———-,. ° ✧- HISTORY -✧ ° .-,———
✧ Wildrose, once known as Foxtrot, used to live as a kittypet before leaving with her best friend in tow, Romeo having dreams of a place full of wild cats. They come upon Thunderclan and are soon accepted as a medicine cat apprentice for their connection to Starclan, given the name Wildpaw. She and the now-renamed Alderpaw are still inseparable, even with their different training. They seek the other in quiet moments when left alone, falling for the other and secretly becoming mates. The pair looked forward to receiving their names together upon completing their training; however, during a huge battle between Thunderclan and Shadowclan, Alderpaw and another apprentice were knocked into the river, washing them downstream. Wildpaw wanted to save him though Alderpaw's mentor,
Elmleap stopped them, it was too dangerous and it was unlikely he was to live.
✧ In a state of mourning, believing their mate and best friend to be dead, they continued their training and became Wildrose, a skilled healer vowing to protect and save those in her clan in the name of Alderpaw, requesting their name as a reminder of the other to hold with them always. With such a strong connection to Starclan and being adept with herbs, he ends up a respected healer amidst the clans, even for their kittypet blood, offering to help other clans with their sick and injured in times of need. However, as war began again amongst the clans, especially between Thunder and Shadow yet again, Wildrose couldn't help but grow nervous, as the Stars kept warning them of danger amongst the trees, a prophecy Wildrose struggled to interpret. But she persisted, preparing herbs and keeping fellow medicine cats updated with herbs from outside their territories. She was especially protective and alert for their apprentice,
Newtpaw, a young cat they took in and essentially raised themself, which greatly reminded Wildrose of Alderpaw when he was his age. Wildrose prepared her stocks as best she could for the battle, but nothing could have prepared her for what would come.
✧ The fight was almost impossible for Thunderclan, cats far stronger than they were meant to be, cats shrouded in darkness and seeping blood unfazed joined the fight or watched with cruel smiles. Something dark, something evil had infiltrated the clan. Wildrose's attention was dragged from those they were healing, hearing Newtpaw yelp, seeing a face they never thought they would again. Face to face with who used to be Alderpaw but is now a great, towering stranger by the name of Deadwood. Without thinking, Wildrose attacked Deadwood to save her apprentice, and a vicious fight ensued, and they tried desperately to escape. It ended with Deadwood, enraged, believing Wildrose left him for dead purposefully, pinned her to a tree and ripped out his throat. As they lay there dying, they knew at least they saved their apprentice and many cats with what medicine they could administer, what wounds Wildrose had inflicted on Deadwood were seemingly enough to cause them to collapse too. He crawled to Wildrose's side, resting a head upon them and their dying words to Deadwood were that of forgiveness.
✧ Many moons have passed, more than Wildrose can remember, the clans have fallen and since risen again. Wildrose passed on many wisdoms, lives and prophecies to cats before, and now awake again, seeks to continue that for the newly reborn clans. Though she never got the second chance she always hoped for, with them and Deadwood, wherever he was, at least that can be given to the clans and forewarn them from something like that happening again, from allowing the Dark Forest to corrupt innocent cats and turn them against the Warrior Code and the very Stars that seek to protect them.
