~Brightpaw~
Brightkit felt a stir of excitement as she stared at her sister, knowing Flowerkit must’ve been overly anxious in this moment. She was too, honestly. But upon seeing the smile and head dip, Brightkit had attempted to imitate her littermates movement, giving a broad smile as she gave a little dip of her own gray furred head. Her ears perked up slightly when Flowerkit mentioned have something to tell her, and Brightkit raised her eyebrows slightly. The little cat wondered what in the world Flowerkit knew and it had obviously caught Brightkits attention. Her ears perked up slightly when Flowerkit started and Brightkit gave a little nod at Flowerkits question. She had seen the young warrior around before but hadn’t paid much attention to them, but the news would certainly change that. A little grin plastered along her muzzle as Brightkit nearly jumped ”really?!” calling that out, Brightkit suddenly realized she may have been drawing attention to herself, so she lowered her voice “that’s—that’s great! That’s awesome!” another purr rose in her chest as Brightkit nodded softly again.
Her ears perked up slightly when she heard Aspenstar starting on the ceremonies. Giving her sister a little wink with her glowing blue eyes that held the obvious sign of excitement, Brightkit rounded on her paws and looked up at the leader once more. She grew more impatient with each name called that wasn’t hers, and with a soft sigh she had begun to give up hope that she wouldn’t be able to get her ceremony today, but then her name was called and her ears instantly perked up. Even with the stern glance from Aspenstar, it didn’t quell the excitement that was rising in her chest. She was no longer Brightkit, but rather Brightpaw! Even though she felt the need to find her mentor, Brightpaw decided against it and stuck to Flowerkit as she awaited for her sisters name to be called. It was the last one, and Flowerkit was renamed. A little gasp came from Brightpaw as she swung her head to look at Tulippaw. “You’re new name is so pretty!” purring it out towards her sister, Brightpaw pressed her nose to her sisters cheek. It really was a pretty name, at least to Brightpaw it was.
However, when she heard another cat approaching, Brightpaw had switched her gaze from her sister in the direction of the pawsteps. Her ears perked up slightly as her blue gaze swept across the crowd. She had never met this Newtheart, hadn’t really ever heard of him, but she supposed it would be better to give him a try rather than shunning away out of anxiety. Her mouth suddenly went dry when he seemed to appear in front of her from out of the crowd and Brightpaw felt herself shrink back just a bit out of instinct. She had allowed him to touch noises with her, it was traditional, so she wasn’t going to pull away from that, but she couldn’t deny the anxious feeling in her chest. Pressing her flank to her sisters side, Brightpaw took a moment before her voice was brought to a quiet level “Ah—um, hello,” giving a few slow blinks, Brightpaw peered towards her new mentor as her heart silently pounded in her chest. She needed to seem more brave, but at his next words her voice had only come up just a little bit “yeah—I guess you’re right, but that sounds fun though,” her little gray ears flickering, Brightpaw watched her mentor closely.
