Unfinished Sketch: https://imgur.com/a/v1AjiAF

**Ashfall** is a lean, moderately tall gray tom with soft medium length fur. His eyes are blue like his mother's though not quite as dazzling, and his left ear is torn. The inside of Ashfall's ears and nose are both the same color: a dark, unsaturated pink. Being mostly average and with his one-color pelt—not to mention that it's gray—he is noted to look a bit "plain and dull" compared to other cats. However, there are a few cats who would still consider him handsome.

## Personality

**Ashfall's** personality type is INFJ-T, Advocate. 88% Introverted, 51% Intuitive, 71% Feeling, 79% Judging, 60% Turbulent.

#### Kit

**Ashkit** was curious and naive. He liked to learn new things, and would ask Thicketfur about events that would happen in a Clan: going to gatherings, earning new names, and so on. Ashkit was wary of cats he hadn't already formally met. He didn't make the effort to talk to strangers, most likely because having Thicketfur to talk to was enough for him. Ashkit was a bit callow—as kits should be—being mostly optimistic and not realizing the downfalls to living in a Clan.

#### Apprentice

**Ashpaw** was very shy. He was never one to socialize with the other Clan cats due to his time spent being ignored by Howl. He struggled with social situations being too shy to speak up or initiate conversation.

#### Warrior (13 - 34 moons)

**Ashfall** was still shy and unconfident. It was only after he met Leafshine when he began to look forward to the days that would come. He complimented her a lot which unintentionally may have seemed like flirting, but truly, everything he said to her was all from his heart. When they had kits together, Ashfall loved them very much, and he was always willing to spend time with them. Being happier then, he felt more able to talk to other cats and would even stay in conversations from beginning to end. His love for his family made him go to great lengths—even if it was foolish—like leaving the Clan to go search for his missing loved one. It was a strength as well as a weakness for him. He stressed out a lot whenever there were disputes between his family members and would always try his best to sort things out, though he would panic from anxiety more often than not and end up blaming himself afterwards.

As time continued on, Ashfall suffered the deaths of two of his kits. He had held onto them so tightly that it took as long as a moon for him to go back to his normal state, where he finally convinced himself to live and learn—or so he thought.

#### Senior Warrior (35 - 62 moons)

**Ashfall** became aloof once again and didn't speak to strangers much unless it was polite to. If one ever did get to know him, however, he would be seen as thoughtful and trustworthy. The only cats he really talked to were his remaining family, whom he cared for very dearly. He believed that kin was more important than the warrior code—in other words, the loyalty to one's Clan. Ashfall never wholeheartedly agreed to the Clan's lifestyles and didn't understand why cats would be willing to attack others simply for land. The only real reason he stayed in ThunderClan was because of his family. He was still, either way, a hard-working tom who held a strong belief in StarClan.

Ashfall had an active conscience and tried to think before doing, but when he was stressed or in an exceptionally bad mood, he would suddenly lash out. In the end, though, he always felt guilty, and he was sincere in his apologizes.

Whenever he was attacked by another cat, he never fought back, unless for only two reasons: if it was necessary for self-defense, or if it was to protect someone he cared for.

Later, Ashfall's two other kits perished, as well as his only friend, Ambersong. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Unlike before where he was able to tell himself to grow from these experiences, he instead isolated himself. He toughened and seemed resentful, holding in all his bottled emotions. Ashfall began to stop communicating with Leafshine.

At the last minute before Ashfall's death, he realized his mistake in being uncontent with his life and envying others. He finally died in peace.

## Skills and Weaknesses

**(+)** **Ashfall** was a great hunter due to his lean build and gentle pawsteps. He was also caring and fatherly, which was one of the more charming aspects of him.

**(±)** Due to his love for his family, **Ashfall** was very biased in opinions and sometimes not very logical. But, it only showed how much he cared for his kin. He had a soft spot for kits, and they would sometimes distract him for better or for worse.

**(−)** After an incident in Birch Grove, ThunderClan territory, **Ashfall** had a fear of snakes and stopped hunting in the area for some time. However, he was later able to master that fear and get over it.

