kithood [ 0 - 6 moons ] >
Burntkit was born after an uncertain time. Emberclan was in the stages of getting back to normal after dealing with traitors when leaf-bare hit. Things were harder than ever. Prey was scarce and the snow made it difficult to even attempt hunting sometimes. Burntkit grew up wanting nothing more than to help her clan. Her mother taught her to follow the warrior code to the letter, explaining that nothing is more important the clan and the code. Due to Burntkit's commanding attitude, she didn't exactly get along well with the other kits her age. They said she was too bossy and tried too hard to get people to like her. Burntkit didn't take what they said seriously since she didn't care what they thought. Her mother and father told her to be herself and if the other kits didn't like it, then that was their problem. When Burntkit was about to turn 6 moons old, her father died of greencough. It was a difficult time for Burntkit. She loved her father dearly and wanted to make him proud during her apprenticeship.
apprenticeship [ 6 - 12 moons ] >
Now an apprentice, Burntpaw wants to train and learn everything she can to help her clan and her clanmates. She wants to become a strong dependable warrior and become well respected in not only her clan, but all of the clans, exactly how she saw her father.
Burntpaw was given Shoretalon as her mentor and despite the cats fierce name, she found him to be quite the opposite. Shoretalon was, in her opinion, a coward. The two of them didn't get along in the slightest and Burntpaw was only ever interested in learning battle tactics from him.
Burntpaw was in camp when Lightningheart was pulled under by the muskie, and Burntpaw wasn't at all surpised. The old cat was doomed to die eventually anyway and she thinks in his fault for getting involved in something a warrior should have done. If Burntpaw was a fully grown warrior, she would have saved Lightningheart and that kit.
Burntpaw looked down on Lotusbreeze when they stepped down as deputy. How could a cat that was given that responsibilty just throw it away? It was dishonorable. She was much happier when Piketongue was chosen as deputy, knowing well that the she-cat would serve the clan.
It was only when Lotusbreeze was killed that Burntpaw began realizing that the world doesn't revolve around Emberclan. Something was happening around her and she kept her head on a swivel, not trusting others easily, remembering what her parents told her about the past traitors.
When the camp flooded, Burntpaw did her best to get out of dodge, following the directions of the warriors around her and making sure the cats around her did as well. Finding out the Reedstar was swept away was a blow for sure. Burntpaw understood though, that Reedstar was old and their views tended to be very single-minded on the warrior code alone. Starclan wasn't here, so the clans needed to rely on something else for now. Pikestar becoming leader the sign of something new for Emberclan and Burntpaw welcomed the change she'd bring. Taking refuge in the two-leg cabin was embarrassing at best. Burntpaw didn't like being around two-leg stuff for so long, but they didn't have a choice.
When Pikestar chose Thrushbriar as deputy, Burntpaw was convinced he wouldn't be able to take the pressure, being so timid, but he stepped up to the position. Burntpaw was nothing if not impressed.
Reuniting with the rest of Emberclan and going home was all Burntpaw wanted. She was happy to be home and away from the two-leg den finally.
The gathering was a welcome opportunity to scope out the other clans and Burntpaw was interested to see that apparently most of the other clans had all lost their leader's in some time. It was interesting to see, that the clans were going through high-ranks so quickly. When dropletshine suggested a quest, Burntpaw was over the moon. She wanted to go so bad, but much to her anger, she wasn't chosen.
She knew she'd be the best cat on that quest, but guessed that Pikestar thought her best defending camp. Burntpaw saw herself like a warrior now, old enough and wiser than other cats and especially the other apprentices.
When the earthquake happened, Burntpaw was convinced that this was some kind of punishment from starclan. But not to her of course. Something evil must still be in the clans if starclan was trying to purge them of cats.
Burntpaw waited with baited breath until her warrior ceremony, training harder and harder until she would receive her name.
warriorhood [ 12 - present moons ] >
When she finally received her name, Burntshadow was delighted. She thought her name it her very well and welcomed it openly. This was a new chapter in her life and Burntshadow was gonna make sure she was remembered.
