Up next (and last set for tonight, I'll post more tomorrow) are the aged-up apprentice designs for the SpotStem kits! Up first is Stempaw.

Stempaw has no physical description given other than his pattern, so I came up with my own for him. He's a fairly average boy with thick medium fur.

For his pattern, Stempaw is described as an orange tabby tom. His design is the same as on his kit ref sheet. I gave him a similar shade of ginger as his dad's ginger patches, a classic tabby pattern like his grandpas Thornclaw and Lionblaze, and since he has no canon eye color, his grandma Blossomfall's yellow eyes.

Overall, really happy with how he turned out, he looks so cute.

My predictions for the protagonists of Changing Skies, the ninth arc in the Warriors series

WindClan: Leafkit

Daughter of Featherpelt and Oatclaw, her littermates are Branchkit and Grasskit, and her older siblings are Whistlepaw, Flutterfoot, and Songleap. They focused a lot on Leafkit in Wind, so I think she will likely be a POV character, especially since Whistlepaw is her older sister. The story team also said that Whistlepaw will become more prominent in the series, so having her younger sister as a protagonist will definitely serve that purpose. Adding onto this, WindClan has never had a POV character in the main series, so this is long overdue.

ThunderClan: Stempaw or Graypaw

They are Spotfur and Stemleaf's kits and perfect protagonist material. Related to Firestar? Check. Parents were plot relevant? Check. ThunderClan? Check. They are also being given a lot of attention right now. I do not think Bristlepaw will be a protagonist, due to Bristlefrost having the name of Bristlepaw one arc earlier. (Leafkit will not have this same issue as The New Prophecy was six arcs earlier.)

These are the only candidates who have really received attention, but there are several others to consider.

RiverClan: Floatkit, Rapidkit, or Troutkit

They are the kits of Havenpelt and Sneezecloud, and younger siblings to Splashtail and Fognose. They will have to deal with their older brother's legacy once he is gone. They could also provide a window on how RiverClan is doing after this current arc.

SkyClan: Ridgekit or Duskkit

They are the kits of Blossomheart (sister of Hawkwing) and Harrybrook (son of Leafstar). Duskkit is most likely named after Duskpaw, Blossomheart's dead brother.

ShadowClan: Birchpaw

He is the son of Tigerstar and Dovewing, and younger brother to Shadowsight, Pouncestep, and Lightleap. He appeared in Sky when his brother Rowankit died. I think this is the least likely option out of all of them, as I do not see much of what Birchpaw could bring as a protagonist, besides being the son of Tigerstar and Dovewing. That is unless, some sort of huge change happens within ShadowClan; then Birchpaw could provide a view into ShadowClan.

Other possible apprentice/kit options just for the heck of it (not including anyone who will receive their warrior name/medicine cat name very soon):

SkyClan: Beepaw or Beetlepaw, kits of Nectarsong and Dewspring (who are first cousins, of course)

WindClan: Grasskit or Branchkit, littermates of Leafkit; younger siblings to Whistlepaw, Songleap, and Flutterfoot; and kits of Featherpelt and Oatclaw.

ThunderClan: Bristlepaw, daughter of Stemleaf and Spotfur, and sister to Graypaw and Stempaw; or Wafflepaw

Of course, they could always choose to focus on a young warrior, like how they did with Sunbeam this arc, but these are just my speculations.

Edit: I can't believe I nearly forgot about Stripekit and Brookkit in WindClan, whose mother is Larkwing; and Cinnamontail and Slatefur's kits in ShadowClan: Firkit, Bloomkit, Streamkit, and Whisperkit.

Spoilers for A Starless Clan arc (before the book Star tho)

Man October has just kept me so busy, it's possible that I might not be able to post a cat everyday. But here's 3 cute one for now: The kits of Spotfur & Stemleaf! Graypaw, Stempaw, and Bristlepaw. They're apprentices as of this post, here's hoping they all make it to warrior age! This is probably the most dymanic I've been with poses, I generally keep them static so I can get a good reference view, but I was feeling creative so I did 2 drawings for each cat. I mostly color picked from their parents to get their designs, haven't shown the parents yet but maybe I will soon! (hint hint). Also I disliked Bristlepaw was orange and white, I wanted her orange & gray, but oh well can't have them all.

Personality wise, they're great. I loved their little training session with Sunbeam as her trial, it seems like the authors are going for more cute & donestic scenes, which I love. Kinda don't like how they scrapped Spotfur's personality when having these kits, she had a lot going for her, but who knows, they might bring it back when the focus is on her again.

whistlepaw is one very popular cat at gatherings (feat Bristlepaw, Stempaw and Graypaw)

[nectarclan]

Moon 11, gave us some new mateships, and some new additions to the clan! I also really like the idea, that now Leapstar and Pokineedle are together, Leapstar wants to be an active father to Lichen and Stem! Can't help but feel sorry for Lichen though, she's been having a rough time with her patrols!!

Considering making Stemkit a Medicine Cat apprentice.

[willow-wc]

Y’all I finished reading Wind. It’s so good! Some of the parts are…….boring….but I think every book has that. Lol. I am NOT happy that I have to wait till November to read Star! I hope y’all can read it soon. Ima make some tan-art sometime soon if Wafflepaw, Bristlepaw, Graypaw, and Stempaw. And maybe Splashtail and Curlfeather.

Names for the current kits and apprentices!

Frostlight Mistmorning Grayshine (All the triplets and their best friend Whis have a matching light theme) Rapidbrook Floatcloud (Fognose's little sister and apprentice!) Troutsplash (The name just works but it's also sad.. he has to wrestle with not just looking like his brother but being intentionally or coincidentally named after him. But Trout is a different cat than Splash and he and his clan will come to accept this.)

Whistledawn (I love her kindness. She gets a special name and also to match with her riverclan friends' special names.) Leafdrizzle Grassberry Branchfrost (I love Whistlepaw's adorable baby siblings and I really like these names for them.) Stripereed Brookstarling

Wafflesong Waspflight (I know he left but that's not the end of his story, at least not in the ideas I have planned) Bristlesedge Stemstripe Graypuddle

Birchflight Firbristle Streamripple Whisperpool Bloomshadow (I love Cinnamon's kits, Stream has a bubbly personality and Whisper is a thoughtful kitten who wants to be medicine cat and they're all a really nice family.)

Beetlespot Beestripe Ridgeflicker Duskflow

With this Cyberentitykin flag?

[rosemist50]

New kits! I've had a concept of all these guys for a while, I first drew it up with the release of the River excerpt on the site (I think, I have it dated as February 8th, 2022). Back when Rowankit was a dark grey tabby she-cat basically. I was trying to wait until they were older to draw them all but finally I caved and just drew them as kits.

So here are Larkwing's kits, Brookkit and Stripekit, Blossomheart and Harrybrook's kits, Ridgekit and Duskkit, Cinnamontail and Slatefur's kits, Firkit, Whisperkit, Bloomkit, and Streamkit, Spotfur and Stemleaf's kits, Bristlekit, Stemkit, and Graykit, and Dovewing and Tigerheartstar's (new) kits, Rowankit and Birchkit.
