Fawnlight - Former RiverClan Medicine Cat
She/they | 16 moons [at death] | No purrks

Ever since the dreadful day at the border between the stars and the darkness, and subsequently dragging herself out of Moonfall Lake (she still... hadn't processed that she didn't die again), Fawnlight had become a recluse. She remained well within the confinements of her den, tucked away in the corner of StarClan territory and removed from a majority of where her fellow ancestors normally roamed. Fear had been struck in her, and she thought that by venturing back out that those claws would find her again - would shred her again.

So in her den she had remained, terrified to set even a whisker out. But the sound of little paw steps had her ears perking against her better judgement. Still shaking a bit and terrified of who it might be, Fawnlight poked her head out to see - oh. It was just a little kitten. Relief flooded her as she let out a sigh. A kitten couldn't kill her.

But what were they doing so far from - oh. Her pelt held no stars, which meant this was a dream. Fawnlight blinked and glanced around. It was strange how a cat had managed to pop up near her den in a dream. Slowly the former medicine cat got to her paws, taking a step or two and peering out. The kit seemed to be distracted by the water stream, and watching her dip her paws in a playful manner had Fawnlight smiling to herself. Once she deemed it safe, she padded out of the den slowly.

"Lovely, isn't it?" she purred in greeting as she came to stand next to the kit, hoping that she wouldn't startle or spook them. Fawnlight watched the way the water rippled, feeling homesick for home - for her dad, most of all - before her blue eyes shifted to her visitor. "What's your name, little one?"
