> She stayed silent for a couple of moments before answering, twirling the flower in her front paws. "Well, it's because I'd rather not live a life of where I'm always feeling comfortable. Life will not always be fair to me or any other cat, but that's why we learn how to adjust to our situations and try to make the best of it," Ocean explained, after a moment of thought, blinking a few times toward Cerberus, wondering if he understood what she said. "Sometimes the bad things in life can be turned into a good thing, if you're willing to make it happen." ~ Ocean to Cerberus

## Physical Description

Ocean is a very fluffy she-cat, with gray-ish and blue-ish colored fur, with a tail that matches along with the length of her fur. She takes her strong fluffiness from her mother, Dawn, who has the same length in fur, but not the same color. At adult age, she'll reach her maximum height of 8.5 inches (taller than her mother), and her weight of 7.8 lbs. She is smaller in height than her two biological brothers, Sandy and Breeze, but she is taller than her older sister, Seashell, who stands at approximately six inches. Ocean also is missing her right eye, due some really bad burns caused by a recent fire, and has a long scar across her belly, due to a surgery.

## Personality

She is the type of cat who will get very impatient if you make her wait for too long. She’ll wait for a little while, then ask a couple of times if the cat is ready to go. If they aren’t, then she'll just go on her own, without telling them. Sometimes, she’s not the most honest with her feelings. If she’s having a bad day, whether that may be sad or mad for example she’ll put on a fake smile and say, “I’m fine” or “I’m good” and try quickly to change the subject to something else. She is also the type of cat who has a long memory, and if someone intentionally makes her mad, she’ll hold a grudge against them from a little while to a long while, depending on what they did to make her mad. Although, if they were in possible danger, she’ll go out of her way to forget the grudge, and step in to help them to get them away from the danger. Despite these things though, she’s actually often a cheerful cat, who enjoys the present moment, and loves to have friendly fun with others. She is a very hardworking cat, always willing to do more than she’s asked. For example, she will hunt a few extra pieces of prey, even when no one asks her too. She will clean out anyone’s nest just to make sure everyone is healthy. She will take extra watch shifts, to ensure her family doesn’t have to worry of a possible intrusion at night. She’s willing to do whatever it takes to protect her family, even if it means she has to make a few self sacrifices. She also has a curious personality in discovering new things she’s never experienced before, but she is cautious as well, wanting to make sure it’s safe before she can continue on with discovering that thing.

## Skills & Weaknesses

Because of her very fluffy fur, that was inherited from her mother's side of the family, it makes it a little harder for Ocean to run quickly as other cats, making her slower and even more sweaty during the summer months. Although, it does make it harder for opponents to try claw away at her flesh most of the time, making it a useful tool during battle. She also knows how to swim and fish, which will strengthen over time, as she continues to constantly practice. It will be a useful skill during leaf-bare, when land prey gets scarce.

Because of her newly deceased right eye, it makes it harder for Ocean to spot movement at the side(s) of her head, making her mostly jumpy and wary, not knowing who could be right next to her. Maybe a friend or maybe even a potential enemy. Unfortunately, she doesn't know many battle moves, and is not very good at them, so if someone attacks her, they'll most likely have the upper paw in the battle.

## Life

### Kithood

Ocean was born during mid-day of December 20th - 2021, with her father helping her mother give birth to her, and her three siblings. She was the second-to-the last child to be born. Her father, Bat, still does not know that these kits are his, biologically, and thinks the kits' father is someone else. When she was newly born, Bat held her close to his fur, calling her, his "little pebble" which now is one of her nicknames.

When she was a few days old, her youngest brother, Sandy had wandered out of their family den in an attempt to practice his walking, when he had been attacked by a fox, also known as the "mysterious creature" by Ocean and her siblings. Ocean didn't know what to do to help her brother, since she, herself, was also a little kit, and didn't have the ability to think during that stressful moment. Thankfully, her mother, Dawn had heard her brother's screaming and the fox's loud yapping, and she had arrived, seeing that her three-legged son was in danger. Without hesitation, her mother had charged towards the fox and leaped on-top of it, clawing it without mercy, before it finally let go of Sandy and ran off back into the woods. Ocean, was of course grateful towards her mother to saving her brother from intimate death, but it left the little she-kit slightly blaming herself for just standing there and not trying to help out her brother. So, she promised to herself, *secretly* within her heart, that she would always protect her siblings and family, regardless of what may happen.

When she was just a week old, Bat had spotted her, sitting right at the entrance of the family den, and began to talk to her, making sure that she wasn't getting too cold, by pressing his warm fur against her's. Ocean gladly welcomed his warm presence, and found comfort with him being there. As the pair continued to snuggle, Bat began to tell her numerous stories of tales that he heard when he was a kit himself, and some tales that he had come up with on his own, which she listened to with wonder and amazement, very much enjoying all these stories. Her favorite character so far was Mr.Sun, who is a kind guide to all cats and provides warmth to the coldest of pelts. After her "uncle" had told her these stories, Ocean suddenly remembered what happened with the weird creature attack a few days ago and slowly told Bat everything about it, almost on the verge of crying, for she couldn't bear the thought of ever losing her brother. Bat had gently comforted her, and promised her that he wouldn't ever let something like happen again.

A day later, he had gathered her and siblings together in the family den, and strictly told them, from now on to keep a close eye or nose to their surroundings, so they wouldn't be in that kind of predicament again. He also taught them to use the buddy system, where one sibling couldn't be out of the den without another sibling accompanying them, or if an adult like him or Dawn would supervised them. All the kits, including Ocean had nodded and agreed, taking his words as seriously as they could.

Ocean also spent time with her mother, Dawn, by practicing her real "hunting" skills with a pebble that she had been chasing around the den. Her mother had watched with her with amusement, seeing how dedicated Ocean was in chasing down the pebble. Once she had successfully had caught her "prey", Ocean had brought the pebble over toward her mother, as though she were coming back from a real hunt, and giving it to the most important cat who needed to be fed first. Her mother had praised her gratefully, and threw a feather into the air, pretending it was a bird for Ocean, telling her daughter to catch it. Ocean, happily had caught the "bird" and once again presented her catch to her mother, as pride had swelled into her chest once more, as though she really did something important to help out.

At two weeks old, Ocean, met a nice tom-kit, named Tiger Lily, who had spotted her making small piles of pebbles nearby her family's den. At first, she was nervous around the new cat, not knowing what his intentions were at first...but soon after talking with him a little, she became more relaxed and friendly. She proudly told him that her mother was a she-cat named Dawn, and later told him that her "uncle" was a wonderful tom named, Bat, who she learned was Tiger Lily's adoptive father. With obvious realization, Ocean now knew that Tiger Lily was no "complete stranger" to her anymore, they were family! Family, that no idea that the other had exisited in the first place.

