History
Sunkit was born to Goldflame and Sagestorm alongside his sister Cinderkit. At a young age, his parents taught him to respect his full bloodline, and to show it off. His parents were hostile to any cats that were formerly rogues, loners, kittypets or another Clan. Growing up, his favourite stories from the elders was about pure-heritage Clan cats, and he despised all the stories about former-loners and former-kittypets, despite most of them being shown in a positive light. His grandfather Lionfrost was one of the elders who tried to convince Sunkit otherwise, with the idea of telling the story about a Clan leader called Echostar who led ThunderClan into many victorious battles. What he left out was that Echostar was a former kittypet, and Sunkit grew up under the influence of this she-cat, wishing to be just as fierce and as courageous as she was.
When Sunkit became Sunpaw, he and Cinderpaw encountered a group of hostile kittypets considering leaving their twolegs and becoming loners, who attacked them and went extremely far, and it didn’t help when some passing rogues caught up with the action. In the panic, Sunpaw got a long scar down his back, but Cinderpaw, who was further in the midst, was ultimately killed. Sunpaw developed a crippling fear of kittypets due to this, and devoted his life to bullying them in return. He trained in the Dark Forest for some time, before neglecting them for his Clan and his loyalty to them. Lionfrost died of greencough after Sunpaw rejected the Dark Forest, much to his anger, and he wished to protect those he cared about.
When he passed his warrior assessment and got his full name, Sunclaw told himself that the rest of his life would be devoted to his sister’s memory. Shortly after his ceremony, both of his parents were killed in a fight with another Clan, which only heightened the tom’s fears. He, however, managed to convince himself to be less harsh and more careful around others.
He fought in a TC/RC battle where he gained his flank scar and notched ears, resolving to do better. He met a rogue called Newt who helped him work through his xenophobia, and he came back a changed cat. Newt also joined ThunderClan as Newtheart and they became friends.
Quotes
Now I don’t know what some… warriors… like Albatrossflare must be feeling this, and it has got to their brain. But with these attitudes, we will only make things worse. I think that we are forgetting our priorities to our Clan and our code in the midst of the chaos. Maybe I have as well. However, I believe that whatever state we’re in, we have to take a moment to remember what we are really aiming for. Is it just pure rage and vengeance? Is it set for accusations on innocent cats who did nothing? Or… is it… just what we believe is right? I do not think we can move on like this. What would StarClan - our own ancestors who sent our medicine cat this omen - say? I think we need to learn from what happened to Whitewolf, Albatrossflare and those RiverClan cats. We need to figure things out on our own. Where do we want our loyalties to lie? With our selfish, angry selves, or with StarClan, as it has always been?

- His old xenophobia came from his sister’s death.

Some Song Lyrics That Applies To Him
I guess I’m learning
I must be warmer now
I’ll soon be turning ‘round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside the dark I’m aching to be free
- The Show Must Go On, Queen
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
- The Long and Winding Road, The Beatles
You know I hate to ask
But are “friends” electric?
Only mine’s broken down
- Are ‘Friends’ Electric, Gary Numan
[…] you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
[…] you're a star in the face of the sky
