#### **Official Personality**

Midgedawn is an extremely shy and closed off she-cat. She rarely talks to anyone other than her family and extremely close friends, and when she does speak, it's quiet and squeaky. She has terrible confidence, and is a total doormat, letting anyone walk all over her. However, she's a very kind, sweet, and gentle soul, and if it came down to it, she'd give her life for her family and Clan. She loves to slow down and admire the little things, and although she's anxious and socially awkward, once she opens up she has a sense of humor and creativity.

### **History**

0 moons

Midgekit was born in No Clans' Land, right in the spot her father, Spike, had died. She was born second in her litter, after Kindlekit but before Vinekit. Her grandmother, Mousepelt, helped Morningthorn with the birth. They brought her and her brothers back to ShadowClan camp.

When she was a day old, she was in the nursery, blind and deaf and just wiggling around. Mousepelt was watching her, grieving over her recently deceased mate, Clawlight. Midgekit went over and bit down on her tail, before curling up and falling asleep again.

When she was 3 weeks old, she was playing with her brothers in the nursery. Kindlekit pounced on her, then tripped and fell. She pinned him down, proclaiming that "Kinnykid fall, she win". Kindlekit, however, being much bigger than her, was able to throw her off and pin her down instead. She told him that he was mean. Vinekit came to her rescue, but ended up just flopping down on top of both of them. After she crawled out, she told them that they were both mean and went to play by herself. Vinekit apologized, and just the two of them began to play tag. Kindlekit watched in annoyance. Vinekit and Midgekit got closer and closer to the entrance of the nursery, and soon were at the entrance. They tried to leave, but Loudpaw stopped them. Kindlekit recognized the apprentice, and got excited as Vinekit and Midgekit became scared she would eat them.

#### 1 moon

At 4-6 weeks, Midgekit began to develop more. She could talk normally by 6 weeks, and had really opened up around her family. However, she'd close up around anyone she didn't know.

One day, while her brothers were either asleep or out talking with other cats, Midgekit stayed alone in the nursery. Being quite creative, she decided to come up with an imaginary friend; Buddykit, a sky blue tom with a yellow underbelly, paws, tail tip, and muzzle, along with purple stripes and green eyes. He sparkled in the sunlight, and could sprout wings at any time. From then on, Buddykit was always with Midgekit, acting as her conscience and giving her advice. She loved to play with him, pretending to ride on his back and into the clouds.

During this time, she also loved to play with her brothers - although, primarily Vinekit, who at this point had become her best friend. She liked Kindlekit, too, but he was often too mean or hot-headed to play with. Around this time, her grandmother, Mousepelt, gave birth to her second litter of kits: Stormykit and Shinekit. Midgekit hasn't met them yet, but is excited to see what they're like when they're older.

She also interacted with a few other cats at this time; the warrior Cloudpatch, and the apprentice Icepaw. They were trying to be friendly with her, but felt awkward around her since she was so quiet and closed-off.

2 moons

She's finally able to go out of the nursery. She interacts with more cats at this time, including Shinekit and Cricketpaw, although mostly sticks with Vinekit and Buddykit.

3 moons

Things take a tragic turn when both Morningthorn and Mousepelt go missing. Midgekit is distraught, not knowing if they'd ever come back. One day, she's hiding in the flowers outside of the nursery, and cries to herself while being comforted by Buddykit. A warrior, Spotwhisker, who was also her mother's former mentor, comes over and comforts her. They talk for a while, with Midgekit confessing that she's scared for her mother and grandmother. Spotwhisker soothes her, and promises to look for them. This makes Midgekit very happy, and from then on she thinks of Spotwhisker as a sort of role model.

4 moons

Morningthorn and Mousepelt are still missing. Midgekit wants to escape camp and look for them, eventually dragging Vinekit along with her. Almost immediately, they get lost. When they hear a hawk's cry, they begin to run in a random direction. Midgekit runs through a thicket, causing her to recieve a scar right below her left eye and 2 on her flank.

