Appearance[]
Dapplefire is a tortoiseshell she-cat with a white chest, paws, and tail tip. Her eyes are yellow and she is average height.
Personality[]
Dapplefire is feisty and determined to do what she thinks is right. She isn't scared to use violence to solve her problems. She also loves to start drama and will play devil's advocate just to make an argument last longer.
Detestation[]
Dapplefire was born to Lightningbee and Redflight alongside her brother Pepperflight at the very end of the comic. Dapplekit was closest to Lightningbee out of all of her family. Dapplekit preferred to play with the other she-kits instead of her brother.
Pre-Rotting Flower[]
Dapplepaw was mentored by Petalbreeze. This caused Dapplepaw to act more gossipy and mean, and Dapplepaw already loved to gossip. When she was still an apprentice her mother Redflight died and Pepperpaw was named after her. Dapplepaw asked Spiderstar if her warrior name could be Dapplefire because it sounded cool and he said yes because it was one less warrior name he'd have to think about.
Dapplefire helped Lightningbee through the grief of losing Redflight. Her, Lightningbee and Pepperflight all made sure to spend more time together so they have good feelings to remember. Dapplefire regrets not spending much time with Redflight after she was apprenticed.
When Dapplefire was around two years old, a drought began. That drought spiraled into a famine, and many cats starved. During the famine Sandyheart's two brothers were part of the first cats to go. She helped him get through this tough time and they became mates. They had their first litter Scorpionkit, Brindlekit and Barkkit when she was around two and a quarter years old.
Her brother Pepperflight also had kits a couple weeks after her. Pepperflight's son Glowkit went missing and then his mate Kestrel died shortly after that when his kits were a couple moons old. Dapplefire raised his remaining kits, Cherrykit and Stonekit, with her own. The five kits made it to apprenticehood but then Stonepaw died when he was eight moons old. Dapplefire was devastated by this and shortly after her daughter Brindlepaw also died.
Scorpiontail, Barktuft and Cherrythorn became warriors and Dapplefire was very proud of them. Lightningbee survived long enough to see her grandchildren become warriors. Sadly though, she didn't have much stamina left. She was getting old, and the famine was still not getting better after an entire year. Dapplefire and her family spent the next few days only hanging out with Lightningbee and she died peacefully (well... the starvation process was not very peaceful) in her sleep. Soon, Barktuft died a few days later, and Dapplefire and Sandyheart were only left with Cherrythorn and Scorpiontail.
Pepperflight and Scorpiontail died a couple moons before the comic. Dapplefire grieves their deaths heavily.
Dapplefire is an average warrior of average height (AppleClan's weird) so she's never had an apprentice.
Rotting Flower[]
By the time Rotting Flower starts only Cherrythorn is alive out of all her children. Dapplefire is very protective of Cherrythorn. Dapplefire is feisty, determined to do what she thinks is right, and isn't scared to use violence to solve her problems. Sandyheart is more level-headed and chill so he balances out her energy. Since the death of Scorpiontail, she has considered having more kits with her mate.
A moon later, Dapplefire and Sandyheart decide to have more kits after all. While Dapplefire is still pregnant, greencough runs through the clan and Sandyheart is one of the three affected. Lightwave assures Dapplefire that he should be fine because he got the most catmint since he is the tallest one. However, the greencough worsens and Sandyheart dies. Dapplefire is grief-stricken at this loss. A couple weeks later her kits are born, and they are named Spicekit and Pebblekit. Dapplefire is sad that neither one of them looked like Sandyheart.
She is going to be a minor character but she'll have a few moments. Her backstory is most likely not going to be said since she isn't that important.
