Foxkit → Foxpaw → Foxflight
(she/her)
Foxkit was born to Morningdaze and Minkshade, and had two sisters, Daylightkit and Goldenkit. Foxkit was very close to her sister, Daylightkit, some cats even said they looked alike - that is, her sister looked like her, but with a much more cream pelt. She had a normal kithood. Due to a lack of warriors and an abundance of apprentices, Locuststar decided for both Foxpaw and Daylightpaw to both be apprenticed under Mushroomfall. While it wasn't the most ideal, Foxpaw and Daylightpaw worked together and Mushroomfall was more than capable to handle two apprentices under her judgement. While Mushroomfall wasn't too stern, she still taught them the importance of respect and thinking ahead.
And, thinking ahead she did. With her best friend Oakpaw. Daylightpaw would have been a part of it if she could, but she fell ill around the time. A patrol spotted a snake too close to clan borders, a snake large enough to swallow kits, and Oakpaw decided to take care of it when the warriors spent too long discussing on how to deal with it. Foxpaw stuck by her side and helped her drive it out, though both Foxpaw and Oakpaw were scolded for it - making Foxpaw slightly frustrated, that she helped the clan and instead of getting praise, she was getting scolded for it.
Then, tension happened. Leafbare happened way too soon - there wasn't even leaf-fall, one day the grass was fresh and green and the next, your whiskers were frozen solid and snow layered over the camps. DuskClan invaded DawnClan, in desperate search of food, even shedding blood for it. And, shed blood they did. Oakpaw and the rest of the apprentices assisted the warriors with trying to defend themselves from the attackers, but Foxpaw was too frightened to go, staying hidden in a corner of the apprentice's den.
And on that day, once the fighting stopped, she learned that Daylightpaw lost her life fighting for DawnClan, too. She mourned and regretted all of her actions that day, feeling as if she only thought for herself and if she tried to help, that, Daylightpaw would still be there.
Another pang of guilt is the warrior name she was given, Foxflight. While now she lives as a normal warrior, that day hangs heavy on her shoulders. Tangotalon was there for her as she mourned, having a shoulder for her head to rest on. While it's difficult to move on, Foxflight tries to do what's best for her Clan.