The littermates eventually end up on ThunderClan territory, where they run into 2 cats; a warrior, Bluerat, and an apprentice, Shellpaw. When the kits are too scared to do much of anything, Bluerat grows impatient and picks up Vinekit, with an intent to bring him back to camp. Vinekit screams for Midgekit to help him, but she's frozen in fear. As Vinekit and Bluerat continue to struggle, Shellpaw tries to get the warrior to put the kit down. After a long, heated argument, the ThunderClan cats eventually decide to just bring the kits back to ShadowClan camp.

On their way home, Vinekit and Midgekit ignore each other. Vinekit was angry that his sister didn't do anything to try and save him, while Midgekit felt awful for dragging him along in the first place. When the group reached camp, they were confronted by a warrior, Applecreek. He was angry that a couple ThunderClan cats just walked right over the border, with a couple ShadowClan kits, no less; and so, he attacked Bluerat. The two got into a fight, ending in Bluerat with a large wound in her side and barely clinging to life.

Midgekit began to feel the weight of the situation after she saw Bluerat lying there, almost bleeding out. She began to blame everything on herself. If she hadn't snuck out, Bluerat wouldn't be dying, Vinekit wouldn't be mad at her, and Applecreek wouldn't have attacked Bluerat. Not even Buddykit was on her side; since he was her conscience, and her conscience told her that she was completely to blame, even he would hold no comfort. Shellpaw tried comforting her the best she could, but it didn't make too much of a difference.

Eventually, Shellpaw and Midgekit said good-bye to each other, and she went back to ThunderClan. However, Bluerat stayed in ThunderClan while she recovered. Midgekit talked with her a little bit, and the warrior told her about how her leg became broken.

5 moons

Mousepelt and Morningthorn returned! Mousepelt was pretty much fine, but Morningthorn had a huge infected gash. Vinekit, Redlark, and Mousepelt were the first to find her as she stumbled into camp. Midgekit was napping, but woke up when she heard the commotion. She went running out of the nursery to see her mom, but she was too late; the queen was already passed out. Mousepelt began to get angry that her daughter's kits were the ones to be taking up her daughter's possibly final moments, instead of her. Midgekit and Vinekit could sense that she was angry, but didn't know why.

Later on, Morningthorn slowly begins to recover, much to the whole family's relief. Midgekit continues on pretty normally with her life, just playing games by herself and with Vinekit, and talking with Buddykit. She also talks to Ash about what it's like to be an apprentice.

#### Midgekit is made Midgepaw, her mentor Conifersun. After the ceremony, she goes and chats with her mentor a bit.

She's selected to the Gathering. She meets Juncopaw, a WindClan apprentice. As they're talking, a purple butterfly flies by. Recalling the story of Furstar's death, where she chased a purple butterfly off of a cliff, Midgepaw grows uneasy, wondering if it's a bad omen. She excuses herself from the conversation and goes off to the side of the clearing, where she sees Shellpaw again, much to her delight; they talk about what it's like in their Clans and the over all news. They agree that they would meet up at the border in a quarter moon's time.

The next morning, she goes and collects moss on a tree near camp for her nest. She returns and builds her nest in the apprenticces' den. Vinepaw walks in right after she finishes, and she offers to help him collect his bedding. He's hesitant, as he is still fearful of the world beyond camp from the incident a few moons before. She helps him build up confidence to go out, and leads him over to the tree. He's terrified, even as Midgepaw does her best to help calm him down. It starts to rain, and Vinepaw uses this as an excuse to go back to camp. Midgepaw begrudgingly agrees. As they're walking, she tells him about her new friends, Juncopaw and Shellpaw, and how he should go to the next Gathering with her to meet them. They enter back into camp. Later that night, the two sneak out into the territory and go stargazing.

Midgepaw goes out and gets a thorn stuck in her pad. She goes to the medicine cat, Ladybugflutter, who fixes her paw. Since she was planning on giving the apprentices basic herb lessons anyways, she begins to teach Midgepaw the basics, such as how to soothe and patch up a wound.

A few days after the Gathering, Midgepaw is sent out on her first solo hunting trip. She moves toward the WindClan border, where she spots Juncopaw crying in a patch of grass. She approaches him and asks what is wrong, and offers to help him. The tom quickly changes the subject, and instead they talk about their Clans and littermates.

