#Snow Fox Apprentice

[ratrrriot]

Do you have any sonic ocs? (Or ocs in general, haha) (totally not asking so I can make fanart, nahhhh….)

The fact that you are considering drawing my OCS when you haven't even seen them yet is very flattering,thank you!!

these are from when i was in highschool lol

This is Spark, They are a Tetraplegic Chao Cream found and brought to Tails,who successfully managed to build a fully functional mechanical body for them to play with. This robot body is connected to their brain and can even fly.

Spark lives at Tail's workshop and they’re clearly very fond of Cream -who regularly visits them to play- and Tails.

Originally,Tails was going to design Spark’s robot body based on his own (for trademark reasons) but since Cream was Spark's “owner” (for lack of a better term referring to someone who takes care of a chao) ,she wanted to participate in the designing part and gave him a few crayon drawings of rabbits, which were so cute that Tails simply had to include them in the final design. This is why they look like a Fox/Rabbit hybrid. (it also makes sense since Spark sees them both as some sort of older siblings)

ofc Spark isn't always inside their robot body,Tails takes them in and out everyday.

Aaand these are some apprentices I designed for the Babylon Rogues! Tundra,Velvet and Ember. They love snowboarding and are developing their skills at Extreme Gear Racing. They kinda need some redesigning...

These three are orphans. They used to live at an orphanage situated in a small town near Snow Valley. Unsatisfied with their lives there (and that nobody seemed to be interested in adopting them) they ran away around the age of 12 to try and start new lifes on their own,resorting to thievery and trickery to get by. Life was hard and unfair for three kids growing up in the snowy streets,but thanks to Velvet's determination,Ember's charisma and Tundra's intelligence they managed to survive. After a year of wandering,they stole 3 snowboards and started practicing the sport ,with the hopes that one day they would become famous professionals who didn't need to resort to stealing. However,by they age of 16, they hadn't just developed great skill and love for what they now consider "the art of thievery" - and a liking for equipment and luxuries most can't afford- but they also had lost all interest on the "safer" version of snowboarding and became addicted to the speed and the danger of racing.

They set on a journey to find their childhood idols: The babylon Rogues, a group of legendary thieves that they heard tales about back at the orphanage's storytime and who's Extreme Gear skills were what originally inspired them to try snowboarding. They traveled far and wide searching for them and once they managed to find Wave,Jet and Storm,they begged them to teach them their ways . After annoying them enough (and practically not letting them alone lol) the trio of professionals finally agreed to train them.

VELVET THE NORTHERN CARDINAL:

Energic,Peppy,Sassy,Optimistic,laid-back and confident. A speed junkie and a little bit of a clown. The fastest of the trio. Jet is his Idol and he'll do anything to impress him. Tries to annoy Sonic to imitate his teacher,but he actually thinks he is the coolest guy around after Jet. He has a big heart and doesn't seem to hate Sonic -or anyone -at all,but he does enjoy some friendly banter at the moment of competing. Jet likes him a lot and is kinda proud of him but he tries not to show it ,as he doesn't want the kid (or himself) to get attached or to think he'll actually pass to him his "Master of the wind" title someday.

The gem-shaped-computer on his neck was a gift he received from Wave after she updated her own and didn't know what to do with her old one. According to her,she handed it down to him cause "it matched his feathers". Now,feeling honored by one of his idols,he wears it with pride.

EMBER THE COCKATIEL:

Cheeky, Rebellious, Brave, Impulsive and Loyal. Doing tricks in the air like its nothing is her specialty. Cares a lot about her looks and is an expert at the art of deception. She is also can be a little bit of meanie. She and Wave share a sister-like kind of relationship. Since they both have strong personalities, they fight a lot and she tends to disobey her,espeally when it comes to the times she tries to teach her about mechanics and "the boring part" of Extreme Gear personalization. However, they always make up and end up gossiping at the end of the day.

TUNDRA THE CRESTED PENGUIN :

Silent, cold, shy, serious, a bit competitive and incredibly smart. Expert at strategizing and finding shortcuts while racing. Has high expectations of himself and doesn't handle failure very well. Being the oldest by a year,he is very protective of his adoptive siblings. Unlike Wave and Jet,Storm didn't have to be convinced to take him under his wing cause he liked the kid since the moment he showed up. tho he is trying to teach him to live a little and be a bit more impulsive at the moment of racing.

Charred Legacy: Chapter Sixteen

(AO3 counterpart here.)

Would the humans never go away?

Fireheart had to admit to his own building frustration as each night had the same answer to if the Clan could go back home: they could not, because the cars and humans were still in the forest. Each announcement from whoever scouted over the moorland elicited a louder and louder communal groan. They could all be grateful for the warm air in the Barn as the slush became snow that did not touch their temporary home, but even that was thinning their patience with how stuffy it could get.

What was also thinning quickly was the rodent population in the Barn. Every night it became steadily more challenging to find a mouse—the wisest of them had hid all this time and were not inclined to be discovered just because there was more room for them to wander. Granted, the added difficulty wore out the apprentices and warriors quicker, giving them all something to spend their energy on. Though, as Fireheart thought with every meal, he’d love to spend that energy on finding a mole or bird.

Bluestar and Speckletail allowed cats to walk around outside after the wrestling between apprentices got too loud and frequent, with the caveat that apprentices were to stay with a warrior at all times. To Fireheart’s disappointment, the kits were not included, and the two litters were stuck inside as the rest of the Clan got to explore the farmland.

“I’m sorry, little guy,” Fireheart said to Cloudkit as he prepared to go out with Greystripe. “I wish I could take you with me.”

Cloudkit, to his credit, did not pout about it as much as he could have. He just looked at the ground with a sigh.

Fireheart gave him a friendly nudge with a paw. “I’ll try to find something fun to bring back for you and your siblings. Is that alright?”

The fluffy kit perked up a little and nodded. “‘Kay. Make it really fun.”

Fireheart used the same paw to ruffle his nephew’s head-fur. “I’ll do my best.”

Bramblekit came up beside Cloudkit, glancing at Bluestar as she flinched walking by him. “What kinda fun will it be?”��

Fireheart ignored the look on Bluestar’s face and said, “It’s a surprise. Try to guess before I come back.” 

He turned and trotted away, catching up to Greystripe, and the pair strode off to the Barn’s right.

“I feel bad for the kits,” Greystripe said, shaking a snowflake off of his nose. “If I’m bored, I can only imagine how they’re doing.”

