Daisystorm babysitting her younger half-siblings, much to her displeasure.

Firekit annoys her, Beetlekit is a pest, Downkit is lazy, and she can’t stand Spiderkit.

In actuality, Firekit reminds her too much of herself, she’s jealous of the attention her father gives Beetlekit, Downkit is too pure for this messed up world, and Spiderkit looks too much like her deceased littermates. She has a love hate relationship with them.

Okay sooooo. She is one of the kits I decided to keep alive. But I also messed up. I thought that Ashfoot had a litter of three kits (Eaglekit, Hillkit, and Downkit), that all died around the start of TPB, and that she then had a litter before TNP that contained only Crowfeather. So I decided to keep one of the kits from the earlier litter.

However, this is not actually what happened in canon. Ashfoot had a litter of one during TPB, this being Eaglekit, and then before TNP she had her litter of three, with only Crowfeather surviving. By the time I found this out I was already attached to Downkit though so I'm keeping it this way.

So, to clarify: in my rewrite, Ashfoot has one litter of three in TPB with one surviving kit, Downtuft, and has another litter only containing Crowfeather. We are ignoring canon today folks!!

Anyway, Downtuft is Crowfeather's older sister and teases him quite a lot, but she does have his back.

Moon 225-Leaf-bare

Creekstar’s (79) kits have been made apprentices!  Spotpaw (6) has been apprenticed to Amberwhisker (84) and is already fitting in nicely with his older cousins.  Dawnpaw has (9) been feeling insecure and Spotpaw helps him work through his problems.  Spotpaw doesn’t mind that he’s dark-cursed!  Downpaw (6) has been apprenticed to Kestrelcreek (14).  He kind of wishes that he had been able to become a Healer apprentice, but, being powerless, he is not allowed to.  Goldenpaw’s (6) mentor is Rubbleheart (21). He’s longing for the safety of the nursery, which is making his wind powers act up a bit.  There’s a small flurry of snow in a constant whirlwind around him.  Hopedawn (14) is quite impressed with Goldenpaw’s strength and how strong he already is in battle. Auburnpaw (6) has been apprenticed to Smokefoot (14). She’s excited to learn the different techniques that Smokefoot knows, but, unfortunately, comes down with yellowcough before she can start training.  And finally, as expected, Echopaw (6) has been apprenticed to Primcrest (67).   Echopaw sends a quick prayer up to StarClan, hoping that it reaches them and not the Dark Forest, and jumps right into working hard in training. Primcrest appreciates that, but is overwhelmed with trying to train three dark-cursed apprentices at the same time, considering that Creekstar is too grief-stricken over Wildcave's death to train her apprentice.  Xhosa (93) is not a fan of having so many dark-cursed cats in the Clan.  She gets in an argument with Echopaw and the two end up resentful of each other.  There are even little sparks of fire dancing across Echopaw’s fur. A loner leaves their litter to the Clan and Smokefoot decides to take them in.  Surprisingly, both of the kits are quite powerful.  There’s Eaglekit (0), who has a relatively strong fire-blessing.  He already almost lit the nursery on  fire.  Then there’s Shinekit (0), who has the most powerful water-blessing the Clan has ever seen.  As a newborn, she manages to completely fill the camp with snow.  And then melt all of it and send it back out of camp.  Wow.  Smokefoot is a little overwhelmed, but she does her best.  Flowerpaw (9) proves her skill in battle by bravely lunging at a fox’s throat.  It’s not enough to officially prove her, but it could be a start.  The Clan is finally growing, as Safariaster (132) finds a litter of orphaned kits and brings them back to camp.  And they are quite powerful.  There’s the aptly named Brightkit (0), who’s fire-blessing is even more powerful than the famous Nightingaletree’s.  Thankfully Shinekit’s water-blessing is equally powerful and she hasn’t burned down the camp.  Then there’s Archkit (0), who is the most powerful star-blessed cat in the Clan’s history.  Creekstar is glad to have her.  But then there’s the matter of the other three.  Frostkit (0), Bluekit (0), and Skipkit (0) are all dark-cursed.  And they’re all more powerful than Creekstar, Primcrest, and their kits.  It’s kind of terrifying.  Creekstar doesn’t want to repeat her predecessor’s mistakes, but she’s scared.  If they prove to be dangerous for the Clan, she may have to exile them to save the rest of her clanmates.