**Ashfall's** other skills and weaknesses can be found in his personality section.

## Life

**Ashfall** was created as a 14-moon-old warrior, approximately on September 11th, 2019, by @pollypuffin on Scratch.

### Kithood

*(written by @AshnosetheMute on Scratch)*

Ash's mother, Phoebe, was a kittypet who had never left the house before. One day, she met a rogue adventurer, Howl, and they instantly fell in love. Howl would visit every day to try and convince her to leave and join him on his adventures.

On Howl's last visit before he left to continue his journey, the window had been left open, and Phoebe finally decided to go with him.

Howl traveled for moons exploring and showing the world to the former naive kittypet. The two soon became mates, but their happiness didn't last forever when Phoebe fell sick.

When it was found Phoebe was pregnant, Howl was devastated. He knew she couldn't survive in the condition she was in, but Phoebe promised him she would be fine.

Soon, young Ash was born. A single kit barely alive, but somehow he pulled through.

Phoebe's condition slowly worsened as her strength depleted with the new hungry mouth to feed. Howl struggled day after day to provide for her, but inside he knew she had no chance of survival.

Only two days after Ash was old enough to eat prey, Phoebe passed away. Howl felt like his mate was killed by Ash, and he wanted nothing to do with his son.

Howl continued traveling feeling empty without his mate by his side, but now with little Ash following behind him. Ash had to learn hunting quick as Howl wasn't too keen on feeding the 2-moon-old kit. Even with Howl ignoring Ash, the kit was determined to stay by his side.

Ash and his father traveled for a few moons before they entered into Clan territory, and was almost immediately attacked by a patrol. Howl knew he was outmatched and ran. When 5-moon-old Ash tried to follow, he tripped, and was left for dead by his father. The patrol chasing them comforted the crying kit and decided to take him in, revealing themselves as cats of ThunderClan. One of these cats was a warrior named Thicketfur, who taught him the ways of the Clan.

Ash, now named Ashkit, was happy in ThunderClan. He never had to struggle to get a meal by himself or stumble after his father on sore paws. But even with his new home and Thicketfur caring for him, Ashkit still wanted to find his father one day.

### Apprenticeship

*(written by @AshnosetheMute on Scratch)*

Due to Thicketfur's Clan training and Ashkit's practice with hunting and fighting, he was made an apprentice at the age of 6 moons. With his strong connection with Thicketfur, she was given to him as his mentor.

Ashpaw spent his apprenticeship friendless due to his lack of communication with his father, leading him to have trouble speaking. He only ever talked to his mentor, Thicketfur. Thicketfur trained Ashpaw well in warrior skills, and in their spare time they would sit alone together and simply talk about whatever they wanted to. They were best of friends and never seemed to fight about anything.

Every once and a while, Ashpaw would stray slightly outside of the territory to search for any signs of Howl. He didn't want to leave and get lost from the Clan, so he never strayed far.

Soon Ashpaw was 12 moons old.

One day, Ashpaw went a bit farther then he normally did and caught the familiar scent he had followed for moons as a kit. He sensed that Howl was nearby, but also a fox. Ashpaw was quick to follow the scent, and though he was scared, his desperation to find his father kept him going.

Ashpaw entered a stony clearing, stunned as he saw his father in battle against a huge fox. He was quick to spring into action once he saw that his father was losing battle. Ashpaw fought the fox back and placed himself between it and his badly injured father. The fox slowly circled him before leaping, only managing to snag Ashpaw's ear as he dodged aside, tearing a nick in it. The fox lunged again, but this time Howl knocked it aside breathlessly. He and Ashpaw formed a plan as they knew they couldn't take on the fox in a fair battle. The river beside them had expanded with the rain falling heavily from the sky—Ashpaw would bait the fox and knock it into the water.

The fox recovered from it's attack from Howl, and the first thing it saw was Ashpaw. It sprang at him and grabbed Ashpaw's leg in i's teeth instead of falling into the river as planned. But suddenly, Howl tackled the fox, and they both tumbled into the water where they were rushed away into the sharp rapids.

