Five Truths About Echosong
i.
She is born into the life of a kittypet.
She has a brother named Dakota and a sister named Frost.
She is the only one who dreams of cats with stars in their fur.
ii.
One night, long before SkyClan, she is cornered by a large tom. Her twolegs grab her before the tom can, but she remembers the night with frightening clarity.
She wonders why StarClan allowed such an encounter, until one night, she stumbles across a she-cat named Fallow. She… wasn't so lucky.
Echosong comforts her and convinces her to join SkyClan, where nothing like that will ever happen again. There, Fallowfern thrives and Echosong is always ready to soothe a she-cat or tom who have endured something similar.
iii.
Inwardly, she always hopes that she will die before Leafstar runs out of lives; she does not think she can bear to serve a leader who is not her loyal best friend.
iv.
Gathering herbs is one of her favorite pastimes; she thinks it is relaxing. Her favorite herb is daisy leaf, because the flower is so pretty.
v.
She never develops feelings for a certain tom, but she has always been fond of Bouncefire and his infectious energy.
I like Echosong but she isn't a favorite of mine, so I don't have any particular headcanons for her. I view her as a strong, independent she-cat who never struggles with forbidden love, but is always ready to comfort anyone who has had their heart broken, abused, or hurt.
Just to be clear: Echosong was not raped. Fallow(fern) was. Touchy subject, I know, and by no means canon, but it's never addressed in Warriors. I'm not sure it should be made into a huge plot point unless the author can absolutely do the topic justice, but I wanted to mention it here because my one headcanon for Echosong is that she would be the perfect cat to go to for anyone who has ever been faced with anything of that nature.
In my mind, she's like everyone's wise, older sister who has advice for everything and will always let you cry on her shoulder.
That's three SkyClan one-shots down, so if you want to request a non-SkyClan cat - go for it! They'll definitely appear more in the future, so if you want a 5T for, say, Ebonyclaw or Rockshade, etc, feel free to make a request!
Echosong was requested by several users.
