## Kit Life

Hickorykit was born to Havenbriar and Finchclaw during New-leaf (November 14th 2020) along with her littermates Nettlekit, Foamkit, and Leafkit. When she was born, she didn't like the presence of her siblings, or any other kit at all. When she was a few weeks old, she had met many other kits. Including Hornetkit, which she did not get along with. Hornetkit had called her a 'Mousebrain', which Hickorykit did not know the meaning of, but she knew she was not a mouse or a brain. A couple of days before she was 1 moon old, she befriended Newtchaser (Or 'Noochwasher') who had taken her outside to catch minnows. Hickorykit was technically not allowed out of the nursery until she was 2 moons old, but ssssHSHHshhHS-

When she was 1 moon old, Patchbriar (Patchpaw at the time) told her a story of a dark forest tom named 'Goldenflame' who ate kits who were naughty. Hickorykit, believed it. One day, our saucy little kit was ripping up her sibling's bedding when Frondpaw caught her. Hickorykit had explained how she was the best kit, and how her siblings were 'Steawling Havenbwiar'. Frondpaw had explained how 'the best kit' would be nice to her siblings, but Hickorykit stated that the best kit does not need to change, since she's already the best. Hickorykit ends up befriending Frondpaw. Once, Nettlekit suggested to go collect stones. While out, Hickorykit pointed out that they could make their own clan, BoulderClan, with all of the stones. So, Hickorykit took the crown of Hickorystar, and made Nettlekit the deputy, Nettlefeather.

At two moons old, Hickorykit began eating prey. She had her first bite when her mother Havenbriar offered some to her. After that, Hickory would began 'stealing' prey. She didn't know that she was actually allowed to have prey whenever the heck she wanted since it was new-leaf, so she thought it was bad (the only reason she does anything-)

At three moons, Hickorykit was plotting against her siblings when she encountered Royal, a loner who was visiting RiverClan. She started up hostile, and assumed he was a rouge, but Royal soon taught her he was a loner, who was visiting the clan. One day, Hickorykit got the idea that if you could manage to be the best kit, which she knew she was, and climb the nursery so she was over a fully grown cat, she would be granted magic powers. This, was 1: untrue, and 2: extremely stupid. She ended up falling and being sad. When she was talking with Ripplewatcher, he suggested to play clan. Remembering her amazing Boulderclan, Hickorykit declared Ripplewatcher, 'Ripplewatcherpelt', warrior of Boulderclan. She found her niece (\*cough confusing family tree) Wasppaw wanting to leave Riverclan for Windclan. Wasppaw asked if Hickorykit would like to leave. Hickorykit wasn't so sure, but Wasppaw reminded her of all the cats she hates, and the fact they could both get away from them (ex. Her siblings, Hornetpaw,). Hickorykit agreed to meet her at the lake that Moonhigh. (sheendedupnotgoing-)

At four moons, she was excused because Wren was busy with school. But then Wren role-played. Because that's what they do. Once when Hickorykit was outside, she noticed Nettlekit climbing on a rock, trying to see out of camp. He had gotten stuck up there, and asked that his totally sweet and caring sister help him. She obliged, but when he was climbing down, she second thought everything and moved out of the way so that Nettlekit would fall. He ended up falling and hurting himself. Since Hickorykit knew that if Nettlekit told on her, it would ruin her entire 'reputation'. She told him to stay quiet about the situation, and if anyone asked, Hickorykit had no part in it. A couple of days later, Hickorykit decided to do stalking practice. She had heard a finch in the reeds, and began stalking it, only to be interrupted by Larkspring. She got angry at him for scaring away the bird, and jumped into the reeds, only to find a nest of Reed Bunting eggs. She told Larkspring that she was going to protect the eggs, and keep him away from them, then named the four eggs 'Patchy', after Patchbriar, 'Newt', after Newtchaser, 'Haven', after Havenbriar, and 'Hickory', after herself, of course. "Larkspring suggested that she not name one after herself, and name one after him, but Hickorykit didn't agree. But, she did put a twig in the nest and named it 'Lark', after Larkspring.

When Hickorykit was five moons old, she talked to Patchbriar about why she was so anxious to be the best kit. She explained how if her siblings, or Patchbriar's kits if she had any, would become more popular than she was if she didn't try harder, and assure every cat that she was the best cat. Patchbriar didn't like this attitude and tried to cheer her up. Shortly after, Hickorykit finally met one of Ivyfall's kits, Asterkit. She warned him to stay away from Leafkit or Nettlekit, and that she was better. When he had changed the subject, and asked if they could leave the nursery yet, Hickorykit answered, and asked if he wanted to join Boulderclan. She explained how she was leader, Nettlefeather was deputy, and how Ripplewatcherpelt was one of the warriors. Asterkit was confused on how Ripplewatcher had a Boulderclan name that long, Hikcorykit just replied with "I named him that moons ago, when I wasn't as intelligent. It's. too late to change it now, I guess." Fast forward a couple of days, Hickorykit noticed the eggs had a crack in them, they were finally hatching! Nettlekit joined her when the were b I r t h e d, and he helped feed the birds worms with her.

