Otterstrike
"Now I'm here. Otterstone, the cat who betrayed her name. Betrayed her clan's hopes in her."
Backstory
Otterkit was born in the Riverclan nursery. She lived a normal kithood, being obnoxious and loud. When she became an apprentice, she worked very hard to be the best at what she does. Her mentor encouraged her, and she quickly rose to the top of the hierarchy of apprentices. A brand of fire, still loud and obnoxious, Otterpaw was never alone, and got in trouble with the senior warriors for her crazy schemes with her friends. She was dubbed Otterstrike at her warrior ceremony after seven moons of training. Fierce and loyal, Otterstrike was quickly climbing up the chain of warriors, just as she had done as an apprentice. Then the river went low. Patrols reported back the beavers had moved in. Otterstrike was one of the first warriors to volunteer to fight them off. During the battle, the beavers huge teeth went almost straight through her hind leg. Otterstone would have died, but she was quickly brought back to the clan for her wounds to be treated. Her leg ended up being removed, and she was renamed Otterleg. Otterleg was bound and determined to regain her standing and worked tirelessly to become the great warrior she had been. Six moons went by and she could finally hunt, patrol and swim. Not as well as she could before her injury, but she could do it all. During her time as Otterleg, she flirted and became close with many cats, though Dirtfur was the first to really catch her eye. They became very close, and when the tom became sick with Greencough, Otterleg was again one of the first to volunteer to become medicine cat. She earned the position almost the same day as Dirtfur was exiled, and she found herself torn. Now dubbed Otterstone, the she-cat worked to become the best at her job, but it never worked out at well as she thought it would. With poor herb knowledge, and an influx of patients, Otterstone was swamped. Unable to do her work well, the tortoiseshell fell out of favor with the clan. Her ambition and pride wouldn't let her except this and she spiraled down, especially after Fawnsqueak was appointed her apprentice. The only cat she could find solace in was Koistream. History went on, and at the end of it the she-cat was discharged from her work. Lionstar established her old name, and gave her a new apprentice. And we meet the present. |