Ashpaw was devastated, but after a night of searching, he returned to ThunderClan having never found the bodies. His wounds were treated by the medicine cat leaving the nick in his ear.

One moon later, Ashpaw was still distraught when a message came to the Clans. A fire had broken out in the forest during a Gathering. The cats fled as the flames spread, and Thicketfur went missing. Ashpaw went back to the burning territory to find her dead body lying in their normal chatting spot. He rushed forward to check on her, but was stopped by a flaming branch almost hitting him. He was forced to leave his mentor and he escaped with the rest of the Clan into No Clan's Land.

### Adult Life

After the fire, Ashpaw is given the name Ashfall, and he spends many days depressed about his father's and mentor's untimely ends.

Two moons since The Great Journey, Ashfall finally decides to be a bit more open.

Ashfall walks into camp carrying a large squirrel. Knowing that the queens and kits have eaten, he hesitantly decides to share his catch with someone, and spots Leafshine near the warriors' den. He shyly walks over and asks if she would like to share with him. To his surprise, Leafshine happily agrees.

After taking a bite, Leafshine compliments Ashfall on his catch. Ashfall, embarrassed, tells her that it was nothing, but the she-cat continues to praise him in telling him that he's a great hunter. The two finish eating and end up going hunting together.

They don't hunt for long, however, when Ashfall catches an unusual scent leading back to camp. He and Leafshine conclude that it's a rogue's scent, and they immediately return. They are just in time to see Snake attacking Creekwillow and Burnstripe in the medicine den. Duskpaw later comes along. Snake takes flight while Leafshine tends to Creekwillow's wounds, and Leafshine and Ashfall then chase after Snake. Once they catch up, Snake angrily tells them how ThunderClan had turned him away in the past. Leafshine is able to calm down Snake and tells him that perhaps he could join now. Fortunately, a fight doesn't break out between the three.

Snake is later escorted to Sunstar, and Sunstar accepts him into the Clan. Snake is then renamed Snakestorm.

The next day, Ashfall walks into the warriors' den. He quietly asks if Leafshine is there, and says that Sunstar wanted him to go on patrol with her. Leafshine is there and brightens at the fact, and they both leave camp. While patrolling, Ashfall asks if she heard that Burnstripe recently had her kits. Leafshine cheerfully replies that she has. They both tell each other that they would like to become parents someday—and both quite embarrassingly, too.

A snake slithers out from under some rocks. Ashfall sees it about to bite Leafshine and shields her, resulting in the snake biting his leg in return. They are able to kill the snake

**(continue)**

(Lots of stuff happened in between here, they don't become mates until 16 or 17 moons... pretty sure.)

When Ashfall comes back from a patrol, he lies down in the middle of camp feeling drained. Leafshine bounds over to him excitedly and reveals she's expecting his kits. Ashfall first thinks it's a joke but when he realizes it isn't, he is ecstatic about it. Leafshine lies down next to him and they begin to discuss future names for their kits.

Stressing out, talking with Snakestorm

Helping Cloveheart & Warrenhollow fight an adder (not sure where this goes in the timeline-- before he became a father)

At approximately 19 moons, Ashfall is with Leafshine when bores his four kits. They name them Sagekit, Featherkit, Emberkit, and Berrykit.

Featherpaw (https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/3861793/comments/#comments-68372017)

Ashfall notices Featherpaw sitting near the medicine den. Realizing how long it's been since they've talked, his gaze saddens, and he walks over to her. He sits down, resting his tail on her shoulder, and starts off with a simple "hey". Ashfall is touched when Featherpaw embraces him, and they both cry together. **(continue)**

Sageleaf (https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/3861793/comments/#comments-69738179)

Ashfall is present at Featherpaw's warrior ceremony, where she is given the name Feathermist. He is devastated to see her in low spirits, knowing that she had wanted to be a medicine cat. However, he is unaware of the fact that she never put any effort into working to become a warrior.

Ashfall is in the warriors' den deep in thought when he hears someone yowling. He rushes outside to find Daypaw screaming for no reason whatsoever, much to Ashfall's annoyance.

