;text-align:justify;line-height:100%;"] She went down in a flash of blood and sharp claws, surrounded by screeches and hisses and the bitter scent of (BloodClan/The Exiles). It was disappointing, really, and she would have thought so, had she been able to during her last few waking, panic-filled moments; she had come so far, had finally slain her demons and overcome her one weakness. She'd regained some status in HawkClan, had recovered completely from the illness that had plagued her, had been working so damn hard to piece her relationship with Littlestar back together. Mercy had finally been making leeway, had come excruciatingly close to achieving happiness, finally —
and then she had lost it all, just like that.
How anticlimactic! Mercy certainly would have bemoaned it, had she been in the right state of mind. As it happened, she was not. Rather, she was dizzy and confused, blinking up at the cloudy sky from her position on the ground: lying down with splayed limbs, blades of grass tickling her nose. The air was dry, the breeze somewhat chilly; her soft fur fluffed up to defend her thin frame from the temperature, and she rolled over with a muted groan.
After a moment of stillness, the molly rose unsteadily to her paws and looked around through hazel eyes, taking in her surroundings. Nothing about the landscape was familiar. It wasn't HawkClan's, nor did it belong to her assailants; she knew that territory too well, courtesy of all the raids she herself had lead.
Come to think of it, thought the molly with a bit of unease, where were her attackers? There had been a sizeable group of them, but she couldn't pick up their scent anymore; had they vanished into thin air? The fur along her spine began to rise when it occurred to her that she could no longer smell any blood, either. But... perhaps someone had found her, unconscious, and healed her? But why would she be out in the middle of nowhere, if that were the case? She looked down at herself, studied her dainty paws and slender forelegs, which suddenly looked far thinner than she remembered. Furrowing her brow, Mercy elected to investigate, and set off to explore this new terrain at a brisk pace, her agitation growing by the minute.

— an effective, catch-all term to describe mercy would be motherly; she's kind and affectionate, willing to look out for anyone who's earned her trust, and while she isn't the most efficient fighter, she's willing to defend them as well. in fact, she tends to be overprotective when it comes to her family and other loved ones, and as such can come off as overbearing or a smother when dealing with others — especially her children. everything she does is in her loved ones' best interest, though, even if she can be irritating at times without meaning to. despite her inclination to protect others in the face of an enemy, her courage is usually short-lived, or even faked; she typically goes into battles fearful and unconfident thanks to her lack of training, and this only worsens as she's inevitably overwhelmed, to the point where she'll flee at the first opportunity. consequently, she's a rather unreliable partner in a fight, though again, she does try her best. she's a very emotional person, and an open book; if she's feeling anything intensely, you'll catch on quickly, for she frequently resorts to shouting and crying to express herself (the former negatively, the latter for just about everything). unfortunately, her negative emotions often get the best of her, and she tends to act irrationally as a result. in these instances, she usually thinks only about herself and will act very selfishly. in contrast, while she's expressive, she doesn't actually like to talk about her feelings very much, and in this aspect she can be considered detached, almost to the extent of secrecy. she keeps a lot of things to herself, actually, be it emotions or happenings that she would rather keep on the down low, and can become very stressed as a result. often times, she'll hide small things that really don't need to be hidden, and in doing so can land herself in more trouble than was initially necessary. mercy can be quite contradictory at times; she's highly self-critical and often beats herself up over small things, readily taking the blame even when a situation is out of her control. in spite of this, if she is accused of something and she doesn't agree, mercy will deny and dance around it, finding any excuse to justify her actions, no matter how deplorable they may have been. she grows bitter and resentful in the face of such allegations, trying to pin the blame on anyone but herself.
