Floodleopard's kits
Flood wasn't planning at all to have kits, she just got a bunch in a very short amount of time
what I'm picturing so far is
1->
She volunteered at the Daycare one day and Slugkit (who's mama/parents died and now is there 24/7) grows really attached to her to the point of crying if she goes too far.
Fungi is like "do you want to adopt him?"
and she's like "well shit I guess I got no choice look at him"
2->
She sees kits drowning and leaps in to save them. She demands what they were doing so far in the water, and the kits tell her that their father wanted to test their skills (I don't know who the father is, but he is sent to the Death Ring).
Flood takes in the kits.
3->
Flood notices that one or two of her kits keep sneaking to the same place with their minnows.
She follows and find them feeding their friend, a lost kit who woke up one day with his parents gone. She sighs and takes him back to the den.
The kit I imagine for this scenario is the black one with a white belly
4+->
And then she just keeps adopting kits, sometimes before she even knows it.
Like once she probably woke up with an extra child snuggling by her and is just told "I was really cold, please don't be mad" and she just wraps her tail tightly around them all and goes to sleep again.
I also like to imagine once she found a kit or two, began walking them home, then heard little footsteps and turned to see ANOTHER litter of kits following her because "hey she said she's taking them to a safe place."
