## Backstory

### Kithood

Ryekit was born alongside her sister Meadowkit to her mother, Sorrelsprout, who was a single parent at the time since their father had been absent; he had recently discovered he was homosexual and had ran away with a loner named Mandrill. Sorrelsprout was still angry at her ex-mate, despite him doing the right thing and not cheating on her, so she never paid much attention to her kits.

Ryekit and Meadowkit were very close because of this. They took care of each other and did almost everything together, and luckily other queens were there to look after them while Sorrelsprout sulked. Ryekit and her sister were proper, kind little kits.

### Apprenticeship

Ryepaw was apprenticed to a cat named Silentdusk, and she thought they were pretty cool. They were always nice to Ryepaw, and her sister, and they always let her train with her sister as well.

She also made friends with a slightly younger she-cat apprentice called Flamepaw. Flamepaw didn't seem to think much of her, but Ryepaw stuck with her through thick and thin, and since Flamepaw let her tongue run wild and she seemed to own the room when she walked in, Ryepaw thought she was really cool.

Ryepaw found herself wanting to spend more and more time with Flamepaw. She just thought Flamepaw was a really good friend to her at first, but she started to get more romantic thoughts about Flamepaw, and she discovered that she was attracted to she-cats. She told her sister about it and being the good siblings she was, Meadowpaw kept it a secret.

Ryepaw was made a warrior at 12 moons of age and so was her sister, and Flamepaw was made an apprentice a few moons later.

### Warrior Life

Ryepaw was made Ryepelt, Meadowpaw was made Meadowdream, and Flamepaw was made Flameflower. She thought Meadowdream and Flameflower's names were very pretty.

Ryepelt was a bit upset to find that Flameflower had gained a mate called Marshthicket, and she hated it, but she felt a bit jealous. She thought Marshthicket was just a cheater and a disloyal fox-heart, but immediately felt bad after if she ever thought anything about that. But I mean, she wasn't wrong.

At twenty-eight moons old, she found that Flameflower was expecting kits, which she was excited about. She was happy for Flameflower and constantly talked to her in the nursery, as well as being friends with the queens in there it was a good time.

At twenty-five moons old she found her sister just flat-out went missing. She had no idea where Meadowdream went and she was heartbroken, but luckily Flameflower was there to help her cope.

And finally, at twenty-six moons old (Ryepelt was 30), Flameflower gave birth to Sparkkit, Woodkit, and Flipkit, and Ryepelt thought they were darling. Marshthicket, like the idiot he was, was usually absent and Ryepelt loved helping Flameflower take care of her sons, though she was a bit sad that Woodkit was always rude to her. She just kind of wondered why he never liked her but she still loved the little rascal.

About a half-moon later she was startled to find Flameflower and a few other cats chasing Marshthicket out of camp, and when Ryepelt asked what was wrong after she came back to her kits, she explained that Marshthicket was caught cheating on her, and she and the other girls he toyed with chased him out. Ryepelt comforted Flameflower through that.

When she was thirty-three moons old, she was given Sparkpaw to mentor, which she was happy to have one of her best friend's kits to mentor. She and Flameflower ended up growing closer during the time that she mentored Sparkpaw, of course in her free time they always hung out. She was surprised with a confession from Flameflower that she loved her a few moons later, and Ryepelt was overjoyed. They became mates and Flameflower told her before anything else happened, they needed to tell the kids. Ryepelt agreed.

They told the boys, and she was happy to find Sparkpaw and Flippaw excited and loving to their step-mother, but she was a bit shocked to find Woodpaw angry. I mean, she had always knew that Woodpaw didn't like her but to find him so angry at her was a bit of a surprise. He claimed he 'never wanted another mother' and was shouting about how his father was so overlooked and that he never got to know anything about him. Flameflower tried to reason with Woodpaw, but they only got into a heated argument and Ryepelt protected the other boys while they did so. Eventually the news came out about Marshthicket on accident from Flameflower and the argument came to a close.

More time passed after that, and when Ryepelt was 40 moons old, Sparkpaw became Sparkbounce, Woodpaw became Woodswipe, and Flippaw became Flippounce.

After all three boys' vigils, Ryepelt introduced a plan to Flameflower, Sparkbounce, and Flippounce that they could hold a sort of intervention for Woodswipe to try and make him understand and feel better about the whole stepmother situation.

Well, turns out, Woodswipe was still angry, and that plan failed horribly. In a blind rage, Woodswipe killed Flippounce and injured Sparkbounce and Ryepelt who had tried to calm him down. Flameflower hated herself for being so cowardly that she couldn't intervene and was devastated at the loss of two sons; one dead and one exiled. Her only remaining son was Sparkbounce who had pulled through the thick and thin.

Sparkbounce had helped Ryepelt cheer up about everything and they both cheered up Flameflower, which she appreciated a lot. Now she's fifty-one moons old and just vibes with her wife and son.
