#brindlewillow

Nope, my girly pops have been through enough tragedy.

Brindleface loses her entire litter the winter Fire and his siblings are kidnapped. Their bodies have not even begun to rot before Bluestar gives them to her (heavily implying that she doesn't actually have a choice in the matter), leaving her no time to properly grieve. Leading to her odd, stilted relationship with the kits. She finds herself caring about them and is the closest thing to a parental figure they've got. Then Fawntail leaves and Flamesong dies and Fireheart sets his sights on revenge. She has another litter and takes in Cloudkit when he's too sickly to leave with his mother. Ashpaw is killed by Tigerstar to feed the dog pack (rest in pieces).

Willowpelt ends up with her first two sons being traitors to the clan. Graystripe has kits with a Riverclan cat, and eventually leaves and takes his kits with him to Riverclan. He does not return. Darkstripe meets with Tigerstar behind the clan's back and poisons his half-sister and is executed as a result.

These ladies deserve to rest peacefully in the background without anymore unwanted drama coming their way dammit!
