Introducing...

Small but deadly, graceful but calculated — known for their wits and grace, but above all, their pride. This bold clan occupies the southeastern marshland and are blessed with the extraordinary ability to breathe underwater with their gills.

With their cunning and clever nature, they have built up a reputation as one to be feared despite their smaller, more frail forms. Those who have faced a RainClan cat in combat can vividly recount the ruthlessness of their adversary, the dirty tactics they may have used, the cold look in their eyes. They are, after all, begrudgingly acknowledged as the most technically skilled of all fighters in the territories.

Life within RainClan

Strength is the most important thing for a RainClan cat; with their lithe, frail physicality and passive abilities that do not aid in combat, they make a conscious effort to stay on par with the rest of the clans. This sense of pride has perpetuated the clan dynamics, fuelling a culture of training and discipline. To be a member of RainClan is to embrace a lifestyle of constant improvement, where weakness is not tolerated and each cat strives to push their limits to new heights.

This culture has worked well for most members of the clan, who learn to excel and thrive under pressure, and build headstrong personalities that stand strong against outsider threats — it is said that RainClan is a clan without cowards. However, those who are unable to keep up often harbour feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. The prideful, judgemental attitudes of their clanmates are not at all helpful in supporting those who are less capable.

Due to having been attacked numerous times in history by their LucentClan neighbours, as well as being particularly vulnerable during leafbare when the marshes freeze over, they are meticulous about the security of their clan and are unforgiving to intruders. RainClan will take almost anything as a threat and train their apprentices to be prepared for anything.

Next pages will take a while unfortunately due to an overload of academic work I have to focus on first :( sorry for the wait guys, thank you all for being patient ❤️

Very interested to see if what everyone's saying about Driftycloud is legit or just complaints! I'm personally biased, as I like her design a lot. The blue frill around the neck is pretty

Hello my first ever ask!! :D I'm glad that you're curious about Driftycloud because she's my favourite character in the story!

Much of her clan is definitely... unwelcoming of her, and Sandyfur in page 17 does give an insightful perspective as the oldest elder in the clan. Hopefully once I release RainClan's clan profile it'll make more sense why the warriors are so on edge. I'm more excited for readers to make their own judgement of her later on in the story though!

Felt like the pace of the comic is moving a bit slow, so wanted to ask you guys what style of pages would you prefer. Option one would be something more similar to @/barrenclan where I'd be able to get pages out a lot faster, and option two would just be sticking to what is currently being made!

This will probably be the second last set of pages before the chapter ends!!

My exams are this month, so I can't guarantee scheduled updates as usual until February-ish, but I'm really excited to be finishing the chapter up. Between the beginning of Chapter 2 I will release an introduction for RainClan to give some more insight on the world. Hope everyone is having a good January!

Hello everyone! I'm sorry that there has been no page for a few weeks. As I mentioned in my previous post I've been extremely sick for the past month-ish and it's been difficult to focus on anything, let alone art. So I'm happy to say that I'm now fully recovered (I think!) and will be able to draw and work on the webcomic again! Very excited to finish up the first chapter :) Hope you all are enjoying the holidays!

[moonclansbalance]

Sorry for the no update this week, I've been extremely sick for the past week and a half and haven't really been able to draw. I do hope to get the next page out on Sunday but that likely depends on my health ❤️‍🩹 Thank you all for being patient!
