Melody

Melody is a very light gray-brown tabby she-kit with faint tabby stripes.

Creativity

 * When Ashkit is persuaded by Littlewing and Cloudkit to tell a story, he begins with introducing Melody. He explains how Melody lives on the streets with her family, and how hard life was for her, though not impossible, and how much she loves her family. He spoke about her curiosity, and how she wanted to explore; and how she met many cats, but due to her shyness, wasn't able to make many friends.


 * He explains how she stumbles upon a dead baby bird, and how she didn't know what it was until she heard birdsong. At this point, Crowkit interrupts him, cutting him off, saying how that wasn't his story, but rather, their mother's.


 * After Cloudkit tells him he can tell the story, but it wouldn't be in the competition, he continues, adding that she buries the baby bird as well as she could, and went to see the live baby birds; he describes how weird it looked for Melody, as the baby birds were all wrinkled and featherless, but she saw them as kits.


 * He continues, saying how she came back every day to see the baby birds grow, and she was there when the bird's feathers started to grow in. When Melody came to visit one day though, the parents had disappeared, leaving the chicks to starve, so Melody decided to feed them herself.


 * He begins to talk about how she began to travel, gathering grubs and food for the birds, but two of the birds died, leaving one to live. He mentions she has a much lesser burden with only one chick to take care of. Melody named the surviving chick "Crescent", in honor of a white mark like a crescent moon under his wing.


 * Eventually, the chick was old enough to fly, and he mentions that she carries Crescent to a park, where the chick could observe other birds, and finally he took off in flight.


 * He mentions how Melody's parents thought she was sad, so they went out hunting early; and caught the bird Melody had raised. He explains that Melody became very upset and refuses to speak to anyone, fleeing to the park, hoping to catch a glimpse of the bird - but she didn't find anything.


 * He continues, how she finally collapses under an oak tree, which was where Crescent took its first flight. She fell asleep, and dreams that she was in a grand forest, and she locates three robins quickly - Crescent and its parents. He explains how the parents thank her for taking care of their chick, and Crescent thanks her as well, explaining that this was the afterlife, how every bird came here after they died, provided they could fly. Melody, comforted by the bird's words, asked for forgiveness for her parents' actions. Crescent tells her that he is glad to be flying alongside his parents, and promises that when she died, they would walk the skies together.


 * When Melody wakes, she feels safe, and returns to her parents, much to their delight. Ashkit finishes his story by glaring at his denmates.
