Sage was born in a litter of three, but only he and his brother survived past birth. His mother was a young, stray cat named Maya. It was her first kitting, and the kits came early and although Sage was mostly healthy, his sister died shortly after being born. His father is unknown. Sage and his brother Storm grew up in a neighborhood with plenty of people willing to leave food out for cats. When he was about 6 moons old, they moved closer to the forest. He watched as Maya became weaker and weaker due to cancer. Around a year after they were born (12 moons) Storm decided he wanted to leave, but Sage stayed to take care of his mother until she died 3 moons later. (Maya's pure white coat is due to a lack of melanocytes in her skin, a condition which makes cats more likely to develop skin cancer). Sage is now 21 moons and wanders around from place to place, from the neighborhood he grew up in, to closer to the clans. He's quite friendly but believes in independence and doesn't like to be tied to one place. (I hope his backstory is ok heheh... I researched a lot of stuff for this xD) sources: https://www.basepaws.com/blog/cat-coat-genetics/ https://petcentral.chewy.com/how-many-kittens-are-in-a-litter/ https://www.thesprucepets.com/your-kittens-first-year-552271
