Fallingstar- a leader of Honeyclan, previously their medicine cat, Fallingstep. More under the cut!

Fallingstep qas chosen to lead Honeyclan by starclan after the leader and deputy died in a great battle. Gatorhowl was his mentor- and she trained him as a medicine cat, but also taught him many battle moves.

Fallingkit was born with a wobble- something his mother, Snowstorm, believed would make him a nuisance to the clan, and something she thought would soon kill him as a kit. Gatorhowl was furious with her over her mistreatment of the young kit, and adopted Fallingkit as her own son [despite protests of the clan that she was a medicine cat- Slatestar allowed this, saying she was the only one who stepped up to the responsibility]. She tied his legs to increase his range of movement, something that got the kit up and walking on his own- albeit, always with a wobble. Fallingkit wanted to be a medicine cat like her- which she hesitated to allow at first. She didn't want Fallingkit to feel as if it was the only path available to him, but after nagging her for two moons she eventually gave in.
