## Biography

#### (Cw for a toxic relationship ig. It’s nothing horrible, but SlashMoon is definitely not Great, either)

before I do anything else I just need a timeline of her kids and her relationship bc I am confusing myself so much 💀

16 moons- runs into a strange loner one time while out hunting w Leafshine. Hes a big bulky yellow n white tabby with lotsa scars. He’s actually a massive jerk and almost gets into a fight w Leaf over prey before he agrees to leave their territory, but Moon actually feels a little sorry for him. Bc *clearly* he must’ve gone through smth to be so scarred and aggressive, no??? She thinks Leaf was a lil bit hard on him, and she tries to catch his eye to give him an apologetic look as he leaves.

17 moons- early one morning, she’s poking around the outer border to find some flowers to decorate the camp with bc it looks a little drab. yk, like you do. and she crosses over a hill and accidentally comes only a few meters away from a fairly young coyote that’s feeding on a rabbit. and she just freezes bc. *omg whoopsie im boutta die arent i.* the coyote notices her right away and looks directly at her, but before it can do anything its suddenly attacked by another cat! lo and behold! it’s the same mean loner from last month! he startles the coyote enough that it just takes off, but it does bite him pretty hard on the back and he’s somewhat injured. Moon is like “omg!!!” and immediately goes over to help and be grateful and offers to bring him back to see the medicine cat. little does she know, the dude actually had no idea she was there and was just attacking the coyote to steal its food, but he takes credit for potentially saving her life anyways lol. he refuses to go into her camp tho after his previous hostile run-in w Leafshine, n is just like “help me to my den n we’ll call it even” so Moon’s like “ok!!!” and so she does that. he has a small little dug-out den at the base of another hill a short distance past the border and there’s enough greenery around for him to more or less stop his own bleeding. The dude insists that he’s fine and that moon can leave now, but she wants to know his name first. He introduces himself as Slash. Moon explains who she is as well and is like “are u sure ur okay??? :(“ n he’s like “yea screw off”. so she screws off. except she can’t get this guy out of her head now, and she still feels bad, and she knows he’ll have trouble hunting with an injury like that- so for the next couple of days, she goes out of her way to catch extra food and pick some anti-infection herbs like marigolds and she leaves them outside his den. he catches her doing it one time and is like “????” and she’s all embarrassed, but he’s like “ugdhfhgb fiiiiine 🙄 since u wont leave me alone i GUESS u can come in and we can chat” and she’s all happy and they get to have an actual conversation. she learns that he’s about 6-7 moons older than her and has been by himself ever since his mom died when he was 8 moons old. she rlly feels for him n brings up the possibility of joining OrC, but he gets very angry at that. he doesn’t like the Clans very much, although he notes that she’s the only nice cat he’s met from them. Moon gets a little shy about that, although it makes her feel warm inside n she’s like “omg do i have a crush on this dude???” in any case, Slash eventually agrees to let moonmist keep coming to him every couple of days with prey and herbs, under the condition that she doesn’t mention him at all to her friends and Clanmates bc he doesn’t like them. in hindsight that should’ve been a red flag, but oh well. moonmist is 17, she’s young and naive and she likes this big strong cool guy. she doesnt see anything wrong, she thinks she’s just being helpful, n she feels like she still owes this man smth anyway 😔

18 moons- moon continues visiting Slash every few days, finding time between patrols or in the mornings or at around sunset when not much is going on. she prefers to go when her friends are all out on patrols in order to avoid having to dodge their questions, but sometimes she does have to make up an excuse as to where she’s going. she doesn’t Ike lying, so she’ll just tell them that she’d rather go off on a walk by herself, which is technically still the truth. she still feels guilty about it, although Slash convinces her to keep it up by being like “well think about ur friend from before, do u think she’d approve of this?? yeah no me neither”. speaking of said friend, leafshine was rather skeptical, bc moonmist had never rlly done all this before and now suddenly she’s being weird about it. so she goes sniffing around the outer border where she’s been going, and happens to catch moon as she comes to visit. Moonmist does manage to persuade her to drop it, though, and while she’s not happy about it, Leafshine begrudgingly decides to just trust her friend’s judgment and let her have her secrets. When Moon tells Slash about the incident, he actually gets very interested. He suddenly sees a benefit to having her around; she can throw the Clan cats off his trail, and that means he’ll be able to get away more easily with hunting the better prey from their territory. And while she doesn’t exactly know why, he suddenly starts flirting back with her whenever she gets awkward. It makes her rather excited.

