[wcamino-confessions]

anyway have some major points from my "Warrior Cats Rewrite" outline. long story short im rewriting the entire series bc i can, feel free to suggest things youd like to see :)

Overall:

-Please note that some of these bullet points dont make sense in the order theyre in bc i forgot to put them in chronological order and didnt have much time to fix it

-Each book has a different protag in a different Clan

-Some names, families, and pelt colours will all be switched around/changed

-Some characters will be aged up or down depending on when it makes sense to me for them to be born

-StarClan is fucking powerless. Instead these fiesty battlecats have a religion similar to greeks, with their main gods are based around the moon. Its considered super lucky for a kit to be born under a full moon, and naming a cat/kit "Moon-" is considered super disrespectful and can get both kit and mother shunned by the Clan or exiled

-WindClan never stopped tunneling

-Oakheart is still alive

-Assume no cats are related unless I state otherwise

-Lostsong, Wildblaze, Ferncloud, Ashfur, Brambleflower, and Tawnystorm are all related (Bramble, Tawny, Ash, Fern have the same father, Wild, Lost, Bramble, Tawny have the same mother)

-Acorn and Squirrel are Dust/Sand's kits, though they 2 are no longer mates

-The medicine cats cant have mates or kits rule is thrown out the window bc its stupid

Name Changes:

-Brambleclaw -> Brambleflower

-Tawnypelt -> Tawnystorm

-Sandstorm -> Sandstrike

-Firestar -> Sparkfern

-Leafpool -> Acornleaf

-Brightheart -> Lostsong

-Yellowfang -> Mirestorm

-Ravenpaw -> Ravensight

-Swiftpaw -> Wildblaze

1st arc (The prophecies begin):

- Protags are Sparkfern (ThunderClan, book 1), Yellowfang (ShadowClan, Book 2), Mistyfoot (RiverClan, book 3), Tallstar (WindClan, book 4), Tigerclaw (Book 5)

-1st book goes more or less the same with only minor changes until you reach the point where Sparkpaw was supposed to run into Mirestorm

-In this rewrite Brokenstar "out of the good of his heart" allows Mirestorm to stay in ShadowClan under 2 conditions. She gives up being a medicine cat and goes back to being a warrior, and she isnt allowed anywhere without a guard. She accepts

-Tigerclaw goes through with the plan to kill Ravenpaw but fails. Ravenpaw, terrified for his life, decides to switch to being a medicine cat

-WindClan hasn't been driven out, but only because Tallstar gave ShadowClan a good half of their territory

-Tigerclaw doesn't try any backhanded traps like the thunderpath one

-That being said, Cinderpaw still gets caught on the Thunderpath bc she wasnt paying attention to where she was going

-She still goes back to warrior training though bc this ThunderClan doesn't discriminate

-All the ShadowClan stuff happens a bit later than it does in canon

-Spottedleaf lives, but she's fucked up really bad (Blind in left eye, intense scarring on face and right side, unable to use back leg without pain, etc etc) and decides to demote herself as a medicine cat and mkve to the elder's den

-Ravenpaw still isn't fully trained, so ThunderClan enlists Barkface's help

-Ravenpaw ends up being named Ravensight sometime around the middle of the 3rd book

-Sparkpaw becomes Sparkfern around halfway through the book bc i dont try to pack what should be a month of buildup into 2 days so theres timeskips when theres nothing happening

-Sandpaw and Dustpaw become Sandstrike and Dustpelt before Sparkfern and Greystripe because they were apprentices for longer

-Tigerclaw kills Sparkfern by the end of book 1

-Tigerclaw tries to kill Bluestar, but she runs out of the den and Tigerclaw gets exiled

-Mirestorm decides to say fuck it and in book 2 pushes Brokenstar into the gorge in RiverClan territory

-After Redtail's death Whitestorm is made deputy

-Since WindClan never needed to be brought back Whiteclaw is alive now too

-Instead of Nightstar, after Brokenstar's death Blackfoot becomes Blackstar

- Whitestorm ends up getting killed so Sandstrike is made deputy

-On that note since Sparkfern is dead Sandstrike was Cinderpelt's mentor

-Both Swiftpaw and Brightpaw live, but both are heavily scarred and are renamed Deadspot and Lostface by Buestar

