## Life

### Kithood

Maple was born a rogue to a rogue named Talon, and a former ShadowClan warrior named Almondnose. She was born into ShadowClan camp beside her brother Scorch and sisters Brindle and Poppy while Almondnose was meant to be recovering from a broken paw.

When she was about a week old she saw her father arguing with a cat named Raindash. The curious cat she was she walked right out and said "Hi", rewarded with a nick to the ear. Maple didn't understand why a cat would do that.

Maple escaped the ShadowClan camp when she was almost a moon old on accident, only to be caught by Raindash. Raindash put her in the River and tried to drown her. Luckily Almondnose found them before her life could be taken, and RiverClan cats helped get the water out of her chest.

Almondnose decided to take her kits to No Clans Land when they were old enough, and life seemed to be good there. Talon taught Maple what thyme was and what marigold was and they met a cat named Wasppaw, who Maple quickly friended. After Wasppaw left to go back to her home in WindClan Almondnose found a kit named Breezekit wandering in the forest. While he was with them she became good friends with Breezekit after he gave her a yellow flower that he was obsessed with at the time. Maple was sad when Breezekit's father, Tinyrose, came to take him back to his home.

One day Maple had been chasing a feather onto WindClan territory when she almost walked into a cat named Lionstar, who she talked to, or however a kit talks to cats. Her mother found her, worried as heck. Maple walked with her mom and siblings towards ShadowClan territory as she told them knews that Talon had fallen of the gorge, and was assumed dead. Maple and her siblings were sad and Scorch was angry, but that didn't stop the next event. A Fox attack left Almondnose dead. Her last words told Scorch to run to ShadowClan, and doing so their sister Poppy fell out of a tree and died and Maple broke her paw. Struck with grief Maple lay in the medicine den, recovering from her injury.

She was relieved though when she saw her friend Breezekit again, after Raindash joined ShadowClan with her kits. Despite Raindash telling Breezekit not to talk to her, they spoke when she wasn't around.

Talon found his kits in ShadowClan after they had already decided to join. He respected their decision and promised he would see them every moon.

During her kithood Maple had bouts of depression with the number of cats dying constantly going up, reminding her of the death of her mother. It didn't help that she didn't believe in StarClan, not knowing where cats went after death. Maple made an attempt at eating death berries in her younger kit days, stopped by Smokekit and Beechtalon.

### Apprenticeship

Maplepaw was apprenticed to one of her new friends, Rabbitbounce, after recovering from her broken paw as a kit. He taught her how to hunt and fight, how to climb trees, and Maplepaw had fun being an apprentice.

It wasn't long until she realized she loved her close friend, Breezepaw. Maplepaw had grown very fond of him and they'd been through a lot together.

Maplepaw was attacked by a fox one day when she was nine moons old, her eye taken by it. She was treated in Wind Clan then taken back home by her mother figure, Beechtalon.

Raindash died not long afterwards, and Maplepaw felt bad for her friend Breezepaw. Yet she knew a lot of cats would have less trouble.

### Adult Life

Maplenose was happy to be named after her mother, receiving the same suffix. She was made a warrior beside her siblings Scorch, and Brindlefeather.

Maplenose hung around her friend, Breezepaw more as she awaited for him to become a warrior.

Maplenose was given an apprentice after the nine-moon old daughter of Beechtalon joined from ThunderClan, she was excited to be a mentor.

On her way to No-Clans land during the fire Maplenose burnt her tail, but she made it there with her siblings and best friend, Breezeflower.

Maplenose decided to go hunting with Breezeflower one day so they could spend some time together, only to encounter a bobcat. They saved each other from being shredded by the strange creature, suddenly reminded about how much they cared about each other. The two became mates, and Maplenose was told by Ripplefeather that she'd been expecting kits.

Ripplefeather died on the Great Journey giving birth to her second litter of forbidden kits with Heatspirit. Maplenose mourned the death of her close friend but nursed her two kits, Cedarkit and Dashkit, while Beechtalon cared for them.

Maplenose gave birth to her four kits, Almondkit, Fawnkit, Rosekit, and Rainkit after they moved to a temporary camp near Twolegplace.

When they reached the new No Clan's Land Maplenose volunteered beside Thorncall and Embertooth to explore the place that would soon be their new territories, and they returned with eyes on a good camp and frog-filled territory.

Mousey was found by Maplenose when she was out for a walk, she found it odd that a three moon old kit would be wandering in dangerous territory by herself. She offered her to come to ShadowClan with her and willingly adopted her, at the time Maplenose didn't know Mousey had siblings. They later moved on to live in WindClan.

Moons passed after they moved into their new homes, with peace around them. Maplenose enjoyed the comfort of her mate and kits, beside Beechtalon and her friends. The dreaded day came when Beechtalon went to explore twolegplace, and Maplenose was devastated when Thorncall returned with her dead body. All the cats close to Beechtalon grieved for their lost clanmate, including Maplenose.

Only days later a dog barged its way into camp, and Maplenose fought beside Furstar and Heatspirit to drive it away. Heatspirit's last bite sent it running, but the dog had flung him into a tree and he died almost instantly.
