Happy Mother’s Day! Here’s some of the moms so far in SOTM. We celebrate all mothers here, from the biological, to the adoptive, to the honorary.

“I could stay awake just to hear you breathing Watch you smile while you are sleeping While you're far away and dreaming I could spend my life in this sweet surrender I could stay lost in this moment forever Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure”

Hi!

Lighttail- An intelligent and kind she-cat. Lighttail is always trying to think of new ways to help her clanmates, and she tries her best to remember when cats have gone on patrols to ensure she doesn’t overwork them. Lighttail has made it clear that if any cat has any problems, they can come to her and she can try her best to help, she will even pass on suggestions to her leader anonymously if a cat wants to suggest something but is too nervous to let their leader know who the suggestion is from. Lighttail is great at improvising, and so she is great in a difficult situation, especially in battle, she can think her way out of almost anything, 13/10

Snowpuff - A friendly and gentle cat. Snowpuff is a very friendly cat who will not hesitate to help a cat that needs it, even cats from outside his own clan, and he will show them all the kindness and respect he would give one of his own clanmates, they are still a cat after all, where they come from shouldn’t affect how they are treated in Snowpuff’s mind. Snowpuff is a great listener, and he will always spare the time for a cat that wants to talk to him, even if it’s an elder telling a story that he has heard several times before. Snowpuff loves kits, and it isn’t uncommon to see him playing with them while their parents get a much deserved break, he is always gentle when he plays with them, he would be horrified if he hurt them in any way, 15/10

Thrushflight - An energetic and confident tom. Thrushflight is regarded as one of the fastest, if not THE fastest warrior in WindClan, and this is something he is extremely proud of, it isn’t uncommon to see if doing laps around camp to try and increase his stamina and speed, and no matter how far her runs he always seems to be up for a patrol afterwards. Thushflight will readily leap into battle as he is keen to show off his moves when the opportunity arises, he likes to use his speed to confuses his opponent before striking, and he is considered an excellent hunter, often catching rabbits like it is nothing, cats often praise him for his catches, attention which only boosts his already high levels of confidence, 15/10

The dark ginger cat turned her head, regretting the action a moment later as she saw the confusion on her sister’s face, although she had already sensed it in her own heart.

“You’re leaving?” Leafpaw set down the bundle of herbs in her jaws so that her words would not be further muffled. “Why? What could have happened?” She was calm; she’d always been calm, but this was too calm for watching her sister about to pad out of ThunderClan’s land. Had she seen into Squirrelpaw’s mind?

The reddish-orange cat shuffled her paws, turning around fully to face the smaller cat. Even when they’d been kits, the older cats had always commented on how different their sizes were. Perhaps it was no surprise that she was the warrior and Leafpaw was the medicine cat.

“I have to, Leaf...” The words were spoken with unusual solemnness. “These tormented ghosts, I see them everywhere, you know? Their leader, Cloudstar, says that my destiny isn’t with ThunderClan. You.. You’ve seen it,” Squirrelpaw added, noting the expression in her twin’s amber eyes. “I know you have, we’ve always seen each other’s minds!”

It was grief, now, that became the emotion in the small brown tabby’s eyes. “Yes, you’re right, but... Squirrel, what if I never see you again? What if all that I have of you is fleeting thoughts? What if...”

A similar sadness sprung into the flame-colored cat’s eyes, and she padded forward to press her nose to Leafpaw’s forehead. “Don’t worry, Leaf. I’ll always be there for you, even if I’m not in the same place. You can always talk to me. Just look to the stars above and speak!” Beyond sadness, there was hope and conviction.

Leafpaw exhaled, releasing a sigh that she’d been withholding. “You’re like Father,” she murmured. She’d met Firestar during the Moonstone visits, after all. “He watches both of us. He’ll keep you safe when you leave. But... I brought some herbs to strengthen you, too.” She pawed the bundle closer to her sister. “I can’t stop you, and I don’t know where you’re going. I know that you don’t either, but those spirits will guide you. ...StarClan has forbidden me from telling our Clanmates about this, Squirrelpaw. They’ll believe that you’re dead, and they’ll mourn you. But you might come back one day, so I’ll... that’s what I’ll hope for. Now, take the herbs, and go...” She had to hold onto her strength until her sister had gone.

Squirrelpaw licked Leafpaw’s forehead in reassurance. “I don’t know when I’ll be back, but remember that I will, one day, with SkyClan. I have to rebuild them, and they’ll become my Clan.” She didn’t have to say why she already knew that, they both knew Cloudstar had said it to be so. “One day I’ll come back to you, and everything will be okay.”
