## In-game history

### Day 0:

Nettlepaw welcomes you in the apprentices' den, along with Badgerpaw. If your prefix is Thorn or Dove, she will be a bit less welcoming, especially in the case of thorn.

### Day 1:

Nettlepaw is encountered at the end of the tour of the territory, training in the Mossy Clearing with Waspwing. She leads you back to camp, and asks you to not fight Kestrelpaw on your first training, and gets upset with you if you do not obey her. She can be found later in the mossy clearing, and you can see her practicing Whirlwind Strike. You can ask her about not fighting Kestrelpaw. (If Kestrelpaw's with you, she'll pretend not to know what you're talking about.) She can also train you on stances.

### Day 2:

Nettlepaw joins the others in the mossy clearing for battle practice. If the player chooses her and manages to win, she'll be shocked, angry, however, her mother will be impressed. She will also get terribly angry if you fight Kestrelpaw, especially if you promised not to earlier. She'll join in the search for kits to the left of camp. If Nightkit has fallen in the hollow by floral patch, she'll require the player's help to find them. After you fight the rogues, she notices how beat up you and the apprentices are, and she says she should’ve kept an eye on you.

### Day 3:

Before the apprentices meeting, she is hunting by herself by the ShadowClan Lake border. At the meeting, she says that she mastered a new move. When the fox attacks, she doesn’t want Duskpaw to fight it by himself. She likes Kestrelpaw’s idea of sending one cat, but will refuse if you try to send her, because she’s the best fighter. If Kestrelpaw dies, she will dislike you if you try to tell her that it wasn’t her fault.

If you fight the fox and win, she will get her warrior name that day.

### Day 4:

If Nettlepaw is still an apprentice and you pick her for your patrol, she will refuse, saying that she was chosen for the WindClan border. However, if you had previously fought Kestrelpaw, and she still hates you, she will force herself on your patrol, regardless of who you choose. After the patrol, she tells you that she went with you because you needed supervision. She also asks if you are aware of the impact of your actions.

If you go to the hawks meeting, Nettlepaw will be there. When the possibility of Kestrelpaw joining is brought up, she says he doesn’t have the right worldview. Suggesting that Kestrelpaw could join their cause will decrease your relationship with her.

In the midst clearing Nettlepaw will show off Whilwind Strike, her new move, to the other apprentices. If she hates you enough, she will hit you much harder than the others, and claim that it was an accident. Duskpaw gets mad that it’s a dark forest move that she learned, and gets worried about her getting lost in a pursuit of power. Nettlepaw doesn’t see why he’s upset, because it’s just stories to her.

### Day 5:

In camp, she will mention that she’s waiting for the hunting patrols to bring back something. You can give her a piece of prey that you caught. If you give her a rabbit, she will say that she loves those, and that she appreciates you for it.

She will later be on the Moonpool patrol with you and Blackheart, and Kestrelpaw if he is alive. She will try to compliment Kestrelpaw, saying that he’s good at fighting rats, but he doesn’t appreciate it, because it felt fake. Nettlepaw says that she was just trying to be nice. When Tempestpaw shows up, and helps with the rats. She says that it was good to see him.

If Nutkit is in ThunderClan, and you went to the doves meeting, Nettlepaw will be involved in getting her back to ShadowClan. If you ask her about it in the mossy clearing, she says that kits should belong with their family. She also asks you what you thought of the Moonpool.

### Day 6:

If you are sent to the ShadowClan border, Nettlepaw will be there with the other hawks. Waspwing, her mentor, does not seem to respect her that much.

In the mossy clearing, she will ask Badgerpaw if she's afraid that other cats accept her for who she is. Nettepaw worries that by being too content with herself, she is missing out on opportunities to improve. If you had previously trained with her every time you could, she will ask you what motivates you to train so much. If you give her a feather and she doesn’t hate you, she will say she’s happy you consider her your friend. If you give her all of the feathers, she says that there are so many, and that she doesn't know what to say, and she thanks you for it.

### Day 7:

If you chose to patrol WindClan border with her and Duskpaw, she will talk with him about the difference between dreams and goals. Duskpaw think’s she’s training to become a clawmaster, but she clarifies that her end goal isn’t to be stronger to beat anyone who disagrees with her. She says dreams are there to remind us that there's something beyond the reality of everyday life. She also tells Duskpaw that he and Tempestpaw are very alike.

Before everyone gets to the gathering island, she gets into a fight with Creekskip, and she wins. If you talk to her while Reedpaw is following you, she will ask that you don’t hang out with him, because he’s Creekskip’s brother. She is also seen taking to Tempestpaw at the gathering.

### Final:

While patrolling the ShadowClan border before they attack, she tell Duskpaw that he needs to be more careful. When Duskpaw asks if they really fit together, she’ll tell him that he’s always felt like a younger brother to him

If she is a warrior, you will have the option to help her fight Sootleg or let her do it alone. If she fights her alone, then she will lose. When Sootleg reveals that Rabbitclaw is her father, she tells you and the other apprentices that it’s none of your business.
