Osprey - Marsh Colony New-Claw
Parents: Indigoeyes and Kestrelsnap
Siblings: Snowstorm, Falconswoop, and Pool
Mentor: Birdflight
“We gather under the light of the Spirits Beyond to give this cat a new name,” Captain Hawkshell said, recalling the words from her own renaming ceremony so long ago, and from Falconswoop’s transition to a molly more recently. “In light of the recent tragedy–and the name of the cat who caused it–Ice has asked that she be reborn, under a new name and identity. Henceforth, she shall be known as Osprey.”
Osprey lifted her chin, even though it made pain lance through her face and the wrappings tug at her neck fur.
She had chosen her new name carefully. Her great-aunt was named after a hawk; her mother, a kestrel; her older sister, a falcon. As Osprey, she would join them and be as fearsome as her namesake.
Others might criticize Hawkshell’s inaction, but Osprey was grateful. She would rise on new wings, she would soar over those who hurt her, and one day she would sink her talons into Iceclaw’s heart.
Vengeance, justice, was hers to deliver.