19 moons- Moon starts visiting Slash more regularly. He’s mostly healed from his injury now, and she sometimes comes with him on hunts and watches him do his stretches and exercises to keep himself in fighting shape. He shows her some of his hunting methods and how he chases badgers and the like away from their kills, and while she finds it somewhat brutal, she does admire his tenacity. They continue flirting and a couple of weeks into the moon, they more or less cross the line into formally courting. They aren’t officially “mates”, but Moon starts getting much more touchy-feely and Slash starts getting excessive with the flattery. They start spending nights together sometimes. Moon is absolutely smitten and delighted to have seemingly found love while Slash is just pleased to have someone who can get him out of trouble with the Clan cats when he needs it. He starts taking their prey behind Moonmist’s back and all that jazz, and sure enough, when patrols find his scent across the outer border, Moon is quick to cover for him. It is what it is.

20 moons- Moonmist comes to visit Slash one time and finds him viciously fighting with a small child. She’s a little bit mortified, as the poor kid can’t be older than six moons and already looks scarred up enough, and she jumps in between them- only for said kid to tear a decently deep gash into the skin near her chest. So that’s also alarming. But regardless, Moon de-escalates the situation and convinces Slash to settle down and brings the child back to OrC to have her various scratches looked at (as well as her own). Whereupon said child immediately proceeds to try and fight Swallowpaw. This child ends up being Myrtlepaw. In hindsight this was a terrible decision on Moonmist’s part. That doesn’t stop her from trying to befriend Myrtlepaw, though, because she decides that she needs it. Myrtle is pretty weird and messed up, but moon rlly believes that there’s good in her somewhere. There was good in Slash despite his rough exterior, wasn’t there??? Oh yeah, speaking of Slash. The next time she sees him, she chides him for fighting a little kid and he is very dismissive abt it. he justifies by saying she’d started it and he’d try to hurt *anyone* who wanted to kick him out of his den. when moon still isn’t convinced, he pulls the “it’s bc I don’t want to be separated from you” card and kinda guilts her into letting it slide. he’s nasty like that. Oh, and also, she accidentally mentions him to Thornstep and Wrensong one time during a visit. She tries to avoid saying any more about him, but her brother presses her, and she eventually caves and tells them everything that’s gone on so far. Thorn immediately picks up on the undertones and is like “no. leave him. now” but Moon is like “nooooo 💘” so oh well L thornstep. she is a little concerned that he might tell leafshine and get Her to make her break up w him tho, or worse yet try and find Slash himself, so she goes to wrensong and is like “hey fren pls make ur husband not ruin my love life k ty <3” and fortunately for her (or maybe unfortunately), wren is successfully able to convince thorn to back off. yay, i guess. In other news, Lionspark’s pregnant mate Ravenpool dies. Moonmist is sad about that and tries to be supportive.

21 moons- Shortly into the moon, Myrtlepaw claws another apprentice, Peonypaw, across the throat. It’s a shallow cut, but it was still a pretty serious incident. Moonmist has a talk with her about it that really doesn’t amount to much, but A for effort ig. Moon also starts getting some morning sickness at around that same time, and when she has it checked out in the medicine den, she’s shocked to find out that she’s pregnant. Wee. She’s a little bit scared, actually, as much as she’d daydreamed before about being a mother. She hadn’t expected it to happen so soon, and in truth, she’d… never really imagined having a family with Slash. Besides, she isn’t sure how he’ll take it, and she knows she’ll have no good explanation for her Clanmates once it becomes obvious that she’s expecting. So that same day, she goes out to see Slash. She tells him that she is expecting his kits. And he… doesn’t really have as strong of a reaction as Moon was expecting him to. He seems startled, a little bit unhappy, but when Moonmist asks him once again to *please* join her in OrchidClan, not just for her anymore but for their kits, he actually says that he’ll think about it overnight and give her an answer the following day. Moonmist is elated and incredibly relieved. Even if he ultimately chooses against it, she’s grateful to him for even agreeing to consider it (that’s how ugly their power imbalance was). But in any case, she leaves and comes back the next day as agreed, and he’s… gone. Without a trace. Moon figures that he’s gone off hunting, so she waits a while, but he doesn’t come back. That’s worrisome. So she looks for him around the nearby territory. Again, nothing. Not even a scent trail. It’s as if he’d just left. So Moonmist is a little bit concerned. For the next two weeks, she repeats that same process, and soon she just has to accept that he’d disappeared. He’d ditched her. It’s hard for her to grapple with, but thinking back, she knew somewhere in her heart that he’d never really cared for her the same way she did for him. He hadn’t wanted to deal with kits, and because she’d outlived her use, he’d moved on. She has a lot of trouble accepting that, but once other cats in the Clan begin noticing her symptoms of pregnancy, she eventually comes clean to her friends and to her Clanmates about Slash and all that had transpired between them. Leafshine is a little bit upset with her for falling for it and hiding it from everyone for so long, but she really can’t be too mad when Moon has clearly already learned her lesson. And so Moonmist moves into the nursery— and the tragedy doesn’t end there. Only a few days later, the older queen Mosseye dies giving birth to her kits: Firekit, Smokykit, & Smallkit. The three little toms are left orphaned, and Moonmist feels horrible for them. In her state of heartbreak, she really does need something to focus on and lift her spirits up- and so she agrees to nurse and look after the kits. While she is a bit worried now that something could go wrong with her own kitting, she does sincerely come to love Mosseye’s sons. They came into her care during a time when she really needed something to channel her emotions into. Between her three new foster kits and her friends and family to fall back on, she starts to think that maybe she’ll be okay after all.

