I was born alongside my two siblings, Bumblekit and Blossomkit to my mother Mille, and my father Graystripe.

I was a very excitable kit, leaping around, and gazing at people with endless blue eyes filled with happiness and sunshine and rainbows and every single happy thing you could think of.

I felt nervous when I was apprenticed to Thornclaw, he always seemed like a stone-cold warrior and cats said that he could be really harsh.

I felt happy when I learned that he was strict, but incredibly caring at the same time, always looking out for me in his gruff manner.

I felt so guilty when Honeyfern died to save me from a snake, and angry at myself for being so careless and in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I couldn't bear to keep my head up as Berrynose yowled his grief out at Honeyfern's death, they both loved each other very much. And it was my fault she was dead.

I felt nothing but pain as the tree crashed down on me, and my world turned black.

I felt despair when I realized I would never be a warrior, and consoled Thornclaw when he came rushing over to apologize when he had done nothing wrong. Again, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. This time Longtail had to pay the price.

I felt exhilarated, that despite my injury, Firestar still gave me my warrior name.

I felt annoyed when Mille kept fussing over me, I wasn't that helpless, and kept pushing away Blossomfall, despite my efforts. Actions have consequences, and that was proven when Blossomfall then joined the Dark Forest.

I felt useless in the Great Battle, but tried my best to keep out of every cat's way and help out wherever I could.

I felt relieved when Blossomfall actually didn't betray the clan, it was just a heat of the moment type of decision, when she was angry and made an irrational decision.

I felt confused when I came to the conclusion that being a medicine cat wasn't for me, even though Jayfeather would've been a great mentor. It was a good thing I didn't, the last thing Thunderclan needed was a fourth medicine cat.

I felt disoriented when I knew I would never be a queen. So what was I?

I felt grateful when Daisy explained to me that I didn't need to have kits to stay in the nursery. I mean, you do, but you can help out there, and the other chores around camp too. Yes, that was just the job for me.

I felt bad for Blossomfall when she kept getting neglected by Millie, and decided to talk to Millie and Blossomfall and help them sort out their issues.

I was sad that my time had come, and even though I had regrets of what I could've been, I couldn't help but feel excited at being able to normally run and walk and skip in Starclan. Maybe for once I was in the right place, the right time.

Longtail and Honeyfern were the first ones to greet me, and the gesture made my heart melt.

I was the first one to welcome Stemleaf (Blossomfall's son) into Starclan - he was so thrilled to meet me. (Apparently Blossomfall told him all about me.)

I am Briarlight.
