Prompt:There was a point in her life where Shrikekit looked up to someone, certainly, as most kits do. The stronger cats, especially so her mother and older molly clanmates were inspirations for her, though no one motivated and interested her quite as much as her uncle Duckbee. Known as the best hunter within old Beamclan, one couldn't help but wonder how in the world he got to be where he was, and how to get to the same lengths as him. As a kit she would follow him around, being the most bold of her siblings, which her uncle was entertained by when he saw an ecstatic little furball copying his movements and trying her best to curl her tail like his. An idol was an understatement for her, he was undoubtedly her hero.
Moving to apprenticeship, Shrikepaw still looked up to her uncle, and was actually rather disheartened when her brother Duckpaw got him as a mentor. Still idolizing her uncle as much as she was as a kit, she would ask how Duckbee's hunts went and how Duckpaw is going with his training whenever she saw him. This was, of course, before the death of Duckpaw shattered her idol's spirit. To learn the best hunter to have existed in the entirety of old Beamclan resign his position as an early elder, almost crushed her own spark to keep training. At first she saw him as a coward, giving up over an accident, but over time saw his reasoning. Shrikepaw vowed to him to overtake his title as the best hunter, swearing her own claws on it. He laughed and accepted her challenge, leading Shrikepaw to continue her training with vigor.
Later in her adulthood, after receiving her warrior name, Shrikepounce was considered the most determined and hardworking of the hunters. In fact, there was rumor that Duckbee suggested her suffix '-pounce', as she often told him of her hunting trips and training as well as praising her hunting skills. Over time Duckbee became less a hero to her, but more so someone she can confide in over her worries. She still adored her uncle, and thought highly of him, but he was no longer someone at the top of the mountain. Those views come with age, as she has been told, though she still wishes for the pure mentality she had at a kit. Now that she is older, she can't help but notice the more depressing parts of the world. This was especially so after her father was crushed in a landslide when Doeleap was trying to take the remaining members to a new home. Not knowing if her brother and childhood friend were safe wracked her mind, but with Duckbee by her side, she was able to voice her worries to him.
As she finally reunited with him in Beamclan, she finds him to be more than she originally thought as a naive kit. This is why Duckbee, is the cat she looks up to most.
