Beestripe

Beestripe is currently the mediator of OrchidClan. She kind of defeats the whole point of her role, though. Her job is to water down the tensions caused by the rebellion, but she pretty much just decided "to heck with that" and joined the rebellion instead. So, uh... yeah, thanks, Beestripe.

## Appearance & Personality

#### Appearance

Beestripe is a mottled dark ginger tabby with patches of golden-cream and white. She has light green eyes.

#### Personality

She's sort of sarcastic and sharp-tongued, but she's actually chill and somewhat lazy to the point where nothing genuinely bothers her, she just likes being grouchy and pretending it does because she finds that amusing. She's a good cat at heart and has a tendency to space out a lot. She's only mediocre at her job as a mediator, but she gets it done.

## Backstory

#### Kithood

Beekit was born in OasisClan alongside her brother Sparkkit. Her mom, Lousewhisper, died giving birth to her. Her father - Hollowfall - was kinda distant and sad to begin with, but his ol' pal Sleekfeather started visiting from HorizonClan. She visited so often that Beekit and Sparkkit started seeing her more as their mother than Lousewhisper. Sleekfeather and Hollowfall were pretty good parents to them.

Oh, right. Since Sleekfeather didn't actually do real mom things, Beekit and her brother were nursed by another queen - a cat named Lizardscale. Lizardscale had one kit, a she-kit named Loonkit who was one moon older than Bee and Spark. Beekit and Loonkit clicked straight away and became very close friends. Yay, friendship.

Nothing else interesting really happened during Beekit's kithood.

#### Apprenticeship

Beepaw became an apprentice. Yay, Beepaw! Sleekfeather and Hollowfall became mates after Sleekfeather left HorizonClan, which made Beepaw pretty happy. She still trained a lot with Loonpaw. Who her mentor was doesn't matter, because we don't know and we never will. When she was eight moons old, though, Lizardscale decided to leave the Clans and forced Loonpaw to come with her. Beepaw was devastated to lose her friend, but there really wasn't anything she could do about it. She took comfort in Sparkpaw, Sleekfeather, and Hollowfall.

Oh, and she also started crushing on her denmate Ryepaw, although she backed off a little after realizing he had a crush on a different apprentice - Songpaw. She didn't really like Songpaw because of that. She didn't get along with most of her Clanmates, actually. Beepaw was kind of rude and snarky, especially after Loonpaw and Lizardscale left.

Once again, she didn't do much during her apprenticeship.

#### Warrior Life

She was named Beestripe and continued existing for a while. Sleekfeather and Hollowfall had kits, giving her some younger half-siblings: Leopardkit, Hailkit, Rockkit, and Batkit. Beestripe was very happy about that and visited to play around whenever she could, but once they became apprentices, Sleekfeather moved back to HorizonClan and Beestripe was sort of miffed. Overall, she was just really discontent in OasisClan. She couldn't quite shake off her feelings for Ryetalon, and she was annoyed that Songfrost had been appointed deputy.

Finally, Beestripe decided to move to OrchidClan. She was just too salty in OasisClan. There, she became friends with the deputy, Leafshine. Batpaw had an accident at one point and was renamed Shredpaw because of the hideous scars he was left with. He then fled the Clans with Rockpaw. Sort of a bummer, but again, nothing could be done. Beestripe sort of just chilled.

She did nothing for a pretty long time. Then Leopardfire joined OrchidClan to be with some dude named Birchbreeze, and they had Saffronkit. Beestripe was glad to have her half-sister in the Clan with her. She also liked Saffronkit and would occasionally pop in to visit. Shredpaw came back to the Clans at some point and announced that Rockpaw had died, although they were both named Shredspots and Rockrunner anyways. Beestripe was pretty sad about Rockrunner's death. She was also sad when Leopardfire and Hailwillow died several moons later, and Shredspots left again. Also, Birchbreeze died when he was checking out the mountains by HorizonClan's border and a big rock fell on him. That was unfortunate. Beestripe was back to having no one but Sparkspring, Sleekfeather, and her dad.

She remained salty about Songstar and Ryetalon, although she hopes to have a chance with Ryetalon since Songstar is absolutely out of his league. When Lavenderstar closed off the borders, she was angry. She didn't like being cut off from all of her kin. She joined Leafshine and Palestep's rebellion, befriending the young warrior Redfire in the process.

She was given Flashpaw as her first apprentice. She trained him, because that's what mentors do. It was pretty chill. She was nice and proud of him and of herself once he became a warrior under the name of Flashfoot.

When the plague happened, she was once more kind of unhappy, especially since Redfire and Leafshine both got sick on separate occasions, but they both ended up being fine, much to Beestripe's relief. Pollencloud died, though, and Beestripe decided to take over as OrchidClan's mediator. So that is now her jam.

#### Mediator Life

Beestripe chilled. Since gatherings had been called off, there really wasn't much she could do with her new title - but she did her best to settle most conflicts between her Clanmates anyways. After several moons - much to her dismay - she received word that Sparkspring had succumbed to the plague. She was devastated and somewhat horrified. She's angry about the borders being closed and wishes she'd been able to see her brother one final time, since they hadn't even known their last meeting would be... well, their last.

Still, not everything sucked. The rebellion ended up working! Leafshine took control of OrchidClan, stripped Lavendersight of her leader name, and made her an elder. Beestripe was cool with that. If it had been up to her, she would have exiled Lavendersight, but she understands why Leafshine chose not to.

She's still concerned about Hollowfall and Sleekfeather, though, and currently, she just sort of vibes in her own little pool of sadness and distress.
