Jadezinnia

more info below, potential spoiler warning! I use these character bios as a way to keep track of my SplashClan game which means that all the information is up to date with the current in-game events, not where I left off with the youtube series

Jadezinna was born as a rogue named Jade who initially found a sense of belonging in the clans and went on to become a warrior of SplashClan. In the clans he met Lightgale, a skilled healer. The two became mates and Jadezinnia’s devotion and love towards him led to him neglecting his warrior duties. Tragedy struck when a patrol he was on led to the death of a clanmate, leaving him in shock. He eventually suffered a bad leg injury and when his first litter of kits with Lightgale (Clovekit, Downkit, and Gorgekit) arrived, complications arose. Despite the challenges, Jadezinnia was able to fully recover.

After his injury, Jadezinnia retired to the elders' den where he spent the rest of his life. Lonely in later years, he found solace and companionship in a newcomer named Crunchwrap, the two forming a close bond. However, Jadezinnia became saddened by the loss of Crunchwrap as well as the realization that he might not live to see his second litter (Tidalkit, Thornkit, and Algaekit) receive their full names. In the end, he died of old age, leaving a lasting impact on his clanmates, especially Lightgale and their family.

Detailed Biography

Jadezinnia was born as Jade, a rogue who traveled from place to place, feeling the most free when he never had anything tying him down. This was his life until he discovered the clans. Even though he had previously felt the most free being on his own and without a community, he enjoyed it more than he had enjoyed anything before. He realized that living around other cats in a community where everyone was (for the most part) guaranteed to still be there was comforting to him and so he decided to stick around.

Eventually, he found his way to the horseplace near the temporary clan camp and met Gale, a friendly tom-cat skilled in healing who was a traveler like Jade had been before. The two became close friends almost immediately and it helped that the horseplace was the home to plenty of mice and rats for Jade to come and snack on, meaning he was over hanging out with Gale as often as he could be. 

One day while out hunting for the clan he stumbled across an injured cat named Snap. He rushed her to the clan however as the three medicine cats worked to save her none of their herbs were working. Jade ran to Gale and begged him for help and in the end Gale’s unique knowledge of herbs proved to be helpful and Snap made a full recovery. This event led to Gale deciding to stick around and join the clans officially as a medicine cat, making Jade incredibly happy.

The clans were officially formed after the rogues were chased off of their territory and both Jadezinnia and Lightgale took their full clan names, joining SplashClan. It was only a few months into the clan's existence when Jadezinnia and Lightgale began to see each other differently. They could no longer consider each other friends, they felt much more for each other than that. The two loved each other and when they were together they both felt the happiest and so they decided to officially become mates.

After this, Jadezinnia would do anything to ensure he could spend time with Lightgale. Since he was a medicine cat he didn’t need to leave camp that often, meaning that Jadezinnia wouldn’t feel the need to leave camp either. However, this led to him beginning to slack off and ditch his warrior duties in order to stay in camp with Lightgale. Though he was well liked by his clan mates it was clear his behavior was annoying them. There were only three warriors in the clan at the beginning (not counting the deputy, Brackenshade) and everyone in the clan needed to help out and yet Jadezinnia just wasn’t. 

Gannetstar and Brackenshade began to personally go to him and tell him to go out on patrol to ensure he was actually doing his work. Jadezinnia hated going on patrols but he put up with it to make his clanmates happy, however this led to him experiencing something terrible. One day, he was sent out on patrol with the newly made warriors, Thunderisle and Sagepeak and while out it began to rain, causing the river to flood and sweep them all away. Though Thunderisle and Jadezinnia were able to escape the raging river, Sagepeak wasn’t and he drowned. Jadezinnia was horrified by this and was sent into shock as a result. 

He became even lazier, not wanting to go on patrol again due to his fear of witnessing another terrible thing. He was frequently caught napping and spending time in the medicine den with Lightgale when he should’ve been out on patrol or hunting. One day, after being yelled at by Brackenshade to go out and hunt, his leg was caught in a twoleg trap. Thankfully he was able to escape however he was heavily injured. What made this injury worse is that Lightgale and Jadezinnia’s first litter of kits were on the way, meaning that Lightgale was under an immense amount of stress trying to care for Jadezinnia and prepare for their litter. 

