The Winter Journal

Silverkit was the only child of Skystar and Ravenheart who survived, as his siblings were both stillborn. He was never told about Mistkit and Nightkit while he was growing up. Born under SkyClan's original leader, he looked up to Skystar greatly as both a mother and a leader. He was, and still is, close friends with his denmate, Honeytooth, since kithood. As an apprentice, his father, Ravenheart, was assigned as his mentor. The warrior did not cut Silverpaw any slack for being his son, as he taught him to hunt and fight using every possible variable to his advantage, which was difficult since Ravenheart, after living in a twolegplace for almost his whole life, knew many different aspects that were hard to remember. But, Silverpaw was able to master it all, and with his training, he was able to pass his assessment, and was promoted to a warrior with the name Silverfrost. Late into warriorhood, as things seemed perfect, the Dark Forest began rising. After Skystar's original deputy, Sparrowfur, fell into the river and drowned while on a border patrol, Silverfrost was named the new deputy. A few moons of settling into his new duties followed, but then one night, the Dark Forest suddenly struck. Him and his parents all fought valiantly, Skystar trying her best to fight off as many Dark Forest cats as possible. Sparrowfur returned on behalf of the Dark Forest, he revealed that he fell into the river intentionally in order to recieve more training from the Dark Forest. Disgusted at Silverfrost's recruitment to deputy, he savagely attacked him, with tactics that could only be described as savage and immoral. Ravenheart intervened between Sparrowfur and a severely injured Silverfrost. After that, within a few moments, he lost his father and mentor. Skystar was able to avenge her mate, but lost her last life after the battle, the injuries from multiple opponents piled up too greatly. When he went to the Moonstone, he saw many familiar faces, but for his 6 and 7th lives, he saw two tiny kits he didn't recognise. He was told by Ravenheart that they were his siblings. After completing the ceremony, Silverstar, although still shaken by their deaths, tried his best to manage what was left of SkyClan. After a while, one of the clan's apprentices, Lilypaw, brought in a tom named Smoke. The rogue had killed one of their apprentices and Lilypaw was asking the clan to help him learn to control his murderous urges. Despite knowing he'd risk his dignity, he agreed to let Smoke try and get help in the clan. He was met with backlash from the clan, and during a meeting, when the clan spoke out, he decided to have Smoke leave. This event made him question his harmony with his clanmates and his abilities as leader. He fell into an even more depressive state, rarely leaving his den and such. This was around the time powerful rogues began invading, so he was too busy dealing with them to care about his mental health. He then found out that one of his warriors, Lionflame, had kits with a ShadowClan cat named Coal, who was banished by Magpiestar alongside her kits. Silverstar allowed them to shelter in his camp as well, he wouldn't forgive himself for sending a mother and kits out for the rogues. He ordered his clanmates to keep quiet about it to the other clans and allowed them to stay.

"Rosekit grew up without a father, Adderwing either died or disappeared before Robintail started kitting. She grew up just with an overprotective mother, which is likely what gave her her attitude. As an apprentice, Rosepaw was the sort of apprentice who'd argue with their mentor somewhat often, question the types of training they assign, things like that. Regardless, she was great with her hunting and battling, and passed her assessment, and was given the name Roseeye. For a long time, she mainly minded her own business, not interacting much with clanmates even on patrol. Before the Dark Forest attacked, she kept bitter thoughts mostly internal during her warriorship. It'd be a lie to say Roseeye wasn't enjoying the first few minutes of the battle with the Dark Forest. The idea of a massive fight, where there was no code or rules, just fangs and claws, was thrilling. It wasn't until late in the battle and a majority of the clan cats were dead that the gravity of the situation hit her like a monster on the Thunderpath. Whether Roseeye admits it or not, ever since that fight, any sort of battle would trigger a fear-powered and protective instinct, regardless of what clan the cat may be in. Because of this, she often acts reckless in battle and desperately tries to protect others, not caring how hurt she gets in the process. This trauma-induced instinct reared its awful head again, after her and her apprentice, Owlpaw, were attacked by rogues."

"Between Sunpaw's loyalty and sociability and Beepaw's lone wolf personality, Scorchpaw tried a lot to be a good brother to both of them. He wanted to be the sort of warrior who supported every member like they were kin. The kind who believed that their clanmates were worth more than all the prey in the forest. During his apprenticeship, he took being apprenticed under Firestar as a huge honor, and as such would be willing to do anything the leader would say as if his word was from StarClan themselves. Early into his apprenticeship, he met a kit named Oddkit. After she was apprenticed as well, the two became very close friends, even taking down an owl together and bringing it back to ShadowClan. During one of their hunting trips, they encountered a badger and tried to fight it off. Sadly, while Scorchpaw wasn't hurt, Oddpaw nearly died. Consumed by horror and grief, he took her unconscious body back to camp."

Allister used to live in a rich twoleg's house. Apparantly, they'd breed and trade off cats to other twolegs. His siblings and his parents were bought off quickly, so he never had time to get attached to them. The twoleg family decided to keep him, probably based on the decision of their kit, so he grew up being pampered by a family of twolegs during his kitten and young adulthood. Then, he supposed, the twoleg kit decided he wasn't a cute little kitten anymore. Apparantly, the twolegs were moving to a different den far away, therefore they couldn't sell him. So, they drove out and dumped him onto the Thunderpath and abandoned him there. Allister was confused, he thought the twolegs cared about him. He tried to explore the forest for shelter or food, but was attacked by a clan's patrol. He fled and did his best to find shelter, which is basically abandoned fox holes. Since then, his twolegs have moved, and he drifts around the territories like any rogue, trying to survive.
