She often seeks out those who sit alone to share a meal with them or just to talk.
Easygoing
She's very go-with-the-flow and doesn't stress very often.
She enjoys the smaller things in life and stops to smell the flowers...probably more than she should.
Protective
She's very much a mama-bear when it comes to those she loves. She is a bit over worried about safety, but it's all well-intended.
She is a fierce warrior and when she needs to use her claws to protect someone, she will.
Adventurous
She enjoys exploring and finding new things! One of her favorites is secret places.
She also enjoys it just for the journey itself...or the story that will result.
Humorous
She's quite the jokester and prankstress, but it never goes beyond a fun carefree level.
She's very careful to only say or do things that others are comfortable with, and if she scares or hurts someone, she apologizes profusely and makes it up to them.

"Maybe" Birchpaw nodded, "They seem like good Kits from what I've seen, playful and nice, but not too loud either," the one thing he couldn't stand was obnoxious Kits, "Springpaw seems to be pretty fond of Berrykit, I think he gets on quite well with Kits because he never really stopped being one himself," he puffed out his cheeks then sighed.
Nodding, Birchpaw had to admit his dad had been pretty good, he'd visited a lot, and even if he did sometime forget what their mother's favorite prey was, it was better than some fathers that had never really come to see their Kits.
"I wouldn't want Kits if it wasn't with the right she-cat though" Birchpaw told her, "The idea that you want Kits so you find a mate never really appealed to me, I think it's more find a mate then decide together if you want Kits and when."

"Nothing wrong with still acting a bit kittish, I think. You only get to be a kit once--so there's no shame in prolonging it into your apprenticeship I think." the somali she-cat was a bit naive herself, though she tried not to be. She realized that Birchpaw always seemed to be angry at Springpaw--she wondered why the two never seemed to get along.
Nodding along with Birchpaw's answer, she smiled. "That's a really nice way to put it. I think I'd like that too--even if I never have kits. I'd be okay with that, if I got to spend my time with a cat I...really liked," she trailed off, growing quieter. Like you, she wanted to say, but held her tongue.

Birchpaw hummed a little, it always sounded right when Kestrelflight said it, even if he never thought it was right when he saw Springpaw and Vixenpaw charging around Camp together, but perhaps he didn't understand, he'd never been the most excitable of Kits.
"I didn't really know you as a Kit," they had met just before Kestrelflight had become an Apprentice, "what were you like, and how did you spend your time?" He couldn't remember having seen her around the Nursery very often, or perhaps he just hadn't been looking for her then.

"Hm, I was a lot more enthusiastic, that's for sure--" she began, and stopped. Before Birchpaw could even say anything, she backtracked, "I know that's hard to believe, because I'm still pretty much that way...but it was like, way more. And adventurous! Oh, Birchpaw, if you'd had seen the stuff me and Saplingheart had gotten into back then--poor Barleyleap had her paws full chasing us around and managing to keep us in camp. Mossfire was a little less excited to explore, but sometimes she came along anyway...I think that put my mother into even more distress, because Mossfire is just so, so...fragile."
She purred, reliving the old memories. Birchpaw had always reminded her of her twin sister, Mossfire--very calm, very strategic, cautious even. Maybe that's what she liked about him.

Birchpaw laughed, he could easily imagine Kestrelflight as a Kit causing her mother all sorts of worry, "Your mother accomplished quite an impressive feat bringing up you three by herself," he'd never spoken with Saplingheart, he just knew that he was Kestrelflight and Mossfire's only brother, or was he their brother, he'd heard somewhere when he was much younger that Barleyleap had just taken him in - he looked so much like her though.
"Do you think Mossfire will be okay, while she's having Kits I mean?" His amber eyes clouded with worry, knowing that the two sisters were quite close, Kestrelflight would be devastated if anything happened to her.

"She has to be!" Kestrelflight nodded, fully confident her sister would have no trouble. "I won't forgive her if she's not. 'Sides, I mean, other than what happened with my brother Harekit, Mossy and me were clean births I think." she tried to remember how Breezemoon had told her the story, that Harekit was born without breath but the twins were as lively as ever.
She looked up at the sky as the clouds moved lazily on. "I wonder what her kits will be like."

Birchpaw smiled, a purr rumbling in his throat, touching Kestrelflight's paw with his own for a few moments, he met her eyes, "You're strong, I don't have any doubt that your sister is too, you are twins after all."
He removed his paw from hers before it became awkward and flicked his tail thoughtfully, he supposed they'd look a bit like a combination of Mossfire and Scorpionfang. He didn't know the older tom very well, but he'd seen him with Kestrelflight's sister quite a lot, and bumped into him once when he'd been on his way to visit Kestrelflight's nest when they were Kits.

