Backstory

[Gingerkit] • [Gingerpaw] • [Gingerspots]

Early Life

Gingerkit was born to a very happy family. Though she didn't have any siblings she was perfectly content with her Mother and Father. There were other kits to play with in the nursery so her lack of siblings never bothered her. Which is why when her mother was expected to have another little only a few moons later she was so surprised. Still she was excited to become an older sister and became her mother's shadow for most of her pregnancy. She spent so much time preparing herself, learning stories to tell her younger siblings, coming up with names for them, and getting reading to teach them all the cool games the older kits taught her. However, the pregnancy came with complications and her mother died during birth. Leaving her and her Father alone with her new younger brother Redkit.

Adolescence

Gingerpaw's apprenticeship was rushed, just like many others during the Great Clan wars. She needed to learn how to fight and she needed to learn quickly. In turn her hunting abilities suffered. Her mentor often neglected that training in favor of harder and more harder battle training. She pushed herself to keep up with everything he threw at her. Fighting was eventually seared into her brain and she was declared ready to join the frey at a young age. Hollowclan needed all the warriors they could get age be damned.

Adulthood

Gingerspots felt an odd mix of relief and disappointment when the War came to an end. She had only participated in a single battle before a peace was called and the old clans run off. She had her warrior name, a sign of victory over the driven out clans. Her friends and family were safe, they finally had a chance to live without fear hanging over their heads like an angry cloud. But what was her training for? Why had she lost her apprentice days to endless battle drills if not to use them? She felt somewhat useless in an age of peace. She couldn't hunt as well as the other warriors. Resentment swirled inside of Gingerspots. She does her best to hide it and keep it down. She does her best to keep quiet when she wakes up in the middle of the night expecting to hear the yowls of injured cats and smell sour poultices on the warriors next to her. It's easier to crack a joke than to let herself feel useless when she narrowly misses the vole she was stalking. She wants to set an example for the younger cats who get to grow up in a better place. Keep her clan happy and safe like she always wanted it to be. But as things get more chaotic amongst the clans, she has been finding it so much harder to keep that resentment hidden.

Relationships

STANDING

Hollowclan

---

Gingerspots loves her clan. She has a bad habit of butting heads with her clanmates but she doesn't let it bother her too much. Lately she has been having more and more issues with her clan. She is still loyal to the core but after some recent familial revolations and questionable events in the forest she has been having doubts with the way her clan is being run. She feels like Hollowclan is slowly letting itself be pushed around by other clans and that they're not having as much of a say in matters like they used to. With their territory destroyed and the clans slowly mingling can she really be blamed for being worried?

[ Father ]

Gingerspots had always looked up to her father, he was a proud warrior and veteran after the Great clan wars. She always readily enjoyed hearing his stories and spending time with him. Growing up, there was never any doubt who she took after. However, lately their relationship has been strained. After the discovery of a sister she never knew about and some new revelations about her Father's origins she has a hard time looking him in the same light.

[ Brother ]

Redtail

| |

Gingerspots is proud of her brother. She loves him deeply and often serves as his counter-balance. When he goes quiet, she makes up for the slow in conversation. While he comes up with a plan she acts on it. She enjoys their relationship, but can't truthfully say that there were never any problems. Gingerspots can't help but to blame him for their mother's death. It isn't his fault and she knows it, but there has always been that lingering thought in the back of her mind that without him Tawnymeadow would still be alive. Sometimes it's hard not to act on that thought.