Fireheart opened his mouth and caught a snowflake of his own, taking a pause to marvel at the ice turning to water on his tongue before answering. “And even if they could go outside, there’s not much to do here. I mean, I know we kind of do the same thing every day at home, but…”

“We get to at least travel all over the place wherever we choose,” Greystripe replied. “And we do it a lot—hunting or marking borders or chasing off foxes—which means the nights we get to stay home and relax are so much sweeter, don’t you think?”

“You have a point.” Fireheart’s paw scraped at the very, very thin layer of snow on the ground. “I hope the humans leave soon.”

Greystripe grumbled, “They better. I don’t even know what they think they’re doing in there. The fire’s out.”

“I still think they’re looking for the dogs.”

“For this long? And they wouldn’t have caught them by now?”

“Well…” Fireheart started, before his eyes drifted over to a pair of cats ahead and to the left. “Ask him.”

“Get him to argue your point for you, sure,” Greystripe said with a friendly (restrained) nudge, and then called, “Hey, Ravenwing!”

Their friend looked up from watching Snowpaw pat and scoop at the snow and frozen earth. “Oh, hi. Where are you two going?”

“Just seeing if there’s anything out here that isn’t a mouse.” Greystripe led the way up to him. “Is this a new training tactic?”

Ravenwing gave Greystripe a dry look. “He’s exploring snow for the first time.”

Snowpaw seemed to just now notice the older toms. He straightened up and gestured with a twitch of his fur, something that Fireheart faintly remembered to mean “cold”, to which he nodded. He used a paw to point to Snowpaw and then to the white-dappled ground: that’s you. Snowpaw gleefully nodded back and scooped at the snow again, pulling it towards him in a molehill-lump.

“I’m glad that he’s enjoying himself,” Greystripe said, giving the little tom a fond look.

“Well!”

Eyes turned to Barley, round and smelling like strange meat, as he trotted over to them from the direction of the house. His patched fur, short though it was, flared out merrily.

“That’s the first time I’ve seen a cat like the snow,” he continued. “I sure hope he doesn’t get tired of it—he’s perfect for hunting in this weather.”

Ravenwing huffed a short chuff and turned to his apprentice again. “He’s going to need that coat, yeah. Hunting outside of the Barn is tough enough as it is.”

Barley blinked, then caught on and sighed sympathetically. “Ah, you’ve gotten the fever. Sick of mice, I take it?”

“A little,” Greystripe said. “Isn’t there anything else out here?”

“Well, sort of, but you don’t have to hunt it.” Barley turned around, gesturing with his tail for the warriors to follow.

Ravenwing nudged Snowpaw, getting his attention again, and was the first to go after Barley. Fireheart and Greystripe walked together, and Fireheart frowned as he sniffed the scent coming off of the loner.

What is that? he thought, narrowing his eyes. I could swear I’ve smelled it before…

He got his answer quickly, when Barley took a turn and trotted for a pair of dishes on the outside wall of the Barn. One dish had kibble in it, and the other had several slabs of pale meat. They were raw and fresh, and they smelled so familiar…

“Chicken!” Barley announced proudly. He took a step back, clearing the path to the food. “I only had one chunk myself. By all means, have at.”

Fireheart chanced a look at his friends, predicting their stunned and revolted faces.

“This is from your humans, isn’t it?” Greystripe said, grimacing. “There’s no way I’m eating that.”

Snowpaw tapped Ravenwing and signaled ‘prey’, tilting his head. Ravenwing shook his and said to Barely, “Er, we appreciate the offer, but… I think we’d all prefer natural-caught food.”

Barley, surprisingly, did not look remotely bothered. He rolled a broad shoulder. “Ah, well. I thought I’d offer. Didn’t want it to go to waste. Surely someone’s hungry enough to eat this, though.”

Fireheart thought for a moment. “Greystripe, help me bring some of this to the kits. They won’t mind it’s not mouse.”

“Seriously?” Greystripe squinted at his friend.

“Seriously,” Fireheart said breezily, and maneuvered past Barley to chomp down on a rather thick slab of meat, pulling it away from the bowl. He didn’t wait for Greystripe, just trotted off back in the direction of the doorway, not wanting to admit that the taste of the chicken was good enough to almost make him eat it himself. Going by the surprised noise Greystripe made, he had the same reaction.

Ravenwing and Snowpaw trailed behind as Fireheart entered the Barn, Greystripe now at his side. He called wordlessly and dropped the meat down at his paws, which Greystripe copied, and waved his tail in greeting as the kits waded through and around a pile of hay to investigate, Goldenflower behind them.

“Got a special treat for you, kits!” Fireheart said cheerfully. “Are you hungry?”

A few squeaks of eagerness, and Cloudkit led the charge as they crowded around the chicken and started biting into it without even sniffing it. Fireheart purred, watching their tails wag.

“What is this, honeymouse?” Goldenflower circled the kits and greeted Fireheart with a headbump. “It doesn’t smell like anything I know.”

“Barley’s humans threw out some extra meat for him,” Fireheart said, and just as she opened her mouth, he added, “I know, it’s from humans, but he’s not going to eat it all and it’d be silly to let food go to waste in winter.”

Goldenflower shut her mouth again with a sigh through her nose, though her eyes were affectionate. “Very well, then.”

“��Wh’zi?” Cloudkit asked, chomping on a chunk.

“It’s called ‘chicken’,” Fireheart replied. “It’s a meat only kittypets eat, because it’s given to them.”

Cloudkit’s rich blue eyes widened, surprised and intrigued. He swallowed his mouthful. “You mean they don’t hunt for food?”

“Right. They just eat what they get.” Fireheart caught the start of a grimace on Goldenflower’s face and hurriedly added, “But their food isn’t very good anyway. It’s way better to hunt.”

Cloudkit hummed thoughtfully as he took another bite.

“Well, at least they have something to distract them,” Brindleface said sleepily, yawning as she came around the corner to join the kits and matriarch. “Don’t tell Dustpelt you got them this, he’ll be furious.”

“About what?” Swiftpaw asked as he popped up around the outside of the door, trotting in with Lizardtail and nearly bumping into Ravenwing just ahead of them. When Fireheart gestured to the kits, he had a briefly confused look at what they were eating before saying, “Oh, yeah, don’t tell him about that. Barley offered me some of that stuff earlier, actually.”

“He didn’t take it,” Lizardtail said, in a tone like that was something to be proud of.

Fireheart decided not to comment on that, instead asking, “Did you go out to hunt too?”

Swiftpaw grumbled a sigh. “And there wasn’t anything out there.”

Lizardtail looked at his apprentice humorously, saying to Fireheart, “He’s trying to prove he’s ready for his assessment.” He tapped Swiftpaw with his tail. “Apparently, catching a lot of prey is the qualifier.”