Moons later,

Ashfall wakes up in the warriors' den at dawn. He walks outside but stops short in the clearing when he feels a sudden pain in his chest. Beeflight rushes over and asks if he's okay, and Ashfall collapses, hissing in pain. Leafshine also comes over to comfort her mate. Ashfall is sent to the medicine den.

Ashfall is lying next to the medicine den, and Beechberry walks over to him. They start with small talk before the she-cat reveals she's expecting Beeflight's kits. Ashfall is shocked but happy for them.

Ashfall's adopted daughter, Havenwhisper, dies from injuries from a fox.

Ashfall is outside of the medicine den and Tigerspark, who is close by in the den, says hello. Ashfall looks over his shoulder and says the same.

Ashfall begins to recover from his chest infection.

Ashfall is seen lying near the medicine den, looking as if he had lost the will to live. Beeflight walks over to him with a mouse asking if he's hungry, and Ashfall politely declines. They first ask each other how they are. Ashfall says he's fine, though he seems rather sad. Beeflight's response is that lots has been happening, and Ashfall, concerned, tells him to not stress out too much.

Ashfall is overwhelmed with grief when he finds out his daughter, Feathermist, is dead. Within a moon, his only friend, Ambersong, also passes away due to injuries from a fox.

The war between ShadowClan and ThunderClan arrives. Ashfall is only mildly injured, and he soon recovers.

ShadowClan drives out ThunderClan into No Clan's Land. ThunderClan later fights again in an attempt to return to their original camp, and they succeed in doing so.

Ashfall's only daughter left, Sageleaf, passes away, and he goes into a fit of rage and sorrow, isolating himself almost completely.

The day was covered with an overcast, and Ashfall was sitting in the warriors' den. He couldn't take this anymore—seeing the cats outside act like everything was normal. Seeing them smiling and laughing, loving. What about him? What had he done to deserve this? Almost all of his family had died. He had no one to talk to anymore. What was the purpose, the purpose of loving? What was the point if, in the end, everyone that you love ultimately dies? Ashfall wanted to run away from all of this. He stood up and exited the warriors' den, his head down, his muscles feeling cramped as he walked. Ashfall, unnoticed by anyone, left camp. ThunderClan no longer felt like his home. But, where could he go now?

Ashfall had a distant look in his eyes. He wandered aimlessly in the territory, simply straying further and further. Where was his destination, exactly? He didn't know. He thought he had lost all his hope, all his love for anyone at all.

Ashfall was now at the Twolegplace—he had walked that far. He looked up and saw as the sun finally revealed itself, the rays shining towards the highest peaks of the mountains to down on the earth, where he was standing. How beautiful the day could have been.

Ashfall had no idea what he was going to do next. Should he return to the Clan? Should he run away? Ashfall stared at the ground. In his eyes was anger, envy, frustration, sadness.

All of a sudden, he heard a shout—a shout from a twoleg. Ashfall turned and saw three of them, tall but still with traces of youth. This had made Ashfall come to his senses. Ashfall began taking steps back, his fur bristling and his ears flattened.

\*\*\*

Ashfall was lying next to the twoleg house, breathing so quietly it was almost impossible to tell that he was still alive. The twolegs had kicked and threw rocks and pieces of brick at him, until finally they grew tired of him and ran away. It had caused a huge racket—there was so much yelling. Ashfall was fortunate that he hadn't died immediately. But there were scraps of his gray fur everywhere around him, and he was so battered that he could hardly even see. The grass beneath him had a reddish hue. *This is the end*, he thought. And it was only now when he realized, on the brink of death, that he wasn't happy.

What had he been doing during the last moons of his life? He spent them living life without knowing, taking everything for granted. Even today, he was going to do the same thing, the same thing that he would have done every day. Continue isolating himself. But now, it only took a minute for him to realize what he had been doing all wrong.

Ashfall still laid here, gasping for air and his eyes closed, as certain cats came to his mind.

*Fallowspark*. Perhaps Ashfall had not spent as much time with her, and he regretted that. She was a thoughtful and clever she-cat, and he wished the best for her.