Kestrelflight purred at his touch, and continued even after he moved away. "You're right, Birchpaw." she smiled, "She's very strong. I'm certain she'll be absolutely fine."

Kestrelflight padded up to Birchpaw. His ceremony had been completed just moments ago, and Fallenstar had dismissed them as he started organizing some patrols for the day. The somali she-cat shuffled somewhat awkwardly before the biggest grin plastered on her face.
"I hope you don't mind, but I already have your nest made up for you."

Puffing out his chest proudly as his Clanmates congratulated them, Birchcloud tried to get used to his new name in his head, 'Birchcloud, Birchcloud' it sounded so different and yet he felt it suited him at the same time.
Spotting Kestrelfeather making her way towards him through the crowd, he pushed his way forward to meet her with a wide smile on his face, almost matching the size of the grin on her own face. They were both Warriors together now, they were equals, and he'd promised himself that he'd tell her how he felt when that happened.
He purred happily in response to her telling him about the nest, "It'll be like old time again" he told her, driven by the excitement of the moment to bump his head gently against hers.

Leapfern didn't want to stay in a stuffed den while getting her wounds treated by the medicine cat, it wasn't comfortable at all. The silvery she-cat limped her way towards a shady spot in the camp, hoping to relax there; it had been a few days since the war had ended and it had caused a few to die or be severely injured, she was among those cats. Leapfern managed to lay down without hurting herself too much, letting out a shaky breath in the process and closed her eyes, hoping to take a peaceful nap but she couldn't because she still heard the screams of those cats and the claws clashing together, it was the worst day of her life and she knew that there were others who'd agree with her as well. She opened her eyes and blinked, she saw blood in front of her and squealed in surprise as she quickly jumped up and stood there for what felt like days, it was just her imagination. "Just settle down..." She told no one in particular, shakily sitting down and wrapping her tail around her paws. "It's just your imagination."

"Sorry? Were you talking to me?"
Kestrelflight flicked her tail as Leapfern had suddenly sprung up from what seemed like a rather unrestful nap. She'd said something Kestrelflight didn't really catch; the somali she-cat tilted her head curiously. "Are you okay, Leapfern? You don't look well. Do you need me to help you to the Medicine Cat Den?"

Leapfern shook her head, obviously not wanting to go back in there. "No thank you," She managed to say in a strained voice, she cleared her throat. "Uh," She felt embarrassed for some odd reason; she hoped that she didn't come off as a mouse-brain towards the somali. "Just a bit shaken from the war, you know?" The silvery warrior let out a sigh, disappointment flashing over her features for a few moments, quickly expiring into a face of kindness, reassuring the young warrior in front of her. "But thanks for being kind, I appreciate it." Leapfern wondered if she would stay around long enough to have a conversation with her, she hoped so. "How are you doing?"

Kestrelflight flattened her ears. "I understand," she mewed. The war had taken it's toll on most of the MoonClan warriors, herself included, despite her rather optimistic attitude. "I'm...doing alright. It's just so...weird. Like, I can't get used to the silence again, you know what I mean?" Even though she'd grown up her whole life with mostly the silence that filled MoonClan's territory, Kestrelflight felt as if it was too quiet, like an ambush was near, and that made her on-edge.

Leapfern let out a sigh, tilting her head slightly and shrugged her shoulders. "I've gotten used to the battle cries since last time and now it returned to haunt me; however, I'm pretty sure everybody is getting used to hearing the silence again." She explained, squinting her eyes like she was getting used to the sunlight streaming through the treetops that towered over their camp. "In other words, yes. I know what you mean, besides I'm not deaf, am I?" She tried to lightened up to conversation by including some silly question.

Kestrelflight smiled as Leapfern tried to lighten the mood. "I would hope not. You wouldn't be very good at hunting if you were," she responded with the same lightness in her voice. "Yeah--I'm sure I'll get used to it soon enough. Anyway, uh, what have you been up to? Have you met Frogsplash's new kits yet?" the somali knew that Leapfern and Frogsplash were close friends.

Leapfern laughed, happy that the saddening subject had been changed. "I'd probably bring back twigs that'd be mistaken for prey!" The she-cat purred, already liking the somali's presence. "Uh, no. I haven't but I will! They sound like wonderful kits!" She felt bad for not meeting any of her friend's kits but she promised that she would stop by and visit the nursery once in awhile to meet the new litter. "I've also been training Milkpaw lately, she's such a pawful but I'm glad to have her as my apprentice." She grinned.

