Dear Diary. . .

My name is Sparrowkit! I was born into WindClan. Mother says I look just like any other WindClan cat and Father says I have strong legs made to chase after rabbits! My short brown fur is nice and glossy because Mother always tells me I need to look nice. She says my green eyes are pretty too. Mother tells me that she named me Sparrowkit after all of the memories she has of catching sparrows in new-leaf. I think that’s really special. I enjoy playing with the other kits in the nursery and learning as much as I can about the world. I get into a little bit of trouble every once in a while, but the my favorite elders always tell me that all the kits do, so I don’t get too upset over it. Oops! I’ve got to go now. It’s looks like one of the elders is about to tell a good story! I’ll make sure to tell you all about it later!

 

Today was very exciting! Mother finally let us out of the nursery after keeping us in there for too many days. When Father came home from patrol, he taught me and Brother a hunting crouch! Father told me I did very well and he had to correct Brother a lot. Father said we were equally good, but I think I was better. It’ll be okay. I told Brother I’ll help him out later. We’ll be the most well prepared WindClan apprentices!

Brother got a stomach ache yesterday. It was scary because he was hurting and Mother was worrying a lot. The medicine cat brought him some herbs to make him feel better. I listened carefully when they explained what the were and how to use them to Mother. Now I’ll be able to help Brother if there’s no one else around to help him!

 

I spent all day running around the camp with Brother and some of the younger kits. I think I’m the fastest, but Brother said he was letting me win. My paws started to hurt, so I took a break and sat outside of the medicine den. I probably imagined it, but I think I saw the medicine cat staring at me. I tried to ignore it. I assumed my fur must have looked wild after all of the running and playing. They stopped staring after a while, so I just went back to playing. It was lots of fun. One of the older apprentices. . .

I woke up from a really weird dream today. I don’t quite remember much about it now, but I told Brother when he woke up. He said I just had fluff in my brain, so we argued about it until we weren’t really sure what we were arguing about anymore. After we were exhausted from fighting we shared a rabbit with our Mother and. . .

 

Last night I dreamed of lots of starry cats! They didn’t talk to me and I didn’t talk to them, but I watched all of them walk around. At first I thought I was seeing StarClan cats, but I know that couldn’t be. Only medicine cats and Clan leaders can talk to StarClan. I’m not either of those things. But it was cool to see them. I hope I dream about them again. The star sparkling in their pelts were really pretty. . .

I’ve been catching the medicine cat and their apprentice glancing at me a lot recently. Even WindClan’s leader has joined in on it. I’ve been trying to behave and I thought I was doing well, but I can’t seemed to shake their watchful eyes. I’ve tried to hide in the nursery for the past two days just in case I’m in trouble, but Mother says I need to get some fresh air. I’ll tell you what happens when I come back from outside.

If I wasn’t in trouble before, I am now. I could feel the medicine cats watching me and I just had enough of it! I wasn’t thinking and I stomped right up to them and asked them what their problem was and they just looked at each other and talked to me like I was a newborn kit! Their excuse for staring was anything special either. I think a lot of other cats saw me march up to the medicine cats, so I’ll be in a lot of trouble as soon as Mother finds out.

WindClan’s leader called me and Mother into their den today. I thought I was in trouble for sure, especially when I noticed the medicine cats waiting inside the leader’s den too. But things took a surprising twist. They explained to us that StarClan had sent them a message. I’m to be a medicine cat, but WindClan already has two medicine cats. RiverClan, however. . .

Mother was too upset for more than a day before she was ready to talk to anyone. I was upset, but not like Mother. I didn’t want to leave WindClan! I stayed in my nest and thought about it for a long time. I’m a WindClan cat and I know that in my heart, but all of the sudden I couldn’t stop thinking about those cats with the stars in their pelts. Those were StarClan cats. I realized that there was a lot about the world that I still didn’t know and I wasn’t going to be happy until I learned all of those things. I knew in my heart what the right thing to do was. I told Mother that too and I think that she knew too.

 

I am 6 moons old today. Brother and I had two different ceremonies. My brother is finally a ‘paw now, but I’m not. Brother is still a WindClan cat, but I am not for long. Things are changing and they are changing fast. Today I took on my new name. I asked for my name to be changed from Sparrow to Moor, in memory of my true home in WindClan. I’m not afraid to go to RiverClan anymore, but I am afraid to leave everything I’ve ever known behind. But now I have my name to comfort me. I will always be my mother’s Sparrow, but I am Moorkit now. I leave for RiverClan soon and there I will recieve my apprentice name and become a RiverClan cat.

---

Name || Moorkit > Moorpaw > Moorstream [half her name to honor WindClan, half her name to honor RiverClan]

Age || 6 moons

Gender || Female [ she, her ]

Appearance || Typical Havana Brown; short brown fur with brilliant green eyes

Personality || Easy-going, wishes to impress her new RiverClan Clanmates, curious, determined, smart, a leader, willing, honest, observant, loyal, faithful, especially good at moving past Clan rivalries due to coming from another Clan, a little bossy

Though everything in her body tells her to be shy and not get in the way of any RiverClan cats, Moor understands that she has a job to do now. Moor can see that this is bigger than her. RiverClan needs a medicine cat and Moor is that cat now. She'll try lay low for a little bit before she her leadership instincts kick in and she immerses herself in her new life.

Loyalty || StarClan above all else, RiverClan

Obviously all of the backstory stuff doesn't have to be set in stone. I'm very flexible. I just wanted to get the point across that Moor is originally from WindClan and something had to happen to get her to go to RiverClan.
