### Generation:

1

**Foxtail** was a FireClan warrior under the reign of Rockstar and Mossstar, formerly an apprentice of EarthClan and a warrior of BloodClan.

## Childhood

**Foxkit** was born to Silverclaw and Flamesong alongside her brother Bubblekit. The two kits gained respect from EarthClan as they were Silverclaw and Flamesong's first litter. **Foxpaw** was apprenticed to Cherrystar who could see lots of potential in Foxpaw.

At her first gathering, Foxpaw met Branchpaw, and they chatted most of the gathering. The two decided to meet up in secret to talk, and did so for a long time. She told her clanmates that she believed the clans should be allowed to mix and meet more often. The EarthClan cats did not agree as it went against the warrior code. Foxpaw was taunted by the other apprentices because of this.

Cherrystar told Foxpaw that she was talented and she may become a warrior soon.

Branchwood ran away from FireClan after it was revealed that he was meeting up with an EarthClan cat in secret. He ran into EarthClan territory where he was found by a patrol. Foxpaw and Cherrystar noticed during a training session and came to investigate. Branchwood said that FireClan 'found him out' but that only made sense to Foxpaw. Foxpaw declared that she could handle Branchwood and spoke kindly to him, telling him that he had family and friends in FireClan who would forgive him. She concluded it by hissing at him and telling him to leave, and Branchwood ran back over the border.

EarthClan camp was attacked by wolves, killing every last EarthClan cat but Foxpaw. Foxpaw guarded the nursery as there were newborn kits inside. She lost her post when one of the wolves ran at her and she fleed, exposing the nursery entrance. She could do nothing as she watched in horror as her clanmates were murdered. The last cat standing was Cherrystar, who was cornered by a wolf after being killed several times already. She spotted Foxpaw and yelled at her for help, but Foxpaw stayed frozen. Before getting killed, Cherrystar declared that Foxpaw's warrior name would be Foxdung. **Foxdung** fled the scene and ran blindly through the territory.

Foxdung collapsed in the entrance to FireClan camp, traumatised, shaking and crying. She was helped by Sorreltail who persuaded Rockstar to let her stay in the medicine cat den to heal. Foxdung could only speak once she woke up after being given some herbs. She claimed that all of EarthClan was slaughtered by wolves. FireClan was sceptical, but it was confirmed when EarthClan did not appear at the gathering. Foxdung was asked her name, and she called herself Foxtail on the spot, feeling to ashamed to admit the truth, and knowing she wouldn't be accepted into FireClan otherwise. Foxdung was known as **Foxtail** from then on.

## Early Adulthood

After healing, Foxtail was accepted into FireClan. She felt out of place at first, but she got to know the other warriors and they were welcoming and polite. Foxtail now lived in the same clan as Branchwood, who was being the most supportive of all. Foxtail felt guilty for not telling him about her true story.

As Foxtail settled into FireClan, her and Branchwood became closer and closer until Foxtail found herself pregnant. She began sleeping in the nursery and had two kits: Tailkit and Thunderkit. Once her kits became apprentices, she moved back to warrior duties, only to find herself not happy with where she was. She felt out of place among the other FireClan warriors and still had guilt in her for the death of EarthClan. A little into Tailpaw and Thunderpaw's apprenticeships, Foxtail decided to leave. She got up in the night and left the territory, stirring Branchwood. She left over the field to the Twoleg place, seen by a night patrol. Her absence was reported to FireClan.

Foxtail stumbled apon BloodClan who said they would allow her to join them if she proved herself by killing a dog. Foxtail felt this was her way to prove that she could have killed the wolves, and that she had learned her lesson. She killed the dog with all of her pent up anger for herself and the wolves that ruined her life. Foxtail was allowed into BloodClan as 'Fox'.

