## ✾ Physical Description ✾

> Heatherlion is a somewhat small and slim she-cat with short bicolor cinnamon spotted tabby fur. Despite her smaller form she is quite athletically built with a long yet thin tail. Her eyes are a soft wintery green contrasted by the bold flowered vines rest atop her head and wrapped around one of her hind legs. **(Description is written by AshnosetheMute on Scratch)**

> Heatherlion has mostly short fur all around her body, but there are some spots with slightly longer fur. Her long tail makes it slightly difficult to hunt and she constantly trips on it **(Addition by me)**

AshnosetheMute designed her :D

## ✾ Personality ✾

Say hello to Thunderclan's resident awkward tabby, Heatherlion!

When you first meet this spotted tabby, she comes off as a shy, quiet, and uninterested cat. But as soon as you break past that layer, you get to meet the real Heatherlion, hidden inside! This Thunderclan warrior is an awkward, loving, and jumpy fuzzball. She loves to explore new places, ideas, and meet new cats (even though she is quite shy about it)! Being quite open-minded, Heatherlion is known to encourage others to try new things and test out different ideas, even if it’s a little bit dangerous. This little tabby is quite optimistic on the outside, never really seen frowning or crying (although she does cry when she thinks she’s alone)- she is always joyful and does her best to make sure others are too. But sometimes, she tries too hard and doesn’t know when to stop. She always tries to impress everyone and can forget that she is just a normal cat who makes mistakes. The she-cat also tends to overthink things, and when she finally decides what to do, time has run out... Heatherlion will always try to be there for her friends, family, clanmates... She couldn’t imagine life without any of them, and will always put them before herself, which can be described as being selfless. Although this is very kind of her, it is not always a good thing and can be abused. She’s gullible and believes everyone is loving and caring, therefore not being able to hurt anyone or see the bad in them. Another effect of this is her strong dislike for fighting. Heatherlion is creative, constantly surprising her friends and family with new inventions and ideas. She also likes to participate in activities like drawing in the mud, creating flower or feather crowns, and surprising cats with fun gifts. These all exercise her creativity and/or imagination. Often, there are many arguments within or outside of her clan, a lot of them about some cat lying about crossing a border, or stealing prey… Heatherlion tends to stay away from all of the drama, truly believing that ‘ignorance is bliss’. As I mentioned before, Heatherlion comes off as shy and uninterested when first meeting new cats. Adding to this: She also becomes notably nervous. As she is growing older and older, Heatherlion is becoming more and more nervous about meeting others because of a few reasons. One being that she is always worried she’ll mess up in front of them and become a disgrace to her family/clan, adding to her always trying too hard. One of Heatherlion's biggest fears is being replaced or not good enough for someone.