-Tigerclaw still leads the dogs onto ThunderClan territory, but instead of coming up with the canon plan they all live in fear until RiverClan decides that this is painful to watch and help out

-Deadspot and Lostface end up having a 2nd run in with the dogs and Bluestar looses her last life saving them

-Sandstar renames them Wildblaze and Lostsong

-ThunderClan don't actually hate Bramble and Tawny for being Tiger's kits, but they both feel irrationally guilty about it and that causes just as much of a strain

-Brambleflower is the one who leaves ThunderClan this time, while Tawnystorm stays

-Silverstream and Greystripe never get together. Feathertail and Stormfur are Silver and WhiteClaw's kits

-Also Leopardstar dies earlier and Stonefur becomes Stonestar

-Tigerclaw takes control of BloodClan and renames himself Tigerstar

-When Tigerstar tries to take over ShadowClan Blackstar tells him no

-Tigerstar tries approaching Stonestar for an alliance and the whole "shun half clan cats" thing, not knowing that Stonestar is a half clan cat (Bluestar still told both Mistyfoot and Stonefur the truth) and Stonefur tells him to get fucked

-tigerstar decides to merge with WindClan instead

-The whole fourtrees stand off still happens, but Brambleflower kills Tigerstar (who due to being a faux leader and not going to the moonstone only has one life)

2nd arc (The New Prophecy):

-Protags are Brambleflower (ShadowClan, book 1), Feathertail (RiverClan, book 2), Crowpaw (WindClan, book 3), Tawnystorm (ThunderClan, book 4), Nightcloud (WindClan, book 5)

-The cats that go on the quest are Tawnystorm, Brambleflower, Feathertail, Crowpaw, Squirrelflight, and Nightpaw (Nightcloud)

-Squirrel (who was born earlier than in canon and is therefor now already a warrior) follows Tawny on the quest

-Squirrel has a puppy crush on Tawny and she makes this fact painfully clear

-Nightpaw follows Feather around like a lost dog

-Crowpaw ends up dying instead of Feathertail bc Nightpaw was in danger

-Nightpaw becomes Nightcloud after the journey and develops a crush on Acornleaf

-She's torn between the two until she realizes Acorn doesnt feel the same about her (Acornleaf is in love with Mothwing in this rewrite bc i said so)

-Nightcloud is briefly devastated but then realizes that this makes things so much easier for her and starts dating Feathertail

-Tawny and Squirrel get together after 4 1/2 whole books of obvious pining

-Daisy is still there, but she only has one kit as the others have died (The living kit is Berrynose, now renamed Hay)

-Daisy gets in a relationship with Lostsong and Cloudtail bc thats my OT3 and bc i said so

-After loosing Hazel and Mouse she finds that she can't bring herself to get too attached to Hay so Tawny and Squirrel adopt him and Daisy just becomes that cool aunt™

-Insert a good 7 pages of Bramble freaking out that he's an uncle now

-Hawkfrost is still evil and traps Sandstar in a fox trap, but Mothwing kills him this time.

-Mothwing ends up badly injured from her fight with Hawkfrost and Acornleaf takes care of her

-Stormfur ends up dying

-Feathertail leaves RiverClan to be with Nightcloud

-Daisy/Lostsong/Cloudtail end up having Whitekit (wing), Rosekit (petal), and Honeykit (flower)

-Acornleaf and Mothwing become mates at one point and love each other very very much

-Mothwing is trans (comfort hc ive had aince forever, not purely for the sake of her and Acorn having bio kits i promise) and her and Acorn end up having Swanblaze (Hollyleaf) and Goldenfern (Lionblaze)

-since both Moth and Acorn are their Clan's only medicine cat neither can join the other's clan so Moth takes Swan and Acorn takes Golden

-a good 7 moon timeskip between arc 2 book 5 and arc 3 book 1

3rd arc (Power of Three):

