► ... the cat you talked with was Nightglow, a torbie she-cat

► ... Dovestar was originally a kittypet, and joined the clan with her brother

► ... Goldenleaf was Nightglow's younger half-brother (different fathers, were raised together)

► ... Yes, Nightglow's gae

► ... Dovestar actually survived the initial strike from Goldenleaf, and collapsed later from complete exhaustion and blood loss. that's why she was able to snap his neck.

► ... The Clan did notice Dovestar leaving with Nightglow, and they were planning to rebel when she came back. when she did, a medic was sent to find Nightglow, as they assumed the worst had happened with Nightglow. they were correct.

► ... Nightglow retired early, suffering both physical, emotional, and mental trauma

► ... Here's a surprise, Goldenleaf's a medicine cat. He and Nightglow would battle practice with each other; he was fine up against Dovestar

► ... Dovestar was inspired by Arthur Harrow from Moon Knight

► ... Dovestar did truly love Nightglow, she's just really really really mentally troubled

► ... this took 2 hours to write. one hour and a half was spent figuring out what to write.