22 moons- it’s pretty much just a moon of healing for Moonmist. She settles into her position as queen and gets used to caring for kits. She is the only one in the nursery now, but she gets plenty of help from her Clanmates and from cats like Maroontrance and Fallowfleck. Firekit, Smokykit, and Smallkit never had flowernames, as they were named after immediate family members upon their kin’s request. Moonmist thinks that it’s very sweet and is always happy to see their aunt Saffronsplash or uncle Adderchaser come in to visit. She starts thinking about potential names for her own litter, as well, but it hurts to consider when she takes into account that there will be no father in the picture. She remembered how hard it was for her and Thornstep, losing their own dad so early, and it feels awful to her that her own kits will have to experience something similar. She does have a talk with Fallowfleck about it, though, and she acknowledges that things will surely turn out alright. About midway into the moon, a former MarshClan cat turned loner rejoins the Clans and settles into OrchidClan, bringing with him a trio of four moon-old kits: Applekit, Foxkit, and Redkit. Being the only queen, it becomes Moonmist’s rather unexpected responsibility to look after them, too. She isn’t unhappy about it, but it is quite a lot. On the bright side, the kits’ father Scorchstripe more or less moves into the nursery as well, so she isn’t expected to do all of the work. Scorchstripe seems like a pretty sad and tired cat, and Moonmist can see a bit of her own heartache in him. She is very nice to him, although he doesn’t really reach out to anyone at all. Moonmist is quite fond of his kits, though. They’re energetic and hyperactive, and while they do sometimes disturb the younger ones, she finds their dynamic natures to be endearing. Applekit is a sweetheart, Redkit has a fiery passion to her, and Foxkit is always bursting with questions and poking his nose into places he shouldn’t be. She appreciated having the nursery livened up a little bit; it had been getting somewhat lonely with her as the only resident. And during the last week of the moon, she received even more good news: during one of Thornstep and Wrensong’s visits, they announced that Wrensong was pregnant as well. Both mollies were thrilled to be having kits so close in age, and they spent a good few hours gushing about their upcoming families. It was really very sweet.

23 moons- A few days into the next moon, Scorchstripe began having chest pains. Moonmist encouraged him to go to the medicine cat, but he kept refusing until she eventually pulled Redkit aside and asked her to fetch Swallowfrost for him. He got looked over, but the consensus was that there really was nothing much that could be done. He was having heart stutters and there was no cure for that. His kits were very nervous about it, but Moonmist couldn’t say much to reassure them without giving false hope. Sure enough, the following week, Scorchstripe died in a sudden heart attack early one morning. He had felt it coming on and slunk out of the camp first, not wanting his kits to have to see it, and was found by the dawn patrol. Applekit, Redkit, and Foxkit were all devastated, and Moonmist did what she could. She was formally in charge of them as well, now, and she did her best to be as consoling as possible. Redkit was painfully disinclined to accept her sympathy, Foxkit asked her some difficult questions, and it was rough to see Applekit’s spirits so dampened, but to the best of her ability, she taught them how to grieve. On the bright side, however, Mosseye’s kits were becoming old enough to start learning how to walk and talk. Their eyes had all opened and their ears had unfolded and their personalities were shining through. Firekit was an adventurous and entertaining kit, Smokykit was a loud little clutz, and Smallkit was shyer and more affectionate than his brothers. Moonmist was more touched than she would have imagined by seeing them start to grow up. In a similar vein, as her pregnancy progressed, Swallowfrost was able to determine that she was likely carrying three kits. For the first time since Slash had left, Moonmist really felt like she was looking forward to something. It was a wonderful feeling. She shared the new information with Wrensong and Thornstep the next time she saw them, and they all brainstormed possible names and flowernames together. Moonmist’s three favorites were actually two of Thorn’s suggestions, Daisykit and Hydrangeakit, and one of Wrensong’s: Gardeniakit. For flowernames, at least; Moonmist stood by the idea that she would think of real names for her kits only after she had met them.

