This isn't well-written or professional. Just a backstory. Also, Cacernclan, Nettlestar, Sasha, Oakstripe, Blizzard, and Floodeye belong to OmegaWolf9 and Rave098.
Splashkit was born into a litter of three. She was a sleek calico kitten with bright, shining green eyes. Her sister, Nettlekit, was a small cream colored kit with the same spring-leaf eyes. Splashkit's brother, Thunderkit, was a tall white kit with deep golden eyes. The kits' mother, Fireflight, was smart and beautiful, but their father, Graydoom, was harsh and unfeeling. Starclan had given him a black heart, with little room for sympathy or mercy. The three were birthed in Leafbare, and shortly after their birth, Cavernclan was caught in the middle of a greencough epidemic. It somehow spread to the nursery, and Nettlekit, Splshkit's best friend at the time, was exposed. It wasn't long until she joined Starclan, leaving Splashkit, Thunderkit, and Fireflight devastated...
As older kits, Graydoom taught Thunderkit and Splashkit to fight. The lessons were intense, as well as often. "Keep up, kit!" He would bellow to Splashkit. "Weak cats are of no use to Cavernclan!" Their father was unforgiving, and payed little attention to the weaker clan cats. Unfortunately, Thunderkit was older and stronger then Splashkit, causing Graydoom to ignore and sometimes scratch her. But there was a day when everything changed. Thunderkit and Splashkit's apprentice ceremony. Splashpaw stood proudly in front of her parents, but was ignored. They had only eyes for Thunderpaw, the better kit. In a burst of furious rage, Splashkit leapt at Thunderpaw, tearing her claws across his muzzle. He cried out in surprise in pain, but Splashpaw ignored him. She stood there, breathing heavily, not realizing what she had done until her brother collapsed, now nothing more then a cold body...
As an older apprentice, Solashpaw was feared and ignored by most other apprentices. Except for one. Barkpaw, the charming and sarcastic black apprentice. The two made a mischievous yet admirable couple, but Splashpaw lost another close one on a fateful Summer day. Splashpaw and Barkpaw were exploring the cliffs at the edge of the territory, discussing kittypets. "They're disgusting, and spoiled. Pointless, mindless, fat cats." He meowed fiercely. Splashpaw replied, "They really are. I think all cats should be wild." She began to stumble slowly around, dangerously close to the edge of the cliffs. "Look, I'm a kittypet! Hahaha!" Barkpaw laughed then said, "We'll I'm gonna get you, spoiled kittypet!" He jumped at her knocking her back legs off the cliff. Barkpaw reared back in horror, obviously not meaning to do that. He frantically tried to pull her up, but only succeeded in knocking himself off, clinging to Splashpaw's back. In a desperate attempt to pull them both up, Splashpaw clawed at the edge. Poor Barkpaw couldn't hold on, and Splashpaw experienced another tradegy....
Splashfoot's warrior ceremony was not a happy occasion for any cat. With Bettlestar being a former kittypet, Splashfoot and the leader didn't get along. It was over quickly, and Splashfoot sunk into a life of training apprentices and defending tunnels...
Now you see what led to Splashfoot's turn to the rogues, why she hates kittypets, how Thunderpaw's face got scarred, and why she's so tense. -
(Ah, someone always calls Nettlestar Bettlestar. It's perfect, minus Beetlestar thing!)

Oops, did I do it again? Also, I named her sister Nettlekit to show how painful it was to be ruled by a former kittypet with her sister's name.)
-
(I understand why you did. Oh, and that wasn't the worst thing Nettlestar's been called. Omega, the 1st one, once called her Nettlebreezed!)
-
...O_o Funny, cuz her and Finchbreeze are like total opasites!)

(You don't have to remind me of my mistakes rave! )

Woah. I wrote this 33 days ago. It seems longer than that. :)
