HISTORY
Fir was the first kitten to be born to Snowdrop and Sunset's Glow on Fallen Snow. A full blooded Patrian kit, both parents having traceable lines going back generations. He was immensely anticipated and loved with both of his parents hearts and souls. His kithood was glorious. He had all the food, all the space, all the toys he could ever want. His parents were attentive and affectionate, always showering their son with praise and gently correcting him when he was wrong. They raised him with manners and the rare ability to love himself.
Just as he was on the cusp of leaving kithood, his parents took in a parentless loner kit. This was common in Patria- they never turned away a kit in need. Snowdrop named him Raccoon and while it took time to get used to not being the only one, Fir immediately felt protective over the young tom. He had to be a big brother now after all! He helped his mother as much as he could in caring for the new little one and cleaning their nest. He wanted to give Raccoon just as good a kithood as he'd had.
When he reached the age at which to begin his training for citizenship, it was both of his parents who trained him. Patrian fathers, much like the mothers, are very attentive and often assist with their kits training if they themselves were born into the colony. Sunset and Snowdrop worked tirelessly to make sure that their son had the best education possible. Fir learned quickly and trained with great interest. While still young he met a Patrian molly named Lightning who was only a few months short of his age. She was beautiful, with soft fawn fur and challenging yellow eyes and the most darling whiskers. She was brash, bold, and ambitious. They had a rivalry going for many months before finally accepting one another's friendship.
While Fir was still in training but near the end, Snowdrop gave birth to a litter of two toms. His mother named the white kit Clover and his father named the pointed kit Vine Creeping up Cottage Wall, following his family's tradition. This time Fir was happy to see his family growing as soon as he heard that his mother was expecting. Raccoon was growing into a fine young tom with the guidance of Fir and their parents, no doubt these kits would as well.
Just days after the tomkits were born, Snowdrop and Sunset took in another abandoned kitten. She was barely older than the ones they already had and even looked a great deal like Snowdrop with her sparkling white fur and bright blue eyes. Snowdrop named her Sky and she fit into the family perfectly. A little sister! He'd never had a sister before, but Fir was excited. He loved Raccoon and Sky just as much as his birth siblings- they were blood family as far as he was concerned. Life just got better and better.
Graduating to citizen was one of the happiest days of Fir's life. He really felt like he'd earned it. The young tom had worked hard these past two seasons and had made a name for himself. His parents couldn't have been prouder, covering him with licks and nuzzles. Even Lightning congratulated him- begrudgingly as she wouldn't graduate for another few months. Oddly enough after his graduation Fir and Lightning grew even closer. They hunted together, ate together, talked about their hopes and dreams, and relied on one another. Or at least Fir grew to rely on Lightning.
Soon enough Fir realized that he had feelings for Lightning. She looked so beautiful at her graduation and he couldn't help but wonder what the future held.
The night that Fir planned on confessing to Lightning, she came at him with news that blew him out of the water. She was leaving Patria for Soror.
Sororian cats had so much more freedom than Patrian cats, she explained. They did more than just sit around an old house all day- they lived somewhere dangerous and exciting! There were even more toms! Fir was crestfallen. Wasn't he enough? He'd tried so hard to please her since her graduation. Hunting for her when she was tired, offering to go out with her when she went for walks alone, spending most of his waking moments that weren't with his family on her. But no, it wasn't enough. Not enough to change her mind or her fate. She left that night and Fir never told her how he felt.
About a season has passed since then. Fir has recovered for the most part, and now pays no attention to romantic pursuits. That event still stings him like a fresh wound. But he focuses all his energy on his family and providing for Patria now. He wants to move on and live out the future he knows he knows he deserves. He works hard, plays hard, and lives an honest life.
