sheep was born a rogue in a sleepy old barn infested with cats. his parents loved him,
but simply couldn't keep up with the duties a new mother and father had to take on.
thus, they dropped him off at the paws of one of the queens. here, he was fostered by
what he considers one of the closest families around. despite being a bit of an outcast,
sheep bonded closely with one of his foster sisters, caterpillar. the two were inseparable
by the time they had adopted him. the pair did everything together, and loved to learn
about the world around them. though, throughout the moons, caterpillar grew weaker.
sheep tried his best to revive her, time and time again with the knowledge he had absorb
ed, but nothing seemed to work. his foster parents cried that it was fate, that starclan
meant to do this all along, to take their kit from them. on their last day together, sheep
promised her that he was off to get the best herbs he could find. and try he did, starclan
only knows he tried, but once he arrived back in the barn, the passion and adoration in
her eyes had all but burned out. that night, they dug her a deep grave and fitted it with
moss, soft nesting and stalks of pure white cotton. sheep had personally rolled some berries
in after her; wild strawberries to be exact, which were some of her favorite treats. as they
rested her body into the grave, sheep had finally broke and screamed towards the sky as to
why they let his sister, his sister of all people, die. he pleaded with starclan night and
night again to bring her back somehow. he missed her deeply, but somehow he knew that
she too walked his path beside him day in and day out. that brought him peace, but very little.
nonetheless, his efforts were fruitless. with a new distaste for life and religion, the tom left
his foster family with quick goodbyes and a lack of tears. though, his determination for
knowledge never ceased. he learned all that he could, and focused on herbs the most. he
never wanted to go through that again, so he dedicated his time to helping prevent that
for others. so they didn't need to waste their energy and tears over a lost family member.
now, he roams as a rogue and a healer who is requested often for his heavenly work. he's
quite dismissive of his skills, though; he's doing it all for caterpillar. she'd be proud, right?
