story:
I am Flutterleaf a kind and caring cat so gentle and sweet that she could not hurt a fly. Or in this case a Caterpillar, you thought I would say butterfly now didn’t you? But like most things in life, it take time to get there. So how about you keep reading and wait to see where the butterfly emerges okay, okay? Anyways where were we yes, the caterpillar. As we all know, before you get to see the wonder and beauty of a graceful butterfly, you must start as a wriggling munching caterpillar. So let’s start there in telling you about myself. I was a shy little kit, the runt of my litter and the last to stray from my mothers side. It was hard for me to be brave and play the dangerous games my siblings did and hunt. So instead I’d spend my early days sitting and watching the insects all around me, once I even got lost following an ant back to its nest as it carried a piece of food. They’re so small yet so strong so I couldn’t help but admire it. Anyways, where was I? Ah yes, my early days. Anyways, I would often peek beneath the brush and leaves, finding all sorts of things and even getting my paws dirty to dig them up. These things were more appealing to me than the silly battle practice or stalking my siblings did. I was always sensitive the the emotions of others, animals included, though I’d still eat them, I became unable to hunt as an apprentice and wasn’t smart enough or well in-tuned with star clan to be a medicine cat. Still no lazy cat gets food in a clan so I had to figure out something. From just going on patrols to learning the stories passed down from elders, I slowly built my worth. I learned as much as I could about our world, our forest, our home and decided to work to teach kits and apprentices all about it and help them to understand things like change and how everything is connected. Back to the caterpillar you say? Alright, alright I’m getting there you’ll see. Anyways, in my lessons and teachings I find using insects and tadpoles very useful, and as you expected, this is where the caterpillar comes into the picture. Through my vast and in depth lessons on change, I gather eggs from leaves and keep the caterpillars in my den to show the kits and apprentices how they change and how a bit of kindness can transform them from a wriggly grub into a beautiful butterfly. Though the butterflies don’t live very long after. With the flowers we plant in camp, they stick about and are attached to us and so we give them the proper respects when they pass on, teaching the kits again a valuable lesson about death and how it is not a bad thing to happen. Though our friends will not meet us in star clan, I enjoy teaching the children that they hold a special place in the star clan cats hearts and if you listen carefully you can hear their voices in the soft beats of the butterfly’s beautiful yet delicate wings. My friend the butterfly butterfly with me now is an odd case, having lived much longer than most, but a part of me suspects that it is a family of them that replace themselves so that I’m not lonely. Though I am surrounded by cats who love me very dearly, I can’t help but worry I’m not enough. After all, compared to providing food to fill our bellies, what is a story teller. Any cat can do what I do and I am always reminded of that. I was chased out of my previous clan for not being useful enough, but I have been graciously accepted into this one and will continue to do whatever I can. Cats don’t thing of me as a threat, so I can go by unnoticed and help gather information to continue protecting my clan. They accepted me in all my faults when my birth clan did not and this is where I truly belong. I will do whatever it takes to remain useful to them and will be as loyal as a clan born cat. Though I am not good at fighting I still will gladly go to war to defend everyone and prevent the haunting ghosts that travers this land from whispering into the weak minded apprentices ears. I have seen the signs of a cat falling from the light and will prevent that from happening even if it costs me my own life. I swore before star clan when I was given my warrior name without deserving it that I would one day earn it, this is how. I won’t waver in my convictions and will always protect those weaker than me, though there aren’t many. Everyday I do what I can and that’s good enough for them, so I try to let it be good enough for me as well and not let them see me upset. I keep a smile on my face and try to brighten the day and the lives of the cats who adopted me into their clan and their families so graciously. My job is story teller, but I bring so much more than stories and fairy tales. I bring life lessons and teach morals to my students as well as act as a stand in queen and give the over worked mothers their breaks. Though I I’ve kits I doubt I will ever get to having them myself. I put too much distance between myself and my clan mates since in my mind they will always be much more than I deserve, their kindness and their food is so kind. The leader who accepted me will always be the leader I follow, even in death I fill follow Badgerstars words and commands no matter what.
