Darkbreeze's Links
Darkbreeze is Brindlestride's adopted daughter, and he loves her to bits. Brindle has always doted on her, but especially since Dark was the one to take the death of her father - Dodger - during the war so hard. Mainly thanks to Brindleflower, a lakeshire queen who'd been his mate and Dark's step mother. The woman had told Dark to her face that she was responsible for her biological father's death (as the man had died protecting Dark - a toddler at the time). When Brindlestride found out he was absolutely furious, and had more than a few strong words for the woman. Brindle worries about Dark a lot, especially in regards to her often nasty and bullying behavior towards others her age. When Darkbreeze and Willowtalon eventually became friends as apprentices and earned their warrior names Brindlestride was immeasurably proud, and relieved that Darkbreeze seemed to be recovering after Brindleflower's abuse.
Badgerstrike is close with Darkbreeze, close enough to surrogate her kits. He does what he can to help her and Willowtalon with them and is doing everything he can to teach them Fallowbuck and Twigclaw’s language to help Skypaw.