24 moons- Applepaw, Foxpaw, and Redpaw were all made into apprentices at the mark of their sixth moon. Moonmist could tell that they were saddened by the absence of their father, but she tried her hardest to fill that hole. She cheered the loudest at their ceremony and congratulated each of them personally. She was especially happy to see that Applepaw’s mentor was Leafshine, and that Foxpaw seemed to click straight away with Myrtlepaw. It was an odd friendship, she would admit, but she was glad to see it. She was sure that it would be good for both of them. After the three of them moved out of he nursery, Moonmist was left with Firekit, Smokykit, and Smallkit. At three moons old now, they were used to their legs and able to communicate freely, and Moonmist spent most of her time ensuring that they did not play too rough or bother too many of the warriors. She was not the only queen for long, though— roughly a week after Scorchstripe’s kits became apprentices, she was joined by another pregnant queen named Cornflower. Cornflower was friends with Lionspark, and so Moonmist got to see a bit more of him again. They hadn’t spoken much since Ravenpool had died, but Moonmist was happy to get back onto speaking terms. As for her own kits, she could feel them starting to kick more and more by the day. She would still talk regularly with Maroontrance, Leafshine, and Fallowfleck about her expectations, and with Thornstep and Wrensong through messengers when not in person. But that positive anticipation was not to last long, because things once again took a turn for the worse about a week before her kits were due. They started to come early. Night had only just fallen when she felt the first few pains of labor. She spent the rest of that night in the medicine den while Cornflower looked after Mosseye’s kits, and it was not a fun time. It was *very* long, it was *incredibly* painful, and she honestly would have been surprised if she didn’t wake up half the camp with her cries, even around the sticks she was given to bite on. Something was clearly wrong. The first kit was a breach. It was born backwards, and it was stuck until sunrise. It wasn’t breathing when it finally came out, and neither were the two that came after it. Quick action from Swallowfrost revived the first kit, rubbing its blood back into circulation, but the second and thirdborn were not so lucky. It was almost another hour until Moonmist had even come back to her senses enough to really comprehend what had happened. After that, it was another two before she could find the breath to speak around her tears. During that time, her surviving daughter had been handed off to Cornflower for milk. At some point during the chaos, the messenger had brought Thornstep over from HorizonClan, and he helped her give flowernames to her two daughters that had been stillborn: Hydrangeakit for the calico, and Gardeniakit for the one that looked like her. They were buried that afternoon beside the Lilac Pool. Moonmist couldn’t understand it; just the previous morning, everything had been *fine.* it had all been okay. why weren’t things okay? She wasn’t sure how long she spent hunched over their graves before Fallowfleck convinced her to return to camp and see her living kit. She entered the nursery feeling wrong. Cornflower showed her the kit, though, and Moonmist wanted to cry all over again. She might have, if she hadn’t already dried herself out. It was all the prompting she needed, really. She curled herself around her daughter and groomed her till she tried to squirm away. She named her Daisykit. She had a spot of yellow against the white around her nose, after all. And she had always liked that name.

25 moons- The remainder of the last moon were a haze. Moonmist cared religiously for Daisykit while Cornflower took over more of the responsibilities in watching over Firekit, Smokykit, and Smallkit. She only needed to for around a week, though, before their uncle Adderchaser took all three of them with him to OasisClan. It honestly hurt. Moonmist knew that they were not gone— that they were happy, that they were safe and with family— but it still felt to her as though she were losing three more kits. Scorchstripe’s kits would still visit, and she had Daisykit to focus on, but it was far from being the same. Every day, Moonmist would still set aside some time to sit by the Lilac Pool and let her sorrow spill out. She wondered if it was karma, if her kits had died as a result of her naivety and innocence, if her stubborn refusal to acknowledge her own wrongs had been ended their lives before they could begin. She apologized to them and she apologized to StarClan, just in case. She promised she’d be better for Daisykit. She promised she’d be better. But in lighter news, Mistrunner came to her one day with the announcement of the birth of her nephew Hootkit. Wrensong had finished kitting, and it had all gone smoothly and without a hitch. Moonmist left Daisykit in the care of Cornflower for a day and went to go visit her brother and his son. It was a good time and it brightened her up a bit. Hootkit was very cute, and Moonmist hoped that he and Daisykit would become good friends once they were older.

