## History

Palekit was born to Violetstar alongside his sister, Morningkit. He preferred to listen to elder stories and was very timid as a kit. He had a fairly average kithood.

He was apprenticed to Dewfur and was named Palepaw. While exploring the territory, he noticed two kittypet kits on the Smogpath. Noticing a monster nearby, he scooped them up and brought them off the Smogpath. They were brought back to ValleyClan and named Brightkit and Skykit. Due to his bravery, Palepaw was able to go to the gathering that night, along with Morningpaw.

Palepaw was very nervous at the gathering. Violetstar introduced her to IcyClan friend Alderstrike and her kit, Breezepaw. Breezepaw and Palepaw instantly clicked, becoming friends quickly.

One night, he woke up early and noticed Morningpaw bleeding in her nest. He woke her up so she can get her wounds treated. He witnessed her murder Emberblaze. He was terrified in that moment, letting out a howl of anxiety, which woke up the clan.

When Morningpaw went to bury Emberblaze, Palepaw decided to follow her. She saw her making a deal with Rowanbird to let him lead rogues to their territory. Palepaw thought he was hidden, but Morningpaw noticed him. She decided not to say anything.

A few days later during a rogue attack, Morningpaw tried to kill Palepaw due to him knowing too much. He pleaded for mercy and she granted it for a price. He had to kill cats for Morningpaw, acting as a hitman. He reluctantly did so, rarely questioning her.

He soon earned his warrior name, Paleheart. He became closer with Breezepaw, who was now Breezefur. He started developing feelings for her. One gathering, she reveals that Stemtail, another IcyClan warrior, asked her to be his mate and she reluctantly agreed, not wanting to hurt his feelings. Paleheart became enraged but hid the feeling.

Morningeyes tells Paleheart to kill Stemtail and he happily does it. In the middle of the night, he manages to sneak into IcyClan camp and kill him. A few moons later, Breezefur reveals that she has feelings for Paleheart and asks him to be her mate. He happily agrees. Eventually, she starts expecting his kits. She reveals that IcyClan thinks the kits are Stemtail's.

Breezefur has a single kit. She names him Missingkit since he'd be missing his father. Morningeyes feels like the kit and Breezefur are distracting him from her plans. So, she kills them, which drives Paleheart to mindlessly do what she asks in fear of his other loved ones getting hurt

He becomes deputy, but only for a short while. Morningeyes tells him to kill Violetstar. Paleheart decides that if he becomes leader, he can exile Morningeyes, freeing himself. The plan backfires, as Violetstar had two lives left. When he is kicked out of her den, Morningeyes kills him, knowing he would be exiled if she didn't.

Due to him not having remorse for killing Stemtail, he was sent to the Dark Forest. When Morningstar died, she gave her place in StarClan to Paleheart to make up for all she's put him through. The Council of Stars later decides to let them both stay in StarClan.