## Apprentice Life

At six moons, Hickory was named Hickorypaw and was given Patchbriar as her mentor. She was excited to be get a mentor she actually liked, and not Larkspring, like Nettlepaw had gotten. When she was getting her nest put together in the Apprentice's Den, Hornetpaw wanted to patch things up with the young apprentice, so she suggested to go hunting. While out, she realized that her relationships with Hornetpaw wasn't hate, it was jealousy. Hornetpaw began catching fish, Hickorypaw couldn't catch anything. After Hornetpaw realized that that Hickorypaw wasn't enjoying it, she began making conversation. She asked about Hickorypaw's crush, who had been Hornetpaw for the last few hours. So of course, our saucy one acted sharply towards the question. When the two got back to camp that evening, Waspsnow slashed Hickorypaw's ear. She told Hickorypaw to stop, or else she'll drown her in the lake. Hickorypaw replied saying that the best cat wouldn't drown, so Waspsnow dragged her to the lake and nearly threw her in, until Hornetpaw stopped her. A few days later, Waspsnow found her and sent a scratch through Hickorypaw's cheek. Hornetpaw, once again, saved the day once again. Waspsnow claimed she hadn't done it, and walked away. Hickorypaw told Newtchaser, Frondglow, and Larkspring, what had happened, each had different responses. Later, Hickorypaw learned from Hornetpaw that Waspsnow had attacked, and nearly killed Hickorypaw's best friend, and Hornetpaw's brother Newtchaser.

At seven moons old, Hickorypaw was checking on Newtchaser once again, when Waspsnow had just attempted to finish off what she had started. Blazingwing, the deputy at the time, found out what had happened and interrogated the cats in the den who were involved. He asked Hickorypaw, Frondglow, and Waspsnow what had happened, and sent Newtchaser out for a bit. Hickorypaw gave her side of the story, while Waspsnow had made up a quick lie, but then took that back. When Hickorypaw was exiting, she was alarmed to see her sister and another warrior unconscious in the middle of camp. She rushed over and started to drag Foampaw by the scruff. She wasn't strong enough at first, but had Hornetpaw help her. Later that week, Hickorypaw conversed with Hornetpaw about her warrior ceremony. The older apprentice hoped that she would be healed from an attack from a badger by then, and Hickorypaw knew that Hornetpaw would be. She suggested stretching their legs outside for a bit, since nobody would notice them gone. The two made flower crowns for each other, and built a fort.

When Hickorypaw was eight moons old, she finally mustered up enough courage to confess her feelings to Hornetpaw. She told the (warrior?), and totally got friend-zoned. Hornetpaw was stressed, since she and Waspsnow had feelings for each other, though she still had feelings for Hickorypaw. She suggested to go to their fort to discuss things. Once they got there, Waspsnow found them and everyone got emotional- Hickorypaw suggested to leave, and went back to camp. She talked with Nettlepaw about the incident, and went to sleep. She slept in too long, because Hornetpaw was having her warrior ceremony! She hurried over in time to here the new warrior's name, Hornetflame. She congratulated her, and then the two suggested leaving camp. When out, Hickorypaw explained how she was worried about Hornetflame leaving the apprentice's den. She told the warrior how much she would miss her, and how their schedule's would now collide. The two had their own things to do and split up for then, so Hickorypaw went back to camp, but to her surprise, her family were all huddled together and crying. She asked what was wrong, and her brothers told her that their sister, Foampaw, was missing. The last time Hickorypaw had spoken with Foampaw, the missing she-cat was unconscious in the middle of camp. Before that, Foampaw had given Hickorypaw a crown made of dried wood, witch the apprentice was happy to recieve. She left camp in sadness, and coped by sleeping in her and Hornetflame's hideout. Guess what, Waspsnow was there being sad. Hornetflame showed up and Wasp and Hornet had a cute moment. The three rested in the hideout, while Hickorypaw couldn't sleep. She decided to go hunting, while nobody would notice her gone. But at the entrance of the den, a big badger was guarding. The reddish-brown she-cat woke Waspsnow and Hornetflame, and Hornet instructed Hickorypaw go get help. She hurried back to camp and got Hornet's sister, Antwhisker, to help. When she got there, she began helping to fight by throwing rocks at the badger, then clinging on to the animal. She was thrown off and hit hard, passing out. Hickorypaw was carried to the medicine den after the beast was killed by Hornetflame. The apprentice woke up, and Hornetflame told her how sorry she was. Hickorypaw told her that nothing was her fault, and that everything was going to be okay, even though she was worrying about dying. Later, when she was feeling better, Hickorypaw was feeling better, the apprentice left camp to see if Hornetflame was in their hideout. She ended up falling asleep there when she realized that the warrior she was hoping to see was not there. When she woke up, Hornetflame and Waspsnow were there. Hornetflame explained how she had finally decided between the apprentice and the exile, and concluded saying that Hickorypaw was her choice. Hickorypaw couldn't believe it, and was overcome with happiness.

