OC ref I did for myself as some practice.
This is Scuttlefoot! She is the daughter of Pim and Daggerthud and the sister of TWELVE siblings, notably alongside her littermates Baybreath and Loveslumber.
When she was an apprentice, Scuttlepaw was spunky, rambuctious and quick to start trouble. She was originally mentored to Bok Choy, but she caught a severe case of yellowcough and so her mentorship was swapped to Bok Choy's son, Poppyfawn. Poppyfawn was young, but a good mentor, and helped her through the motions of feeling like she was replacable. He taught her how to stay calm and collected in the face of dangers and led to her becoming more mature at her age. She was named Scuttlefoot for her tendancy to wander and collect knowledge with her paws first rather then her brain, honored for her dignity.
And then everything went crashing down.
When she was 14 moons old, rival Clan Yarrowclan began to become increasingly hostile out of the blue, which would later be found out to be caused by a lack of water from a clogged stream, leading them to push borders in search of water sources. Her father, Pim, was on the patrol that found them trespassing for the upmost time, along with another older cat, Igorenvy, an ex-kittypet desperate to prove himself. When the arguments turned sour and the claws unsheathed, it turned into a full scale rampage. And when caught in a sour situation, surrounded by cats he couldn't tell as friend or foe, Igorenvy slashed his claws into the nearest cats throat.
Which was Pim.
Scuttlefoot was absolutely devastated. She was closer to her father then her mother, and she wasn't able to get out of bed for days. Igorenvy didn't hide what he did. He revealed it, feeling ashamed, and was punished accordingly. But Scuttlefoot still felt like he didn't get enough.
And then Poppyfawn was found dead.
Him and another warrior, Stripedtail, were brutally murdered by rogues.
During the vigil, Scuttlefoot noticed Loveslumber coughing. She asked her if she was okay, and she pressed it off. She was fine!
Three days later, Scuttlefoot watched Loveslumber collapse in the healers den, blood pooling from her mouth from yellowcough turned sour.
Scuttlefoot had enough.
Two cats wee buied that night. Loveslumber, and Igorenvy, found floating in the river from what was assumed to be an accidental drowning.
Finally, Scuttlefoot felt peace.
