Sweetkit was born after her father died in a battle, leaving her mother. Her mother had come down with an illness, before she died, she told Sweetkit to be the strongest she can be. Sweetkit took her message to heart, and went on to her apprentice ceremony. Sweet doesn't find death sad, but she does feel sympathy for those who have to deal with it.
*screech* I found the picture on google, and yes, she is the size of a kit, but she'll be apprentice size when she's a warrior.
