The first moon of Root’s life hadn’t gone so prettily.
She never knew her mama but she heard some cats in the nursery talking about her, but as much as they talked about how much they loved Root’s mama they didn’t come to take care of Mama’s baby.
Root knew she had three brothers. She had heard names whispered around, but her brother’s all had so many names because Daddy hadn’t come to see them long enough to name them. So she named them herself in her head. Reedkit because it sounded a little like her name, that was her middle brothers name. Treekit was her biggest brother’s name, because a tree is bigger than roots but just like they needed each other, a tree needed roots and roots needed a tree. And finally, her other oldest brother, she named him Finchkit because she vaguely recalled his few days of life where he was just a little bird. Her little bird.
Sitting in the nursery had been too lonely, and she was afraid of the dark. She was afraid and wanted her father, but he hadn’t come to see her for weeks. She couldn’t even remember his face. He was a ghost of her mind. Her whole family were echoes, mere shadows of memories.
Exploring the camp for the first time was a spur of the moment decision, feeling confined in the nursery. The den walls and little kits playing wasn’t comforting. She had stayed curled in her nest, but finally she left the nursery. No announcement, not telling anyone where she was going, just left, quickly and almost defiantly. As if someone would stop her. (As if someone would care.)
Skipping out of the den, she halted mere feet away from the den, bright blue-green eyes squinted against the unfamiliar sunlight, ginger tabby kit-fluff bristling with surprise. It was so big!

Fernwillow had been considering something blasphemous. Something that--after the execution of both Sunglow and Moontail--was sure to get her killed as well. Lately, ThunderClan had been feeling more like a prison than a clan, and the silver tabby was feeling more trapped with each passing day. The raid party had returned beaten, and several cats less than she had seen leave. However, they seemed in high spirits. She had wondered how RiverClan was fairing. Since then, life had almost returned to normal. Fernwillow had been avoiding patrols, though it wasn't that hard, as Spiderthroat hadn't called on her. Featherpaw was gone, disappearing into the night and leaving Fernwillow truly alone.
She wanted to leave. Perhaps not to another clan, since who was to say they would be any better? But maybe she would try her paw at living the life of an outsider. It couldn't be that hard, since she practically already did it in her own clan. But something had been keeping her from slipping out the camp entrance and never coming back. Fear. She was terrified that she would be forced to come slinking back in shame, or that Bumblestar would hunt her down and kill her for deserting--not that Bumblestar would even notice or really care since she hadn't voiced any plans to join other clans, but Fernwillow recognized it was an irrational fear. She didn't want to be alone--in fact the very thought was abhorrent. She liked clan life. But what would make it worth ignoring the growing unease in her chest?
The answer came in the form of a little ginger kit staring wide-eyed out of the nursery, fluffy kitten down puffed up in awe at the sight of camp. Cats were causing a general ruckus out in the clearing, and Fernwillow felt a twinge of annoyance. For StarClan's sake, was this clan filled only with fox-hearts and slug-bellies? Did no one have any sense? The lithe silver tabby padded over to the kit, her green eyes glittering in the afternoon sun. "Much bigger than you thought it would be, hm?" She meowed gently, glancing at the nursery entrance. This kit was way too young to be out by herself. Who were her parents?
[Pardon the bit of ambient lore--haven't posted with her in a while. Also is this before, during or after the stuff with Moontail?]
Falling paw sat in the clearing cleaning his white fur and around his wounds on his shoulder he felt someone bump into his leg and looked down to see a small kit "Uhh hello." he smiled

Nectarkit looked up at what looked like a humongous cat to her! She jumped up and down. "Hi! hI!" she meowed excitedly. "Why are you so tall what's your name mines nectarkit are you a warrior an apprentice?!" she jumped up and down. "Whats it like outside or camp what's a gathering like?!" she jumped up and down asking multiple questions this way and right. Excitement was behind her large sparkling eyes. As she looked up at the apprentice.

She swished her tail in happiness it was straight in the air. "Woah your name is so cool and is it really that big what's you warrior name going to be?" she asked the apprentice as she smiled brightly looking up a this as she felt his paws on her head. She leaned back so his paw slid down her face a little bit hopefully for her to playfully nip it she gave a devilish grin.

She looked up at the tom and smiled at him. "You know your extremely tall sir" she lifted her head up. "When your a warrior does it mean you cant play anymore?" she asked in fear.
