Allegiances Part 3 —— The Apprentices

Sunpaw || 10 moons || Strict (Mentor: Hazelroach)

Sunpaw considers himself disciplined, his sister prefers the word uptight. Even without knowing his mother, he picked up on the grief of those around him and seemed to internalize it. He is accustomed to harsh expectations, and harsh realities. He was apprenticed to Hazelroach in an attempt to curve both of their personalities towards equilibrium, and the two get along surprisingly well.

Goldpaw || 10 moons || Shameless (Mentor: Mistyspots)

Goldpaw reminds the clan of her mother, bright and big to the point of foolishness. While her brother internalized the grief of their mother’s death, Goldpaw took it upon herself to fill the space she once took and live up to her memory. This caused a rift between her and her father, who had trouble separating his anger over his mate’s death with his complicated feelings for the new kits he had to raise. Lightstar apprenticed Goldpaw to her father in an effort to heal their bond, but while Goldpaw works hard to earn her father’s approval, he always seems to expect more than she can give.

Allegiances Part 1 —— The Leadership

Warmstar || 140 M || Righteous

Warmstar spent dedicated his life to the clan, at the expense of living it. Well within his rights to retire, Warmbreak had been about to retire before the blizzard struck. When they finally reached their new home, Lightstar was nowhere to be found. After receiving his nine lives, Warmstar put aside any plans for retirement and dedicated his life once again to building up their new clan. Warmstar never had time for a family of his own, instead treating the clan as his family. He is ready to lay down each and every one of his lives for them.

Moonspeck || 15 M || Charasmatic

Moonspeck didn’t expect to be named deputy, she was young and her former apprentice never made it to be a warrior. Yet when the blizzard came, Moonspeck rose to the occasion. If not for her efforts to raise the spirits of their clanmates, their already small group would have been even smaller. The respect she earned on the journey led to Warmstar’s decision, though there are some who secretly resent the decision. Moonspeck’s older sister gave birth only a few moons ago, but in her recovery was unable to make the journey. Moonspeck insured that her kits made it instead, and has adopted them as her own.

Lightpounce || 65 M || Thoughtful

Lightpounce has always been odd. As a young kit, he could be found in the nursery sitting near the entrance at night talking to the stars, or quietly observing as the other kits played. It wasn’t much of a surprise when Flurryspeckle took Lightpaw as an apprentice. He took to the role naturally, and it quickly became clear that the young medicine cat could communicate with Starclan in a way few others could. Before the blizzard, Lightpounce’s dreams were filled with white visions and freezing nightmares, but the clan was confident their home would keep them safe. It didn’t matter much in the end. Flurryspeckle died only minutes after making it to their new home, and for the first time in his life, Lightpounce’s dreams were silent. It was almost as if Starclan had been lost in the storm as well.

The last few leafbares have been colder and harsher than ever before, but this one was different. A monster blizzard swept through the valley, and without the trees to show the wind the cold and snow turned deadly. Of the once thriving clan, only a handful of cats has made it up the mountain to safety, and if that wasn’t enough, Starclan seems empty. Perhaps we really did travel too far.

Welcome to another clangen blog, these have always looked fun so I thought I’d give it a go. I’m hoping this will help me improve my visual storytelling and in general help me practice art more. If you see any typos or spelling errors please let me know! And keep an eye out for potential opportunities to help influence the story. I’m hoping to incorporate readers into this story.

Allegiances Part 4 —— The Kits

Ibiskit || 4 M || Lonesome (Adoptive Mother: Moonspeck)

Wispkit || 4 M || Troublesome (Adoptive Mother: Moonspeck)

Ibiskit and Wispkit was born to Moonspeck’s older sister and an unknown father. Still weak from kitting, their mother was unable to make the journey to their new home. Moonspeck promised to watch after them, taking on the responsibility of a new role and new kits. Ibiskit and Wispkit look up to their aunt, but rely on each other more than anyone else.

Clovekit || 3 M || Noisy

Clovekit is the youngest surviving member of the former clan. Her family was lost in the storm, and Clovekit only survived when Warmstar dug her out of the collapsed nursery. Yet despite having no formal caretaker, Clovekit has truly become a child of the clan, with every cat looking out for the bright eyed little kit.

Allegiances Part 2 —— The Warriors

Mistyspots || 93 M || Loyal

Mistyspots can always be counted on to work harder and longer than anyone else, expecting nothing but the best from himself and those around him. Loyalty to his clan and the warrior code has always been important, but after the death of his mate, loyalty became everything. The two he expects the most from are his own kits, though his relationship with them is complicated. It surprised many when Mistyspots was not named deputy of the newly established Iceclan, but Warmstar had seen how far into himself Mistyspots could retreat, and made the choice to leave him as the senior warrior instead.

Hazelrun || 19 M || Sneaky

Hazelrun can be defined by his quick legs and quicker wit. While his habits of exploring where he shouldn’t often cause contention, he was able to provide valuable insight on the best way up the mountain and where to find shelter. Hazelrun has a deep love of new things, and while the death of their clan has been hard, he’s focused on finding ways to make their new situation brighter. Even if it means poking around where he shouldn’t.
