## Physical Description

Antwhisker is a light beige color she-cat with dark orange brownish patches on her ears, tail, back, and paws. She has another patch on her face in the shape of a raccoon mask. On her paws, she has a small stripe above the patches on her paws, in a ring like shape. Her tail is short and lean, just like her body type, and ends in a fluff.

## Personality

Antwhisker is an enthusiastic, determined, spunky, and naive warrior. She has a childish demeanor despite her age, and sometimes can be very playful with close friends. (=) Being an extrovert, she tends to feel better around other cats over being alone, as it makes her feel depressed.(-) After her sister’s death however, she has become more paranoid and hesitating.(-) Sometimes when approached with a change, she will shift slightly and brush her tail, feeling uncomfortable. (-) However, she’s always willing to be loyal to her friends, trying to trust everyone. (+) This can occasionally make her seem selfish, as she tries to make everyone happy (-)

## Skills and Weakness

Quite fast and can swim surprisingly well. (+) Whenever she has a goal or dream, she most likely accomplishes it. (+) However, sometimes her passion gets in the way of her view in life and obscures her thoughts and emotions at times, sometimes making her self absorbed, but not often (-)

## Life

### Kithood

[[Growing Up]] Antkit was born to Leopardthorn and Quilldawn in RiverClan with her three siblings, Spiderkit, Beetlekit (Beetlestrike), and Hornetkit (Hornetflame). She usually stayed in isolation, mostly just playing with her siblings. The she-kit would play fight with Beetlekit, chat with Spiderkit, and compete with Hornetkit. All of them would have great fun together. When Antkit was around four or five moons, she began hanging out with her future mentor, Charfrost. They would talk and explore together and soon Charfrost began taking her out of camp to explore. Antkit enjoyed when Charfrost would compliment her and fuel her dream of becoming the strongest warrior ever. The older warrior would call Antkit ‘Star’ casually, which the tiny kit enjoyed. They explored Silver Falls, where Charfrost taught her how to swim. She wasn’t the best at it, but over time she learned more, allowing her to grow into a great apprentice.

### Apprenticeship

[[Apprenticeship]] Now an apprentice, Antpaw was joyfully apprenticed to Charfrost. She and her mentor shared a sister like bond when it came to training. Charfrost took Antpaw to Silver Falls and began exploring the territory with her.

- - -

[[Meeting Heatherpaw/lion]] Later at night, she went to her first Gathering where she met a nice she-cat named Heatherpaw (Heatherlion (TC)), a ThunderClan apprentice. They had an awkward friendship, Antpaw being extremely enthusiastic while Heatherpaw was sensitive and nervous. Both returned to their own clans happily, only to meet a few days later at the ThunderClan border. Antpaw, who hasn’t learned clan boundaries, begins to play on ThunderClan territory. Heatherpaw spots her begins to explain to her what boundaries are, and their importance to the warrior code. Excited to learn more, Antpaw asked to learn how to hunt and is taught hesitantly by Heatherpaw. She catches a mouse on the opposing side of the border. Unfortunately, the code condemns her from taking the catch to RiverClan, instead handing it over to her ThunderClan friend. Surprisingly, the apprentice is glad for the practice over the disappointment of losing her catch. Soon, Heatherpaw and Antpaw begin meeting daily at their side of the border. They chat and have fun, occasionally teaching each other new skills. Antpaw catches her first mouse and returns to the clan feeling very happy.

- - -

[[Training w/ Mentor]] She meets up with her mentor, Charfrost, to show of the prey. She’s happy to be praised. Little did Antpaw know, but Charfrost was slowly dying of cancer. However, her hope filled mentor still takes her out of camp in order to teach her fighting skills. First, Antpaw learns how to brace a surprise attack, then learns to pounce from trees and other helpful moves.

- - -

[[Charfrost’s Passing]] The apprentice lives her life to the fullest, until she starts hearing that her mentor was ill. Antpaw didn’t even get to say goodbye to her... but the she-cat’s best friend had died of cancer. Poor Antpaw was devastated, but luckily, Ripplewatcher and Honeydawn managed to cheer her up, by comforting her with knowledge that they could all visit her in StarClan. Ripplewatcher starts training Antpaw, just how Charfrost did. They race and share a super cute moment together.

