actually
this made me think of a very fun au
Hopekit survives
she grows up alongside Brokenkit and is treated as harshly, supporting her brother and his ambitions, angry at how theyre treated..however she loves her father dearly and gets close with him.
Happy when Brokentail is made deputy, her joy is cut short when her dad is dead....
While intentionally happy for her brother, when she gets her first apprentice, a kit, she can't help but feel uneasy....and it just goes downhill from there.
After hes chased out she ends up in a depressive state, knowing she should have seen the monster he was...
When Nightstar is made leader shes hopeful of the future, only to have that ripped away and replaced with Tigerstar... Shes already wary but when he becomes just as much of a power hungry tyrant shes on the verge of a crisis...
It reaches a boiling point when Blackfoot is about to get his nine lives and she goes out shortly after he and the med cat leave....and does a sneak attack for lethal results.
She comes back to camp and would try to keep it a secret, however once Russetstar starts making threats or war she comes clean....
When she dies, either via being killed for being a traitor or dying as a rogue the last thing she sees is Blackfoot, watching her with cold eyes.
Likely the dark forest? maybe? I mean ashfur got in for loving too much, trying to defend your clan from a possible tyrant in a fit of paranoia doesnt seem that far fetched to get into starclan
