HISTORY
Lilythorn, as her name suggested, was a prickly she-cat. She was quick to go on the defense and was quite sensitive when it came to her origins. Her mother was Duskshine, a ThunderClan warrior. Her father was Ninja, a wandering kittypet-turned-loner that was exceptionally skilled at stalking. The two had a one-night-stand before splitting up, and thus Lilythorn was born.
Cinderflame didn't care much for her origins. How could he, when he himself didn't know where he came from? He was found alone at the border, wailing with hunger and crying for his mother. There was blood on him, along with the faint stench of fox. It didn't take long to put together what had happened, and so he was taken into the Clan.
The two bonded over their 'tainted' blood, and soon became quite fond of each other. Fond enough, at least, to have a litter of kits.
First born in a litter of three, Brackenkit was named for his golden brown pelt. Second born was Tawnykit, a brown tabby she-cat with a white chest and paws. The two shared Lilythorn's expressive green eyes. Lastborn was Silverkit, who took most after their father. The two had the same light gray tabby pelt and sharp amber eyes.
Although Brackenkit was the eldest, he was no where near being the responsible one. Tawnykit was naturally the more serious of the litter, thinking beyond the here and now and scolding them when they didn't think of the consequences of their actions. Brackenkit and Silverkit teased her about it and told her to lighten up.
The brothers were as alike in personality as they were different in looks. Both were lighthearted and charismatic, having a presence that drew others to them without even trying. They shared such a mind that they often didn't even have to use words to communicate. A single look was all they needed before knowing full well what the other was thinking.
It drove Lilythorn mad when they ganged up on her. It didn't help that Cinderflame encouraged their antics with the excuse that it was good training for later in life. Tawnykit was the only thing keeping Lilythorn sane. Figuratively, of course. Lilythorn, no matter how they drove her mad, loved her kits equally. That love held the family strong, up until their apprenticeship.
Brackenpaw was given to Frostnose, a pure white she-cat with green eyes. She was a better fighter than hunter, because her pelt made hunting in anything but snow difficult. By the time three moons had passed, he pin his siblings in one, two, three. He never grew a big head about it, though Silverpaw often teased that Brackenpaw could just sit on him and he'd surrender.
The moons training were spent with playful bickering and loving support. When things got difficult, the other two were there to bring them back up. Tawnypaw was the sensible one of the group. She was probably the only reason they weren't killed before reaching their twelfth moon. Silverpaw kept the mood light, never taking anything too seriously and willing to let life go where it will.
Cinderflame and Lilythorn took as much interest in their kits' lives as possible, without being overbearing. There was an older apprentice in the den, a she-cat named Poppypaw, that Silverpaw seemed to be crushing on. It wasn't like he was hiding it, always wanting to be near her and complimenting her. Cinderflame and Brackenpaw took turns needling him about it, but he just shrugged it off in true Silverpaw fashion.
A moon before they were due to become warriors, their happy little world was ripped to shreds. It wasn't supposed to happen. A simple skirmish with ShadowClan, that was it! It's happened all the time in the past. Or the family, Cinderflame and Brackenpaw were the only ones fighting. As such, Brackenflame was the only one who saw what happened.
Cinderflame had been clinging to someone's back, paddling their spine with unsheathed back claws. The enemy had struggled to throw him off and succeeded. But Cinderflame didn't get back up. Brackenpaw fought off his own enemy before approaching his father, who didn't even look like he was breathing.
That's because he wasn't. The enemy had thrown Cinderflame in a way that his neck broke. Every cat in the clearing stopped what they were doing when they heard his anguished howl. The skirmish was called off and both Clans retreated.
During the vigil later that night, Brackenpaw made a secret request to the leader. When the time came for his warrior name, he wanted to be called Brackenflame, in honor of his father. A moon later, his wish was granted.
Warrior
Brackenflame, Tawnywhisker, and Silverheart. Those were the names the leader bestowed upon the three new warriors. The whole night, all three of them felt their father's spirit with them. Brackenflame could have sworn he even heard him whisper a 'thank you' in his ear. It was comforting to know that Cinderflame was watching over them.
Life went on, as it always does. Silverheart asked Poppycloud, his crush, to be his mate. She accepted by asking what took him so long, surprising everyone. No one had thought she'd noticed his affections, as she'd never really treated him differently from her other friends. Soon the two had three of the sweetest kittens you would ever meet.
The eldest was a dark brown tabby tom, which they named Stonekit. Then a dark gray tabby she-cat, who was given the name Dawnkit. Cloudkit, the baby, was a fluffy light gray tom.