- - -

[[Quilldawn’s Passing]] Just when she begins to feel better, her mother, Quilldawn, gets killed by a badger right in front of her, Waspsnow, and her sister, Hornetpaw. Needing support, Antpaw visits her good friend Heatherpaw, now Heatherlion. The two share a time of calm together, both reminiscing of the loss of Quilldawn and Heatherlion’s friends. They chat for awhile before she meets up with Ripplewatcher again. He confronts her, desperately trying to cheer her as the apprentice’s positive demeanor was not the same. Moons seem to pass before the she cat finally returns back to her normal, happy personality.

### Adult Life

- - -

[[Apologizing and Finding Waspsnow]] Antwhisker goes to confront Waspsnow, wanting to apologize for talking behind her back. She finds the loner crying by the river. Hornetflame was forced to choose between Hickorypaw and Waspsnow, because she loved both of them. In the end, Hickorypaw was chosen, leaving the warrior heartbroken. The two have a sweet moment and Antwhisker decides to convince people that the older warrior deserves a second chance. She talks to Hickorypaw and Hornetflame, insisting they could see Waspsnow’s good side. To no avail, they both get upset at her for backing up a so called ‘murderer.’ Hornetflame and Antwhisker get in a huge fight, ending with both sisters heart-broken and Antwhisker running out of RiverClan. Her wounded back leg starts becoming sore, the cobwebs ripping off and the injury reopening. She finds Waspsnow in the woods before collapsing of exhaustion. The she-cat shares everything with the older warrior, who convinces her that she’s a smart, positive, wonderful cat and not a fox brain like she was described as. Finally, Antwhisker succumbs to taking the high route and apologizing. After a quick, brief preptalk with Heatherlion, she goes to confront Hornetflame, which may have been the biggest mistake of her life.

- - -

[[Huge Argument w/ Hornetflame + Near Death :]] Antwhisker walked into RiverClan camp, and begins calling for her sister. She hopes that Hornetflame can find peace and break their long argument. Finally, the she cat finds her and starts pleading for forgiveness, explaining her solemn and how lonely she’s been without her and that all she wanted to apologize, However, instead of the reply Antwhisker hoped for, and even expected, Hornetflame instead starts screaming at her, telling her she didn’t care at all for her feelings, that she had to give her a time to forgive and that she didn’t have to forgive somebody if she didn’t want to. Antwhisker insisted they should just get over it and let go of grudges, but Hornetflame states it’ll never work. If they just make up now then they’ll sustain a terrible relationship then on. She tries to persuade her sister one last time, but Hornetflame refuses and bursts into tears, running off into the den. She had accused Antwhisker of never being there for her and never caring about her or other cats feelings. The she-cat feels taken aback by this, but soon she realizes what her sister means. For once in her life, Antwhisker believes she truly is a monster and starts imagining all the terrible things and conflicts she has created. Suddenly, Hornetflame breaks from the warriors den and dashes out of camp. She looks up, seeing her sister furiously sprint out of camp. Without hesitation, Antwhisker runs after her, just to see her jump into the river. The she cat lets out a panicked wail and jumps in after her. As she swims all the way down to the bottom of the swaying river while ignoring the small current pushing her to the surface, Hornetflame pushes herself further down and refused to come up. Antwhisker manages to grab her paw and pull her out. Running out of breath, she begins to swim to the surface herself, when her bandaged paw gets stuck between two rocks, the cobwebs intertwined with all the minerals. Panic rushes through her, but she tells herself to stay calm. The warrior manages to push one of the rocks off, but by then she was running low on oxygen and couldn’t hold her breath longer. Hornetflame looks down at her sister, who had saved her life, and realizes she meant her apology. She dives in to free Antwhisker, who was unconscious now, and manages to bring her sister to the surface. Both cats are exhausted and wounded to the point of collapsing. The she cat suddenly finds herself in camp, Hornetflame dragging her towards the medicine den where Beechstorm awaited them. The medicine cat rushes them into the den and helps them recover, Antwhisker still wondering how she managed to get to camp. The dazed she-cat looks over at her sister, who is much more wounded then she is, and realizes she jumped in to save her. Before able to express her thanks, she allows herself to subconsciously fall asleep to exhaustion.

- - -

[[Mentor!]] While resting in the medicine den, she hears Blazingwing calling the clan together. Her interest sparked, she limps outside the den. The deputy is giving Cammilekit (Camillewish), Asterkit (Astersky), Indigokit, and Poseykit apprentice names. Remembering her ceremony, the she cat happily padded over to join them. When she least expected it, Blazingwing gives Cammilepaw Antwhisker as a mentor. She’s shocked by this and goes up to greet the former kit. The two had met moons ago when she was still an apprentice and Cammilepaw was younger, allowing them to already have a spark in friendship. As happy and proud she is to explore territory with her new apprentice, Antwhisker starts wondering if she’s prepared and ready. The she cat tells Cammilepaw to go rest up in the apprentice den and that they would explore tomorrow to give the she cat a few days of recovery.