26 moons- Applepaw leaves OrchidClan. Bye, Applepaw. Also, Myrtlepelt becomes a warrior. Moonmist suspects that Myrtlepelt may have had something to do with Applepaw bailing, but when she tries to ask about it, it only leads to yelling, so she backs off. She also tries to give Daisykit the true name of Cottonkit, but Daisykit insists on keeping her name and Moon is like “yk what sure” pfft. She does visit her other daughters at the Lilac Pool tho and renames them Lightkit & Mistykit. Moon starts bringing Daisy with her when she goes to visit ThornWren & company in HC. Also, after finding out abt Maroontrance’s new husband she pulls her aside n is like “bestie be careful”

27 moons- Petalkit appears (2 moons old) and refuses to have a flowername. Moonmist looks after her, too. Ravenkit, Flykit, & Jagkit are born. Way over in HorizonClan now, Firepaw, Smokypaw, and Smallpaw become apprentices (Moon probably visits for the ceremony). There is also a HC hike that Moonmist *does* go to. She doesn’t participate in the hike, but she chills in HC the day before just to see the FlameMoss kids again and congratulate them and also to catch up with ThornWren. She trusts Cornflower and some of the elders to look after Daisykit and Petalkit while she’s away. ThornWren also start regularly bringing Hootkit over to visit and play around along with their adopted daughter Junekit.

28 moons- Lilykit probably shows up sometime around now. Idk. She’d be one moon old at this point. But in other news, Shimmerflight moves into the nursery! Yay for more company.

29 moons- the borders close. Moonmist misses her brother and his family and Apple & the FlameMoss kits. Half of HorizonClan, pretty much. Sadness.

30 moons- Daisypaw becomes an appie. Moon is happy that Leafshine is her mentor. Her other bestie Maroontrance moves into the nursery as well, so Moon is v happy for her company! Also, Foxpounce & Redfire become warriors! (And also Appleshine but the borders are closed so she can’t see her 😔)

31 moons- Petalpaw also becomes an appie. Also, Redkit & Snowkit are born to Shimmerflight. Oh, and plague time.

32 moons- speaking of plague, Cornflower & Jagkit die. Moon watches over Flykit & Ravenkit. They have some cute moments and she feels rlly bad for Lionspark and decides to be his friend bc he should have more friends.

33 moons- Lilypaw, Flypaw, & Ravenpaw become appies. Also, somewhere out there, Firecloud, Smokystep, and Smallmoss are now warriors. Moonmist stays in the nursery to help Shimmerflight w/ Redkit & Snowkit since Flowerstep doesn’t seem interested, and *also* to help Maroontrance with her new daughter Wisteriakit!!! But for now she is technically free of kits!

34 moons- sike. The fiasco with Redkit’s family happens; Snowkit and Shimmerflight die and Flowerstep is exiled and suddenly she is in charge of him, too. Oh, and Myrtlepelt gets exiled for murder, too. That also happens. Two exiles in the same moon. Pretty wild. Moonmist thinks it’s rather odd that Leafshine did it and not Lavenderstar, and this is when Leaf approaches her and requests that she joins her rebellion. Moonmist politely declines the offer, but wishes her the best of luck anyways pfft. In any case, Moon feels terrible for Redkit and also for Foxpounce. She tries to reach out to him but he kind of pushes back against her.

35 moons- nothing interesting, just Redkit being a problem child. Oh, and Leafshine gets the plague. So that’s worrisome.

36 moons- Badgerkit and Minkkit appear! They’re called Hyacinthkit and Dahliakit for the time being. Also, Daisyblossom becomes a warrior! And immediately proceeds to become a messenger because Skipflip dies! So does Leafshine’s brother over in MarshClan, actually. It’s concerning.

