Petalfrost

### Family

Sprucestripe (mate), Thistlespring (sister), Minkkit (half-sister), Badgerkit (half-brother)

## Appearance and Personality

### Appearance

Petalfrost is a soft-furred, white and gray she-cat. She has long white fur with a large patch/stripe of gray running down her back and tail. There are three small, gray dots under each of her eyes, which are green.

### Personality

Petalfrost is a gentle she-cat. She values herself above others and is often rather haughty when speaks to others. She's also rather cowardly and doesn't like getting hurt. She does genuinely like other cats' company though, and is working on her more annoying character traits.

## Backstory

### Kithood

Petalkit and Thistlekit were born outside the Clans. Their mother, a loner named Tina, died when they were about five days old. Their father, Shard, was somewhat insane and often had visions that he thought were of the future. In one of these, he saw that, if his daughters were raised together, they would someday lead to his demise. Shard didn't like that, so he took one kit to each of the Clans bordering his mountain home, OasisClan and OrchidClan. He broke into camp, left the kit with the first cat he saw, and told the cat not to tell the kit or anyone else anything beyond the fact that she had a sister.

Petalkit was given to Lionspark. Lionspark didn't want to risk hurting the kit, so he asked a queen to look after her instead. The queen accepted the tiny kit and took care of her.

Petalkit grew up in OrchidClan. The queen only told her what Lionspark had told her: that somewhere, Petalkit had a sister. Petalkit didn't really care. She only truly cared about herself and, while she liked the queen well enough, she hardly saw her as family.

Petalkit got up to all sorts of things, mostly stealing flowers and leaves to make herself look prettier. She liked to tease the other kits, Lilykit in particular, because that's the sort of brat she was.

### Apprenticeship

Petalpaw was made an apprentice at six moons old, as usual.

When she was six moons old, she started hanging out with an older apprentice, Sprucepaw. They met when he was playing with a leaf and rolled into her. She was rather upset with him, because she thought herself above him for whatever reason. This is Petalpaw we're talking about.

Over the moons, Petalpaw became better friends with Sprucepaw. There was just something enchanting about him and she decided to be his friend. His mother, Frondmist, didn't seem to approve of their friendship, but Petalpaw being Petalpaw, she didn't care.

When Petalpaw was ten moons old, Lilypaw mentioned that she smelled a fox. Petalpaw took Sprucestripe and Frondmist and went to drive off the fox. During the fight, Sprucestripe got injured and they had to take him back to camp, where Swallowfrost thought it would be funny to pretend he was dying. Petalpaw was not amused.

### Warrior Life

Petalpaw became a warrior under the name Petalfrost. She definitely liked Sprucestripe by this point but, being a strict traditionalist romantic, didn't do anything about it.

I mean, she did make him a flower crown once out of daisies. Then he made her one out of lilacs. And they admitted to liking each other. So now they're "together".

Anyway, they went back to camp and Pansymoon made them babysit Badgerkit and Minkkit in her stead. They talked about siblings with Minkkit a bit and Petalfrost was all sad because she didn't know who her sister was. The whole situation was kind of ironic because Minkkit is technically her sister, but not the one she knows about. Isn't that fun.

Later that moon, Sprucestripe officially proposed and Petalfrost of course said yes. They went exploring in HorizonClan, shared a mouse in camp, and watched the sunset by the Lilac Pools, a spot in OrchidClan's territory with a stream, a small waterfall, and several lilac trees. It's known as a very romantic spot.

### Trivia

* Daisies symbolize innocence, purity, and new beginnings. Lilacs, depending on the color, can mean purity, innocence, happiness, tranquility and/or love. Did I know this while writing the roleplay strand? No. Did Dragon? Probably not. But what a crazy coincidence, huh?
