## Backstory

### Kithood

Jaykit was born to Bluebellpetal and Fennelfeather alongside her sisters, Cornflowerkit and Iriskit. She had a relatively normal childhood, her parents parented well and she got along with her sisters good enough as well.

One thing that intrigued Jaykit was mysteries. She'd always have Fennelfeather and Bluebellpetal set up mysteries for her to solve and she really liked to get her brain going. She was a smart cookie and solved them fast.

Anyways, not much happened in her kithood, so we're moving on.

### Apprenticeship

Jaypaw was lucky enough to be apprenticed to Fennelfeather, and she was trained well. It wasn't untli she was nine moons old when things really started to get strange.

Mysteriously, Cornflowerpaw and Irispaw went missing. Being the mini detective she was, she helped try and crack the case, from tracking scents to gathering evidence to staying up all night thinking of the horrifying things that could happen to them. Jaypaw reached a dead end in her research and she was broken when she couldn't find them, but Fennelfeather cheered her up by battle training some more with her over the next moon.

When she was eleven moons old, there were two bodies dragged in camp that had been found on the outskirts of WindClan territory, near the Twolegplace border. Two bodies of female apprentices. Jaypaw hoped it wasn't the worst, but it was the worst. It was Cornflowerpaw and Irispaw, and they had a strange scent on them. An elder, who was very good at tracking and identifying, identified it as BloodClan scent and everyone was shocked. This was the first time they had heard of them in a while.

Jaypaw was devastated. Those fox-hearts, they had killed her sisters! She was going to get to the bottom of this....was what she thought, until she was strictly told by the leader not to. The leader at the time, Possumstar, told her "don't play the hero and get yourself killed", and everyone was instructed no cats could go out of camp alone, especially apprentices. Jaypaw was furious but kept quiet about it.

### Warrior Life

Jaypaw was made a warrior, with the name Jayswoop. She demanded Cornflowerpaw and Irispaw get their names as well, with her parents quietly and reluctantly agreeing in the crowd, so the two deceased apprentices were named Cornflowerbloom and Irisspirit. Jayswoop was satisfied for once, but was still angry about the new temporary rule though.

She attended the recent gathering, when she was sixteen moons old, where she heard about ThunderClan having two apprentices killed as well; two she-cats again, named Timberpaw and Applepaw. They were sisters. Jayswoop silently noted the pattern and saw that there was a particularly sad RiverClan warrior around her age named Rubblepatch, who was the two dead ThunderClan apprentices' friend. She went over to him and they chatted silently for a bit before agreeing to secretly meet at the border to try and solve the mystery about why they were being killed and how BloodClan followed.

But after a few meetings, when Jayswoop was about twenty-five moons old and Rubblepatch twenty-eight, the two ended up getting off-track, as their plans slowly began to dwindle as they got distracted by crushing on each other. They slowly fell in love and then Jayswoop confessed⏤more like confronted⏤her love to Rubblepatch and how it was distracting her. They decided to drop the case and become mates.

A few moons later when she was 35, Jayswoop had been feeling nauseous and unwell lately, as well as feeling quite bloated. She went to the medicine cat, Robindance, and she announced that Jayswoop was pregnant. Jayswoop was shocked, and never really wanted to have children, but she didn't dare let her kits know that when they were born as she warmed up to the idea.

The next time she met with Rubblepatch she told him about the pregnancy and he was ecstatic⏤the tom had wanted a family all his life, after all. They had two kits, a tom and a she-kit, and they were named Stonekit and Flykit. They decided to not let anyone know about their relationship, and they came to a conclusion that they had to break up and go their separate ways. Their kits could never grow up outside the Clans or be unable to see their father or mother if one cat took both, so the two ended up each taking one kit to raise; Rubblepatch took Flykit and Jayswoop took Stonekit, and they said their last goodbyes.

Jayswoop wasn't really sure how to parent Stonekit, and was still torn up about the break up, so she ended up kind of neglecting him. She heard a moon later that Rubblepatch had died from a BloodClan attack, the first attack on RiverClan, and she was broken over it and barely looked after Stonekit at all, though she felt extremely guilty about it.

When Jayswoop was forty-three moons old, Stonekit was made an apprentice and she was out of the nursery. She had recovered a bit after the break-up, and Rubblepatch's death, but didn't tell anyone about it due to fear of her and Rubblepatch's secret getting out. Once Stonekit was eight moons old though, she started getting skeptical of his aggressive mentor, Clawswipe, after a cat tipped her off to him.

She started noticing more and more wounds that Stonekit would get every few days. She was confused at first, because at eight moons old an apprentice would just be finishing up hunting and learning basic fighting moves. She was starting to piece things together and was furious when she uncovered the truth. News also came by a moon later that a WindClan cat had attacked a RiverClan patrol, and she was not happy about that either. She told the medicine cat and the deputy, but not the leader for some reason. Maybe she just wanted to be the leader of the solving team, to fulfill her urge to solve mysteries that was left hungry all those moons ago.

Just before Stonepaw had become a warrior, Jayswoop, Robindance, and the deputy at the time, all confronted Clawswipe, where he finally blurted out boastfully he had been the one injuring Stonepaw and he had been the one to attack RiverClan. He was exiled, and Stonepaw became a warrior with the named Stonetumble, after his scars. Jayswoop wasn't happy about that and let Possumstar know she was mad about it.

When she was fifty moons old, just one moon after Stonetumble had become a warrior, she got him help, and everything was peaceful.

Now she's sixty moons old and she's in her son's friend group, along with his friends Icewish and Cinderclaw.

### Additional (and sometimes random) Info

* I think this is one of the longest pages I've written in a while. A lot has happened in Jayswoop's life, and that paired with her being old and me not wanting to make the background characters boring, resulted in broken fingers. Help

### Quotes

Jayswoop was made like last year and hasn't been used at all. Which is sad, because I think she's really interesting.