## ✾ Skills and Weaknesses ✾

* **(+) Commitment -** Heatherlion is committed to whatever she starts, never giving it up in the middle. Whether it is a relationship, a fight, etc, she'll keep at it which goes into-
* **(-) Holds Grudges -** She tends to hold grudges and doesn't easily forgive someone unless she was very close with them before whatever bad or hurtful thing they did.
* **(=) Discipline -** Although she tries to follow the rules, Heatherlion has some trouble following them and often describes them as boring.
* **(+) Speed -** Being small and lightweight, Heatherlion is a speedy, fast-moving she-cat. She can run at high speeds, almost never losing a race. Although, it isn't known if she could race a WindClan cat... most likely not, but who knows?
* **(-) Focus -** A weakness of hers is that CANNOT focus at all. Heatherkit tends to get distracted easily and frightened. Anything that could harm her or her family is bad, and bad things are scary and distracting to her. She often doesn't pay a lot of attention when learning about things verbally.
* **(+) Stealth -** She's quite stealthy, so stealthy that if she were right behind you, it'd be hard to realize she is there - thats just assuming you're distracted though
* **(+) Defense -** Her defense skills are much better than her attacking skills. She doesn't have much trouble holding back cat's and she likes defending more because then she doesn't feel like she's hurting anyone by attacking them.
* **(=) Attack -** Although she is good at fighting, she often freezes up when she has to battle with another cat. Much of this is because of her dislike for fighting.
* **(+) Hunting -** Heatherlion has shown that she is a skilled hunter, often bringing back much prey to camp and in a little amount of time.
* **(=) Bravery -** Most of the time, Heatherlion tries to be brave, although she doesn't know the true meaning of what it means to be brave. But she is ready to suffer and face whatever is thrown her way, although sometimes she can cower. Only if it's for her family and friends~
* **(-) Careful -** While she tries her best to be careful, she tends to drop everything, and not watch where she is going. This is part of her being clumsy :)
* **(+) Creativity -** Heatherlion is quite creative, always thinking outside the box and coming up with strange ideas. She loves to collect random items from the forest and invent helpful sTuFF-
* **(=) Smart/Witty/Clever -** How smart she is, really depends on what is going on. This little spotted tabby can be smart and witty. She comes up with responses quickly and is clever/smart. Heatherlion may not be as great on the battlefield, but she works well in the back and comes up with ways to get out of a situation, or at least help so that it isn't as bad. Despite all this, she can be extremely dumb and is always oblivious.
* **(-) Self-Control -** She doesn't have much self-control, easily saying things she doesn't want to and hurting other cats with her words.
* **(-) Graceful -** Nope. Not at all graceful. Heatherlion is clumsy and that is all I shall say.
* **(-) Managing/Organized -** Heatherlion tends to quickly lose her inventions and things other cats give her. She also isn't very good at managing tough (mental) situations or sad cats. (reminds me of someone.. \*points to self\*)
* **(+) Smell, Sight, Hearing -** Heatherlion's senses of sight, smell, and sound are all very strong.

## ✾ Life ✾

### *Kithood*

> Heatherkit was born to Gorseburn and Thrushperch of ThunderClan, alongside her siblings Rainkit, Batkit, and Yewkit. She is the youngest of the litter. When Heather was born, she was quite hungry, and crawled towards the scent of her mother who she had established as the 'safe cat'. Being a newborn, she couldn't stand and therefore had to drag herself around. The first time Heatherkit came out of the nursery, she immediately bumped into Batkit, her brother, and unable to recognize his scent yet, began to scream and wail in confusion. Once she learned that it had been her brother, she felt awful and went to apologize to him. A few weeks after Heather apologizes to Batkit, Heatherkit went with Rainkit after a nap to a tree. There was a beehive, and Rainkit had told Heatherkit to sit at the bottom of the tree. He wrapped a bunch of leaves around her and himself and took at beehive... somehow. Heatherkit was grateful for it, but when she noticed the bee stings her brother had, she became extremely worried and insisted that they visit Baypaw, the current medicine cat apprentice. Rainkit ignored her, and they continued on through the day, with Heatherkit still worried. Later, Heather breaks down and tells Gorseburn of the previous events that day, and scolds Rainkit for being so reckless.

She gifts a feather crown she made with Rustlefeather to Rainkit as a thank you for the honey the next day.

Soon after Heatherkit turns 1 moon old, she sees her first snowfall and finds it magical, but also quite cold. She and Rustlefeather decide to make feather crowns to keep themselves warm. Heatherkit also meets one of the newborn kits of Beeflight and Beechberry, Burrowkit. When they meet, she discovers that when she stands up after laying down or sitting for a while, she becomes dizzy for a moment. She wonders why, but doesn't tell anyone. Burrowkit and Heatherkit then fall asleep together, snoring peacefully in the nursery. Later that day, Heatherkit and Rainkit sit outside the nursery together on some moss, and Heatherkit gets dizzy again. She doesn't say anything about it though. They chat a little about how they met the new kits.

