## Overview

## Early Life

**GhostToe** was born in the first litter between his parents StoneScar and MoonHeart. **GhostToe** grew up closer to his mother and developed an introvert personality. His parents eventually had their second litter giving him sisters and he became best friends with AdalWolf and SwiftFang.

#### The Path Chosen

While leaving the nursery **GhostToe** bumps into AdalWolf dazing the both of them. AdalWolf apologizes saying he didn't see him, **GhostToe** saying it's okay and agrees to hang out with AdalWolf later but in a panic he leaves as AdalWolf wonders why he's always so scared. In the nursery EmberSnap mentions to her son AdalWolf that it's **GhostToe'**s annual coronation today.

#### Can We Keep Him

Later that day, **GhostToe** sees his father StoneScar return from the boarding party injured. He quickly leaves to get his mother and stays back watching his sisters while she goes to check on his father. He stays watching his sisters until his mother comes back and eventually goes to his family den.

#### Seeing In Your Eyes

Staying in his family den, **GhostToe** is surprised when his friend AdalWolf brings with him the mystery kit Nokue that he's heard throughout the camp. **GhostToe** greets him and tells AdalWolf that he has to go get fresh bedding to the elders and see his mother as she wanted to talk to him. AdalWolf offers him and Nokue to do the bedding chore for him. After some convincing **GhostToe** leaves grateful to them as he leaves. Hours later at nighttime, **GhostToe** and everyone else heads for the coronation. Looking nervous, he lines up with SwiftFang and AdalWolf. After SwiftFang choses hunter, **GhostToe** looks at both hunter and guardian very unsure but quickly says he chooses guardian. In the crowd his parents StoneScar and MoonHeart look nervous at his decision. AdalWolf also chooses guardian and walks over to LashGrowl with **GhostToe** next to their new teacher.

#### First Day Training!

The next morning, **GhostToe** and the others wait for AdalWolf and Nokue to arrive as they're late for training. After they arrive, they line up next to **GhostToe** as he tells them that they're late. He asks Nokue how he's doing when they notice RedHeart catching a fish in the river. The todds all stare at her and listen as LashGrowl says that the new apprentices will need to be taught what the older apprentices already know. HookChomp calls for his apprentices Nokue and SwiftFang as LashGrowl prepares to start their training.

#### A Forgotten Past

After training, **GhostToe** and SwiftFang arrive while Nokue asks **GhostToe** how his training went. **GhostToe** mentions he was too scared to fight anyone and AdalWolf teases him that he curled up into a ball and whimpered. Nokue assures **GhostToe** that after some more training that everyone will be scared of him even AdalWolf. Later that day when RedHeart and SwiftFang leave the river soaking wet. **GhostToe** notices RedHoof verbally lashing at SwiftFang and threating her if anything happens to RedHeart. As he leaves a saddened SwiftFang, **GhostToe** tries to comfort her but SwiftFang growls at him when asked if she's fine. SwiftFang leaves saddened at the way RedHoof treats her and leaves **GhostToe** feeling unhelpful.

#### Remembrance

Two weeks later, **GhostToe** can be see training with FireStone in a sparing match. As FireStone lunges forward pinning the younger todd down, **GhostToe** bites his paw and headbutts his chin. Regaining his composure, FireStone pins **GhostToe** to the ground. **GhostToe** gets scared and surrenders as FireStone apologizing for scaring him. LashGrowl reminds **GhostToe** that he'll never get better if he keeps surrounding every time he's pinned down. **GhostToe** apologizes and gets ready to spare with FireStone again.

#### Who You Are Now

Later that day after the attack **GhostToe** is approaches by his father StoneScar who tells his son how disappointed he is in him for running away from the fight. **GhostToe** cries and apologizes as his mother MoonHeart comes and comforts him telling him he can find a drive like someone to love. **GhostToe** thanks his mother and goes to a sad SwiftFang. He tries to comfort her and she asks him if he'll come with her to hunt by protecting her. **GhostToe** blushes and asks if they can invite some others. SwiftFang invites AdalWolf and Nokue to join them but Nokue goes with the younger kits as he made a promise to them earlier of going to the elders den and listen to stories. A little later elsewhere AdalWolf tries to catch a squirrel but misses, luckily SwiftFang catches a mouse, **GhostToe** smiles at her success as he and AdalWolf go with her back to the tribe.

#### The Hidden Snake

The next day **GhostToe** goes with the rest of his family to say goodbye to his father StoneScar who is going on a border party with the Chief and the other guardians. **GhostToe** nervously says goodbye to his father begging him not to die as that would make him the only remaining male in the family. His father laughs and tries to say goodbye but doesn't and walks away. **GhostToe** watches and becomes upset. As the border party leaves at the second **GhostToe** screams out for SunStrider, he begs the Chief to be allowed to come with them in order to prove themselves and promises that he won't be a waste. SunStrider tells him that he will never be a waste and allows him to come. **GhostToe** is ecstatic for the chance and promises to not let him down. He then takes one last look back to his friends and family and heads into the bushes. Sometime later far away at the edge of their territory **GhostToe** keeps keeps moaning terrified at possibly being attacked by the Skulks at any point. FireStone consoles him saying that he's not scared and tells him to not treat him like a kit as he can handle himself perfectly fine. He then walks off to the front. The group then make it into Skulk territory as SunStrider tells them to be careful going down the rocks. **GhostToe** goes down the cliff with the others but he stops and moves back when one of the rocks seems uneasy. Suddenly the entire group is attacked by snakes as they discovered they are in a snakes nest. They all run as fast as they can as **GhostToe** makes it to safety without any injury. After several moments they find out that SunStrider is missing but a random tod RipFur brings him to the group. **GhostToe** then watches in horror as the tod proceeds to bite off SunStrider's infected leg in order to save his life. When the group argue on what to do with a dying SunStrider and missing herbs **GhostToe** thinks back to the words of encouragement SunStrider gave him earlier and without thinking runs back into the snakes nest to get back the herbs that the Chief desperately needs to live. Despite his father calling out for him to come back **GhostToe** keeps going and makes it back into the snake nest and dodges one of the snakes. He then kicks a rock into one of the snakes killing it and then grabs the herbs. He quickly runs back to the top successful and out of breath. LashGrowl praises his act of courage and his father hugs him asking if he's okay and tells him he could of died. **GhostToe** apologizes to his father saying he was thinking and just did and laughs proclaiming that all his running has finally come in handy. StoneScar laughs telling his son that he's glad he's okay as he would hate it if he ended up being the only make in the family. The group then head back into the Firefly Tribe. While back **GhostToe** is hugged by a relieved SwiftFang who is happy that he wasn't hurt. When AdalWolf asks if it was one of the Skulks that ripped off SunStrider's leg, **GhostToe** tells him that it was a rogue tod that that he did it when SunStrider was bitten by a snake. He also tells AdalWolf that the tod is with his sister WitherRunner and HookScale inside the med den. Hours later at nighttime while waiting for WitherRunner to provide an update on SunStrider's condition,**GhostToe** recounts to SwiftFang how he had no fear holding him back from getting the medicine. **GhostToe** is then cuddled by a proud and relived SwiftFang who tells him that she always knew he had it in him. **GhostToe** returns the cuddle to her as the two of them grow much closer to one another. After WitherRunner and HookScale update the tribe on SunStriders condition and the tod, **GhostToe** along with the others goes back to his family den with his family to sleep for the night.
