#nettlehawk

Her mother, Dappledrain (or dapplerain i havent decided) died after giving birth to her two kits, Nettlekit and Smokekit. There was one other queen, with an older kit, who nursed the two but as soon as Nettle & Smoke could eat solid prey, she left the nursery. 

Once they were 6 moons old, Smokekit was interested in training as a medicine cat so Cloudybird (medic at the time) trained her while Nettlekit trained as a warrior. 

Nettlepaw’s mentor was given to her (no name) because she was close to her mother, but that made their relationship strained because Nettlepaw thought she would rather it her be in Starclan instead of her mother. Nettlepaw would also lash out and become violent during battle practice. One session, Mothstar was watching and stopped the training after Nettlepaw clawed her training-buddy, saying that she wouldn’t have done that if her mentor paid attention to her. Mothstar than ordered both ‘paw & mentor to talk to him in his den where Nettlepaw told him about what her mentor has (allegedly) said to her. Mothstar says he’ll appoint her a new mentor and says she’s free to do what she wants for the rest of the day. Her old mentor tells Mothstar that that wasn’t the first time Nettlepaw has hurt someone in training. Mothstar is not having it and just blames Nettlepaw’s harshness on the lack of a caring mentor, but once she gets a new one she would improve. 

Nettlepaw and Smokepaw now have a strained relationship because Nettlepaw purposely avoids talking or any interaction with Smokepaw.  

Later on, Nettlepaw becomes a warrior, Nettlehawk and eventually becomes deputy. Her and Smokepaw, now Smokeseed still don’t talk. Until Mothstar dies, and Nettlehawk becomes leader. On the way to get her nine lives, Nettlehawk refuses to walk next to Smokeseed who has no idea why her sister is so distant, maybe it was their different roles but now that Nettlehawk is soon to be leader, then that won’t be the case anymore, right?

Right as Nettlehawk, now Nettlestar comes out of the Starclan meeting area and Smokesed sees her, she gets a vision; bloody water with nettles floating on the surface. 

Smokeseed does all she can to warn Nettletsar about incoming danger but Nettlestar wants nothing to do with her and refuses to listen, Starclan gave her 9 lives for a reason.

By this time, Nettlestar frequents the Dark Forest and trains, as well as sometimes leaving camp to fight rouges or tough kittypets. This just adds to Smokeseed bombarding Nettlestar with questions and her worries about the vision which pisses Nettlestar off more and more.

And then... Nettlestar yells at her, Smokeseed is taken aback by her outburst but still insist on knowing what’s going on with her, especially with what just happened. Smokeseed follows Nettlestar out of camp and asks her why she won’t talk to her anymore. They were so close when they were kits and now they’re so esstranged. Nettlestar tells her to stop living in the past and move on. Smokeseed doesn’t understand and asks what happened, why does she feel this way. Neetlestar explodes, she says she never liked her, and the only reason she and her were close as kits was because they were the only cat each other had. She tells her to bother someone else with her blabbering. They have more bickering back and forth until Nettlestar snaps and attacks her, pushing her off the gorge edge (idk how to explain the area they’re in,,,it’s elvated or smth).

 Smokeseed is the first to wake up after they rolled down and sees Nettlestar not moving. She quickly goes to check on her. Moments later Nettlestar wakes up (lost a life) but upon seeing Smokeseed, she attacks her again. Smokeseed tries to dodge and tell her to stop but Nettlestar doesn’t. Nettlestar is aware of how close they’re getting to a body of water (probably a pond) and purposely tries to get Smokeseed closer to it; she does, and Nettlestar tackles her, she falls into the water and Nettlestar holds her down. 

Nettlestar goes back to camp.

 In response to the questions, Nettlestar tells the clan Smokeseed is dead, “brutally murdered by yours’s truly”. The clan is in shock but Nettlestar pays no mind to it and goes to the medicine cat’s den and tells Smokeseed’s apprentice, Thornpaw he’s done with training and is ready to get his full name. The clan demands her to go into exile but Nettlestar says she’s done no wrong, she’s a leader, whatever she does is backed by the code (might be my own warrior clan but the code is practically still the same <3).

The clan really can’t do anything, how would anyone exile a leader with 9 lives ? 

Nettlestar stays leader for a while, a group of cats do try to chase her out but she kills one of them and tells them to back down. 

That’s it <3 she dies eventually of course and ends up in the Dark Forest and them um...yea

Oh ! another thing before the Smokeseed stuff- an apprentice reported to Nettlestar about a group of foxes that moved in to apart of territory and Nettlestar told her old mentor to take a patrol to hunt there. The patrol came back, in shock from the foxes & Nettlestar says she had no idea they were there. Her old mentor accused her of setting her up but Nettlestar plays dumb.