A couple more weeks later, Heatherkit tumbles outside of the nursery when she sees Rustlefeather slip on some ice, and asks him if he is okay. They argue over who should eat a warm mouse Rustlefeather brought from the fresh-kill pile, Heatherkit saying he should and Rustlefeather saying she should. When Heatherkit takes a bite of the mouse, she immediately knows this is her favorite food. But not wanting to take Rustlefeather's meal, she lies that she isn't hungry, and tells him to have the rest. Later that day, she watches the sunset by herself from the nursery, describing it as "A warm yellow light". She also makes a new friend, whom she names Wisp, a blue-ish white light, which is the moon, though she doesn't know that yet. (Next day) Heatherkit tumbles outside of the nursery and bumps into Peonypaw, meeting her for the second time in her life. They chat a small bit at first, Heatherkit shivering violently the whole time. Eventually, she decides that she should go somewhere warmer, but Peonypaw instead pulls her into a hug, making Heatherkit extremely happy.

Heatherkit is now 2 moons old! The day she turns two moons old, Heatherkit notices that it's cloudy and going to storm. When it starts to rain hard, she also notices Creekblight dancing in the rain! Hesitantly, the little she-kit joins the warrior when he asks, and they end up having loads of fun! They eventually just fall into the mud, a barrel of laughs. (one of my favorite roleplays with her <3)

A couple of days later, Heatherkit learns that Rainkit attempted to leave camp to join Hollykit in Riverclan, and completely breaks down. She blows up at Rustlefeather, telling him that he didn't understand, and that telling him how upset she was that Rainkit was ready to leave her forever to join Hollykit. She runs away to the nursery and is confronted by Rainkit, who she growls and hisses at, growing more and more upset. Rainkit then brings his rock and continuously hurts his paw by hitting it to show he is sorry, and Heatherkit takes it from him because she doesn't want him to get hurt. Out of anger, the little she-kit's brother scratches her ear badly, damaging their relationship even more. Heatherkit doesn't tell anyone about this event, however. The next sun-high, Heatherkit and Hollykit meet, and Heatherkit accidentally blows up on her friend, while trying to persuade herself that it wasn't Hollykit's fault. Feeling bad, she covers her mouth and runs out of the nursery and hides from the lion-like kit.

A few days go by, and Heatherkit goes back to her usual, cheery self, though she absolutely despises Rainkit now. Creekblight and Darkglow get married(lol), with Heatherkit as the ring bearer and flower girl #2. This lifts her spirits. Heatherkit and Rainkit encounter each other the day after the 'wedding'. Heatherkit attempts to apologize to Rainkit, but he doesn't care, and she ends up hurting herself and falling unconscious for a bit. When she wakes up, Heatherkit angrily scratches Rainkit, saying that he was the worst big brother ever and running away to the nursery to cry, where she is later confronted by Splashstone who asks if everything is alright. She lies and says yes.

Several days later, Heatherkit learns that her friend Burrowkit had fought with her brother (Rainkit) earlier that day. She attempts to ask him why they fought, though doesn't really get a good answer. Heatherkit later admits to herself that she hadn't been getting enough sleep and that something was troubling her, though she didn't know exactly what. She wonders if she should tell someone, and concludes with the decision of keeping it to herself.

-Heatherkit talks to Rustlefeather again-

### *Apprenticeship*

Heatherpaw is now an apprentice, and it's so different! Her mentor is Rustlefeather, her friend, and she's grateful! When they leave camp, she stays close to her mentor, a little afraid, but also excited. Once the pair finished exploring the territory, she starts to learn about hunting. At first, she doesn't do too bad getting into a crouch position, her tail just droops to the ground too much. The second time, she trips and becomes frustrated. After a little more training, she finally crouches properly. When Heatherpaw comes back to camp, she heads straight to the apprentices' den and is confronted by a sad Rainpaw. He attempts to apologize to her, but badly wounded by his past actions, Heatherpaw argues with him and they end up fighting, driving them further and further apart. In the end, Heatherpaw concludes that if Rainpaw wasn't going to let go of his pride, if he would remain blinded by it forever, he was nothing more than a clanmate to her.