At four weeks old (one moon), Ocean was playing in the snow, just right outside her family's den, when her older sister, Seashell approched her happily, greeting Ocean with her limited speech. Ocean had stopped her playing and began to talk to her sister, barely stuttering any more like she used to. Her sister suggested that they should play a game, and that game was hide-in-seek, where Ocean would be the one seeking. Agreeing, Ocean began to count to ten, while her sister had quickly trotted off to hide behind a tree that had been nearby. Once, she was done counting, Ocean began to look for sister, but it didn't take long, for her sister had fallen right down into a hole that had been right behind her, making her sister sister yelp with alarm. Abandoning the game, Ocean quickly went towards where her sister had yelped, and found her sister stuck at the bottom of the hole. She quickly lent a paw to her sister, trying to reach as much as could towards her, warning her sister that she might have to jump just to reach her paw. Seashell had nodded in agreement, as did as she was told, grabbing onto Ocean's paw, with her claws. Ocean had quickly pulled her sister up with as much strength as she could, and brought her away from the hole, panting with relief. Her sister had thanked her by nuzzling her cheek with her's, in which Ocean purred with love.

A few days later, Ocean was playing nearby her family's den once more, prancing happily in the snow, while keeping her ears pricked for any strange noises, just like her "uncle" Bat had told her to do. Suddenly, she hears the sounds of leaves and snow being crunched, and she had stopped in her playing, looking in the direction of where the sound was coming from. At first she thought it might have been the "weird creature" again, or a whole new creature that was coming to get her, instead of her brother this time. So instead of going inside her family's den, like a *sensible* kit would, she hissed out towards the sound, and demanded who was out there, while she had tried to threateningly puff out her fur out. Surprisingly, it wasn't a creature who called back to her, but another cat! A she-cat in fact! After talking with this she-cat a little bit, she learned that her name was "Primrosemeadow" which sounded weird in Ocean's mind for she never heard of such a long name before, or a complicated one for that matter. Primrosemeadow had also thought Ocean's name was weird, for she never anything like it either. Primrosemeadow told her of where she came from, a place called the "clans" where huge groups of cats lived together, but not entirely. For there were four clans; ShadowClan (where she came from), WindClan, ThunderClan, and RiverClan. She said that RiverClan was the weirdest clan, because they swam and ate things like fish. Ocean didn't understand what Primrosemeadow was talking about, and confusingly asked what a "fish" was and what this "swimming" was. Primrosemeadow had laughed and told little Ocean to follow her, so she could show Ocean for herself. Of course, being a curious kit, Ocean totally forgot about her "uncle's" strict warnings, and happily followed the ShadowClan she-cat. She followed her to a stretch of river, where Primrosemeadow allowed her to touch a paw into the water, where Ocean had declared that the feeling of her paw being wet felt kinda weird, but in a good way. Primrosemeadow had chuckled and agreed.

At five weeks old, Ocean ate her first real solid prey, which was a chewed up mouse, since her teeth were still quite little and developing. While she was eating, her mother, Dawn approached her and asked how the prey tasted. Ocean purred and said it tasted good, as her mother had curled herself around her, trying to keep her warm. While they talked, a sudden thought had popped into Ocean's mind, a thought that had been nagging at her ever since she learned to think and talk. One, that made her mother quite nervous. She asked her mother why her brother Breeze and her "uncle" Bat looked quite similar to each other. Dawn tried to deny it by skirting around the question, but Ocean remained firm and began to think of her own theories of how this all related back to her "uncle". With hard determination and a little bit of critical thinking, Ocean finally came to the conclusion or realization, that the reason why Breeze and Bat was so similar...was because Bat had to be their father, in which the little kit asked her mother if this was *true*. Her mother, once again tried to deny it, and it emotionally hurt Ocean to see her mother lying to her, especially since the matter involved the subject of family. Her mother saw how disappointed and hurt Ocean was in her lying, so she took Ocean away from their family den and up towards a nice hill, where cats could see the stars and the the brilliant night sky. Once Dawn was sure nobody had followed them, she confessed to Ocean, that indeed Bat was their biological father, *but*, she strictly told Ocean to not tell Bat or her siblings of this shocking truth, making her promise to not whisper a word about this. Well, until her siblings got older of course.

At six weeks old, Ocean had been crouching outside her family den, thinking about life, when she sees a movement through the woods, thinking it may be the weird creature again, or another a cat. It turned out, to be indeed a another cat, when Ocean called out to it, asking who was there. The cat had answered back, and asked who Ocean was. Ocean replied, saying her name, and asked in turn who *she* was. The she-cat, said her name was Diamond, and she was a loner, just like Ocean was. The two began to talk more conversely with one another, relaxing once they warmed up to each other. They both learned that each other had siblings, with Diamond having one half-brother and one sister, and Ocean having two brothers and one sister. She asked Diamond what a half brother meant, and she learned it was when a cat shared the same mother but not the same father with their siblings. After the talk of siblings, Ocean asked what Diamond did for fun, trying to move on to the next subject. Diamond told her that she trespasses on Clan territory for fun, mainly on RiverClan land, because she had an enemy there, named Otterchase. Ocean thought Otterchase's name was much weirder than Primrosemeadow's name. She asked Diamond if she ever gets caught by the clan cats, when she trespasses. Diamond had nodded, but told Ocean that she was way too clever and sneaky to get caught by them too often.

