Rowanrose

Story
Born to Sandrose and Flamestar's fourth litter of kits, Rowankit was the third kit born, and was easily her mother's favourite for her compassion and kindness towards her kin. Her younger brother, Robinkit, was born the runt, much weaker than his littermates, and passed to StarClan sunrises after birth. While she was not aware of it, Rowankit was confused over why there were only three kits, and seemed to have some measure of understanding that there were four kits born.

As an apprentice, Rowanpaw found her paws carrying her to the nursing queens frequently, and was there when Amberfire was born. She wondered what it would be like to care for kits of her own, and helped out with Amberkit when Scorchsong wanted to hunt for herself and the Clan. Her mentor scolded her frequently, but Rowanpaw paid little attention to the scoldings, as she had found her true calling.

Named Rowanrose for her friendly, loving nature, much like her mother, the warrior began to spend yet more time with the kits of the Clan, and cared for them when the queens needed a break or simply wanted to return to their warrior duties early. While unorthodox, Flamestar allowed it, knowing that Rowanrose would take good care of the kits and it gave RiverClan more protection from cats who were actually interested and better at defending the Clan.

She later had her own kits, moons after Flamestar had passed away, which she treated the same as all the kits she had cared for over the moons. For the rest of her life, she remained a queen, and curled up night after night with the RiverClan kits, watching them grow and develop into fine warriors.

At the age of 127 moons, she has decided to retire to the elders' den and leave the kits to the younger queens who can hear their cries better, and can ultimately suckle them more. Her decision was reluctant, but after watching much of her kin pass into StarClan's path, she feels that it is better to retire than to die a queen.