Her second night as an apprentice, Heatherpaw notices her friend Hollypaw still awake. She sits up and asks the lion-like she-cat why she was awake. Hollypaw claims that it was a nightmare when she asks, and not noticing the strange expression on the other apprentice's face, Heatherpaw believes her. She decides to stay awake until her friend falls asleep, although doesn't really help because she strikes up a conversation. After they chat for a little, Hollypaw leans against Heatherpaw, and they finally fall asleep. In the morning, Heatherpaw and Rainpaw meet once again. He apologizes once more, and this time, Heatherpaw just silently rests her head on his shoulder, signaling that she'd forgiven him. The siblings reunite, both apologizing to each other. Then Rainpaw asks Heatherpaw a question: "Do you want to go honey hunting?". This takes her on a ride of memories before the pair fought.

The day after, Heatherpaw goes out into the territory to hunt on her own, describing how she was nervous and still scared. On the way, she encounters her best friend, Burrowkit, in a hollow. She remembers kits weren't allowed outside of camp and asks him why he was here. When she says that they should go back because there are scary animals out in the forest, Burrowkit claims his moth friends will protect him. Heatherpaw, not wanting to hurt his feelings or lose faith in his moths, says that they could get hurt trying to protect him because the scary things were really strong. Burrowkit just responds that he'll protect them. At the moment, Heatherpaw scents her brother, Rainpaw, nearby, and tells herself that'll he'll bring Burrowkit back, but of how headstrong and stubborn he could be. The apprentice tells her friend to stay in a hollow and runs off, hoping that her brother would come. Later, she sees Burrowkit in camp, and thanks StarClan for having Rainpaw bring him back.

The next morning, Heatherpaw wakes up a little late, so she starts training with Rustlefeather only a slight bit before sun-high. When they go to the training hollow, Heatherpaw decides she wants to learn a little more about how to fight in a battle. Rustlefeather agrees to do more battle training, saying it was a "good idea". At first, he teaches her a simple move: swiping forward to strike another cat's muzzle. Heatherpaw almost trips again but is able to perform the move correctly. After, Rustlefeather moves on to teach her how to stalk and pounce. However, in the process, Heatherpaw cuts her paw a little on a branch, and lands awkwardly, causing a massive surge of pain in her leg. Rustlefeather says they should rest, but Heatherpaw wishes to continue. In the end, they do stop and collect feathers, then head back to camp. Later that day, Rainpaw, Heatherpaw, Hollypaw, and Finpaw all meet in Thunderclan territory and make a plan to find Birchkit and Almondkit. The apprentices decide to go around to all the clans and ask if any cat had seen the kits: first Riverclan. Rainpaw doesn't come along with them, making Heatherpaw realize how much her brother had changed. With a little hurt in her heart and a deep cut on her paw, Heatherpaw joins the apprentices and they head for the border to wait for a Riverclan patrol. While waiting, Hollypaw notices Heatherpaw wincing a little because of her paw and asks about it. Heatherpaw squeaks out that there was absolutely nothing wrong, although her friend doesn't buy it. In the end, they are successful in bringing Birchkit (now Birchpaw) back, but Almondkit...

When they return, it's finally time for Burrowkit to become an apprentice! She is so excited that her friend was finally going to be able to join her outside of camp and thinks about how much fun they will have! Heatherpaw cheers as loud as she can when Burrowkit is given his new name, Burrowpaw. Birchkit also gets her ceremony, at last becoming a 'paw'. Afterward, Heatherpaw invites Birchpaw to come hunt with her, where she realizes she has a small crush on the new apprentice. Heatherpaw decides to keep it to herself, shy and confused. That night, her leg starts to act up, with a massive surge of pain in her front left leg. Burrowpaw attempts to comfort her by placing a paw on her back, but she is unable to sleep because of the strong pain. Heatherpaw tries to move out of the apprentices' den for the night so she wouldn't disturb anyone, but Burrowpaw stops her, saying that if she would be awake, he would be as well. Not wanting him to be exhausted tomorrow morning, she reluctantly moves back into the den and finally falls asleep, grateful for her best bud-

The next day, she and Rustlefeather talk about the warrior code: how it works, what's part of it, and why it's there. Heatherpaw often gets distracted while they talk about the code, not showing much interest, signaling that she didn't care all that much. She thinks about how she wished her leg wasn't hurting so that she could do 'real' training. Once they finally finish, Rustlefeather and Heatherpaw talk about life, and her mentor helps her figure out she's bi or lesbian.

