She found nothing wrong with the name ‘Thea’. It reminded her of the tough times she managed through that made her strong. With this new name...she felt like a new cat all of a sudden. Like everything that happened in her past never happened in the first place. Fawnfern let out a soft whimper, and she shifted in her nest slightly. Now that she was a clan cat, she might as well accept their culture. She just wasn’t prepared for being stripped of everything she knew just to get a new name. In all honesty, she blamed Weaselshade for convincing her to get her name changed. She didn’t understand why he wanted her to get her name changed; did he not like her name? Fawnfern’s ears twitched when she heard someone approach. She turned her head to glance at the visitor, her fur on end until she recognized that it was only Weaselshade. Immediately, she remembered days prior of his brilliant idea to get her name changed. Fawnfern plopped back down into her nest, her paws hanging out and her head between them. “Hey, Weaselshade,” she greeted, dully, a bit gloomy. “What’s up?” She asked. She was too pouty to be curious as to why he was in here. Usually, if he wanted his kits he would had approached them, but he approached her first, so did he need something? She was too sulky to begin arguing with him; with anyone. It may not have been a big deal to have a name change, but it was to her. The name just didn’t fit her...she didn’t like it at all.

Weaselshade cocked his head to the side in surprise. Fawnfern seemed upset, she didn't have any reason to did she? The tom sat there in confusion for a while until it dawned upon him that she probably didn't like her name. He would give it to her that the name did not suit her, and maybe Thea did better [even though he didn't see how] but was she really that depressed about a name? A warrior name was a great thing, cats would accept her because of her new name. Hadn't she always wanted to be accepted by the cats in WindClan? A new name was a chance for that. So why would she be sad about that. It didn't make sense. The large tom looked at her in confusion. "Fawn, what's wrong?" He asked, barely noticing the fact that he had called her by a nickname. The only thing he was really noticing was that she was depressed and he didn't understand why. When Weaselshade was depressed it was because he hadn't caught a large piece of prey, or he couldn't find one of his friends. Something very predictable and easy. What did Fawnfern have to be depressed about? If one of the kits was missing she'd be freaking out not all sullen like that. If anything had happened to one of the kits she would be freaking out. So it couldn't be that. She was such a complicated cat that Weaselshade couldn't think of anything she had to be depressed about.
