#vanillakit

boulderstar dies due to a fever. deerstar makes junipercloud deputy.

scorchwind dies.

pinepaw dies.

perhaps these (and later deaths) are related to the fever/sickness.

brownpaw and galepaw are apprenticed to galewhisker and runningnose.

patchkit, pinekit, hailkit, seichekit, tankit, and vanillakit die. tawnypelt’s pretty pleased her litter makes it through: it’d be a bad omen for one of them to die right now. i mean, she’s generally thrilled, but like…no one goes around waiting for their kids to die, i suppose. like. of course she’s happy that they didn’t die, and while child death is a normal part of society, it’s not like she’s expecting…okay, y'all get the point by now.

"They're beautiful," Brackenfur said, pressing his forehead against Sorreltail's. "Do you have any names picked out?"

She flicked her tail over the tortoiseshell. "Patchkit for her." Newly named, Patchkit wriggled slightly. She had a ginger patch on the back of her head, and her tail was striped in brown.

Sorreltail blinked up at Brackenfur. "You can name the other, if you'd like."

Brackenfur hesitated. She was a pale brown, with no markings to speak of. "What about Vanillakit?"

so. out of whitetail's litter, sapkit, juniperkit, and goldenkit all die. nightcloud has three kits, breezekit, maplekit (smoky blue tom), and vanillakit (black tom with long fur), but maplekit and vanillakit are weak.

the truth comes out about crowfeather's kits with leafpaw, and webstar (in his infinite wisdom) decides to challenge thunderclan for them. yellowbreeze (nightcloud's littermate) and orangepaw die for this.

whitetail's surviving kits, heatherpaw, rockpaw, ashpaw, and cresspaw, are apprenticed to halotail, indigobird, iciclesun, and shadewing.

poplarpaw dies.

sorreltail's litter, vanillakit and patchkit, die.

(those are distributed throughout the season, as the situation with the twolegs get worse.)

squirrelpaw is apprenticed to dustpelt, and leafpaw to cinderpelt.

ferncloud and dustpelt have another litter, birchkit, hollykit, and larchkit.

biggest event is that redstar dies and firestar becomes warrior, appointing greystripe as his deputy. mousefur is (rightfully) pissed.

spiderleg becomes a warrior!

poplarpaw and sugarpaw are apprenticed to ashfur and greystripe accordingly.
