Ashfur’s Their Father! by Rainpaw

Who was there father? Ivypool and Dovewing’s possible dad’s put on trial today…

Hi guys! This is Rainpaw, with Warrior News! XD Okay, so you’ve read the title, so you might, just MIGHT know what I’m talking about. I’m gonna start this of with a question: Who REALLY is Dovewing and Ivypool’s father? Birchfall, or Ashfur? Okay, so probably many people have touched into this, but I’m gonna dive into it today.

First of all, let’s talk genetics. Where did they get the grey from? Yes I know, I know “White can mask any color, so they gray could come from Whitewing!” Let’s say this is true. Then where did Ivypool’s blue eyes come from? Some of you might say from Cloudtail, but cat genetics don’t care about the grandparent’s genes! Only the parent’s genes are taken accounted for. So, If Ashfur isn’t there father, then where did the blue eyes come from? And back to the gray fur, Ashfur’s grandfather, Fuzzypelt, was a grey tom, so grey is obviously genetic in his family.

Next, I’m gonna touch upon conflict between Whitewing and Ashfur in the books. In the book The Sight, Chapter 6, page 69, Ashfur can be seen sharing tongues with Whitewing. “Ashfur and Whitewing were sharing tongues nearby. “You’d be wiser splitting up!” He called over. “On your own, you might just manage to surprise your prey, but the three of you clumping around the forest will scare everything from here to sun-drown place!” Whitewing poked him with her snowy paw. “Don’t tease them, Ashfur!” She scolded. “You were an apprentice once. You must remember how tense you were about your first assessment!”” That’s a quote straight from the book! That’s a very loving thing for Whitewing to say to somecat who isn’t her mate, don’t you agree? And let’s fast forward to when Ashfur died: “Lionblaze flinched at the sound of a distraught wail from behind him. Whitewing had emerged from the warrior’s den, followed by Birchfall. “Did a fox get him?” She cried. Lionblaze shook his head. ” We found him in the stream on the WindClan border. It looks as if he drowned.” Whitewing shuttered. “That’s dreadful.”” Why would Whitewing react so… umm… let’s say emotionally if Ashfur wasn’t her mate?

This might be why she said Birchfall was the father: Ashfur told her about his plans to kill Lionblaze, Hollyleaf and Jayfeather, and tell all the Clans that Squirrelflight isn’t their mother. They get into a fight. Whitewing finds out she’s expecting kits. She is getting very close to Birchfall, so she says that he is the father so that her kits don’t have to deal with his legacy. Then BAM! Dovekit and Ivykit are born!

That’s all for today, folks. See you next time on…. Warrior News! *Reporter music* What did you think of this article? Leave your opinion in the comments below! Rainpaw…….. OUT!!!!!