    Willowwhirl and Birchpaw invite her to train a little with them, and she and Burrowpaw chat together afterward. While talking, Burrowpaw tells Heatherpaw that his teeth hurt, and she looks at them, observing that they were a little overgrown. To take his mind off it, they go out of camp and collect some fun items like feathers, snail shells, and flowers. While they talk, Burrowpaw tells her that he thinks he likes other toms and admits he'd flirted with one that day. Heatherpaw reminds him of what he once told her, and attempts to comfort him. The pair talk a little longer, and Heatherpaw asks if the tom he flirted with was from Thunderclan. Burrowpaw claims that he met him at a gathering, although Heatherpaw knows better. She tells him it's okay to tell her, and eventually they head back to camp. (bEsT bUDs- <33)

Before she knows it, another moon goes by and Heatherpaw is now 8 moons old. She trains and learns more with Rustlefeather about both hunting and fighting, spends time with her best bud, Burrowpaw, and also starts to become very sleep deprived. Heatherpaw finds it harder and harder to fall asleep at night, pressure and stress keeping her awake, staring up at the moon when everyone else is asleep. Her small crush on Birchpaw begins to fade as well. Many of her close friends and family start to notice her extreme clumsiness, stumbling, and yawning, leading to a few discovering her sleep deprivation. Not much happens for the first half of the moon. However, towards the middle, Heatherpaw's siblings, Yewkit and Batkit, both pass away from greencough which had also delayed their apprenticeship. She goes into a small depression, and the rest is just pure anger. Anger towards the world, towards life, herself, leaf-bare... A few nights after her siblings join Starclan, Heatherpaw meets a cat from Windclan named, Puddlepaw. They talk for a little bit, and somehow, Puddlepaw is able to help Heatherpaw feel better. They both discuss how they both dislike fighting, and the Windclan apprentice shares the idea of making traps to force cats to surrender, rather than fight. They agree to meet sometimes and night to discuss this more. Once it gets dark, Heatherpaw begins to head back to camp and thanks Puddlepaw, although he doesn't hear her.

Heatherpaw is now 9 moons old and continues to grow as a cat, and slowly get over the death of her siblings. The first biggest event after she turns 9 moons old is her third gathering! During the gathering, she constantly thinks about how nervous she is to talk to other cats and decides to stare at the ground, although, after a little while she becomes self-conscious and finally waves 'hello' to a random cat, which was Sproutpaw of Shadowclan. The tom and his friend (Firefly) end up coming over to say hi, causing Heatherpaw to panic slightly. Luckily, she's able to have a conversation without any stammering, and she feels proud of herself afterward. She also talks to a Riverclan apprentice, Antpaw, and she learns it was her first gathering.

-Accompanying Patchbriar back to Riverclan camp continue-

-Talking to Rainpaw continue-

A few days after the gathering, Heatherpaw is out in the forest, looking around for something she'd lost, when she runs into Antpaw, the apprentice she had met recently. She crosses the border, and Heatherpaw laughs, reminding her to stay on her side. Antpaw asks her what she meant, and Heatherpaw explains borders and territory to the apprentice, helping her to understand. Antpaw backs up back to her side of the border and asks Heatherpaw to teach her something. So she tries to teach the younger Riverclan cat how to crouch. Later on, after they practiced crouching more and chatted a little, Heatherpaw smells a mouse, and Antpaw asks if she can catch it. Heatherpaw tells her that because it was on Thunderclan territory, she wasn't allowed to take it, but Antpaw does anyway. Heatherpaw awkwardly tells her that she shouldn't have, and the Riverclan apprentice pushes it back to her, not upset or anything, and just grateful for the opportunity to practice. After that, they depart and leave for their own clans (on good terms- no fighting happened).

