Current

**Laketree** is a 66-moons-old reddish she-cat with white markings along her chest and stomach, on one of her paws, and on her tail. She has the 'Calm' personality and 'Good speaker' trait.

## History

Laketree joined GalaxyClan during year 2 with her mother, Aspenrunner, and littermate, Twigkit. Twigkit and her were almost twins, with very slight color differences. Laketree became the medicine cat apprentice, under the guidance of Poppywish, who let her sleep in the apprentices den, so Twigclaw wasn't alone. As a kit, Laketree had many signs she would be a medicine cat, like being visited by the previous medicine cat apprentice, Squirrelpaw in her dreams, being interested in herbs, and helping Poppywish treating Aspenrunner's injury, after she lost her eye to a dog. She wished that Poppywish would stop babying her, but eventually, she learned about Squirrelpaw and her unfortunate fate. She was very rational, and did her best to help the clan.

During year 3, she successfully became a medicine cat. She was still very close to her littermate, Twigclaw, but started to get annoyed and worried about how often the tom ended up in the medicine cat den with his injuries. She grew up to be a good speaker, and was really good at making cats listen to instructions, and getting fussy kits to listen and eat their medicine.

During year 4, she was the only medicine cat after the death of Poppywish, witch she was very upset about. She blamed herself for not doing more to stop the disease. She was still doing her best to do her duties, but she was grieving badly on the inside. She thought that being the only medicine cat is dangerous, and was considering taking on an apprentice, even though she didn't really felt ready to train one. She also helped in uncovering the death of Duskcloud, as she sought guidance from Duskcloud's spirit himself.

Year 5 was a really stressful year for Laketree. Before the sickness nicknamed 'Stonecough' began, she received an omen of a sickly bird falling from a tree, and without touching it, Laketree buried the creature using a stick to move it. Soon after that, the sickness began to spread. The disease stressed her out, and during it, she lost her mom, her brother, Tawnysun, who was her apprentice at the time, and Sandstar. She regretted not immediately ordering a quarantine like Poppywish had done with Stoneleaf last year, and she felt a little lost after losing her family, but seeing Twigclaw's daughter, Palekit, made her feel a little less alone. She grew closer to her last remaining kin, and was trying to bond with Hopwhisker. They were thinking about how Twigclaw was always there to help others, even in the cost of his own health. Laketree was once again stressed about being the only medicine cat, but she did received a prophecy from Poppywish, which was the sentence: 'There still lives a pale hope.'

During year 6, she was very busy with the injuries from the rogues, but she became more confident in her skills. She couldn't save Whiskerheart in time, but she did manage to save everyone else at the end of the battle, including a very badly injured apprentice, and she even made sure that Bluelight's eyesight was not completely lost, as he had almost been completely blinded by a rouge this year. During the rogue attack in the camp, she was protected by Ottertail and Emberfeather, when some of the rogues tried to attack her in the medicine cat den. After the fights ended, she took one of Ravenspot's and Aspenlily's kit as apprentice, who became Cinderspeck. She started to understand the prophecy she got last year, and had told Burdockstar about it.

During year 7, she died when she was 66 moons old, due to a contagious sickness. Earlier the year, she got a scar on her ear from a hawk. StarClan sent her a vision of a swarm of crows, which distracted her and terrified her, leading the hawk to get her ear. This was a warning of her future fate. She died at the same time as Hopwhisker, and Twigclaw welcomed the both of them in StarClan, her being his sister, and Hopwhisker being his mate.

Laketree gave Brightstar his 2nd life, first commenting how; "StarClan knew he was destined for this, from the day he was born." Referencing the "There still lives a Pale Hope" Prophecy. Fittingly, she gives him a life for Hope.
