Succulentpaw/stripe, apprentice and warrior of Willowclan
daughter of Shimmerpelt
Succulentpaw’s mother died from birth exhaustion and leaf-bare sickness, and in turn she grew up weak because not many other cats in camp had much milk. Adding insult to injury, she broke her tail in some rough play with apprentices, because there were no other kits to play with. She lost many social skills early on, and became very aggressive and irritable. Her father avoided her for these reasons, and because he was angry with his clan in general.
By stroke of luck, Succulentpaw was given her relaxing uncle Dreamfoot as a mentor, a tom who had instinct to deal with a kit like her. He gives her extra time to learn, and gives her space when she becomes aggressive and throws fits. As they became closer, he was able to approach her in her anger and calm her by curling around her and licking her pelt, affection that Succulentpaw very much appreciated. With his help, she was able to slowly grow from a wild mess to just a crabby, sassy trainee. Some of the other apprentices even started interacting with her after this change as well, especially the young curious Ashpaw, who Succuletpaw grows to appreciate.
Succuletpaw is the first to detect mysterious activity in the territories following a string of deaths, and brings her concerns to her mentor. Her and Dreamfoot are the first to begin investigating what is going on, although the rest of Willowclan sees the occurrences as just a way to gain more power while the other clans are weakened and thrown into chaos.
