mistle joined the new clan with his niece, tempest, in hopes of raising her in a stable community. he’s not much of a fighter and much prefers to stay back and construct the camp and help raise the kittens. even tho he cant be one in the game, im considering him a den dad. described as “loving”, hes a super sweet guy who anyone can confide in….

except for tempestkit. she’s a hard nut to crack. despite her young age, she’s already faced a lot of trauma. she, her mother, and her uncle had spent their lives as loners, with her mother having been abandoned once she got pregnant, and her uncle ditching their twolegs to help his sister. tempest was the only one of her litter to survive, and each cat struggled to find enough food to sustain one another, especially since mistle and her mom grew up never having to hunt in the wild. the adults ended up getting into several scrapes with other cats to steal their own prey. tempest’s mother didnt survive one of these scuffles, and poor tempest and mistle had to witness her death. mistle decided to risk leaving twolegplace in favor of the grotto, despite still not being able to hunt. several times he considered leaving tempest at a twoleg’s door for her own safety, but ultimately didnt trust twolegs because of what happened to his sister.

tempestkit was withdrawn and antisocial. she clung to her uncle, but didnt make conversation with burntpaw and finchpaw, the cats closest to her in age. she seemed intimidated by most cats in the clan in general. but what constantly terrified her was the idea of fighting anyone. she’d seen how brutal fights were and the tragic outcomes they could bring. she didnt want to take away a loved one like her mother’s killer had done. and call it selfish, but she didnt want to die on the battlefield

so she became a medic instead. her relationship with her mentor pinefreckle was testy. pinefreckle was an adventurous and mouthy cat who spoke her mind, while tempestpaw avoided small talk whenever she could and seemed to only care about her training. this frustrated pinefreckle, who wanted a more fun apprentice than this. but she slowly got tempestpaw to lower her guard and tempestpaw considered her one of her closest friends. pinefreckle also gets close to mistletail and insists he joins in on training…. so he can guard them… yeah

When Snowkit is taken away by the hawk (redtailed specifically c:), Speckletail still doesn’t loose hope that he survived somehow. His sister, Mistlekit, also doesn’t loose hope.

After Snowkit’s shock wore off, he gets released by the hawk by biting its leg. He took a hard fall onto the ground outside of the forest border as well as a few scratches.

He is found by a kittypet and taken to her twoleg’s nest. When he wakes up, the kittypet tries to confront him but he doesn’t respond. When he doesn’t, she consults her twoleg about it.

After a vet visit, it’s revealed to the kittypet and her twoleg that Snowkit is deaf. His scratches are treated and he’s under the kittypet and twolegs care.

Some time passes and Snowkit gains the nickname Blizzard by the kittypet, Missy, and her twoleg. Missy also finds alternatives to communicate with Snowkit, like vibrations and body language.

One day, while Missy and Snowkit are on their twoleg’s fence, she notices how much he’s been watching the forest. By now he’s healed and shouldn’t have any hard time surviving out there. She lets him know he can leave and before he can, he offers for her to accompany him. With hesitance, she agrees.

When they return to Thunderclan, Fireheart is leader now, and the two are being confronted by many of Snowkit’s clan-mates. After their arrival is resolved, Snowkit is reunited with his sister and mother.

Him and his sister become warriors and get the names: Snowshine and Mistletail!
