## Detailed history

Quickstep was born half-way through Alderstar 's leadership and has remained a ShadowClan since. When he was born, he was always very sick and could barely move. Later when he became an apprentice, he found out that he was always so sick because of his power's negative effects, when he thought about it he remembered that everything seemed slow all the time when he was a kit. He was mentored under a cat named Lightstep, she was a great mentor and a mother figure to Quickpaw, although she was without powers, he felt she understood him. Quickstep finally embraced his power when Lightstep was getting brutally ravaged by a dog. Seconds before she died, Quickstep launched at the dog and everything slowed down, Quickstep was in complete control and filled with tears he killed the dog. He recoiled back to where he was and he felt emotions, pain, nausea, no coordination and sadness. Quickpaw was sad that he had lost both his mom and mom-figure but when Pinestar gave him the name Quickstep, he wore it with pride. As a warrior he participated in many battles. He didn't agree with Pinestar's decisions but he was happy when Nightstar and Dawnstar led. Quickstep would later on have many faults in life, and many goods.

During the fire, Quickstep was assigned to save as many people as possible and he did so successfully saving Heavystar and Nightstar from it as well as many others. During the flood he was against Nero and disagreed with his ways. When those faithful to Nero and of ShadowClan attacked him and the others. He fought valiantly, attempting not to harm those who are merely following Nightstar's orders. When Hawkeyes defeated Nero and the flood starting ruining Quickstep's home, kithood and apprenticehood. They had to leave. Quickstep saved as many as he could, even successfully helping to restore Nightstar's shattered mind. He saved Bearclaw from darkforest and stopped Maplefrost from escaping ShadowClan. He rescued Feathershine from the darkforest.

After all of his battles and roughness, Quickstep has decided to step down, not from his warrior duties, but to live a little. He asked Greenbriar to be his mate and Greenbriar accepted to Quickstep's happiness and joy. They then adopted a lot of kits who have no where else to go, such as Nightpaw, Frogtoes, Pollenpaw, Marshclaw, Kitepaw, Sweetpaw, Finchpaw and Dandelionpaw, with his former kit Blackberry going to StarClan. Quickstep is living a mostly peaceful life now and shows love and affection for not only his kits and Greenbriar, but unconditional love for his clan too.
