 Physical Description

Ferretbounce has a fluffy golden pelt with light grey socks and tail-tip. She also has orange flame-like stripes on her back outlined in grey and a light golden mask around her green eyes.

## Personality

Ferretbounce is bubbly and energetic. She loves hanging out with her friends and practicing hunting. She's optimistic and always ready to do something. More recently, she's been learning to use her energy for things besides bouncing everywhere, and she's also been improving in her speed and hunting abilities. She's not the best fighter, but she's always ready to practice. She's also pretty smart, though she mostly uses her intelligence to plan strategies for hunting down prey or beating someone in a fight, should that ever happen.

## Life

### Kithood

As a kit, Ferretkit was always playing some kind of game or practicing her hunting moves, and she could often be found outside the WindClan nursery pouncing on a ball of moss. At 3 moons, she decided to sneak out of camp with Waspkit and Beekit, meeting Laurelpaw, Blazefur, and Breezeflash of ThunderClan after crossing the border. The kits came back soon, after having a nice conversation with the three ThunderClan cats. They were greeted by a worried Dreamkit and an exasperated Nutmegseed, who lectured them on the danger of leaving camp. While Ferretkit did feel guilty for leaving, her adventure had only fueled her desire to become an apprentice, and she kept practicing her hunting and battle moves in camp from then on.

### Apprenticeship

Ferretaw was apprenticed to Echofeather at 6 moons and leaped into her apprenticeship with the enthusiasm of a cat leaving camp for the first time (which she had already done, I might add). While Echofeather was ~~inactive~~ busy for most of her apprenticeship, she still found time train with other cats, like her siblings and friends.

She didn't get in nearly as many shenanigans as the other apprentices did, but her apprenticeship was not free from drama. A traitor had blinded Galewind, and, after a couple of moons, Lakedapple was falsely accused of being the one to blind him. Ferretpaw and her siblings were furious and embarked on many shenanigans to clear her name. Beetlepaw visited her in Twolegplace, where she had taken on the name "Charlotte". When he got back, Ferretpaw proposed that they try to find the traitor together, and he agreed. Following what clues they had, they attempted to figure out who the real traitor was.

Though the traitor wasn't yet discovered, drama still ensued. Beetlepaw and Stagkit snuck off to join Shadowclan where Charlotte - now Lakeblossom - and Sunblaze had joined as well. Ferretpaw and Leopardbriar were out hunting when a fox attacked them, and they swiftly realized that they couldn't fight it with just the two of them. They ran off to the nearest river and managed to lose its trail. They quickly headed back to camp, just in time for Ferretpaw's warrior ceremony.

### Adult Life

Not long after the fox predicament, Ferretpaw (along with Elkpaw, Snakepaw, Skypaw, Rushpaw, Beepaw, Wasppaw, and Dreampaw) had her warrior ceremony and was renamed to Ferretbounce. After a bit of celebration with the other new warriors, she had to head to the medicine den because she hadn't had time to get her fox wound treated.

Her wound healed quickly, and a lot of WindClan stuff happened, though Ferret didn't play a large role in any of it. The traitor was revealed to be Skynose--though she was still Skypaw when she blinded Galewind--and Skynose was banished from WindClan. Her brother, now Beetlewatcher, returned back to WindClan after the death of her other brother, Stagpaw, and all of the siblings were ecstatic at his return. Finally, most of the drama settled down and Ferretbounce was able to live in peace for once, and even get an apprentice, Cinderpaw.

The peace didn't last long, though. On a hunting trip with Beeskip, he and Ferretbounce realized that there was a fox on the territory. When they'd tracked it down to fight it off, they found Ravenkit backed against a tree. Ferretbounce and Beeskip leaped into action, getting on top of the fox and trying to get it away from the kit. This didn't end up working, and the fox tried to jump on Ravenkit. Ferretbounce leaped in front of the kit and the fox landed on her instead, tearing up her pelt and scratching her flank. Ironically, the fox also injured her in the same place as her last fox wound--a large gash on her front left leg.

From across the border, Lakeblossom had heard the commotion and come running across the border to help. She finished off the fox, but not before Ferretbounce had already suffered terrible wounds. Emberheart found them as well, and Beeskip managed to find some herbs, but it was too late. Ferretbounce insisted to Ravenkit that it wasn't his fault, and she declined all offers of herbs knowing that her time was up.

So the life faded from her eyes, and she went to join Stagheart in StarClan.
