Correct Answer: Jaykit

~~~
I was a kit born when a legend died.
At once the leaf saw that I resembled the legend.
Quickly I grew, falling off a tree at apprenticehood, injured my leg.
I healed, unlike many cats before me.
When I grew fully, I discovered that I AM the old legend.
Yet, I know I choose my destiny- and I choose the blazing lion.

Good luck!