“Something’s gotta be!” Swiftpaw gave his mentor a frustrated scowl. “You even said yourself that it’s about time for me to get my name! I know we’re not at home, but for crying out loud…!”

“Easy, easy.” Lizardtail gave a ‘quiet’ gesture with his paw. “Your sister doesn’t have a name either.”

“And it’s time for her, too!”

“Well, sometimes seer apprentices take longer.”

Swiftpaw grumbled again. Fireheart watched as his paws tip-tapped and his claws poked at the hard ground. Even with the appearance of mere eagerness to get his name, his jaw was clicking a bit and his tail-fur stuck out.

You just want a distraction while you’re not at home, Fireheart thought sympathetically.

“We’re all a little frustrated and bored,” he said aloud. “I get it. I’d love to see Swiftpaw get his name here, honestly. Think of that: he’d be the only cat in ThunderClan to have his ceremony where humans could see.”

Lizardtail’s lip twitched in distaste. “They better not peep in. We’ve been lucky that they haven’t bothered us.”

“Oh, they looked in here,” Goldenflower said, and though her voice was gentle as ever, her claws sank into the straws. “Earlier, when you all were gone.”

“They didn’t come in, at least,” Brindleface said. “Just looked and then left.”

Greystripe finally spoke up with a snort. “Hey, Swiftpaw, maybe your assessment can be chasing the humans away.”

“I could totally do that.” Swiftpaw chuffed even with the overly confident tone. “They’d see skinny old me and pelt it for their house.”

“You’re not that skinny anymore,” Lizardtail said, gently pushing at Swiftpaw’s side. “Ravenwing is way thinner than you. And you’re not fighting any humans.”

“I could fight Terror right now,” Swiftpaw said, nudging Lizardtail back. “A human’s nothing for an assessment.”

“What’s Terror?” Ashkit asked, lifting his head from what remained of the chicken.

“Oh—” Swiftpaw looked down at him, calming down immediately. “It’s a spirit. Uh, a scary one. It shows up as the most frightening thing you can imagine. Kind of a test, I think.”

“Ohhhh,” Ashkit said, blinking blankly. He tilted his head. “Why’s it test you?”

“A ‘test’ is a way to put it, I guess,” Ravenwing said, adding to Ashkit, “In stories, a lot of cats have to face it down and overcome their fear to continue on their quest. It could be a monster, or a Titan, or a human, or an owl. Whatever scares you the most, it sees, and it turns itself into.”

Aspenkit mumbled something nervously, but Ashkit puffed out his chest. “Well, I’m not afraid of nothing. I can fight it!”

Brindleface nosed his ear. “You don’t fight Terror, baby. You just have to be very brave and stand your ground.”

Tawnykit squinted. “That doesn’t sound very hard.”

“It’s harder when it’s the thing that scares you the most,” Ravenwing said, and gave a dark imitation of Yellowfang’s smirk, muttering seemingly to himself, “I’d love to see my Terror. Big stupid ball of judgement.”

Greystripe bumped his head on Ravenwing’s shoulder. “You’re lucky the thing doesn’t exist, then.”

“It totally exists!” Swiftpaw exclaimed, looking shocked. “Why else would we have stories about it?”

“RiverClan’s got poems about talking squirrels,” Greystripe scoffed. “You don’t say those are real.”

“RiverClan’s dumb,” Swiftpaw said, missing Fireheart’s instant frown. “But everyone talks about Terror. WindClan, ShadowClan, everyone. It’s real.”

“I see it every day,” Ravenwing murmured to Fireheart.

Fireheart turned his head away from watching Greystripe and Swiftpaw argue to whisper back, “I don’t think you see it as much as you used to.”

Ravenwing opened his mouth like he was about to make another sardonic remark, then closed his mouth and turned his eyes to Snowpaw, who was sniffing at the remains of the chicken.

“No,” he said quietly. “I don’t. You’re right.”

Warmth—pride, really—bloomed in Fireheart’s chest and he mimicked Greystripe’s headbump to Ravenwing’s other shoulder. “You’re like a whole new cat these days, you know that? It’s amazing.”

Ravenwing made a very soft and calm version of a splutter. “I don’t know…”

“Would you, as an apprentice, have been able to even try and talk to Snowpaw, much less teach him anything?” Fireheart said. “Or tell a story to everyone in the Clan? Or…”

Or expose murders in a trial?

Fireheart swallowed that thought. “Or anything, really? You were too afraid to even talk to Greystripe when I met you.”

He gauged Ravenwing’s eyes, which had turned contemplative. His face was completely serene—something Fireheart didn’t think he’d ever see in his life.

“I just mean to say I’m proud of you,” he added. “We all are, but me and Greystripe especially.”

Ravenwing twitched his whiskers, his eyes still on his apprentice, tussling with Cloudkit.

“Thanks,” he said, and purred under his breath.

Jiǔwěihúlí/Jiuweihuli - The Nine Tailed Vixen

By the way; Wukong in "The Monkey King and the Infant"/TMKATI au isnt the only monkey getting an adoptive parental figure >:3

Went down a little of a Huli jing rabbit-hole after recieveing this ask from @dorothygale123:

And while researching Jin and Yin in the book, I realised some stuff;

In "Journey to the West", the Jin and Yin's mother is frequently described as "aged/old madam", making it likely that she had them in the demon equivalent of middle-age.

Here's the poetry Wukong jots down (he does that alot in the book) when he sees her for the first time;

"Snow-white hair all tousled,

And starlike eyes all aglow.

Her face, though ruddy, has many wrinkles;

She‟s full of spirit though few teeth remain.

Charming—like the frosted chrysanthemum;

Rugged—like an old pine tree after rain.

A scarf of fine-spun white silk wraps her head,

And bejeweled gold rings hang from her ears"

For some odd reason, the monkey cries at the sight of her (his excuse being that he has to bow to her while disguised as a servant). Then he abruptly bonks her and her servants while travelling before stealing her divine Binding Gold Rope and disgusing himself as her to trick her sons. And of course the whole Calabash incident happens, the boys uncle calls down an army of fox demons to fight the pilgrims, and Lao Tzu has to show up and smack his lab assistants across the head.

Which leaves the question... how does Lao Tzu know the kids of a random fox lady???

Well you see, in the Han-era (206 BCE - 220 CE); Xiwangmu was often depicted with a white-furred Huli Jing among her ladies-in-waiting. But any worship of fox-deities was out-lawed in the Song dynasty (960 CE - 1279 CE) due to a cult religion that worshipped Su Daji (of the "Investiture of the Gods/Fengshen Yanyi" fame).

So my idea for Jiuweihuli in the extended LMK-verse, is that she's was once Xiwangmu's og bestie, even long before the celestial tigress became Empress. The fox being among many chaotic and infernal spirits in the future Queen Mother's posse.

Upon the abdication of Yuanshi Tianzun as the Divine Emperor; Jiuweihuli would assist the future-Jade Emperor in his ascension to the throne, gaining her the titles "Dragon-Crushing/Supressing Vixen" due to her defeating multiple draconic rivals in battle.

For many centuries, Jiuweihuli and her family were welcome members of the Imperial Court. The older vixen having a position almost equal to a head consort despite her and the Emperor not having such interest in eachother.

Then the Investiture crisis happened...

Within years, all that Jiuweihuli had built in the Celestial Realm crumbled. The actions of Su Daji soured opinion of the Celestials towards all fox spirits. Jiuweihuli was forced to be exiled from the Jade Palace down to Earth to prevent her being killed in an angry mob.

Penniless, alone, and with only her trusty pipa to her name; Jiuweihuli would travel and sing.

Eventually she gained a reputation as a grand preformer, drawing in audiences and tudis alike. Most of her trainees were unaware of her true nature, and those who did kept it quiet - drama kids loved the tragedy of the vixen's tale and would sing it throughout opera houses.

And one day, some time after the Monkey King tore through Heaven; Jiuweihuli gained a very unusual apprentice.

Jiuweihuli, sitting at her vanity table: "You look familiar." Macaque, stepping out of the shadows: "I was once the attendant to Princess Iron Fan, but I believe both of our places in the court have been absolved." Jiuweihuli: "Oh yeah, I went to that wedding. Had to wear a glamour. Is that Bull prince treating her right?" Macaque: "He is. He was even willing to sacrifice his place in his own court for her." Jiuweihuli: "Ah. Young love. But what brings you here?" Macaque, sheepishly: "I uh... heard you were the person to go to if I wanted to learn how to preform professionally." Jiuweihuli: "...your boyfriend's in jail, right?" Macaque: "Uh, yeah?" Jiuweihuli, getting up from her vanity table: "Good. 'Cus you're about to recieve many admirers." Macaque: :'D!

You see, the older fox spirit knew she wasn't to be the "Vixen of the Stage" for much longer. She was already thousands of years old, and had found herself in the family-way by means of a romance gone sour. So when the dark, mysterious, and deadly beautiful Six-Earred Macaque showed up in her dressing room asking for mentorship? Jiuweihuli knew she had found her understudy.

With the Macaque taking on her most famous roles, Jiuweihuli was able to focus on raising her twin sons; Jin and Yin. Macaque often found himself dragged into babysitting the little terrors by the maternal fox, even if he had to admit their thieving skills were very good. The vixen in turn would protect the monkey from more imposing audience members/fans and encourage his more sarcastic humor.

She was of the shoulders Macaque cried upon when him and Wukong had their falling out.

Eventually the vixen managed to get into contact with an old... "friend" (the twins gag at the thought) Lao Tzu to provide the reckless boys some decent education.

Aaand of course Wukong had to show up centuries later and cause havoc for the fox family when the twins got a little wild with their teacher's stash/artifacts. Luckily Jiuweihuli's brother, Hu A'qi, managed to smooth things over with heaven and offered his studious daughter as another lab assistant to keep the boys in check. Jiuweihuli, cleaning her wounds, sent a letter informing Macaque that his "idiot boyfriend" was out of jail...

Jiuweihuli soon lost her understudy.

The shadow monkey too blinded by anger to consider who would have to pick up the pieces if he failed. Jiuweihuli would eventually go on to teach a hundreds of aspiring actors and musicians, but she always would mourn for her little shadow.

Cue the events of "The Monkey King and the Infant" where Macaque begins frequenting and eventually working at the Megapolis Threatre House. He recognises not only his Brotherhood-era friend Jade-Faced; but a certain old master of his...

Jiuweihuli: "Do I know you?" Macaque: "I should hope so. I was your understudy for many years." Jiuweihuli: "I've trained hundreds of understudies, hon." Macaque: "You trained me during the Tang-era? I could manipulate the shadows?" Jiuweihuli: "Doesn't ring a bell." *sly smirk* Macaque, realises she's messing with him: *sigh* "My idiot boyfriend hit you on the head with a cudgel and I stupidly ran after him and got killed." Jiuweihuli, dropping the act: "Mihou! My little moonlight! Oh how I've missed you!" *gives him a big lipstick-stained smooch on the cheek*

The old vixen is very protective of her understudy now that she has him back. Her motherly side really comes to the surface when she's interacting with the shadow monkey, even if her interactions with her biological children isn't as soft. Jin and Yin get a slap of her sandal more than a few times for their foolishness.

If she learns that Macaque has a kid/kid on the way, Jiuweihuli is going full Grandma-mode. She's always considered her understudy as equal to her own kits and now he's all grown up!! (╥ ω ╥)

And you better believe a certain Monkey King is getting his ass kicked by an old lady the second Jiuweihuli learns he's around.

Miracle Boxes - The Order Generation

These are the third and current iteration of the Miracle Boxes, stretching into the modern day, marked by the forming of the Order of the Guardians and their quest to seek out all Miraculouses. Because of this we see the most change in what Miraculouses are in each box, and unevenly distributed numbers across the Boxes.

The Miraculous War was started by the Guardian of the Successor Box, wanting to unite all Miracle Boxes under one organization. Some Guardians and their holders joined him, forming the Order of the Guardians, while others were declared as rogues and were forced into hiding.

Kwamis had little say in their fate during this time, as the Guardian of the Successor Box had claimed the earthly Soul Gem, using its magic to bind kwamis to any commands that was given to them. The only comfort the kwamis had was that Order of the Guardians were indeed mostly using their power for the protecting of the world, though at the price of the kwamis' freedom.

---

The Forgotten Box - Hidden (Free) Panda Crow Unicorn

While there has been no change what was once known as the Secret Box, on earth this Miracle Box has truly earned the title of "forgotten", being mostly unknown to the world of the magic. The first Celestial Guardian felt that control of this Miracle Box was his birthright, and went out of his way to suppress knowledge of it when he could not find it, leading to only a handful of people knowing of this Box. However with the right questions anyone could learn of this box by forcing a kwami to reveal what they know.

