🌼🌻Lovely Advice🌻🌼

The separation from Eagleclan had been difficult on everyone, especially the younger cats. They needed rest, and the journey across the mountains was no easy task. As the day grew long, Sweetstar noticeably struggled to stay in front of her clanmates.

If it weren't for her kitten, Nightkit, she probably would've stopped everyone to rest by now. She wanted to be strong in front of her. If her own child thought she wasn't strong, who would?

Sweetstar let out a quiet chuckle, watching Nightkit nearly trip on her own paws. Nightkit realized that her mother had noticed the stumble and raced ahead to shake off the embarrassment.

"Nightkit! Get back here!" Sweetstar gently ordered.

Nightkit didn't stop, and Sweetstar huffed.

"Nightkit! I told you to get over here!" she shouted, sternness creeping into her voice.

Her misbehaving kitten pretended not to hear her, and the exhausted leader wasn't taking it. Sweetstar raced towards Nightkit, grabbing her by the scruff.

Her jaws had barely made it over the flap of loose skin when a menacing rumble reached her ears. The deputy Gooseheather was the first to notice. He tried to use his body to shield his kit and his niece, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn't stop several hundred pounds of rock.

It was over in mere moments. Sweetstar had been feeling a sense of dread for a while now but hadn't imagined this in her worst-case scenarios.

Sweetstar spent a long while trying to shove the rock aside, but it was all in vain. She wasn't strong enough, and no one could've survived. Sweetstar stopped trying. She was exhausted. Her kitten was hungry. With the last of her strength, she caught a bird, ate it as fast as possible, and drifted off to sleep.

Nightkit drank her mother's milk, wondering if someone would come to help them. Everything seemed so much more dangerous when it was just the two of them, but she could sleep anyway because Nightkit knew her mom would protect her no matter what.

General Info

Sweetsong is an enigma to most cats. She appears on the surface as a kind and mild cat with a feather soft voice. In her youth she had a fluidity to her movements that lulled warriors into a trance and made them put their guard down around her. She was vastly underestimated and she has rarely lost a fight thanks to that. Sweetsong was by no means unbeatable, but the grace in which she moved and the gentle aura surrounding her was something not many took seriously.

Sweetsong was her father’s pride and joy. Adderstar adored his only daughter and doted on her while Darkspark focused more on her brothers. She was given her first apprentice, Roaringfang, shortly after being made a warrior and long before any of her litter mates got one thanks to her father’s influence as deputy.Once her father became leader nobody was surprised when she was made deputy, and nobody dared challenge the decision despite Sweetsong’s lack of experience as a warrior. She did her job well and was happy to serve her clan until she started losing her eyesight and decided to retire.

Sweetsong’s first mate was a beautiful kittypet named Jade. She convinced Jade to join the clan and take on the name Vultureswoop. Unfortunately the bliss Sweetsong felt with her new mate was short lived as Vultureswoop was unable to ever truly adjust to clan life and died after being hit by a monster while trying to return to her twolegs. Sweetsong was bitter for a long time and only opened up her hearet again very late in her life to her best friend, Cloudfrost. She adores him and their kits. She wishes she could’ve been closer to Frogstream than she is, but doesn’t know how to start mending their relationship.

Personality

Sweetsong is as sweet as her name suggests. She doesn’t have the ferocity of her father, but she has been known to be especially sharp tongued with those who misbehave and unmerciful and unrelenting on the battle field when she was in her prime. She loves her clan more than anything and is the picture of content.

Fun Facts

- Sweetsong was still very young when she retired to the elder’s den due to early onset of blindness

- Sweetsong has always felt a sibling bond with Viperstar and trusts him like a brother

Warrior cats based on pride flags, Windclan!

I picked the two flags that colours reminded me most of Windclan, the transgender flag and the genderfluid flag. This is Sweetstar (Sweetdapple) and his deputy Duskpuddle!
