## **Backstory**

HummingKit was born within his home clan of SlateClan. HummingKit was known for his playfulness and the protectiveness of his siblings. When the kit reached 6 moons old, he had become an apprentice and was given the new name, HummingPaw. HummingPaw didn't like training and the apprentice's chores at first, but he was able to get used to them as time went on. HummingPaw eventually became a warrior, earning the name HummingBird. HummingBird cheered up his clanmates when they were feeling down, and he always brought a smile to even the most serious of warriors. All Throughout HummingBird's life, he had struggled to live under the harsh ruling of SharpStar, but the tom never allowed this to stop being who he was. One day, the deputy WaterLilly, died on a patrol. SharpStar had to pick a new deputy and with the constant asking of the other cats within the clan, SharpStar unhappily chose HummingBird as the new deputy. HummingBird was very anxious at first when he was promoted to his new rank within his clan, the tom was worried that he wouldn't be responsible enough to handle this position. But HummingBird was able to serve his clan well. However, things took a turn for the worse when SharpStar lost their final life after being run over by a car near the two-leg village. HummingBird was very worried about if he could truly take care of his clan as a leader, but his clanmates reinsured him that he would be a great leader of SlateClan. HummingBird went to the Skypearl to receive his 9 lives, the 9th StarClan cats reinsured HummingBird that he would lead SlateClan into a bright future during his leadership. HummingBird, now HummingStar, returned to SlateClan to begin his leadership. The cats of SlateClan said that it was a great change from SharpStar's cruel treatment, HummingStar's clanmates enjoyed having HummingStar as their leader. When the deputy retired to the elder's den, HummingStar had to choose a new deputy, after receiving peer pressure from VineTail's family, HummingStar choose VineTail as the new deputy of SlateClan. The majority of the cats were upset that VineTail had been promoted to the deputy position, which caused HummingStar to be more distant from his clan. HummingStar lost his final life after being led into a dog pack by VineTail. When HummingStar woke up, the tom found themselves within StarClan's territory, he questioned why he was in StarClan due to the fact that the tom believed that he had let down his entire clan. But the StarClan cats who gave him his 9 lives reinsured him that he didn't let down his clan, which somewhat made HummingStar feel better about himself. HummingStar was one day visited by the StarClan cat DarkCreek about a prophecy that a new clan would be formed. HummingStar entered SunSpot's dream and was one of the cats to give SunSpots one of his 9 lives, HummingStar gave SunStar his 5th life, which was the life of joyfulness. HummingStar still remains in StarClan despite the collapse of SlateClan, he hopes that SunStar's leadership of HollowClan will be successful and long-lasting.
