#BB!Fuzzypelt

[bonefall]

Do you have anything on Hollypelt? I'm sorry i've been a little obsessed with her lately even though she literally does nothing

She's got a little mention on the ThunderClan Family Tree but she's admittedly a pretty small character in the grander scheme of BB!

Hollypelt is a Crusade Era molly. She's old enough to remember Mapleshade's exile, but might have been a young adult. Unsure.

She is the mother of Fuzzypelt, detested gene pool destroyer. In BB I managed to trim his devastation back, but Hollypelt's blood is still pretty influential!

I'm unsure who her mate was. They might actually be faded because their name isn't remembered, or it might be Mistpelt.

If it's Mistpelt it's divorce. Never speak to me or my cottonball son ever again

In any case, Holly raised Fuzzy alone.

She was buddies with Mothwhisker, somehow.

I'm unsure if it's mentor/apprentice or just friends, but it was completely non-romantic either way. Moth only likes other toms.

If I was picking cats for Pinepaw to be rescuing Crystal from during the Crusades, it would be Hollypelt and Mothwhisker.

Generally I see these two as BRUTAL together. They have excellent synergy and are both notoriously ruthless, but Mothwhisker is more... aggressive than Hollypelt.

Hollypelt holds a grudge and plots but Mothwhisker turns you into confetti on the spot.

Mothwhisker, Hollypelt, and Bloomheart are favorites of Oakstar during the Crusades. A trio of violent soldiers.

Off the battlefield, Hollypelt was also not the nicest girl around. She loved Fuzzykit fiercely, but she got in conflict with other cats regularly. Kind of grumpy, took innocent statements very personally

Had a tight-knit little circle of friends, and venturing out of that circle usually didn't go too well for either party.

Fuzzykit was the result of one of those times.

In spite of that, she was compassionate and loyal to her clanmates, and was cordial and polite to compensate for her lack of patience.

Though she wanted to die in battle, she starved during the Great Hunger. She, insistently honorably, refused to eat detestable "foods" like grubs or fish and wanted her Clanmates to eat first.

She was also small. Fuzzypelt is much larger than her, even though most of it is fluff. Hollypelt is like one of those pure black cats who's as thin as sticks, and Fuzz is a big black cloud.

How do you think Robinwing and Fuzzypelt's kits (Brindle, Frost, Raven and Dust, theres also Cherry and Chestnut but they're not even canon) should've turned out genetically?

i assume this was at least partially related to my rant about the worst family for genetics

but regardless, let's get into it.

now, if i really wanted to, i could conceivably argue that frostfur is a blue-eyed albino, which would allow her to be white despite her parents. it is, in fact, the only way she could be white. unfortunately, the only way brightheart can have any white is if frostfur has whitespotting, since lionheart doesn't have any white.

(and all of her siblings should have white spotting, but i digress.)

anyway.

let's start with the others.

brindleface can't be a tabby, since her parents don't show. otherwise, though, she's fine. dilute black, and she carries either chocolate or cinnamon from robinwing. depending on what robinwing's genes are.

anyway, this does change her presentation quite a lot, but yeah. since we don't know much about fuzzypelt, i can't say for sure why is his pelt is curly, but let's assume it's a form of rex, and it's a recessive one, that way i don't have to start doing a bunch of probability.

ravenpaw, again with the white. his white tail tip might be adorable, but we can't have it. sorry. otherwise, though, he should be okay.

dustpelt has the tabby problem again. he's chocolate, i assume, so that means fuzzypelt carries chocolate or cinnamon. no contradictions there, so we're all good.

so yeah! that's those three.

chestnutkit can be cinnamon, and both robinwing and fuzzypelt carry cinnamon, that works easy.

cherrypaw is fine as a tom, not as a she-cat, but that's fine. again, the same white issue as before. otherwise, tho, we're fine there.

alright, great, i'm going to do some punnet squares and roll some dice for frostfur.

i kind of want to give robin and fuzzy white, to get a chance at our beloved, but hey! you asked what they should be.

first up, 50/50 chance of tortie: i rolled tortie.

next up, we have bb1 x Bb1, which means we have four options: Bb, Bb1, bb1, b1b1. or, a 50% chance of being black, and a 25% chance of chocolate or cinnamon. i rolled black.

dilute, we know we have DdxDd for brindleface, so that's DD, Dd, Dd, dd: nondilute.

and, just to see, to give us the best possible chance at frostfur in any shape or form, let's say both her parents carry point: CcxCc (usually not written like that, but i'm being brief since the other alleles don't matter), that gives us...not point. i mean i could just deus ex machina it, but i'm not gonna do that, i'm hving fun.

so! that makes frostfur a boring, standard/default tortie.

anyway, that was just me rolling dice. if you want the closest possible frostfur, make her a dilute black with point:

considering colorpoint cats are born pure white, frostkit works for a name too! yay!

if you want to push her as white as possible, fawn point is an option, but much less likely. (about a 1% chance of happening.)

so yeah! that's "what should have happened."

since most of the cats are OK, other than tabbies and white spotting, i didn't feel the need to correct them. they're all reasonably likely, too.
