Appearance
Duckfeather was a pale orange-tinted brown tabby she-cat with white splashes and pale amber eyes. She was small and thin throughout her life, with short fur and a light, agile frame.

Personality
Eh... it doesn't really matter. She was kind of quiet and shy at first glance, but she was actually quite fun and had a good sense of humor if anyone got to know her. She's similar to her niece in that respect.

Story
-

Since she's not that important, she won't even get segments. Basically, she was born to Wren alongside her brother Twist, and they moved around a lot until Wren was killed by another loner while off hunting once. Then she and Twist lived alone and just helped each other survive for a while until they ran into a Stoatpaw, a FallClan apprentice. Then he convinced them to join FallClan. Yay!

She became an apprentice with the name of Duckpaw and befriended Stoatpaw and Wingpaw, the latter of whom had just recently moved from HorizonClan. Duckpaw got along the best with Wingpaw. They all vibed for a little while. She was a little worried when Twistpaw got his chest sliced open by a badger, but he ended up being fine, so that was good. She soon received her warrior name, Duckfeather. She stayed in FallClan for a pretty long time until a rogue named Flame joined MarshClan and took the name Flamefur. She decided she thought he was hot and moved to MarshClan to spend more time flirting with him. It took some time, but they eventually became mates. Yay. After getting pregnant, she also became friends with another queen in the nursery, Fernfrost.

She soon had Flamefur's son, Scorchkit. Twistwhisker joined MarshClan at around that time as well. Not long afterwards, Fernfrost died, leaving Stormkit, Whitekit, and Sootkit without a mother. She felt bad and watched over them for the last moon of their kithood. She also became good friends with Fernfrost’s sisters, Ivybranch and Petalleaf, after Fernfrost's death. Petalleaf was Twistwhisker’s mate, too. Fernfrost and Ivybranch had never gotten along too well, but Duckfeather didn't care about that. She just wanted friends.

While Scorchpaw was an apprentice, Flamefur decided Clan life wasn't for him after all and he went back to being a rogue. Duckfeather was, of course, heartbroken, but she managed. She was proud of Scorchstripe when he became a warrior, and of Fernfrost's kits, too. She lived the rest of her life in MarshClan, eventually dying when she accidentally got trapped inside a collapsing tunnel. F.