*Beeflight.* He had been Ashfall's adopted son, and Ashfall loved him. He wished he could have encouraged him more, and to be happy for him when he saw he was making new friends. Ashfall wished he hadn't resented him so much towards the end of his life.

*Leafshine.* The she-cat he had loved so much. His mate, whom he realized, he still loved, and always would. She had been so kind to him. Ashfall regretted that he had been avoiding her, not wanting to see her face ever again in fear that she would soon die, just like all the others, and that he would regret having loved her too much. But now he saw that it was worth it. Loving her, and treasuring her. If there was no pain, how would one know how to feel happiness? Ashfall would have gave anything, now, to see her one more time. And to tell her those three words.

*Sageleaf. Feathermist. Emberpaw. Berrypaw*. He would be joining them now, his precious sons and daughters.

Ashfall managed to open his eyes one last time to look around. And he saw the world differently. He saw the bright, green grass which covered the earth. The purple wildflowers swaying in the breeze, and the blazing sun which shone down upon them. He shouldn't have taken any of this for granted.

Sadly, it was too late now. As Ashfall could feel himself becoming more tired, he closed his eyes. A few seconds later, his body was lifeless, and his spirit went into StarClan. But he had died with hope in his heart, and love.

## Relationships

Family Tree: https://imgur.com/a/WS8kjIk

**Phoebe - She-Cat | Rogue | Mother | Deceased** ***[NPC]***

Description: Phoebe is a slender black she-cat with short, sleek fur and thin limbs. She has a white underbelly which connects up to part of her chest with a pointy mountaintop shape, resembling a phoebe. She has striking light blue eyes. Her kittypet collar is a slightly lighter shade of blue with a silver bell on it, which she was later able to rip off after she became a rogue. Her mate had also once given her a cherry blossom, and she always wore it behind her right ear.

Relationship: Phoebe is Ashfall's mother, and they had a good relationship. She cared for her kit and enjoyed playing with him, knowing that her time was short. Ashfall was dismayed when she died, but was never able to fully grieve her death as he had other things to worry about at that time.

**Howl - Tom | Rogue | Father | Presumed Deceased** ***[NPC]***

Description: Howl is a sturdy, dark blue-gray tom with long fur. He has a triangular-shaped marking above his nose which is a lighter tone of blue-gray, and a tail tip which is the same color. He has ocean-green eyes.

Relationship: Howl is Ashfall's father. Howl would always ignore his son and almost seemed to hate him. But Ashfall, being a kit, couldn't read his emotions well, and still wanted to stay with Howl. It was only after he grew older when he looked back and saw his father's hatred for him. After Howl saved Ashfall—Ashpaw, at the time—from a fox, Ashfall realized that his father did care for him, and he felt regret and heartbroken after his supposed death.

https://imgur.com/a/777SrdG

Description: Leafshine is a lithe, average-sized calico she-cat with sleek and slightly fluffy fur. She has a long tail and dark green eyes. Her left forepaw has a scar since she once tripped on a rock.

Relationship: Leafshine is Ashfall's mate, and they both loved each other fully. Leafshine was always there to comfort Ashfall, and Ashfall was always grateful for her presence. They were both affectionate towards each other and rarely got into arguments. Towards the end of Ashfall's life, however, he isolated himself quite a bit, which made him and his mate more distant. Right before he died, he realized his mistakes, and wished he could tell Leafshine that he loved her one last time. (It was also noted that if one of them died, the other would never take on a new mate.)

Description: Sageleaf is a short-furred dilute calico she-cat with pale blue eyes.

Relationship: Sageleaf is Ashfall's daughter, and they both loved each other. Ashfall was devastated when she passed away.

Description: Feathermist is a sleek, soft, and short-furred blue-gray she-cat. Her underbelly, right ear, right forepaw, and right backpaw are white while also having a cream stripe on her forehead and a cream tail tip. She has a long, fluffy tail, and small round paws. Her eyes are green, and she has a scar running along her left forepaw from when she was attacked by another cat.

