Ebonykit was born alongside Lichenkit and Wisteriakit to the warriors Nemisiawhisper and Bulrush___. Their father, Bulrush___ was quite the flirt, and had moved on by then. He wasn't ready for the responsibility of being a father, and barely ever registered that Nemesiawhisper's kits were also his own. She, on the other hand, truly loved Bulrush___, and was quite heartbroken over the fact that he didn't feel the same way anymore. Because of this, she was so melancholy, she couldn't find time to care for her newborn kits. Instead, Ebonykit and his littermates were nursed by another queen, Perennialhaze. She was kind to them, but the kits knew that she wasn't their real mother. At the same time, Lichenkit had been born sickly, and due to their mother's ignorance, by the time they found out, the medicine cat said it would be too late. The little black tom would never be able to walk properly for the rest of his life. Soon, the three littermates were apprenticed. Wisteriapaw was given to their father, Bulrush___, though kin didn't usually mentor kin. This was when the sturdy black tom actually started taking an interest in them. He was quite a reckless warrior, and taught Wisteriapaw and Ebonypaw to follow in his footsteps, teaching them to do dangerous stuff like attack Twolegs, and taunt dogs. Ebonypaw's wiser mentor, Fawnwhisker, knew better, and taught him to steer clear of the inconsistent figure in their lives, but there was no telling Wisteriapaw what she had gotten herself into. Meanwhile, Lichenpaw, their littermate, was dismissed as "too weak," and "designed to fail," by their father. He had been apprenticed to Rosedawn, a sweet senior warrior who was always patient, though the medicine cat still wasn't sure he would make it through his apprenticeship. Each day until warriorhood Wisteriapaw became more and more imprudent, and Ebonypaw knew it wasn't his responsibility to worry, but he still did. In due time, the three became warriors. For obvious reasons, Lichenpaw was named Lichenflail. Less apparent, at least to Ebonypaw, was why he himself was called Ebonytrailer. And Wisteriapaw became Wisteria___. At this time, Nemesiawhisper was still grief-stricken. She often refused to eat, making her sickly. So when a bout of greencough took over the camp, both she and Lichenflail were hit hard, and died. This hit Ebonytrailer like a blow. Sure, his mother hadn't been present in his life much, but he never got a chance to truly know her! And Lichenflail...how he would miss him. His brother had always supported him...and now he was alone. Wisteria___ had gotten more and more independant, and it was not like he could turn to his father. So...he was on his own. Eventually, Ebonytrailer learned to cover up his grief with humor. But would he ever truly recover? Could anyone ever make him happy again?
This was written by me! His bio description got too long, so I included this in a separate project :D
