Story:

Feathercloud was always a good warrior. He would do everything he was asked of, went on dawn patrol every morning, gave first pickings to the elders, and most importantly, he did his best to make Orchidsmoke happy.

He knew how awful her life started. He wanted to protect her from ever feeling that pain again. He had thought that nothing could ever go wrong, everything was so perfect … then one morning, instead of waking in his nest, he found himself in Starclan. 

He watched everything that transpired after; and Feathercloud was there for both his mate's and his kits' trial. Despite knowing everything that they had done, Feathercloud still loved them with every inch of his being, and only grew to miss them more with every moon he was forced to live without them.

Feathercloud tried to figure out different ways to enter the Dark Forest, even asking other Starclan cats if they could help him; but they all ended up being a major bust since, of course, nobody wants to let him into the Dark Forest. He had never done anything wrong, just a poor, poor father missing his evil mate and kits.

He was kind of hesitanted, even with his determination to see his family again. Feathercloud decided that if they won't let him into the Dark Forest,  then he'll make them chase him out.

Better yet, he'd ruin others’ possible loves while he's at it. Why should they be allowed the chance of happiness that he had stolen from right beneath his paws? 

It all started with a young, naive Thunderclan medicine cat named Robinflame. The healer had an unrequited crush on a warrior named Silktwist. Feathercloud appeared to Robinflame in a dream, promising that he would help him get Silktwist. Soon those supportive messages became insistent. It’s okay for Robinflame to love, you only have one life. They just need to try harder. And harder. It’s important Silktwist becomes one with them, Feathercloud, a Starclan warrior, should know. Silktwist is her other half, and if she doesn’t share his feelings, does Robinflame’s own being even matter? She just can’t see it. They need to make her see it. 

Robinflame grew awfully obsessed with Silktwist, a horrible infatuation that ended in Robinflame’s death, killed by Silktwist’s brother after the healer murdered Silktwist to ensure that nobody else could have him.

Feathercloud didn't try to hide that he had a major hand in the murder, Robinflame even revealed so in his trial. But strangely enough, the other Starclan cats didn't seem to care! 

Feathercloud was confused, and decided that perhaps he needed more proof.

Second was Badgerhear, head over heals for Fawnstep; then Rabbitwhisker with a crush on Quailcry; and on and on it went. The cats began to blur together for Feathercloud, only some sticking out as bizzare, like that one cat he convinced to murder those they thought were in love with their crush, only for their crush to turn out to also be a murderer. Those two became mates after that. Feathercloud still feels weird about it.

The continued uncaringness of Starclan fueled Feathercloud’s increasing desperation.

He coerced Ashfur into becoming worse and worse in his obsession with Squirrelflight (not that he had to do much). And where does Ashfur end up after he was killed? In Starclan! At this point, Feathercloud began to wonder if Starclan were messing with him, or if they were just a bunch of brainless idiots.

He messed with Bumblestripe and Finleap a bit, but didn’t make them do much outside of acting creepy and pushy toward their respective love interests, Dovewing an Twigbrance.

It wasn’t until the incident with Ashfur’s possession did Starclan question allowing him into Starclan, and truly paid attention to Feathercloud’s actions.

At last, Feathercloud would be with Orchidsmoke again. Their kits had since faded, a fact that caused his heart to ache so painfully he thought he would die again, but he could stand it. Because he was finally with his love.

[validwarriorcatsnames]

this is emily (after emily dickinson), what would her warrior cats name be?

I'm letting down my English professors by only knowing a couple Dickenson poems. Hopefeather would be a nice allusion, but her coloring makes me think of clouds. Feathercloud, maybe. Soft

THE VERY FIRST EVER MADE

THE ONE THAT STARTED LOLLING AND MY FIXATION

[leafpool-loves-ashfur]

gay gay homosexual gay

gosh ngl Feathercloud from @firealder2005 and I’s fic Burning Thistles is by far my favorite character to not only write but to just... his personality, his story, his hardships, his family, his lovelife... I love it all sm i swear, and he’s not even a main character even vsjfsdkfjs but my love for him makes him one <3

Featherkit is one of Runningwind and Dappletail’s canonical kits- the deaf tom-kit who ‘wandered away’, but in BT he is Runningwind and Redtail’s son with Dappletail being his surrogate mother, born alongside his sister Crickekit :)

the amount of angst and fluff i can shove into this boy is incomprehensible

===========================================

There’s probably a LOT on here that do have refs, but I’m not gonna double-check every single one lol

Feel free to do one if you want! I’m fine with anyone using the Turukhan ref for my characters, you’ll have to ask the character’s owner if they belong to someone else. Link of who’s character belongs to who is on the long post linked on the pinned post.

Sometimes I don’t realize a character has a ref, because a different kind was given than the ychs I usually use, so let me know!

[salamanderheart]

i cannot stop thinking about feathertail & ferncloud.. i can’t believe these lesbians have been right under my nose and I never noticed because I didn’t bother to read the manga. I ADORE THEM.

#020 - Feathercloud

[we-rate-warrior-names]

Briarbelly, a mottled pale brown-and-cream she-cat with green eyes (Windclan's new warrior), her unrequited love Firetalon, a dark ginger tabby tom with amber eyes and a long reddish tail (Windclan's young deputy) and his potential mate Feathercloud, a pure white she-cat with long fur and blue eyes?

Briarbelly - An enthusiastic and extroverted she-cat. Briarbelly is eager to prove herself to her clan, and to Firetalon. She works very hard and she always can easily strike up a conversation. She always tries to find an excuse to talk to Firetalon, but his focus always seems to be elsewhere when he talks, deep down some part of her tells her it’s hopeless to try and pursue a relationship with him, but she will try her best anyway, 13/10

Firetalon- A serious and skilled tom. Firetalon is dedicated to his clan and he has worked hard to gain his position, he doesn’t do it for personal gain, he does it because he knows he can serve his clanmates well. He excelled in training and is highly skilled in combat, although he will never be violent unnecessarily, his tracking skills are also excellent, and he is constantly on alert while outside of camp. He greatly admires Feathercloud and would love to get to know her better, often ensuring she is in the same patrols he is in, and the two have gotten along very well so far, 15/10

Feathercloud - An intelligent and gentle she-cat. Feathercloud is a skilled and efficient hunter due to her quick thinking, she can often accurately predict where rabbits will run to and when they will get there, often managing to cut them off with relative ease. She’s noticed that Firetalon has taken a shine to her, and she is flattered by the attention, he seems a nice enough cat and who knows where this will lead? She feels bad for Briarbelly though, the younger she-cat clearly likes Firetalon but he seems oblivious to her advances, 15/10
