Current

Darkwhistle is a 80-moon-old, dark gray tom, with lighter gray markings on his back, shoulders, legs, tail and face. He has blue eyes and the 'Bold' personality, and is incredibly clever.

## History

Darkkit was born during year 8, as the kitten of Fernheart and Mintsplash with his littermates, Eaglekit and Mintkit. He became an apprentice this year, with Brightmask as his mentor. As an apprentice, he had the 'Shameless' personality. On his first patrol, he caught a rabbit, and was excited to bring it to his mom right away, who was still in the nursery that time. He also spent a patrol talking about nothing else but his love life, even though he was only 8 moons-old.

During Year 9, Darkwhistle graduated and gained his warrior name, as well the trait 'Incredibly clever'. Towards the end of the year, he just became mates with the sneaky Lightfoot. The two of them were little troublemakers, like Oakspring and Mothblaze were. Darkwhistle's siblings were a little concerned, thinking that Lightfoot was a bad influence on him. Darkwhistle was the least hurt by Mintsplash's actions on the outside, but after everything, he went to his former mentor, Brightmask, who comforted him through the conflicted feelings he was having. Fernheart told him to treat his mate well and be a kind mate, but also told him to come straight to her if Lightfoot is ever mean to him, as she is always there for her baby.

At Year 10, during the battle against SharpClan, he was running to help his siblings in their fight, seeing them struggle, but he was ambushed by the young apprentice, Deadpaw. Darkwhistle tried to shake him off and told him to leave, but the apprentice wanted to fight. Darkwhistle didn't wanted to hurt the apprentice, and got attacked by Goldfish, while he was distracted. He managed to run away, and Bristlethroat prevented Goldfish from chasing him. This year, Darkwhistle also became a dad. He had a soft spot for younger cats, which was shown well in the SharpClan battle, where he refused to fight Deadpaw. He was also seen playing with Oakspring's and Mothblaze's kittens, and probably decided that he wants some, after seeing them. He also got on the nerves of some cats on how effortlessly he managed to catch prey, when seemingly he wasn't trying on patrol. He was having the time of his life this year, being a dad, Brightstar dating his mom, which he loved Brightstar, so this was amazing to him. He was also super excited to have younger siblings, and was happy that his mom had more genuine smiles. He also got his own apprentice, who was sneaking away on their own patrols, while Darkwhistle was playing with kits. His apprentice was Pouncepaw, and on their first patrol, they chased out a rogue.

At Year 11, during the fire, he ran towards the flames with his brother, Sagedust, to find Hopekit, their younger sister from Fernheart's second litter. Unaware of Eaglestrike's fate, who unfortunately fell into the flames while looking for Hopekit, the two of them found Hopekit on a rock ledge, that she couldn't get up to by herself. Sagedust immediately grabbed her, but as he was leaving, more flaming debris fell. Sagedust's leg was trapped, and flames were rising all around him. With desperation, he threw Hopekit to Darkwhistle, who teared up as Sagedust told him to leave before the fire gets them. Darkwhistle ran away crying, and found his kit, Pantherpaw, followed by Moleshade, who was dragging Moonpaw, who passed out. Pantherpaw explained that Moonpaw got trapped in the apprentices den, and Moleshade got him out. Pantherpaw then took Hopekit, and Darkwhistle supported his kits and Moleshade to safety, praying to StarClan. This year hit him very hard, as both of his siblings died in the fire, and he had to leave Sagedust behind, then he had to help his unconscious son, Moonpaw, who later died as well. He was suffering from nightmares, and was staring off into space often after the events. Luckily, he still had Lightfoot, and she helped him feel valued when he had a plan to get more prey. Darkwhistle also felt like no one understands him like Lightfoot does. After Lightfoot gave birth to their second litter, Darkwhistle was doing a bit better and felt a bit happier again.

During Year 12, his personality changed from 'Shameless' to 'Bold'. His mate, Lightfoot became mates with Swanleaf as well, and the two of them had their own litter, with the help of a surrogate from outside the clan, named Oriole. Darkwhistle got along well with Swanleaf, went out on patrols with her and helped her find lungwort, which he had a talent for, and he didn't seemed to have any jealousy towards Lightfoot being mates with both of them. He was given nettles to wear from Bristlethroat, while she was still around. He still did seemed to suffer from nightmares, once he ran out the den freaked out and ready to battle, but realized that it was just a storm. He seemed to take the death of his mate and two of his kits pretty hard, and he declared that he wanted to be a mediator, the moon after the tragedies. He also adopted Lightfoot's and Swanleaf's kittens, Weaselkit and Beetlekit, after their mothers passed away.

In Year 13, Darkwhistle's adopted daughter Weaselkit was taken by a hawk

In Year 14, *Coming Soon*

## Trivia

* During the video about year 8, Nyoko stated that she pictures Darkpaw as the type of cat who would 'walk up to his dad, and then just tell him that he sucks right to his face while he's smiling sweetly, and immediately leaving'
* During year 11, after the fire, Darkwhistle might have developed PTSD