The Mother Box - Tibet to Paris (Order) Ladybug Black Cat Dragon Cobra Rabbit Bee Butterfly Dog Fox Goat Horse Monkey Mouse Ox Peacock Pig Rooster Tiger Turtle

With the Guardian of the Successor Box being one who who formed the Order of the Guardians and started the Miraculous War, it was natural that this Miracle Box became the one with the most kwamis within it. Taking several kwamis originally from the box, he arranged them in the upper box meant to loosely model the concepts of Yin-Yan and Wuxing. For the lower box he took all the kwamis from the Zodiac Box, with them of course being modeled after the Chinese Zodiac. With this box hosting the only two Alphas the Order has, it is fiercely guarded.

The Wandering Box - Wandering the World (Free) Wolf Platypus Phoenix Kangaroo Octopus Sheep Snow Leopard

When the Island Box was first invited to join the Order, this Guardian did not realize what was she was walking into; and upon learning what the Order had done to the kwamis she attempted to back out, but the Order did not just let them walk away. Only managing to escape with three of the twelve Miraculouses she had come with, the Guardian managed to keep the two Alphas of her box. But that only put a bigger target on her back. Knowing that no place was now safe for her, this Guardian took on the habit of constantly being on the move, wandering about the world to protect her Miracle Box, along with taking in other kwamis that had been displaced from their home Miracle Box thanks to the Miraculous War.

The Reclaimed Box - Tibet to Jordan (Free) Pterosaur Tuatara Komodo Parrot Thylacine

The Guardian of the Zodiac Box was the first Guardian to join the Order, though all the kwamis they had once protected were removed from their box, instead their box became home to other Miraculouses they claimed from around the world. While the original Guardian was content in this new found order, their successor was not. Unhappy with the way the kwamis were being treated, this apprentice betrayed the Order, smuggling all the kwamis in the Miracle Box out. He was on the run for many years with the Order hunting him down, and while some Miraculouses were lost in his flight, he still managed to keep the box he reclaimed safe from the Order's hands, along with five remaining kwamis.

The Direction Box - Tibet to New York (Order) Thunderbird Bear Beaver Bison Cougar Coyote Deer Eagle Falcon Goose Locust Otter Owl Rattlesnake Raven Salmon Woodpecker

There were few kwamis actually in the Perennial Box when the Order came to claim the Miraculouses in the Americas, rather the kwamis were living all across the continent among many different people. The Order was able to overpower and take lone Miraculouses, but word spread and the remaining holders began to seek out their Guardians. The Guardian of this box had his last stand in what is now the Navajo Nation, but he knew it was a war they could not win. The remaining kwamis told the Order that they would come, only on the condition that their Guardian kept his title, which was honored. The Order modeled the upper box based their own interpretation of the Medicine Wheel they saw many groups using, and the lower box based on what they believed to be this continent's zodiac, though it actually had little basis in the actual cultures they warred with.

The Hidden Box - Mexico (Free) Firefly Raccoon Feathered Serpent Spider Axolotl Jaguar Llama

This was the Miracle Box initially targeted by the Order when they first came to the Americas, their first attack allowing them to claim half of the Miraculouses within the Box. The Guardian of this Box's escape was narrow, managing to get the Alphas within to safety and to stay in hiding with the Jaguar Miraculous. Becoming impossible to track, the Order turned their attention to the other Miracle Box on the continent. This Guardian also became the shelter for other kwamis on the continent fleeing from the war up north.

The Stranded Box - Brazil (Free) Dinosaur Snail Bat Binturong Blackbuck

Like the other Miracle Boxes in the western hemisphere, the Tropical Box was not spared from the Order's attack; resulting in the death of their Guardian and all Miraculouses within being seized save for the Snail Miraculous, this kwami managing to flee before the Miracle Box itself was claimed as well. This Miracle Box went without a human caretaker after the death of the last Guardian, rather the Snail kwami choosing to avoid humanity in favor of seeking out fellow kwamis. Their numbers are few, and they remain hidden together in the Amazon Rainforest, helping humans when they can, but waiting for a chance to fully return among humanity.

The Enduring Box - Zimbabwe (Free) Griffin Penguin Chameleon Giraffe Gorilla Isopod Okapi Secretarybird Squirrel Zebra

The Order of the Guardians took the Miraculous war to Africa, just like they had in the Americas, the battle for the Miraculouses being just as fierce. While many Miraculouses were lost from the two African Boxes, just as many were reclaimed as well. While their sister Box had been lost, the remaining holders of the Jungle Box managed to drive the Order of the Guardians out of Africa entirely; leaving this box as largest Miracle Box outside the Order's control. Though the free Miracle Boxes don't have an organized group, the Guardians of the Enduring Box are seen as the natural leaders among those who remain outside of the Order.

The Cycle Box - Tibet (Order) Grim Qilin Dragonfly Frog Camel Cheetah Crocodile Elephant Hippopotamus Hyena Jackal Ostrich Pangolin Rhinoceros Scarab Tortoise Vulture

With the Desert Box being the last Miracle Box the Order was able to claim, they were faced with the reality that they were unable to find any Alpha kwamis outside of the Ladybug and Black Cat. So instead Order of the Guardians placed the kwamis of Light and Darkness within this box, declaring them to be an Alpha Duo, a lie the magical world came to believe. The rest of the Miraculouses placed in this box were meant to be modeled after the natural cycles of the world; with the upper box hosting kwamis meant to symbolize day, night, and the three Egyptian seasons; with the lower box embracing the rest of that ancient calendar.

The Season Box - Tibet (Order) Kelpie Aurochs Lynx Ant Crab Dove Elk Gecko Hedgehog Ibex Lion Moth Mouflon Polar Bear Scorpion Seahorse Swan

With their Guardian willing joining the Order of the Guardians, the kwamis of the Constellation Box remained the same as before, their powers now being used against their will to attack other Miracle Boxes and to bring their fellow kwamis under the control of the growing Order of the Guardians. The twelve original kwamis lay in the lower box, based on the western zodiac. Meanwhile the upper box hosts kwamis taken from other boxes, who are meant to symbolize the passing of the seasons.

The Drifting Box - Tonga (Free) Coral Dolphin Jellyfish Narwhal Ray Seal Shark

Like their fellow kwamis around the world, the ones that were once in the Arctic Box fell victim to an attack by the Order with little warning. With all Miraculouses within stolen save for the Narwhal and the Seal, their Guardian cast the box into the sea in a last desperate attempt to protect them. The title 'drifting' was one truly earned, swept away into the sea for many years. Though washed ashore multiple times, the remaining kwamis did not find someone they found worthy until they encountered more of their kind in the tropics, living without a Miracle Box until they were found at sea.

