#lilycall

Lilykit was born to Brightpelt and Elmbreeze alongside her sister, Oatkit(fern), and her brother, Applekit. Unfortunately, Applekit did not live past two sunrises and Lilykit and Oatkit were the only two remaining of Brightpelt’s litter. When apprenticed, Lilypaw was given to Aldertail, a respected warrior and Lilypaw’s uncle. Lilypaw surpassed her peers in training, proving to be a prodigy at battle skills; with only wit and speed, Lilystar can disorient an opponent and throw them off balance. She is a stern she-cat, but not impolite, though when the fire of her temper is lit, she lashes out with a sharp tongue. She is an incredibly loyal member of BogClan and commands respect from her Clanmates without being tyrannical. She is thought of as wise and not likely to jump quickly into battle, preferring instead to use logic and conversation before she puts her cats in danger.

Lilycall, after receiving her warrior name, went on to mentor Otterheart, and then Slugstrike, training them to be two of the most elite warriors of BogClan. During her career as a warrior, Lilycall fell in love with Scorchtalon, a brave and ambitious warrior that surprisingly, was much unlike Lilycall herself and was characterized by impulsiveness and a willingness to attack quickly. Scorchtalon was charismatic and alluring, leading Lilycall to love her as a mate. When Lilycall discovered that she was expecting kits, she was excited to start a family with Scorchtalon. Bearclaw, Scorchtalon’s brother, fathered their kits as a donor. Lilycall’s litter was very weak when they were born, two kits perishing without names and one remaining -- Ryefang. When Foxstar’s deputy perished in a rockfall, Lilycall was named deputy. Scorchtalon trained Ryefang after requesting to do so. It was then that Lilycall started to realize Scorchtalon was not entirely who she thought she was. Ryefang had begun to share ideas that were very disturbing, but when confronting Scorchtalon about this, Scorchtalon simply told Lilycall that she was only preparing him in extremes so that he could protect his Clan. Doubt hung at the edge of Lilycall’s mind, but she still loved and trusted Scorchtalon to do what was right.

Moons into Lilycall’s deputyship, Foxstar succumbed to pancreatic cancer and Lilycall was given nine lives. Lilystar named Scorchtalon as her deputy, naturally. As the moons went by, Lilystar began to notice that Scorchtalon was speaking to other warriors of BogClan, sharing ideas of exterminating half-Clan cats and cats with kittypet or rogue blood. This frightened Lilystar, who dwelled for moons as her Clanmates began to get increasingly bloodthirsty with Scorchtalon’s encouragement. Lilystar found herself out of touch with her Clan. 

Lilystar followed Scorchtalon into the wetland late at night and confronted her, challenging her terrible ideas and revoking Scorchtalon’s deputy status under the light of StarClan. Infuriated, Scorchtalon attacked Lilystar, attempting to murder her. Lilystar found herself ripping the throat out of her former beloved mate, her lifelong deception so crippling to Lilystar that she would never heal from it. Lilystar gathered fox dung that had been left recently on the edge of the wetland territory and covered Scorchtalon in its scent, even picking up a few orange hairs to plant on her body, found in a dusty fox den that was abandoned long ago.
