What was Grandeurphantom? Sorastar's child. One of the strongest warriors of Urchinclan. A sister. A mother. An aunt. A friend. An enemy. A lover. She was all of these things, and yet there was one thing she wasn't. Worthy of the Dark Forest's approval. The cats she had always worked to, the place she aspired to be part of when it was her time to go. Her whole clan was built off of the Place Of No Stars, taught their rangers about the Forest to make sure they would get in as well. She had done everything for them. Every choice she chose, every piece of prey she caught, every day she lives for them. But they had denied her leadership. They were so vague about it as well. Just turned her away. Said they had someone else who would fit Urchinclan better than she would have ever. Who could be as great as her? As powerful, as commanding as her? Who would the Dark Forest fancy more? Was she not good enough? She was never good enough. Never. Always being compared to someone, always being criticized. Always failing to keep promises. She promised Sorastar that she would make Urchinclan the greatest it had ever been. She promised Vultureslaughter that she would pick him as her deputy. She promised Tortrixblight that she would become leader one day. Three promises broken. Three promises too many. She had a taste for leadership -had announced a ceremony, for the Forest's sake! Yet it was never enough. It was never enough. She was never enough. She was a failure. A failure to her family. Failure to her friends. Failure to her kits. Failure to her mates. Failure. Failure. Failure. That's all she was. Just. A. FAILURE.
This is canonically before Grand knows Squirrelfury is becoming Squirrelstar!!
