Sootwing

Sootwing is a black tom with large, fern-green eyes and a muscular body.

He was born as Sootkit to Jadefeather and Stoneclaw, along with his sister Palekit and brother Kitekit.

A moon after becoming an apprentice, he gained two younger siblings: Ashenkit and Cedarkit, although unbeknownst to him, the two were actually his half-siblings from his mother having an affair.

## History

June 4, 2015 8:06 PM

Sootwing is woken up by Ashensky calling into the den in order to go on patrol. He agrees without argument, going to join the other gathered cats. When they begin to head out, Sootwing can’t help but feel uneasy, choosing to remain at the back of the group to keep watch. Ashensky informs them that they will be going to the AspenClan border, while Sootwing grows annoyed at Sleetstrike flirting with his sister, believing such speech was pointless.

They head towards the AspenClan border, but the tension is broken suddenly when Lightpaw calls out towards an intruder. Ashensky orders Lightpaw to follow, and knowing his sister’s tendency towards aggression, Sootwing races after and comes to stand beside her by the border. He sees other AspenClan cats approaching and feels unnerved at their angry, battle-ready eyes.

A fight breaks out between them and Twilightstorm knocks him off his paws, but Sleetstrike comes in quickly and grapples with Twilightstorm as well. Ashensky eventually calls for them to sheathe their claws, and when AspenClan begins to depart, Sootwing rushes to his sister to make sure she is okay. They begin to walk home, with him asking if she wants him there when she speaks to Shimmerstar, but she doesn’t think it matters much.

Sootwing is working on particular battle techniques before Sunflash approaches him and asks what he is doing. Sootwing explains, making a point that with them lacking prey, it was more important than ever to work hard. Sunflash tells him that he hasn’t had much luck with hunting, and Sootwing offers to help as well.

After finding out that Sunflash had already checked the WillowClan border, they decide to head towards the AspenClan border. Sunflash finds some burrows, and Sootwing questions just how they can flush them out, and Sunflash comes up with the idea to dig above the tunnel to flush it out.

Sunflash ends up doing so and Sootwing grapples with a rabbit as it attempts to escape. He struggles, but the other tom soon comes in to help and the two of them manage to take it down.
