## History/Family

The Place Of No Stars/Dark Forest (Current)

ForestClan (Former)

Russetwood was born as Russetkit to **Leafwillow** and **Bramblespark**. As a kit, before her mother's abuse, she was an energetic, trouble-making she-kit. Her mother, Leafwillow, began to grow mentally ill after Bramblespark's death. Because Russetkit looked so similar to him, Leafwillow began neglecting her and abusing her. Leafwillow even gave her her iconic left eye scar.

### Portrayed by

Hail/Ew a skunk

As an apprentice, the abusing hadn't really gotten to her, as she was a kit and didn't understand what was going on. Russetpaw grew up with an okay mentor, but Leafwillow began scolding her for "not bringing enough prey" and being "lazy". Russetpaw grew up quite lonely... until **Cherrypaw**, a MoonClan apprentice, showed up and began talking with her during a Gathering. It turned out that they became friends. Only until after Cherrypaw's betrayal. You see, Cherrypaw's leader found out about the friendship and ordered Cherrypaw to make a greeting to an ambush. Cherrypaw followed her leader's rules, and Russetpaw was caught. After that, Russetpaw grew up quiet, snappy, and quite violent, even when battle training or hunting.

When Russetpaw became Russetwood, she had the same personality as when she did when she was an apprentice. She gained an apprentice, **Goldenpaw**, after a few moons of being a warrior. She did not train her apprentice well. She was violent, she was strict, she was careless, she was sharp. She gave the same scar she had over to Goldenpaw, and warped Goldenpaw from an energetic, giddy, sunshine-like she-cat to a quiet, miserable cat.

When Goldenpaw became **Goldenfrost**, and learned how Russetwood grew up to be so evil, she killed Cherrypaw, who was then **Cherrystar**, then Russetwood, in rage.

## Personality

Before, she was quite normal, but after Leafwillow's influence and all that, she became aggressive, easily annoyed, and snappy. In the Dark Forest, she is shown to get tired of everybody and everything easily. She can sometimes even try to be manipulative to live cats who she seems to come across, or to come across her.

## Relationships

### Cherrypaw

Russetpaw and Cherrypaw were very good friends and had many things in common. They were both only kits, were the outcasts of the other apprentices, and had similar personalities and interests.

### Bramblespark

Not only were Russetkit and Bramblespark father and daughter, they were best friends. Bramblespark always remembered to get a piece of prey for her, he played with her whenever she was bored or lonely, and had a healthy relationship with both Russetkit and Leafwillow.

### Leafwillow

Russetwood's relationship with Leafwillow was actually quite healthy, until Bramblespark died. Then, Leafwillow went into a mental depression spiral, neglecting Russetkit every so often.

## Trivia

* Russetwood's green eyes turned dark brown in the Dark Forest.
