HISTORY

KITHOOD

  Squirrelpaw was born on a beautiful spring day, but the perfect weather was soiled with the metallic smell of blood and the howls of a she-cat in pain. Two well established warriors, Daisyfur and Spottedfawn, were starting their family, but disaster struck when Daisyfur, weak from a former illness, died after kitting. The couple barely had time to celebrate their children, giving them names just before she passed. Three kits were born in total, Newtkit, Scarletkit, and finally Squirrelkit. The coming weeks were difficult for now single father Spottedfawn, grieving his mates loss as well as caring for his kittens. He rejoiced once his kittens finally opened their eyes, healthy and happy as they looked about the world, but he noticed something strange about Squirrelkit, she wasn't opening her eyes. Juniperpounce said she might be a late bloomer, but when she finally did open her eyes for the first time her eyes were cloudy, her steps unsure as she bumped into her father. Otherwise she was healthy, tackling and playing with her siblings. Spottedfawn was worried about her future, if she would be safe, if she could live happily as a warrior... however their fears were answered when the young kit wandered to the medicine cat den one day, following the sweet scent of herbs. Squirrelkit adored the lovely scents of the den, sneaking in when she couldn't hear the medicine cat to roll in the dried leaves. Spottedfawn, anxious when he couldn't find his kitten, called all over for her. Squirrelkit obediently mewed back, but was shocked at her father's anger. Spottedfawn scolded Squirrelkit for ruining some of the stored herbs and for sneaking off from him, having become increasingly overly protective. However Juniperpounce quelled this fire, defending Squirrelkit and saying that her heart was leading her to the den, that this could very well be fate. Spottedfawn calmed down, his fur still puffed up, but he considered this future for his kit. That night he spoke to the leader and medicine cat, pleading that Squirrelkit be trained as a medicine cat apprentice. They agreed, but only on the condition that Squirrelkit herself agreed to it when she came of age, allowing the to-be apprentice to decide her own future. Spottedfawn was overjoyed, hopeful for a bright future for his beloved kit.

Squirrelkit remembers her kithood fondly, and despite her father's constant watch over her, she enjoyed a happy and free life. She grew increasingly close to her siblings and other kits at the time, her soft voice soothing. She often ended up cuddling with the younger kits, whispering stories to them until they fell asleep. She didn't want this calm quiet life to end, the sound of the river lulling her to sleep every night, tucked into her father's stomach. But eventually the day came, and while her siblings knew their futures, Squirrelkit was unsure... She could learn to fight and hunt blind, to become a warrior, or she could become the future medicine cat, helping others through medical knowledge. Both had their challenges, though her heart lead her to medicine. She didn't want to fight, didn't want to kill or hunt, she wanted to heal and be a voice of aid. But she was insecure, she wasn't sure if she could handle the pressure of the entire clan's health on her shoulders... it took many days of long thought, nose pointed towards the stars, before she could decide.

APPRENTICESHIP

  At the age of 6 moons it was time for Squirrelkit to secure her future, to decide what path her paws would take. She went to the medicine cat, her cloudy eyes shining with determination, she had chosen, she would be a medicine cat. It would be a real challenge, and she feared it would be more than she could take, but she had to try... she had to prove to the clan that she was independent and could live her own life. She is worked hard to recognize herbs by smell and treat cats by touch, her tail always high with a cheerful song hummed from her lips. Juniperpounce was a patient and kind mentor, always vocal about her methods so Squirrelpaw could commit them to perfect memory. The apprentice learned quickly, her lack of sight no issue as muscle memory and scent took over. She could wrap a cats wound as quickly as a sighted cat, could explore the territory on her own without risking falling into the clan's gigantic waterfall. She was perfectly independent and capable under Juniperpounce's excellent guidance.

However it was such a short blissful mentorship, for as soon as Juniperpounce came, adopted as her mother figure and most trusted friend, she disappeared. Squirrelpaw was distraught, she couldn't imagine the medicine cat den without her! It felt so empty and lonely, and even the sweet sage and lavender couldn't lull her to sleep most nights. Her eyes were raw from tears and for a time she was simply a red fluff curled up in the den, simply waiting for her mentor to return. But seasons changed and her clan needed her, she couldn't wallow in her grief! She had to stand on her paws and care for the clan, especially when their own leader, Budockstar, died. It was around this time that Squirrelpaw reemerged, determination and the fear of disappointing Juniperpounce pushing her forward. She traveled with Moonblaze to receive her nine lives and become Moonstar, leader of RushingClan.

ADULTHOOD

Soon after, Squirrelpaw received her full name, Squirrelheart, and became the official medicine cat of RushingClan. She was overwhelmed with the responsibility, but she stood tall before her clan, she knew their health and safety rested on her shoulders. She would take what Juniperpounce taught her and continue to learn through experience. There would be difficult times, and moments when she believed she couldn't do it, but then she would smell the gentle fragrance of coltsfoots and remember Juniperpounce's warmth. Was she watching from StarClan?

So soon after earning her name, Berrypaw was named her apprentice! It felt strange, but she knew she had so much to impart on the younger cat. She hoped she could be as good a mentor that Juniperpounce was to her.
