## **History**

### **Post New-Clans**

Bristlecloud was born to Spotfur as Bristlekit along with her brothers Stemkit and Graykit, she was named after Bristlefrost. Bristlekit didn't grow up with a father since Stemleaf had died before Spotfur even knew she was expecting, as kit she liked to help around the camp excited for her apprenticeship.

Bristlekit became Bristlepaw, and was apprenticed to a slightly new warrior Finchlight, Bristlepaw wanting to prove her stuff became calmer and a more respectful apprentice being a model for the other Thunderclan apprentices, at her first gathering she met and became "acquaintances" with Beepaw and Rowanpaw, one Skyclan Apprentice and Tigerstar(2)'s daughter though she saw them more as friends than acquaintances. In the middle of her training, An Emergency gathering was called, after shortly sharing tongues with Her brothers, Rowanpaw, and Beepaw The leader's explained the situation, the lake was drying up and Starclan had sent a prophecy, that the lastest warriors and apprentices would go on a journey to find a new home for the clans.

On their trip, Bristlepaw became closer to Rowanpaw and Beepaw, but felt a stronger bond of family with her brothers Graypaw abd Stempaw finally connecting to them, until a great leaf-bare hit and foxes separated the group in blizzard Finchlight found her apprentice and they hid them ran for the nearest slope and made it to the Grasslands of Valley which was only a minor territory

Bristlepaw and Finchlight found new cats to join their small group in the grasslands including some old friends, Bristlepaw found Beepaw and Beepaw's brother Beetle and a Skyclan Warrior named Wrenflight and that night Starclan sent her a sign to make a new clan

Bristlepaw relayed the news to the group of cats on stone ledge which she named dove ledge, the group also now had 3 others who weren't from any clan and were wanderers in the valley living on a barn Prey, Sky, and Frost and that the new clan would be named Sparrowclan due to the dream Bristlepaw had, she also learned all the herbs of valley but with some confusion and difficulty, and it would take moons before she fully understood the herbs, after Finchlight saved Lizard from a fox and she patched them up she and Finchlight found the Moonspring under the full moon and Finchlight became Finchstar with nine lives since the Moonspring was their new contact with starclan, Bristlepaw was also made official Medicine cat of Sparrowclan with the name Bristlecloud.

Bristlecloud was a patient medicine cat and good one when it came to dealing with wounds and sickness but feared her skill in helping queens who were kitting as when Skyflower gave birth two of her kits, Icekit and Puddlekit died and Bristlecloud blamed herself for it. She had to deal with the stressful epidemic of greencough in leafbare not to mention a fox attack, realizing this Finchstar promised one of the three kits Graykit the surviving child of Skyflower and Preyheart, Sheepkit daugther of a visiting rogue named Violet and apparently Bayshine and her brother, Sunnykit. Bristlecloud was given Sunnypaw as an apprentice even though he was grumpy and frustrated with being a medicine cat she was a patient mentor. At the end of leaf-bare she ran into a wanderer on the edge of Sparrowclan territory close to the border with Sycamoreclan named Squirrel, she convinced her to join the clan and she was named Squirrelbriar they secretly became mates and spent a lot of time together.

### **Dusk Fury**

#### Fallen Storm

While looking for herbs with Squirrelbriar they found three kits apparently from The Tribe of Lunar Moons and took them to Finchstar. After talking to Finchstar who wasn't entirely convinced about taking in more cats, she agreed. Bristlecloud and Squirrelbriar adopted the three kits, with Squirrelbriar publicly adopting her as her kit, as no cat can know that their mates. Bristlecloud and Squirrelbriar ask the kits their names and then proceeded to name them by the first word of their names Fallenkit, Halfkit, and Sleekkit. Bristlecloud was also overjoyed when she sucessfully helped Beewing give birth to Goosekit, without any complications.

While she was worried about Tawnykit's twisted paw she was at least happy that the birth of her and Eaglekit was peaceful.
