Omg I have been working non stop for this family !! I love them sm !! I tried to give every child a recurring genetic signature of their parents like the two eyebrows stripes from snowbird or her nose spot. For scorchfur, I gave his children his nose bridge spot, ear tufts for some and his overall head shape eheh !! I'm so so happy with the result

snowscorch family

I enjoy playing with family resemblance a lot, and wanted to get Sunbeam's family fully done because I kinda like the SnowScorch kin a lot

from left to right, top to bottom we have

Snowbird, Scorchfur, Beenose, Frondwhisker

Buster, Cloverfoot, Berryheart, Conefoot, Gullswoop

Sparrowtail, Sunbeam, Bluebellkit, Yarrowleaf

Spireclaw, Hollowspring, Needletail, Hopwhisker, Flaxfoot

under the cut I'll go a bit more in leght about these traits the family shares because I have thoughts lmao

first of all. to simplify my life and because it makes designing these cats a bit easier I decided that Scorchfur wouldn't be the father of Snow's first litter. All three of these cats are massive and fluffy in my head and while Snow is fluffy, she and Scorch aren't really shaped like I want these three to be, so their father is another unknown cat, who did give the three cats their gray/black colors (because they are NOT coming from Scorchfur <3)

I made Snowbird herself a caliby mostly to explain how she has all these gray/brown cats and then Yarrowleaf. I technically could've just said she was these colors underneath the white, but I did want it to show just a bit to not forget the colors. The browns appear again with Hopwhisker and Flaxfoot. All of her kids and grandkids inherited her white though, that's the one color they all share at least a little (aside from Hollowspring who Does His Own Thing)

Buster is a spikier version of Snowbird. he's got about the same fluff as her, but more unkempt. He's obviously also got a pine-shaped at as a kittypet because obviously he's gotta have one.

Cloverfoot (my beloved) probably looks a lot like that secret father they have, though her neck fluff is an extended version of Snowbird's wings. in general she's bulkier and rounder than Snow, thought not as round as

Berryheart. I have a very clear image of her in particular in my head. the round shapes, the tuxedo, the black spot on her muzzle, she's got it all and she's ready to cause trouble.

Sunbeam has the same build as Berryheart, but a little less drastic; most of Sunbeam's white are a less drastic version of Berryheart's too. She got her brown colors and tabby pattern from her father Sparrowtail though. I did also decide to give Sunbeam a little beard while giving Spireclaw some lashes (that you sadly can't see well) to toy a bit with gender

Spireclaw and Hollowspring both got their black from Berryheart, Spire also got the Snowbird White and his matches Berryheart's more, but not entirely.

Making Needletail match her family was honestly the harder part because she's got a pretty famous description that makes her quite different from the rest of the Snowkin, but thanks to Sparrow I managed to scrounge enough spiky-ness (alongside Snowbird's cheek fluff) to keep her appearance. she's also got the same gray as Cloverfoot's lightest gray.

now off to the real snowscorch kids: Beenose, Bluebellkit, Conefoot and Gullswoop are all mainly white like their mother, but with some variety. Bee's got a black that I got from Scorchfur's lineart color, and a smaller version of Snowbird's fluffs, Gullswoop got the tiniest amount of Snowbird's brown and her fluff spikes up. Conefoot is mainly white, but he took Scorchfur's lighter gray to make him more varied. his paw fluffs are currently unique to him, though I could easily make Shinepaw get them too. Bluebellkit then is genuinely just pure white and a rounder version of Snowbird.

Frondwhisker and Yarrowleaf are the last two kits and the two SnowScorch that have little white on them. Frond is just a tabby version of Scorch, based on the definitely there tabby stripes Snowbird has hidden under her white and Yarrowleaf took Snow's stripes too, but also her orange. She's also just a thinner version of Snowbird shape-wise.

Hopwhisker and Flaxfoot do technically have a father (Nettle), but I barely know him and I wanted them to be Snowkin too, so all their colors can be traced back to SnowScorch <3. Hopwhisker got some exaggerated fluff and her tail can be explained by Nettle, but her colors are genuinely just a more obvious calico with the same colors as Snow and Scorchfur's eyes. Flaxfoot has Snow's two browns, but also a darker one for his stripes that is a browner version of Scorchfur. His eyecolor is also not Snowkin, but his fluff sure is.

a fun thing the books wil sadly never explore in ASC (both because of it being so out of the focus of this arc plus how the Erin's probably forgot this family relation too) is how both Berryheart and Cloverfoot are deputies now. For those unaware, they are littermates, kits of Snowbird (and Scorchfur through weird retcons) and their other littermate is Buster, previously Rippletail of ShadowClan, who bailed after the fiasco of The Kin to become a kittypet.

It could be fun to think about what Cloverfoot thinks of all this mess Berryheart caused because that's still her littermate. She and Berryheart have the same position now, but in rival clans and Berry probably still resents Tigerstar a lot and RiverClan resents ShadowClan a lot, so tensions are definitely present.

A more focused approach on the Snowkin during ASC could be really interesting actually.

Snowbird is shown to be a member of Berryheart's group. Scorchfur probably too, but I don't have immediate access to the books to confirm it. So is Yarrowleaf, a kit of Snowbird's second litter and whose littermates either died as a kit (Bluebellkit) or were murdered by Darktail (Beenose).

Two kits of Snowbird's last litter also died right in the previous arc (Conefoot and Frondwhisker), leaving Gullswoop as the last member of that litter, that was born while the kin ruled ShadowClan. And Gullswoop also shows, although in a lighter form, this xenophobia towards Blazefire.

Berryheart obviously lost her first daughter to Darktail directly and also nearly died herself and rejoined ShadowClan with her new litter of kits. Yarrowleaf had a horrendous experience carrying the kits of Nettle and being rejected from SkyClan and the whole Sleekwhisker debacle.

All of them had bad experiences with the kin (Buster even left ShadowClan because of it) and while it doesn't excuse the extremism Berryheart's group has reached, there is something interesting that could be gotten out of this family and how they cope with the trauma of AVOS and TBC, both having made them suffer losses in their family and how this could have made them perceive everything that has happened around them since.

Sunbeam also fits nicely into this as a cat born outside of the trauma of the kin. She was born in a barn far away and only joined ShadowClan again once they were safe. She doesn't know what Berryheart went through and a more compassionate and deeper analysis of this family's relationship to the events of the kin could be fascinating. Alas I have too many projects to manage on my own already, but maybe this can inspire someone to also think about this family a bit and the dynamics that are left very unexplored in the books.

SCORCHFUR !!!! Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... The family tree is complete aaaaaaaah !! I have absolutly no opinion about this dude, he's just a bitter redneck in my head

[acid-waste]

I love problem starters characters in warrior cats yess do something that makes this interesting be shitty please or just be a killer plzz

[limepooll]

I know this is a writing mistake but why don't people talk about this?

I feel so bad for Scorchpaw, he got his warrior name when his kits were getting their apprentice name, wouldn't this count as SA if considered canon?