- - -

[[Resting and Lying and Anxiety >:]]A few days pass and Antwhisker has begun to heal, her leg feeling much better than before. She’s annoyed at being condemned to the medicine cat for the most part, not wanting to cause trouble. Being more bored than ever before, Ripplewatcher just so happens to pad in. Antwhisker greets him with a wave of her tail. He tells her how much he and Heatherlion were worried for her and she insists everything was perfectly fine, saying Heatherlion was probably overreacting. The she cat talks to him about her new apprentice, trying to move the topic away from his question about the fight with Hornetflame. She began to talk about how anxious she was about being a mentor, scared she may teach Cammilepaw something that’ll get her injured or hate her. Antwhisker begins to belittle herself and start wondering if she’s good enough. As she walks out of the den, she’s greeting by Frondglow (Frondglow), who questions her paw. Not wanting any cat to worry or rumors to spiral, she insisted it was perfectly fine.

- - -

[[w a n t \*ehm\* I mean, love confessions >:]] Antwhisker decides to go visit Waspsnow, who was banished to No Clans Land. They talk a bit, enjoying themselves. Soon, she returns home after a refreshing day with her. Moons pass and Waspsnow returns to the clan. The she cat is enthusiastic and immediately goes to re-welcome her. However, instead of a normal greeting, Waspsnow begins showing her true feelings to Antwhisker, even touching noses with her. She’s shook to her core by this, surprised and in shock. As she prepares for sleep that night, Antwhisker hears a distant call from Waspsnow, who’s asking her to come out of the warriors den. Tired, the warrior padded out. Waspsnow confesses her true feelings, saying how beautiful she was and that she did really love her. Still in shock, Antwhisker says she does really like her back, however the she-cat wonders and even doubts if there is more for her before realizing this was enough. It was all she needed. The two leave camp, enjoying each other’s comfort at a flower field by a nearby river. A few peaceful moons pass before things get jumbled up again.

- - -

[[Fight w/ Heatherlion]] The warrior bumps into Heatherlion while hunt one day, however things are off. They hadn’t met it awhile, so things were uneasy. Little did she know, her friends old mentor had recently passed, and was keeping to herself. Antwhisker starts talking to Heatherlion about her problem with Waspsnow, when she realizes something was upsetting Heatherlion. She was quieter than usual, and hadn’t moved much from her place. When she asked what the problem was, Heatherlion insists its nothing, but upon further inspection, she knows her friend is lying. Antwhisker always believed that Heatherlion would never lie, so she asks again. The she-cat responds with ‘You’ before cutting herself off. Something seems to almost posses the older warrior, as Heatherlion’s screams about how Antwhisker only thought about herself, not caring for other peoples problems and being a self centered character. This brings back memories to when she and Hornetflame got in a fight, her sister saying something very similar. Realization seems to hit her, and she tells Heatherlion she was right, before rushing back to camp.

- - -

[[Hornetflame moves to ShadowClan]] She collapses in camp, and Waspsnow is there to comfort her. They talk a bit, before she finds Hornetflame sitting alone. The she cat walks towards her, and they begin catching up. She talks about her interest in leaving the clan, going to ShadowClan to find herself. Antwhisker understands, but deep down she’s depressed, and begins stressing out if something goes wrong or if she’s attacked or injured. Later that same night, Hornetflame announces her departure, cats wishing her goodbye. Antwhisker watches from a distance, waving her tail and wishing her good travels. However, she begins regretting not saying much. The she cat is unable to sleep that night, and wakes up to find Waspsnow. She asks if Hornetflame was still here, and she says Hornetflame had already left. Hiding her tears, she disappears back to her nest.

- - -

[[Hornetflame’s Death :(]] Antwhisker wakes up, hearing distant screaming. Almost instantly, she sprints over to the scene. As she pads closer, she notices Hornetflames limp body, cats surrounding it. She watches in terror, slowly backing away, hoping it was all a dream. The she cat suddenly feels a chill down her spine as her sisters ghost appears. Antwhisker attempts to hold back tears as she hollowly speaks to her sister. The two chat, ending with Antwhisker giving a harsh remark, feeling pain and regret over everything she had said to Hornetflame

- - -

[[W A N T I meannn mates :D]] Moons pass, and Antwhisker was starting to recover from her sisters death. She is greeted by Waspsnow one day, who ushers her outside. Suddenly, everything goes quiet as they walk towards a river. She had a flower covering her blind eye and slowly stopped, taking a few deep breaths. Antwhisker looks around, asking what the purpose of this was. Waspsnow confesses to Antwhisker, saying how much she loved her, asking for them to stay together and be mates. Antwhisker was in utter shock, emotions flooding through her. Tears brim her eyes as she runs up to Waspsnow and hugs her, saying yes. They spend the rest of the day chatting, wishing on pebbles as the roll them into the river.

