Hopepetal

Template:The Four Clans cat template

## Physical Description

Template:Infobox event**Hopepetal** is a ginger tabby, slightly darker than Blazingfrost, looking almost like her shadow. She could curl up next to her mother and you wouldn't be able to see her unless you were looking for her. She is small, and lithe unlike her mother. Her paws and chest are white. Her eyes are a golden/amber, seeming to glow in the sunlight.

## Personality

Hopekit was an EXTREMELY bubbly kit. She was inquisitive and bouncy. Hopekit, unlike almost every other kit, follows the rules. She is very obedient and hates it if she disappoints her mother or her father. She looks up to her mother and seeks her approval like a moth seeks light. She loves to roll onto her back, exposing her soft belly fur.

Hopepaw matured on the outside, becoming less bouncy and bubbly to others, but, she still regained her bounciness (Is that a word?). She did become more strict about the rules, and if she saw someone breaking them (Cough cough kits trying to sneak out) she would put a stop to that. Hopepaw is a quick learner, and thinks in many different ways. But....she was never very focused. She could never sit still for a long period of time, to the annoyance of her mentor Rabbitflame, now Rabbitstar.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Hopepetal seems to have an unusual skill for getting hurt all the time. Whether it's because of bad luck or clumsiness, Hopepetal has become a permanent fixture in the medicine cat den.

## Mate and Kits

**Hopepetal** is mates with a Thunderclan cat called Emberskip. Emberskip and Hopepetal have been friends since their apprentice days, and expressed feelings for each other as soon as Emberskip (Then Emberpaw) became a warrior. It wasn’t long before Hopepetal was expecting. She later gave birth in Leaf Bare to four kittens, Frostkit, Dreamkit, Puddlekit, and Blazingkit. Sadly, Frostkit, her eldest son, died because of the cold. Hopepetal and Emberskip later found a kit in territory who they adopted. They named him Badgerkit. Later on, Hopepetal contracted greencough, which quickly spread throughout her whole body, weakening her to the point in which she fell into a coma for nearly half a moon. She awoke and her greencough had mysteriously disappeared. After that, she adopted a kit called Laurelkit.

## Life

### Kithood

Hopepetal was born to Blazingfrost and Thornpad of ThunderClan. She had three siblings: Dewkit, Brightkit, and Sneezekit. Soon after she was born, though, a flood came because of heavy rain. The whole camp evacuated, though they lost a few cats in the flood. Hopekit and her siblings looked down at the flood from safety, and Hopekit encouraged them to explore, saying that it would be fun. It was not. Pouring rains made paw holds impossible to find, so Hopekit and her siblings were slipping and sliding nearly the whole way. It wasn't until they had nearly reached the water that Dewkit and Brightkit thought it was a bad idea. Hopekit and Sneezekit agreed and they started back, but they had gotten too close to the edge. Dewkit slipped, and fell with a splash into the raging waters. Brightkit had lunged after him, trying to reach him, but she fell into the water. In horror, Hopekit watched as her best friend, Sneezekit, fell towards the edge. She caught her paw, holding her, crying.

Sneezekit let go.

Hopekit remained there, in that same spot, until the flood waters nearly reached her. She was nearly swept away, but was able to climb out of reach of the waters. She stumbled back to where the Clan was, crying. She was in shock and denial for a long time afterward. Hopekit was no longer the fun kit that everyone had known. She was serious, mature, and thought things through.

### Apprenticeship

Hopekit became Hopepaw at six moons. She was mentored by the extremely unlucky Rabbitflame. Why was he unlucky? Well, Hopepaw had gotten back her bubbly, curious, I-can't-sit-still attitude. It was hard getting Hopepaw to concentrate, but eventually, she learned.

Once, she fell out of a tree and landed into a thornbush, breaking her paw and getting stuck for 3 days.

When Lilystar died, and Rabbitflame became Rabbitstar, Hopepaw was ectastic. Her mentor was the leader, and her mother was the deputy! Sadly, Rabbitstar died, after being eaten by a wolf. Blazingfrost appointed Thornpad as temporary deputy, but that would eventually change.

Meanwhile, ShadowClan and ThunderClan were absolutely hating on each other, so obviously a cat from ThunderClan and a cat from ShadowClam fell in love. Lionpaw and Hopepaw met at the border and... Well, it was love at first sight. They kept meeting up. Eventually, Hopepaw was named Hopepetal and Lionpaw was named Lionfire.

### Adult Life

Hopepetal and Lionfire kept on meeting up. Meanwhile, both Sunstep and Emberpaw of ThunderClan has developed crushes on our dearly beloved Hopepetal, who was oblivious to them. Then, Lionfire suddenly died (A.K.A swept up into the endless tide of inactivity) and Hopepetal had to move on.

Shortly after Emberpaw received his warrior name, Emberskip, Hopepetal asked him to be her mate. He agreed, thank StarClan, or it would've been extremely embarrassing. Soon after, they had four kits, Frostkit, Blazingkit, Dreamkit, and Puddlekit. Frostkit was stillborn.

Hopepetal later adopted a tom kit named Badgerkit and a she kit named Laurelkit.

One day, after the blizzard, the nursery collapsed due to the snow - with Hopepetal, her five kits, and Brightkit, a RiverClan kit who had been caught in the storm - all inside. They were all buried under the snow and had to be dug out. Hopepetal caught greencough due to this, and had to move to the medicine cat den. She then went into a coma for a while.

When Hopepetal was better and out hunting, she was nearly cat-napped by a falcon. She brought the falcon down, killing it.

Soon after, Dreamkit and Puddlekit died of greencough.

Then Blazingpaw left for ShadowClan.

Then Laurelpaw nearly died.

Whilst Emberskip sunk into a deep depression, Hopepetal stayed strong. She gave birth to Flamekit, Pearkit, and Sparrowkit, though Sparrowkit died at birth. Emberskip was not there for the kit's birth or Sparrowkit's vigil.

Hopepetal then adopted Whitekit, Skypaw, and Petalfire. Emberskip didn't care.

everyone's dead woohoo