The Frozen Box - Russia (Free) Yeti Red Panda Moose Quail Stoat Wolverine

In the early days of the Order of the Guardians the Mountain Box was numbered among them, their Guardian too wishing to create organization among those who were duty-bound to protect the Miraculouses. But when she saw that this Order was only creating war she knew that she could not stay. There was no epic betrayal or running away in the night, this Guardian simply went on a mission with the Miraculouses she was assigned in tow, and never came back.

---

The Order Generation is the generation of Miracle Boxes that stands today in modern times. But with the Order of the Guardians having been destroyed by Feast nearly a century and a half ago those in the magical world are looking forward to a change. However there are some kwamis that think that this new beginning should be a world without humanity.

[wc-confessions]

Well, can we talk about Russian translation of the warrior names? It's gonna be a long post bc it's very different from the original and might be really weird.

So there is no translation for -kit suffix. Instead kittens have diminutive suffixes and their names are something like Little Snow (Snowkit).

Apprentice names may have -paw suffix, or may not. They also may have diminutive suffixes instead. For example, Bluepaw is Bluepaw, but Firepaw is Little Fire.

Also warrior name and apprentice name not always keep the same prefix. For example, Brackenpaw is Bracken, but Brackenfur is... Brown.

Most of the warrior names are translated without their suffixes. Sometimes they add suffixes that don't have any specific meaning and can't be translated on English (I guess?). Sometimes it's just straight up the translation of their prefixes only. I mean, Squirrelflight is simply Squirrel, Brambleclaw is Bramble, Dovewing is Dove, etc.

Often they change their prefixes for who knows why. So the translated names might have from little to no connection to the original ones. For example:

- Crowfeather is Rook

- Jayfeather is Sparrow

- Feathertail is Swallow

- Sorreltail is Lungwort

- Ivypool is Spark (I have no idea why)

- Meanwhile Sparkpelt is Firelight

In first arc name translation was really... weird. I mean:

- Ravenpaw is Burnt (why???)

- Dustpelt is Smoke

(kinda funny if you consider that they are brothers)

- Sandstorm is Sandstorm but her apprentice name was... Mustard. Yes, like the sauce (it's actually a plant with the same name)

- Graystripe is Steepflank (btw his apprentice name was ughhh... Ball)

- Darkstripe is Stakewall (do cats even know what is it?)

- Yellowfang is something like Pockmarked??? I don't really know how to correctly translate it, sorry

- Whitestorm is Blizzard

- Mousefur is Tuft (like, bunch of fur on cat ears or tail)

- Frostfur is Snow White (yes, like a Disney princess)

- Willowpelt is Blueeye

- Brindleface is Silver Fox

- Rosetail and Brightflower were firstly named as Viburnum and Nasturtium but then they changed it

- Mistyfoot is Invisible (actually, there is a noun in Russian that doesn't exist in English, and it means someone who is invisible)

- Leopardfur was Ocelot, but as leader she becomes Spotted Star (how boring)

Btw leader names almost always stay the same, so there are a few exceptions:

- Tallstar is Star Beam

- Raggedstar is Shred of Comet

- Crookedstar is Meteor

(yes, these two don't have "star" in their names)

- Tigerstar and Brokenstar are something like Starscratcher and Starbreaker (wow, evil)

- btw Tigerclaw is just Claw. No tiger.

Also -heart is often changed to -mane for some reason. For example, Fireheart is Firemane, Alderheart is Aldermane, Cinderheart is Cindermane. Tigerheart is Clawmane, if it even makes sense (his leader name is Clawstar, so no confusion between two Tigerstars).

And sometimes characters just keep the same name. For example, Ashfur as an apprentice and a warrior is Coal (or more like Little Coal, which is why nobody takes him seriously /hj)

.

[bonefall]

Honestly, I'm falling in love with your characterization of Frostfur. Big battle scarred woman who loves her son-in-law and babies, outspoken advocate for Firestar, secret bastard of a medicine cat. She's so interesting and babygirl and I hope she gets a lil page about her like you have with Heartstar and Acorn Swoop~!

I'll end up giving her a summary later on, but I've been doing some sketches to get a better 'feeling' for her. Especially since her kittens are going to all become big players going forward, I want to make sure you can see a bit of her in the four of them;

[ID: Several iterations on BB!Frostfur. The one in the center is the oldest, with long belly fur and a long snout, labelled "Too long, too much muzzle, and too angy." In the top left corner, she is painting makeup onto Cloudtail, saying "I think red brings out the color of our eyes." Below that she is looking over her shoulder at you. Next is a headshot where her ear is cut off, and she starts to display the 'lip scar.' Then there's a guide to her various scars. Above that she is making bloodcones out of snow.]

SO enjoy this little babble on various free-form thoughts I'm having about her character;

I have enough snarky, assertive types in ThunderClan. I need someone who's more sweet and gentle to balance things out.

I ALSO noticed that Whitestorm and Cloudtail are large, fluffy, pure white cats. So I decided Frostfur works better as being short-furred.

The first sketch was based on her secret biofather Featherwhisker. I decided I don't want it to be so obvious, so the similarities became more subtle as time went on.

For example the shape of her head, and just a few droopy tufts.

There should be one scar that defines her above all others, so I decided that there's a slice from nose to chest, which nicked her lip open.

Her tooth is always poking out a little bit

Always looks 'friendly,' so I tried to channel a kitty cat who wants to play. Little muzzle, whiskers usually visible, big eyes

But don't let that fool you, she's a fantastic warrior, covered in scars to prove her mettle.

She's gone up against foxes, badgers, rogues, and has defended Sunningrocks many times. Bluestar trained her well, and no one can deny this.

I'm not sure when she's going to die, but in any case, she's not being "left behind" in TNP because she's too old and weak to travel. What the fuck was that, like sincerely

"Bye mom thanks for not slowing us down have fun starving to death" ??????

She either ends up in the Elder's Den for a while with Goldenflower, or dying in the WindClan Civil War

as a side note, she is not becoming deputy. I'm satisfied with the entire Firestar deputy plotline from Whitestorm to Longtail to Graystripe to Brambleclaw to Brackenfur. That's no longer open to shuffles, I cannot fit more into that drama.

However, she is totally eligible for a different high-ranking position! Cooking and Construction are still open. Cooking is kind of barren right now, actually, and it may be cute for her to train her daughter-in-law Sorreltail.

She also has at least two apprentices now. The first is either Runningwind or Mousefur (since Blue doesn't need an apprentice while she's leader and Redtail won't be mentoring his future mate's sister), and the second is Elderberry to ease her out of the nursery.

