🕸️ for Pigeonpaw - does this cutie have any currently living family members? :3

(Btw you are a severely underrated artist that deserves more attention. Like seriously, keep the work man)

I am so glad you asked, cause I was thinking about the Pidge family tree earlier

Loonleg & Moldbriar have had two litters, one in their 20s and one in their 50s. They’re your typical old couple who have spent an eternity together and are a little cooky.

Their first litter had 3 kits. Duckstorm is mute and spends most of their time working, as they find their most at peace when occupied. Wigeontail is also fairly quiet, but still enjoys a good game, though they’d rather commentate. Goosethroat is rather strict and stubborn, very focused on raising her kits to be good strong warriors. Sunnyflight balances her out as her headstrong and goofy husband.

Their second litter is Bright and Shaded! Y’all already know about them. Shaded gets on well with Wigeon, as the two enjoy philosophical talks about starclan. Bright is a lot like his dad, and he gets on really well with Sunnyflight, the three often take the kits out to play games.

Sunny and Goose only have one litter at the moment, but plan to have more in the future. Yall know Pigeon, he’s the runt of his litter and his bigger sisters pick on him a little. He’s also named after Wigeon, as they have similar fur. Robin is very loud and chaotic, and often plays pranks on the other cats, usually egged on by her dad and grandpa. Partridge is a lot like her momma, strong, quiet and determined, she also likes to hang out with Duckstorm.

Yall can ask questions about the Bird fam if you want, but they won’t really be that important in the story.

(Also thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot ^^)

Warm up sketches cause I haven’t drawn kitties in a while and was struggling (I’m currently trapped in the osc helpppp/j) I rly wanna draw the sheep clan cats more, they’re so silly… Applefall is so shape……

[shadow-in-the-blizzard]

Here is the first Birdclan cat, Shadedwren! I’ve changed her name from Shadepatch, cause it’s a little boring and I wanted to give Birdclan a specific naming convention! All Birdclan names relate back to the sky or birds, as they believe them to be holy. I didn’t do that many bonus sketches cause, ummmm, I didn’t rly have any fun stuff to add :(

Time for Shadedwren facts!!

Shadedwren is the medic who was chosen for this trip, as she was actually the one who saw the meteor crash

Shadedwren is Brightsky’s litter mate and Pigeonpaw aunt.

She is a trans woman 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

She is a very devout follower of their version of starclan (I’m still undecided on how their religion works) and actually works as the oracle for the clan. She is still very well versed in healing, but she focuses on the spiritual

Shadedwren takes this mission way more seriously than her companions because of this

She is mildly annoyed by Brightsky’s jovial attitude and wishes he’d be more serious about a quest from the gods, but she can’t stay mad at her brother

My boy!!!! I love Brightsky, he’s my blorbo. Despite him being the pfp, he is not the protagonist, I intend to switch between the characters pov’s, but Brightsky is one of my favourites. And he’s fun to draw

Bightsky facts!

Brightsky is Shadedwren’s littermate, and the uncle to pigeonpaw. He also mentors pigeonpaw and the two are quite a team

Brightsky is the type of guy to be positive in any scenario, glass half full

He knows Coldsight! Pigeonpaw and Lilacpaw are buddies, so they tend to hang around each other at gatherings. They’re not super close though

Him and his sister, Shadedwren, are polar opposites, in both name and personality. They get on very well though and are super close

Brightsky could have been deputy, but he didn’t have an apprentice at the time and was not legible for the position. However, his clan sees this quest as a time to prove himself for the position when it come around.

He is an amazing fighter, but prefers peaceful resolutions

He’s not dumb per say, but his heart definitely outweighs his brain

I know these cats don’t have much atm, but I’m a little curious what yall think of them all so far. Feel free to elaborate in reposts or comments, I would love to know your thoughts ^^
