Mistletoepaw

Mistletoekit was born in a litter of three kits to a single WindClan queen named Snowflakehoney. Mistletoekit and her brothers, Reindeerkit and Wintergreenkit, were born during the second Great Journey, on The Blackwater. Mistletoekit spent her early days soaking up the warmth of her siblings and the sun, while been cooded and cuddled by a proud, protective Snowflakehoney. From the moment she was born, Mistletoekit was loved and adored by her young mother, as well as her recently widowed grandmother, Creamstar.

As the boats docked and the voyage came to a close, Mistletoekit became familiar with the ocean and the soft white sand of the new continent's beaches. She spent her first few moons playing with her brothers on the soft terrain, splashing in the tidepools, joined by the kittens from the three other Clans. She eventually learned she had a sensitive stomach, when she was dared to eat a rotting fish by Wintergreenkit. Of course, the little kitten did, and became sick, but quickly bounced back. Mistletoekit enjoyed the moments she got to spend on the beach, and misses the soft white sand.

WindClan moved itself to a hot desert, resorting to a underground cavern for a camp. Mistletoekit was suddenly frightened by the dark, damp cavern, and spent a few weeks in an odd depression, relying on her brother, Reindeerkit, to pull her out. Together, they helped illuminate the dimly-lit nursery, and hung vines from the rooftop and strung lily petals into nests. Mistletoekit and Reindeerkit formed a close bond, and started to considered each other their very best friend.

Despite becoming comfortable to the cave, the general emotion of the Clan became dark and dreary. Things took a wrong turn when the Clan's senior medicine cat, Thrashercloud, along with a crew of supporters, including cats such as Mistletoekit's aunt, Hydrangeacrown, and the other Clan medicine cat, Journeydelta, rebelled agaisnt Creamstar. Mistletoekit started to throw a fit, and tried to reach her grandmother, but was unsucessful. Reindeerkit reached her, though, and was able to calm her. Mistletoekit was very, very thankful for her big brother that night, though she later learned that her beloved grandmother had passed away, and Thrashercloud had been exiled.

Despite being heartbroken and distraught, the world moved on. Reindeerkit and Mistletoekit comforted each other, and were eventually apprenticed, alongside their brother, Wintergreenkit. Mistletoe was given Lucenthaven, a newly made warrior, as her mentor. Though, Lucenthaven panics and instead, his mother, Gravelsky, takes on the duty of mentoring Mistletoepaw. Mistletoepaw is uncertain at first, feeling rejected and upset, but cheers up. She and Gravelsky get along, and Mistletoepaw is happy with her mentor.

Even though the feline was told to avoid leaving camp alone, Mistletoepaw ignores her leaders orders and leaves camp in the midst of the night to explore the new land. She encounters a juvenile coyote, which strikes her leg. The molly races away in fear, ending up at the RiverClan border. Hungry, wounded, scared, and alone, Mistletoepaw spends a few days by a brook, slipping in and out on consciousness. It isn't until late one evening, when she is discovered by her big brother. Reindeerpaw attempts to help her to camp, but she protests. Eventually, she gives into her brothers reasoning, and lets him assist her home. Once they return to camp, she falls asleep in her brother nest, thankful to have Reindeerpaw once again.

Over the next moon, Mistletoepaw is treated by Journeydelta and learns how to walk again, but is left with an ugly scar down her left back leg and a slight limp. She is behind on her warrior training, but Gravelsky is helpful and understanding. Mistletoepaw and Gravelsky work on hunting and keeping her bad leg in shape.

Mistletoepaw and her aunt, Corollahaze, spend time hunting together in the rain. Mistletoepaw enjoys spending time with her aunt, and is excited to meet her new little cousins.

Time passes, and Mistletoepaw continues her training. She’s late a few times, one time completely forgetting about training and striking up a conversation with Sunflowerpaw, her den mate.
