#It's sad that the writers don't have One Guy to track the tree

Which Clan‘s family tree/genetic diversity is the worst? Which is the best?
Shadowclan is a fucking pretzel. It's so bad I wasn't able to save it. I was able to fix ThunderClan with some sacrifices, but ShadowClan is utterly, completely fucked.
Even before making any fixes, I had to map out the tree for Modern ShadowClan and Yellowfang's Secret. It's obscene. The tree from Yellowfang's Secret is DEAD, which created a grotesque genetic bottleneck.
There's 21 active warriors in modern ShadowClan and 11 of them are directly tied to Snowbird.
Sunbeam does not HAVE any male options she could possibly have non-inbred kittens with except Blazefire OR HER MENTOR, OR her mentor's brother.
It's bad. It's bad bad bad bad.
The best tree genetically is WindClan... but that's not a compliment either. It's full of 'orphan warriors' with unknown parents who came out of nowhere; and ALL of those orphan warriors are male.
Shellfur took the ONE clean molly out of WindClan for himself.
But... anyway... to fix the WindClan family tree, you just need change the parents of Onestar OR Ashfoot. You can even eliminate ALL instances of inbreeding by also changing the parents of Deadfoot or Sorrelshine. Very, very easy tree to fix.
#In order of WORST to BEST is; ShadowClan ThunderClan RiverClan SkyClan WindClan#Family tree#warrior cats family tree#It's sad that the writers don't have One Guy to track the tree#it really wouldn't be hard to just. have a set of rules like I do and check to make sure you're not saturating the tree with one family#75% of all tree problems come down to one character having too many reproductive kits of their own#If they JUST limited TWO kits per couple going on to have kits of their own it would be so much better#But instead they tend to have families like SnowScorch or LionCinder decimate the gene pool once per generation#And even when they DONT like with WindClan or SkyClan they seem to go out of their way to put cousins together??#It's gross. I don't like it.#They also have a penchant for deciding that the cleanest possible characters just don't want kits. That's happened thrice in ThunderClan.#Twigbranch Mousefur Mousewhisker#And like I respect the characters for not wanting kits of course BUT#As a writing choice? It's very frustrating that it's ALWAYS the ones that aren't inbred.
