# History

Autumn was born and raised a loner cat by her mother. She learned young how to survive, how to hunt, how to steal, how to heal, how to fight. She learned the law of the wild, knowing it was all for their own out there. She wasn't all that surprised when she was forced to bear kits without the father to help. After all, her mother had done the same for her. She was ready to raise kits and have them live on their own by the time they were four moons.

What she was not ready for was for two clancats to demand she raise their kits and be apart of their evil schemes. So, alongside her newly born daughters she had to raise three slightly older tom-kits. While one of the clancats named Thrushleaf hunted well for her, and kept her healthy, the other, Thistlesong, would threaten Autumn often if she dared leave the den they made for her. Autumn now found herself raising kits she was never prepared for- ones that could cost her her life.

She wouldn't lie and say their weren't moments where she was attached to the little tom-kits. Like all kits, they were cute and cuddly, and Autumn, despite her hard nature, was not opposed to cute and cuddly. But, she tried not to get too attached to them, or even her own she-kits. Even though Thistlesong claimed she would never harm a kitten, Autumn didn't believe her. With good reason, too. After all, why would a proud warrior cat force her kits to be raised away from their clan by a rogue, who often overheard their plots and ambitions for the young kits?

When the time came for Ashkit, Boulderkit and Gravelkit to finally be given to their new clans, Thrushleaf was given the order by Thistlesong to kill Autumn in case she spilled their secrets. Thrushleaf stuffed deathberries into a piece of fresh-kill that she gave to Autumn before leaving. Autumn was no stranger to deathberries. Her mother had trained her in the uses of herbs, after all. She gave the fresh-kill to a fox, grabbed her kits, and ran away from the clans.

But with young she-kits who were very needy for their mother's attention after having it divided with three toms, it was difficult to get very far. And as the moons passed, Autumn found herself content to stay with her small family for now, not willing to leave them. Perhaps some of those evil clancats' culture had rubbed off on her. She often found herself hoping Ashkit, Boulderkit and Gravelkit were okay too. More than she would like to admit. So when young Shadefur came along, many moons later, and offered for Autumn, Lilac and Pansy to join a group of rogue cats against the clans, who was Autumn to refuse?

She didn't know she was getting into another one of Thistlesong's schemes. Or, well, her legacy's schemes. And by the time she did, she had already passed. But, despite being forced to raise five kits, she had lived a good life. BoneClan wasn't all that bad, under Shadefur's rule, at least, and Autumn had acted almost as their medicine cat, having the most knowledge of herbs. She was respected and taken care of 'til her dying days.
