Once an exceptionally optimistic kitten as Maplepaw, Maplestorm has lost that glow of enthusiasm for life. Her brush with death has made her all too aware of her own mortality, throwing into sharp clarity the very real possibility that she and her sister will not live to see the elders' den.

Learning under an incredibly cautious mentor has turned Maplestorm into a responsible, forthright young warrior - but also decreased any interest she had in 'rocking the boat'. Maplestorm admires her sister's thirst for life and penchant for excitement, but has become a spectator, not a participant, in Hazelcloud's adventures.

Pessimism now stains the rose-tinted lens Maplestorm once viewed the world through. The greencough epidemic has passed, and miraculously, both she and Hazelcloud have come out unscathed. A younger Maplepaw would have taken this as a sign that StarClan wouldn't take her away too soon--that she has so much more to accomplish, and a little greencough won't get her down.

But Maplestorm has looked into her own future, and seen the pale figure of death waiting there. How long will she stay healthy this time? What if a border patrol ends up being her last? What if she were to die in her sleep, her heart no longer able to keep her body going?

These thoughts sting her like wasps, and there's nothing to soothe away the pain - except for visiting the medicine cat's den. Not for treatment of the herbal kind, but to sit and talk with cats who understand StarClan better than she. In such frightening times, Maplestorm tries to fight her pessimism and paranoia by strengthening her faith.

That doesn't stop the fear from hitting hard, but she is no longer paralyzed by it. She tries to take each day as it comes, maintaining her friendships, and almost sisterly bond with Skunkspots, her mentor. Trying to ignore that countdown clock in the back of her thoughts. Maplestorm has never liked her condition, viewing it as an obstacle to be overcome, but now that condition has morphed into an enemy she's trying to stay one step ahead of.