-Protags are Mothwing (RiverClan, book 1), Crowstorm (WindClan, book 2), Goldenfern (ThunderClan, book 3), Littlecloud (ShadowClan, book 4), Swanblaze (RiverClan, book 5)

-[Everything that follows happens between TPB and the beginning of PO3]

-Since there's no "medicine cats cant have kits or mates" rule its common knowledge that Swan and Golden are Moth and Acorn's kits

-On RiverClan's side Graymist (who becomes a queen earlier here for the sake of convenience) nursed Swan alongside Sneeze and Mallow. Besides the feeding Swan spent most of her time hanging around and playing with Motha

-On ThunderClan's side, since Rosepetal is the medicine cat apprentice, Leafpool nurses and raises Golden. The entire Clan treats him like their kit though, especially his aunts Tawnystorm and Squirrelflight

-[Everything that happens this point happens in the actual arc]

-The 3 are Swanblaze, Goldenfern, and Crowstorm (Night and Feather's adopted son. He counts as part of the 3 bc Redtail (Sand's father) was half WindClan in this rewrite and his WindClan father also had Night and Crow's mother

-While both Swan and Golden knew they had a sibling in another Clan, they didnt officially meet until their 2nd gathering, when Moth and Acorn intoduced them to eachother

-Swanpaw met Crowpaw when Crow was chasing a rabbit and couldn't stop himself from falling into the river.

-Mothwing, who had taken Swanpaw on an outing to help her collect herbs, ended up saving him and bringing him back to camp while they waited for WindClan to come back and get him

-While Crow is intended to be Jayfeather's replacement here, he isn't blind. He is, however, deaf. He's still training to be a warrior though bc fuck canon

-Night, Feather, and Crow developed a sort of cat sign language they spread to WindClan to help make it easier for Crow

-It eventually ended up spreading to Bramble and Moth, who spread it to their Clans

-Different powers and shit

-Swan has a sort of foresight. She can tell whats going to happen a few moments before it happens. While she brushes it off as good instincts, when she develops it more later in the series her foresight stretches up to a moon in advance

-Golden still has super strength. He aint invincible tho cuz that was a horeible plot point

-Crow can see and speak to ghosts in the living world. Not just StarClan or dead cats, but any dead animal. If he wants to speak to a dead fox he 100% can

-The 3 still know about the prophecy due to Swan training as a med cat and accidently getting it (She eventually ends up dropping it and Willowshine becomes the med app instead)

-Sol comes in and then the eclipse happens

-Golden and Crow are 100% ready to trust this strange cat they met 2 days ago but Swan is like yo dudes wtf

-That whole plot point happens, Sol tries to go to ShadowClan, but Blackstar tells him to fuck off so he does

-Swanpaw ends up accidently killing him (tried to threaten him into leaving the Clans alone using the dunk and let breathe method, ended up drowning him). The guilt she feels from it is what causes her to drop being a medicine cat apprentice and become a warrior.

-Ashfur still had a crush on Squirrel and is extremely jealous of Tawny. He tries the whole fire scene thing with Haynose, but before he's even halfway done with his monologue he stops for 3 seconds, looks around him, and realizes just what the fuck he's trying to do

-He helps Squirrel and Hay out of the fire, apologizes profusely, and turns himself in to Sandstar, accepting whatever punishment she gives him

-Bramble 100% visits both Hay and Swan at least once a week. Sand and Stone have realized by now that stopping him wont work so they just allow it

-There's no huge gathering scene this time because there isn't a big secret to tell

-The arc does end, however, with Swan finding Stonestar's lifeless body laying in his den

4th arc (Omen of the Stars):

-[NOTE: This section is unfinished due to lack of ideas]

-The whole Stonestar's dead body thing is going to be addressed, but i just dont have any ideas for that so its not addressed for now

- Dove and Ivy are both spoiled rotten by their aunts and grandparents

-As such Dove gains a sorta "entitled" attitude. Like not full tantrum entitled, but getting moody/snappy when she doesnt get what she wants

-Ivy is the same way, just a bit less snapping and a bit more silent treatment

-Brambleflower!!!! Has kits!!! With Rowanclaw!!!

