Just like her mother before her, PolarBlaze has always been able to see the ghosts that roam these lands unseen. It's unknown why she and her mother GhostWhispers can see the deseased, but some theorize that it's because they are descendants of LavaStar, the first king of the LavaSpark and the LunarRose Clans. Very few of his descendants are left nowadays, but legends of old claim that he yielded special powers.

Due to her abilities to commune with the dead, PolarPaw was shy and quiet. She often wandered off and explored the LunarLight territory growing up. During one of these adventures, she met an adolescent Leoponess. This Leoponess was standoffish and cold, snarling once she spotted the achromatic lioness. With a quiet and careful tone, PolarPaw spoke gently
"Are you okay? You seem lost..."
The Leopardess glares at the snuh white lion before her.
"That is none of your concern! Leave me alone!"
Polarpaw was about to, but noticed something. A sorrowful ghost of a lioness, who's fur was a pastel orange that looked blessed by the Harvest Moon itself. This spirit was sitting beside the leoponess, whispering apologies and promising that her sacrifice was necessary for the leoponess's safety. Polar looks sympathetically at the pair, before replying softly as she stares at the ghost.
"She seems apologetic..."
That seemed to confuse the other teen, who glances around to see what the other was looking at. Of course, she saw nothing.
"Who? There's no one here?"
The ghost looks at the achromatic teen, and suddenly steps closer with urgency.
"Please give my daughter a message, if you can see me. Please tell my little Hearthpaw that I didn't wish to leave her. I did what I had too after my clan exiled me for her birth. Please tell her I died so she could live. I wasn't going to let those rogues take her..."
Polar seems unsure on if Hearthpaw will even believe her if she says any of this. Most lions don't believe in Polar's abilities most of the time. Yet, she repeats the message with a heavy heart. This moment is the start of a fate neither of the teens could see coming.

Over the course of a year, the two became closer. Starting as friends, and slowly they fell in love. Eventually, PolarBlaze convinced HearthPaw to come to her clan, to request her be added into the clan. The LunarRose and LavaSpark were known to accept those of all varieties, mutated in any way. However, neither clan ever had a hybrid appear. Thankfully FrostedStar, the then queen of the clan, accepted HearthPaw into the clan. Over time HearthPaw became HearthSong, PolarPaw became PolarBlaze, and the two made it official after two years of pinning.
They had 4 cubs thus far. SparkPaw (boy, little rascal leopon decor), IciclePaw (genderfluid, Albino Leopon Cub decor), OrbPaw (girl, Lipard Cub decor), and SpiritKit (nonbinary, Winter Achromia Cob decor).
Sparkpaw is later named SparkSpring
IciclePaw is later named IcicleChime
OrbPaw is later named OrbWeaver
SpiritKit is later named SpiritWalker