"Oh, I haven't really met her yet," Kestrelflight thought, as if trying to decide if she had in fact met the young gray she-cat or not. "Come to think of it, I haven't met any of Frecklewish's litter. I know of them though...Marigoldflame has been complaining that Cottonpaw would rather sleep than train." she purred slightly at the memory of the orange and white she-cat flopping in her nest and complaining about an apprentice that didn't take her training seriously.
"You're so lucky Leapfern. I want an apprentice. I think I'd be such a good mentor!"

Leapfern chuckled but felt a twinge of sadness inside of her as she remembered the speckled she-cat who passed away from kitting; it was truly devastating but she didn't show it. "Cottonpaw's sounds like an interesting character!" The silvery she-cat mewed, amusement twinkling in her golden orbs. "Are you kidding? You'd be a great mentor!" Leapfern smiled reassuringly.

"Just by saying that; she does sound cute." She has met many of the kits in Moonclan yet because she usually is too busy for that or just doesn't have time to play around with kits but she has met a couple of them. "You better convince him before he decides someone else to mentor Redkit." Leapfern teased but she knew that Kestrelflight would love to have the she-kit as her apprentice so she hoped that her comment didn't make her upset. "But I have hope that you could- could- get her as your apprentice."

((Sure~))
Tail twitching, Springpaw glanced around the Apprentice Den. Lostpaw had lied to him and Blossompaw wasn't making any sense, so his only choice was to ask the other she-cat Apprentices in Camp and see if they would be any more helpful.
This wasn't exactly the easiest task in the world for him, he wasn't used to talking to girls, and those he did often talk to were rude to him, but he had to try and report his findings back to Mothpaw.
Dizzypaw and Bumbledpaw had told him this ridiculous story, and it was a story in all honesty that he thought perhaps Kestrelpaw might be able to solve for him, considering Birchpaw just rolled his eyes at him every time he approached as politely as he could and demanded that he tell him exactly what these 'Cooties' were and why only he seemed to mind catching them?

Kestrelpaw was busy plucking a pigeon of it's feathers, the same pigeon she'd caught on her patrol with Hazefire and the others. She'd been so excited when her mentor had told her she'd earned the right to eat the prey she'd caught, so she wanted to make sure it was perfect. Unfortunately, preening the birds of their feathers never proved easy, and she was covered in the tiny down feathers, some of them getting stuck in her fur.
She looked up half-interested as some of the other apprentices tumbled about in the den; Mosspaw and Scorpionfang were talking to each other just outside the entrance, Sootpaw and Leopardpaw were arguing in the corner, and Springpaw was looking around. The somali went back to her business.

Suddenly spotting Kestrelpaw, Springpaw snuck his way over to her, making sure that Birchpaw wasn't anywhere in sight, he spotted Leopardpaw, one of Lostpaw and Birchpaw's sisters, but he'd never seen her talking with them, so it was unlikely it would get back down the line.
"Umm... excuse me... miss?" He wasn't sure how else to address one of the senior Apprentices, and usually he wouldn't have approached one, "I... have a question?"
She seemed like a nice she-cat, at least as far as she-cats went, "Well, I'm on a mission from Mothpaw to discover the cause of these... well... 'Cooties'..." He felt a little embarrassed saying it, now he was starting to doubt it was actually a thing, "...and, I heard from Bumblepaw you may have some insight on how the whole thing works?"

"Sure, Springpaw," Kestrelpaw purred, calling the tom by name. Though she didn't really know the cat, she'd seen him around, and had talked about him with Birchpaw.
"Ah yes, Birchpaw warned me about that..." the somali laughed. "I do in fact have some insight. I talked to my sister Mosspaw about it, in fact, just before you came over."

"Really?" Springpaw looked up hopefully, then dropped his gaze quickly remembering to be respectful, "well... Mothpaw did tell me about it... I know it's not really Cooties... but you know what it is... and I was wondering... how do you cope with it?"
He was pretty sure Kestrelpaw would know, and because she was older she probably wouldn't be as silly about it as Dizzypaw and Blossompaw were, who treated the very mention of 'feelings' as something covered in fluffy kitten fluff in need of a goodnight lullaby.

Kestrelpaw got in really close to Springpaw's face, like, uncomfortably close. "I've had cooties for five seasons," she lied, her voice deep and trying to be menacing. "You don't cope with it; it eats you alive. I don't have a stomach anymore, or claws, because of cooties. I can't catch or eat prey or even breathe," she was just joking around, but she was trying her hardest to remain super serious.

Springpaw leaped back with shock, heart pounding as she suddenly got in close, was that really what happened? If you let the 'feelings' fester it ate you alive and essentially made you as weak and useless as an Elder. Was that how Elders became Elders, they just had put up with it for so long that it was killing them.
Despite trying to seem brave, he let out a yelp, dropping to the ground and covering his head with his front paws, "S-Seriously?"
