She joined the Tribe of Rushing Water as a To-Be and then Prey-Hunter before leaving. She wandered and lived nearby the clan territories but did not join until she was pregnant with her son, Ferretkit.

# History

Pool was a well-known friend of the clans, known for wandering around from place to place, group to group, almost always on her own. She was born to a loner she-cat and a tom from the Tribe of Rushing Water. She was raised as a loner’s kit for five moons before she was taken to the Tribe by her father, where, at eight moons, she become a prey-hunter to-be. It should be noted that her father and the Tribe attempted to give her a tribename, but she rejected it, refusing to let go of the name her mother gave her. Pool trained until she was an official prey-hunter, although, two moons after she became a prey-hunter, she left the Tribe to be a loner once ago. She met her mother briefly again before they separated paths. She had a few run-ins with the clans, skirting along their borders, and, despite her sharp-tongue, she never got into any trouble with them. She became well-known throughout the clans when she helped out a pair of stray ShadowClan kits, Hawkkit and Quailkit, when they had snuck out of camp. She performed a few other deeds too, like informing RiverClan of the rogues that held a grudge against them and were planning on attack, and helping ThunderClan track down a missing member, among other things. She once took refuge in SkyClan when she broke her front leg falling from a tree, and their current medicine cat happily helped her out. She had a fling with a rogue tom that resulted in her getting pregnant. She didn’t really want to take care of kits, so she went to WindClan, where they let her give birth and nurse her kits, or rather, kit, named Ferretkit. To her surprise, she also ended up nursing two stray kits named Rosekit, brought into the clan by Blacksnarl, and Gravelkit, brought into the clan by Driftleap. She had gotten older by the time Ferretkit reached six moons, and she decided to “retire” as the clancats called it, becoming an elder among their ranks. Her old bones were weary from always being on the move, and she content to rest in her mossy bed on the moor until she took her last breath.

Pool was a rather sharp-tongued, sarcastic cat who kept to herself most of the time and was rough around the edges. She didn’t share much about herself or her life, and she always believed actions spoke louder than words, so why bother explaining when you could just do? She also didn’t really like being tied to one place, especially the controlling air of the Tribe. She hadn’t had the best relations with her parents, always finding her father too pushy and controlling and she hadn’t been able to spend a lot of time with her mother, however kind and loving she was. That translated into her relationship with her son, Ferretstreak. They had never been super close, but they were never rude to one another, and Pool had always been proud of him.
