So I've been debating what Whistlepaw's full herbalist name should be... Until I had a devious little idea...
(this is a sort-of snippet?? This rewrite is still in the planning stages so um. things might change)
Whistlepaw was nervous, yet excited about FINALLY getting her full name. She had been waiting for what seemed like years.
Kestrelwing stands in front of her, announcing her new status as a full-herbalist to the spirits of the moors.
Kestrelwing looks proudly down at Whistlepaw, who had been fidgeting during the whole speech.
"Are you ready?" He whispers, his voice as gentle as the breeze.
Whistlepaw looks up at Kestrelwing, hesitating for a moment... before nodding. "Yes. I am."
Kestrelwing smiles. "Then you shall recieve your full-name as Whistlesong, named after your special connection with the spirits that whisper to you--"
"Actually," Whistlepaw surprisingly interrupts. "I... would like to pick my own suffix."
Kestrelwing widens his eyes, tipping his head. "...Okay, you have my permission." He finally says, intrigued.
Whistlepaw sighs, clearing her throat before finally pouring out all of the words she'd been wanting to say after that whole debacle...
"I... I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me---for putting up with me, for letting me be your apprentice---and I know you've picked this name out since I trained under your wing... but after everything that has happened... I don't think I can have that as my name..."
Whistlepaw swallows, remembering her time in WindClan with her friend... Frostpaw. She remembers everything they've fought through, being by eachother's side... She can't just forget all of that.
She wants to remember it forever.
"...I'd like to change my name to Whistlefrost."
