Sapling was born before the war, only to their father, for their mother died from the childbirth. They stayed with Lichen, even when Queen Vega ordered kits to fight, they stayed with their father, fighting. Eventually, a cavernvix attacked them, mangled Sapling's back legs beyond repair, and while Lichen was trying to protect his child, was killed by the cavernvix. Sapling blames themself for their father's death. They were eventually found bleeding out of the battle field, and was healed. Sapling's back legs had to be amputated and bandages wrapped around their waist where their legs should have been to prevent the wound from opening up again. "Its a wound that cannot mend, the scars are cut too deep. Could this be the end of my immaturity, In the start of a surrender to my fate?" ~~Not me bending their story a bit to fit the song~~