-Yes, I am a big fan of the trans Rowanclaw hc

-I am giving Bramble Tawny's canon mate

-why?

-bc its what he deserves

-Anyway, Their kits are Brindlekit/heart (Tigerheart), Dawnkit/shade (Dawnpelt), and Russetkit/tail (Flametail), who I am aging down bc in canon these 3 already have their full names

-Tawny and Squirrel 100% babysit from time to time

-Dark forest trainees stay the same, but this time add in Dovewing, Bumblestripe and Briarlight

-Haven't read, unable to make an outline

-Briarlight didnt make it in time to push Longtail out of the way, so Briarlight isnt paralyzed and Longtail is dead

-Bumblestripe still has a crush on Dovewing, but is way more lowkey and less "creepy" about it

-Swanblaze becomes mates with Minnowtail

-Acornleaf dies in the Last Hope

-So do Brambleflower, Goldenfern, Honeyfur, Graymist, Spiderleg, Applefur, Olivenose, Redwillow, Ferretclaw, Tallpoppy, Whitetail, Heathertail, Reedwhisker, Robinwing, Mosspelt, Pouncetail, and Dovewing

5th arc (A Vision of Shadows):

-[NOTE: This section is empty due to me not having finished this arc.]

6th arc (The Broken Code):

-[NOTE: This section is empty due to me not having read this arc]

[bruttomisandro]

im a bit oof about the idea of Mudclaw being Nightcloud's dad, bc that would mean she and Crowfeather are distantly related :// Mud's mom is sister of Crow's grandfather, this tree is such a beautiful mess, i recommend checking tho

Fuck u are right, ryestalk and Stagleap, but I am so into my own family tree hcs(which are in my blog) that I forget about canon family which are really messed up. Tell, it makes sense that the Morningflower and Ashpelt are Onestar's sisters???

[canon-notcanon-warriorcats]

hc on breezepelts family (daughters) and his relationship with heathertail?

smokehaze and woodpaw are non-binary

sparkpelt and brindlewing dated once

brindlewing is sassy and grumpy

smokehaze is upbeat but shy and is really quiet and is really good at creeping up on prey (and other cats), she has a bad case of resting bitch face though

applepaw is upbeat, shy, but has a sharp tongue when you get her mad

woodpaw is really mellow and has a dry sense of humor, she seems irritable but her voice is just weirdly monotone and has resting bitch face as well

breezepelt is still incredibly mushy only to heathertail and gets bashful and blushy every time she says she loves him “breezepelt, you two have been mates for years now, you have 4 children together” “yeah but she??? LIKE likes me??? the most beautiful she-cat in the clans!!!???? in the whole world???!!!!”

heathertail loves it and so tells him all the time and finds him adorable and they just love each other so so much

breezepelt is terrified each time he finds out his wife is having children and is scared he’ll be a bad dad, but his daughters adore him and think he’s super cool from all the stories about him, but then when they get older they’re like “our frail old dad??? a badass villain???? lol that’s ridiculous that can’t be true he’s all bark and no bite”

him and heathertail actually spoiled the kits a lot and when smokehaze and brindlewing were kits and apprentices they terrorized windclan and did pranks at gatherings to the other apprentices and warriors and elders

they didn’t learn from their first litter, and now applepaw and woodpaw do the same thing lol while brindlewing and smokehaze laugh

they also all tackle and pull pranks on grandpa deputy crowfeather

but NEVER on nightcloud

you don’t fuck with grandma nightcloud

grandma whitetail said that they’d prank her to death one day

and then the next day she died (not actually related to pranking, kestrelflight said it was some sort of illness, but the kits felt extremely guilty for like a moon and didn’t do any pranks on other cats after that)

Family Headcanons

I do like a lot of the Missing Kit stuff that Su Susann made but i’m also gonna make a few different hcs for them!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Boulder had kits with a BloodClan molly and brought them into ShadowClan to keep them safe. He raised Nightwing (mother to Smokepaw and Talonpaw, mate to Smokefoot) and Wildfur (silver tabby tom with black stripes and a broken back) as a single father.

