### Siblings

### Friends

Moonmist

Maroontrance is the fourth kit in her litter and one of the more mature ones. She approaches life with patience and care. She's had a rough couple moons, but things can always get better. At the very least, the new leadership means that life in the Clan works the way it's meant to again.

## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

Maroontrance is a taller cat, though one of the shorter siblings. She stands at nearly 10 inches tall and inherited her father's long, thick fur. Her pelt is almost entirely dusty red, hence her name. Her fur has a bit of curl to it, a trait from her mother's side that isn't very noticable with Dahliaflick's short fur but is very clear on Maroontrance's longer pelt. She has thick tabby stripes patterning her fur and cream on her front toes. She shares her broader frame with her mother and her sister Quakeholly. She has contemplative gold eyes and frequently has clusters of lilacs in her tail as a tribute to her flowername.

### Personality

* Therapist sibling. She's the shoulder for all of the others to lean on
* She has eldest daughter energy even though she technically isn't
* Will tolerate anything. I do not mean this in a good way. You can take advantage of her for years and she won't do anything about it. She's very passive
* On the good side though she's very patient
* She's really creative
* Quiet
* Considered the mediator role at first but ultimately decided that she didn't have it in her to lay down the harder decisions of the job
* Deescalates when she can. Just backs down if she can't. Maroontrance doesn't win arguments unless the other cat lets her

## Background

### Kithood

Lilackit was born in late autumn in OrchidClan as the fourth kit in a litter of eight. She had five brothers and three sisters as well as her parents, Foresthowl and Dahliaflick. Her siblings' flowernames were Ilexkit, Mallowkit, Asterkit, Rhodedendronkit, Snapdragonkit, Hollyhockkit, and Goldenrodkit. The flowernames stuck for quite a while for some of them just due to the size of the litter.

Lilackit was a fairly quiet kit. She got along well with most of her siblings - Hollyhockkit thought she was boring and Snapdragonkit was just kind of rude, but the others were pretty cool. Life was good in OrchidClan despite the world heading toward winter. Lilackit didn't have to worry about the cold weather thanks to having so many kits to cuddle with at night.

Outside of her own family, there were five other kits in the nursery. The eldest were Leafkit and Coniferkit. They were being taken care of by Beechspring, one of Dahliaflick's friends. Beechspring also had a kit of her own, Lionkit. He was a moon younger than his foster siblings and four moons older than Lilackit. The last kits in the nursery were Moonkit and Thornkit, who were a moon older than Lilackit. Lilackit ended up being good friends with Moonkit a little later in their kithood.

### Warrior Life