A quarter moon after the Gathering, Midgepaw sneaks out to meet Shellpaw on the border. They chat for a bit, then go and shelter from the wind under a pine tree on the ShadowClan side of the border. They then create "PineClan" together, with Shellpaw announcing that she's Shellstar, and naming Midgepaw Midgeconquerer. She goes and collects pinecones for the "Clan". They cloudgaze some more, Shellpaw promising to try and make it to the Gathering with her sister, Sandypaw as well. They have to leave as the sun begins going down.

7 moons

Midgepaw takes Vinepaw to the Gathering with her, hoping to meet up with Shellpaw, Juncopaw, and perhaps Sandypaw, and introduce them to her brother. Vinepaw is nervous, but Midgepaw soothes him. She introduces him to Shellpaw and Juncopaw, and she's happy to see that Shell and Vine get along well.

8 moons

Midgepaw meets up with Shellpaw on the border again, this time playing hide and seek. However, Lilacstem interrupts their game; Midgepaw manages to sneak away without being seen.

9 moons

Midgepaw trains with Shinepaw, but they very quickly stop and just end up talking about how they don't want to be forgotten; Midgepaw confesses that she wants to do something great with her life, and that she wants to be remembered after she dies.

She also finds Juncopaw on the border again; he's grieving over the death of his sister. Midgepaw helps to comfort him. This is also where she learns that he's gotten his warrior name, Juncocrash.

10-11 moons

I was on hiatus so she was just vibing lol

12 moons

Conifersun passes away. Midgepaw wasn't very close with her mentor, but the death still hits her pretty hard. It's the first real loss she'd ever experienced. Gustclaw is her new mentor, and they get along pretty well.

Midgepaw also meets up with Juncocrash on the border a couple times, and realizes she's developed a crush on him.

She meets up with Shellcrest, too, and she confesses her feelings for Juncocrash; Shellcrest had realized that she liked Midgepaw, however, and grows jealous. She becomes brisk, and leaves early, seeming bitter. Midgepaw had no idea why she acted that way, and worries that they would stop being friends.

She also runs into Jaypaw again. He has a thorn in his pad, and she helps to take it out and get him back to WindClan.

She also accidentally runs over the ThunderClan border and bumps into Vexscar, who intimidated the heck out of her. He let her go with a warning, much to her relief.

In this moon, her mother, Morningthorn, had also disappeared. Midgedawn begins to worry and grieve over her mother, missing her dearly. That combined with Conifersun's death, Shellcrest becoming distant, and her forbidden crush on Juncocrash causes her to mentally spiral a little.

13 moons

Midgepaw becomes a warrior! She recieves her warrior name, Midgedawn, from Beetlestar. Her brothers become Vineshade and Kindlespeck. She sort of has a silent conversation with Vineshade during their vigil; she gets spooked by a toad, which Vineshade catches and quickly deposits into the fresh-kill pile before anyone sees, so they don't get in trouble for being dumb during the vigil. But, somehow, they didn't notice that Kindlespeck wasn't at the vigil...

Midgedawn collapses into her new nest in the warrior den, where she wakes up in StarClan and meets Midgeburr again.

During this moon, Midgedawn finds Shellcrest on the border, and they both apologize and make up. They climb a tree and talk about how they wished they were in the same Clan; Midge confessed that she didn't really want to leave her family, while Shell said that she wouldn't be completely opposed to leaving ThunderClan, as she wasn't as close with her family. Shell goes to catch a squirrel and almost falls. They eat the squirrel, then climb down, and both agree that they want to learn how to climb; it sounded like fun, it was a good skill to have, and it would make sneaking away easier.

They realize that Kindlespeck is missing. Midgedawn, Vineshade, and Morningthorn go out to find him, going to his favorite chrysanthemum patch. While on their way there, they see a purple butterfly - a bad omen that makes all of them begin to panic. They find Kindlespeck's body among the flowers. They all grieve heavily; this is Midgedawn's first real loss. She's distraught and blames herself.

14-16 moons

Midgedawn meets up with Juncocrash and Shellcrest a few times, interacts with family, etc. She still has a huge crush on both Juncocrash and Shellcrest.

17 moons

Midgedawn finally confesses her feelings to both of her crushes - and both of them return the feelings. But now, she's confused and unsure of who she should actually ask to be her mate - if either, as both would be against the code.