At eight weeks old, Ocean was practicing her "amazing" hunting skills just right outside her family's den, when another unfamiliar cat approaches her from behind, and accidentally scares her. She had whirled around and saw that it was a tall she-cat with dark gray markings. The she-cat apologized for scaring her, and asked what her name was. Ocean told her name, while trying to calm herself down. After a giving herself a moment, Ocean asked who the she-cat was, and she said that her name was Frond, and that she was friends with her mother, Dawn. After realizing that it another cat who was her mother's friend, Ocean became a little more friendly and relaxed around Frond, as they began to talk to one another. Ocean proudly told Frond that she was practicing her hunting skills, so she could one day hunt for her mother and family, wanting to give back to them. Frond had smiled and said that she was a very kind kit for thinking like that, **~ in progress ~**

At nine weeks old, her mother had gathered up her and her siblings, along with Bat to move to a new family den right beside the beach and the ocean (haha), where everyone could see the sun better, and there was no snow, which came off as strange to Ocean, for she was quite used to the snow that had crunched under paws and was cold. The sand was much different, for it was squishy and would get stuck in between her pads and fluffy fur, unless she shook out her fur enough,

At ten weeks old, Ocean was sitting in front of her family's new den, thinking about everything that happened to her recently, mainly about the fact that Bat was indeed her and her siblings' real father. She was glad that her mother's friend, Frond, also knew, but it didn't satisfy the kit that not everyone else knew. It was hard for her to kept such a wonderful thing secret, especially since her father had recently became official mates with her mother. As Ocean was thinking about this, her youngest brother, Sandy, comes out from the den and approaches her, seeing her fixated face of worry. He sat down beside her, and gently asked her what was wrong. Ocean had put on a fake smile and said, "I'm fine", but Sandy clearly didn't believe her and asked once again what was bothering her. She once again said the same thing, but of course, again Sandy didn't believe her, and decided to leave her alone, not wanting to bother her. He padded away, and as Ocean watched, she felt like she was responsible for dealing for her own emotions and feelings, while at the same time, she didn't like pushing others away like this, especially if it was a family member. **~ in progress ~**

At two moons old, or eleven weeks old, Ocean was nearby in the woods not far from the beach, playing in the snow, when she catches movement through the tall, shadowy trees. She wonders what it is at first, and decides to approach it, while mewing out to it, just in case it may be other cat, and indeed it was another cat! A cat who almost tripped over a tree root upon trying to approach Ocean. The cat was a tom, and she asked him if he was alright, and he laughed, saying he was okay. The tom asked what her what her name was, as he adjusted himself properly. Ocean said what her name was, and asked in return what *his* name was. He said his name was Bubblebuzz, and he came from RiverClan, adding on that his name might sound weird to a loner like Ocean. But, since she already talked to a ShadowClan cat, and talked to Diamond and Frond, his name didn't sound anymore weirder than Otterchase's name, which she learned from Diamond, who said that he was her enemy. Bubblebuzz asked her if she tasted fish before, in which Ocean replied with a no, saying she only tasted mice before. **~ in progress ~**

At fifteen weeks old, Ocean was practicing her hunting skills with a few pebbles, nearby in the woods, near her family's beach den, when she's approached by a kit one moon older than her, that turns out to be one of her adoptive siblings. And that adoptive sibling, is none other, then...her adoptive brother, Wreath, who asks her what on earth she doing with the pebbles that she had. Ocean, being completely focused on her practicing, wasn't expecting someone to be watching her at all, and whirled around, coming face to face with him, telling him quite sheepishly that she was practicing her hunting skills. Wreath had looked and her and asked her why she was wasting her precious time on practicing on a pebble instead of real prey. Ocean, being her usual kind self, said it was just for practice, and that she wouldn't want to waste precious prey in leaf-bare. Her adoptive brother seemed quite confused with this, and said, that if she kept depending on others, then nothing good would come out of it, and that her mother would surely throw her out for not contributing back to the family. Ocean, feeling hurt, and confused herself, defensively asked him, who even said she would *never* contribute? She told him that she indeed did and *will* contribute back to her family, as thanks for taking care of her. **~ in progress ~**

At sixteen weeks old, Ocean was crouching by a nearby stream, wanting to hunt for smaller fish, since she realized that hunting bigger fish would be for when she got older and much bigger, so she wouldn't have to keep carrying them back to her family's den. But, before she got a chance to even hunt for a smaller fish, her father, Bat had approached her, and sternly asked her what she was doing out here with no buddy and without her mother. Ocean was not expecting him to be watching her, and told him that she was fishing, and that her mother was back at the beach den. Bat, being protective, reminded her gently yet sternly to not go outside without a buddy or a companion. Ocean wanted to protest against her father, who still thought she was his niece, but she held her tongue at the last moment, knowing that arguing wasn't going to solve anything in this type of situation, and in fact may make it worse than it was already was. With that said and done, Bat had promptly scooped her up in his jaws, and told her that he would be taking her to Pig's Place, where most of his family was, like his stepfather, and his step-siblings. Ocean again wanted to protest, thinking he was going to take her back to her family's den, but knew that wasn't going to happen. So, he takes her to Pig's Place, where she spots Diamond and her adoptive siblings, who she recognizes. Important to note, after this encounter, Ocean now feels like she has to disobey rules just to get a little bit of freedom that she wants/needs, and will try every way just to sneak out.

At seventeen weeks old, Ocean got to met one of her adoptive grandfathers, Acorn, who found her swimming in a shallow stream, wondering what she was doing and asking where her parents might be. Ocean calmly told him that she wasn't in any sort of danger, since she knew what to do and that her parents weren't far off. This seemed to slightly reassure Acorn, as he didn't ask any further questions regarding the matter. She asked the tom what his name was, and he replied that his name was Acorn, which meant he wasn't a clan cat, not only his name but also the scent that he gave off. Ocean, told the Acorn her name in response, and asked him if she might know her mother Dawn, or her "uncle", Bat. Acorn said that Bat was actually his step-son, and that actually made them family, in which Ocean was surprised and happy, for she wasn't expecting to meet any more family members out there. She happily told him that it was amazing that she got to finally met him, while not seeing how rigid or sad Acorn was looking. He tried to match her tone, and asked her if she had any siblings. Ocean proudly told him that she had three other siblings, with her being the second-to-last born sibling out of the litter.

**!! I will fill out the rest of the weeks, once I feel motivated !!**

At thirty weeks, her father, Bat, called her and all her siblings together, including her adoptive siblings, for a quick meeting in one of dens in Pig's Place. Ocean, not sure why this meeting was being called, had quickly went over to her father and sat before him, asking what was going on. And, once all of her siblings had finally gathered around, he told them that he would be lifting the strict restrictions of them not being able to leave the camp, even though she had been sneaking out repeatedly without him knowing for weeks. Despite this, Ocean was very happy and glad for this change, for now she knew she didn't have to constantly look over her shoulder anymore or feel guilty about sneaking out. Her father had saw her happiness, and gently told her to go out and have fun, but also to be safe.