- Tallpoppy and Cedarheart are the parents to Toadfoot, Applefur, and Marshkit. Marshkit (light brown tabby tom) died of greencough. Tallpoppy and Cedarheart retired together. Toadfoot fell for one of Fernshade and Wolfstep’s daughters, Ivytail, and they had Stonewing and Wasptail. They were apprenticed late as the DF battle postponed it. Both parents passed away before the two were made warriors.

- Leopardstar’s littermates’ warrior names would have been Oatflake, Waterfur, and Carptooth.

- Darkflower and Scorchwind’s second litter was Kinkfur and Pouncetail. Kinkfur inherited Darkflower’s fluffy, spiked fur.

- Dawnflower and Finchflight had Crowfrost and Spiderfoot after Blossomkit and Swampkit. They were hover-parents and always worried for their kits. Spiderfoot later became a kittypet named String Bean who often looked out for his family when he could.  

- Heavystep and Vixentail had Mintfur, Graymist, and Otterheart. This means the two immortal RC cats are related. Otterheart had died at the lake after being chased and shot by young twolegs for fun.

- Reedwhisker is the father to Duskfur’s kits, Curlfeather and Podlight. Curlfeather has unusually curly fur and Podlight has his facial features.

- Reedtail, Skyheart, and Greenflower were all mates, and he fathered both litters. (Green: Duckkit, Dragonflykit, and Duskfur // Sky: Icewing and Pinefur) The trio were inseparable. Duskfur considered naming her kits after her dead siblings, but decided against it.

- Aspenfall and Plumclaw had Runningbrook, Robinwing, and Willowclaw. Willowclaw was named after her mother. They had a second litter consisting of Whitetail and Adderkit (CotC) Runningbrook and Pigeonwing (Pigeonpaw in TR) had Gorsetail (PO3) and Thistlepaw. Robinwing and Tawnyfur had Owlwhisker and Weaselfur. Weaselfur hates the DF as his brother was killed. 

- Larksplash and Crowfur had Nightcloud, Dewspots, and Webfoot. These siblings weren’t really that close growing up, but Dewspots tried to be the best aunt to Breezekit as she could until she passed away from treading too close to a horse while trying to chase down a chicken in the Horseplace.

- Tallstar’s siblings grew up to be Flylight, Rabbitsnout, and Bristletoe. Flylight and Willowclaw’s first litter was Stoneclaw and Thrushwing. Stoneclaw was killed by ShadowClan + Thrushwing became permanently injured. Moons later, they had Antpelt and Leaftail. Leaftail had more than one reason to hate the Dark Forest after he found out on his own that his brother had died in there twice.  Rabbitsnout and Smoky (forbiddenly) had Boulderfur and Furzepelt.  Bristletoe and Ivy, a kittypet + one of Sol’s sisters, had Emberfoot among other rogue kits. A young Ember begged to join WC because he grew up with Warrior stories and was allowed in. Emberfoot was fiercely loyal to WC and did not know Bristletoe was his father, but it was suspected.

- Mowgli/Nightwhisper and Sorrelpetal (Sorrelpaw in TR) had twins: Tawnyfur and Gorsetail (TNP). Their relationship never went past a one night stand, and moons later Mowgli joins ShadowClan. He went to the Dark Forest, where he learned of his family. He regrets not going to WindClan, but was too loyal to Tigerstar to really care. 

- Dawnbright and Loudbelly are the parents to Whiteclaw and Shadepelt. Whiteclaw did have a crush on Leopardstar, but she saw him as the little brother she never got to have. When he died, she felt as if she lost another sibling. They had another litter consisting of Voletooth, Stonestream and Splashpaw. The Splash + Stone story Su created remains the same.

- Heronwing, Poppydawn, and Rabbitleap all inherited their father, Weedwhisker’s, eyes. 

- Voleclaw passed away from a cancerous growth before his mate Dawnflower’s kits were born. Pebblefoot is a tiny copy of his father and Tumblekit grew close with her pop in StarClan. Dawnflower suspected that her daughter, Minnowtail, had a crush on Mousewhisker of ThunderClan but never confronted her about it.

