## Life

### Childhood

~6 MOONS

Frond meets a she-cat named Dawn. She invites Frond to her den and catches prey for her. They share it before heading out to find berries. They gather some blueberries and head back to Dawn's den, where they say goodbyes.

Frond follows a voice in the forest and finds a kit named Captain. He boasts a bit and then tells her a story. They talk about his past for a while. Frond leaves when Captain thinks he hears something in the undergrowth, but it turns out to just be a rabbit.

Frond stumbles across another young she-cat named Diamond while playing. They go looking for pretty rocks and Frond learns she used to be a kittypet. They talk about how Diamond's been adjusting and how Frond's life has been in the forest. They talk about the clans for a while before Frond has to leave.

~7 MOONS

Frond stumbles over Bridge-bell while he's sunbathing. Since he had scented a badger, they go back to their den. Frond was tired from staying up all night and Bridge-bell convinces her to sleep, then goes off to find the badger. Frond wakes up to find him gone and searches for him, finding him facing off with a badger. The badger claws her hind leg before she can scramble up a tree, Bridge-bell in tow. They rest up there for a while before they head back to their den and promptly pass out. Bridge-bell treats their wounds the next morning.

Frond sees Dawn again. They talk for a bit, and then go searching for flowers to decorate Dawn's den with.

~8 MOONS

Frond comes across Diamond again while they were playing in the leaves. They talk about how Diamond moved into Pig's Place and she shows Frond the camp, where they run into Acorn. They talk a little bit, and Frond tells them about how her siblings want to join Pig's Place. Acorn tells her that there is room. Then Diamond gives Frond a tour of the camp. - in progress

Frond talks to Dip for a bit about possibly joining a rouge group before they relax and fall asleep.

Frond is chasing a rabbit when she runs into Leaf. They end up doing a little sparring before talking, and then Frond has to leave.

Frond jumps in the stream, and after she gets out, she meets Snow. They both decide to go hunting and they catch some prey.

Frond leaps on a cat named Firefly while out for a walk. They talk for a bit before going to a stream to go fishing. Frond catches her first fish and they share it before parting ways.

Frond goes on a walk late at night and comes across Destiny. They decide to go hunting. They manage to catch a few voles before deciding to leave.

Frond is trying to find some prey when Alder finds her. At first, Frond isn't so sure about her, but they go hunting, and she starts to warm up a bit. They catch a rabbit and share it in Alder's den, and Frond confesses her experience with the badger to her. Alder understands, telling her about how her parents were killed by dogs. Eventually, they both fall asleep.

Frond is sleeping when Sage runs into her. They go and climb a tree to hang out. Sage gets dizzy, and she has to fall out of the tree onto a pile of soft stuff Frond gathered. They're both glad no-one got hurt, and agree to meet up every moon to climb trees.

Frond comes across Firefly again. Firefly has a thorn in her paw, the poor gal. They don't do anything about it though, because neither of them know how. They go climb a tree, and have a moment when Firefly talks about why she tries to act mature. Then the branch breaks, and both she-cats fall. Frond lands on her side and only gets bruising, but Firefly's leg is bleeding. They take care of it, and then talk for a bit after playing in the stream.

9 MOONS~

Frond woke up to find snow, and thought the stars had fallen. Bridge-bell teased her a bit about it. Frond goes hunting with him after he said he wanted to go. They talk about possibly joining Pig's Place before a cat comes walking by. They get startled and hide. Bridge-bell brings up WindClan longingly. The RP ends with Frond feeling guilty and a little betrayed.

Frond sees Captain again. He tells her a made up story of his adventures, and she buys it. Then Frond tells him that she and her siblings are probably going to be joining Pig's Place soon. He doesn't seem to like the idea, so she asks why.

Frond is freaking out over faint badger scents when she stays up all night, not realizing that there isn't any badgers nearby. Leaf finds her and she stops crying, but is still exhausted.

Frond meets Clematis and tries to talk to her, but she is shy and doesn't really talk back. This makes both of them feel awkward.

Frond finds Firefly sick under a bush. She feels guilty, thinking that she caused the sickness by breaking the branch where Firefly injured her leg. She ends up hunting a jay for her, which turns out to be her favorite food. They share it together. Then they give each other nicknames and Frond falls asleep.

Frond talks with Captain again, but the conversation doesn't last long before he has to leave.

Frond finds Kiwi crying, and she learns about how her loner group isn't doing well.

10 MOONS ~

Frond finds Firefly after she catches a rabbit. Frond suggests they go see the frozen pond, and they do. Then Frond decides to go on the ice, because she's full of bad ideas. Firefly follows, because you can't leave your bestie to die alone, right? Anyways, the ice cracks, Frond gets to shore but Firefly falls in. Frond gets Firefly out, but has a little mini breakdown because it's her fault. Now that I think about it, she's indirectly caused a lot of injuries to friends and family rip. Anyways they go and cuddle in her old den because yes.

And then I got lazy and didn't RP as much for a while, as well as didn't write down what happened. I'm pretty sure she RPed with Firefly at least once during this period?

Frond comes across Dawn and learns she's pregnant. They talk a bit.

Firefly finds Frond sleeping in the snow, and is rightfully concerned, but Frond brushes it off. Firefly mentions how she saw her parents and a small kit with them, causing Frond to worry. They go hunting in a abandoned twoleg den I think, pretty much the whole way there Firefly is trying to know what's bothering Frond, but she still won't say. They catch two mice before parting ways.

Frond comes across Dawn again, but she had kitted by then! Frond asks about the kits. They end up going hunting, and Frond makes a rabbit run and they lose it, so she feels guilty about that. But then she catches a squirrel, so it's all good. They part ways after that.

~ Okay, so I'm not going to be updating this any longer, at least for now. I'll probably still add pictures and maybe update relationships. ~

32 MOONS ~

She hadn't meant it to be this way, of course. Frond had strolled down to the beach, hoping to get Dawn off of her mind ( as awful as that sounded ), hoping to maybe have some fun. The water caressed her paws, almost welcoming her as she walked where the sea kissed the beach. She'd went in a little deeper, not completely minding how the cold water was a shock. It wasn't like it was her first time swimming, after all. She was used to the simple currents of the streams that threaded their way through the Edge of the Forest, and hadn't thought the ocean would be any different. So she went deeper, letting her pads leave the soft sand below her so she was swimming. She mostly let the water take her where ever, moving just enough to keep her head above the water, allowing herself to zone out. She was forcefully brought out of her thoughts, however, by the pull of a strong current, making her lose whatever balance she had and sweeping her out farther into the sea. At first, she panicked, choking on the salty water that invaded her jaws as she thrashed against the waves. But she soon grew weary, and the liquid weighed her down, pulling her under. Once more, she struggled, breaking the surface again before going back under, a cycle that repeated itself a few times. As exhaustion forced her limbs still, the cold seemed to pierce her skin, bringing with it a morbid calm. She allowed her burning eyes to close for the last time, sinking deep into the dark.
