okay here is the link!

it's a database of all names (including nicknames, titles, and mistakes) mentioned in the warrior cats books, with a search tool as well. this is what happens when someone who's obsessed with categorizing information is also obessed with shitty kids' books full of easily categorized information.

(little guide to the search tool)

there's only three books in there so far, but this is just the latest of many, many attempts. it all started with a wc name generator, which i didn't want to produce canon names, and kind of spiraled out of control. don't worry about it.

if it's not clear just looking at it, i'm not a coder, but it does what it's supposed to do. anyway i understand that this is really dumb and it's a personal project with no practical purpose, but maybe someone else would find it fun. shoot me a question if you have any. i will continue adding books, names, and possibly other features as i go 👍

does anyone want to check out my silly little perchance dot org coding thing teehee

i'm rereading avos and i think violetshine needed an arc where she realizes that needletail was a shitty friend. where she comes to terms with the fact that it was needletail who brought and kept her in the darkest part of her life, even though she gave up her life to get her out of it.

also i think needleclaw should've been named zeldaclaw. first off, i think this makes more sense for violetshine's character. violetshine can hardly talk about her time with the rogues, and i think that naming her daughter after her troubled friendship would bring up more painful memories. her relationship with zelda was much more positive. second off, zeldaclaw is such a good skyclan name.

for my mistyfoot-in-the-fox-trap au.

mistyfoot does not tell anybody what happened that day, when hawkfrost intended for brambleclaw to kill her. who would help? she cannot forget how her clanmates turned on her, the sneering remarks about her heritage. she cannot forget that leopardstar appointed her deputy only to push tigerclan into the past. she cannot forget riverclan's compliance in the moons of hawkfrost's scheming and undermining and stirring trouble.

so she cannot tell. she can only hope to outlive leopardstar. she can only hope that, once she's leader, riverclan will be receptive to change.

years later, bramblestar's life is stolen by a vengeful ghost. good riddance, mistystar thinks, relieved to never sit beside him in the great oak again.

but squirrelflight is shattered, and mistystar respects squirrelflight. the daughter of her old friend, brave and loyal. moreover, mistystar sees herself and blackclaw in squirrelflight's own tumultuous relationship.

and... if she's being honest... mistystar understands her birth mother a little more, after watching squirrelflight's life fall apart and be put back together again.

so mistystar approaches the grieving cat to offer her condolences. but squirrelflight hasn't forgotten those arguments over hawkfrost, those nights spend burning with anger. she hasn't forgotten hawkfrost's mysterious death or the way brambleclaw avoided her gaze after. she hasn't forgotten what her mate has been hiding from her.

the question slips out. what happened?

man i miss when wc books had prologues that were actually interesting and plot-relevant and weren't just a bunch of starclan cats fretting and arguing with each other

I want you to know I’m getting so much brainrot outta your mistystar and brambleclaw idea. Like this is making the brain go crazy

Love the whole image

Misty isn’t pleading, no begging for her life. The simple question: what will you do?

And yeah imagining Mistyfoot after that has got to just mess with her a bit knowing this cat did hesitate but you can’t prove it and being leaders alongside him is just aughh

thank you!!! the "simple question" part was ripped right out of sunset, just swapped mistyfoot for firestar. but yeah! there is unresolved tension between all three of brambleclaw, hawkfrost, and mistyfoot. this feels like a way to wrap up their plot threads, and also set up some character conflict for later arcs :3

Spikefur! He is a new apprentice in Bramblestar's Storm, and is Pinenose's mate by A Vision of Shadows. Despite being a young father he acts like a senior warrior and teams up with Scorchfur in the undemining of Shadowclan leadership. He is the second voice in deposing Rowanstar and takes a strong stance in favor of Darktail. He is portrayed as a very protective mate to Pinenose, who loves to see him, but is pretty dismissive to most of his kits, with the exception of Puddleshine, who he leverages their kinship to keep the medicine cat with the rest of Shadowclan and the Kin instead of leaving with Rowanstar. Spikefur remains with the kin until darktail is deposed and killed, and is reported to have left with the remnants of the kin. It is later revealed through Yarrowleaf and Sleekfur that the tom got sick and died because the remnants of the rogue group refused to gather herbs or care for him.

His head tufts are based on these cats, which may be explainable as cryptic chimeras, or as another unique genetic phenomena:
