That's the thing, I am fully reliant on the game because I'm not great at storytelling, and it results in things getting way too repetitive and boring very fast XD

If there's one piece of advice I can give for making a story out of Clangen it's:

You don't have to stick 100% to what the game tells you. Don't be afraid to loosen up.

For example - Burnthroat died in game when she was on patrol with Firedapple and rogues attacked her. But the story had no need for rogues at that point, so I let Firedapple do the job. Cause it made sense for the story!

It still sticks to the basic story Clangen gave me, but I was able to fiddle with it a bit.

Firedapple + Snow Also died to rogues in game - but again, I had no need for them to die to rogues. So I allowed "rogues" to just generally mean "other cat".

If cats have babies and suddenly you're too overwhelmed by the amount of cats you have and don't think you can keep up with them? Ditch the babies and pretend they never existed. Kill em. Or Exile em.

Many of my cats have so many non-canon kits cause I just could not keep up with that many characters. Brindlestar had a second litter in game 2 MOONS after Sorrel, Yew and Hyacinth were born. I was just like nah, and got rid of the whole litter.

Use Clangen as a base. Don't rely on it fully. Let yourself change things about.

I made this, to show HoC Troutsmoke and Fernfeather's kits, I.... hope I didn't forget anyone, they had a lot, I don't think I did..

This list uses the same headshots I used in my, "Horizonstar Family Tree" from awhile ago. They're cute and simple, so I used them here too, showing Troutsmoke and her mate, Fernfeather's kits, with honorable mentions at the bottom to her adopted kits. The names

listed show the kit character's names, from when they died, not their warrior names that they were given in StC. This was kind of fun.. and wasn't complicated to make so maybe I'll

do this with other HoC cats? Now to the kits.

Cloverstrike was a medicine cat and was the apprentice of Maplerapid, they, sorry if this'll bother anyone, they had become mates after working together as medicine cats for awhile, this was automatic... and I didn't see an issue with it, because I don't have an issue with the whole... an apprentice becoming mates with their mentor, as long as said apprentice is an adult when they're officially acknowledged as

such. Like, my oc Petalstar was the mentor of her eventual mate, Dovetalon.... Cloverstrike eventually died, during a very bad time in the clan in regards to medicine cats, and died.. if I recall, about the same time as Creekfeather? I think... he died of frostbite..? At 84 moons..

His surviving littermate– Flickerwing... had been a warrior for a long time, and was even deputy, before deciding to take over for him as a medicine cat... after his death.. since the clan no longer had a medicine cat after that. But as a warrior, she managed to curve her kit brother, Summitpaw's, bloodthirsty and aggressive tendencies as his mentor, and the two shared a very close bond. However, she's worried she took it a little bit too far, as upon graduating to a warrior Summitsnap became suddenly insecure. Flickerwing had also been a mate of Basilleaf, after Whorlpounce died... She served her clan as medicine cat from the time she switched over to her eventual death when she was caught in a sudden avalanche. Flickerwing was 105 moons when she died...

Frostpaw, or Frostthunder, as he was named in StarClan. Well, he died at only 8 moons, so I don't have anything really to say about him, other than that he was killed by rouges early.

Lastly on top is Icybadger, again, she died early at only 11 moons, but, something a bit more interesting about her... is that she was named a warrior a moon early only to die the exact same moon in again, a rouge attack... this same attack killed Cariboufleck, who... I like to think, had died trying to protect her..

Avalanchekit, Avalanchepelt in StarClan (ironic name considering Flickerwing....)

Onto litter number 2. She died youngest out of all of them, so, I got nothing, she died of yellowcough at only 5 moons. (noo baby...)

Summitsnap, our ahem- bicolored cat. Where the only other color he has, is him having a... barely ever noticeable... "OFF WHITE" PAW! Summitsnap by a long margin, was longest lived out of his siblings. He's also the only out of them to have any known biological kits..... Being a father to a cat outside of HoC's kits, who he then brought to his clan to grow up. Summitsnap served his clan for a very long time as one of the oldest, most experienced and well respected warriors. I believe, even outliving all of his kits. He eventually retired to the elder's den, having earned it for a long time before officially retiring. He was a still a strong cat even at the time of his death. One morning however while he was out for a walk a fox found him and killed him... dying at the very impressive age of 163 moons. For a short

time, he was the oldest cat the clan ever had, until... his long time companion in the elder's den, Rowanspot died, tying her age with him.

Bramblerustle, a cat that I remember really loving, had been around for a decent amount of time, without anything really to note, his life was just kinda there. But I still loved him. He never had a mate or kits, and was just a standard warrior his whole life, the most notable thing I remember, is him impressing his clanmates by catching a lot of prey on his own a couple of times.... Bramblerustle was killed in... yet another rouge attack, that had also killed Flightbounce. He was 63 moons..

Lastly of her biological kits, Larkchirp, a cat in the exact situation as Bramblerustle, being a mostly unimportant minor character..... that never had a family or did much of anything... but I still really loved. I think in this case, it's because of her adorable name, that matched up perfectly, with her adorable personality.. Just like her kit sister, Larkchirp caught and then died of yellowcough at 43 moons old..

(do not ask me how the last two are brown?)

Now, her adoptive ones. These kits were found with a dead parent, Caterpillar, and were taken in by Troutsmoke. None of them had much, if any importance. Lizardblotch was barely a thing, since he was lost from the clan shortly after becoming a warrior and he just died away from the clan at 28 moons, and he's since faded because I didn't catch him in time to save him from doing so.... uh- Orchidpaw, adorable name aside died at only 7 moons... but her death, was at least caused by something more unique, her death is I think listeda s being caused by complications of a bee sting.... which I assume... means an allergic reaction to said bee sting, and kinda sad, I think if I recall, Troutsmoke was closest to Orchidpaw out of her adoptive kits and she was the one that died first. Her warrior name in StarClan is Orchidcrawl. And lastly, Shiveringgorse, which I've always thought was hilariously close.... to me accidentally saying, "Shivering Rose" a character from ancient ThunderClan. She lasted longest out of her siblings, even so, not very long. And... again, had little importance. The only thing I can think to say, is how she and Troutsmoke hated each other.. and I wish I knew why...?? She was killed by mistaking the scratching of a wolverine.... as prey at 33 moons of age.....

WRITING ALL THIS OUT TOOK ME LONGER THAN MAKING THIS ENTIRE DRAWING...!!!