At thirty one weeks old, on a sunny afternoon, Ocean was swimming in the same stream, she's always loved, when a tom spots her, and thinks she is drowning rather than having fun. So, he quickly rushes over to her, and says he's there to save her, but Ocean told him that she didn't need saving, and that she was perfectly *fine*. The tom seemed to calm down after a moment, and asked her what she was doing then. She calmly told the tom, that she was just swimming, while felling the annoyance that adults kept thinking that kits, like her didn't know how to properly swim. **~ in progress ~**

Later in the same week, as Ocean woke up early in the morning to go swimming, her youngest brother, Sandy, playfully tackled her from behind, thinking it was all in good fun, but she doesn't think the same, since she didn't like to be randomly attacked from behind, even from family members. Her brother teasingly told her that she was better on the water, than on land, and Ocean corrected him by saying, that the term was "in" not "on". Sandy had looked sadly at her and said with disappointment, that he thought that she was would be proud of him, since he snuck up on her without her noticing. Ocean told her brother that *of course*, she was proud of him, but the thing that she didn't like about it, was that she was the one being pounced on. Sandy apologized, and he spotted a mouse, quickly telling her, before he went off to kill it. When he came back, she praised him, telling him that it was a good catch.

Again, in the same week, while Ocean was fishing peacefully at a new stream, at the end of The Edge of the Forest, near ThunderClan land, an unfamiliar scent reached her nose, as she turned to see it was a cat she had never met before. The tom had caught her looking and hurriedly told her that he was a ThunderClan cat, and that he *really* needed to cross the river for an unknown reason at the time. Ocean realized that this was her first time meeting a ThunderClan cat, since the only other clan cats she met was from RiverClan and ShadowClan. She immediately took note of how different ThunderClan scented from RiverClan and ShadowClan, along with the physical differences between the three clans. She told the tom, that it was nice of him to tell her that he wanted to cross the river, before actually splashing through it, since most cats would rudely do that. The tom seemed confused by her words, and told her that he wasn't being nice at all, and that he just wanted to make sure that Ocean knew that he wasn't going to attack her or anything. The young she-kit slightly grumped at this, not knowing what to make of this ThunderClan tom, who never did tell her his name. **~ in progress ~**

### Adolescence

When Ocean was forty weeks old, she finally got to properly met her oldest biological brother, Breeze, who is blind. At first she is nervous and slightly awkward around him, not really knowing what to say, since they never really talked before. Eventually though, further into the conversation with him, she slips into her usual comfortable and confident self, the way that most cats know her. Her brother confessed to her, that he never met anyone else besides their mother and father, which surprised and saddened Ocean at the same time, thinking it was because of his self-confidence and his blindness. Being a good sister, Ocean offered him to lead him around the camp to meet other cats if he wished, telling him that she would try her best to describe the physical features of different cats, along with some personality traits of each cat. Her brother was nervous, but excited, happily agreeing to her kind offer. With a smile, Ocean began to lead him around the camp, first telling him about her friend, Diamond, who was one of her friends. **~ in progress ~**

Around the age of forty-one weeks weeks old, one day she was out hunting, she had accidentally pounced on a brown colored she-cat, who she thought was rabbit at first. Ocean felt very worried for the she-cat, thinking that she might have accidentally injured her, but after giving her a good sniff, she didn't smell any blood coming form her. She helped the older she-cat get to her paws, and kept nervously apologizing to her, which the she-cat understood, and knew that Ocean meant no real harm, while trying to nervously put her head between her neck fluff. After a moment, Ocean quickly introduced herself, and asked the brown colored she-cat what her name was. The she-cat said that her name was Moth, and that she came up with it herself. Ocean said to Moth that she thought her name was really pretty, which she really liked, and asked Ocean what she was doing out there in the cold. She told her to not worry about her, since she, herself, had her own fluffy fur, and that she was proudly six moons, in which Moth replied that still was still quite too young to be alone like this, and asked her where her home might be. And, of course, Ocean being Ocean, she grumped slightly at Moth, because she knew how often other adult loners kept telling her how "too young" she was to be by herself. So, Ocean replied in a vague manner, that her home was nearby, not giving anything away. **~ In progress ~**

At the age of twelve moons, or seventy weeks old, Ocean heard a loud commotion going on outside her family den, and wondered what going on, so she had quickly ran out and saw with complete horror, that Acorn was lying limply at the base of the meeting tree, while her father, Bat, was standing upon the place where her grandfather usually sat, his eyes wild and crazy. He had proclaimed in a loud voice to all members of Pig's Place that Acorn was now stripped of his leader status, and that he now was in charge of them all, giving absolutely *no* warning, of this to anyone before he did this.

### Adult-hood

On April 12th, at the age of one hundred and thirteen weeks, had been Ocean eating a salmon by herself, when she had spotted her one of her youngest brothers named Tinker, who was playing with a little toy he had made. The young molly had felt guilty and sad, knowing he would never get to know their parents, who had left he only just a newborn, barely old enough to even open his eyes or learn to speak. So, it had been up to Daisy, Seashell, and herself to help raise him up, even though they weren't qualified to really be parents. Ocean had played with Tinker, and tried to encourage him, wanting to form a bond with her little brother, and he seemed to warm up to her.

On May 1st, 2022, when Ocean was one hundred and thirty two weeks old, Pig's Place was promptly destroyed in the night by a large swarm of rats, causing the residents of the camp to awake with missing clumps of fur, blood bleeding from newly caused scratches and bites, and even fleas that infested themselves into the all of cats' fur, causing a great deal of pain and itching. By the time Ocean had awoken in the early morning, many cats were already gone and she was filled with shock and unbelief, as she remembered Cherrydust's foretold warning a few days prior. Already knowing she couldn't live in such destruction, she had hobbled quickly out of camp, covered in her own fair share of bites and scratches, feeling pain across her whole body, as she bleed from many wounds. And, as she stumbled a few steps away from her destroyed home, Cherrydust had come and sat down next to her, also covered in fleas. As the two cats began to talk a little, Cherrydust had suddenly, but kindly offered that they should head together to ThunderClan, so Ocean could be treated for her wounds, while the russet feline would be treated for their fleas. Ocean was a little hesitant at first, but eventually agreed, allowing herself to lean against Cherrydust's shoulder for support.

On May 3rd, 2022, when Ocean was one hundred and thirty four weeks old, she was chased out once again by the rats, but this time, it happened while she was temporarily living in the ThunderClan with Cherrydust, who had convinced Peonystar to let her rest and regain her strength back. The rats had attacked at the sole peak of midnight, coming in massive swarms from every direction imaginable. Ocean had managed to escape and made her way to the Gathering place, where she began to make preparations for the Clan cats who would be arriving soon, knowing that it wasn't just ThunderClan who was being attacked by the vicious creatures. And while she did so, Ocean regretted running away so quickly, for she worried about the safety of Cherrydust, who had been so kind and sweet to her even though they had their own kits to look out for. Durning the whole night, cats from every Clan had poured into the clearing, covered in their own wounds and scars, caring the same haunt of memories that echoed with blood and the sound of loud screaming.

