Mintsplash

**Mintsplash** is a diluted calico she-cat with green eyes.

## History

Mintkit is born to Dawnfire and Houndheart, along with her sister Breezekit. From an early age, Houndheart proves himself to be very protective over his daughters. He dotes on them, and expresses frequently to his mate that he would shred any cat that dared to lay a claw on them. Breezekit absorbs her father's attention, but Mintkit over time feels entrapped by his intense protection. She spends more time with her mother, Dawnfire, and forms a stronger relationship with her while Houndheart continues to praise Breezekit.
Mintpaw is apprenticed, and given Blossomfawn as a mentor. The two work well together, and develop a positive relationship. Mintpaw befriends Willowpaw, and the two she-cats go hunting together frequently.
Mintpaw is later made into a warrior, and given the name Mintsplash. Her sister is named Breezeflower.
Mintsplash has a caregiving personality, and notices Peartuft isolating himself from the rest of the Clan. She begins to share prey with the older warrior and gives him someone to talk to. Mistcloud, becoming increasingly aware of Mintsplash and Peartuft's growing relationship, speaks to the she-cat one-on-one. Mistcloud tells her that Peartuft is a complicated cat with a lot going on inside of him, and that Mintsplash should be aware of this while getting to know him. Mistcloud asks Mintsplash if it's love, and Mintsplash replies by saying that she cannot say for sure.
Mintsplash continues to spend time with Peartuft, and realizes that the tom lights a fire in her that she hasn't experienced from any other cat. Peartuft confides in her one morning, and tells her that she is the only cat that can bring a smile to his maw. He tells her that he never expected to feel this way about any cat, and is relieved when Mintsplash reciprocates the feeling. The two eventually become mates, much to Mistcloud's disapproval.
Later, Mintsplash falls pregnant. Peartuft is extremely worried about her, and tells Frostcloud to keep an eye on her from early on. She moves to the nursery where Sagepetal resides, due to her improperly healed broken leg. Sagepetal, being Mintsplash's grandmother, shows interest in the upcoming kitting and tries to make Mintsplash as comfortable as possible as her belly grows larger.
Mintsplash gives birth to three kits: Mountainkit, Snowkit, and Aspenkit. Peartuft specifically names Snowkit on his own, due to her pure-white fur. Mountainkit and Aspenkit are named as an appreciation for the mountains. Shortly after their birth, ThunderClan is forced to evacuate during a flood. Mintsplash and Peartuft carry their kits to the abandoned Twolegplace for the time being.
When ThunderClan returns to camp, Mintsplash and Snowkit fall ill with a mysterious illness. They are sent to the medicine cat's den, where they weakly remain as other warriors depart in an effort to find a cure. Peartuft spends his time outside of the medicine cat's den, anxiously awaiting the fate of his family.
During Mintsplash and Snowkit's weakened state, Peartuft grows restless with the state of his family. He leads a rebellion, collaborating alongside Houndheart, and injure both Sunfire and Bearstep in the process. Due to the severity of Mintsplash's illness, Peartuft decides to leave her in the care of the medicine cat for the time being.
When Rootstar and his party return to ThunderClan, Mintsplash and Snowkit are given the newfound cure. Miraculously, both Mintsplash and Snowkit recover quickly and move back into the nursery. Mistcloud comes to Mintsplash in the nursery and tells her about the extent of Peartuft's outburst. Mintsplash asks Mistcloud why she stayed in ThunderClan and did not follow her brother across the border. Mistcloud tells her that her brother is foolish, and that he never should have fed into Peartuft's delusions.
In the following days, Mintsplash grows increasingly distressed about the absence of Peartuft. She had been disapproving of his recent actions, but desperately wanted her kits to be able to spend time with their father.
Over time, Peartuft's demands for his kits to be reunited with him grows stronger. Mintsplash is aware of this, and feels comforted when Rootstar instates nightly guards at the nursery's entrance. She bonds with Sagepetal, finding comfort in the older she-cat's calming demeanor.
Mintsplash's kits are later named apprentices, and are given the names Snowpaw, Aspenpaw, and Mountainpaw. Mintsplash proudly chants their names, but feels an ache in her heart for Peartuft. The next night, at the Gathering, Peartuft partially succeeds in a plot to kidnap his kits from ThunderClan. Snowpaw and Aspenpaw are taken, but Mountainpaw manages to slip away and is brought back to camp. Mintsplash is heartbroken, but vows to Rootstar that she will help get her kits home safe.
