if willowpelt’s three kits in her first litter had survived, what would they be named? would they have helped darkstripe stray away from a path of darkness?

they received names in StarClan! theyre Icekit, Stormkit, and Cinderkit.

im not sure if they would have changed Darkstripe's path at all. Darkstripe already had a very sibling relationship with the Firesibs because he was quite literally raised along side them (they all primarily nursed at Willowpelt's belly rather than Spottedleaf's). potentially, since there's More Of Them, they could have better "kept him in line" so to speak...

...or Darkstripe could be worse, because he feels like he isn't getting any attention, what of being 9 kits all trying to get their mothers' attention. he already feels "differentiated" from the Firesibs now, because he doesn't want to be "cursed" like them, so he's stripped all identity of being "their brother"

maybe some of them would have been as bad as Darkstripe, or even worse.

(or maybe they were reincarnated as Sorrelkit, Rainkit, and Sootkit. who knows.)

(maybe Darkstripe was supposed to die too and be reincarnated as Graystripe. or not. just spitballin')

*The Squad right before Fireheart’s wedding*

Runningwind: Well, I have to go. I have a wedding to attend.

Sandstorm: Wait...Oh! I have a wedding to attend too!

Darkstripe: Oh, I have a wedding to attend as well

Cherryfur: I THINK WE ALL HAVE WEDDINGS TO ATTEND

Graystripe, panicked: I THINK I HAVE A WEDDING TO OFFICIATE

its the gal! sandstorm!!! a little less spicy than canon I’d say, a lot more supportive over all. out of the Girl Gang, she’s the one whose most friends w/ Mousefur, whose like Out of the Gang yknow. Just Slightly Adjacent. Mousefur was friends w/ Lightningpaw/fur but “hated” the rest of the firesibs (she didnt want to be associated w/ them cause they were ‘forbidden kits’ yknow but she also didnt want to be alone and thus gravitated towards Lightning and decided she was “good”), then Lightning left, and Mousefur was alone. She hung out w/ Sandpaw/storm in the background though because Sand was also kind of “adjacent” to the gang at that point. they’re not besties but SandMouse is a friendship I’d kinda like to focus more on in the future! they just chillin

also, for those like “whose Beach???” see ch. 57! Beach is a BloodClan kittypet, and in that chap he’s mentioned to be Minty’s mate and the father of Ash and Soot. he’s even mentioned to look like Sandstorm! later in ch. 60, Brindleface makes a comment about it being good that her litter has “warrior blood” bcus of Whitestorm being their father. this is supposed to be a reference towards Beach being Sandstorm’s dad and therefore not having pure “warrior blood”!

and yes, FireAlder did name him Beach because he’s a b*tch. also because sand comes from the beach lol