Eventually their kits, Clovekit, Downkit, and Gorgekit were born and the two couldn’t have been happier to finally be parents. However, Jadezinnia’s mangled leg suddenly became infected and Lightgale, in his immense stress of being the clan’s only medicine cat, now being a father, and trying to desperately care for his injured mate, didn’t know what to do. He frantically ran to the other medicine cats, begging for advice to save his mate. Thankfully in the end, Jadezinnia recovered however his leg was left permanently damaged and twisted. This didn’t bother Jadezinnia though as he was old enough to retire to the elders’ den once he had recovered.

Though Jadezinnia had suffered a lot, retiring to the elders’ den was the best possible place for him. He could stay in camp and be as lazy as he wanted to be and be around Lightgale and his friends without causing the clan to fall behind. As an elder, it gave him a chance to really notice things in the clan that no cat had ever seen before since he was now in camp all day and this led to him being able to save Longpool from a snake before it bit him. No cat had noticed the snake except for Jadezinnia which allowed him to be able to save Longpool’s life. 

Through the rest of his life, Jadezinnia spent his time how most elders do, telling stories to kits, giving advice to younger clanmates, and of course spending time with his family. However, Jadezinnia was the only elder which left him feeling a tad lonely. This was until Crunchwrap arrived in the clan. After experiening a terrible disaster she fled to the clans for saftey and companionship and Jadezinnia couldn’t have been happier to have found her. The two became close friends and together they frequently spent time with the kits, Crunchwrap telling them stories with Jadezinnia’s help. Jadezinnia at one point even saved the kitten Shadekit from the river after she had fallen in, showing how much he truly cared for the kittens of the clan.

Jadezinnia’s love and appreciation for kittens became even more evident when he and Lightgale had their second litter of kits, Tidalkit, Thornkit, and Algaekit. Though he was so happy to be a father again he was incredibly saddened by this. He was getting older and older and knew that it was likely he wouldn’t be around long enough to see his kits recieve their full names. What made him even sadder is that only a few months after Crunchwrap joined the clan, she died while trying to escape from camp when HazeClan attacked them. He began to feel like he was missing out, that so much was happening and so much would happen in the future and because of his age he wouldn’t be able to see any of it.

Eventually, Jadezinnia died of old age and went to StarClan, only two months before the first of his second litter became warriors. He was mourned by many in the clan, Lightgale, Snapfern, Thunderisle, Lightspots, Clovefreckle, and Downface were all the saddest and mourned the longest after he had died.

Fun Facts

Jadezinnia's favorite foods are mice and frogs

He was the 13th cat to die and join SplashClan

He's currently the SplashClan cat (along with Lightgale) to ahve the most decendants

Jadezinnia was the oldest of the founding members of SplashClan and he was the first cat to retire to the elders' den

Jadezinnia's voice claim is Thomas O’Malley from the Aristocats (voiced by Phil Harris)

StarClan Events

From the cats he's watched over from StarClan, he's the most proud of his son, Thornheart and the warrior, Flitfoot (may be elaborated on more once I flesh out Thornheart and Flitfoot)

He knew about Thunderisle and Jellyfishspeckle's plan to ascend to leadership and wanted to warn someone about it

Jadezinnia has strong feelings about relationships and so when he found out that Thornheart had been in two relationships with two seperate clan outsiders at the same time (with neither of them knowing of the other) he desperately wanted to tell someone

Jadezinnia watched over the warrior, Timberspeckle when they were an apprentice (may be elaborated on more once I flesh out Timberspeckle)

He juded the warrior Hailtorrent for training in the dark forest

MOON 5/6 - GATHERING 6

"Daisyshadow has given birth to her kits!" Finchstar announced from the center rock of the pool, and she met eyes with the leader of that patrol she had discussed it with. "Larkkit, Graykit, Buzzardkit, and Bogkit. They all are healthy!"

"Expanding your clan finally, huh?" Beestar meowed, from her spot sitting down, and Finchstar purred with amusement.

Beestar's news was all good- no rogues at borders, and their pelts seemed to help in regards to the cold weather coming. Finchstar had been noticing how the prey had begun to get more scarce, but... that was hardly anything worth reporting.

