Brackenflower

Appearance
a very dark grey (nearly black) she-cat with one yellow and one green eye. She has three ginger spots on her tail and face, ginger ears, and ginger stripes on her back. There is a massive scar on her back and she has a limp.

Kit
Brackenkit is first mentioned as the only she-kit of Rubblestep’s litter, and excitedly wanting to meet Rainkit and Leopardkit. A few sunrises later, it’s implied that Brackenkit has already been teasing Rainkit for being a mistake. The tortoiseshell later bounds over to Rainkit, knocking her over her paws, asking the fellow kit if she wants to play.

Rainkit refuses the offer, and Brackenkit scowls, calling her lazy. Galekit lashes out a paw at Rainkit, which Brackenkit smiles at her brother for doing so. The she-kit challenges Brackenkit to a fight, which she gleefully accepts. She is mentioned by name, at night, when Rainkit panics about having to fight Brackenkit. On the day of the battle, Brackenkit knocks Rainkit right off her paws, in return, Rainkit twists around and shoved Brackenkit’s shoulder, causing her to lose her grip. Angered, Brackenkit snarls in response, holding her paws firmly down on Rainkit’s chest. Just as she’s about to be proclaimed as the winner, Rainkit shoves Brackenkit as hard as she can, making her stumble in the dirt in shock.

It is then that Mistflower finds the two fighting, and punishes Brackenkit, remarking that kits like her are always up to trouble. She’s also scolded by her mother later on. Brackenkit is mentioned by name when Rainkit lists off the cats who have been teasing her and works out that Brackenkit can’t hurt her as much if she teams up with Duststar.

Trivia

 * She is the oldest out of all her littermates.
 * Brackenflower doesn’t actually know why Rainpaw and Leopardpaw get called a mistake, but she goes along with it anyway.
 * She met Spotwing in StarClan who told her to feel remorseful for her actions, which she does, however, her original attitude towards Rainclaw returns soon afterwards.
 * She is the only one of her littermates who is not named after her father
 * Brackenflower did not know that her mother, Rubblestep had a brother, Cherrypaw.
 * Brackenflower being previously mentored by Darkwing, and Rainpaw being mentored by Darkwing could be a metaphor of how Darkwing and Mistflower have become more distant over the years, with Brackenflower and Rainpaw being enemies.