Over the course of the next few days, while Ocean is making nests for the Clan cats, she meets a throng of new and old cats from every Clan, such as Wasppoppy, whom she helped heal from her injuries when Ocean was a tad younger. She also met Acaciasigh, who was a WindClan warrior and was one of Sandy's *good* friends. While talking with her, the WindClan warrior had quickly figured out that Ocean was indeed Sandy's sister, not even hesitating at her own guess. And, a bit later, the young blue and gray molly had met Joypaw, who was a newly named ThunderClan apprentice, who quickly let down her barriers around Ocean, and had a great time chatting with her. Perhaps it was too quick...for Joypaw had happily bombarded Ocean with many questions that made the young loner suddenly overwhelmed, not used to answering questions this quickly.

On May 4th, 2022, when Ocean was one hundred and thirty five weeks old, she got to talk to her old friend, Diamond, who was absolutely devastated at the destruction that the rats had brought to both the Clans and to the loners. Ocean sadly told her long time friend that Pig's Place was also unfortunately destroyed by the rats, causing pain to re-surface to both she-cats. Diamond sadly asked Ocean what they did to deserve this, and she answered that they did nothing to deserve such unfairness, suddenly realizing how much Pig's Place had meant to her. And, while this conversation was happening, most of the Edge of the Forest had unfortunately burned down from a huge fire that blazed through the shrubbery, leaving only ashes in its wake. **No loner knows what has happened to their home, until the Clans will eventually defeat the rats.**

On May 5th, 2022, when Ocean was one hundred and thirty six weeks old, she was taking a slow stroll across the crowded clearing, trying to get some exercise while also trying not to focus on so many negative emotions that had recently swirled around the gathered cats. Mainly the memory of loud screaming that had pierced the night that the rats had attacked, filling the cold air with unspeakable horror that wouldn't go away. The voices of kits, apprentices, and warriors alike, echoing in her head like an endless wave of water. Even in the land of dreams, that's all she could think about, and she knew that other cats' were also experiencing the same thing. She could hear their restless tossing and turning throughout the night--their heavy breathing, their gasps as they suddenly awoke, and their wide eyes at every little sound that happened throughout the night, always suspecting rats to be there.

On May 6th, 2022, when Ocean was one hundred and thirty seven weeks old, she was resting in her nest beneath the Great Oak, when Honeydawn, a RiverClan medicine cat, had spotted her and quickly ran over toward her, instantly noticing the horrible wounds across Ocean's body. She kindly asked Ocean for permission to treat her wounds, and the young loner had quickly agreed, knowing she shouldn't have waited this long to seek medical attention. Honeydawn was gentle and kind, as she had treated Ocean's wounds, knowing they must have hurt a lot.

On May 7th, when Ocean was one hundred and thirty eight weeks old, the rats have seemed to disappeared over night, allowing all four Clans to slowly return to their territories, while Ocean decided to go back with ThunderClan, knowing she'd need a few days to recover from her wounds before officially going back to her home in the edge of the forest, still unaware of the recent damage caused by a fire. While she stayed there, she met Butterflypaw, who was a medicine cat apprentice. The two chatted for a little bit, before Butterflypaw had to go off to do her duties.

On May 9th, when Ocean was one hundred and forty weeks old, she had decided that she was well enough to travel and bid her far-wells to a few cats she knew in the ThunderClan camp, forever grateful for their kindness that they showed her while she was there. When she finally reached her home after traveling a little bit, she was greeted by a mostly burned down forest, instead of a lush one, causing Ocean to be utterly shocked by the massive destruction that was brought to her forest.

On May 11th, when Ocean was one hundred and forty two weeks old, she went exploring in Twolegplace, looking for materials to build a nest, since there was barely any moss left in the little space that hadn't been burned by the fire. And, while she was looking around, she heard someone sneezing nearby, and wondering who it was, she decided to check it out, hoping it was another loner. But when she approached the Twoleg nest, she was instead greeted by a tall male kittypet, who had heard her loud footsteps. After a moment, both cats introduced themselves to each other, and Ocean learned that his name was Cerberus, and he spoke in a tone that almost resembled a pirate. After talking a little bit, Cerberus invited the blue and gray molly into his garden, assuring her that his Twolegs wouldn't harm her if they spotted her. Ocean was a bit hesitant at first, but eventually she padded in after him, telling him a little bit about herself.

On May 14th, when Ocean was one hundred and forty five weeks old, she had followed a small patrol of different Clan cats to an area of where many broken vats were spilling out disgusting pools of black liquid. Her new friend, Cherrydust had been in the lead of the whole patrol, with Blazingstar of RiverClan, Bashfulpaw of ThunderClan, and their two daughters, Salamander and Axolotl. Ocean had watched them from the shadows, not wanting to interfere in their Clan business, but it seemed that Cherrydust already seemed to know that she was there, calling her out in a gentle voice--telling the young loner to watch over their children while they analyzed the situation of the vats. And, while Cherrydust began to examine them, one of the vats suddenly rolled toward Blazingstar, heading straight for the old RiverClan leader, and without hesitation, the red feline instantly pushed him out of the way and got smushed by it instead. Horror from the group, beside Bashfulpaw rang out, as Ocean leaped out of her hiding place and ran toward Cherrydust's body, already knowing that the ShadowClan warrior was dead. The overwhelming sense of seeing another friend dead at her paws, drove the young molly away from the vats, not caring if they judged her or even saw her cry, as she ran off in the direction of the already, mostly burned down Edge of the Forest, feeling her grief wash over her like a tidal wave. She didn't stop running until she was fairly deep within the forest, allowing herself to grieve uncontrollably, as she bent over herself and sobbed. And, while she was sobbing, a second fire was beginning to make it's way toward her, burning the land once more in devastation.

**[ Need to add Ocean & Cerberus rp stuff ]**

On May 28th, when Ocean was one hundred and fifty nine weeks old, she decided to take a walk in the forest, after a full week of taking time to heal from her miscarriage surgery, filled with muted sorrow and grief, knowing she'd never get a chance to raise the kits that she had lost in her womb. Since the forest that the loners had lived in, had been completely burned down, she had then decided to go walk on the beach instead, remembering the fond memories she had of her parents and lively kithood--and on her way to the beach, she had stumbled upon a bush with a great opening in it, finding three little tom-kits in a mossy nest. Ocean had quickly learned that their names were Seagulls, Anchor, and Patches, and their mother had been gone for a few days, leaving the kits hungry and cold.

