"Oh dear, what in the world are you doing out here alone?! Come here sweetie, we need to get you out of these woods!"
HI as soon as i saw this i HAD to participate in another of @rooted-clangen 's YCHs, and who better to adopt little Rootkit than resident religious mama, Tallfog!
considering theres no other clans near Greyclan, maybe in this AU the Tunnels called out to Rootkit and beckoned her closer, and strangely she only had to wander for a few days before being found by Tallfog 2 moons before moon 0, despite the ruins of Hymnclan supposedly being many miles away...
of course, upon being adopted by Tallfog, she gets two new siblings!! Shadowkit doesnt mind having a new sister, but Emberkit would be furious at having yet another kit to contend with for approval (though she may just be worried about her...) but i think she'd eventually come around to being a fierce protector of her.
despite definitely still being interested in herbs, her lack of Sight would keep Root from being allowed as a medicine cat, but Mothgrowl would still be immediately drawn to her and become very fond of her, even teaching her medical knowledge with the help of her mentor Lilacfeather (who would definitely also grow close to her, also being rejected from the healing role)
maybe...just maybe, she could even get Ghoststar to eventually break tradition...and appoint her as backup medicine cat, Rootmask, despite not being able to see Shadows.
