## History

Flamekit was born to Butterflycatcher in Year 12, along with his sisters, Lightningkit, Fallowkit, Perchkit, and Gardeniakit. They didn't have a father present in the clan, as he was Thunderspirit, a cat from one of the neighboring clans, CreekClan. Once Flamepaw became an apprentice, he said he "couldn't stand the thought of fighting," and expressed his desire to become a medicine cat, being trained under Cinderspeck. He didn't have the best time training, as herbs around the clan were being sabotaged by Silkfur, and he couldn't find anything, as well as missing Fallowpaw, who had been given over to Creekclan as part of some type of agreement. The missing family had only gotten worse as his mother, as well as two of his other sisters, Perchpaw and Gardeniapaw, had died. However, cats did seem to be interested in his growth as a medicine cat this year. He also planned on asking medicine cats from other clans to help finish his training, as both his mentor Cinderspeck, and Swanleaf (the other medicine cat in the clan), had died due to greencough this year. Overall, Flamepaw was a stressed mess, being the only medicine cat after a huge greencough outbreak.

In Year 13, Flamepaw was taken by twolegs in the initial kidnapping that had happened in the beginning of the year, which included the cats: Cinderpetal, Wispbreeze, Brindlehail, Cloudjay, Flaxroar, and Rainpaw. He had gained a dark green collar, with a golden bear on it during his time with said twolegs. He came back in mid-to-late of the year, making a hesitant deal with a rouge, to help him find his way home. He then gained his full medicine cat name of Flamebear, where he could see his mother among the starry cats at his ceremony, and gained a gardenia flower, in honor of his deceased sister. While he was gone, the bloodthirsty Beetlepaw had become a medicine cat apprentice, and Flamebear took over his training when he came back. Despite Beetlepaw acting frustrated and angry with his position, he became much more amiable once Flamebear came back, and was shown to be intently listening to him on several occasions. At the end of the year, he "insisted that everyone ate chamomile leaves at moonhigh." As these are said to be traveling herbs, it was suspected that he was preparing for some of the remaining GalaxyClan cats to "go on a journey to find the remaining lost clanmates."

In Year 14, Flamebear's overall temperament was paranoid and stressed. His first prominent action, was hissing at kits who almost had been bitten by a snake. Notably one of them being Snakekit, a son of Hopefern and Branchdeer. He had been trying to interpret omens, and thought that Snakekit could potentially be involved with it, as he had killed another snake later on. However, he was also questioning if the snake omen had just been predicting the Dark Forest happenings this year. He took on Snakepaw as an medicine cat apprentice, when they desired to, despite disliking him a lot. However, in the midst of all the drama, Flamebear actually gained a reciprocated crush this year, on a newcomer named Sleekclove, who had been rescued by a dog.

## Trivia

* Flamebear is the only male of his 5-kit litter
* Flamebear has only one living sibling in the clan, the compassionate Lightningflight.
* Flamebear is fixed, as he was with the twolegs for longer than three moons, and can no longer have kits.