**!! The Second Great Journey started on June 24th, 2022 !!**

On June 24th, when Ocean was one hundred and eighty six weeks old, a flashflood had chased her, her family, and all the Clans out of their homes, causing all of them to flee to the beach, where seven tall ships awaited them. While Ocean had been waiting and freaking out near the shore, a young she-kit, by the name of Sparkkit had accidentally stumbled into meeting Ocean, upon being separated from her family who lived in ThunderClan. Unbeknownst to Ocean, this young kit actually belonged to one to Hollysmoke and Fawn, who were acquaintances of her's. The young kit had cried and wanted to get back to her parents, finding everything very scary, and Ocean tried to comfort fae, knowing what it was like to be suddenly surrounded by danger and fear. Ocean quickly took Sparkkit under her wing, and told her to quickly run with her and her family toward the ship called "Wavebringer" which was one of the smaller ships. Sparkkit had made no argument, and agreed to go with Ocean, still finding everything to be scary. Eventually they all made it onto the boat and into a make-shift shelter, which hid them away from the raging wind and rain.

On June 28th, when Ocean was one hundred and ninety weeks old, she and many other cats from different ships began singing sea-shanties! The singing united all the cats together, and their voices could be heard for many miles, causing a ripple of happiness and encouragement to spread along each cat who had sang. The one who had initially started the singing, was non other than, Sea-snakepaw himself, who led with great bravery and brightness.

During the duration of the whole Great Journey, Ocean gets the opportunity to meet many cats from different Clans, such as Maleficentreign (ThunderClan), Ghost (WindClan), Sea-snakepaw (RiverClan), and Mahoganysnap (RiverClan)! During the whole trip, Ocean would often switch boats to explore each one and find new cats to talk to. Unfortunately though, she realizes that most of the cats she meets will only become a one time thing, since she knows that once they arrive at their new homes, all of the Clans will eventually have to separated apart and the rules of trespassing will resume back to normal. Along with talking to many cats, some of Ocean's conversations with them weren't so bright, for she had to sometimes re-count her traumatic memories, which mainly included the fires and the massive lost of her siblings (both biological & adopted). She even learns from Ghost (who was a WindClan queen) that her disowned brother, Sandyshowers, had suddenly passed away from some unknown reason, which she didn't really react to. What Ocean really found fun on the trip was the collection of treasures she found on two different small islands that the boats had stopped at. She found four wolf claws and teeth, four wolf bones, two badger ribs, a pink seashell, a falcon egg, and a baby jaguar skull. She ended up giving away the badger ribs and bones to her old mentor and best friend, Bubblebuzz, whom she talked to a few times during the trip. She also ended up giving away the falcon egg to the Twolegs who lived upon the ship, letting them have a chance to raise the young hatchling, instead of it potentially becoming an easy meal or letting it die off.

On August 11th, 2022, when Ocean was two hundred and thirty-three weeks old, the seven boats that all four Clans were traveling on, arrived at their final destination of the Vast Planes, which is the new home of the Clans and non-clan cats. Ocean spends her day by bustling her sons off of the boat and allowing them to enjoy a day at the beach, while she takes more of an opportunity to talk to more Clan cats.

On August 19th, 2022, when Ocean was two hundred and fourty-one weeks old, she was happily carrying home a fish that she caught from the nearby forest, thinking about other things, when she had accidentally collided into something, thinking it was a cat at first, but once she looked up to her surprise, it *wasn't* a cat at all...it was an otter. The otter had taken one look at fish in Ocean's jaws and instantly tried to leap at her, desperately wanting to steal away her meal. Of course, having no real experience in battle before, Ocean had immediately fled down the beach in terror, yelling desperately for help, while she tried to keep distance between her and the now proclaimed "water weasel". And, who comes to save the day? Why, it's the brave and mighty Otterchase, of course! The deputy of RiverClan himself, spots her running across the beach in absolute fear, while the "water weasel" is in hot pursuit of her, teeth gnashing and glinting like small little daggers. Upon seeing the horrific scene himself, Otterchase instantly goes after the otter and heroically leaps onto its back, yelling at Ocean to go for its face. In the process of yelling that, the otter almost completely flipped Otterchase off of its back, but thankfully the deputy held onto the creature's tail by the skin of his teeth, which ended up making the poor deputy being dragged through the rough sand. Since there was no time to think of a better solution and obviously seeing that Otterchase was being dragged, the blue molly had obediently spun around and tried to do as the deputy had commanded her, trying to throw away the fear that previously controlled her. She almost drew blood on the first try, but unfortunately failed, causing the otter to be even *more* angry with her than before, making it launch straight for her as she tried to duck away. All three bodies were tossed across the warm sand, as the creature tried to viciously wrestle with Ocean for the fish, its teeth close to snapping away at her face. And what does the brave deputy *do* to help her? He slaps the otter in the eyes with his paws of course! The otter doesn't stand a *chance* at that glorious move, and chooses to retreat back into the ocean, deciding that it wasn't worth the trouble for a measly fish.

On January 19, 2023, when Ocean was three-hundred and eighty-nine weeks old, she helped to assist her adopted daughter, Millie, in giving birth to her three kits--Work, Health, and Love. Ocean was filled with tremendous joy and love as she laid her eyes upon them, promising that she would be the best grandmother that she could for these kits.

## Notable Quotes

"Y-you...r-really k-know...her?" She squeaked, excitedly, glad that he already knew who her mother was. She continued to smile at Tiger Lily, while giggling slightly. "W-who's y-your...P-papa?" ~ Ocean to Tiger Lily

Ocean paused in her walking, turning back to make sure he was okay. Winning didn't matter if others were injured. "Are you okay?" She mewed, with clear concern as she padded by his side now. "Is anything bleeding? Does your paws hurt? Do we need to stop? Because we can if you really are hurt, Bubblebuzz! Do you need any water? Maybe we can find some moss!" The young she-kit continued to ramble on, whole checking every little bit of fur on his pelt, looking for any sign of blood. ~ Ocean to Bubblebuzz

Ocean stared at him, in silence, not expecting him to be so blunt and jump to dark conclusions that she never thought of before. She blinked a few times after a moment. "Who ever said I won't contribute?" She mewed, with confusion and slight hurt. "I do and will contribute. I /want/ to give back to my family for taking care of me, and I don't think my Mama would...throw me out. She's not like that." ~ Ocean to Wreath

