Omg I have been working non stop for this family !! I love them sm !! I tried to give every child a recurring genetic signature of their parents like the two eyebrows stripes from snowbird or her nose spot. For scorchfur, I gave his children his nose bridge spot, ear tufts for some and his overall head shape eheh !! I'm so so happy with the result

Berryheart

[tamaaiba]

Society if Whistlepaw was the 3rd pov character in ASC instead of Nightheart and Sunbeam’s character arc could properly be about her and Berryheart

Got a donation on my ko-fi that got us to reach TWO behind the scenes stretch goals!! thank u thank u!!

These are all the characters' 'base' colours! For each blue/pink/purple scene I'd put the corresponding blue/pink/purple colour (seen at the bottom of the first image) at 100% Soft Light over them (with a clipping mask) to tint them appropriately C:

I made sooo many character designs for this amv haha; usually different/side characters don't show up as much in my amvs that I honestly just make them up on the spot lol. But this time a lot of side characters appeared multiple times so I actually designed them out beforehand (and I started to have fun drawin lil guys hehe)

Oh yea forgor: the lil note beside Darktail's eye; I originally wanted the lake to be blue to match the symbolic colour of Needle's like despair n stuff, But through the course of making the amv I realized I wanted the lake she drowns in to be purple because she's doing it for Violetpaw!! So in the amv the water ended up being blue for just a moment when Dark pushes her underwater, then back to its purple :')

And the second BTS is the sketches for the thumbnail! I started in my sketchbook to brainstorm n then moved it over to digital (that digital sketch needle has like one paw raised but then i was like. That looks weird lol)

Berryheart! This one contains a lot of spoilers, starting in paragraph 2. She is one of Snowbird and Scorchfur's kits in their first litter, alongside Cloverfoot, and Buster(rippletail). She is also Needletail's mom, and later has Sunbeam Spireclaw and Hollowflight. She was among the first shadowclan cats to defect to join Darktail, alongside Cloverfoot and her younger sister Beepaw, before the kin had taken over the camp and were just hunting on Shadowclan land. She eventually becomes disillusioned with Darktail and tries to leave the kin quietly with Beenose, but they are caught and the kin attempt to drown them both, killing Beenose. Berryheart manages to survive, (only shown on the bank after escaping in the manga after Tigerheart's shadow). She heads out of kin territory again, passing a message back to sparrowtail and Needletail through Slatefur (who she doesn't tell she was just attempted drowned? the pacing of the manga makes no sense but oh well!) Sparrowtail meets up with her and later so does Cloverfoot and Slatefur (who was replaced with Rippletail accidentally for the whole book) and they settle in an abandoned twoleg den. She and Sparrowtail have their second litter on the way back to shadowclan while traveling with Tigerheart's family and the cat's from Twolegplace, delaying Tigerheart's return by a couple weeks until her kits are weaned.

In the Broken code she makes a few limited appearances, but In the Starless Clan arc she becomes a very vocal Shadowclan conservative as a complete role reversal from her younger attitude in consequence to her experience with the kin. She is extremely disappointed that her son Spireclaw has taken up with Fringewhisker, a Skyclan cat who joines Shadowclan in River. She starts a faction of Shadowclan cats who meet in secret to speak out against 'clan-swappers' as they call them in Sky. She is the cat who alters the rule that cats must complete a trial to cats must complete three trials to be abe to switch clans. Berryheart is also vocally against 'helping' Riverclan with their leadership problems, and conspires with members of riverclan to remove the shadowclan occupation. She is extremely stubborn and arrogant and only becomes more so over time believing she knows best for her kits, her kin, and her clan. She goes as far as to try to use the new rule to replace corrupt leaders against Tigerstar at a gathering, but instead is turned on by her clan who-when the chips are down-don't believe that Tigerstar had abused his clan. Tigerstar recommends that she leave shadowclan, and offended at the idea she might join another clan Berryheart spits she'd rather be a rogue. Tigerstar is serious, and Berryheart leaves with Sparrowtail and Hollowflight.

Berryheart becomes injured by glass on a thunderpath and then battles infection. Sunbeam tries to convince her to accept clan help but her mother is too stubborn. Splash'star' takes her in, and uses the bitter she cat to intimidate his clanmates, making her his deputy once she recovers after he murders Harelight for suggesting he forgive dissenters. Together they trap Tigerstar on the gathering Island and invade Shadowclan. She tries to convince her former clanmates in shadowclan that she has a plan to restore their clan and rule it herself, but having just attacked them they don't trust her, and Splashtail discovers her treachery. She is killed facing Lizardtail, Nightsky and Owlnose, pushing Sunbeam out of the way before Owlnose strikes the final blow.

Listen I 100% agree with the assumption that she resides in the dark forest (I cannot for the life of me find an official source that says so?), but I also very much understand the direction they take with Sunbeam and her grief for her mother. Berryheart is complicated, she is kind of a dick but her motivations are to save her clan and kin, it makes sense that Sunbeam (and Sparrowtail) wants to save her to the end. Speaking from experience Its hard to know the horrible things that a parent can do in the name of love. It makes you believe in the better side you can see in a person despite all of the horrible things they can rationalize away for the greater good. Ultimately though the only person who can choose not to do hateful and controlling things is the person doing the hating and controlling, and some will never admit they might be wrong even if it destroys all trust. RIP Berryheart I hate her but also I do love her lmao.

the BerrySparrow family! not quite sure how much I like my Berryheart design but I'm happy with Needletail and Sunbeam and they matter most to me (I felt like making them look pretty similar would be fun a long while back and I kept that idea here)
