Yes! I don´t have a lot of details yet, but here are some things I do have:

--During Rainflower Crookedheart and Hailstar´s meeting, he´s very vague when talking. ¨Yes we can have a name change.¨

Or maybe Crookedheart says that someone´s name should reflect exactly who they are, and Stormkit has changed so so should his name. And Hailstar just goes ¨wow what a concept. let´s hope it doesn´t backfire on you in any way.¨

++

--Unfortunately, Stormkit feels bad at first. In the book, he never wished harm on his mother, only that she would be proud of him. He definitely feels that it is his fault, and that now there is no chance of her loving him again. As he grows, and with help from actual loved ones, he accepts that it wasn´t his fault and that Crookedheart would have never loved him again anyways.

++

--It is very likely that Stormkit himself tried to convince Hailstar to change her name back to Rainflower, or to at least change his name to Crookedkit like his mother wanted. Hailstar gently refuses, but this only upsets Stormkit further. His family comforts him.

++

--A lot of Brambleberry, Echomist, Shellheart, and Oakkit/paw/heart being there for Storm

++

--Because they don´t want Crookedheart to take her anger out on her sons, she basically loses custody of them. She is not allowed in the nursery while they are there, and Oak and Storm are taken care of by Shellheart and Echomist.

++

Entire Clan is a protective shield around Stormkit whenever Crookedheart looks his way.

Oh she´s walking towards Storm? That´ll have to wait, I need her for something.

She wants to go on a patrol that Storm just so happens to be on? There´s already so many warriors on it already.. better wait for the next one.

++

--She liked gatherings at first because no one else knew her name changed, so she could pretend like it was still Rainflower. Eventually word spread, and she stopped going because

1) now everyone knew to call her Crookedheart

2) everyone also knew what she tried to do every direction she faces a new scowl.

++

New nursery queens try to be discreet (not everyone is always going to glare at Crookedheart, much as she´d deserve it), but Crookedheart can see them stirring their kits away from her.

++

She doesn´t hate Storm, but I feel like all the anger she feels will be cast to anyone but herself. -- She will avoid him even without the help of others, because nothing reminds her of who she really is and of what she tried to do than when she meets his eye.

++

She becomes a cautionary tale telling you to love your kit and keep them safe no matter what, or else you´ll become an ugly outcast.

Maybe in kit-tales they tell of a queen who´s features twisted, fur krinkled, eyes pussed. Who became as ugly as she was on the outside as she was on the inside,

while her son, although his jaw was badly bent, had caring, clear eyes, glossy fur, the best laugh, and a willingness to do anything for his daughter.

When I said you could come ask me questions, this was not what i meant, @crystalpalacesasaki

No pasta or no potatoes for the rest of my life!?! HOW WOULD I EAT GNOCCHI!?

This question is giving me anxiety lol

Potatoes and pasta are, like, 95% of my diet. Cutting one out would be like cutting out half of my personality!
