Appearance
She is a reddish-ginger she-cat whose fur looks gold in the sunlight, with red eyes. She was clearly very pretty once; but she's covered in horrific scars and is missing a leg and a good chunk of her tail.

Personality
She was forced to retire early, and she's salty about it. She likes telling scary stories to frighten apprentices. She's very rude. Sometimes, though, she'll pitch in in the medicine den, because deep down she doesn't want anyone else to end up like her. Also, she isn't really supposed to leave camp, but sometimes she sneaks out anyway. She usually gets caught and dragged back, though.

Kithood
Poppykit was born in FallClan. Wow. She had three siblings: Burrkit, Swirlkit, and Weedkit. Her mother, Russetwisp, was fiercely protective of them. Goldthicket, their father, was concerned that they'd grow up weak, so he started battle training them at a young age.

One day, their aunt Whirlwing stopped by to see them. Now, Whirlwing and Goldthicket had always been rivals. Whirlwing was shocked to see that Goldthicket was battle training his two-moon old kits. So she yelled at him. Goldthicket was angry at this, so he just up and murdered her. In front of everyone. Yeah, he was exiled. Russetwisp did not stand up for him.

Apprenticeship
As a new apprentice, Poppypaw was exceptionally good at fighting, but not great at hunting. It was the same with all of her siblings. At one point, Weedpaw almost injured another apprentice during training. Swirlpaw took the opportunity to attack him, and Weedpaw ended up dead. Oops. Poppypaw was a little frustrated.

At a Gathering, Poppypaw met Lichenpaw, a slightly younger OrchidClan tom. She liked him. She decided that this was going to be her mate someday, because she wanted her kits to have his personality. They started meeting at the border, and eventually Poppypaw actually fell in love with him.

Warrior Life
Poppystem became a warrior and moved to OrchidClan to be with Lichenbolt, who had agreed to become her mate. Swirlstripe moved to HorizonClan, and then proceeded to fall down a mountain and die. Good job, Swirlstripe. Poppystem was not very happy about that. Then she had kits - Vulturekit, Kalekit, Volekit, and Thrushkit - and she was happier.

When her kits became apprentices, Poppystem decided to take a long, but not permanent, visit back to her birth Clan, Volepaw lost his tail.

Eventually her kits became warriors, and Poppystem was happy - until the plague happened. That wasn't fun. Voletuft scooted into OasisClan, making Poppystem's travel plans a bit longer. Oh well.

One day on patrol, Poppystem encountered a badger. She decided to take it on by herself, and lost a leg and a lot of her tail. Burrtuft found her unconscious, and then the badger killed Burrtuft. Oops.

Poppystem was then told that she was no longer fit to travel anywhere, and that FallClan was her new permanent home. Poppystem was not happy about that. She was even less happy when she was made an elder.

Retirement
One day, the bodies of both Goldthicket and Russetwisp were found on the border, seemingly having fought each other to both of their deaths. Poppystem was now super angry and frustrated. Then she witnessed the death of Oceandusk, a young warrior, and was kinda traumatized by that. Oops.

Currently, she just sits around in the elders' den and yells at people.
