Ceremonies
She's barely hanging on. I dont think she has much time left, RoseStar.
Very well..
.. I ask my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has suffered and given up her life in the service of her family. Let StarClan receive her as a clan-borne warrior. She will be known as ChickweedPaw.
I, RoseStar, leader of HeatherClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these two apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. ChickweedPaw, SweetPaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your lives?
I do.
Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior names: SweetPaw, from this moment you will be known as SweetBreeze. StarClan honors your kindness and strength, and we welcome you as a full warrior of HeatherClan. ChickweedPaw, from this moment you will be called ChickweedSun. StarClan honors your bravery and your determination, and we welcome you as a full warrior of HeatherClan.
ChickweedSun! SweetBreeze!
I say these words before the body of RoseStar, that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of HeatherClan will be ChickweedSun.
Due to SwiftCrow's death, ChickweedSun will be reassigned back to her position as deputy.
Personality and Relationships
ChickweedSun is a feisty, optimistic feline which tries to look for the good in every situation and cat, even if that means she down-plays her own struggles and emotions to please everyone else around her. She is motherly and defensive, often hopping in to defend her friends. Though this defensiveness means she can be coaxed and manipulated easily by the cats she is closest to. She also trusts and forgives far too easily, which can lead her to bring horrible people back into her life for the sake of avoiding change. Though this forgivness is a downfall, this leads her to be boundlessly loyal to her clan, willingly putting her life on the line for any of her clan mates. Compaired to her friends, she is a bit more of an airhead. Her creativity and optimism sometimes coming off as rude or sarcastic, even when she means the opposite.
