Cranewing

Queen of VineClan

47 moons old

Mate: Wolfcatcher

Daughters: Flurrykit and Celandinekit

Son: Brackenkit

Cranewing was born as a kittypet named Babe, but found herself feeling unsafe in her easy life when a dog was brought to her home, intruding on any space she once had. She begged for scraps around the Hindleg territory before she caught wind of the wild cats living in the nearby forest. Babe was intrigued by their skill at hunting and fighting, and she ventured towards the marsh. There, she ran into a young tom, and wanted to see his skills. To put it short, he could’ve killed her. But Babe got what she wanted, and was quite impressed. He took her back to his camp, where she was a little overwhelmed by the number of cats there. She was allowed to stay so that she could heal; she became close friends with the medicine cat and her apprentice, Harepaw. Her curiosity about these wild cats always kept her asking questions to those that would answer, and many of them became fond of the kittypet, especially the queens. Babe loved the kits, and always dreamed of having her own. After she fully recovered, she asked the leader to join their “Clan”. He saw promise in her devotion, and accepted her into VineClan under the name Cranepaw. The tom who found her, Wolfcatcher, gave her tips on how to improve her fighting maneuvers, and they became good friends. She had a tendency to be blunt to others and accidentally offend her Clanmates, but she always tried to make it up to them. Her apprenticeship went smoothly, and she soon became Cranewing. She found herself falling for her friend Wolfcatcher, and no one was surprised when they became mates. Although she was a fair fighter, she was drawn to the nursery, which had no permanent queens to care for kits. Thus, she took it upon herself to nurture and care for kits when no one else could, and she remains a queen to this day. Cranewing may have always wanted kits, but it was a long time before she finally became pregnant with Wolfcatcher’s kits. She loves her mate and her kits more than anything, and speaks fondly of them. She isn’t blind to her mischievous children, and always keeps and eye on them. While she doesn’t shy away from being tough with others, she’s naturally caring and loves being in her Clan.