All of them had to have starved at some point, before forming these clans. That was what Finchstar thought.

Quickstar stood. Their jaw shifted around as they bit down, clearly wondering about something. They did speak up after a little bit. "Things are going well. The snow has hit the mountaintops." They nodded. "Expect more. We will be hunting further down on the mountain often."

Such a quick speaker, Quickstar was. Finchstar almost laughed to herself about that one.

Stonestar stood. "If I may." He held his head high. "In comparison to your news, I have an announcement, myself. Recently, almost the week before this gathering, we have new apprentices." His tail flicked in the direction of his clan, pointing almost directly at a young cat. Still kit-faced, but obviously six moons old. "Brookkit and Algaekit are now Brookpaw and Algaepaw!"

Finchstar started the cheer first. The cat that was pointed to stood proud, grinning. The cat next to her, Oakdapple, nudged her face into the young cat, and the apprentice pulled away, pulling off a face that Finchstar had a feeling she would be seeing soon on the new kits' faces.

"Expanding in the face of the ice?" Beestar asked. "I know that our rivers have started going cold."

"We will manage." Stonestar nodded. "I think that is all."

"Let's go home, and prepare for the frost!" Finchstar meowed, loudly. She took a step towards Beestar and brushed against the other molly before starting to hop back. Beestar stared after her.

this took me like 500 years to answer and i'm so indecisive even in posting this, however... :) lists assembled! some of them are in order, some aren't, some have multiple cats filling one "slot" because they're usually family and "equal" in the sense of being a favorite. i'm also doing my best to limit dead characters unless they're recently deceased, but...some are too important to leave out.

also the striked out text is for repressed feelings, because i can't get enough of that shit.

MOON 1/2 - GATHERING TWO

It's all too quick when the next full moon comes. Whiskershadow is confined to camp, as is Speckleback, and the kits are kept with them. It's just Finchstar, Daisyshadow, Lichenpaw, and Hollypaw. A group too small for a gathering. Finchstar keeps her head high.

When she makes it to the gathering, they're a bit late. The other clans brought smaller groups this time, but none as small as Needleclan's. It makes them stand out.

Finchstar takes her time walking across the rocks to the leader's place, which makes the other leaders stand a bit in alarm.

"You alright?"

"I'm fine. Let's get it started, alright?" A smile.

Who was supposed to be her deputy now?

A brown lightly speckled tom walked over from Talonclan's side to Rattleclan, talking to someone who seemed rather... new.

"Let's start with some good news." Beestar said, still shooting Finchstar a concerned look. "A cat named Minnow heard about us forming a clan, and came to our camp in the middle of the night! Her name is now Minnowday!"

"Not Minnownight?" Finchstar meowed, and Beestar laughed with amusement, shaking her head.

"Too easy."

Hollypaw cheered Minnowday's name loudly, which caused the other clans to start shouting too. Beestar grinned, pleased. She sat back down.

Quickstar got up. "Well, I've gotten reports from rogues that our scent is... too earthy." A pause. "That is all." They got back down.

Stonestar got up, as well. "Let me share my good news, then. Oakdapple has given birth to kits!"

Daisyshadow's eyes widened, and her tail twitched. Hollypaw and Lichenpaw gasped. Finchstar's ears rose. "That's great!"

Stonestar rolled his eyes, but he did shoot Finchstar a smile. "They are Brookkit and Algaekit, as fitting for what our territory is near." He frowned, the smiling of the news of the kits fading away to what Finchstar's clan looked like. "Now, you."

Finchstar got to her paws, looking at her clan. Nobody else. "... There is something lurking on the outer edges of Rattleclan and Needleclan, and-" Finchstar growled, claws curving into the rocks below her. "Rogues. They accused us of taking their turf, and then-" Finchstar paused. Something wet landed on her paw. "Right in front of us, killed Lightningpaw and Petuniaclaw. A surprise attack."

Silence. A few gasps. A fluffy white cat with orange tabby ears, tail, and back pinned her ears back.

"... Be careful. I don't know where they ran after I got done with them." A pause. "... Our other apprentices are adjusting well. That is all."

Beestar got a little closer, paused, looked away. "... Clan gathering adjourned?"

"Please."
