Sister!! Oh, Holi is great. I hadn't seen her since we were kittens, but now she's brought me along on the adventure of a lifetime! She's way stronger than I remember, though. Holi's really good at this whole trial thing! I'm, uh... I'm still getting there. She'll keep me safe, though!
[sigh] Toadwhisker sure does have a lot of unique family members.... one less competent than the next.
Toadwhisker would make a better leader. Hey, someone had to say it!
Oh, Moorhenpaw... he's such a bright young kit, and I know Quail can surely help bring him to his full potential, but I fear his brother influences him in ways my dear mate can't help. I understand that Widgeonpaw seems to blame me for what happened to them and Hummingkit, but I know less-so where Moorhenpaw stands. I try to be kind to them. I hope he can overcome what he's going through in time.
Widgeonpaw's right about Ramtuft, I guess. What kind of cat just lets a litter of kits wander off into danger? A terrible one, that's for sure! If she'd known better—if I'd known better—I mean, she wasn't even there, how could she have stopped it?! I was there, and...
I don't want to talk about Ramtuft anymore.
No cat, let alone one as young as Moorhenpaw, should have to endure what he did. I try to speak with him often—I do pride myself on being the counselor councilor, after all!—but he seems determined to carry his burden alone. He has such trouble fitting in with his Clanmates, and I just wish I could help.
Quailmask's nice, I guess... but I don't like her much at all! I wish she'd quit pitying me and leave me alone like everyone else. How could she tell me that StarClan was with me that day, as if I'm blessed for going through what I did?! She says Hummingkit watches over me, but that was always a lie!
I fuss a lot over my little brother Samuel, and rightly so! On the mountain I realized firstpaw just how much danger he'd been running toward, and I wish I could've thanked those Legendaries myself for turning him away from the Trials. Sammy's naive, but he has a good heart—he just wanted to help our mama. I only wish I'd been as brave.
Pep! That's my big sis! She's uh, a little pushy sometimes, but I think that's how big sisters are, or somethin'. She helped take care of all of us after mom died though, and it is pretty cool she got to go on that big adventure on the mountain! Just mad I missed it. I'll tag along next time no matter what!!
Oh, where do I even begin describing my feelings about her... Quailmask is the most darling cat I know. She was much more than worth that trek to the Whiteheart Tangle and, while it delights me to no end that so many cats got to celebrate our wedding alongside us, I truly only cared about one. She does work too hard, and I tell her as such, but she always forges ahead regardless... she's so brave and resilient, and I'm so lucky she accepted me as her own. I can only hope for many more happy moons by her side, safe and well within our love.
Ramtuft, my mate, is the most wonderful cat in the Clan. She's patient, easy-going, and always sees the best in others—I know can be a little high-strung, and Ramtuft has shown me how to live more freely. Our wedding was my favorite day of all, but my favorite moment was when Ramtuft proposed to me with a Whiteheart Rose, and I knew that she loved me and I her.
FROGGY!! I love Frog!! He's my big brother-- well, one of them, but when I was little he always spent the most time with me and... um. Well, he's the COOLEST big brother I got, anyway. I think he's the only other one that still talks to... them. Moonfeather told me that he stayed with me all the time while I was sick, though I don't really remember anything from then. Him and Sally both!
Bouncy's my little sister! Me and my littermates all worry over her a lot 'cause she... doesn't have her own littermates anymore. She's always been good fun—I spent a lot of time playing with her while she was in the nursery. Sometimes I felt like if I took my eyes off of her, she might go like the others. I felt that way again when she got sick.
[under her breath] that cat.... that cat scares me.. [even quieter] ...like literally she just came out of no where and put me down like it was nothing...
My dear Ramtuft still believes in making peace with Whorlstar, but I'm not so sure that peace can exist beside such a cat. Not after she took Ramtuft's life... and I took hers.
Eugh, Frog... probably the most annoying of my litter, always making terrible jokes and generally being a nuisance. Wish he'd learn to take a hint when I tell him to fuck off. Can't he go bother somebody else? I don't have all day to get tormented by that rat of a brother; I'd rather he just stayed out catching frogs all day like his name SAYS he does.
(I worry about him often. He tends to disappear into the marsh for hours at a time, and sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who notices. I've found him at our younger litter's gravesides, talking to them, many times. I always go check on him when he's gone for too long-- even if I don't let him know. He's too thin and too chatty and I know it's because he's hurting. But I'm no good with emotions. I just have to hope Salamandercloud can take care of him until he can heal.)
Newtfang's the worst brother I've got! He's always treating me like I'm some huuuge problem he has to deal with. If I'm such a nuisance, why doesn't he just leave me alone? Oh, and if one more cat tells me I look like him I'm gonna drown myself in the swamp.
But sometimes it's nice, y'know, that he cares enough to check on me. He always gives me an earful for "worrying the family" but... I think it's just him.