[[Daisypaw/speckle Adoption!]] While asleep, Antwhisker was awoken by an unfamiliar she-kit. The small kit had a flower crown on their head, while grasping another one in her mouth. “H-Hi Mom! This is..l this is for you!” She said, holding it out to her. Shifting her glance at the cat, Antwhisker flinched in hesitation. She didn’t say anything, instead looking her up and down. “D-Do you not like me...” the kit mumbled, tears forming in their eyes, “N-No I-“ Her sentence was cut short as the kit ran off, crying. Antwhisker blinked in confusion, feeling nonetheless unsettled. Suddenly, the kit returned grasping against an older warrior. It was Waspsnow, who had a blank expression. “Antwhisker.” Waspsnow said softly. “This is Daisykit! I found her at the border and decided to adopt her!” With a sigh of relief, Antwhisker nodded, looking down at Daisykit. “I’m sorry about earlier... I’m Antwhisker..!” She purred welcoming of, hesitation in her tone. Daisykit sniffled, padding forward and placing the flower crown on her head. She chuckled, curling her tail around her. Waspsnow grabbed Daisykit by the scruff and began to walk away, smiling and waving her tail goodbye to Antwhisker.

[These Events happen AFTER the adoption of Waspsnow and Antwhisker’s daughter, Daisypaw. I would add information, but I don’t have context and am unable to re-fabricate those events. Just to clarify ^^]

- - -

[[Revealed to have Kits Soon!]] Antwhisker began to lay low for awhile, starting to feel comfortable in her skin. She had recovered from Hornetflame’s passing and was granted her wish of living a happy life with Waspsnow. Though falling out with Heatherlion and not only still angered with her friend, but just straight up fallen out of touch. Wanting to reconnect with her clan, she goes to visit Waspsnow. As she pads to the warriors den, she hears cries of joy as her mate bursts out of the den to greet her, crying with joy. Antwhisker feels a bit taken aback and uncomfortable, shifting at her friends gaze. It was kind of weird for her, as she usually was immediate to a set emotion of joy. Shaking her head, she asks if Waspsnow is ok, who responds with the delightful news of their soon to be born kits. A StarClan cat had met her in a dream and allowed her to bear kits. The she cat is in shock, not sure how to feel, whether to express concern, happiness, shock or even joy. The two fall asleep together, full of bliss

—(Too lazy to write out an entire fight with Nettlehaze but uh, there’s Waspsnow drama, distrust, they aren’t the best of friends now pfft)

[[Hickorysnap Death (thunderstorm)]] One unfortunate day, Antwhisker found herself looking up at the dreaded gray clouds. Thinking it would rain later, she chose to go out fishing before the storm began. Of course, being Antwhisker, she spent too much time looking at her reflection in the water as raindrops rippled the river. It had begun to rain, no, storm. Thunderstorm. Because of her thin fur, the she-cat found herself freezing in the cold rain as she desperately searched for shelter. Fortunately, or.. unfortunately, she bumped into a small tree where Hickorysnap spotted her. Her old frenemie stood in the clearing as Antwhisker walked to greet her. Nettlehaze hasn’t shown up yet, but was asleep curled up in a hollowed tree. It was at that moment when a tree snapped, thunder booming in the distance. There was a sudden yelp, a cry, as smoke and flames lit up into the air. The flames tongues weren’t in any mean intimidating, but they sparked smoke into vastly covering the ground. Hickorysnap was under the tree. Antwhisker should’ve helped her.

Waspsnow arrived. In the bushes. Stalking the trapped she-cat. Antwhisker couldn’t hear their conversation over the booming thunder and rain, all she heard was a faint cry and the thumping of a limp body as Waspsnow stepped away from Hickorysnap. She. Had. Killed. Her.. Antwhisker didn’t want to listen to her mate’s countless pleads, whether or not it was by Hickorysnap’s request. Why had she given this cat so many chances... why why... why.

