╭┈┈┈ + ̊⊹♡ 𓆩 Twigbranch 𓆪 ╮

❝ Home isn't always where you're born... sometimes it's where your heart decides to stay. ❞

For moons, Twigbranch searched for where she truly belonged. ThunderClan raised her, but SkyClan was her blood.

In the end... she discovered that family isn't measured by ancestry alone.

╭┈┈┈ + ̊⊹♡ 𓆩 LORE DROP 𓆪 ╮

• Born Twigkit alongside her sister, Violetshine.

• Separated from her family during SkyClan's disappearance.

• Raised primarily in ThunderClan.

• Spent much of her apprenticehood searching for her true family and where she belonged.

• Reunited with Hawkwing and her SkyClan relatives.

• Ultimately chose to remain a ThunderClan warrior, realizing that belonging comes from love, not only blood.

• Still maintains close ties with SkyClan and visits whenever she can.

• During this AU, she's quietly questioning that decision again, wondering if she'd be happier living beside the family she spent so long searching for.
