Squirrelflight

## Summary

Squirrelflight is a russet-colored she-cat with green eyes. She is the current ThunderClan deputy under Brightstar's leadership.

Squirrelflight was born to Firestar and Sandstorm in ThunderClan. She was an energetic and playful kit and her personality didn't diminish when she became an apprentice under the mentorship of Dustpelt. She would often wander off of patrols or hunting lessons with her mentor, making nearly all her clanmates annoyed with her. Eventually, she discovered Brambleclaw's involvement in the prophecy sent by Midnight and traveled with the group in order to find her. She grew close with the other apprentice on the journey, Crowpaw, as well as becoming better rivals with Brambleclaw. When they returned from the journey, Squirrelpaw helped lead the clans to the lake territories. She later earned her warrior name as Squirrelflight alongside the newly named Crowfeather during the journey to the lake. She grew even closer with Crowfeather, and soon they started seeing each other in secret once the clan's established their borders. The two were conflicted on where their loyalties lied, but eventually decided to go different ways and stay in their respective clans. She later found out she was expecting kits alongside finding out her sister, Leafpool was seeing the RiverClan healer and also expecting kits. The clan soon found out and assumed that Brambleclaw was the father, even though the two of them were never mates. Leafpool told her she was going to leave to bare her kits, and Squirrelflight decided to go with her. Firestar was hesitant to let her go, but Brambleclaw vouched for her so she let the two she-cats go. Squirrelflight bore her litter first, a single kit which she named Hollykit. Leafpool did afterward, naming her two kits Lionkit and Jaykit. Squirrelflight took the kits in as her own when they returned to help hide her sister's secret. She never revealed her sister's secret until Ashfur cornered her and the three in the fire, later learning that Hollyleaf killed Ashfur to keep their secret. She became mates with Brambleclaw after the Great Battle and bore his kits, Alderkit and Sparkkit. She was killed briefly in the rock-slide, but StarClan allowed her to go back. She fought against Ashfur in the Battle of the Mist and later took over the deputy position once Brambleclaw became too unstable to do his duties any longer.
