GOOSEKIT, 1 Moon / Windclan Kit
A fluffy reddish brown tabby with dark paws, a matching white chest and tail tip, and big, dark green eyes.
Sister to Hootkit and Finchkit | Daughter to Owlbear and Bushrunner
An adventurous young cat who aspires to be many things, but most of all to be even half as great a warrior as those she grows up around.

Mom was sleeping. Goosekit wasn't. No one else was watching. This was her chance.

Goosekit ever so carefully stepped out and away from her sleeping mother, her emerald eyes lingering on the queen for some moments just to make sure she wouldn't immediately wake up upon the loss of Goosekit's presence. She must have been real tired from how much she'd had to watch over Goosekit and her sisters lately. Well, Goosekit wanted to reward that! She'd thought about going to the freshkill pile and sneaking her a bonus snack, but, well, that was against the rules. Someone might get mad about that! And more trouble like that was the last thing her mom needed. No, Goosekit would go out into the wild and catch her mom the freshest kill she could!

That, too, was against the rules, of course... But could anyone really get mad at Goosekit if all she did was bring back some extra food for her mother? Maybe a little, but they'd also get to see how capable Goosekit was!

The orange cat made sure she stuck to the outskirts of camp as she snuck around, staying low to the ground as best she could. Of course, she failed to consider that her bright red tail was still sticking straight up out of the grass the whole way. But no one immediately approached her, so she was probably fine.

Finally, she'd successfully made her way around the den to the very edge of the camp, and, with a deep breath, she set one paw outside the boundaries. ...Nothing bad had happened yet! So far so good, in Goosekit's personal opinion. Her confidence bolstered, her bright orange tail swished back and forth with giddiness as she continued to take more and more steps out of camp until her whole body was outside its boundaries. And still, nothing bad had happened to her! What was really so scary about the outside world, anyway? The clan in the stars would keep her safe, right? ...Well, the stars weren't out right now, so maybe they couldn't. But she could just watch out for herself, instead!

Goosekit kept her head low, as she prowled through the grassy wilds, her nose keenly sniffing for any prey. She wanted to return with some freshkill before her mother woke up, so the sooner she found some, the sooner she could get back!

ECLIPSEPAW // 06 moons // WindClan Apprentice // He/They // #ff9e42
A scruffy long-furred tortoiseshell tom with low white, large ears and sky blue and soft yellow heterochromia eyes
Son of ASTRO and NEBULA, sibling to TWINKLEPAW and COMETPAW
A young cat with a bit of an attitude, sometimes snarky but also loves to explore and fascinated with the stars.

Ever since the fire Eclipse's brother hadn't been the same.

Comet had usually been so upbeat almost to an annoying degree always wanting to play with that raggedy old ball he used to stash around the barn before it had gone up in flames. He always used to be the first to race everywhere too but not anymore, Eclipse was certain he hadn't seen his brother move faster than a hearty trot since that night actually. He was sure that Comet was blaming himself for what had happened, how him going back inside the barn to save Eclipse had resulted in that old man Hoot rescuing Comet but at the cost of his own life... The young tortoiseshell tom wasn't sure why Comet didn't just blame him instead! If he had of gotten himself out alongside his brother then none of that would've happened after all.

Eclipsepaw huffed from where he'd been laying in camp to soak up the sunshine, rolling over onto his tummy and slowly opening his multi-coloured eyes-- That was when he spotted a certain small bright red tail slipping its way away from the camp. Squinting the apprentice glanced around for her mother but Owlbear seemed to still be fast asleep, she probably needed the rest too with having her paws full thanks to the three kits all the time. He sighed silently as he got to his paws. Given how the family had helped him and his brother especially he figured it'd be best to go after the kit just to make sure she didn't get herself into too much trouble. He and Hoot hadn't gotten along the best back at the barn but Eclipsepaw still didn't want anything bad to happen to the grandkits and Owlbear didn't need even more to grieve about, so off he went as quietly as his paws could manage to follow after Goosekit.

The orange kitten did pretty well at keeping herself low to the ground-- For a kit anyways but seemed to have forgotten to also lower her tail! Eclipsepaw would trail after her keeping hopefully enough distance for her to not notice she was being followed yet but also still close enough to keep Goosekit in view in case anything happened. From what he could gather she seemed to be scenting for something? Or maybe someone? He wasn't quite sure exactly what yet but would start to try and scent for things himself. He knew he should probably just approach the kit and pick her up and take her back to camp before a grown up cat noticed they were both gone without supervision of some kind but where was the fun in that? Maybe they would get in a bit of trouble but getting to explore the new home would be exciting! And he was close enough to being a full warrior anyways! He knew how to handle danger! ... As showcased by how he handled the flames back at the barn...