## Mazefall's Fire

On a patrol with BloodClan, **Fox** spotted smoke in the distance. Apon closer inspection, Fox saw that FireClan territory was in flames. She abandoned her patrol and ran onto the field towards FireClan. On the field she found Bushpelt who had escaped the territory, losing every other cat on the way. The two ran back into the forest to search for any other FireClan cats that they could save. Whilst in the forest, Fox and Bushpelt heard Branchwood crying for help. They ran to the sound and found a fallen tree, hearing Branchwood on the other side of it. They told Branchwood to jump onto the branch and leap to the other side. Branchwood could not respond as he kept coughing through all of the smoke. Fox got more and more desperate until she herself leapt onto the fallen tree. It was high and she was hanging on with her front claws. Over the tree she saw Branchwood dead in the flames and Mazefall looking over his dead body, smiling. Mazefall spotted Fox and turned, her smile fading but showing no sign of care for Branchwood as he died. Fox, through shock and panic, lost her grip and fell into the flames. She went unconsious and was rescued by Bushpelt, who lept into a river with her to cool her and save her from the fire.

## Mazefall's Death

Fox's body was placed at the foot of the mountain in the fields. When she woke, she spotted Mazefall talking to a crowd of other FireClan cats, Rainwhisker and Branchwood's dead bodies on the ground. Fox had no hesitation and lept at Mazefall, biting her neck and killing her instantly. The crowd of cats yelled at her, confused and shocked. Dazefoot, Mazefall's sister, revealed that Mazefall and Dazefoot had been meeting in The Place Of No Stars, and Mazefall wanted to kill Branchwood because he loved Fox not her. Fox yelled at Dazefoot for not doing anything to prevent the death of Branchwood. She called Dazefoot evil for going to the place of no stars and said she would never join StarClan when she died. After yelling at Dazefoot, tears in her eyes, she ran over to Branchwood's body and sat beside him. She grieved for him before he was burried, and refused to let Dazefoot come near him.

## Late Adulthood

Fox was accepted back into FireClan as **Foxtail**, removing her collar and dog teeth. She served as a warrior, but was now grim and stoic. She had gotten used to being a BloodClan cat and had lost so many cats closest to her. She served as a warrior for many more moons.

## Foxtail's Death

Foxtail was killed by Dark Forest Mazefall in The Light Of The Dark. She was bit in the neck at the start of the battle, and StarClan Branchwood killed Mazefall for revenge. Foxtail woke as a Dark Forest cat once the battle ended. She saw that she was a Dark Forest cat and was horrified. She ran over to Branchwood who was standing over Mazefall's dead body. Branchwood yelled at Foxtail for ending up in the Dark Forest, killing Mazefall and being a jerk to everyone. He says that she was worse than Mazefall, before turning his back on her and running away through the trees. Foxtail, crying, turned around to see the EarthClan cats she let die standing infront of her as StarClan cats. They yelled at her with looks of pure hatred and anger. Foxtail saw Bubblepaw among them, angry and upset. Cherrystar yelled at Foxtail for being evil and ruining EarthClan. After their confrontation ended, the EarthClan cats left, and Foxtail was left alone.

## Dark Forest

Foxtail became a Dark Forest resident and joined the other cats there. She had no particular care for StarClan or the Dark Forest, not involving herself in the war. Instead, she serves the cats with prey and acts as a warrior incase battle is required. Foxtail hates herself but knows she can't keep feeling sorry.

## Broken Code

### Rule 1

*Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.*

Foxtail joined BloodClan and fought with them instead of with FireClan.

### Rule 2

*Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.*

Foxtail trespassed on FireClan territory twice, both as an EarthClan cat and as a BloodClan cat. However, both times a clan was in danger, so she was not punished.

### Rule 6

*Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.*

Foxtail never sat vigil for her warrior ceremony, as EarthClan died and she never had a proper ceremony.

### Rule 11

*Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.*

Foxpaw did not stop Branchpaw from coming near EarthClan territory, and she was peaceful to Branchwood when he trespassed on EarthClan territory.

### Rule 12

*No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.*

Foxpaw did not help save an EarthClan litter from the wolves, despite taking it on as her responsibility.

### Rule 13

*The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.*

Foxtail did not go by her warrior name, despite being named by her leader. She also did not help Cherrystar fight against the wolves.

### Rule 14

*An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.*

Foxtail killed Mazefall when she let Branchwood die, instead of reporting to FireClan and getting Mazefall exiled.
