Your kitty is... Harepaw!
Harepaw is a cat from a longer time ago. He was best friends with the cat who everyone knows as Cedarstar.
A small, dark brown tabby tom with bright orange eyes, large ears, and a short tail. He has a sibling named Hazelpelt, who was almost something with Cedarpelt. But that's another story.
He was a little rebel. Shadowclan's political atmosphere was TENSE. Fights with Windclan were ramping up. Cedarpaw, his brother Sandpaw, and their fathers could feel it. But the brothers tried to stay out of the way. Keep quiet, keep your heads down and be good Shadowclan cats...
Harepaw said "Lol, lmao, even.". He was loud, outspoken, and passionate. The Clans needed to be better to each other. Stop treating each other like trash. Houndstar, bless her, she could be so aggressive towards others, she was... Quite blunt. An aquired taste that the other Clans did not take to. The tension was driving harder and deeper.
Harepaw's mentor was Pearstep, the son of Houndstar, grandfather of Lizardstripe. He was a cowardly cat who let his apprentice run his mouth. Harepaw fought to be heard by all. He was getting into Clan politics at a young age, he was determined to at least have the cats of Shadowclan treat others better. Who cares what the Warrior Code says, sometimes you need to be better than the code!
He got Cedarpaw into his message of kindness, generosity... Come on, let's go hunt near that shifting Windclan border, I see a huge rabbit, let's bring it to the elders, they deserve it...
The huge rabbit would turn. It slashed Harepaw's shoulder open, and the poor young cat screamed.
Cedarpaw brought his best friend back to camp, but... It was awful. The cut was deep. Redthistle could only do so much...
The next week would be Harepaw's last. He tried to fight the infection, but herb stocks were low, and Harepaw was so small... He passed from the infection, leaving Cedarpaw devastated. Harepaw's fire had been snuffed out before it could truly burn.
He vowed to carry out Harepaw's message, to at least have Shadowclan treat other cats better. He was flawed, he didn't believe in it as hard as Harepaw had, but he would be more welcoming to outsiders, kind towards cats who called for the newly established Queen's Rights.
It pushed Cedarpelt, and subsequently his brother Sandwhisper, into politics, setting him on his path to leadership, where he would see his friend once more during his Nine Lives Ceremony. Harepaw would give Cedarstar a life for Justice and Integrity.
It's a shame Cedarstar held such a grudge against Heatherstar for killing Hazelpelt too.
