Cocoa has not met her family. She was abandoned by her parents due to unfortunate circumstances, and her litter was adopted by twolegs. Cocoa was the only survivor, and both of her parents have every reason to believe she didn't make it.
I think it would be interesting for her to run into one or both of her parents, since she has a lot of questions about her past and needs some motivation to get out into the forest.
Let me know if you are interested in either of these characters! Like I said, Cocoa has never met them, so fill in anything I didn't specify however you like. The names and images I chose are placeholders, so feel free to switch those up. As long as the image you use could plausibly be Cocoa's mother or father, I am happy with it.
Cocoa will likely end up in ThunderClan, but her parents could join any clan or remain solitary. Here are my thoughts:
Father: Cricket
Sex: Tom
Minimum Age: 23 moons (Feather Moon 2019)
For whatever reason, Cricket abandoned his mate when she was expecting kits. Perhaps he wasn't ready to start a family, or perhaps food was scarce and he was worried about his own survival. Maybe he regrets his decision, maybe he doesn't. If he encountered Cocoa, he would not immediately recognize her, but he might see her resemblance to his old mate and start to wonder. Then, he would need to decide if he wants to reach out to her or ignore her. Does he want to make things right, or would he rather forget his past?

Mother: Moth
Sex: Queen (Gender: Androgyne, ve/vis/veir)
Age: 24 moons
Moth didn't want to abandon veir kits, but Cricket gave veir no choice. Ve became pregnant during leaf-fall (late Feather Moon 2020), and without a mate to bring veir prey, ve struggled to find enough food to sustain veir growing kits. When ve finally kitted, leaf-bare was starting to dig in its claws, and ve was unable to nurse vis newborns. Ve abandoned the litter since they were as good as dead either way. Ve likely still grieves vis lost litter. Maybe ve blames veirself for taking Cricket as a mate too soon, or maybe ve only blames him for his selfish decision. If ve encountered Cocoa, ve would likely recognize her due to her uncommon coat color, and ve would certainly be shocked. Ve would more than likely want to reconnect with vis daughter, but it is possible that veir guilt and grief would make veir hesitant.

Cocoa will likely end up in ThunderClan, but her parents could join any clan or remain solitary. Here are my thoughts:
- If Cocoa joins ThunderClan before meeting a parent, one of them might join ThunderClan to be with her.
- If Cocoa joins ThunderClan and learns that one or both of her parents are in a different clan, it may cause her to reflect on whether ThunderClan is her true family.
- If Cocoa meets one or both of her parents before ThunderClan recruits her, she will likely follow one of them to whichever clan/group they choose.
- It is unlikely that both of her parents will end up in the same clan, due to their rocky past. Cocoa may end up needing to choose between her mother and father if she is able to meet them both.