On Hickorypaw's 9th moon, the apprentice went to find Hornetflame, when she wasn't there. She rushed over to the medicine den to find the she-cat of question in one of the nests. Hornetflame explained how she had fell in the river on purpose, which made Hickorypaw feel very hurt. The two had a cute moment. Hickorypaw later went training with Patchbriar, but still couldn't catch any fish. This was making the apprentice feel terrible. When she was attempting to hunt, she met up with Waspsnow and the exile tried to give her advice. Hickorypaw took the advice, but didn't take everything too seriously. When she got back to camp, Nettlepaw wanted to speak to her. The two littermates left and he explained how one of the older apprentices, Rosemarypaw, had a crush on him, and how he sorta told her he liked her back, but wasn't sure. Hickorypaw gave him some lOve advice for his problem, when the two had a cute sibling moment.

When Hickorypaw was ten moons, she talked with Hornetflame. The warrior had told her about a fear that she had about the two's relationship, and that Hornetflame was worried that Hickorypaw would leave her for somebody else in the future. Hickorypaw comforted her by swearing that Hornetflame was the only cat for her, and that she would never love anyone else. The two decided to go and make flower crowns in their hideout. Hickorypaw made Hornetflame one out of daffodils and azaleas (\*totally didn't look up flowers for love in google\*), while Hornetflame made her one of carnations and daisies (<3).

Hickorypaw was eleven moons old when she had heard news of newborn kits in clan, though she could already tell by the noise. The apprentice thought about 'teaching them a less', but decided against it. When she entered the nursery she walked over to Sparrowkit, who was yowling for food. She told the kit to 'shut up', but then found her cute in some ways. Hickorypaw didn't know the kit's name, and since Sparrowkit couldn't talk, the apprentice gave her a duck feather and started calling her 'Quack'. Hickorypaw left after a bit and found Hornetflame. The warrior asked her about Hickorypaw's thoughts on meeting up with cats from other clans, in which Hickorypaw responded against it. Little did Hickorypaw know that Hornetflame was meeting up with a friend from another clan.

Around Hickorypaw's twelfth moon, Hornetflame decided she wanted to leave RiverClan. Hickorypaw didn't take this well, and was even more heartbroken when Hornetflame came back about a week later all beaten up, and died. The apprentice couldn't find what to do after the warrior's death, and found it harder to communicate with other cats about it. Waspsnow didn't take Hornetflame's death well either, and wanted to try and comfort Hickorypaw, the apprentice tried to forgive her, but couldn't completely. Hickorypaw went to cheer herself up by visiting 'Quack'.

## Warrior Life

Hickorypaw is now Hickorysnap~ She's very anxious, but also excited to be a warrior!!

at 15 moons, Hickorysnap had a sweet conversation with Sparrowkit about becoming an apprentice. After, Hickorysnap had another argument with her brother Leafdawn. She was super angry after this argument she attacked Waspsnow in revenge from when she had when Hickorysnap was an apprentice. At this point, Hickorysnap has developed an eating-disorder, making her feel like she doesn't deserve the food in the fresh-kill pile.

When Hicorysnap was 16 moons, she met Gustkit, the son of Patchbriar. She bonded with the kit and found his actions relatable to when she was his age.

When Hickorysnap was 18 moons old, she had heard from Nettlehaze that their older littermate, Leafdawn, had no longer wanted his siblings. She wasn't devastated, more angry. She already was on bad terms with him, but this made things worse. She also heard that Leafdawn had befriended Waspsnow, which is why Hickorysnap believes he didn't want them because of her. So she was angered at Waspsnow. Later, Hickorysnap found and argued with the she-cat, resulting in her attacking Waspsnow.

20 moons:

Hickorysnap gives advice to Martenpaw about his crush, Dandelion.

Talks to Astersky about Waspsnow.
