## Life

### Kithood

Mint was a young mountain cat when she was separated from her family. She was swept downstream and survived by perching herself on a small log until a RiverClan warrior saved her from drowning. The warrior brought her back to RiverClan camp and it was there that she was given the name Mintkit. Mintkit would normally spend her time alone until she met a kit called Brightkit. The two instantly connected, and Brightkit offered to be Mintkit's adoptive sister. Mintkit was caught in the blizzard of RiverClan surviving from the current climate because of her fur. She was left in the nursery with an unknown queen, the current RiverClan deputy at that time and Stormpaw. Mintkit gets into a fight with Stormpaw after she admitted that she had disgust and disliking of Brightpaw because of her kittypet blood causing Mintkit to reveal her mountain cat heritage that Stormpaw also disgusts as well, Mintkit accidentally makes Stormpaw admit that he trapped Brightkit in the blizzard for an attempt of murder. All three other cats shame him for his deeds and the deputy makes him scout out to find Brightkit. Stormpaw almost got exiled but fortunately, Brightkit saved him by claiming he never meant to kill her, though Mintkit can see that isn't true. Mintkit is now annoyed and angered by how she isn't an apprentice even though she is a 9 moon old, she gets into a small fight with Brightpaw about how Brightpaw's adoptive mother Poppyflower about how Poppyflower completely ignored Mintkit when she was younger even thought Poppyflower had the most kits in the nursery at that time. Mintkit decides to run off from camp heading to the gorge to meet her fate, before she could jump Brightpaw catches her, Brightpaw escorted her back to camp where they both discover about Miststar's death as Mintkit had guilt flood over her as she practically distracted Brightpaw from saving Miststar, the thought she was the one who supposed to die was at the back of her mind distracted because she was training herself instead as she was growing impatient. A few days later Mintkit meets Puddlepaw and talks to Brightpaw, she becomes friends with Puddlepaw as the two had spar against each other Mintkit having the victory for all the training she did.

### Apprenticeship

Mintkit finally became Mintpaw at the same time as Brightpaw was given the name Brightstep. The next day Olivewind trained Mintpaw in hunting and fishing, the young apprentice enjoying her training. Later that day, however, Mintpaw became wracked with guilt over Miststar's death, believing that it was her own fault. Her selfless breakdown soon turned to a selfish one, however, as she sobbed about having very few friends, blaming on the fact that she had been made an apprentice late. A warrior named Vinecrash saw Mintpaw's plight and took pity on her, encouraging her to always look on the bright side of life. Mintpaw arrives at the gathering with RiverClan excited as this is her first gathering, she meets two ShadowClan cats who she makes friends with one is a warrior called Pheasantfur and the other is an apprentice called Blazingpaw. The next morning Mintpaw scared a young warrior, Foxstripe, who was picking out his prey with her reflexes and flexibility. He rather rudely questioned how she was able to do things like that, they end up into a big fight and Mintpaw forced Foxstripe to say "Mintpaw is the most talent and prettiest she-cat in the Clans!" in front of RiverClan. Foxstripe gives chase to Mintpaw discovering he might have a small crush on her. A moon later Mintpaw discovered Brightstep with a kit called Duskkit, having found the young kit abandoned in the camp taking her in as an adoptive daughter. Mintpaw complained about Brightstep's young age, but eventually gave in and became Duskkit's adoptive aunt. Days later Mintpaw interacts with Leafwing current RiverClan deputy, later that day Mintpaw walks around the edge of camp her visions of this so-called Minkstrike fill her head with anxiety... Mintpaw remembers Stormclaw's words before leaving RiverClan to become a rogue.

### Adult Life

Mintpaw left RiverClan after a fight with her sister in arms Brightstep, naming herself 'Minkstrike' as an act of rebellious anger and vowing to kill any cat who had wronged her. Days after leaving RiverClan Minkstrike encountered a kittypet called Max, their conversation soon interrupted by young RiverClan kit, out looking for her. Minkstrike's reaction was kicking the kit into a stream before dashing off. After Minkstrike slaughtered two cats that were crossing her territory Minkstrike entered a strange cave that led her to the dark forest. She was apprenticed by Rabbitspring and immediately started a long day of training, a few days after joining the dark forest Minkstrike takes a stroll down ShadowClans border to only meet her enemy Brightstep standing by the very same border. Minkstrike got into an argument verbal fight with her, only to be verbally destroyed by the young cat. Angered at this show of mental prowess, Minkstrike retaliated in the only way that she knew how; with physical violence. A few days later, training herself once again, she discovered that she had shadow-esque powers able to counter Brightstep's light, StarClan powers - this was now a level playing field, greatly pleasing Minkstrike. The next moon she joined ThunderClan, who were currently engaged in a war with RiverClan, seeking the chance for revenge on the cats who she believed had wronged her.

Minkstrike decided that she would be the cat who will lead the first attack on RiverClan. The next day she met a young ThunderClan apprentice - Skypaw - informing Thornstar about RiverClans plans, having pretended to be on their side for personal gain. Lightningstrike, Brightstep's sister and Skypaw's mentor, yelled at the young cat angrily, calling her a traitor and berating her, grounding her to camp until she was made a warrior. Minkstrike defended the apprentice but quickly found that Lightningstrike had the same quick wit as her sister, if not more so, causing Thornstar to have to step in and split the two apart. Confident in herself, Minkstrike told him of her own plan to attack RiverClan, but her plan got rejected after it was discovered that the opposing Clan had bordered off all entrances besides the main one.

Minkstrike led the patrol in only to discover that Hopepetal a ThunderClan queen was kept a prisoner in RiverClan. She angrily attacked Sunstone, the RiverClan medicine cat, to be ambushed by Lightningstrike. Furiously, she retaliated by killing her assailant, prompting Brighstep to cry out in betrayal, rushing out to confront the cat who had just killed her sister as the battle raged around her. With the powers of StarClan and the Dark Forest converging on each side, the fight between the duo became ever more ferocious, both feeling betrayed by the other. As they drew ever closer to the gorge, neither of them noticed until Minkstrike fell of the edge, falling into the river below as Brightstep reached out in an attempt to catch her. The prophecy completed, all spirit cats disappeared.

Minkstrike takes a visit to the dark forest when she washed up on shore, unknowingly meeting her sister's ex-mate Fallenclaw, the she-cat was suspicious of how the tom knew her sister. She left believing they were just 'friends'.

Minkstrike woke up on a shore of a lake only to discover she was at the far edge of no Clan's land. She only happened. to meet a ShadowClan warrior called Almondnose who inspired the idea of changing her name to Mintcry. So Mintcry and Almondnose went on downstream, Mintcry was almost hit by a monster while crossing the Thunderpath.