“10%” MYO

!! Warning this is a really long post so I put most of the information under the cut !!

so i did the randomizer myo that @10leftau did!! and personally i really like the results i got!! i did 16 survivors bc it’s in between 13-20 and that’s what the generator gave me when i plugged those numbers in- anyways onto the cats!!

ThunderClan survivors: Spiderleg, Sorreltail, Hollyleaf, Greystripe, Lilykit, Cherrypaw

ShadowClan survivors: Redwillow, Crowfrost

WindClan survivors: Breezepelt, Nightcloud, Larkpaw, Emberfoot, Weaselfur

RiverClan survivors: Rushtail, Podpaw, Troutstream

Hollyleaf would take over the role as leader since she’s a the most leader-like in my opinion and none of the other cats really have many leadership qualities to me. While she does care for the group she can get snappy and overreact to things. She is generally fairly stubborn when it comes to protecting the group as a whole. Crowfrost would take over the role as deputy and generally is there to help calm Hollyleaf down. While Hollyleaf is pretty judging, Crowfrost tries to look at both sides and refrains from immediately making assumptions. Crowfrost is also a bit of a pushover. Both are pretty different but it helps balance each other out.  I decided that Podpaw/light would become medicine cat there aren't any alive ones! He would get his training from Hollyleaf since she did train as a medicine cat at some point. Since I don't believe that Breezepelt and Redwillow would willingly join the survivors so I've decided that they would be taken as "prisoners". Hollyleaf originally just wanted to kill them but was convinced not to by Nightcloud begging her and the fact that they could use them for information on the Dark Forest.  now onto relationships!! Spiderleg after having his entire family die he feels a huge amount of guilt especially after being so distant towards Daisy/Rosepetal/Toadstep. Due to this he generally avoids the younger cats and isn't very talkative to many. He isn't really close to anyone except for Greystripe since they can relate on the guilt they feel. Despite his general avoidance of younger cats, he takes over Cherrypaw's training though not for long as she was already warrior age by the time of the battle. He and Cherrypaw don't have a close relationship like many mentors have with their apprentices.  Sorreltail takes the role as a mother to the group due to losing almost all of her kits. She keeps up a bright demeanor for everyone else and looks after all of the apprentices (and Lilykit). She is very protective of Lilykit due to her being her last living kit and Cherrypaw due to her being her granddaughter. Sorreltail is generally liked but is close friends with Emberfoot and Nightcloud. After the group gets settled she becomes a permanent queen. Sorreltail and Greystripe also get closer to each other during this due to them being half-siblings!  Hollyleaf has a generally mixed reputation in the group due to her abrasive nature. She is a very protective force for her clan though does definitely come off as harsh. Despite her leader role she has been quite distant towards some of the other members due to fear of attachment. Even though Breezepelt is her last living (close) relative, she hates being around him. After the battle she blamed her brother's deaths on Breezepelt and basically disowned him as her brother; refusing to acknowledge their relation. She and Crowfrost have a fairly good friendship along with Sorreltail. While she may still ate how Leafpool and Squirrelflight lied to her and her brothers, she does regret how horribly she treated them and wished that they fixed their relationship before they died. Greystripe is more or less the resident grandpa and just like Sorreltail he has a very bright demeanor as well to cope with all the loss that the group experienced. He often spends his time around the apprentices and Lilykit as they love hearing stories about his misadventures (especially the ones with Firestar). Despite having such a controversial past, he's generally liked by most of the group and is considered a very friendly figure. He's very friendly with the group but is closest to Spiderleg, Sorreltail and Emberfoot. Cherrypaw, Larkpaw and Podpaw are all very close with each other due to such experiences from a younger age. They often cling to each other for emotional support and are basically three peas in a pod. Cherrypaw is the most excitable out of all of them as she inherited her grandmother's positive nature and she uses her close relationship with Larkpaw and Podpaw as a way to cope with losing her brother. Larkpaw is more timid around the others due to bullying she suffered before the great battle but she does gain more confidence after hanging around Cherrypaw. Podpaw is the voice of reason between them but usually gets tied up in their antics anyways. Lilykit desperately tries