Reedkit was a happy-go-lucky tom, he loved many and was loved by many.

Originally, the clan needed a Medicine Cat apprentice, and Reedkit was interested,but at the time of his apprenticeship, there was already a medicine cat: His friend in the nursery, brave, compassionate, Featherkit. Featherpaw, by the time Reedkit stepped out of the nursery. Feathesong, by the time Reedpaw was done his apprentice assessment.

Reedkit loved to hunt, he has a sharp nose and soft paw pads to help him. His mentor, Yellowstar, was always proud of her young apprentice,and treated him like her own kit. It was at that time Reedpaw fought his first battle, against the cruel rouges, directed by the mighty Pouncestar of ShadowClan and the rogue leader, Anders.

One of the apprentices, the son of the late Patchstar, begged to stay behind a RiverClan when the other WindClan cats were preparing to leave the RiverClan camp. He was a reserved, angry young cat, but Reedpaw befriend him quickly, and the two were best friends soon enough. As Reedpaw became Reedheart and Sleetpaw became Sleetfang, Yellowstar was taken by a wave of greencough, and passed so that her deputy, Hidingstorm, took the position of Hidingstar quickly. To Reedheart's great surprise, he was made Deputy!

In his deputy days, he became mates with his kithood friend Rosethorn, the sister of Feathersong. They had two beautiful kits: Thrushkit the first kit, named for his dappled-brown fur and rather musical chirp, and Tanglekit,for her amazingly long fur.

Of course, the days of Deputy couldn't last forever. Reedstar became Reedstar too quickly, and would have chose Thrushpaw as his deputy, but instead chose his best friend, Sleetfang. Reedstar may regret that decision for seasons to come, for during one battle, his so called "best friend" betrayed him.

As Reedstar laid on the grass, bleeding out his life, the thing on his mind was,"Why did he do this?" He could never forget the look on Sleetfang's face.The eyes belong to an evil maniac, not to the tiny kit who once begged to stay in RiverClan.
