#Hell even Shellheart and Oakheart still loved him despite what happened

Headcanon 1:

Despite the fact that Stormkit had been renamed to Crookedkit by his mother, Rainflower, as a way to treat her son differently and to make him feel bad, the rest of RiverClan supported the injured Crookedkit and deeply respected him as he grew older for surviving such an awful injury.

The injury to his jaw, not only became a fun talking point at gatherings, but was used as a way to honor Crookedjaw(star) later in life for the work he had done for RiverClan and the relentless effort he put into being a better warrior.

It was also looked at as a way of StarClan looking down upon Crookedstar in a favorable light and became a point of pride for Crookedstar later in his life, for surviving the accident.

Headcanon 2:

When Crookedkit had moved into the medicine cat den for a short while, he was treated by Brambleberry for the infection and the jaw itself. While he always deeply respected her for her help, he also thought of her as his foster mother, because Rainflower treated him so poorly.

He always used to talk to her a lot when he was an apprentice, and at one point in time, was almost considered by Brambleberry to have him by her next apprentice. However, Shellheart, Hailstar, and Brambleberry all agreed unanimously that Crookedpaw deserved to become a warrior, as they had all seen his spirit when training and knew he would become a great warrior.

Despite this, Crookedstar continued to treat her well throughout his time in the clan and up until her death during Crookedstar’s venture as leader. He always spoke to her and always enjoyed their conversations, even if they sometimes lasted for hours on end. She always thought of him as her son in return, despite that she could never have kits, and still treats him as such, even after both have joined the ranks of the warriors in StarClan.

Headcanon 3:

After Brambleberry had passed away during Crookedstar’s reign, he held a full ceremony for her, as all clan cats have received. However, despite the normal idea to only sit vigil for the night, Crookedstar did a full vigil for two days and two full nights to honor her passing. Once the clan had taken her and buried her, Crookedstar could be seen lying inside the Medicine Cat den some days, still unable to process she had passed on, despite her long and prosperous life.

Mudfur, throughout all of this, helped the leader with the loss and the two also had long talks about Brambleberry. In the end, the talks helped Crookedstar move on from her loss, but also help him honor the medicine cat’s legacy for all she had done to not just help him, but the clan as a whole.
