#SaplingClan

[psystirene]

average saplingclan family

characters: in image one, Glintnight [he/him] and Gravelflake [she/her], in image two, Petaltooth [she/her], Rowanscreech [she/her], and Tadpolespeck [he/him] (< he's the screaming one); and image three is Glint again, Flitstar [she/any] and Rainsplash [he/him]

Glintnight is mates with Gravelflake and was also mates with Tadpolespeck before he died. Petaltooth is one of Glint and Gravel's six kits, and sees ghosts. Rainsplash is the adoptive father of Glintnight and fucking hated Tadpole for some reason (so did Flitstar). Tadpole got straight up murdered one day and nobody knows exactly who did it. But Flitstar and Rainsplash were NOT normal about it AT ALL

+ Tadpole was also Petaltooth's mentor, and Rowan was her apprentice

Part two of SaplingClan, my clan gen clan!

(more on ‘em under the cut)

Quillstripe

Quillstripe is a young, faithful and calculating warrior that is always observing and thinking about his next move. Some cats find him unsettling because he always seems to think about every outcome, preferring to be one step ahead of you at all times. He's a charming tomcat that keeps to himself mostly but if he does form friendships they are strong and last a long time. He believes strongly in StarClan and their power, often muttering common phrases to do with their ancestors such as may StarClan light your path" and "StarClan help me." He's one of the oldest members of SaplingClan.

Coalshade

Coalshade was a recent addition to the clan, she joined as an injured former kittypet that got taken in and healed up, growing to be an excellent speaker being able to rally the clan behind Robinstar when things get tough. The two she's are close as a result and are often seen together relaxing. She's also a beautiful Molly that Quillstripe definitely has his eyes on.

Wolfgleam

Wolfgleam is bright and loving, checking in on ever cat to make sure that they're okay. After the loss of her mate and kits to twoleg intervention she wandered aimlessly in grief until Wildfeather found her and offered her a place to stay in exchange for shelter and loyalty. Ever since the two have been inseparable and everyone secretly considers her as the clan's mom, so if you get her mad you know you've messed up.

Lyre-eye

Lyre-eye is the oldest member of SaplingClan and proudly, it's only mediator. Being about elder aged the tomcat spends most of his time in camp smoothing over petty disputes to all out fights between clanmates all whilst keeping his own cool when some of the younger warriors are being bee brained and annoying. He has a good relationship with Firkit and Marigoldsplash who often hang out together.

Firkit

Firkit is the youngest member of the clan and he's the most pampered being Robinstars only surviving kit. He's very inquisitive and cute, asking questions about anything he sees and craving as much knowledge as possible. His mother spends a lot of time with him and he's starting to grow bored of being constantly shadowed by a helicopter parent, wanting an adventure.

Pheasantspots

Pheasantspots is sly, sneaky and confident whilst still being a great fighter. Pheasantspots is a new addition to the clan, being found sick as an abandoned kittypet on the clan’s border. Now that he has had time to recover, he’s been a useful part of the clan though some might say he’s a very specific type of cat that is hard to like at first. Margioldsplash and him especially have an awful relationship.

[waspclan]

It took a quarter-moon of nagging, but Bouncerumble’s finally convinced Buzzardfur to travel to the Moonfalls. Shining water crashes from the cliff to the riverbed below, creating an almost deafening clamor that has him wondering how medicine cats can stand coming here every half-moon. He sighs and shakes off the thought, but what floods into his brain next is even worse: how does he deserve this? Why him? What do the others see in him? This can’t be the right choice. Still, if Bouncerumble is so convinced that StarClan will grant him nine lives …

After a long walk—during which Buzzardfur nearly slips on the wet rocks multiple times—Bouncerumble comes to an abrupt stop next to a fallen tree trunk that spans the river. “Sit,” they say, and Buzzardfur does, staring into the water that sparkles beneath Silverpelt.

“This is the place?” 

Buzzardfur winces at his own stupid questions, but Bouncerumble simply nods. “Touch your nose to the water,” they instruct, “and let your mind be free. StarClan will visit you. I know they will.”

Buzzardfur is still dubious as he crouches down next to the river, but he obeys nonetheless. 

It doesn’t happen right away, but it doesn’t take too long, either. One moment, all he sees is the inside of his eyelids; the next, Buzzardfur finds himself in the center of a grassy clearing, his fur drenched in silvery starlight. He looks down at the ground and rubs one paw against the thick grass beneath it; he knows—thinks—he hasn’t physically moved, but it feels as real as the wet rock had just a few moments ago. 

Why is he alone, though? Where is everyone? Surely some cat is supposed to be here to greet him—nine of them, if they’re planning on giving him his nine lives. But …

“Buzzardfur.”

Buzzardfur starts, the fur on his back raising, and whips around, but when he sees who it is, his haunches settle. It’s nobody he knows, he thinks, not even anyone he’s seen at a gathering, but somehow, the cat who’s greeted him—a small, silvery-white tom with black swirls in his fur—is familiar, like an old friend. “You’re … Do I know you?” he asks, and the other cat smiles gently.

