Five Truths About Petalnose

i.

She meets Rainfur when he is a young, cocky rogue who thinks he knows exactly how the world works.

She finds him absolutely aggravating until he defends her from another rouge and pays for it with a nasty shoulder wound. After that, her heart belongs to him.

ii.

She has always dreamed of a life outside her twoleg den, but never believes it is possible. Her mother lived with the abusive twoleg as well, and she said there was no hope.

It isn't until SkyClan save her that she finally tastes freedom.

iii.

After being saved by Rainfur and SkyClan, Petal is determined to be able to defend herself. She is more enthusiastic to be a SkyClan warrior than she has anything else in a long time.

iv.

When Rainfur dies in the battle with the rats, Petalnose does not regret their decision to join the Clan.

She mourns her mate, but refuses to let regret soil his memory.

She tells stories of his bravery to their kits and make sure they know that their father was a true hero.

v.

Petalnose trains hard to be a SkyClan warrior, and she thrives.

She is finally rewarded for her determination when she is allowed to mentor her own daughter, Mintpaw, as an apprentice.

Petalnose's story is essentially intertwined with Rainfur's, because I thought they were adorable together in canon. I also admired how strong she was when he was killed, and refused to give up on the life of a warrior, despite seeing how dangerous it was. I like to think that her time with the abusive twoleg made her fearless.

*Note: I've been looking for ways to become more interactive with my readers, because you guys are literally my whole motivation for writing fanfiction. I appreciate all of you, but it can be a bit difficult to interact with so many of you here. Furthermore, I get asked a lot of questions (which I LOVE!) but I'm easily forgetful, and of course I can't reply to anon reviewers. So, after some research, I think I have a solution!

There is a website/app called "ASKfm", where you can make an account and ask/answer questions! You have the option to ask questions anonymously or display your chosen username, and 'like' others questions/responses! I've tried it out with a few of my own favorite FFN authors, and it's been a lot of fun!

I'm not sure if you have to create an account to be active, but if so, it's very quick and easy, and I've tested it out for myself - completely safe and virus free! I do recommend downloading the app simply because I believe it's a more enjoyable experience. The app is free to download in the app store (both android and iPhone) and it's free to create an account.

I really hope you guys will make an account and send me all of your questions, whether it be about Dawn Frost, future/abandoned works, or myself! If you do decide to create an account, my username is KatieMK101 (KatieK101 and KatieK102 were already taken...). Add me, and I look forward to answering some questions and getting to know you all better!

I can't recall if anyone ever requested Petalnose (someone probably did), but I forgot that I had this just sitting in my notes, so I polished it and uploaded it.
