Myrtlepelt is... uh... y'know what, I'm not even gonna try for a description. Myrtlepelt is Murderpelt. She's a crazy scary evil lady who wants the Clans gone. She used to prowl around near OrchidClan's outer borders, but now she’s with Ruby’s army and on her way to wreck some things. Everyone had better watch out. Also, she's one of the five active cats IRP to have killed somebody. And she canonically has a Russian accent. Just so you're aware.

### Kithood

0 moons- born in a dinky lil den to ex kittypet flora & disney villain talon, literally only talon is happy about this

1 moon- gets weaned very early, talon kills flora since she’s not useful anymore, gets named alongside her siblings

2 moons- “training” formally starts, talon demonstrates using prey for them before they practice on each other, it hurts but it makes their dad happy so myrtle thinks its fun, then she realizes its serious when talon kills gardenia for A) being bad at it, n B) not wanting to do it

3 moons- talon starts bringing back live snakes and stuff, myrtle is good at killing them, she also convinces hemlock to try and eat a bee and it stings his tongue and she thinks it’s really funny good job myrtle

4 moons- talon brings them a random (smaller) kit and says to kill it. myrtle kills it. as a test shortly after, talon caves their den in overnight to see if his kits can survive it. they both make it out, so he’s pleased n moves them all into an old fox den (he’d lured the fox out using the bodies of the kit’s parents, then killed the fox too. it’s their food for the next week or so, and the fox’s scent keeps other cats and predators away), one night hemlock confesses to her that he feels guilty abt gardenia n myrtle is like “?????? what, u gonna cry abt it??” it does not go over well

5 moons- talon decides that his kids should have a duel to the death, rip hemlock, talon lets myrtle come w him on hunts now, she only learns the v basics of hunting and medicine

6 moons- leaves home woooo, tries to steal slash’s den, moonmist interrupts before the fight can be settled, she gets led back to orc to have her scratches seen to and promptly gets into a fight w swallowpaw good job, presumably she talked to lavenderstar or smth n decided to give clan life a try, recognizing how there could be survival merit in numbers

### Apprenticeship

6 moons (cont)- app’ed to wheatnose, isnt rlly sure how to feel abt it. she keeps expecting him to try to kill her or throw her in the lilac pool or smth as a test, but he doesnt. she thinks the way the clan cats train is really soft and really stupid and wont accomplish anything. it upsets her how peaceful they are and she doesnt understand why theyre even bothering learning to fight so poorly. she also gets confused in her first training session w peonypaw and gets yelled at for clawing her throat, which she thinks to be rather unfair. moonmist keeps trying (and failing) to be helpful

7 moons- tba, i’ll find stuff for her to have done during this time :p moon gets pregnant & slash leaves her ig? myrtle literally does not care and she does not get why moon’s so upset about it lol

8 moons- foxkit & siblings arrive in orc and moonmist takes them in. myrtlepaw doesnt care much, but she does see them often since she visits moon a lot. again, i’ll come up with more interesting things to have happened eventually.

9 moons- fox & co.’s dad dies. myrtle sort of unintentionally takes an interest in foxkit just bc he handles it differently than his sisters. she talks to him more and realizes that kits are much more impressionable and easier to speak to than adult cats.

10 moons- moonmist’s kits are born, 2/3 are dead. myrtle doesnt rlly understand why its presented as being so tragic, but she does make a genuine effort to be sympathetic since her only sort-of-friend is sad. she comes with moonmist to their graves at the lilac pool once and listens to her sing to them. she does still think it’s dumb, but she actually keeps it to herself for once. good job. also, foxpaw gets apprenticed. myrtlepaw immediately attaches herself to him n becomes his bestie.

11 moons- nothing much, actually. she just hangs out w foxpaw a lot. shes not *great,* but shes not horrible atp. she’s a bit of a bad influence and she gets a little weird whenever he tries to hang out w other cats, but overall she seems to be helping him quite a bit; she makes sure that he’s a good fighter, she covers for him when he has trouble hunting, etc

### Warrior Life

12 moons- bullies apple out, vole’s tail

13 moons- threatens lotuspaw

14 moons- beats up redpaw, borders close down

15 moons- uhhhhh i’ll think of stuff to fill all these moons i swear

16 moons- fox becomes warrior

17 moons- beats up redfire again rip

18 moons- gets into an argument w fox, she’s p awful abt it

19 moons- things are tense, she’s keeping an eye on him bc starclan forbid he Hang Out W People

20 moons- kills seagull, gets exiled good job idiot

### Post-Exile

20 moons (cont)- meets foxpounce later that same night n they have a weird confrontation, she lingers for a bit but the only cat she finds on the border at night after that is thrushthorn one time, they just hiss at each other until myrtle finally gives up and takes off, she finds out her old den w talon has collapsed so she kills some other loner to temporarily use her den instead, then pulls the same stunt her dad did in order to get a fox den, also encounters lunis and gets custody of petrel + tern, she thinks itd be cool to train em up to help her kill some of the orc cats she doesnt like, shes v focused on vengeance rn, but since their mom just died and theyre too sad to do anything she cuts them some slack for like 2 whole days isnt she great

21 moons- does what her dad did and kicks the den down on petrel & tern to see what theyll do and to get a feel for their skills, she’s mad & disappointed when they just flounder around and she has to dig them out, she moves them back into their old badger den home, brings them small animals to kill, they try to run away but come back w aloe instead L, myrtle is ticked but she knows she’ll probably have better luck w a newborn and so agrees to nurse her

22 moons- formally starts making petrel & tern “train” w each other

23 moons- stops hunting for them since theyre 6 moons now, which was also when she hunted for herself; she threatens aloe to make sure they won’t run off

24 moons- shenanigans idk

25 moons- the murderkits fight her and leave 💀 shes super pissed abt it and kills small animals in rage, then wrecks the old badger set and digs herself a new den further away get clowned on

26 moons- comes across a random injured loner fleeing from tlp, he hears her name n tells her abt the army being formed to take down the clans, myrtle is v intrigued by this n lets him have her den, she sets off toward tlp to join the anti-clan cult

27 moons- reaches tlp woo!!! she finds ruby’s army and almost gets executed for having a clan name, but manages to Not Do That and instead gets married to the second in command omg good job???? anyway shes in a silly goofy mood now she wants Blood

**Myrtlepelt:** *"Well, that depends. I won't hurt her as long as she has the sense to* listen *to me."*

*"Don't kill him, obviously. But draw blood. Don't think about it; if you're capable of hurting someone you care about, it will strengthen you."*

*"Don't you* dare *talk back to me — not unless you want another pretty little scar to go along with the one on your neck."*

*"Wise little rat. You can recognize danger when you see it."*

*"So, it's you and me now. Are you going to curl up into a ball, or are you going to face your fears, hm?"*

*"Reflexes are everything, you know. (...) Hiding won't make the pain stop. I’ll keep doing it until you show some sign of aggression, little rat."*