While practicing climbing a tree on a pleasant day in the forest, Heatherpaw is confronted by a lost Riverclan warrior, named Ripplewatcher. When they meet, Ripplewatcher tells her that on his way from the gathering, he lost his way and needed help getting back. So she agrees to walk with him back to the gathering place. As they walk back and talk, they discover that they are similar in many ways. (oop i forgot this roleplay a little so apologies if something is incorrect hhh)

-Heatherpaw meets Gingerpaw again continue-

-Talking to Peonypath continue-

When the time comes, Heatherpaw goes to the fourth gathering that she ever has attended in her life. Not much happens, but she meets Ripplewatcher again, and they talk a little. She also chats with a cat named Birchberry, who turns out to be very friendly and pleasant to talk to.

-Talking to Gorseburn continue-

On a nice morning, Heatherpaw is strolling through the forest when she meets a Shadowclan apprentice named Furzepaw. The tom seems friendly and immediately jumps into a conversation about prey, causing Heatherpaw to become slightly bewildered by his... confidence(???) at first. But as they talk longer, she calms down and they have a nice chat. Furzepaw tells her about lizards, and she makes it a goal to try one someday.

-Meeting Bellkit continue-

-Conversation Antpaw and Ripplewatcher continue (separate roleplays)-

-Talking to Rainpaw continue-

-Bellkit again continue-

It's been a little while since Heatherpaw had last talked with Burrowpaw... One day, she catches him in the nursery, decorating it for the new kits: his siblings. They talk a little bit, and Burrowpaw shows her two silver feathers that he found, which Heatherpaw finds beautiful. Burrowpaw gives one to Heatherpaw, saying that they could be friendship charms so that no matter what, they would always be together. (ahhh i love their friendship :D I'm so strange)

As she was walking around in the forest on a nice day, Heatherpaw finds Rosehaze, shivering and seeming sick. She rushes over to ask her friend if she was okay and help her. She tells the older warrior that she should go and see Snowsight, although they stray from that topic when Rosehaze tells Heatherpaw she wants to show her something. Her treehouse. The one Heatherpaw had heard about from her all those moons ago. When they climb up, the apprentice tells Rosehaze it was beautiful... and that she loved it. Right after, Rosehaze tells her that it's Heatherpaw's now. She is shocked and says she doesn't deserve it, but Rosehaze insists and says that she does and so much more, causing Heatherpaw to become slightly emotional. The apprentice hugs Rosehaze... for the first and last time ever...

Heatherpaw was hit rather hard by Rosehaze's death. She'd always looked up to the she-cat and wanted to be just like her. Rosehaze was Heatherpaw's friend. The apprentice claims that the warrior is probably happier in Starclan, and if Rosehaze is happy, Heatherpaw will be happy and will continue to stay strong. She is yet to be caught breaking down because of this event- but she has secretly. She misses Rosehaze greatly.

-Emotional conversation with Ripplewatcher-

-Training and a small chat with Rustlefeather after a while-

While climbing an extremely tall tree near Thunder Falls, Heatherpaw meets a loner named Lavender who was trespassing on thunderclan territory. The loner distracts her while she is climbing and Heatherpaw has a near fall, but luckily is able to get to the ground safely. When her eyes find Lavender, she has to remind herself to not stare because she finds the she-cat to be rather attractive... they talk for a little while, with a lot of blushing Heather moments (xDD), especially when Lavender called her 'pretty'.

-Last gathering as an apprentice + Meeting Hornetpaw-

-Meeting Bloompaw continue-

-Showing Lavender Rosehaze's treehouse continue-

-Chat with Burrowpaw continue- One night, Heatherpaw is sitting on a rock, sadly thinking about all the cats that she loves that are gone... dead. She describes how it felt like the cats who were represented by the stars in the sky, were angry with her for wishing that all her loved ones who were gone were there, with her at that moment. After a little bit, Burrowpaw comes over to her and they talk for a little while. Eventually, Heatherpaw admits what she is thinking about after Burrowpaw attempts to pry the information out of her for a while. He tells her that she can vent to him whenever, and she says the same to him. The two friends say that they will always be there for one another and hug. (i love their friendship <33)

-Meeting Scarred the loner continue-

- Meeting Ladybugpaw continue - While walking around near the Shadowclan border one day, Heatherpaw encounters a medicine cat apprentice named Ladybugpaw searching for herbs and humming as doing so. The two have a short but friendly conversation, hitting off to a great start for a friendship. Then they depart, and Heather heads back to camp, ready to receive her warrior name.

