AU cast for that 'Changing Skies' ARC

lalalalala joy and whimsy

[songsteps]

the BerrySparrow family! not quite sure how much I like my Berryheart design but I'm happy with Needletail and Sunbeam and they matter most to me (I felt like making them look pretty similar would be fun a long while back and I kept that idea here)

I feel like the series forgets that the younger adult generation in SkyClan did not have a normal Clan upbringing, or even a normal SkyClan-in-the-gorge upbringing. It could add and explain so much, but it's just never mentioned. Their upbringings fall into three categories: 1. raised in SkyClan as the Clan wandered around homeless, like Reedclaw and Dewspring (and Finleap, which maybe explains why he was so not bothered by the idea of switching to ThunderClan to be with Twigbranch); 2. raised as loners in SkyClan's old territory without the rest of the Clan, like Fringewhisker (which maybe explains why she so easily fell in love with Spireclaw, because she didn't grow up with the whole we-have-borders-and-cats-from-other-Clans-are-forbidden thing); and 3. Violetshine.

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.
