Cat's Name: Ashtail
Cat's gender: Male
Clan Thread: PeatClanPrompt:Name Meaning:Ashtail was born to a kittypet. At a young age their home caught fire and his mother carried all of her kittens to the forest by the peatland. A PeatClan patrol happened to pass by and rushed back to help rescue the remaining kittens. He was the last one out. Covered in ash, the clan thought he was a different colour underneath but only after many hours of grooming they saw that he wasn't. His mother recovered and headed home but left her kittens behind, convinced they had been 'ruined' by the two moons spent with the clan cats. He was named Ashkit for his colour. At his warrior ceremony, he was named Ashtail for his long tail.

First Day as an Apprentice:"Maplestride," the apprentice shouted as he ran across the clearing, "what are we doing today?"
The chocolate cat greeted him with the touch of her cold nose.
"Just getting used to the territory," she purred. The two walked across the mire, sinking into the mud. A few times the warrior had to pull Ashpaw out by his scruff. The boisterous apprentice was asking less questions as the day went on.
"Can't we go another way?" he asked.
"You've got to get used to it," she comforted, "this is the only way to the big lake."
"What's so good about this big lake then?" Ashpaw grumbled.
"It's always full of prey," she smiled, "unless you want to chance the river."
"But it's so cold and wet," the apprentice shivered, "I don't like it!"
"You'll get used to it."
