Cat Name;; Silverheart
Gender;; Female
Age;; 18 moons
Clan;; SkyClan
Rank;; Warrior

Prompt;; When Silverheart was a young Silverpaw, she had an extremely close bond with another apprentice named Stormpaw. The two girls would always be near each other and were best friends. Silverheart is gay, and one day realized she really, really liked Stormpaw. Because they were so close, Silverpaw couldn't tell if Stormpaw into her not. Unfortunately for Silverpaw, she took the gamble and read their relationship wrong. Silverpaw had confessed to Stormpaw casually, but got rejected.

Silverpaw ached over it for days; not because she got rejected, she could handle that, but because it wrecked their friendship. If she had known a confession would slam open a mile wide distance between them, she would've kept it to herself. Silverheart aches over her lost friendship because she genuinely enjoyed the memories they made together, but it doesn't matter because Stormpaw died moons ago during a typhoon. Silverheart only has these memories of her first crush and it burns.

Gender;; Female
Age;; 42 Moons
Clan;; CreekClan
Rank;; Warrior

Prompt;;
A bittersweet moment in Burnetclaw's life is when her brother, Shrubfire, became mates with a she-cat named Jackalcall. The two cats had been close ever since they were apprentices and while Burnetclaw was happy that her brother found a mate and was incredibly happy with that mate, she was so upset that her brother had moved on and was leaving her behind. Burnetclaw didn't have the heart to ask her brother to spend time with her so the two eventually drifted apart, and Burnetclaw didn't want a mate or kits so she grew a little lonely sometimes. She didn't want to lose another cat again so she started to distance herself from friends as well, however, when the two had a kit, named Ruekit, and that one child ended up becoming her apprentice she opened up again, understanding she needed to move on. Her brother was happy, so she should be happy. While she still misses the bond they had as apprentices and younger warriors, she understands that he is happy and still loves her. They will always be littermates.

Prompt;;

dawnwhisper has had several unsuccessful litters, either losing her kits early or having still born kittens. all she has ever wanted was to have little ones to make over and care for, growing up in a clan without kittens around. it was something she craved and needed. on the verge of leaving swardclan due to issues she had experienced and bad memories, she soon learned that her clan mate, soulcinder was expecting. she felt jealousy at first, driving her away even more so, but then she had a change of heart. she grew closer to soulcinder now more than ever, making sure that she was always there for her when she was in need of a friend, especially due to her struggles with the father of the kits. when the kittens recently arrived, she felt all of the sadness from losing her own resurface, but soon after she also felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and love. soulcinder asked her if she would be willing to be a practical second mother to her children, knowing it was all the she-cat had ever wanted.

Cat Name;; Fennel
Gender;; she-cat
Age;; 25 moons
Clan;; Lighthouse
Rank;; Loner (will be moved to Frondship as a council member when it's got it's founder)

Prompt;;
Fennel stared down upon the empty nests. It was so quiet- peaceful as well. For an instant she thought she could feel the sun on her pelt again, and hear the whispers, laughs and jokes of her kinfolk. Yet staring at the scene which once held so many cats- the ghostly voices of her mind- she felt as if a knot was being tied in her stomach. The sweet sunshine was gone with it, for above the sky was filled with clouds.

The feline jumped as a rustling sounded near her. A cat had shouldered out from the bushes, letting out a meow of pain as he tugged at something in his paw. Fennel scoffed and hurried over, shaking off the chill as she distracted herself.

"Thorn?"

"Oh- yeah, just a-ahh ow! Warn me next time ok?!"

Fennel had quickly pulled it from her companion's paw. She gave his paw lick then gave him a playful shove, before turning away from him, carefully avoiding looking at the nests. "Catnip, keep your paw out of anything too dirty until we find cobweb."

"... Right." The tom mumbled before following her. She was leading him away from the nests, and she flinched as he stopped and said. "This place sure is a ghost town."

Fennel remained silent. She'd hoped to avoid telling this newcomer the truth of the area; she had wanted some company. A friend. And this young tom seemed to be just the thing... but if he knew.

"Fennel... where is everybody, anyways?"

Fennel sighed. She couldn't keep it from him; he'd been nice enough to help her. He deserved to know.

"... Nightshade plague got them."

Catnip let out a startled gasp, his eyes growing wide.

"Seriously?! Fennel, we shouldn't even be here, you know that illness- The area might be-"

Fennel turned to look at him, swallowing the grief and stating. "Don't worry too much- it's... been a few months. Over half a year. I haven't got it, I don't think will."

