𝔅orn as an only child to his mother Blackberry and father Snowfield. His mother thought the newborn kitten was as small as a flea, and since they couldn't think of any better names, they named him Fleakit.
Later his mother died in a tragic, yet incredibly stupid and unlucky accident. His father remarried and had two little daughters - Myosotiskit and Lilykit - half-sisters for Fleapaw. These two girls are his pride and joy.
Unfortunately, faith can be a cruel mistress. Greencough struck Meadowclan, infecting him and many others. He was very sick for a long time but ultimately survived, though others were less lucky. Alongside many others, Myosotiskit lost her life. This deeply affected Fleapaw, taking him into dark places he had never before been. With time the grief got a tiny bit easier, and Fleapaw clung even tighter onto his remaining sister Lilypaw, who had decided to become a medicine cat apprentice.
When Fleapaw finally got better, he was given his warrior name - Fleaheart. He was named after his empathetic soul, as he bravely turned down all herbs so they could instead be given to other sick cats.
