**Berrydawn** is a brown tabby she-cat with blue eyes.

**Berrydawn** is a StormClan warrior under Kestrelstar's leadership. She was born as a kittypet with the name, **Berry** to Silver and Summer alongside Lion and Goldy. Her father brought them to the Clans, leaving their mother behind and they joined StormClan, where she was fostered by Ivyheart as **Berrykit**. She and Goldenkit comforted Lionkit when Silver abandoned them. She was apprenticed as a medicine cat apprentice to Russetfoot as **Berrypaw**, but later decided to train as a warrior when she fell in love with Sharpbite, resulting in Sandflower becoming her mentor. When she was made a warrior, **Berrydawn** comforted Sharpbite when Kestrelfoot died, and she grew close to him, befriending him. Unbeknownst to him, she became pregnant with his kits and gave birth to Nightkit, Fernkit and Larchkit.

Sharpbite was furious with her and told her that he never loved her the way she did. He ignored his kits with her and instead, became mates with Silverfur. Berrydawn mentored her son, Nightpaw and when Nightpaw tried to impress his father with his skills, she was furious that Sharpbite ignored his skills. She was proud when he became a warrior and she congratulated him and her other kits. She then decided to become a medicine cat once again and she became one, despite lots of protests from the Clan.

## History

*"Silver, why are we leaving Summer behind? I don't wanna leave her! I want her to come with us!"*

Berry was born to Summer and Silver alongside Lion and Goldy. She was seperated by her mother and was taken to the Clns, where they joined StormClan and where she was renamed as Berrykit and fostered by Ivyheart when she lost her whole litter. Silver, her father, abandoned her and her siblings by leaving the Clan.

*"I respect your decision, Berrypaw. As long as you're happy, I'll be happy. I won't be alone on my medicine duties, I can train another apprentice to take my place."*

Berrypaw is apprenticed to Russetfoot as a medicine cat apprentice, but she decides to train as a warrior as she fell in love with Sharpbite. When she was made a warrior, Berrydawn grew close to Sharpbite and supported him and comforted him when Kestrelfoot, his mate died. Unbeknownst to him, she became pregnant with his kits and gave birth to Nightkit, Fernkit and Larchkit. When Sharpbite ignored his kits and her, Lionclaw threatened Sharpbite that he would kill him if he continued to despise Berrydawn. He befriended Berrydawn once again and grew close to her once again. When Lionclaw was killed, Sharpbite broke ties with Berrydawn and turned his attention to Silverfur and his kits with her.

*"I used to love you, Sharpbite. I really did, but now, I only hate you. I do not feel any love feelings towards you after what you've done to me. I comforted you when Kestrelfoot died, I grew close to you, I did anything for you, I had your kits. We could've been a happy family, but you despised me and our kits and chose Silverfur over us. I hate you."*

Berrydawn despised Sharpbite and confronted him in front of Silverfur. Because of that, Silverfur broke up with Sharpbite and told him to forgive Berrydawn. Sharpbite snaps as Berrydawn, he "forgave" her and she smirked. She told Sharpbite that she hated him and he was shocked, she had always told him that she loved him and their kits. Sharpbite told her that she didn't mean it but she did mean it. He begged for her forgiveness and she turned her on him. He tried to grow close to her and their kits once more, trying to be a good father. But their kits were already warriors, and they despised Sharpbite and turned their back on him.

*"I know you are used to me being a warrior, my darling. I'm glad I gave up to be a medicine cat that time, if I didn't, I wouldn't have had you and your siblings. But now that your father turned his back on us, I can follow my dreams. And my dream was always to be a medicine cat, but I don't regret becoming a warrior and having you."*

Berrydawn decides to become a medicine cat once again, despite some protests. After a battle against Lionclaw, Berrydawn takes care of Silverfur gently, when Sharpbite told her to be careful with Silverfur or else. She simply retorted: "Or else what? You'll kill me? If you kill me, Kestrelstar will exile you from the Clan, Silverfur will break up with you. You'll be seperated from your kits, my kits and Silverfur's kits. When you die, you'll go to the Dark Forest for breaking the warrior code. And in StarClan, I'll make sure you suffer because I'll haunt you down for the rest of your life". Sharpbite didn't complete his phrase, he simply layed down beside Silverfur and watched Berrydawn take care of his mate.
