With @Boone nearby, and of course @Reverie ensuring Blossom didn’t wander off the nearest cliff like a lemming, the Willows became a playground for a young, growing girl.
Though, she wasn’t quite so young anymore, was she?
At nearing six months old, the girl was of her full adult height, maybe missing one last growth spurt, but that would only knock it up a few more inches. Her steps were made with lengthy legs, her eyes were alight with wonder.
She was a teenager, or at least getting there, and everyone around her loath to admit it, even Blossom herself. But, it didn’t stop her from capering, dancing through the Willows with a song on her breath.

No, no, not quite right.She murmured to herself, stopping in place for a moment. Then, she shrugged, smiled, and carried on with her cavorting.

Without much thought inside her head about how long the chase had been going on she bolted forward, nose outstretched and sniffing the wind and ground in every direction frantically trying to keep the scent of prey that was teetering just on the edge of nothingness. On and on she had gone until she came across not her rabbit but something, someone just as spritely.
Dancing through the willows Katanya spotted a young wolf and her ears pricked as a pleasant song, albeit one that sounded scattered, filled the air. One paw raised she made to move forward and paused, hesitant for her stomach nagged at her with an unpleasant rumble and chose to speak out "Hello There!" her throat was rough from the way she must have been panting at the end of the chase there and she cleared her throat, wagging her tail slowly to signal she was friendly "Nice song, work in progress? Have you seen a rabbit anywhere around here?"

Possibly a cameo
Reverie trailed her daughter from a distance, as she often did.She was staring at the clouds just then, one ear turned idly toward Blossom, and might have kept at it were it not for a foreign sound cutting through the air. A stranger's voice. A stranger in the willows. A stranger near her daughter. The fur along her spine rose and she darted through the trees, only slowing when she caught sight of the stranger and her daughter.
A woman. Tall, but she seemed harmless enough. Reverie watched warily from a distance, hackles still aloft. For now she would only observe, ever protective of her only child. But if the woman made a wrong move, she would learn quickly to regret it.
Watching me is like
watching a fire take your eyes from you
watching a fire take your eyes from you

A stranger’s voice floated through the willows, and Blossom rather comically turned on her heel, near tripping over herself. She managed to wrangle her legs into function, and gave her biggest, bestest smile.
Thank you!She chirped, before her head dropped to the side in an over-exaggerated tilt.
No, I didn’t see a rabbit. Do you know his name? Maybe you could call him!Blossom turned on a heel to begin clicking her tongue at the bushes.
Here bunny bunny!

oh.
Her lips pursed into a surprised shape as the girl whirled around to greet her, a bit too fast for her body to keep up with though Katanya wasn't entirely sure if she actually had stumbled at all so when the kid righted herself out regardless she made a point to keep her inside thoughts from spilling out. Dipping her head in response to the polite child her eyes raised slightly to peer into the willows behind her as another scent....maybe two? wafted toward them on the breeze. Whoever it belonged to smelled like they were almost upon them and her fur prickled warily but after a few moments when nobody else came forth she let her guard ease back down and returned her attention to the one doing a delightfully bad job at locating her rabbit. Her tail wagged behind her and she felt a warmth spread over her as she followed the child's lead "Rabbit? Where have you gone off to? My legs have gone numb, C'mon now!" she allowed her voice to raise enough to seem like she was taking the child's help seriously, not seeing any harm in saving her pride when the rabbit now had a solid lead and she sucked too much at tracking to hunt it down. She'd have to head back toward the Lair and focus on finding Mair whether it was empty bellied and empty jawed or not.
"He was in such a rush I think he's probably just gone on his way, I'll catch him another time. No sense wrecking your voice hollering for him though your help was kind" she offered a smile of her own lifting her nose out of some bushes and turning back to the girl. Remembering the manners she was taught in the kingdom she stretched her forelegs out, bending low enough that her nose nearly brushed the dirt curtsying for a few moments before raising herself upright again "My name is Katanya"

Blossom giggled, stuffing her nose beneath every branch and bush in an attempt to find the bunny.
The woman spoke to her and Blossom pulled her head out from under the bush, leaves tangled in her fur.
Hhhheeeeeere bunny bunny!She crooned to the underbrush, but nothing came to her very inviting call. The girl wound up pouting into the deep dark beneath the bush. She wasn’t going to hurt the bunny, she projected those vibes as hard as she could! Blossom couldn’t even hunt without crying!

’m Blossom! Blossom Mayfair! My momma’s claiming this area, but you’re welcome to stay!She flashed her biggest, friendliest smile.
