☆Leaders' Markings☆

In a great deal of Warriors fanon, the concept of leader's marks is explored. These mythical marks adorn the faces of leaders (of course) when they are accepted by StarClan. Some may choose to portray the marks in the shape of a star (of any number of points) on the forehead.

In my canonical universe, these marks are individualized and change shape over time, sometimes to the point that they barely resemble stars. While the canon depictions of my leaders aren't finished yet, you can at least look at their marks.

Songstar

Songstar (leader of PewterClan) has a very unusual mark. It has rounder edges than most and is quite frankly unrecognizable. It's still technically star-shaped but looks fairly like a group of leaves. As the most recent leader, her mark will take shape as she ages.

Burnetstar

Burnetstar (leader of KestrelClan) has a mark in the shape of some downy feathers. They're not particularly flashy feathers, but she likes it better that way. As she continues to lead the clan, those feathers may take on a less ambiguous look.

Brazenstar

Brazenstar (leader of ResinClan) has a mark in the shape of a copper or bronze blade of sorts. (Some may, of course, see the resemblance to a cross, but cats in my universe have no concept of Twoleg religion.) He is a fairly experienced leader, not having lived with Twolegs for over 24 Moons. As such, the sharpness and bold contrasts of his mark are worn with the utmost pride.

Snowstar

Snowstar (the curmudgeonly leader of BuntingClan) is the oldest of the four and has a mark in the shape of a snowflake. It is deliberately asymmetrical, but the reasons for its being so are known only to StarClan (and myself.) When the season allows, Songstar accents this unique mark with the mature blue-grey fruits of the bayberry plant, adding to his refined demeanor.
