History||
He and sister were the kits of their clan's medcat and a loner, but the loner left and the medcat asked another cat who had just lost her kits to claim them as hers so they wouldn't be shunned. They grew up thinking this cat was their mother. Originally, he was named Yewkit and his sister was Chicorykit.
They grew up thick as theives, always getting into trouble together, but as they started apprentice training, Yew realized his sister was a much better fighter than him and he was struggling to keep up. One day, she told him she was going to explore the twoleg place alone nad that he better come with her so she didn't hurt herself. He tried to convince her otherwise, but of course, he was curious too and didn't want her to go alone. They explored a few yards and met a kittypet who was sunbathing and was terrified of them. In another yard, they didn't notice the dog until too late and while Chicory managed to outrun it and leap up the fence, Yew couldn't make the same jump and was grabbed by the dog. He slashed it across the nose and it dropped him and he managed to wiggle under part of the fence before passing out. Chicory dragged him part of the way back to camp and they were found by one of their patrols.
Yew recovered slowly. His leader renamed him Jaggedpaw in reflection of his new scars. He had to relearn how to walk and does so with a bit of a limp. He could no longer train to be a warrior and honestly had no desire to, so he started learning medicine instead from the clan medcat(who's actually his dad/mom).
Chicory continues to train, driven to be better able to protect her brother and others. Tension rise with neighboring clans over food and borders, and she's part of a patrol that is attacked. It escalates to a larger battle and during the fight, their medcat is killed. Before they fade, they tell chicory that her "parents" are not her real parents, that one was a loner, and they are the other. She isn't sure how to take the news and briefly meets with Jagged to tell him everything they know is a lie before running off to find this loner and start her own life, free from the lies.
Jagged is heartbroken, and while he wants to follow her, knows he can't keep up and that he is needed in the clan after the battle. He morns the loss of his mentor, and likely parent. Once everyone in the clan has been seen too, he tells his leader of his intention to leave and find his sister. The leader denies him, but his "mother" takes him aside, confirms what Chicory told him, and asks him to make sure she is safe. She creates a distraction for him and he slips out of camp.
He follows his sister's trail but she has a few days head start and he eventually loses her in a mountian range. But he discovers Driftbreeze, who is searching for herbs since Light is busy tending to sick apprentices and kits. Jagged offers his help.
