Junipershade

**Junipershade** was a pure white tom.

**Junipershade** was a permanent Meadow Colony dam serving under Talonclaw and Breezechaser. He was born as **Juniperkit** to Wetstep alongside his littermates: Weaselkit, Marshkit, Minkkit, and Clawkit. Asking to be trained as a kit-carer, he was apprenticed to Shiningspeck as **Juniperpaw**. He finished his training and was named **Junipershade**, but died in a flood while he was on a trip to the River Colony.

## History

### *Wind Whispers*

He is in Wetstep's second litter and he is first seen listening to his sister, Marshkit, complaining about how they've been held back by Adderstar. He tells her to shut up, because Talonclaw was going near them.
He is later seen talking to Talonclaw about something, to which Talonclaw looks confused.
After Oakfoot's warrior ceremony, Talonclaw calls him forward first and gives him Shiningspeck as his mentor. A few cats in the crowd, including Oakfoot, believe this is another punishment, but Juniperpaw bounds over happily to touch noses with her.
He is seen helping Hawkbite and Breezechaser with their new kits, alongside his mentor.
While going to ask Shiningspeck to check if she's pregnant, Oakfoot sees Junipershade curled up in his nest, snoring away.

### *Flood Season*

*Coming soon...*

Junipershade goes on a trip to the River Colony on Wetstep's orders to help them with the overflow of juveniles they currently have. While there, a flash flood breaks through camp. He gets three of the juveniles to safety, and runs back to get another, but is overcome with a current and washed away. He manages to get the kit in his mouth onto shore before he was fully taken, as Ryenose watches in shock. A patrol of Meadow Colony fighters comes and joins with a River Colony patrol to find his body, and they find it a few hours later. In death he is mourned as a true hero in the colonies. Ryenose later has a dream where she saved him from dying, and feels guilty.
