**Floodfield** is a dark gray tom with lighter and darker markings spread throughout, with a long pluming fur hiding a strong frame. He has bright green eyes.

He was born as Floodkit to Splashstone and Rockpelt, along with his sister Hailkit. As apprentices, the two were very close, with Floodpaw’s serious and mellow personality fitting well with his sister’s more cheeky and light-hearted personality. He wished to be leader with her as his deputy.

Over the latter moons of their apprenticeship Hailpaw grew distant, and Floodpaw could not figure out why. He eventually gained the name Floodfield at his warrior ceremony, and she became Hailfeather. What should have been a happy occasion was not to be, as the day after their ceremony Hailfeather disappeared. Her scent trail ends near the RavenClan border, leaving Floodfield to believe that was killed by RavenClan cats.

Moons after her disappearance, Floodfield brought himself out of his depression in order to honor her memory. He became deputy of WillowClan and eventually leader, becoming a symbol of peace for the Clan.

## History

June 2, 2015 2:32 PM

Floodstar is settled by the stream, watching the minnows as they pass with no real urge to catch them. Suddenly, Brookshine crashes into him and splashes water everywhere. Floodstar jokes about her dropping in. Brookshine tells him she has never tried hunting a rabbit before, and Floodstar mentions that his mentor taught him once. He offers to work with her to try and find the rabbit again.

She explains that his mentor, Lichenpad, taught him to hunt specific land prey after a particularly harsh leaf-bare froze the lake and rivers.

They track the rabbit for a bit before they lose it over a stretch of marshy land heading towards the AspenClan border. After a few moments, Floodstar manages to catch the scent again and mentions it to Brookshine.

The two joke as they track it, and finally have it in their sights. Floodstar instructs Brookshine to be ready as he stalks it. He leaps, but his timing is off, and he sends it running into Brookshine’s jaws. They catch it successfully.

The two joke about RavenClan cats and how they must smell to them as they head back to camp. Floodstar tells her they should hunt together again sometime, as he thoroughly enjoyed it, and Brookshine agrees. She asks him if he would like to share the rabbit, and he says yes.

Brookshine mentions the idea of hunting more land prey, and being cautious of RavenClan cats, and Floodstar declares that as long as he is in charge, he won’t let them be pushed around. Floodstar decides that he would like to incorporate this kind of hunting into the apprentices’ training from now on.

Floodstar goes into detail about how he hasn’t changed much since his warrior days. He is still cautious, and the idea of losing a life is not a pleasant one. He says that only cats with strong will-power can stand losing a life, or even becoming leader in the first place, as the nine lives ceremony is not for the faint-hearted.

Brookshine must depart quickly, as she forgot that she was due for a border patrol, and Floodstar bids her farewell.

## Quotes

**Brookshine**: Hey, you might be a leader, but you're still a regular cat. You were a normal WillowClan warrior once. So what if you have fancy nine lives now? Even leaders need to let loose every once in a while, and be reminded that they can be normal, too.

**Floodstar**: You make a good point, but if you talk to any cat who knew me as a young warrior it'll probably become apparent that being leader hasn't really changed me much.
