please, as a token of my apology, take this very late art
The mudpaw-whitepaw-pseudo-brothers thing is an idea that goes back to nearly the beginning. Back in 2022, when I was still throwing ideas at the wall of my mind and seeing what stuck, I had the idea of Mudpaw and Whitepaw being cousins/half brothers (same dad, moms would've been sisters. much familial drama would've ensued). This, obviously, did not make it into the final version of the story, but the idea of Mudpaw and Whitepaw being sort-of-siblings has been in the back of my mind the whole time. With Doveheart acting as something of a foster mother to Mudkit, he would've spent a bit more time around Whitekit compared to the others in the nursery. That being said, I don't think they were ever especially close, emotionally. Whitekit was probably more like "so who is this guy taking MY mama's attention??" in his little baby brain lol
