The Past
Cricketpaw had a normal ChasmClan kithood- or he would have, if it weren’t for his lack of siblings and relatively small family circle. Having lost one of his parents to an accident he was young and being left with very few still-living other relatives, he has gone through most of his young life feeling terribly lonely. At times it was almost like he was an outcast in his own clan, watching as his peers enjoyed the company of all their loving sisters or fathers or cousins while he had next to no one.
Rather than allowing himself to remain ostracized, however, Cricketpaw sought out a way to fully reaffirm his place within his clan. As he neared apprenticeship age, he figured that if he can’t yet have a family by blood, then he would just build a family by friends; if he makes himself as likable as possible, is as friendly as possible, and as good of a warrior as possible, then surely he can make the biggest “family” yet known to ChasmClan.