It is now time for Heatherpaw to receive her warrior name! She is now known as Heatherlion... <3

### *Adult Life*

- Talking to Bloompaw again continue -

Now a warrior, Heatherlion is going to attend her first gathering (she's been to gatherings before, just not as a warrior)! She sits far away from everyone, as usual, quietly watching all the cats in the area. Soon after Heatherlion arrives at the gathering area, Ladybugflutter, the Shadowclan medicine cat she'd met a little while ago, comes as well and they chat for a little bit. Eventually, their conversation steers toward a topic that reminds Heatherlion of her siblings Yewkit and Batkit, which causes her to feel a little sad. (to be continued)

- Talking to Bellkit and meeting Brookkit continue (separate) -

One night, Heatherlion meet Rosehaze in a dream. This is still close to the time that the she cat had passed away, so it kind of hurts to meet her, only for Rose to go away again. The two cats chat for a little bit and Rose congratulates Heatherlion on her new name. Takes place the night after her the day of her warrior ceremony.

- Trying to save Sunstar with other cats during a storm continue -

It's only been a day or two since Sunstar's death, and Heatherlion is still shaken by the event, feeling horrible and guilty. She believes that it's all her fault that she and the other cats couldn't save the leader. She attempts to escape from camp for a little while to think and encounters Ladybugflutter at the border - the two she-cats have only met once or twice so far. The Shadowclan medicine cat greets her and Heather tries to give her a little hello as well, but being as scared and shaken as she is, she looks bewildered and finds herself unable to properly speak. Ladybug asks her what's wrong but she still can't find words and ultimately breaks down, quietly sobbing. The other molly from Thunderclan's enemy clan doesn't hesitate and rushes across the border to hug and comfort Heatherlion, and the two talk for a while, Ladybug trying to calm Heather - she is successful. Soon, they begin having a pleasant conversation and at the end, Heather feels a load better. She thanks Ladybugflutter and the two agree to meet again soon and go to the starfalls. They also agree on Heatherlion teaching Ladybug a few battle/defense moves. Then they depart and head back to their clans' camps.

One silent and peaceful night, a shooting star soars through the sky and Heatherlion pads out of the warriors' den to watch it pass through the sky. While she is out there, her eye catches on her father, Thrushperch, who is also watching the bright sparkly star. He mutters something about wondering if the shooting star was a cat's soul coming back to live, and Heather just shakes her head, knowing it wasn't true. She tells that to her dad, plopping down beside him. For some reason, she feels angry being around him and talks sarcastically about how she's been getting along just fine *without* him. She's upset about how he was never really there for her when she needed him. -to be continued-

- Meeting Frondglow continue -

While sitting around in neutral territory near the Riverclan border and playing with butterflies, Heatherlion is confronted by a Riverclan apprentice with the name Hickorypaw. The apprentice demands to know why Heather is straying so close to the border and the Thunderclan cat almost reveals that she comes to visit her friends, Ripplewatcher and Antwhisker. Doing this isn't really against the warrior code (I think), but it still isn't encouraged. And Heather doesn't want her friends to be in trouble. But Hickory catches this mistake and tells her to continue, asking her "To meet who?". Nervous and stuck in a tight position, Heatherlion says what comes to mind first. Trees. She blurts out trees. Yes, Heather officially comes all the way to the Riverclan border to meet trees. Hickorypaw obviously doesn't buy this, and after they talk a little more, she mentions how there are many good trees but a few bad as well, and that a cat named Waspsnow is among them. This tells Heatherlion that the apprentice knows what she meant by 'trees', but she doesn't react.

- Rustlefeather’s death -

Shattered by the death of her father figure, Heatherlion heads to the Riverclan border, of course, hoping to find Ripplewatcher or perhaps even Antwhisker - someone who could give her advice, at least. Instead, she is met by Waspsnow who’s recently been allowed back into Riverclan. For some time, Heather manages to remain calm and just have a little conversation with Wasp. After their chat’s topic steers toward something that reminds the warrior of Rustlefeather, however, she grows upset and slowly starts becoming angry, taking out her anger and pain on the former exiled she-cat. Waspsnow calmly listens and tells Heatherlion that she knows how Heather feels, and this calms her.

