Story:
Well, Shiverberry was a popular Clanmate
Hot bod,’ hot mate, best hunter, plus she was swift
That mollie had everything 'til hiccup and hitch
Tulipwren lost a leg in a wreck (amputated)
The nomination for Clan deputy came
Our Shiver’s prime years, and deputy was her claim
'Til gossip stirred Sandstar would name
Tulipwren deputy for Shadowclan (pity choice)
"Shiver," her father said, "Life is a rank"
"I know you won't disappoint me and Redbank"
You taste the silver Shiver, you taste the role
You thirst for blood from the roses in paw
You spoil for Stars and orders, words to dance
As they name you deputy of Shadowclan
Name Shiver, choose Shiver, announce it Shiverberry
Name Shiver, choose Shiver, announce it Shiverberry
So obsessed, our Shiver near lost her mind
To life un-rank related, Shiver was blind
She shoved her squad, her clique, her mate behind
Still Tulip had a hold on the lead (poor, poor, Tulip)
Soon Shiver's sanity was hung by a thread
Her B.F.F.'s proclaimed her socially dead
'Til then, at last, her mate padded over and said
"I'm sharing Tulip’s nest" (love, love, Tulip)
"Shiver, " her father said, "Why be so calm? There's just no future for a plain warrior in time"
You taste the silver Shiver, you taste the role
You thirst for blood from the roses in paw
Whoa, you spoil for Stars and orders, words to dance
As they name you deputy of Shadowclan
Some cats are rational but Shiver was not
She stared in puddles thinking one single thought (Tulip)
There's seven reasons this rank's not good as got
And so the night of the choice, mercy, thus went her plot
"D" is for Darkleaf drinking poisoned chipmunk
"E" is for Eggperch dashed on a rock, crunch!
"P" is for Parsleystem before Shiver bludgeoned her brains
And "U" is for Ulextree’s marinated remains
But, but! "T" is for Thrushflight, quiet, drowned in the lake
And "Y" is for Yarrowbur's pieces spread round the field
But second "E's" are for the easy way in five minutes tops
A one-leg'd mollie can bring an "N" for
End by jumping from rocks
You got your silver Shiver, you got your role
You got their blood on the roses in paw
Whoa, you donned the Stars and order doing a dance
As you named you deputy of Shadowclan
They wrapped your wrists in silver, they took your role
They washed the blood from each toe on paw
Into a strictly watched, small prison den
Screaming, "I'm the deputy of Shadowclan!”
At least in your head, you’re deputy of Shadowclan
Oh, pity the dead, you're deputy of Shadowclan
Additional Information:
--very obviously a song lmao
it is the lyrics to The Ballard of Sara Berry, just Warrior-fied, and therefore not as catchy. “Second E” what is that spelling? also the rhyming is terrible but idc it’s fun
--I want to leave it mostly to interpretation, but I will say what I believe happened (or what actually happened ig so not exactly up to interpretation)
>Shiverberry’s parents always stated how important being deputy / leader is and that if you’re just another warrior, you’re basically not worth anything
>Shiverberry really wants to be deputy (previous one likely was sick, which is why it wasn’t an overnight picking new deputy decision)
>Rumours spread that Tulipwren would be chosen.
>Shiverberry was pushed even more by her parents
>Shiver killed those who spoke well of Tulip. She didn’t kill just Tulip because she believes she’s already better than Tulip, and if these cats can’t see that, they won’t see that when Tulip is gone, and will voice their high thoughts of someone else unworthy
>She becomes
>Tulip finds out (somehow)
>Tulip jumps from some rocks and attacks her
>Shiver is kept prisoner, and she’s angry because excuse you she’s the deputy (or did she lose her mind at this point? You’re say)
>Executed by Tulipwren, the new deputy
