Flameheart

Flameheart was born as Flamekit to Snowblossom and Firestar, alongside his two littermates: Dovekit and Foxkit. He became an apprentice as Flamepaw with Sootstone as a mentor. When his mentor was killed, he gained Mapletail as a second mentor.

During his apprenticeship, Flamepaw became friends with a kittypet named Dumpling. He eventually asked her to join the clan, an offer which she accepted. He later earned his warrior name, Flameheart. Dumpling and Flameheart soon became mates, and Dumpling bore two kits: Acornwhisker and Thrushnose.

Upon the death of Thistlebrook, Flameheart was made Firestar's deputy in her place. He helped plan and pull off the battle for the fishing territory, along the way earning his clan's trust and respect.

Apprentice Ceremony
Firestar: Flamekit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Flamepaw. Your mentor will be Sootstone. I hope Sootstone will pass down all he knows on to you. Sootstone, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have trained yourself well, and you have shown yourself to be passionate and warm. You will be the mentor of Flamepaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Flamepaw.

Second Apprentice Ceremony
Firestar: Flamepaw, you are without a mentor since the death of Sootstone. The whole clan mourns his death, but your training must continue. Your mentor for the rest of your apprenticeship will be Mapletail. I hope Mapletail will pass on all she knows to you. Mapletail, you have shown yourself to be kind and wise. You will be the mentor of Flamepaw for the rest of his apprenticeship, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Flamepaw.

Warrior Ceremony
Firestar: I, Firestar, leader of MapleClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Flamepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?

Flamepaw: I do.

Firestar: Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Flamepaw, from this moment on you will be known as Flameheart. StarClan honours your compassion and honesty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of MapleClan.

Deputy Ceremony
Firestar: I say these words before StarClan, so that Thistlebrook may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of MapleClan is Flameheart.
