Paws of Stars Book 1 : Rising Tides
RioBlitzle for Hazeltail
Hazeltail is a level-headed warrior and a good friend of Hollyleaf's, along with Cinderheart and Icecloud. She will grow up from a child to a full adult over the course of the series. She becomes much more guarded over time to cats who she isn't already close to due to some breaches of trust, and as much as she tries to act hardened or emotionless, her true hurt shines through as easily as her love does.
(Confused, Mildly Worried) "Oh, we marked it. But the whole time, those three were chattering like starlings. It was...unnerving, to say the least."
(Worried, Uniquely Vulnerable) "I am meant to be the teacher now. If I still need help, perhaps it would reflect badly on Dustpelt's training of me, which is the last thing I would want."
(Dark, Guarded, Protective) "Whatever you're going through, I am sorry. But she's hurting a lot just watching you. Do whatever you need to: talk to someone, get some rest, go out for a run under the stars, but get better. Cats get hurt when you try to deal with things alone."