Relationship: Feathermist is Ashfall's daughter. Feathermist, as a kit, wanted to be a medicine cat, and Ashfall supported her in becoming one. However, things got more complicated when Feathermist wasn't chosen to be a medicine cat apprentice, and Ashfall tried many things to urge Ambersong, the medicine cat, to mentor Feathermist. Multiple times Feathermist was put into consideration in becoming a medicine cat, but it never happened. When Feathermist became a warrior instead, Ashfall felt sorry for her and wished she could have got what she wanted. The two were mostly distant, but they still had their moments together. Ashfall was devastated when she died.

Description: Emberpaw is a gray tom with dark gray splotches and wide smoky paws. He has green eyes.

Relationship: Emberpaw is Ashfall's son, and they had a good relationship as father and son. (Ashfall always remembered the little "bop" Emberpaw gave him on the nose when Emberpaw, then Emberkit, was just born.) But after Ashfall came back to ThunderClan from No Clan's Land, he had to stay in the medicine cat den due to injuries. Once he was able to return to normal life, a Clanmate, Mothskip, told him that Berrypaw died and that Emberpaw went missing. Ashfall was very distressed and left the Clan once again to look for his son. After days of searching, he sees Berrypaw's spirit. Ashfall was glad and in tears after learning that Emberpaw was doing well in StarClan.

Description: Berrypaw is a short-furred gray she-cat. She has large bright grass-green eyes and big ears, and short whiskers and small paws. She's very tall for her age and looks more like a warrior than a young apprentice. Her tail is long and slightly fluffy at the end.

Relationship: Berrypaw is Ashfall's daughter. They had a cute and fun relationship during Berrypaw's first moons of her kit life. However, the fact that Berrypaw and Featherpaw were rivals greatly unsettled Ashfall. (The sisters had both wanted the medicine cat apprentice spot.)

Later, Ashfall accidently missed Berrypaw's apprentice ceremony and wasn't with her for quite a few moons. By the time he recovered from an injury and was let out of the medicine den, he learned that both Berrypaw and Emberpaw had died. Ashfall was traumatized and left ThunderClan to search for Emberpaw. During his search, he saw Berrypaw's spirit and cried with joy at seeing her. Ashfall apologized to her repeatedly for not being with her in the last couple of moons before her death. Berrypaw told him she could never forgive anyone—including him—and Ashfall was grief-stricken, though he understood. After a bit of talking from Ashfall, he said his main point to her, which was, "I love you." However, Berrypaw had already disappeared by the time he said it. That was their last conversation while Ashfall was alive, which was rather bittersweet.

Description: Havenwhisper is a light brown she-cat with a cream tail tip and ears. She has small paws and a lean body, not built for fighting but for speed. Her legs are strong and she is not a over-fluffy cat. She has emerald-green eyes.

Relationship: Havenwhisper is Ashfall's adopted daughter. After her mother and father pass away, Ashfall and Leafshine, being the most recent cats who had became parents with kittens who were still in the nursery, were assigned as their adoptive parents. Havenwhisper and Ashfall were quite distant, though Ashfall still cared about her.

Beestar is an average-sized cream tom with short legs and soft, round neat fur that he never lets get messy. It is fairly short and only puffs up majorly around his chest. He has lighter paws, a lighter underbelly, and faint lighter tabby markings on his face focusing on his light brown eyes. His ears are small and rounded upwards, and behind his right ear he has a flawless raven feather.

Fallowspark is a tiny, fluffy, dark brown classic tabby she-cat. She has a long tail, a lighter underbelly, and a darker muzzle, ears, and paws. Her left eye is amber and her right eye is green.

https://imgur.com/a/fTdK7kD

Thicketfur is an average-sized brown she-cat with amber eyes. She has a brown splotched tail, brown splotched ears, and one brown splotched paw. She has a light brown muzzle, and her fur slightly curls at the end. She has a criss-cross scar above her nose.

Willowbriar is a calico she-cat with blue eyes.

Maplepaw is a light brown-gray she-cat with faint tabby markings. Her medium-length fur is always somewhat messy, and she has amber eyes. She is noted to often look tired.
