**Rosepaw** is a tortoiseshell and red she-cat with amber eyes.

**Rosepaw** is currently an apprentice of ThunderClan in the lake territories. She was born as **Rosekit** to Fallingstone and Daypetal in ThunderClan with her siblings Smokekit and Wolfkit. Her father separated from her mother soon after she was born, as Fallingstone did not have an interest in kits and Daypetal was upset that he didn't want to be in their lives. Currently an apprentice, **Rosepaw** is mentored by Spottedleg.

Rosepaw, alongside Wolfpaw and Smokepaw, hope to become respected warriors, and despite their differences and doubts, they still remain the best of friends. Rosepaw also befriended Honeypaw, who helped her come out of her shell and bit and get more comfortable with others. She currently has a bit of a rivalry with Stormpaw.

## History

### *Starfall: On Winds of Change*

> "I've found that holding grudges just takes more of a toll on you than it does the other cat. Not only is it exhausting, but it's useless."

> Rosepaw to Honeypaw, *On Winds of Change*

Rosekit was born to Daypetal and Fallingstone along with her siblings, Smokekit and Wolfkit. Her father and mother shortly split after their birth due to Fallingstone's reluctance to take care of his kits. When a badger attacks the ThunderClan camp, Blackhawk defends the nursery from the animal. During her kithood, Rosekit gets to know Thicketkit and Graykit. Rosepaw is apprenticed to Spottedleg alongside her siblings. She works hard to become a warrior, and to overcome her own anxiety and shyness. She also befriends fellow apprentice Honeypaw and forms a rivalry with Rabbitpaw and Stormpaw.
