## Backstory

### Kithood

Dappledkit was born alongside her two smaller sisters, Kitekit and Sprucekit, to a queen named Tawnytail and a warrior named Logpelt. Tawnytail and Kitekit died after the birth due to health complications, so it was just Logpelt, Dappledkit, and Sprucekit.

Logpelt didn't get to see his kits much due to being really busy with rebuilding the camp and going hunting and on patrols because of a recent fox attack, and then he just flat-out died when both kits were 2 moons old, so Dappledkit and Sprucekit stuck together like glue. They were as close as you could be, they played together, talked together, napped, ate, almost everything. Dappledkit and Sprucekit didn't get to have milk very often though, due to there being one queen in the nursery with four newborn kits she constantly needed to take care of, leaving them small and malnourished.

Dappledkit and Sprucekit were made apprentices when it was time, and had an okay kithood.

### Apprenticeship

Dappledpaw was apprenticed to a lazy cat named Littleyawn. Littleyawn didn't do much to train her, and she mostly spent time with Sprucepaw and her mentor. She didn't have a very interesting apprenticeship.

Except for when she was ten moons old. Dappledpaw managed to convince Littleyawn to come with her and her sister Sprucepaw outside camp to hunt and play-fight, so they'd have a warrior supervising them, but stuff went down real soon.

Sprucepaw and Dappledpaw were fighting in an open area, and since Sprucepaw and Dappledpaw were both small, thin, and underweight for their age, they were perfect prey to be carried off by a hawk that was circling them nearby. They didn't notice the hawk until they finished sparring, when it was beginning to swoop down, and Littleyawn was falling asleep a little ways away from them, so he didn't hear them. Dappledpaw ran as fast as the wind could carry her but Sprucepaw had gotten caught in a heather bush, and was picked up and carried away.

Dappledpaw was *very* angry that Littleyawn, a stronger, bigger, and fully capable warrior, did *nothing* to help. She furiously woke him up, scratches from the hawk on her pelt, and they went to camp where she explained what happened. Littleyawn was punished and Dappledpaw, having no mentor now that he was busy with punishment work, just sat there for a moon.

Until she was eleven moons old of course. An apprentice her age, who she'd somehow never noticed as a kit or young apprentice, approached her in an attempt to make her feel better. His name was Birchpaw, and he was a kind, funny, and awkward tom who she really warmed up to. He let her vent about her feelings, especially since her father had recently died as well, and they both started to catch feelings for one another.

They became warriors at twelve moons old. Yay!

### Warrior Life

Dappledpaw and Birchpaw recieved the names Dappledsand and Birchtumble. After their ceremony, Birchtumble asked Dappledsand to be mates, and she said yes. How cute!

Dappledsand and Birchtumble quietly loved each other for a while, doing cute things like napping together, eating together, giving each other small gifts, things like that. Then, not long after, she quietly informed everyone that she was expecting kits at thirteen moons old. Everyone thought that was a little young to have kits, but everyone was happy when Dappledsand gave birth one and a half moons later. The birth was premature, so the single kitten was smaller than usual, but everyone was still happy.

The kit was named Beechkit and he was a brave but self-conscious kit who always worried about what everyone thought of him, and wanted to prove that he was as good as everyone else, even if he was small!

Beechkit eventually grew up to be a young apprentice. He was mentored by his father, Birchtumble, and a moon after his ceremony he went on his first solo mission, with Birchtumble silently watching. Wanting to be a brave apprentice and to prove himself, like the reckless lad he was, he wandered a bit too far along Twolegplace and ended up encountering two BloodClan warriors. Birchtumble, being the good and protective father he was, intervened immediately, and tried to protect his son, but Beechpaw ended up dying.

A severely injured Birchtumble took the now dead Beechpaw back to camp before slumping and collapsing himself. He was in intensive care in the medicine den but died that night. Dappledsand didn't even get to tell him that she was expecting kits, or get to tell Beechpaw that he was going to be a big brother.

Dappledsand didn't even want to parent anymore, but she didn't dare let her new kits know that. She gave birth to another single tom, which frightened her a bit, and she tried to name him Beechkit, but the queens in the nursery didn't let her. They knew she'd try to replace Beechpaw and they had to make her understand each and every kit was different, and that she'd be dumping a huge weight on the new kit's shoulders to try and be like a person that didn't even *exist* anymore.

So, the kit was named Sprucekit, after Dappledsand's sister. Little Sprucekit was born at the right time, so he was healthy, strong, and nothing like his dead older brother. He was kind, friendly, and loved playing. Dappledsand was really missing Beechpaw, but loved her new son to death. She was so proud and eventually chilled out as Sprucekit grew up. From Sprucekit, to Sprucepaw, to Sprucefur.

Throughout Sprucefur's young warrior life, Dappledsand befriended a beautiful pearly white she-cat named Wingflight. Wingflight was talented, elegant, polite, and charming, and Dappledsand was getting very confused and flustered because she found herself falling head over heels for her. She had never in her life had feelings for a she-cat before, but she sort of...liked it.

Dappledsand watched Sprucefur grow to get older and have his own mate, Poppytail, who she thought was personally revolting, but was willing to help her for the sake of Sprucefur's happiness. At least, she thought Sprucefur was happy with her, and she was delighted to see her son have a single daughter named Gingerkit, who grew to a beautiful yet anxious warrior named Gingerrose. She was finally content with her life.

Now, Dappledsand usually just flirts with Wingflight. It's super cute.