[[Daisyspeckle’s Death]] It had happened so fast for Antwhisker. She was clearing her head in the forest when just like last time, the similar grief settled in her stomach. She looked over to see her adopted daughter, Daisyspeckle, limp on the ground. She padded hesitantly towards her before Waspsnow rushed forward, screaming. This scared her into backing up. She could hear the she-cat whimpers and approached. Though Antwhisker blocked out Waspsnow’s calls, she slowly rested her tail on her flank. “Daisyspeckle… it’s gonna be ok..” she whispered. “I’ll always love you-“ Antwhisker blanked out from sorrow for the next moments, but her daughter was dead. And with her expecting kits, she felt overwhelming anxiety.

- - -

[[Kitting]] The queen was just sitting in the nursery before immerse amounts of pain passed through her. She could feel sharp kicks from her chest as she struggled. Her kits were coming, clearly. Before she knew it, Waspsnow had entered the den, panic and awe struck on her face. Russetkit was born first, eldest of his litter. She was dazed, gulping and feeling lightheaded from the pain. Her eyes were clouded with misty tears from the pain, having table making out her kit. Before she could attempt to clear her vision, the next kit, Cascadekit, was born. Very quickly after was Sunkit, identical to Waspsnow. The queen was exhausted, and felt as if she would pass out from the amount of sharp pain she was going through. Waspsnow comforted her as Antwhisker whisked her tail around the kits to bring them closer. Finally, Pumpkinkit was born. All three were in perfect health. Antwhisker was overcome with strong emotion; pain, exhaustion, and utterly, emotional joy. Finally, she managed to make out the beautiful kits, some of them already scrawling around and mewing hungrily. One was even clawing at the air restlessly. Looking back at the four kits nuzzled by her, she and Waspsnow began to name them. “Russetkit.” She looked at the tiny, ginger-brown tom nestled by his siblings. “And that one is Cascadekit.” The kit chirped at it’s name, appreciating it supposedly. “Sunkit.” Waspsnow referred to the one identical to her. “.. that can be Pumpkinkit.” Waspsnow had taken the name suggestion from another cat; their cousins. Antwhisker cuddled against her kits, before starting to fall asleep.

[[Moment with Cascadekit]] She was awoken from silent mewing. Her kits were a few days old now, and they had begun talking. Cascadekit was playing around while her siblings slept soundly. Giving a soft moan, she pulled the kit back to her. “You’ll get cold if you stay out.” She nuzzled her, the kit purring in response. Cascadekit babbled some nonsense that somewhat sounded like ‘story’. A few moments later, Antwhisker had began to tell the story of StarClan and all of it’s many wonders. (‘check quotes for more info ^^’) Finally after a bit of talking, she finally fell asleep, allowing Antwhisker to lull to dreamland herself.

((\*edit: Antwhisker has passed away, her wiki will be updated shortly-))

## Notable Quote

”I’ll be the best warrior ever, and the best hunter! Then I’ll be leader! I’m so excited!”

~Antpaw to her mother, Quilldawn, after her apprentice ceremony

”StarClan watches over us, they are proud of what we accomplish.. and we should be proud of ourselves because of that.”

Anthwisker to Mistykit when she asks about StarClan

”Everybody deserves a second chance! Look at the good side of people, find it! Search for it, because looking at someone’s bad side never helps anyone! This is my motto in love and I stick to it!”

~Antwhisker to Hornetflame during their big argument

”What if there is more for me...No..no this is just enough...”

~Antwhisker thinking about Waspsnow after her confession

”If I had just been a better mate... I could’ve helped her! If I could have just stayed with her...!”

~Antwhisker to herself after hearing of Waspsnow’s injury and memory loss

”I don’t know why I didn’t save her.. I could’ve.. I had so many chances to- I should’ve pushed her out of the way, immediately moved the branch off her. Something. /Anything/. But.. I didn’t..”

~Antwhisker to Ripplewatcher after Hickorysnap’s death :(

“Yes, yes, StarClan. It’s kind of complicated to explain to someone as little as you but.. Well, StarClan is a very special place. Every cat sees it eventually, it just depends on when.. I guess when you decided it’s time to go.. or more likely, your spirit. It’s complicated..” + “Nobody knows when they’ll go, but from what cats have seen, it’s a magical place. Cats are lined with stars, and there’s infinite amounts of prey running around the starry territory that has no end.. It’s truly beautiful.” + “Hopefully you won’t go there anytime soon, my little one. As beautiful as it sounds, it means.. well, it’ll make many sad. Because you only get one chance to be here, with me, and your siblings. Once you’re up there, you can’t come back down. And people will be sad because of that.”

~Antwhisker to Cascadekit
