## **History**

### **Paws of Stars**

#### **Rising Sun**

She was born Sunstar and Frostheart. Frostheart lets Summerkit stay with Sundream, being fostered by Fallenstreak before they leave. Summerkit looks a little nervous, but when she sees the pride and joy in Sunstar, she sees her father is proud of her and stands tall as she is named Summerpaw. She is surprised when she gets Elmflight as an apprentice but trusts that her dad made a good choice smiling.

Shortly after the apprentice ceremonies, SunClan split into patrols and shared tongues. Sunstar heads out with Elmflight, Summerpaw, and Goldenleaf to collect herbs and let Summerpaw get some practice. Elmflight, while noticing Summerpaw isn't the best fighter, even as he carefully explains, respects how hard she is trying and slightly improving. Out of the bushes, Lightningpaw, Sunstar, Elmflight, Goldenleaf, and Summerpaw rush into the clearing, shocked and trying to help around.

Winterpaw charges into Sunstar's flank, trying to get the leader off her mother; Summerpaw, the leader's daughter, pounces on her, and as they are about to strike each other, both Sunstar and Frostheart move and stop them. Eaglestar finally pushes off Elmflight and yowls the battle is over, he exposes the truth of Summerpaw's and Winterpaw's parentage being the kits of both Sunstar and Frostheart, to the shock of Foxpaw and Lightningpaw, as well as any cat who joined after the Severance.

He offers an ultimatum, Summerpaw will stay in EagleClan for a few moons being mentored by Frostpaw, and Winterpaw can stay in SunClan for a few moons. if either one likes SunClan or EagleClan more or decides to go back to their original Clan after their first gathering, they could go. Sunstar doesn't know how to respond, but Eaglestar can tell through his eyes that the leader agrees.

Eaglestar sighs and tells Summerpaw to follow them. She is shocked, and as she looks at her father, she only sees remorse in his eyes as they leave the shocked and blood-soaked camp. Low growls and hisses can be heard as the SunClan and EagleClan cats sit on opposite sides of the clearing, and only the apprentices Lightningpaw, Foxpaw, Summerpaw, and Winterpaw stick together. Winterpaw and Summerpaw spent the entire gathering talking as Winterpaw admitted the thick shrubbery and tree-climbing ways of SunClan felt weird. Summerpaw also said having such freedom in open plains makes nights way colder than before as they laugh.

## **Personality and Relationships**

### **Personality**

Summerpaw is a ray of sunshine. Summerpaw has always been a kind cat and was always so kind, loving, and caring to all, being her father's golden joy and being SunClan's princess. Summerpaw is very likable and makes friends easily where she goes, though some of her friends can make her more of a trouble maker than anything and she likes to goof around more than she let's on to other cats. Summerpaw loves stories, and when not listening to them, she likes telling them and is somewhat of a romantic cat who likes an idolized life but knows when to stop daydreaming and pay attention. Summerpaw is a pretty skilled huntress coming from a long line of them with her favorite prey being cardinals which she will always be the first to take from the fresh kill-pile when possible.

### **Lightningpaw**

Summerpaw is Lightningpaw's friend; Summerpaw and Lightningpaw have been close since kithood. They grew together, with Fallenstreak nursing the newborn kit with her newborn kit when Frostheart left after the Severance. Summerpaw quickly started to fall for Lightningpaw's bold and fearless personality, yet his caring and kind nature, and anytime they were playing games or doing anything where she felt left out or scared, he stopped and made sure she was okay. On the other hand, Lightningpaw sees Summerpaw as a kind angel, likes her sweet and caring personality as irresistible, and stands up to anyone who ruins or puts Summerpaw in a bad mood. Despite these mutual feelings, both seem unable to speak up about their feelings despite a certain ginger cat and a certain black and white trying to make them see clearly.

### **Foxpaw**

Summerpaw is one of Foxpaw's best friends; Foxpaw and Summerpaw are as close as sisters without being blood-related. Foxpaw knows her brother sees a sweet angel in Summerpaw. Foxpaw knows that she's got thorns and loves to gossip with Summerpaw about anything they find out, and both take pride in being the leader's and deputy's kits. Summerpaw is more rowdy when with Foxpaw, and both love to bring out the wild in each other. Foxpaw usually takes the fall when she and Summerpaw get in trouble either with Fallenstreak or Sunstar himself, mischievously smiling after promising to behave. Foxpaw wants to help Summerpaw and Lightningpaw together, but she wants it to be in an action-packed way, not romantic as Foxpaw doesn't and has never cared for romance, even though Summerpaw is a clear romantic.

### **Sunstar**

Sunstar is Summerpaw's father; for a long time, Summerpaw and Sunstar only had each other after Frostheart and Winterpaw at the time Winterkit left. Summerpaw takes a lot after her father, being named after him by her mother; she has his kind and caring side, being more of a lover than a fighter while still having his sometimes sharp attitude. Sunstar was a very protective father, as Summerkit was all he had at the time, and he spoiled her way more than she should have, which placed her in the role of SunClan's princess. Sunstar good values in her; both have a genuine, strong father-daughter relationship.

### **Goldenleaf**

Goldenleaf is Summerpaw's aunt; Goldenleaf is the cat who ensured Sunstar's spoiling didn't go to Summerkit's head. Summerkit often went to Goldenleaf, who liked telling her stories of the former Clans and about Goldenleaf's father, Roaringlight. Goldenleaf acts like a foster mother to Summerkit and is always there if she is sad or feels left out in anything, she spoils Summerpaw somewhat but doesn't admit it even though she can see it's there. Goldenleaf is the cat Summerpaw respects and has never been disrespectful or rebellious and is kind of scared of the workaholic medicine cat.

### **Winterpaw**

Summerpaw is Winterpaw's sister; Summerpaw and Winterpaw didn't even know the other existed till a battle, which Winterpaw didn't know was to gain Summerpaw back. At first, both siblings seem like opposites, with Winterpaw being aggressive and not getting close to others easily while Summerpaw is kind and very open to others. However, if any cat tries to insult one of them, the other will stand by them quickly; both sisters have a feisty personalities together and love talking about how weird and wild their family is. Gatherings are the best time of the moon for them as they spend almost every second of each gathering they attend talking, gossiping, or just being around each other and growing into the close siblings they would have been if not for circumstances.
