Aloespike

## History

### Kithood

Abandoned by her mate and left alone to starve, heavily pregnant Chicken gives birth to three kits, later to be named Mustardkit ,Aloekit, and Seedkit. She soon dies from blood loss and already being weak from her un-ability to hunt. The three kits and their dead mother are found just outside clan borders by Paleeyes, who was on a solo hunt. Paleeyes quickly buries Chicken, and then brings the kits back to the clan, worried for their health. A queen agrees to be their surrogate, but says she cannot raise them with all her other kits. After a brief argument, Paleeyes convinces his mate, Smallleaf, to adopt them. Sadly, Seedkit dies early on from lung complications.

As soon as Aloekit grows enough to walk and talk, they quickly take charge of the small group of kits. She leads Mustardkit around, sneaking into the warriors' den and bothering the elders. Paleeye's teases them with the possible future name of Aloestar if she keeps up that attitude. Aloekit only takes pride in this idea, which increases his bossiness.

### Apprenticeship

Aloekit is apprenticed to her own father, Smallleaf. Being the blunt cat she was, she complained that it wasn't their favorite father, Paleeyes. Smallleaf was genuinely hurt by this, and acted like it for a few moons. Aloepaw realized-with the nudge by Paleeyes- that they may have been a bit harsh, and Aloepaw apologized. They got along quickly after that, Aloepaw taking a serious liking to tree-hunting.

When Mustardpaw was selected to go on the special prophecy mission, Aloepaw was understandably upset. Although he was very loud and boisterious, he didn't make any friends, sticking by his sibling most of the time. They didn't know what to do for the first half moon as Mustardpaw was gone, eyeing other apprentices contemptously. When Ashpaw was apprenticed, Aloepaw saw that as her opportunity to take the other apprentice under her wing and make a new friend easily.

Ashpaw quickly grew on Aloepaw, Ashpaw's stubborn attitude made Aloepaw immediately loyal, loving the seriousness of how she would act some days. Especially in the morning when her fur was a mess and she was so grumpy she would use claws. Aloepaw and Ashpaw were basically the sassy duo, not taking anyone's absurdity. They would make evil jokes about each other and prank each other on a weekly basis. Now and then, Aloepaw would show her some secret advanced moves, so she could beat the other older apprentices.

After many moons, Mustardpaw finally came back. Aloepaw excitedly told them about their new friend, Ashpaw. She talked so much she hardly noticed Mustardpaw's new scars and depressed attitude for awhile.

A half-moon later, Paleeyes comes down with an awful cough. For awhile, it seems he will get better, but he just gets worse. It gets so bad that he refuses to eat, and Smallleaf puts Aloepaw's training on hold. They spend most days worrying or snuggling with him in the medicine cat den.

### Warriors

After almost a moon of suffering, Paleeyes was suddenly completely healed. He ate anything and everything, running around and play-fighting with Smallleaf, (although against the medicine cat's wishes), he was so joyful. Aloepaw celebrated with Mustardpaw and Ashpaw by going on a big hunt, finding Paleeyes' favorite bird, a robin. That day Featherstar also awarded them with their warrior names: Aloespike and Mustardseed.

As they sat vigil that night, a horrible scream sounded. In unison, they nodded and ran to the medicine den, gasping and breaking there vigil. Their father lay there, dead. Aloespike screamed in horror while Mustardseed just stared, collapsing. Smallleaf enters a few moments later, and immediently starts sobbing, stroking Paleeye's fur.

Smallleaf goes into a depression, and Aloespike worries for him. She tries to talk to him constantly, and he rarely says much, except how he wishes that he could be with Paleeyes at that very moment. Aloespike feels their fur prickle when they hears this statement, but they doesn't know what to say.

Aloespike talks to Ashpaw often, feeling overwhelmed at the loss of their father and the recluse-like nature of her other father. Ashpaw gets annoyed with Aloespike, yelling at her about how she doesn't have time to be a therapist when she needs to prepare for her final assessments. Aloespike just escalates the argument, and it only ends when Ashpaw finally leaves, in tears. Aloespike, out of spite, skips Ashpaw's warrior ceremony, later hearing her being referred to as Asflower.

Aloespike ignores Ashflower for awhile, busying himself by trying to watch Smallleaf, watching for signs of his declining health. Suddenly, Featherstar assigns Aloespike with her first apprentice, Termitepaw, just a couple moons after their sibling. She was a bit harsh with Termitepaw, taking out her stress on him too often, although he didn't realize. Termitepaw was often paranoid because of this, jumpy when Aloespike would have her mood swings.

Ashflower had her first apprentice quickly assigned, Bearpaw, but Aloespike ignored her attempts to hook up a battle training session. She instead focused on more one-on-one training with Termitepaw, teaching him how to disguise himself in pine needles, and surprise anyone.

One day they were assigned by the deputy to be on patrol together, and they eventually started arguing, then talking, apologizing to each other. Aloespike set up more training sessions with Ashflower and her apprentice, much to the delight of Termitepaw.

Termitepaw and Bearpaw were named Termitetail and Bearface. Aloespike and Ashflower went out on a quick hunting trip to celebrate. So caught up in their feelings of happiness, Aloespike was shocked when she encountered Smallleaf on her trip back. Smallleaf was acting weird, and making her feel down about just having her apprentice named. He was yelling at her for random things, and then apologizing and saying it didn't matter. Aloespike hissed at him and argued back, saying he was being ridiculous and should go back home and stop talking weird. They left him staring at his paws as they walked away with Ashflower.

Aloespike did not see Smallleaf again.

She blamed herself heavily for his death, and again went into a depression, hating himself even more for Smallleaf's death. He wished he could have stopped it, but he didn't.

Aloespike took awhile, but she eventually moved past his father's death.

Mustardseed was soon named deputy, and Aloespike congratulated him. When Mustardseed was announced leader, Aloespike practically begged and forced them to choose Ashflower as their deputy.
