## Backstory

### Kithood

Poppykit was born along with her brother Earthkit, to a beautiful queen named Redpool and a strong, busy warrior named Bramblestripe. She had inherited her mother's good looks and her father's amber eyes, and was her parents' favorite child. Earthkit was treated fine, but was not pampered like Poppykit. This quickly developed into an ever-growing need for attention due to all the pampering she got and would throw tantrums when she didn't. Luckily, Redpool was always there to spend time with her, but Bramblestripe was often busy with duties, especially since he had gotten an apprentice.

Poppykit was always the "better child" in her parents' eyes, and this also developed her haughty personality. She constantly told her brother that she was the favorite and much more pretty and just better in general. This hurt Earthkit's feelings a bit, but thankfully Earthkit had spent time with much better cats from being neglected so often that he didn't dwell on it.

Poppykit had a swell kithood, in her opinion.

### Apprenticeship

Poppykit, now Poppypaw, got a warrior called Littlesplash for her mentor. She was very upset that Earthpaw got a cooler mentor, a popular, handsome and kind tom named Wolfcall, but she settled for Littlesplash even though she thought he was a soft, lazy coward. They held a lot of joint training sessions and Poppypaw was very competitive, so much that she injured her brother once. She got in trouble, and was very passive aggressive about that.

She constantly pestered Littlesplash to get attention and he was just tired of her, but managed to train her until she became a warrior.

### Warrior Life

Poppypaw was granted the named Poppytail from the pretty decorations on her tail, as well as her pelt color which was similar to the color of a poppy. Earthpaw got Earthstorm, from his mottled pelt.

When she was fifteen moons old, her mother pulled her aside one day and said that she needed to pick out a mate soon. Fortunately, Poppytail had had her eye on a handsome warrior around her age named Sprucefur, and she practically begged her mother to set her up with him. She complied, and even though Sprucefur had wanted to become mates with another she-cat, his parents set him up with the attractive she-cat as well and they were forced to become mates. Sprucefur was uncomfortable at first, but learned to love Poppytail, who was overjoyed and very clingy to her new mate.

They quickly settled down and had kits from their families' request and Poppytail had one daughter named Gingerkit, after her ginger tabby pelt. She looked a lot like her mother and had her father's green eyes, and she practically smothered Gingerkit with attention as she was as a kit. Gingerkit didn't really like this and was picked on and belittled for it, but Poppytail was clearly oblivious to that. She was overjoyed her daughter had grown up to be such an attractive young lady when she was an apprentice, but was often irritated she was so self-conscious and shy. That wouldn't get her a mate when she grew up at all.

Poppytail watched her daughter grow to be a beautiful young warrior and was very happy with her pretty name: Gingerrose. Not long after she became a warrior though, she started setting her up with other toms to her discomfort, and she rejected them all. This made Poppytail mad and fearful for the future, because who would continue her perfect family if she didn't have kits?

She ended up lashing out against her daughter, yelling at her for rejecting all the toms and acting "aloof". Gingerrose was stunned and seemed to get the message through her head, and when Poppytail saw her daughter staring at a handsome, popular and social tom named Lionfoot, she practically forced her to go after him. She watched her go and was happy to see her daughter taking advantage of the situation for once, oblivious to the fact her daughter was dying inside about this.

She didn't really do anything after that, and just sat around in camp while waiting for her to get back.

## Other

### Additional (and sometimes random) Info

* Poppytail was originally just a normal parent, but I wanted her to be spicy. So I did.
* Poppytail didn't really exist in the original roleplay actually, since younger Shiba wanted Gingerrose to have a more "tragic" backstory. I was such a cringeworthy nine year old.
* Her design was mainly based off of Gingerrose's new design, but more elegant and aesthetically pleasing.
