Warriors Alternate Timeline - Nightkit and Mistkit
If Tigerstar’s siblings had survived, the series would of been quite a bit darker in theme.
Nightkit grows to idolize her strongest sibling Tigerkit, and follows him around everywhere. She is just so impressed with how strong he is. He finds this annoying, especially when they become apprentices. Thistleclaw however, encourages her and teaches her a lot of his teachings alongside Tigerpaw, making her a very aggressive she-cat.
She is given to Adderflight for training, which doesn’t help her as she grows more and more into a powerhouse like her brother. As an apprentice, she gets a very strange obsession with her brother. Even rivalling Darkstripes affection for the giant tabby. She is determined to make the clan see her brother is the greatest cat in the whole Clan.
Eventually Thistleclaw takes her out on a walk, just the two of them (Adderflight took Tigerpaw hunting.) and he tells her that while Tigerclaw will become a great cat, he’s going to need a she-cat in his life. One who’ll do anything to help him. He explains he’ll need a body guard, a cat who’ll do the things his brother won’t do himself. And she agrees!
She gets her warrior name: Nightfang, as she is a very skilled fighter - but not so great a hunter. As an adult, she is shown to be very angry and jealous when Tigerstar starts to show an interest in Goldenflower. Why her? She didn’t support her brothers every move, she did! She doesn’t react right away, but she sits and bides her time.
Mistkit would of gone down the other path, she grows to respect Bluefur and Whitekit, and enjoys playing with them instead of Tigerkit and Nightkit.
She eventually becomes Speckletails apprentice, and is taught to be a very good hunter, and a strategic fighter. She does become worried with her sisters.. dedication to her brother, and even brings it up with Bluefur. Bluefur becomes troubled by her behaviour too, but when attempting to speak to Nightpaw, Thistleclaw shoulders his way into the argument, and asks her what she knows about siblings, besides killing them? This breaks out into a fight between the two, which Sunstar separates, and tells the pair of them off. So Bluefur and Mistpaw leave it, with more concern building up overtime.
She gets her warrior name, Miststrike. For being able to catch and strike down even the fastest of rabbits.
She eventually becomes mates with Whitestorm, and has his kits: Shellkit and Volekit, who sadly die of kittencough not long after. Due to their grief, they stop being mates after that, but remain good friends.
She does not become aware of Tigerclaw or Nightfang’s dark deeds in the Clan, and lives a fairly uneventful life through the first series. She becomes best friends with Mousefur while mentoring her, out-sassing everyone side-by-side.
She greets Firepaw warmly to the Clan, and helps encourage him and keep him looking positive throughout his life.
She is mortified when she learns her brother and sister are traitors. She has to work twice as hard in her Clan, with everyone - including Bluestar - certain she could be a traitor at any moment. The only cats trusting her completely being Mousefur and Fireheart
She is made deputy in place of Whitestorm, and she in honoured by his decision.
is usually in on her brothers schemes, and backs him into killing Redtail.
She and her brother get their own apprentices: Tigerstar trains Darkstripe, and she trains Longtail.
When Firepaw joins the clan, she is overly nice to him, so he doesn’t suspect her of any evil doings. This works untill Tigerstar attempts to kill Bluefur. In this fight, Whitestorm tried to leap in between Tigerheart Bluestar and Fireheart, and the white tom almost gets him off his aunt, only for Nightfang to leap onto him and break his neck.
When Tigerstar is eventually found out to be a traitor, she is the only one who follows him willingly into Exile. Shocking many. Not even Darkstripe followed him into exile.
They join Shadowclan, and when Tigerstar is made leader, he chooses Blackfoot as his deputy. This enrages Nightfang, and she goes and has a spat with her brother. Thinking fast, he tells Nightfang he didn’t choose her because he has an important job only his favourite sister could do: Raise a cat worthy of becoming his heir.
Excited, she laps up everything he tells her, and she goes off to think about what he’s said. He never said she had to have her own kits. Maybe she could steal Bramblekit and Tawnykit..? As much as she hated Goldenflower for taking her brothers affection from her, Bramblekit looks just like his father, maybe he’ll act like him too? Tawnykit though… Well. What Tigerstar doesn’t know what happens to the spawn of Goldenflower, couldn’t hurt him. Tawnykit would just have to have an accident… With a fox. She arranges with Darkstripe a way for the two kits to be taken to Shadowclan, only for Fireheart to intervene when he tracks Tigerstar and Nightfang to the border with Darkstripe, Bramblekit, and Tawnykit.
Much to Nightfangs horror, Tigerstar lets them go back to Thunderclan with Fireheart and Darkstripe. Meaning she wouldn’t be able to set up anything with Tawnykit.
Realising her time to produce a healthy heir for her brother might be running out, she panics, and ends up mating with a rogue. A large, battle-scarred tom with a dark brown tabby pelt and glaring amber eyes.
She willingly helps Tigerstar with the dog pack, and even gets him to agree to go in to the camp with Darkstripe and steal his heir Bramblekit back to Shadowclan. However Darkstripe is caught, and Nightfang barely gets away unnoticed by Thunderclan, or the dogs. She lays low until after Firestar goes to receive his nine lives.
When Tigerstar joins forces with Leopardstar to make Tigerclan. Nightfang can clearly see Leopardstar is in love with her brother, and decides to invite her on a border patrol, just the two of them. Once alone patrolling the gorge, she attacks Leopardstar, taking her first life. When she comes to, she wakes to Nightfang trying to throw her over the gorge, Leopardstar breaks free. But reluctantly makes a deal with the crazed black cat - she won’t ever try to mate with Tigerstar. But heads back to the Clan, leaving Nightfang alone with her thoughts.
She ignores Darkstripe however, once he joins Shadowclan. Knowing that Tigerstar loathes him, and wouldn’t look twice in his direction for a mate.
