Story;
Moon was born alongside her brother, Snow, to the rogue cat Minnow and ex-kittypet Austin. In an effort to escape the twolegs seeking out their missing kittypet, Minnow and Austin took their kits and fled into the mountains, dodging the forest under fire by a few moons.
Moon and Snow were raised on the road, learning to survive in different ways from each of their parents; Minnow taught them how to hunt, track, identify poisons and find water. Austin taught them how to use words and looks as a sharper weapon than their claws or teeth (though he taught them how useful those could be as well), and the value of kindness and compassion in a cruel world. Snow and Moon grew up with these ideals and became well-rounded, caring cats by the time they finally neared the edge of the mountain range. Moon devoted herself entirely to her family, doing all she could to help them survive and caring more about them than herself.
It was here that disaster struck. A thunderstorm’s roaring triggered an avalanche along a rocky cliff, effectively dispatching Austin and mortally wounding Minnow. Snow and Moon, for the most part unharmed, mourned their father and did everything they could to escort their mother safely into the valley. Desperate and with Minnow succumbing to blood loss and infection, Moon sought out help from the Claws of the Rising Sun, pleading to Blaze for help. By the she-cat’s grace, permission to stay was granted, and Moon worked her tail off learning medicine over the course of a moon while Minnow fought for her life. Snow made himself of use to the Tribe during this time, helping in climbing and hunting at random when he was needing and making sure his sister and mother were fed first.
Minnow eventually succumbed to her wounds and died, leaving Moon and Snow in brokenhearted sorrow, their only solace being that Minnow and Austin enjoyed the afterlife together.
Moon and Snow stayed together within the Tribe for another two moons to pay off their debt and show gratitude for the kindness they’d received. They were in shock when Blaze offered them permanent spots among the Tribe, and Moon accepted in a heartbeat, longing for a family to devote herself to like she had done all her life. Snow, however, declined the offer, claiming that the Tribe was not his place and parting ways with his sister. While saddened by his leaving, Moon steeled herself and devoted her life to the Tribe. In accordance to tradition, she adopted the name Moon that Glows at Night - more a tribute to how the Tribe was her beacon in the darkness, and will to live, than anything about herself.
