"Being mates with Tigerclaw..." EYO SHE LIKED TIGERCLAW?? Not a bad Eyo just a surprised and interested one. I Would Like To Know More

LMAO Jeez didn't realize you guys were hungry

Spotty, Red, and Tiger were apprentices together. Red and Spotty are the kids of Rosetail with an unknown sire, a fact that INFURIATED their crappy uncle Thistleclaw.

So Tigerpaw being assigned to the jerk... it was rough. They'd all been close and then Thistleclaw was trying to tell Tiger that they were not worth associating with. But still, they stayed friends.

Spotty and Tiger had big crushes on each other. Sneaking off to hang out, staying up late to chat, when Tigerpaw would come back scratched up Spotty was usually the one patching him up.

They were kids, y'know? Tigerpaw wasn't born evil.

But, Spottedpaw realized something; she LOVED healing. She LOVED interpreting signs, and she ADORED getting involved in Featherwhisker's rituals. More than anything, she was dreaming of being his apprentice and becoming the counselor of the leader.

She is a kind of ambitious, too. The Cleric role is VERY powerful, they are the sole interpreters of StarClan's will and have immense sway over Clan politics. She's a smart little cookie, and she picked up quickly that Featherwhisker was basically untouchable in the Clan so long as he hides his rulebreaking.

Just... everything about it is amazing. The power, its freedom, knowledge both arcane and forbidden, helping people. The only catch... having to give up the possibility of kittens and mateship.

(At least openly. Featherwhisker has a secret forbidden child-- Frostfur.)

That was simply a cost she was willing to pay. Wouldn't you?

Tigerpaw understood, but she knew him well enough to realize how badly it hurt him. He's more torn up about it than she is, underneath the stoic mask Thistleclaw put on him. Somehow, it's worse knowing it's requited.

They continued to flirt for their entire lives, and there was always a tension between them. Especially in the brief period of time they had after Redtail's 'death'... he didn't know how, but he knew she knew.

(This tension goes RIGHT over Firepaw's head. "Wow Spottedleaf is standing up to Tigerclaw :0 shes so cool and brave." *aromantic flag slowly manifests in the background*)

When Spottedleaf dies in a raid that Tigerclaw invoked, he mourns her truly. A friend, a possible lover in another life, a compassionate cleric who was always there with a joke and a soft paw. To him, it is an... unfortunate cost.

Spotty gets him back later though, giving him his very last life, without telling him what it would be for until he had it. It was a life for DEATH. That his reign would be just as short as it was bloody, and that his ending would be so gruesome they'd remember him in infamy.

I wanna see your take on spottedleaf!

Oops haha remember when this account was alive? Well now it's (sort of) back!! And with more takes on canon warriors! ...A couple years late ;;

Heeeere's Spottedleaf! My dearly beloved doctor with an early demise. Rambles about her and a lil worldbuilding under the cut!

When I was first reading Warriors as a kid, the Fire Alone scene really stuck with me, and I had always seen Spotty as a sort of mystical, otherworldly seeming cat. I could always vividly picture her wide-eyed, unseeing stare, gaze glinting under the sparkling pinpricks staring back, blinking their secrets to her. Though, I never really enjoyed the Erins' tendency to boil her down to nothing more than 'pretty'. I particularly enjoy @bonefall's interpretation of her, with her generally unbothered demeanor, her pretty morbid interests and sense of humor, and ESPECIALLY the themes of leaf blight in her design. Those ended up working their way into my own vision of her, and now I don't think I can see her any other way! I did end up combining the two ideas into a hybrid of how I envisioned her as a child and the far more dynamic portrayals of her I've come to love nowadays. Behold our sweet, somewhat strange(/pos), leech-loving gal in all her glory! I like to think in my own version of her, her appearance leads people to be rather unassuming of her, but she's not just a pretty face, and certainly not to be underestimated! She's incredibly skilled at what she does both physically and spiritually, and she could be just as tough as our dear Yellowfang if you're getting in the way of the treatment of her patients! ...Or if you're a particularly unruly patient yourself. They're just leeches! Are you a big strong warrior, or a kit? On another note, this image showcases a little concept I like to work into my healer designs. I always give my healers two herbs tucked behind their ear. It's a traditional thing. They're given their first upon apprenticeship, typically mirroring their mentor's own, a tangible signifier of the knowledge they're passing to their charge, and the hope that they can bestow their best traits onto their student. The second is received upon earning their full name, a reflection of their skills, their strengths, their personality. It's wholly their own, symbolic of who they are as a healer, and as a cat. This is the one that will be passed to their future apprentice. A long chain from healer to healer, sharing the best parts of themselves to live on in the next generation. The herbs Spottedleaf wears are Elderflower and Dandelion. Elderflower, which was worn by Featherwhisker before her, represents compassion, humility, and zeal. Dandelion is representative of faithfulness, happiness, love's oracle, and overcoming hardships. Spottedleaf is a cat of much more depth than the books gave her credit for. I could go on about my thoughts on her for hours, honestly. She is, and always has been one of my favorite characters, and I've only grown to love her more and more over the years.

any other particularly wild changes you think are most liable to convert my friend to the Bonefall Way? :3

You CAN'T just leave out Spottedleaf's little surprise to Tigerstar!! I would also give a shoutout to Ace Attorney Lizardstripe. Lizardwright. Plus Bluestar's whole gay little friendgroup. And also the Star Flower Blood Sacrifice.

I think Finchlight's name translating to "Thistle-Eating Finch Glows Like Fire," which is better understood as "This Cat Kills Fascists," is also worth being on there

I hope your friend's brain is exploded to bits