The two were soon left clearing, Catnip still showing visible signs of nausea at the idea while Fennel just tried not to think about it. A few hours later, the two young cats were resting in a cave, the sound of rain echoing around them as they snuggled together for warmth.

"I'm sorry, Fennel." Catnip said after a moment.
"About what happened here. You were so alone for so long, weren't you?"

Fennel nodded, still steeling herself against the tears, but not saying a word.

"Well... you have me now. And I won't tell... anyone back home about the plague. They might worry and I want them to accept you."

- - -

Fennel was accepted into Fernglade with no issue, the only words said about her old family being they had died out, with no specifics. Since then Catnip has become her mate and she and him have both risen to power in the group; and thinking back on that day they became friends is both precious and painful.

Cat Name;; Bloom of Spring Marigolds | Wither
Gender;; molly
Age;; 20 moons
Clan;; Disciples of Chaos
Rank;; Centurion | Warrior

Prompt;; 462
Bloom of Spring Marigolds was born to the Tribe of the Lillyreeds, a strict and traditional group tucked between a mountain, lake, and farmlands. Her mother was renowned Cave-guard Rock that Tumbles down Mountain, so pre-occupied in her duties little Marigold was often left neglected. This was fine, there was other kit-mothers to watch her and plenty of kits to occupy her time. Her kit-hood was simple and sweet, but training was a different story.

She grew rapidly, becoming stronger and more muscular than her counterparts. This wouldn't have been a problem if she didn't also grow more aggressive and competitive. More and more instances would occur of her injuring her partners, her mentors even - until the fatal accident.

Eagle Resting on Cracked Branch looked to the pile of trainees before him, nodding his head slowly. "This is first step to becoming the Cave-Guards you are meant to be, you have completed your training but now must face the final battle" he lectured, wisdom staining his words. "To defeat me is to prove your worthiness."

Marigold took this to seriously. Eagle could see this in her eyes, and ordered her to be last.
6 trainees went before her. 4 passed his test, 2 failed and would have to complete another round of training.

"Are you ready, Young Marigold?" Eagle asked with a flick of his tail.

"Always have been" She roared with triumph, lunging at the elder cave-guard with enough force to trample a coyote.

Eagle may have been old, but there was strength within him. He stumbled but regained his footing, pushing back against her.

Marigold fought ferociously, and held nothing back. She tore tufts of his fur out, splattered his blood in the grass.

"ENOUGH!" A distantly familiar voice snarled, causing Marigold to pull back. Her eyes met with that of her mothers.

"Have I made you proud, mother? Now that I finally have you're attention?!" She growled back, head rising with pride.

"You are not my daughter" Rock spat, putting her body over the collapsed elder. "Leave! You do not belong here!"

Marigold's ears flattened, a look of sadness flashed across her face before being replaced with a anger. "You're right. I don't belong here" she glared down to the other trainees, locking eyes with every tribe member who stared her down. "Not with such weak, pathetic souls such as yourselves."

Surviving on her own wasn't hard. She hunted, she traveled, she fought off anything that came her way. Until she met Red, the only cat to have ever defeat her. Instead of killing her, he took the young molly under his wing and into his band of misfits known as the Disciples. Red bestowed her the name of 'Wither' - a testament to uncontrolled strength, and ruthless battle tendencies.

Prompt;;

Marigoldpaw rolled in dirt to hide his markings. His dusty pelt already helped with that but he finished it off. The orange markings always reminded himself of the one aspect that he disliked about himself. He always got up early in order to do this.

"Marigoldpaw." He jumped and turned to look at the cat that surprised him. It was his mentor and leader, Sycamorestar.

"Sycamorestar.." He watched as his leader looked at the patch of dirt he used to dust himself.

"Is this where you run off to every morning?" Marigoldpaw looked down and nodded.

"Why?" It was a simple question. Marigoldpaw couldn't hear any malice in it.

"This body doesn't feel like mine..it makes me feel better...it makes me feel like me.." Sycamorestar simply nodded. He padded over to him and the dirt patch. His eyes widened as he watched his leader drop into the dirt and roll around in it like a dog.

"S-sycamorestar.." His leader got to his paws and smiled at him. He gently placed his tail top on his shoulder.

"A true warrior knows himself the best. If this is what makes you happen, then that is alright. Just know when you're ready to reveal yourself to the world, your Clan will always be beside you." With that, he padded back to camp. Marigoldpaw felt tears sting as his eyes, he looked back at the dirt patch before bounding after his leader.
