## Past

\*DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS FOR RATHEATHER'S JEALOUSY\*

She was born to her mother, Icefur and her father, Newtstorm.

Icefur rejected Ratheather at birth, stating she never wanted kits. She cruelly named her kit, Ratkit, and left the kit with Appleheart, another queen who reluctantly raised her. Therefore, Newtstorm became overprotective of Ratkit. Appleheart's kit's liked to bully and tease Ratkit so she mostly stayed away from them. Appleheart and some of the clan disliked her too. Ratkit constantly witnesses her parents fighting and arguing, this made her miserable.

She became an apprentice and received Blackfoot, her mother's brother, as a mentor. He and his sister disliked Ratpaw from birth, so training was very difficult for both mentor and apprentice. Blackfoot is cold and abusive towards Ratpaw. Newtstorm dies protecting his daughter when badgers attack the camp. Ratpaw is deeply saddened by this as he was the only cat that loved her. An apprentice named Lakepaw comforts her during her father's vigil, they become friends. Lakepaw helps Ratpaw in dealing with her life. Ratpaw starts developing feelings for Lakepaw, therefore becoming his mate when they are warriors. One leaf-bare, Ratpaw follows her mother to the river. While Icefur is trying to hunt fish, Ratpaw pushes her into the ice-covered river, the ice breaking from the impact and drowns her.

Ratpaw becomes Ratheather and Lakepaw becomes Lakeice. Lakeice is granted the role of deputy and an apprentice at the age of 12 moons. Ratheather is happy for him but Lakeice becomes very busy with his new duties and training Shortpaw, therefore making no time for Lakeice and Ratheather to spend time together. Moons later, Shortpaw becomes a warrior and she and her mentor eventually become mates. Ratheather gets very bitter and angry about this, it seems like their relationship is a stronger one than hers and Lakeice's. She and Lakeice become argumentative with each other.

Shortleap bears Lakeice's kits, Ratheather is not happy about it. She deviates a plan to kidnap Shortleap and her kits. She and a friend steals the kits one night, Shortleap wakes up from the kits mewling but is threatened to stay quiet or she dies. Ratheather leads them away from camp and the territory.
