Rowanbeam is the first and current deputy of Pineclan under Duskstar's leadership in the Valley Territories. She was born as **Rowankit** to Tigerstar and Dovewing, along with her brother Birchtail.

She helped form Pineclan and took place as the clan's first deputy, taking Turtleclaw as an apprentice and becoming mates with Marsheye.

## **History**

### **Post-New Clan**

Rowankit and Birchkit were always the quiet ones of the nursery, different from their parents and siblings as a kit and not like Cinnamontail's kits. The two kits preferred to stay quietly next to their mother, and many Shadowclan cats thought they might be weak, especially after Rowankit caught a short case of greencough. However, once apprentices became apprentices, they quickly showed their skill and intelligence, becoming the few best hunters in the clan even as apprentices.

Rowanpaw focused herself on the duty of her clan's survival but did find time for enjoyment as she and her brother fit in more with the cats of their clans. Unfortunately, she lost and became acquaintances with Beepaw, a Skyclan apprentice. After that, Rowanpaw's life seemed calm and peaceful, much like the she-cat herself. However, at an emergency gathering, she and all the Shadowclan apprentices were chosen as representatives for Shadowclan, with Cloverfoot leading them to keep the apprentices safe.

Cloverfoot sacrificed herself to allow the Shadowclan apprentices to escape with saddened Rowanpaw. The apprentices slowly began living in the pine undergrowth till they were found by Duskpaw of Skyclan, who convinced them they should form a new clan, Pineclan. Rowanpaw, now Rowanbeam, took the position of deputy and received an apprentice named Turtlepaw. Turtlepaw quickly proved to be quiet but skilled, giving Rowanbeam a sense of pride. However, she and Coldfur worried about Duskstar's leadership and, as deputy and medicine cat, saw it as their duty to keep the clan safe.

## **Personality and Relationships**

### **Personality**

Rowanbeam's interests seem unflawed by pride or fear. She values her clan's survival and safety and makes decisions that almost always benefit the clan. She also prefers to be naturally silent and doesn't talk much, usually only talking when the situation calls for it. However, don't take her solemness for weakness; she is an adept fighter and hunter who is a strong asset to her clan.

### **Birchtail**

Birchtail is Rowanbeam's littermate, the quiet pair of siblings who, especially in childhood, saw their only friends as each other. However, as apprentices, the two strong on their own were invincible, and while they made friends with the other apprentices, they still grew closer. Both siblings still spend time with each other since their apprentices, Talonpaw and Turtlepaw, are siblings.