Ocean softened a little after a moment, as set down her minnows beside her in the snow, hoping no predator would snatch them away while they were talking. "I know that uncle," She mewed, gently, as she blinked up at him. "From the moment you first told us to look out for any weird creatures or cats when we were out of the den with each other. I haven't lost that sense, I'm still quite aware of our surroundings, but...I really have gained a friend, who really is sweet and taught me very valuable skills which are useful, even when he could have refused to teach them to me. You won't loose me uncle, I promise, but I just want a chance to have a friend and grow to learn new things. I'll always come back to you, even when times get rough, because we're family, and nothing can replace family." ~ Ocean to Bat

"Anytime," She mewed, as she relaxed naturally into her own bright smile, glad she was having fun with Bubblebuzz. It felt nice to have a friend who took time to listen to her and talk to her, one on one and even share some amusement with her. She'd look up to Bubblebuzz like a mentor, seeing him as a cat who she could rely on, despite them having different lifestyles. She bounced a little on her paws, thinking. "You know, you're amazing, Bubblebuzz." ~ Ocean to Bubblebuzz

Ocean gave a nod after a moment, knowing she should be trusting in her brother's capable strength. She laughed in her mind after a moment of thinking, realizing that she sounded just like their father, Bat. Worrying over others rather than herself. Perhaps this was the clearest sign that showed that she really was her father's daughter. She smiled a little. "Sure, but you gotta learn first," Ocean mewed. ~ Ocean to Sandy

She cheekily grinned back at him, seeing what he was thinking. Carp, in her opinion was not only the best, but perhaps the world's most delicious fish! With it being a good sized and tasted way better than any minnow. She pitied the other Clans for not liking fish or living near water, since they were clearly missing out on something amazing. "Carp sounds perfect," Ocean purred, her fluffy tail flicking. ~ Ocean to Bubblebuzz

She slightly saw how he was trying not to cry, even though she thought everyone was allowed to cry, regardless of age or position. She gently pressed herself against him, trying to physically comfort him, maybe even trying to comfort herself, since she never heard of these family members before until now. She had biological aunts and uncles whom she'd never met before, and who had clearly hadn't been seen for a long time and it seemed to really upset her father. "I'm sure you'll see them again soon." ~ Ocean to Bat

Ocean purred with amusement at Bubblebuzz's reaction, as she padded up right beside him, her eyes shining with happiness. "This water is different from the streams and rivers," She mewed, smiling, with a single nod to the foaming, frothy water as it gently lapped at her front paws. She let out a slight giggle as she tried to describe it in her own words, "It tastes...different." ~ Ocean to Bubblebuzz

Ocean had came out silently from her family's den, her legs shaking violently. She could barely gaze at her father without breaking down to tears, who had abandoned them for some cat named Babblingbrook. Her throat seemed to tighten, as she remembered how many memories they had shared together. Was she still his 'little pebble'? Or was she some stranger to him? With a shaky breath, she glanced around and saw how different her adopted siblings were reacting, and it instantly broke her heart. ~ Ocean to Bat

The young blue and gray molly could hear the slightly sad tone that mixed in with her friend's soft voice, and realized that he must have been sad that the dolphins had vanished. She smiled slightly out of comfort and gently laid her dark colored tail on his shoulder, trying to cheer him up. "I bet we'll see them again soon, especially now that the weather has warmed up," Ocean mewed, encouragingly, with a small nod. ~ Ocean to Bubblebuzz

She stayed silent for a couple of moments before answering, twirling the flower in her front paws. "Well, it's because I'd rather not live a life of where I'm always feeling comfortable. Life will not always be fair to me or any other cat, but that's why we learn how to adjust to our situations and try to make the best of it," Ocean explained, after a moment of thought, blinking a few times toward Cerberus, wondering if he understood what she said. "Sometimes the bad things in life canbe turned into a good thing, if you're willing to make it happen." ~ Ocean to Cerberus

"I won't be too sad, maybe just a little worried, because my little boy is growing up, and I know he needs room to spread his wings," She murmured, her voice almost soft, as she stroked one of her paws across his head gently, a small smile plastered across her scarred face. "I won't always be here when you're fully grown up, so making friends will be good for you. I want you to be happy, not living as a shadow beside me." ~ Ocean to Patches

"Oh no, it's quite alright. I like getting to know cats from the different Clans," Ocean assured him gently, once he was done telling his woeful tale, her smile turning into a sadder one, as she quietly sat down near him after a long moment of thinking. She stayed silent for what seemed like moons, before she spoke again, her own ears lowering slightly. "I'm sorry about your parents...it must have been hard loosing them. I also lost my parents, but not in the way that you would think. My father was banished from the island by my older sister, and my mother quickly decided to follow him, knowing she couldn't just allow him to live by himself forever," She murmured, her voice almost quiet as a mouse, as she barreled on, instantly finding herself to be surprised that she was quickly confiding to a RiverClan apprentice. "I had a lot of siblings when I was young. Biological and adopted, and for a time...I was happy. The happiest I've ever been, but as soon as I began to grow up and began to see what happened behind those closed doors of secrecy...did my happy life slowly start to drizzle away, like a leaf slowly sinking to the bottom of a stream. Soon, one by one my siblings either began to die or abandon me...leaving me in both confusion and grief. Even some of my friends had died, and I didn't know what to do with myself. All I kept thinking was, 'If you keep pretending that you're okay, and show it to others, then you won't burden them with all of your problems', and it seemed to work, because I kept that same smile upon my face, everyday since their deaths. Never allowing anyone to see the truth mess that lay beneath my outer shell." ~ Ocean to Sea-snakepaw

As more voices seem to join in the song, Ocean's heart began to flutter with happiness, feeling her spirit rise more and more, as she listened to both the voices and the sound of the rushing sea, tasting the saltinesses of the air. Her breath seemed to come in billows, as she chanted along, never dreaming in her life time that she would be singing on top of a boat! She laughed to herself once more as she rehearsed the next line, her voice proud, "All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her!" ~ Ocean to herself

"I can see your point," She mewed, with a more apparent nod. "I think they do care about us, it's just that they aren't responsible for making our lives easier, when times get instantly tough. Because if they were there to solve all of our problems for us, then we'd never grow as individuals. We'd just constantly ask them for help, while we live in the security of our camps and fellow camp-mates. Really, what I think StarClan is for, is to advise us within these kind of situations and give hope when we're out of it." ~ Ocean to Sea-snakepaw

