## History

### In the Novellas

#### *Moonpool's Sorrow*

**Moonpool** is first seen in the prologue as **Moonkit**. She gets woken up by Shadekit, then watches her sister play outside with Gingerpaw.

Later in the prologue, she becomes a warrior apprentice, becoming **Moonpaw**, while Shadekit becomes Shadepaw, a medicine cat apprentice.

In chapter one, **Moonpool** goes out hunting with her apprentice, Snowpaw. When they go past the archway of icicles at the camp entrance, she notes that she didn't pick a side when voting to keep or remove the icicles. While out hunting, she notes that Snowpaw is hard to keep in check and doesn't listen to her much. She also wishes she was given Swiftpaw as an apprentice instead. When they make it to Tall View, **Moonpool** stands near the edge of the cliff and looks across the territory in front of her.

In chapter two, **Moonpool** and Snowpaw leave Tall View and head back to camp after Snowpaw catches a squirrel. Before they properly get into camp, Snowpaw gets crushed by the icicles in front of the entrance. When trying to comfort her sister, Shadewhisker blames **Moonpool** for her son's death, along with part of the clan. She goes into the warriors' den, then tries to sleep through the day. Before she can fall asleep, Redfur, Seedpelt and Smokeheart tell her that she should get punished.

Later, **Moonpool** says that she hears cats constantly talking behind her back. When she leaves camp in the middle of the night, she gets attacked by Redfur, Seedpelt and Smokeheart, before being dragged back to camp. After getting yelled at by Bluemask, **Moonpool** goes to sleep.

In chapter three, **Moonpool** is on a walk, before stepping into a muddy ditch. She gets stuck in the mud, before watching as a wave of icy water hits her. She wakes up from the dream when Nutflake prods her. The other she-cat tells **Moonpool** that Gingerstar wants to see her. Gingerstar tells **Moonpool** that he doesn't blame her for Snowpaw's death, then gives her Frozenkit as an apprentice. While watching Willowleaf and Bluemasks' kits, she notes that Frozenkit shares multiple traits with her mother. Frozenkit notices she's staring, and Willowleaf tells the kit that 'at least she isn't trying to kill you'. **Moonpool** goes over to the elders, then goes on a walk with them.

In chapter four, while on the walk, **Moonpool** has her first seizure. She later wakes up in Shadewhisker's den, then finds out she missed Frozenpaw's apprentice ceremony and that she had a seizure.

In chapter five, **Moonpool** sleeps through the day, then says that some cats think she's lazy, such as Bluemask, Redfur, Seedpelt, Smokeheart and Whitecrow. She also states that Nutflake and Flowernose were busy trying to keep her warm and safe. She is then woken up by Frozenpaw, who tells her that they've got to go train, then **Moonpool** lashes out. When she leaves the den, Bluemask yells at her for yelling at her daughter. Gingerstar then stops their arguing. Moonpool and Frozenpaw then go to Tall View together, before heading down the cliff and towards a cabin. She then meets Wasp, who tells them to leave, before **Moonpool** and Wasp fight. Afterwards, the two begin promise to see each other that night.

In chapter six, **Moonpool** goes to meet with Wasp in the night. The two chat for a while, before **Moonpool** has to leave. The next day, Rainpelt wakes her up, before informing her that Darksun is dying. When **Moonpool** enters the den, she finds Shadewhisker and Swiftpaw there, the medicine cat saying that they cannot save the sick elder. **Moonpool** tries to apologize, but Shadewhisker doesn't accept it. When she leaves the den, she has a chat with Rainpelt. At Darksun's vigil, **Moonpool** says that Darksun was her idol since she was a kit. She is tasked with burying her mother, along with Mintclaw and Shadewhisker.

In chapter seven, **Moonpool** asks the other two how they think Darksun died. She helps her sister dig and fill the grave for their mother. When Shadewhisker asks why **Moonpool** didn't leave with Mintclaw, **Moonpool** says that it'd be quicker if they both filled in the hole. While walking back to camp, **Moonpool** tries to apologize to Shadewhisker, who rejects the apology. While outside the warriors' den, **Moonpool** watches everyone else in the clan, before joining Nutflake on a patrol, along with Frozenpaw and Seedpelt. While Nutflake was convincing Seedpelt to go on the patrol, **Moonpool** watched Bluemask and Redfur enter the warriors' den together, making her want to throw up.

In chapter eight, **Moonpool** goes on the patrol. She nearly laughs when she sees Frozenpaw walking like Bluemask. When Frozenpaw tries to show Nutflake and Seedpelt the area under Tall View, **Moonpool** freaks out and tells her to cut it out. When Nutflake and Seedpelt catch up to them, they notice that Frozenpaw looks scared and worried, in which Nutflake tries to cheer up the apprentice. **Moonpool** suggests that they go to Fern Pool, in which Nutflake and Frozenpaw agree. Later that night, **Moonpool** is woken up by Frozenpaw, who says that she saw something go into Gingerstar's den. When they enter the den, they find the leader's body, before Bluemask reveals herself. Bluemask attempts to kill **Moonpool**, but Frozenpaw stops her, killing her mother.

In chapter nine, **Moonpool** and Frozenpaw leave Gingerstar's den after Bluemask dies, saying that they'll just forget about the whole situation. The next day, **Moonpool** comments that the day will be good, in which Whitecrow agrees with her. Then **Moonpool** spots Swiftpaw heading towards the den, she tries to stop her, but fails. When the clan tries to figure out who killed both Gingerstar and Bluemask, Redfur blames **Moonpool**, but Shadewhisker says that there isn't a point in blaming someone for the deaths. After Whitecrow is chosen as leader, **Moonpool** tries to get to the warriors' den, but she's blocked by Redfur, Seedpelt and Smokeheart, who call her a murderer. She then wakes up in a sunny forest, before reuniting with Darksun and Snowpaw. The two ghosts tell her to leave, before she's forced out of the dream. She wakes up back in her den, where Swiftpaw is beside her, telling **Moonpool** that she thought she was having a nightmare. **Moonpool** then goes to get something to eat.

In chapter ten, **Moonpool** is sitting outside the nursery with her son, Rowankit. She thinks that Rowankit is a reminder of her thoughts on the rules of Iceclan. Willowleaf says that the moon has been good, and **Moonpool** agrees. That night, **Moonpool** spots Swiftpelt talking to Whitestar, but thinks nothing of it. She goes back to the nursery, where she tells Rowankit about Wasp. After telling her son about his father, she sees Swiftpelt go past the nursery. The next day, **Moonpool** is banished from Iceclan, along with Rowankit. They travel towards Wasp's cabin, but on the way, they come across the river. She carries Rowankit across, but once the current picked up, she threw Rowankit to the other side, before being dragged along the river, nearly drowning. Then she slams into a large stone at the end of the river.
