Howl and Twistpaw (originally Whirl upon meeting) are an unconventional mashup, but it worked. Before she became a member of StoneClan, Twistpaw was a loner with a dream-- to have a family. The question was... with whom? She didn't know another soul who'd accept the offer, and love hadn't readily found its way to her doorstep, so who would be the other half in this story?
Thankfully for her, she met Howl and Night; two travelers in a hurry to get away from something. She aided in sheltering the battered, worn, and tired cats, and in return the three exchanged tales. While Twistpaw would not (and never would) find out what had sent them scurrying to her den, both cats eagerly showed their appreciation by providing her with kill, company, and eventually friendship.
It was still a surprise when Howl offered to assist her in her dream, especially when they seemed unfazed about what it'd mean. Night needed mild convincing from the stoic Howl, but he too would promise to aid the two of them and step in as a third parent. And so, three kittens were brought into the world, sheltered by the three adults who loved them dearly with each breath they took.
The only struggle the trio would have would be what to name the kittens. Howl and Night had named each other, replacing names they refused to repeat in efforts to erase a past they wouldn't utter. It would be Twistpaw who suggested each of them name a kit. Howl named one Sage, Twistpaw named another Juniper, and then Night stared at the third kit with a tight frown.
.... What was he going to name this child?
How To Play:
- Use the form in the third post to indicate what name you'd give the third child! Keep in mind standard shop rules.
- Entries will be judged at the end by Nym
Notes:
- While players might learn about Howl and Night's backstory through their eventual journals, the kittens will never find out. Please keep this in mind. Their story is purposefully left out of this contest.
- Howl, Night, and Twistpaw raise these kids platonically (although Howl and Night are in a slow-burn romance that'll eventually start kicking off once the kittens have long been adults)
- Twistpaw was named Whirl and joined StoneClan after the kittens become adults.
