## History

Alongside her brother Rufus, Gingerfrost, then known as simply **Ginger,** joined SteppeClan as a rogue, adapting her brother's suffix as her own as well. She was not as close to Thrushstar as her brother was, but had known of one thing: the leader had taken an interest in becoming her mate eventually. This made her incredibly uncomfortable, especially after her brother shared the intentions he had for the clan.

Upon Foxfrost's eventual appointment to deputy, she became one of his insiders to the upcoming death of Thrushstar. Around this time, she also met another cat: Patchy, who would later become the sole target of her romantic interest, and the father of her kits. Although not a direct insider, she would keep him informed of plans, even more so after her brother's prophecy. She was known to have been in constant emotional turmoil during the insider events, and during this time, grew closer with the black and white tom. She was one of the insiders assisting with the killing of Thrushstar, and although she felt guilty about it, she held no regrets in contributing to the betterment of her Clan.

Not long after Foxstar's rise to leadership, she became mates with Patchy, now known as Patchwhisker, and became her brother's temporary deputy during his indecisive period of choosing a deputy. However, this temporary deputyhood ended swiftly for her; she soon retired to the nursery, expecting her mate's kits.

### Roleplay

She is seen talking to her mate, then turning her gaze to her brother. She acknowledges the anxiety in his stare, then reassures her mate that they would be fine spending time with each other. Upon his retorts, she states that they would return as quick as possible. She then calls to Foxstar to confirm that they'll be fine.

She exits with Patchwhisker to hunt, failing to catch a mouse and desiring to be a warrior again. After a moment, he catches her a shrew for her to eat. She remarks that she's not feeling well, and states that they should return to camp. Midway through, however, she freezes, and he encourages her towards the heather to help her relax.

At this point, she knows it's obvious that she isn't going to make it home, then complains that she's hurting before Patchwhisker admits that he thinks she's kitting. After several minutes, she gives birth to her three daughters Squirrelkit, Tigerkit, and Spiderkit. Breezechaser offers to help the couple carry their kits home, and she, along with Spotpaw, help to carry the kits back to camp.

Upon Gingerfrost's return, Foxstar gasps that she's had her kits, and she replies to introduce his nieces before crashing in the nursery to rest.

## Trivia

* She was technically Foxstar's first deputy, although neither she nor her brother will acknowledge it.
	+ She doesn't want to return to deputyhood either; the job stressed her out and she feels as though Redwhisker does a better job than she did.
