## Life

### Kithood

Fernkit was born to her mother Blazingdawn, the Thunderclan medicine cat, in the edge of the forest, only to be pawed off to Blazingdawn’s secret mate, Shellfeather, nearly at once. Fernkit was unaware of her real heritage, and since she looked nearly identical to Shellfeather she always believed that she had no other family, and that Shelly was her real mother. Fernkit was also having somewhat of an identity crisis, due to the fact that she was a reincarnation of Rabbitspring (the first) who had died of a cough and been granted the privilege of having another chance at a good life. Fernkit one day overheard Shellfeather and Blazingdawn arguing and realized that Blazingdawn was her birth mother. She was furious at her mothers for keeping this a secret, feeling as if she had been betrayed, so she ran off to Riverclan where she became friends with Mintflame, a youthful queen who had known Rabbitspring and was later revealed to be her great grandmother, for Mintflame had had a daughter young and her daughter had had a daughter: Blazingdawn. Fernkit also often visited her grandmother Furstream in Shadowclan.

### Apprenticeship

Fernpaw became the medicine cat apprentice of Riverclan when Gorsestar saw how she was drawn to herbs, and quite unskilled in the area of physical combat. She excelled at her job, being known for being level headed and kind, with an iron core. Fernpaw and Shellfeather apologized to each other and once again became close, yet Fernpaw and Tawnypaw often argued, Tawnypaw wanted Fernpaw to return to Thunderclan and Fernpaw not wanting to give up her position as Riverclan medicine cat apprentice.

### Death

Some moons into Fernpaw’s apprenticeship her sister Tawnypaw revealed to her that she was with kits, and Fernpaw supported her. Sadly, Fernpaw was collecting tarnished herbs one day, and died from poisoning, meeting her end the same day as her sister, who's kits died with her. This was a sad end for such a she-cat, but She served her clan well during the course of her life urse of her life.
