## Significant Others

### Mentor(s)

Grassheart, Silverdew

Ferretfur is a cream-colored, thick-furred, tabby, she-cat with bright yellow eyes.

Ferret was born under a she-cat named Jingle, and a RiverClan warrior, Shellfoot, who she never had a chance to meet. She had had three siblings, Misty, Wasp, and Wish.

## History

### Jingle’s Promise

> M-mom... Wish fell into the lake and she's not coming back up...
>
> Ferret to Jingle

At a young age of only 2 moons, Wasp was taken away by twolegs. This caused Jingle to take her remaining kits, and flee. They found a peaceful area in WindClan to live. Later, Ferret and her siblings were taken to the lake to play. Unfortunately, Ferret played a little to rough and accidentally pushed Wish off into the lake. After witnessing her kit drown, Jingle always had a grudge on Ferret. Silverdew, Silverpaw at the time, witnessed this and took all of the cats to ThunderClan. However, Deerstar, the current ThunderClan leader, took all the credit for himself.

Ferret met a young tom named Swiftkit, who allowed her to slow into clan life and learn hunting and battle skills early on. However, Jingle never got this opportunity and, being born a kittypet, struggled to understand the warrior code and gain basic hunting skills.

Many moons later, Ferret, now Ferretpaw, was taken out on her first battle, with her mentor Grassheart. She also was with her brother, Mistypaw, and his mentor Owlheart. However, sadly Mistypaw was killed in this battle, causing Jingle to run away from ThunderClan, finally having enough of Clan life.

Without her brother by her side, Ferretpaw grew even closer to Swiftpaw, perhaps even thinking about forming a bond even further then friendship.

### Danger Awakens

> Her heart ached when she thought of the tabby apprentice, he’d probably be searching every mouse-length of clan territory for her. But that thought also made her feel special.
>
> Ferretpaw to Swiftpaw,

Ferretpaw and Swiftpaw have grown closer, but maybe not in the best of ways. Their relationship could get in the way of their warrior duties.

One night after a hard day of training when Ferretpaw expects just dreams, she finds herself in the Dark Forest. However, before this nightmare of a situation starts, Ferretpaw catches a glimpse of the prophecy. Frostpelt, the old ThunderClan medicine cat, shares the prophecy with her, causing more intrigue by the second. She meets the supposed "leader" of the Dark Forest is a cat named Beestar. He assigns mentors to the four cats (Foxpaw, Goldpaw, Ferretpaw, and Swiftpaw) with Ferretpaw's "mentor" being Beestar himself.

When Ferretpaw awakens, she realizes that it is still the middle of the night. She decides to go for a walk to clear her head and decide what really just happened. While she is walking along the lake, she finds a small kit, Springkit. She thinks that it is best to take this kit back to ShadowClan, as she can smell their scent on him, but as she walks toward the ShadowClan camp she gets sucked into the lake, Ferretpaw tries her best to swim but, of course, she isn't a RiverClan cat. As Ferretpaw tries desperately to escape the clutches of the water, suddenly and unknown cat comes to her aid. She stares in amazement as she realizes it's Foxpaw!

Foxpaw takes her to WindClan where she meets their medicine cat, Aspenhollow. While Ferretpaw notes that she only wanted to save Springkit, not steal him, Aspenhollow sympathizes with Ferretpaw and agrees that she feels the same way. Suddenly, the camp breaks into chaos as ThunderClan streams into the camp. Grassfur attacks Foxpaw, and as soon as he makes the first move, all of the cats break into battle. Ochrepaw, the smallest of the cats fighting, is overwhelmed and is fatally attacked be a WindClan warrior. The ThunderClan patrol rushes over to his limp body, but they are too late to save him.
