My mother, Orchid, was a stern yet quiet she-cat. Her skills in fighting were almost unmatched despite having one blind eye. She helped train my brother and me as kits to defend ourselves.
Our father on the other paw, well, we never got to meet him. Mother would tell us stories about him. She said he was a very adventurous cat, he never felt welcomed in the colony so he left to find his calling. He was an outsider accepted into the colony. Mother would never tell us his name even when we asked. She would change the subject quickly. She says he had strange yet captivating eyes and that I look a lot like him. I think my brother was jealous of me because of that, though I'll never know.
My brother and I...we didn't have a good relationship. He was always bitter towards me but was friendly with the other cats around our age. It made me feel left out, so I'd explore around the falls imagining where my father went and wondering if he adored exploring around his territory as a kit. I don't think that made our relationship better, especially with our Trials coming closer and closer. He was a bigger cat, so my loss wouldn't have been disappointing. I wanted to find my father anyway, explore the world! But life never goes as plan, does it?