Ocean barely had any time to properly sit down before her son quickly explained to her what he finally wanted to tell her, leaving behind instant shock and a little bit of confusion. At first Ocean didn't know /what/ to exactly feel within that moment, as she just stared rather blankly at Cosmo, trying to come to terms to what xe was /actually/ saying to her. Xe wanted to leave. To essentially have the chance to spread his wings for once and to explore the world...like she once did. The thought of it immediately terrified her, as she remembered the d=aths of her other two sons, Seagulls and Patches. The lights that were extinguished before they had time to properly become a flame. The sons that she wished were able to meet their younger siblings. She never properly recovered from their deaths...nor any of the other deathes that she had witnessed. A small, trickling breath seemed to escape her, as she blinked properly for the first time in that evening, a breath that she didn't know that she had been holding in. She looked around, expecting to see memories...but instead all she saw was her son. Staring at her expectantly and nervously, as if xe was worried that something terrible was about to happen.  Her soul slowly seemed to deepen as she tried to steadily gaze at her son, a feeling of love and worry filing her heart and mind. Despite her worries and overwhelming past, Ocean knew within her that she couldn't hold her son back from what he truly desired, even if it caused her great heartache. One life ends...another begins. A single tear slipped down her cheek as she realized what she was about to do. To finally let go. A small, bittersweet smile danced along her face, as she finally faced her son, trying to look brave and confident. "My son, you've grown in more ways than you can know. If you wish to explore the world, then I'll support you. In any way I can. If you ever need me or ever decide to come visit, I'll be right here. Waiting. I want you to be safe, but also have the chance to grow and explore things on your own. I trust that you'll make good decisions and have good opportunities along the way." ~ Ocean to Cosmo (8/21/23)

A solemn but familar figure stood about in the crowd, as she secretly listened to the re-told tale of one of her childhood homes, a memory that she hadn't thought about in a very /long/ time. A tear slipped down her cheek as she thought on the words her mother's spirit had spoken aloud, like a poet wanting someone to their cry and to tell them that their story was indeed heard. She wanted to step forward and to call out to her mother to come back and hold her like she once did when she was a child, but the words that she wanted to so desperately speak, seemed to be stuck in her throat, as if the words weren't there at all. A gaping mouth calling out to the void, as her gentle face slowly twisted in grief, realizing that once more that someone that she loved was gone; passing from this life to the next, a simple whisper of mortality. Oh, /why/ couldn't she speak? To at least say some simple words to make her come back? It shouldn't be this hard...right? But the more she tried, the more the words seem to shrivel up in her throat, like leaves on a hot green-leaf day. Grief welled up within her, as she watched her mother slowly disappear among the throng of cats, until she no longer could distinguish her within the crowd. Tears slid down her cheeks as a quiet sob eventually came alive in the air, while a shaky smile of love and grief slowly appeared across the older molly's face, as she stood there with a silent, shaking body. "...This isn't a goodbye mama...it's a see you a later." (Ocean at the Star Festival)

Ocean simply ignored his angry hisses of protest as she continued to walk along at a somewhat brisk pace, making sure to keep her jaws at a suitable high length within the air to make sure that the small leader wouldn’t try suddenly grasping the fish away from her. She certainly didn't want to go through that /again/. "Once again, it doesn't /matter/ if you tell me if you're the leader of RiverClan or some fancy all powerful magician from the Twolegplace. You don't get respect, until you rightfully earn it," She reminded, with a slight edge of sharpness within her tone, a voice that didn't use very often. Her wry smile still seemed to remain on her face however, despite the annoyance that she was currently enduring. "Besides, I don't think StarClan would speak of such a level with you when it comes to pettiness. I've heard StarClan be called many things by others, but one thing that they are not is being purely vengeful. You can count on the Dark Forest for that matter." ~ Ocean to Otterstar

## Opinions on Family/Friends

### **F****am****ily**

Bat [ @soinerli ] (Father): ★★★★★ "Sometimes I feel like there aren't enough words to express how I feel about you Dad, and from the moment I found out that you were my true father, I wanted nothing more than to tell you right away and be hugged within your arms, because I always believed that you would be right beside me throughout it all. And...you were. You were there when I was sad, happy, and even angry. You even went out of your way to learn fishing on your own just so you could repair things between us, and I love that about you. Even when you betrayed your family for Babblingbrook, I always had a special place for you in my heart and I still do to this very day. And even when you had to say good-bye to me and our family, I knew your adventure was *never* really going to be over. It was just the beginning, and I wish you ten thousand more fun adventures with Mom. I hope someday I can become the daughter that you would be proud of, and maybe we'll see each other again at the end of both of our journeys, because if I know anything, you wouldn't want me to be alone."

Dawn [ @rdpndasrawesome ] (Mother): ★★★★★ **(Unknown)**

Cerberus [ @Ceberus\_ ] (Friend/Boyfriend): ★★★★☆ "I love the way you make me feel everyday of my life, even when I'm feeling sad or angry, you're always there for me, no matter what. And, I'm glad to have you in my life, because without you, I would have died that day in the fire, and I wouldn't have known how much you really mean to me. I hope we continue to grow within our love for one another and see where the journey takes us. I love you forever, Cerberus."

Breeze [ @rat\_tearz ] (Oldest Brother): ★★★☆☆ "I wish I had spent more time with him before he died...he was such a sweet and nervous cat, ready to see the world, even if he was scared to encounter it at first. His warm smile would make me happy inside, it made me feel like I was going to be okay, and it reminded me that family would always be there for you."

Seashell [ @SolarStar44 ] (Older Sister): ★★★★☆ **(Unknown)**

Sandy [ @Maple-Storm ] (Youngest Brother): ☆☆☆☆☆ "You honestly need to grow up, and stop making excuses for the actions that *you* did on your own personal account, because quite frankly, you act like a fox-hearted coward. Hiding behind other cats, who you think will make you feel better if you just keep lying to yourself and to others. You once were my brother, but now...you're *nothing* to me. I will no longer tolerate your unjustified and rude behavior towards me or my family ever again."

Cupid [ @adderclan ] (Younger Sister) ★★★★☆ **(Unknown)**

Squash [ @plutoxmoons ] (Younger Brother) ☆☆☆☆☆ *Ocean never got to meet her brother, Squash, due to him dying at early child-birth.*

Acorn [ @myawooga ] (Grandfather): ★★☆☆☆ **(Unknown)**

### **Friends**

Bubblebuzz [ @violent-measures ] (Best Friend/Mentor): ★★★★★ "Thank you for being such an amazing friend and mentor to me after all these moons later. You were one of my first friends that I ever made and I'm glad that I was able to meet you and be taught by you, even though you didn't have to. Even though my dad was a little overprotective, you still remained by my side and were there for me even when I was going through a couple of rough patches. I appreciate you beyond words and I hope that sometime we can go watch dolphins again."
