Frecklewish always had a close bond with her brother Birchface until one day he was killed by a RiverClan warrior named Appledusk. Her friend Mapleshade fell in love with Appledusk and had his kits, but she lied and said that Birchface was the father. When Frecklewish found out, she was devastated and angry though she loved the kits. After lots of terrible events, the kits wound up drowning and Mapleshade went evil, killing Frecklewish with a snake. This has left Freckle skittish and irritable.
