Moonlight/History

Thunder and Shadow

 * In the bonus scene, she is mentioned by Tree to have nursed him and his sister when they were kits. Needlepaw asks if she named him. Tree says she might have, but if she did, he had forgotten it, deciding to rename himself Tree because he likes Trees. Needlepaw asks what happened to his mother and Tree explains how his mother brought an injured but live mouse to their den and instructed her son to kill it. When he did, she declared he is grown up now. The next morning, she and her daughter were gone. Needlepaw is shocked she left her son and asks why. Tree guesses she believed he would be fine. Needlepaw is still confused, pointing out she took her daughter but not him.


 * Tree explains his sister was always sick, so guessed his mother took her somewhere where she would be safe. He speculates she took her to find a home where she could be a kittypet, as Twolegs sometimes helped sick kits. Needlepaw asks why she didn't take Tree too and the loner assumed she didn't want her son to become a kittypet as she always stated Twolegs are unpredictable, sometimes they care for kits, sometimes they kill them. She might have decided to take the risk with her sick—and likely dying—daughter. Needlepaw asks what happened to the den his mother made and he explains a bigger tom drove him away. Tree takes Needlepaw home and Needlepaw tries to explain if he tells Rowanstar about his mother and sister and everything he faced after she left, he would let him join. Tree refuses, however.

Darkest Night

 * She is mentioned briefly by Tree, who explains that she raised him until he was old enough to hunt.
