Personality

Kithood
Sleekkit was born in HorizonClan to Kestrelcry and Leapclaw. She had no siblings, and was kind of spoiled by her parents. Kestrelcry was HorizonClan's medicine cat at the time, and wanted to give her daughter an interest in herbs. Luckily for her, Sleekkit liked that idea, and wanted to become a medicine cat in the future as well. She helped out Kestrelcry in her den a lot, sometimes running little errands for her. Leapclaw would often pretend to have been injured in some way so that Sleekkit could pretend to treat him as practice, with Kestrelcry helping. It was cute.

When she was nearly six moons old, though, her aunts in OrchidClan, Iciclefang and Creamfleck, were both killed by rogues. Leapclaw was saddened by the loss of his sisters and decided to move back to OrchidClan, leaving his mate and daughter behind. Sleekkit was upset at first, but she soon started holding a grudge against her father for this, despite Kestrelcry's efforts to calm her down.

Apprenticeship
Sleekpaw became an apprentice, and was originally assigned to Kestrelcry. Except she sucked at being a medicine cat. She panicked under pressure and she couldn't remember herbs. So when she was eight moons old, she switched to warrior training. Way to go, Sleekpaw. Anyways, she was chillin' near the outer border once and ran into a young loner named Hollow who'd been bitten by an adder and was freaking out because he didn't want to die. Sleekpaw, being the queen she was, remembered her medicine cat training and was able to get him some herbs and make him not die. It was very nice of her. He thought so, too. He was allowed into HorizonClan to recover, and he later decided to join the Clan, taking the the name Hollowpaw. Sleekpaw and Hollowpaw were good friends from then on.

When Sleekpaw was eleven moons old, however, she received word from a messenger that Leapclaw had been killed by greencough. She was devastated, and she went to OrchidClan with Kestrelcry to attend his vigil. She was pretty sad for a while after that, but Hollowpaw - now named Hollowfall - did the best he could to cheer her up, and it kind of helped.

Warrior Life
Sleekfeather gained her warrior name a few moons after Hollowfall. They started drifting apart, though, as Hollowfall began seeing an OasisClan she-cat named Lousewhisper. Sleekfeather was preeetty unhappy about that, because she'd been crushing on Hollowfall for quite a while, and she'd been under the impression that he felt the same way. As it turns out, she was wrong. He was sort of dating Lousewhisper. That made Sleekfeather aNgRy. She got into a bunch of arguments with Hollowfall about it, and he finally just left HorizonClan altogether, moving in with Lousewhisper in OasisClan and becoming her mate. Sleekfeather was very upset about that, and pretty much just silently seethed for a while - especially once Lousewhisper gave birth to Hollowfall's kits, Beekit and Sparkkit. Except- oh, except- Lousewhisper died while kitting. Now that was something.

Hollowfall was understandably miserable. Sleekfeather was, too. She was feeling pretty guilty for how r00d she'd been to him. She started visiting him in OasisClan, and she apologized. They slowly but surely mended their friendship. In fact, she started visiting so often that Beekit and Sparkkit began seeing her as their mom. And - well - that kind of became a thing. By the time Beepaw and Sparkpaw were apprentices, there was definitely a new tension between Sleekfeather and Hollowfall. She helped him move on from Lousewhisper, and soon she even joined OasisClan to spend more time with him. Shortly before Hollowfall's kits were made into warriors, the two of them became mates. She got pregnant eventually, yay! She had four kits: Leopardkit, Hailkit, Rockkit, and Batkit. Things were chill. She, Hollowfall, Sparkspring, and Beestripe were all pretty tight with the new kits. Once they became apprentices, though, some things changed.

Sleekfeather was happy with Hollowfall in OasisClan, but she missed her original home. Hollowfall wanted to stay in OasisClan for his kits, though, so she moved back to HorizonClan on her own. That was okay with her, though; She got to see Hollowfall, Beestripe, Sparkspring, Leopardpaw, Hailpaw, Rockpaw, and Batpaw at the border whenever she wanted. One day, though, her kits were visiting her in HorizonClan, and Batpaw accidentally fell down one of the mountains and got pretty badly hurt. Like,, he had nasty scars everywhere. He was renamed Shredpaw, which wasn't very nice. Sleekfeather felt kind of awful for him. He and Rockpaw left the Clans when they were ten moons old, because Shredpaw couldn't really bear to stay with his name. Sleekfeather was very sad about that, but she just continued existing for a really long time.

She got into a tangle with a loner once, giving her the scar along her spine. But she ended up being fine. Good for her. She also became Coldpaw's mentor. Yay! Oh, but then Coldpaw died while on a trip with his parents and one of his brothers, Aspenpaw. That was not good. Sleekfeather was pretty miffed about that.

Leopardfire and Hailwillow became warriors. Yay! Shredpaw actually came back to OasisClan at around this time, and was named Shredspots. Unfortunately, though, Rockpaw had died while they were out, but OasisClan's leader at the time was convinced to give Rockpaw a ceremony anyways, and he was named Rockrunner so that StarClan could welcome him as a warrior. Sleekfeather was pretty miserable about the loss of her son, but oh well. It happens.

Kestrelcry was getting kind of old, but she received a new apprentice at some point - Thawpaw. Sleekfeather was glad that her mother had found another apprentice, as she'd been getting sort of fed up with constantly having to help her whenever she needed it. Thawsun received his full name eventually, and not long afterwards, Kestrelcry passed on due to natural causes. Sleekfeather was even more sad. Poor gal.

She existed for a super-duper long time. Aspenstar finally gave her another apprentice- his own daughter, Dapplepaw. She was pretty proud to be able to mentor her leader's kit, except she did a pretty sucky job of it apparently, because Dapplepaw died, too. A cave collapsed on top of her. Poor Sleekfeather just doesn't have good luck with apprentices, and it isn't even her fault. Poor lady.

She continued existing. Leopardfire became mates with some OrchidClan dude named Birchbreeze, and she moved to OrchidClan. They had a daughter named Saffronkit. Sleekfeather thought that was cool. She liked being a grandma. D'you know what she liked less? Losing her kids. Hailwillow and Leopardfire both got sick and died at around the same time - when Saffronpaw was an apprentice - which was kind of sad. Shredspots didn't like it, either, and he just hecking left the Clans again. He scuttled off to be a loner and was never seen again.

Sleekfeather was - needless to say - not very happy. But she kept on existing.

Retirement
Sleekfeather retired once she got old enough. She just vibed in HorizonClan's elders' den and did nothing for an extremely long time. She was quite unhappy when Lavenderstar closed OrchidClan's borders, because she could no longer get visits from Beestripe - although Beestripe joined the rebellion and visited her anyways, which sort of nulled that. But still.

Anyways, the plague started happening. Thawsun died, and Sleekfeather was a little bummed about that, although she's confident in Thundersight's abilities. She was a bit worried about the rest of her kin, but still confident that everything would turn out fine. She'd been through worse, as she liked to think.

Unfortunately for her, Sparkspring got sick and he ended up dying. Sleekfeather was very upset about it, particularly since she couldn't even be there with him - she'd thought of him as her son, after all. It sucked. She didn't like it. She was sad.

Currently, she's still sad.