“Not yet.” The other cat shakes his head, though the smile remains. “I’m here to watch over you and the cats you lead. My name is Lambheart.”

“Lambheart,” Buzzardfur repeats. “Are you … are you from the original WaspClan?”

The smile on Lambheart’s face falters. “I was, yes,” he says after a beat, a hint of sadness in his voice. “It was a good clan when I knew it. We were …” He shakes his head. “No, that’s not what I’m here to talk about. There’s a new WaspClan, Buzzardfur, and I want to help give you the power to lead it.”

Buzzardfur’s questions are still myriad, but he doesn’t protest, as much as he wants to. “Right. I’m ready,” he lies, and shuts his eyes.

When Lambheart touches his nose to his forehead, Buzzardfur hardly has a moment to register it before a wave of intensity washes over him. There’s no other word to describe it: it’s not a good feeling or a bad one, just … intense. Over the pounding over his heart in his ears, he makes out Lambheart’s words: “Take this gift, to help you endure in the face of hardship.”

Buzzardfur opens his mouth to reply, but finds himself speechless. When he manages to open his eyes, he finds himself surrounded by wispy, starry figures in the shape of cats. Some of them are strangers, but some he recognizes—his sister Stripekit, who’d died of redcough; his father’s best friend, Wolftooth, who’d been slain by a SaplingClan warrior. His voice fails as he tries to call out to them, but just seeing them fills him with warmth.

“We grant you your remaining eight lives,” they say, a chorus of meows filling the air. Over and over, Buzzardfur is hit with swirls of energy, stronger than anything he’s ever felt before. “Use them well, with our blessing.”

The StarClan cats’ voices are still echoing in his mind when Buzzardstar opens his eyes—his real ones this time. He stares at the star-speckled water of the Moonfalls, breathing heavy. Buzzardstar, Buzzardstar, Buzzardstar!

“Buzzardstar?” Bouncerumble asks, and the voices fall silent.

Buzzardstar shakily gets to his paws, feeling both exhausted and more alive than ever, and tilts up his head to stare at the glistening sky. “Let’s go home,” he says, and for just a moment, a burst of pride flickers in his heart.

my other 2 saplingclan artworks from a few days ago

Petaltooth and her ex-apprentice Redpaw/Redsky after Petaltooth's early retirement, and a drawing of the way she sees her sister Caveshade I suppose. Caveshade had killed their stepfather Tadpolespeck due to the seniors' manipulation, and the leader covered it up, but Petaltooth knows what her sister did- and is haunted by visions of Tadpole and the guilt that she carries due to being unable to expose Caveshade.

^- best I can explain w/o getting too far into it teehee

Clan Gen Characters!

(more on them under the cut!)

Robinstar

Robinstar is a young, watchful leader always wanting to know what’s happening in her clan. She’s strict with policies and gives fair punishments to those that disobey them. Robinstar only wants the best for her clan and will put it before anything else, demonstrated in the impressive amount of patrols she goes on per day just to be sure her clan is kept well defended and fed. She prefers more diplomatic approaches with outsiders, believing they should get a fair chance to be heard before they get sent away or let in.

Wildfeather 

Wildfeather is an energetic, sweet and caring part of SaplingClan, taking the position of deputy as per Robinstar’s request. She works hard to prove herself and constantly is trying to learn from Robinstar so that she can one day be as good a leader as she is. Wildfeather is a bit on the duller side of the clever spectrum but believes in her clan wholeheartedly to face any challenge thrown their way.

Marigoldsplash

Marigoldsplash is a young cat, considered strange and overly spiritual by most, while still being snappy and brisk. He has strong opinions and isn’t afraid to voice them as SaplingClan’s only medicine cat. He has a good relationship with the leader who tries to reel him in when he goes too far with his bad temper. Other than that though, he’s a phenomenal healer that takes pride in seeing his clan grow and develop further.

Canaryscar

Canaryscar is a thoughtful warrior that enjoys thinking things over and trying to solve mysteries such as why the twolegs go inside their monsters or why the sun hides in the night to reveal the moon. That said, he’s very risky and overly ready to pick a fight with a cat he believes has wronged either him or his clan unfortunately earning him his scars. Canaryscar doesn’t mind though, he sees these scars as hardships and battles he’s overcome and wears them with pride. Marigoldsplash calls him loyal to a fault which he denies profusely. After all, if you can’t agree with every decision your leader makes what kind of leader are they?

I’ll post a part two on the rest of this clan later, find them on my blog under the tag  #SaplingClan

A Meeting With Starclan (2/2)

Volestar is now leader of Saplingclan

Some probably needed context that I should have put more blatant is that Honeypaw is from their old clan and was Volestar's best friend. Could I still make that more obvious somehow? Totally but I'm lazy and already drawing moon 30 so... >.>'