37 moons- Redpaw becomes an appie. And Petalfrost becomes a warrior! And the plague ends! Leafshine doesn’t die! Yay! Moonmist thinks that’s all fun and great. She’s also intrigued by the travelers and (if she knows they’re connected) she definitely wants to ask cedarpoppy about them when she gets the chance. she also gets to see her family in HC again, which is pretty great. she meets ThornWren’s second litter- or 2/3rds of it, anyway, since Briarpaw had died of plague as well as Junepaw. oh well.

38 moons- the rebellion happens! But Redpaw leaves the Clans. Sadge. Moonmist is sad about this. She confronts Leafstar abt kind of using him as a tool but then switches gears midway through to also be like “half of ur loved ones *did* just die tho so. yk just take it easy”. it was a mom moment tbh

39 moons- Aloekit appears! Moonmist is kind of horrified to hear about what Myrtlepelt’s been doing for the past few moons. Also, Lilysmoke, Flyspark, & Ravenflower become warriors! There is also a HC hike that Moonmist does not go on! She also thinks it’s very cute and sweet that petalfrost has a husband pff. Oh, and Wisteriapaw becomes an apprentice!!!

40 moons- rogue war announcement. This is not great. Moonmist learns of it secondhand and decides that whatever happens will happen and she will fight to defend her kids.

41 moons- Aloepaw becomes Swallowfrost’s apprentice! Moonmist is supportive of this. She feels sorry that Minkkit can’t get the role, though, so she encourages her to help the meddies out in their den whenever possible.

she has so many kids im crying

### Trivia

- Not to be confused with Moon, Wide Eyed Moon from Rillwing’s backstory, or Moonface from Songstar’s backstory.

- Her voiceclaim is Kala from Tarzan (1999).

- This’ll be added to her actual bio later, but Moonmist’s flowername was Magnoliakit and Thornstep’s was Gladioluskit. She also thinks that Thornstep’s warrior name is the most unfortunate thing to ever happen. She thought he was joking when he first told it to her.

- Mistykit’s name had been Fallowfleck’s suggestion, half as an homage to Moonmist herself since Mistykit had looked the most like her.

- Moonmist has seventeen kids. What the heck. How does she somehow have more kids than in the original despite the fact that we deleted half of her original kids???? This is clearly a sign. Of what, I don’t know. But a sign nonetheless.

- In the past 18 moons, this woman has had only one (1) moon where she was not required to be in the nursery bc she was looking after a kit or two or three. Ain’t that just the wildest thing.

- No, really. Imagine being one of her friends from a gathering or smth and she just vanishes off the face of the earth for close to like 2 years and you’re like “oh no is she okay?? is she dead???” but no. she just became the ultimate mother and Could Not Leave

-Moonmist’s favorite color is a very pale shade of yellow. She thinks it’s soothing and easy to look at. It makes her think of her brother and Slash and Lionspark and her daughter’s eyes.

-On that note, she doesn’t resent Slash at all. She just gets a little wistful when she thinks of him, and she wishes she could have provided what he needed.

-Her favorite flowers are carnations. She likes the yellow ones a lot, of course, but she also really loves the pink ones. She’s also quite fond of daisies and magnolias. Her nest in the nursery (and her fur, let’s be honest) is always decorated with an insane amount of flowers, most of which were gifted to her at some point by her army of kids.

-Her love language is quality time.

-Moonmist’s favorite prey is marsh rabbit. Surprisingly, she doesn’t mind fish, either. She’s not overly fond of squirrels, though. They have too much fur for her. She doesn’t like chewing through a lot of fur.

-She’s also unexpectedly good at crafting things with sap whenever she visits Thornstep’s family in HorizonClan. Well, he visits her in OrchidClan more often. He’ll bring her some materials and she’ll make little gifts for him to bring back to his kits, assuming they haven’t come with him. If they have, then they all make stuff together as a bonding activity. I’ll add this to her bio at some point pfft

-She cannot swim. Drop her in water and she will simply just sink. She tried to learn as an apprentice and it didn’t really go well. This will also be added to her bio.

-However, she is semi-decent at climbing trees! I mean, she’s by no means *good* at it, but she could do it if she had to. Physical exertion in general is not exactly her favorite pastime, though.

-Speaking of which, Moonmist is painfully average when it comes to fighting or battle moves. She is very peaceful and hates violence for the most part. She would fight ferociously to defend her kits (or anyone she considers to be her kit), though. She’s much better at hunting, though still within the average range.

-In the original ABW, Moonmist was a member of the rebellion. In this version, she was not.
