Paws of Stars Book 1 : Rising Tides
Erin K. for Daisy
Daisy is a sweet former barn cat and one of two nursery queens in the clan. In addition to acting as a maternal figure to many and an actual mother to Hazeltail, Berrynose, Mousewhisker, Toadstep, and Rosepetal, Daisy has a couple of arcs about her relationships with some of her kits and her stilted romance with Spiderleg. More often than not, though, she is a wise figure relied on for advice in matters of the family.
(Firm, Still Loving) "No. I won't have you getting a stomach ache. Only warm food for you."
(Disbelief, Overwhelming Grief) "My kits...my precious kits. I'm so sorry..."
(Angry, Heartbroken, Lashing Out More Than Normal) "I've already lost my kit. Toadkit and Rosekit need their father! It's a wonder they even remember you, considering how little you even glance towards the nursery."