If neither Mouse and Run end up being her apprentices, then Tulipflight or Chestnutface might be. But she will be having 2 apprentices.

A long, long time back (back in the distant year of 2009), a DeviantArt user by the name of "jisuk" put in place a collaborative project about Dark Fairytales for charity.

The idea was simple: gather several DeviantArt artists who would create together illustrations for a "dark fairy tales" card game titled "Broken Spell". It was a really cool project, and I still quite love it. Since it has been drowned since by years and years of DeviantArt growing into the strange mess it is today, I will copy-paste below some of my favorite pieces of this online deck with ther references. If you want to check the full set of art, check the folder jisuk created for the project right here.

The Story of Snow: Chapter 7

~First~ ~Next~ ~Previous~

Snowpaw stood up, facing the fox. What to do. What to do. Sure she was a good fighter, but she couldn't take a fox! Snowpaw started backing up, staring at the fox. As she backed into a tree two other foxes came out of the woods. Well, she was screwed. She had no clue where she was, and she was facing three foxes. No warriors even knew she had left camp. Oh, why did she decide to play tag? At least Stormpaw and Flowerpaw might find her, probably dead based on the way these foxes were approaching. Snowpaw blew air out her mouth and accidentally whistled. The foxes stopped approaching and lifted their heads up as if they were listening for something, then they turned back to Snowpaw, ready to attack. Wait, why had they stopped for a moment? Was it because of her accidental whistling? Snowpaw did it again, lower this time, and the foxes approached quicker. Maybe she should go higher? She whistled high. The foxes stopped and then walked away. Did that just work? How did that work? Why did they respond to whistling? The voice in her head spoke, second time today, weird

‘Twolegs’ Twolegs? Had they done something to the foxes? Did it have to do with high-pitched and low-pitched sounds? Snowpaw had heard of them doing something like it with dogs and a whistle. Had a twoleg done that with the foxes? But then why were the foxes here? It didn't make sense. Why would Twolegs train foxes and then just let them roam? Twolegs were idiotic. Snowpaw was still standing there in shock when Stormpaw and Flowerpaw came. Flowerpaw started to say

"Found y-" but Stormpaw interrupted,

"I smell fox, are you alright? Did you see one?" Snowpaw blinked herself out of her thoughts and stammered 

"Ye-yeah. I, I, I got lost. And there, there, we're three foxes and they were about to attack, and,and then they left, and” Snowpaw closed her eyes and took a deep breath, Stormpaw spoke and said

“We should go back to camp. We need to tell a warrior about this” He looked worried, foxes were bad. Should she tell them about the whistling thing?

‘No… It would only worry them’ the voice spoke again. Snowpaw agreed with it, what good would it do if she told them? She didn't want to worry them more. The voice was right. Stormpaw and Flowerpaw led Snowpaw back to the dandelion patch where they grabbed the herbs they must have collected earlier. Then they went back to camp, Snowpaw walking in between her two friends. She was still shaken from the fox encounter. Stormpaw clearly was too, he kept pricking his ears and flinching when he heard any noise. Flowerpaw just seemed worried, she walked close to Snowpaw. They got back to camp and Iceleaf immediately came over and said to Stormpaw and Flowerpaw

"What took you two so long? Oh well, Stormpaw, could you give me those herbs, Flowerpaw and I need to get them in with the rest." Stormpaw gave Iceleaf the herbs and Flowerpaw reluctantly followed her. Snowpaw noticed Flowerpaw sneak a sympathetic glance back at Snowpaw. Snowpaw looked up at Stormpaw, his eyes scanning over the camp for some cat. She saw his eyes lock on Flamehawk and he turned to her and said 

"Snowpaw I am so sorry but I need to go tell Flamehawk what happened with the foxes" Snowpaw smiled slightly and said

"That's fine. I'm probably going to go take a nap" He nodded and then raced over toward Flamehawk. Snowpaw started walking over to the apprentice den, taking deep breaths and closing her eyes as she walked to calm herself down. So she didn't see the group of apprentices in front of her. She ran directly into a white cat with a black right paw. Whitepaw scowled as she turned and said

"Watch where you're going mouse-" Then she stopped as he realized she was talking to Snowpaw. Whitepaw smirked and said 

"Oh! Look, crybaby has come back." Snowpaw heard a she-cat snicker from behind Whitepaw, it was Amberfern! Why was she hanging out with Whitepaw and her group? Whitepaw spoke again 

"Oh no, are you going to cry again? Or are you going to try and attack me? Not that you'd win, cause you're a cripple" Brownpaw stepped up and said

"Stormpaw's not here this time. I'm curious on what you'll do, or do you need him to do anything?" Snowpaw closed her eyes, sighed, and tried to sheath her claws. She spoke slowly and calmly 

"I don't have time for this." Whitepaw rolled her eyes and said

"Oh you don't, do you? Because you're oh so busy. What are you busy with? Moping? Crying? Living your sad little life with only two friends? Boring Stormpaw and annoying Flowerpaw?" Snowpaw noticed Birchpaw tense behind Whitepaw, but he then shook his head and looked back at Whitepaw. Brownpaw, Sunpaw, Stickpaw, and Amberfern laughed. Purekit and Skypaw did not. Purekit looked scared. Skypaw was looking between Snowpaw and Whitepaw like she was expecting a fight. And that was exactly what was going to happen. Snowpaw leaped at Whitepaw. Whitepaw frantically batted at Snowpaw with her claws sheathed, Snowpaw however went for Whitepaw's ears with her claws unsheathed. She managed to nick a small part of her ear off before a cat grabbed her by the scruff and dragged her away. To her surprise, it was Flamehawk. Snowpaw didn't fight against him, instead, she glared at Whitepaw. She had her paw up to her ear, it had a tiny nick in it and was bleeding slightly but Whitepaw was acting  like Snowpaw just tore her whole ear off. Whitepaw was dramatic sobbing, holding her ear and yelling for a medicine cat. Snowpaw rolled her eyes and looked around. Brownpaw looked slightly surprised. Birchpaw had raced right next to Whitepaw and was asking if she was alright, and he was being completely ignored. Sunpaw and Stickpaw had taken a step back, shocked. Purekit looked scared and worried, she kept glancing at Snowpaw as if worried she would attack again. Amberfern looked shocked. Skypaw was the only one who didn't look shocked, she looked like she was expecting that. Then Snowpaw noticed Ashstar racing over. He went immediately to Whitepaw to check on her. He then glared at Snowpaw and started yelling at her. Snowpaw stared him in the eyes, unfazed, tuning him out. She felt no remorse, that actually felt really good in fact. Snowpaw was ready to sit there and listen but then Flamehawk spoke up against Ashstar, he said

"Ashstar, Whitepaw is fine and-" Whitepaw shouted, trying to draw attention back to herself 

"I am not fine! I'm bleeding!" Ashstar started to turn to her but Flamehawk spoke

"She is fine. It'll heal. Now would you please show your other daughter some respect? While I did not hear the full conversation it sounded like Whitepaw was bullying Snowpaw and insulting her friends, so Snowpaw's attack, while unnecessary, had its reasons. And yet you yell at her, you give her a mentor that doesn't train her." More and more cats were gathering around to see what was happening, and multiple of them were looking at her. Amberfern spoke up

"I've been meaning to talk to you Ashstar. Snowpaw needs a new mentor."

