History: Birchkit was found outside of the SilverClan camp one night while half the Clan was at a Gathering. Unbeknownst to the Clan, Birchkit's mother was Dovesong, a white she-cat notoriously known for abandoning her Clan during a scuffle with some rogues, for she was deeply in love with a particular rogue, Flame. She had a litter of four kits, but Birchkit was the only survivor. After having her kits, Shade heartlessly left Swiftstream to build a life with another rogue. Alone and regretful for leaving her Clan, Dovesong left Birchkit at the entrance to the SilverClan camp, hoping that someone would find her. The next day, Dovesong was hit on a nearby Thunderpath.
Birchkit was eventually found by a young warrior named Oakfoot. Mistyleaf, a queen who had recently had two kits in the past quarter moon, adopted Birchkit as one of her own. Many warriors of SilverClan were disproving of the tiny kit, including the Clan leader, Marshstar. Spottedkit grew up alongside her foster brother and sister, Nightkit and Icekit.
A few moons later, the three kits became apprentices and became known as Birchpaw, Icepaw, and Nightpaw. Spottedpaw's mentor was an old, experienced she-cat named Sunleap. During a hunting assessment one day, Birchpaw was tasked to bring back at least three pieces of prey. As she was hunting, she came across a huge black tom named Leopardpaw. She attacked him, and nearly badly injured him before she realized that he meant no harm. Leopardpaw reveals that he used to be a part of DawnClan before he was exiled around five moons prior by their fierce leader, Reedstar, because he was too small. He had since spent his days training by challenging rogues that lived far up north to fight, thus becoming the huge cat he was. He and Birchpaw instantly became friends, and began seeing each other every time Birchpaw went hunting alone.
Only four moons after being apprenticed, Birchpaw was made a warrior for killing a fox that nearly killed Sunleap, thus accepting the name, Birchleaf. While Nightpaw was happy for his adopted littermate, Icepaw was jealous and furious. The following night, Icepaw lured Sunleap out of camp with the excuse of a badger on SilverClan territory, and drowned her in the lake, making the excuse that the badger killed her. Leopardpaw, who was passing through the area at the time, saw the entire thing, and reported it to Birchleaf at their next meeting. Birchleaf reported it to Marshstar, who drove Icepaw out of the Clan. Icepaw, however, was reluctant to leave until she swore revenge on her foster sister.
A couple of moons later, Nightpaw is made a warrior, taking the name Nightfall, and Birchleaf receives her first apprentice, Bronzepaw. She also discovers that she is carrying Leopardpaw's kits, and, while worried about how she would explain them to the Clan, was overjoyed and eager to tell Leopardpaw. However, before she can tell Leopardpaw the news, he tells Birchleaf that he is returning to DawnClan, and they can no longer see each other. Not waiting for answer, he padded over to DawnClan's territory. Birchleaf was shocked, but continues with her normal life. Bronzepaw eventually becomes Bronzefur, and cats start noticing BirchLeaf's enlarged belly. She simply says that she does not want to reveal the father, and no one questions this. Despite her noticeable pregnancy, Marshstar still promotes her as deputy after the then-current deputy retires to the elder's den.
One night, a huge dam bursts to the north of the lake. The entire territory is badly flooded, and many SilverClan cats die, including the medicine cat, Thorncloud, Rocktalon, and Marshstar himself. The Clan is forced to move to an old Twoleg nest a little to the northeast of the Clan territories where the water level isn't as high. BirchLeaf does not get a chance to go to Moonpool before her kits come. The new medicine cat, Lavendertail, helps her through her long labor and Spottedclaw successfully births two kits: a black tom, and a she-cat that looks exactly like her mother. She doesn't even have time to name them before DawnClan, now taken over by Icepaw, invades the nest. Both sides suffer heavy losses, and Birchleaf is almost killed by her former mate, now known as Tigerheart, while he is crazed by the adrenaline of battle. During the battle, a vicious thunderstorm breaks out and lightning strikes the Twoleg nest and it catches fire. Nightfall kills Icepaw by throwing his sister into the fire. The den begins to collapse, and Birchleaf is desperate to rescue her kits, who were being protected by Lavendertail. Spottedclaw makes it inside, but Lavendertail pushes her back out as debris began to fall. Spottedclaw is devastated that her kits and medicine cat our probably dead, but Lavendertail manages to crawl out with the she-kit and tom. Her tail had gotten stuck under the falling board, and she had somehow ripped off her own tail in order to get out of the nest. Birchleaf named the she-kit Gustkit and the tom Scorchkit, as she notices that one of his eyes has soot all in it. Afterwars, the floodwaters die down, and Birchleaf gains her nine lives, becoming Birchleaf, and naming Silvernose as her deputy.
