Blizzardstorm

Forgot about this guy...

Blizzardstorm was one of the first cats that tried to stand up against Brackenstar when he declared war on the clans... and then immediately died when he got his head smashed into a rock. Blizzardstorm was always a loyal cat and looked up to brackenstar, always wanting to be like him one day but those hopes where slowly erased when Brackenstar started planning to control and eliminate the other clans (by name, he wanted to kill the leaders and take control of other clans...) Blizzardstorm resented brackenstar yet he offered to go along with the senior warrior to have a meeting with the other clans. When brackenstar declared war, blizzardstorm called him out and tried to get him to step down, calling his other clanmates to agree that he should give up his role. Brackenstar attacked blizzardstorm and the two fought before blizzard was ultimately overtaken and 'made' an example of.' Over all blizzardstorm was an active, charismatic tom.

Blooming Briar

Moon 0 ( Prologue ); Newleaf - Year 1

Sunlight streamed down onto a forested gully. Rays of light weaved between unfurling, leafy branches and dappled the section of woodland that made BriarClan’s camp. A long-furred speckled tom arose up from the large, gnarled roots of an oak tree, stretching then shaking his brown pelt. Laurelstar yawned. The morning chill made him fluff his fur just a little, a sign that leafbare still tried to stubbornly cling with frosted claws even as the days grew longer.

He leaped onto a smooth slab of stone that rested beside the old oak tree, watching the Clan slowly awake in front of him as had become his habit. Except - no one seemed to be awake. Actually, it seemed as if no one was in camp at all, besides Laurelstar himself. Usually, the leader could at least hear the hushed murmurings of waking warriors setting out for dawn patrol. Has something happened?

Jumping down, the speckled tom padded warily to the center of the camp clearing, noting how the dens on either side of him looked empty. Before he could open his mouth- to question or call out, he didn’t know- he felt a prodding sensation under his paws. Stepping back, Laurelstar watched in awe as a plant sprouted from the soil and began rapidly growing.

Twists of leaf and budding blossom whirled around the leader, thorny branches reaching towards the sky elegantly as the tom’s hazel eyes became moon-shaped and round. This can’t be happening! Is this an omen? The tom thought in panic but couldn’t bring himself to uproot his paws and flee. The bush now towered over Laurelstar, and he had to crane his head up and squint his eyes to see the peak of the plant, backlighted by the rising sun. He recognized the small, pink flowers as sweetbriar roses. As the growth of the bush slowed to an eased stop, petals slowly drifted down like soft-scented rain. A single petal gently fluttered down and landed on the leader’s nose. He could acutely smell the sweetness of the flower before he was blinded by a white flash.

Laurelstar opened his eyes, gasping. Immediately, his vision focused on the wooden walls of his den. The softness of his mossy nest. The warmth of the hollow. Forcing his fur to lie flat and his heart to stop racing, he took a few calming breaths, regaining his composure. Sitting up, he curled his tail around his paws, brushing something soft against him. Hazel eyes looked down, seeing a familiar pink petal. He could still smell the pleasant fragrance from mere moments ago. Laurelstar sighed, “Was that you, StarClan?”

Part 2 of @clansoftheshoshone gift exchange! Here is Sparkpaw my BELOVED for Matty🤩

[maplewood126]

Bramblestorm

Bramblestorm is a fluffy, soft furred tom-cat who has a long scar that runs from his neck, to his flank, over his back and to the front of his leg. This scar was given to him in one of the many battles against Brackenstar and his group. He is brother to Larchtooth and Fennelstripe and finds it hard to forgive his brother. Overtime, the two will reconnect and forgive one another. He was a rebel and acted as a messenger to other clans.

Hi! I was wondering when you planned to open applications again? I'm interested in hopefully joining, but I understand if it won't be for awhile !! :D

While we don't have any concrete plans right now, we are hoping to open up again at the end of the summer! Likely we will only be opening for CreekClan and BriarClan, but I will try to release some more recent clan lore that can help with the decision :3c We look forward to meeting all of those who are interested!!
