back story; before sparrowsong and otterclaw, there was sparrowsong and falconwing. the two shared the nursery and grew close as apprentices. their intense training brought them even closer, and it came as little surprise when the two officially became mates. otterclaw was one of falconwing's closer friends, and the three were nearly always together until falconwing was bit by a poisonous snake while out on a boarder patrol. he was sick for days and finally passed away during the night. it was sad news for the clan, but devastating to sparrowsong and otterclaw who had lost their best friend. they found comfort in each other's presence and after moons of mourning their lost friend and wondering if they were wrong to love each other, they became mates. shortly after, sparrowsong became pregnant. pineclan was a bit surprised and some cats whispered about the small scandal, but they were happy to have new members.
kithood; sparrowsong gave birth to three lively kits- all little brown toms. the eldest was named quailkit for his spotted brown coat. the middle was named hawkkit for his dark brown pelt and white markings, and the youngest, the runt of the litter, was named cougarkit for his facial features that were similar to those of the wild cats. the three tom kits were pretty much healthy, though cougarkit was pretty slender and never could keep much weight on. they three had a rather normal upbringing. they played in the nursery, got in trouble, annoyed the elders, and dreamed about being awesome warriors and future leaders of their clan (which of course caused a bit of rivalry!). cougarkit began to develop a certain distaste for his brothers though. he was the runt and was smaller than them, which gave them the advantage when play fighting. he was pushed around and ganged up on, which also caused him to grow bitter toward other toms at such a young age.
apprenticeship; when the kits were six moons old, they became apprentices. cougarpaw was given to a tom named brambleback to train in the ways of a true warrior (because roseclan certainly isn't full of warriors!). brambleback was interesting to cougarpaw, and he soon found out that it was because his mentor is attracted to other toms. at first, this concerned cougarpaw because he hadn't been told of these kinds of things in the nursery. he turned this concern into hostility toward his mentor, but that failed miserably. brambleback was a seasoned warrior who made it clear that he didn't care for cougarpaw's attitude and wasn't at all phased by it. he also made it clear that if his apprentice continued to act like a spoiled, intolerant idiot, he would make his apprenticeship the worst moons of his past or future life. cougarpaw laughed this off, beginning to think he could get his way with his mentor by being a jerk, but that was not the case at all.
finally after a couple of moons, cougarpaw came around to the idea of having a homosexual mentor. brambleback was easily a respected cat despite his preferences and after several discussions about it, the younger tom decided it was a non-issue. he had a wonderful mentor who had a ton of things to teach him, and cougarpaw was ready and willing to learn.
