Early Life

tba

Adolescence

He was once a kittypet named Timber, a house cat who would always sit on the fence to stare out into the forest nearby. He had heard rumors of groups of cats that moved in centuries before he was born, and always wondered what they were like. Not once did he step into the forest however, not wanting to risk running into territorial feral cats.

However one day something new happened. A patrol from the woods left their home and came to him, wanting to talk. Immediately he hopped down the fence to greet them, excited to finally meet the rumored wild cats. They ask him if they have seen another clanmate of theres who had gone missing the day prior. He shook his head no, however pointed to the direction where other kittypets lived that could help. With a thank you, the patrol left, however Timber had locked eyes with one of the cats. They stared at each other for a moment, but before any of them said anything, the patrol called out and the stranger had to go.

For days and nights Timber could do nothing but think about the handsome cat he met. He knew he lived in the forest, but he wanted to meet him again. After deciding this, he snuck out of his human home one night and snuck into the woods. While wandering around lost in the dark woods, he bumped into the cat he was looking for. He introduced himself as Hawkclaw, a member of Shadowclan. As Hawkclaw explained what the clans were exactly, he offered to show him Shadowclan. Of course, he accepted.

However, the other clan members weren't as welcoming. Hawkclaw begged for his father, the leader of Shadowclan, to let him stay for a while. The leader was hesitate, however he allowed Timber to stay but to prove his loyalty and destroy the kittypet collar he had one. Timber did so, ripping it off and tearing it, its remains were buried in the middle of the campground. Soon after, he had a new name; Deerpaw. And was now a member of Shadowclan.

Since then he had trained to be a capable warrior, getting used to their customs and ways of living and accepting their religion. While it was difficult, his determination and hard work was shown to the others and the once hostile clan soon accepted him. Hawkclaw, despite being a very recent appointed warrioir, has helped him throughout this time and is one of the cats he can thank for helping him make it this far. The two grew closer from their times together and it was obvious to the others that they would be mates.

He didn't get his first taste of how difficult clan life was until he lost his mother figure, a she-cat who, besides Hawkclaw, accepted the new member immediately. She was the mother Deerwhisker never had, and always went to her for advice and guidance whenever he seemed lost and alone. She even told him great stories of the clans' history and of great mysterious about Starclan. Territory dispute with Riverclan had been ongoing before Deerwhisker had joined the clans. One side snapped, a battle soon followed. Deerwhisker fought long and hard, determined to protect his new home, when he witnessed the she-cat fall to the ground in pain. She had a wound in the back of her neck that was bleeding heavily, but Deerwhisker refused to leave her there and dragged her body to shelter under the bushes. He attempted to stop the bleeding, but there was nothing he could do. She died in front of him after they said their goodbyes.

Adulthood

Deerwhisker was unsure how to cope with his grief after that. Everyone around him told him that this was clan life was, that if he couldn't handle it it was better he went back to being a pet. Only Hawkclaw was truly sympathetic and tried to cheer him up. Deerwhisker spent nights out by the lake that sat in the middle of the territories to stare at the stars; remembering the stories she had told him. He thought about how she could be watching him right now, and that she would want him to keep going. With newfound strength, he promised her and the other stars above that he will try to get through this and be there for his clan.

Once Hawkclaw's father died he was next to be appointed as leader, his name changing to Hawkstar. He chose Deerwhisker as his deputy and the two have been keeping their clan strong and protected for seasons to come.

Hawkstar

| |

A special case of love at first sight, then Hawkpaw was the only reason why Deer finally got the courage to leave his Twoleg home behind and invest to living in the woods. They were attached to the hip the moment Deer was named a new apprentice, with Deer constantly wanting to impress his new friend/crush and Hawk focusing his time on helping the newcomer get used to the clan's practices and ways to survive. They were warriors by the time Deer experienced loss in the clan, and Hawk was the one who stayed with him through sleepless nights and comforted him whenever he felt alone. By then Deer finally registered how much he loved him, and in a moment with no thought confessed those feelings. It was embarrassing, but was made worth it when Hawk admitted he loved him too.

When the current leader of Shadowclan passed, Hawk's father, it was now Hawk's turn to be leader, and Deer's turn to be the weight to keep his mate grounded during a difficult time. One the night Hawkstar was supposed to assign a new deputy, he called on Deer to take the position, solidifying his love and trust towards the former kittypet.

While Hawk adopted his stern and serious ways, Deerwhisker takes advantage of their relationship status to act affectionate towards his mate in public because he knows Hawkstar would never push him off, with Hawkstar often reciprocating in his own ways. Their love for each other is strong, and they have proven to make an incredible team when it comes to running their Clan.