"What?!" Flamehawk looked at Amberfern in confusion, she responded 

"I recently found out I'm expecting kits so going to be moving to the nursery soon" Flamehawk looked even more confused and said

"What? I'm going to be an uncle?" But he was ignored by most other cats because a wave of congratulations was flooding towards Amberfern. Snowpaw took the distraction to move to the outside of the large group of cats and walk towards the medicine den. As she walked, she started to wonder, was she wrong to do that? The voice spoke

'No. You were right. Whitepaw is a Fox-heart. She was insulting your friends, you were completely justified. She deserved to pay.' Snowpaw nodded as the voice spoke. She walked into the apprentice den and headed for her nest close to the entrance, alone except for one nest next to it. She laid down in hers and let the voice talk. Snowpaw soaked in the praise and encouragement. It was weird, but she had started to visualize the cat. She looked like her, but the colors were different. She was black and had a white twisted paw. Snowpaw never knew what her mother looked like but she knew she had black fur, why couldn't the voice look like her? The voice had Snowpaw's blue eyes. As Snowpaw started to fall asleep she thought to herself, what if the voice was her mother? Maybe she had come down from Starclan to watch over her.

[tisthekarmyn]

Sorry :"D - Lol now I'm wondering what Korn could take from Liquir. Diving into the snow when catching mice? The sound of a fox screaming?

- Poor Sour is on pure habit of pulls out a makeup kit every chance he gets and confirming “yes, my Hakaishin, you are very beautiful” even when he's talking to someone else and it's not about beauty

- Is Arak a lizard? Body and tail color(+ tail movements, different body movement), different amplitude of head nods as a signal and form of communication. Cucatail tried to study the signaling “language” system of his god. Perhaps Cucatail body size was created specifically at Arak's request, if you're big it means you're strong and dangerous.

- I'm not sure about Sidra, but but judging by the looks and personality Mojito, he was the first to invent depression and is in it 24/7

- Whis and Vados have adopted feline habits because of their gods (is it aggression at eye contact/slow blinking as an indicator of affection, purring, throwing things off shelves. Greeting tail up when meeting? Aggressive defense of food by Whis if there are saiyans hanging around?)

- Avamo? Sorry I have a headcanon that Ivan is a being specially created from, literally, shit and sticks. Kaioshin and Avamo weren't looking for the next god of destruction, Kai collected a piece of trash and dust and gave it consciousness, allowing it to evolve and have a mind(typical Golem. That's why 1 universe has a good score in balance, its gods work well)

- Cus? Elephants have a matriarchy, Cus to keep her god in check took on a “female image” Visual communication and spreading of ears suggests aggression in elephants, I think Cus like Vis with Vados avoids direct gaze when communicating

Seismic communication!

But if elephants have normal communication through ear mimic, Coos probably moves his ears too

- I need to justify the goblin shark's appearance to Camparri, either he was Jin's former mentor but then changed apprentice and universe, or while he was training Mule, studied creatures with a similar jawline ----- It would be funny if there was an aggressive clash between the gods, but half of them have almost silent “aggressive communication” through eye contact, with growls and grunts

ACCCCK cant formulate a actual response but THESE ARE SICK!!!!

Is there a list of land predators that can be encountered in the territories?

Hello!

For a list of land predators, here is a ranked from most to least common! A secondary rating is next to the name showing how dangerous they are to the cats of the five Clans! As well as where they're more likely to be found.

coyotes (★★★★☆) [rarer to see due to the presence of wolf packs but highly dangerous when they are present] All territories, rarely Skyreach.

red foxes (★★★★☆) [dangerous to cats of any age and health, best to be avoided] Thornrush, Torrentfall, Mistshroud, rarely Skyreach.

fisher cats (★★★☆☆) [typically less interested in the cats but will predate them if resources are low, best to be avoided] Thornrush, Torrentfall, Mistshroud.

american minks (★★☆☆☆) [more of a dangerous threat to kits and apprentices] All territories.

american martens (★☆☆☆☆) [more of a dangerous threat to kits and younger apprentices] All territories.

♢Background

Hickorystar was born as Hickorykit to Falconstrike and Bearclaw, two head sentries of GlacierClan. Being their only child, he was both dotted on and expected to follow in their large footsteps. Hickory started out as a rather arrogant and boastful cat because of this. Because of his parent status, he was mentored by Lynxstar, the battle-scared leader known for his strategy and fighting prowess.

His life was changed dramatically when his parents and a handful of other cats rebelled and attempted to take over the clan. His overbearing father was killed and his mother was exiled, leaving the young apprentice under suspicion. Lynxstar vouched from him, becoming a surrogate parent to the aimless Hickory.

Under Lynx, Hickorypaw learned the importance of honor and selflessness. This was put to the test when he came face to face with a fox, driven to their camp by hunger. He managed to drive the predator away single-handedly, but not after losing his tail in the fight. He was swiftly made a warrior with the name Hickorystump, not just for his new scar but for the reliable stump in camp where leaders called for clan meetings.

As a young warrior, Hickory would end up falling in love with a loner who lived with a band of cats at the edge of GlacierClan territory. The band eventually moved on and, despite Hickory pleading for them to join him, his lover refused to leave his friends and family.

Hickory rose through the ranks quickly, becoming a close confidant to Lynxstar. Time and time again he volunteered himself for unsavory tasks and regained any lost trust his clanmates had in him. He became the youngest sentry in clan history at 18 moons and, after the previous deputy died, he became deputy at 25 moons old.

Lynxstar's eventually death hit him hard, but he didn't let it show as he received his nine lives and became leader. After a flood hit the GlacierClan's warm weather camp, Hickorystar was the last to evacuate in an effort to make sure everyone had made it out safe. He was caught in the surge and lost a life to drowning, something that still haunts him.
