Son of Brindleface and Whitestorm

"He knew that Brindleface's fourth kit had died soon after it was born, and she seemed to love the remaining kits even more fiercely now."

New Brindleface rewritten family tree! Few notes below:

Mostly the same from canon altogether Birchfall was adopted during the destruction of the forest territory from the van that leafpaw was trapped in.

He was around one month off from being 6 moons old when leafpaw meets him but he’s been fending for himself in around twoleg territory since 4 moons old.

Ferncloud and Dustpelt are still mostly just platonic it’s a bit complicated.

And yes Ashfur is the father of Dovewing and Ivypool I’ll get into that later :)

Other Family trees that relate to this one:

Hollypelt | Mistpelt + Dawnfeather | Daisy + the old Brindleface tree

kitty cats

Redtail and Spottedowl (Spottedleaf) are now based on birds. So is their ancestor Spotteddove (Spottedpelt)

random Runningfox (Runningwind). Might make him a grandson of Windflight

Bluestar, Snowdrop (Snowfur), and Moonflower. None of them are silver anymore. I like to think they look like Maine Coons w/ shorter ears

Sunstar and Dayspeckle (Speckletail). Shuffling the family trees now, so that Sunstar is the father of Lionheart and Goldenflower.

STARCLAN’S LAST RESORT AU NOTES #1

Been meaning to update with some ideas on this AU but have really been struggling art wise, so here are some random world/character building thoughts and ideas I have currently. 

The story takes place in the old forest after deforestation, and the entire surrounding area is sort of post apocalyptic/ barren and almost purgatory like, though as to why this is and how the sudden destruction of the clans happened is still under construction. 

THUNDERCLAN

I’ve already decided the first “main” group that gets revived in Thunderclan are Scourge, Princess, Smudge, Swiftpaw, Shrewpaw, Snowkit, Mosskit, Elderkit, Tulipkit, Juniperkit, and Dandelionkit. All of them were chosen based on unfair deaths and each cat’s connection to Firestar or Tigerclaw/star in some way. 

Other returning Thunderclan members currently under consideration are: Thrushpelt, Frecklewish, Birchface, Speckletail, Snowfur, Bluestar’s parents, Swiftpaw and Snowkit’s siblings, Mapleshade’s kits, Honeyfern, and possibly Briarlight.

ABSOLUTELY returning next would be: Pinestar, Leopardfoot and her kits, and Goosefeather, which I feel could add a lot of drama and unique interactions based on unresolved feelings from the earlier events of the books. 

A possible change would be changing some parents of characters to prevent inbreeding or odd story choices (ie Darkstripe being the father of Brindleface’s kits), though I fully intend to properly address the extremely uncomfortable abuse/manipulation in relationships and large age gaps that are brushed over in canon, as well as bringing up some character traits that are often overlooked or ignored in said canon as well. 

One of the main ones I’ve discovered is Stormtail, Bluestar’s father, who’s alarming behavior has been mostly overlooked. Including his age gap relationship with Moonflower, his bullying and pretty much implied attempted murder on Goosefeather, the neglect of his kits till they live up to his expectations, and of course, his implied affair with Dappletail, which also concerns an age gap. I hope to expand on these details with lesser looked at characters like this some time in the events of the AU 

Finally for Thunderclan, Scourge would receive a leader role but would not have nine lives, and would possibly mentor Swiftpaw or Snowkit. I’m also considering Snowkit becoming a medicine cat, but not as a way to push him in there because of his deafness. Since the clans have been destroyed and rebuilt with these revived cats, I feel some warrior code would change, idk if Scourge would really want to keep everything exactly the same if he’s now in control of clan life. Snowkit would be a sort of battle medic, doing both warrior and med cat duties equally. Swiftpaw and Shrewpaw would gain a friendship, along with Snowkit and Mosskit! Snowkit would also support Goosefeather in many ways. 

Pinestar would return but still be extremely distant and attempt to live as a loner in the new barren world, though he would definitely keep being pulled back into clan life and his inescapable actions. Also learning about his revived kits, his grandson, and his great grandchildren (Dandelion & Juniper), would probably affect him in some way. Him and Leopardfoot are divorced (yippee!!! 🎉🎉) but still struggle with having to work together to keep the future of the clan safe. 

As for the other clans!! I don’t have a ton but here’s what’s gonna possibly happen there. 

RIVERCLAN

Do you remember Whiteclaw?? No?? He was Leopardstar’s apprentice who fell over the gorge. He apparently also had a crush on Silverstream before his death. I feel him and Thrushpelt could relate to have one sided crushes on girls who end up not being at all interested in them and having a romance with the neighboring clan cats instead. (Solidarity) Willowbreeze would return with her kits as well as Brightsky and her kits (Leopardstar’s mom) 

SHADOWCLAN

There is some Lord Of The Flies stuff probably happening in Shadowclan, so many apprentices and kits died there from Brokenstar’s reign among other things, daycare has gotten out of control. 

WINDCLAN

Also a lot of dead apprentices in Windclan! I thought there would be a similar scenario, except Antpelt comes back and has to babysit all of them. Also possibly maybe Darktail’s unnamed newborn siblings join??? 

EDIT: JUST REALIZED I PUT FERNCLOUD INSTEAD OF BRINDLEFACE FOR DARKSTRIPE’S MATE I’M SORRY

[mousetoe-wc]

Brindleface and Daisy family tree rewrite!

The changes below

Ferncloud and Dustpelt are platonic partners that co-parent their kits. Ferncloud is aroace but always wanted kits and was good friends with Dustpelt, so she asked him if he wanted to co-parent and he agreed.

While Dustpelt isn’t ace, no one in ThunderClan caught his eye except for Birchfall’s other bio parent, but because of the clans stigma and his own internal struggles with half-clan relations.

Ferncloud was aware of this relationship as Dustpelt was confiding with her about it, so when Dustpelt came to the nursery one night with three kits, she had a pretty good understanding straight away.

Thunderclan knew the kits weren’t Ferncloud’s but just like how her mother was allowed to keep the sire of her kits private, no one is allowed to insist on an answer.

Daisy’s family is mostly the same except for MINNOWMOUSE! Minnowtail and Mousewhisker have two daughters Spotfur and Flywhisker!

Spotfur still has her kits with Stemleaf, they’ll just be in Millie’s family tree.
