Where had he gone?
Meadowpaw had scoured every corner of camp. Did he slip past her somehow while she was tending the garden that morning? He wasn't with Nutmegpurr. Her sister hadn't seen him either, but they were supposed to train later. Apprentices weren't supposed to leave camp without their mentors or another warrior. Then again, that rule had never stopped Gorsepaw or her.
The mesh of pawprints leading out of camp told her nothing. The damp air and her dulled nose made it near impossible to track, though for a heartbeat, she swore she caught the faintest trace of his scent near the edges of camp.
Maybe she was overreacting. She didn't want to make a big deal of it without cause. Gladebloom's disappearance had rattled her, and everyone knew it. For over a month she begged them to keep sending out the patrol, long after everyone else's hope had thinned of finding anything. If she told them Pebblepaw was missing and he came strolling back unharmed.... but what if he was missing? What if that feeling in her gut was right.
He had wandered out that night looking for Alder. She hadn't wanted him to get in trouble, so she never told anyone. What if he did that again and got lost or worse?
Meadowpaw felt like she was going to cry. She hesitates but settles on approaching the first warriors she sees. She stumbles over her words despite her attempts to keep her voice steady. "H-has anyone seen Pebblepaw? I-I can't find him anywhere!"

WINDCLAN MEDICINE CAT APPRENTICE 10 MOONS SHE/HER Meadowpaw values kindness and remembrance. As a kit, she internalized her mother's lessons, but questioned whether her way is the only way. She has broken free from the heavy burden of her mother's expectations due to their estrangement after the fire. She remains kind and soft-spoken through all she's endured, but is not afraid to speak out for what she believes is right.
Meadow works tirelessly at any task she undertakes, desperate to prove herself capable and worthy despite her disability. Without her mother's guidance, she finds new ways to express herself.
In conversations, she is gentle, thoughtful, and withdrawn, often hiding her struggles, fearing others seeing her as incapable. She continues to have a strong bond not only with her sister, but with her adopted family as well. Meadow uses her new freedom to support and deepen the bonds with her clanmates. Additionally, she has started to explore the more spiritual side of herself…
Her worldview is a complicated mix of hope and frustration. She wants to believe that there's hope at the end of all the suffering, but feels trapped by her limitations. With enough time and support, she may find a way to overcome her limitations and accept herself.