Weeping and still shattered by Rustlefeather’s death, Heatherlion goes to her favorite tree located close to the Riverclan border, secretly hoping to meet her friend Antwhisker as they have not conversed for much longer than she’d ever wanted. Lucky for her, Any comes by and they begin to talk. However, after a series of Antwhisker complaining and talking, Heather blows up in her soft kind of way, telling Ant that she is kind of selfish and always worrying about herself, never caring much for what is going on in her (Heatherlion’s) life. The two argue for a while, eventually coming back to good but unstable terms and reluctantly hugging it out.

And way too much other stuff I’m too lazy to put here :,) just talking with many cats in ThunderClan camp overall

- Meeting with Ladybugflutter again continue -

In hopes of encountering her close friend, Ladybugflutter, while patrolling by the border shared by Shadowclan and ThunderClan, Heatherlion is met by a warrior named Dustymoss, who at first comes off as a blindly loyal cat to his clan at first, being quick to assume that Heather is an enemy waiting to attack with a group of ThunderClan cats. However, after some time of conversing, they get along better and Dusty believes that she is no threat in the end.

While wandering about near the Shadowclan ThunderClan border on a sunny, humid day, Heatherlion comes across a nice and friendly tom who goes by the name Burnsplash. She recognizes his name from the many times her best friend, Burrowdark, would talk about him, and she quickly grows very excited. The two get along very well, being quite similar in personality and interests. (To be continued)

## ✾ Quotes ✾

**➳** *"I know what I wanna do! Wainkit(Rainkit) got me some honey yesterday, so I wanna get him something![...]"* **Heatherkit to Rustlefeather**

**➳** *"Whooaaa I thought you can only be born in Thunderclan!? That's so cool that you weren't!"* **Heatherkit to Darkglow**

**➳** "*Mother, you are so amazing- any cat who hates you is a fool! You didn't fail them.... you didn't... it's not your fault, please don't blame yourself.."***Heatherpaw to Gorseburn after Yewkit and Batkit's death.**

**➳** *"If Starclan is a better place, why doesn't everyone get to go there?"* **Heatherpaw to Rustlefeather**

**➳** *"Well, you know that there are four clans. Each clan has its own territory, and borders remind us where the territory starts and ends. Crossing borders isn't really allowed and um... you just did that..."***Heatherpaw to Antpaw after she crossed the border**

**➳** *"She was... she was my friend... my inspiration... she was a wonderful cat and-" her voice cracks. "I miss her..."* **Heatherpaw to Ripplewatcher about Rosehaze**

**➳** *"I just realized that I've never seen heather before-"* **Heatherpaw to Bloompaw of Windclan**

**➳** *"I'd be too scared to even touch the water for any other purpose than drinking it and maybe just sitting by the shore-"* **Heatherlion to Ladybugflutter about swimming.**

**➳** *"It's okay Antwhisker - not everyone is always going to agree with you. I know that you're just trying to help, but if you just try and force your opinions on others, that'll drive them further away. You have to convince them, prove to them that Waspsnow has changed, but you cannot be forceful if you want them to agree,"* **Heatherlion to Antwhisker about supporting Waspsnow**

**➳** "Uh-- trees...?" she laughs nervously, her voice slightly higher in pitch as she says the last word. 'Trees'. Heatherlion was aware of how weird that sounded - who came all the way out here just to meet trees? Inanimate and very very silent trees? At this point, she'd say anything to move away from that topic. She would never want to get Ripple and Ant in trouble. **Heatherlion about coming to the Riverclan border to meet trees to Hickorypaw**

**➳** "Stop making it a contest for who's lost the most. Y’know, maybe you won't be disliked by so many cats if you'd stop \*trying\* to drown in self pity and bragging about your losses," **Heatherlion to Vexscar**
