Life Summary
Ripples was born to a kittypet (currently unknown) and was quickly taken away at birth. She had a rough kit-hood being locked up in cages from her "Bare-Skin" (human). She often felt mistreated and wanted to be free.

Ripples, at the age of ten moons, though not officially apprenticed, has escaped her "Bare-Skin" (human) and ran off. She traveled for two moons in an attempt to get as far away from her "Bare-Skin" (human) and into a nice place. She soon realized that she wanted to live in a lush place like the forest. So, far from her "Bare-Skin" (human), she settled in a forest.

Ripples, though not officially becoming a warrior, in her thirteen moons of being alone in the forest, she hunted well and got along with the other rogues in the area. A kittypet named Harry used to stroll by her nest and the two became good friends. Harry decided to leave his "Bare-Skins" (humans) to join Ripples in her lifestyle. The two fell in love and became mates.

Ripples had given birth to her kits, a she-cat named Shore Shells and a tom named Tyler. She taught them all about how to hunt. Though hard to discuss their names, Ripples and Harry came up with a kittypet name and a rogue name. Tyler was taken away when a "Bare-Skin Kit" (human child) picked him up and ran away.

Ripples had moved to "The Cave" when her daughter, Shore Shells, had found it. They explored it and moved in peacefully. Other cats had heard about what they had found. Sadly, Harry had been run over by a "Squash Paw" (car) while crossing the "Skunk Trail" (road). Soon after, Ripples fell ill of an unknown illness at the time (greencough).

Ripples died after fainting in front of her daughter while telling a story.
