How my life played out:

Goldenstar was given just with the name of Golden as she was born to loners. When she left her parents to start a life of her own she met Stripefur, tom belonging to a Pack of cats. Their love was forbidden and dangerous but they met whenever they could. Goldenstar soon had a litter of kits but only one survived. She named her daughter Mystery. Around that time dark hearted cats came to the forest. They wanted land and knew the Pack's territory was large. Because of them, Goldenstar had to keep Mystery a secret.
The gang of cats attacked the pack. Goldenstar could hear the noise from her den and ran to see what was going on, leaving Mystery as hidden and protected as she could. When she got to the scene she saw that her mate Stripefur was being held down by a much larger cat. As it was about to deal the death blow Goldenstar prepared to charge it. Stripefur saw her and demanded that she run. Goldenstar carried out his wish but as she ran away, some of the other gang cats caught sight of her. They chased her and because of this she was not able to return to Mystery. Without knowing what had happened to her daughter, Goldenstar fled the forest.
She came upon the four Clans then. Silentstar, then the NightClan leader, took her in. She was given the warrior name Goldenheart. One day Stripefur showed up. She was in shock, hadn't her mate died long ago? But no, he had managed to escape from the larger cat as Goldenstar had run away from the fighting. Stripefur was allowed to join the Clan. Goldenstar became deputy and then leader, which caused her name to be changed to Goldenstar.
When a band of cats attacked Goldenstar she was able to save the Clan by killing its leader. His followers ran away but Goldenstar was too severely injured to live much longer. She spoke with her deputy, Wolfsoul -- later Wolfstar, and another she-cat, Duskwhisper. To Duskwhisper she murmured only one word, "Mystery" before her spirit joined StarClan.
Duskwhisper had a dream that night in which she saw a small black she-cat. Somehow she knew that she was meant to go help her. She left the Clan to go on her mission. When she found Mystery, Goldenstar's daughter had just been discovered by the gang of cats. She was trying to fight them off but there were many of them. With Duskwhisper's help she was able to escape them. Mystery also joined NightClan and took on the name Mysterysong. She had three daughters, Rainpool, Leopardnose, and Dreamwhisper. Goldenstar knows that she will someday meet her daughter in StarClan.

My allegiance is: One of light
My family consists of: Lilly (grandmother), Fog (grandfather), Goldenstar (mother), Stripefur (father), Dreamwhisper (daughter), Leopardnose (daughter), Rainpool (daughter), Mintkit (granddaughter)

How my life played out:

Mysterysong was born just as Mystery. Her mother Goldenstar, then just Golden, and her father Stripefur had to keep her a secret when she was a kit. A gang of cats was prowling the forest at the time, trying to take over her father's Pack's territory. When they fought for it Goldenstar ran to see what was going on, leaving Mysterysong as protected as she could.
Mysterysong never saw her mother again. She did not know that Goldenstar had been chased out of the forest, just that she did not come back. Mysterysong guessed that she had been killed. She was old enough to eat solid food but had only just begun learning how to hunt. She worked on it by herself until she knew how. The gang had taken over the entire forest by the time she was a year old, but they still had not found her and she did not know how to escape.
The cats eventually came across the small she-cat. As they drew closer to her to attack a stranger leaped in and helped Mysterysong fight them off. The stranger, Duskwhisper, explained that she came from NightClan and knew she was meant to bring Mysterysong back to NightClan. Goldenstar had been the leader of the Clan and had just died. Mysterysong and Duskwhisper became close friends on the journey home. When Duskwhisper died Mysterysong was crushed, but her mate, Blazewing, helped her get through it. She and Blazewing had three kits, Dreamwhisper, Leopardnose, and Rainpool.

How my life played out:

Dreamwhisper was born to Mysterysong and Blazewing of NightClan along with her sisters Rainkit (Rainpool) and Leopardkit (Leopardnose). She grew up outspoken and curious. Ever since she was a kit she knew that she one day wanted to be a warrior and fight for NightClan. She trained hard and her dream came true. Her warrior name was Dreamwhisper. She's never thought much about love and having a family; her goal is to be the best warrior she can.

How my life played out:

Rainpool has always been a quiet, reserved, sweet cat, much like her mother Mysterysong and grandmother Goldenstar. To her, her future never seemed set. She's wondered about being a medicine cat, but in the end she found that training as a warrior was the better choice for her. Rainpool, like her sister, had not thought much about love. Now her feelings for one of her best friends are starting to change. Duststripe means even more to her now. In the future they will become mates and have one kit, Mintkit.
