Origin:Ginger was the little darling of the junkyard. It had been many years since the colony that ran the place had seen kittens, so when Ginger’s mom showed up pregnant and homeless, they welcomed her with open paws. Ginger and her brother were doted on their whole kithood. The junkyard was a great place to grow up! Lots of places to explore, and no one dared mess with her when she was under the protection of the junkyard toms. They even let her keep a baby squirrel without protest. You could say she turned out spoiled. So what made this princess decide to leave her comfortable place in the junkyard colony? Well… it turns out it didn’t take too much convincing.
She got a glimpse of the calico she-cat from a distance as she was crossing the edge of her territory one day. Who was she? Where was she going? She wondered. Didn’t this stranger know that coming too close to the junkyard was not a good idea? Her leader would not be happy to have strange cats just tromping through their land! But… Ginger kind of hoped she’d see her again. She was so pretty. Ginger found herself daydreaming about this cat over the next few days. And then she spotted her again!
“Stop!” Ginger demanded.
The she-cat froze. “I’m sorry. I was just passing through! I was on my way to visit someone. I’m Sunflower. What is your name?”
Wow…! Ginger stared at her for a moment, barely hearing her speak. Sunflower had beautiful yellow eyes like the flower she was named after, and her pelt was the perfect mix of colors.
“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to…?” Sunflower continued, misreading her silence.
“You may call me Ginger,” she finally found her voice. “You’re walking through my home. This place is already claimed. You shouldn’t walk through here unless you want to ask to join.”
“Oh… I’m sorry! I already have a home. I didn’t mean to bother you. I was actually looking to recruit more cats for my clan but I see you’ve already got a place. I guess I should be on my way, then.”
Oh no. Ginger didn’t know what to do. She basically just told her not to come back! But Ginger wanted to be Sunflower’s friend! Or maybe more than friends! “I can go with you!” She blurted out.
Sunflower blinked. It was really that easy? Mouse Squeak had taken a week of convincing! “Really? Don’t you want me to tell you more about the clan first?”
“That’s okay. It’s perfect if you are running it,” Ginger meowed, with way too much conviction for someone who had never left the junkyard before. Ginger followed Sunflower to camp, hanging onto her every word as Sunflower told her about her old life and how she’d found the perfect place to settle. When they exited the tunnel, she saw a cat poke their head out of a cave.
Mouse Squeak quietly watched them approach, assessing. How did Sunflower manage to find another clanmate so soon?
“I’m back! This is-“ Sunflower started to say.
“My name is Ginger,” Ginger meowed.
Mouse Squeak blinked at her and looked to Sunflower. Where did she find this cat?
Ginger continued to gaze at Mouse Squeak. “And you are?”
“This is Mouse Squeak,” Sunflower meowed.
“Hello.” Mouse Squeak said. She’d have to get used to Sunflower bringing back new cats.