to get closer to them but is normally excluded from the group due to the fact that she's much younger than them. Redwillow and Breezepelt are basically both chaotic forces for the rest of the group. Since they're forced to be part of a group they hate, they usually let everyone know and act horribly around others. Breezepelt would probably soften up to the survivors due to Nightcloud being there while I don't think Redwillow would ever like the idea of being a decent member of the clan. Crowfrost takes on a more calm and rational role for the rest of the clan. Being deputy he takes his role seriously and tries his best to make sure everyone is okay (though he does often overwork himself). He has major survivor's guilt over being the only Shadowclan cat left alive (excluding Redwillow) and often feels like another Shadowclan cat should've lived instead of himself. I personally hc that Crowfrost was previously a kittypet before joining Shadowclan because he has no blood relations and just showed up during the 3rd arc. He has a very mixed reputation due to his kittypet heritage (some of the cats believe that he got it easy since he didn't lose any family even though he lost close friends and the entirety of what he could call a family) and the fact that he defended Breezepelt/Redwillow to at least not have them killed. Despite that he and Hollyleaf are close friends. Nightcloud has a pretty bad reputation in the clan from the start due to her defending Breezepelt and the fact that she's still bitter at Hollyleaf over the Crowfeather thing. She's distant at first and only really talks to Breezepelt but soon opens up and actually gains from friends. She ends up becoming close with Sorreltail and Emberfoot due to their struggles of being a parent after such a horrible experience. After a while Nightcloud tries to gain a better relationship with Hollyleaf and actually apologizes to her since she realizes that she shouldn't have been so harsh on her for something she couldn't control.  Emberfoot like Greystripe is a pretty likable cat in the group though some cats find him annoying due to his overprotection of Larkpaw. He is a more quiet and protective cat but he is a fairly nice person so there isn't much reason for other cats to hate him. He often feels like he failed his family due to only being able to save Larkpaw but he often brushes it off so he can spend more time with her. At first Emberfoot really dislikes Nightcloud and Crowfrost due to them defending the Dark Forest trainees, mostly as he wants to keep Larkpaw safe and away from cats who might just turn their back on the group. He soon becomes decent friends with Nightcloud after understanding that Breezepelt is her son. He and Crowfrost could also have a close relationship after that because Crowfrost is very good with younger cats and Emberfoot could always use some help to raise Larkpaw. Weaselfur is generally disliked due to his Windclan nationalism and just downright rudeness. Since Windclan was one of the majorities that survived, he finds no reason that they should join the other inferior clans and thinks that he should've become leader instead. He often thinks of "offing" Hollyleaf and becoming leader himself but since most of the cats actually think that Hollyleaf is a decent leader he doesn't exactly have a chance. He mentors Larkpaw after the events though not for a long time, he does try to convince her that Windclan is the only cat that should've survived. Despite not liking the other clan cats, he does have a ok friendship with Troutstream since they gossip a lot.  Rushtail has probably the most neutral reputation when it comes down to it. He doesn't really do anything for cats to hate him and yet he doesn't really do anything for cats to like him either. Rushtail is generally just a neutral cat and just does whatever benefits him the most (which is way he stays in the group because it's just the most beneficial option). He temporarily mentors Podpaw before he becomes a medicine cat and they have an ok relationship as Rushtail never showed too much interest in him. He and Troutstream are great friends though he doesn't know how to feel about Weaselfur.   Troutstream is also generally disliked at first because she's hot-tempered and is generally just a horrible person to be around. She is almost always complaining about something and loves fighting which isn't good for anyone. Surprisingly she wasn't a Dark Forest trainee but if she was given the chance she probably would've trained there. She and Rushtail are close friends since kithood and she often drags the tom into trouble. She's also very close with Weaselfur due to their gossiping tendencies but some cats believe that there's more to their relationship than what's shown on the surface. oof honestly i'm thinking about making a sideblog for this au since i really liked talking about it haha
