“People always say the stars and the moon were made for each other. Me? I believe that the moon and the starless nights deserve a little more credit.

When the sky loses its stars, the moon is always there. When the moon is covered by the cloud, the sky is always there.

They’re depending on each other, as they have been- forever.”

tell me about half moon in your rewrite pls

i love you anon I am kissing directly on the lips in a platonic way thank you so much for leting me talk abt my girltragedy

Im still ironing stuff out. So alot of things havent been developed or ares subject to change. feel free to leave suggestions for changes or things that could be added. Questions abt this are also welcome. I love getting asks they r so tasty

Firstly to properly understand everything im gonna have to tell you some of the Rewrite Lore. 1. The three (and Dovewing but shes not important rn) are reincarnated gods. Every once in awhile they reincarnate into random cats. I might change their names but for now they're just called Jay, Lion, and Holly. 2. there are three groups. I havent come up with names for them tho :l The leaders of the groups are named Tiger Stripes and Leopard's Claws. 3. no time travel bc that plot was kinda dumb.

Her name is originally Bright Moon. But I will call her Half moon for convenience. She is a softpaw along with her friends, Jay's Wing, Lion's Roar, Fallen Leaves, and Holly Berry. (like in canon Lion isnt related to jay and berry) But her, Jay's wing and Holly berry are especially close.

There isnt any romance with Jay in this they r just besties. Moon and Berry on the other hand are doomed and tragic yuri. (Qpr edition!) Both of them are aroace.

Things are all great until Fallen Leaves Dies. They're all very sad but Lion is especially distraught. In his grief he starts to distance himself from the others. Half Moon trys to confort out him but he pushes her away.

Like one or so month after Fallen Leaves' death the leader of their group dies. They hold a vote for who should be the new leader. The two candidates are Falling Flakes (name pending) and some random ancient cat. The group is very split on who should be the leader as some think Falling Flakes will lead them to be stronger and others things hes too violent.

The night before the vote Jay's wing has a vison that if Flakes becomes leader life as they know it will be wiped out. He tells this to his friends (incuding Lion) The vote is split evenly and despite Jay's warning Lion's roar (who is the newest sharpclaw here) casts the final vote for Falling Flakes.

Jay gets upset with Lion for not heading his warning and they get into a fight. Moon and Berry take jay's side which strains Lion's relationship with them further.

As predicted Falling Flakes starts agressing the other groups. Lion's Roar is his bigest supporter. When a fight eventually starts with Leopard's claws group Lion's Roar kills his right hand man which ony makes things worse. Half Moon is horrified by what her friend has become.

But something else is happening in Half Moon's own group. Anyone who speaks out against Flakes mysteriously is found dead near the border and is used as justification for attacking the other groups. Moon has a sneaking suspicion of why this keeps happening.

The group of three friends agree that Falling Flakes must be taken down. Holly Berry has an idea but she refuses to share it with the other two. She just asks them to trust her. Jay's wing is hesitent but agrees. Half Moon tells Holly Berry that she would trust her with her life.

And then a few days later Falling Flakes is found dead by a river. So now the group needs a new leader. Lion's roar is the obvious choise but Half Moon nominates Holly Berry as the other choice. She gets acused of being biased but Jay's wing claims he had a vision saying that she should be the other leader canidicandidate.

Some insist that they dont need to vote because Lion was practically Flake's second hand man but the elders say they must respect tradition.

Half Moon asks if Jay actually had that vision and he tells her the vision was just a Holly bush grown over the voting spot.

The vote is once again close but Berry wins in the end. Lion is put under close watch. Half Moon congrats her dear friend and thinks that everything will be fine now. What she doesnt know is that the worst is yet to come.

The fights have hurt the land and winter is now apon them. (the story starts in really early spring) so now theres a famine. Everyone is extremely desperate for prey. Combined with highted aggression cats will fight tooth and nail for prey.

Many cats in all groups starve to death. This includes Half Moon's own mother. Moon is racked with grief. One of the remaining people in her life who cared about her is gone. (her father died long before this) And it doesnt help that Holly Berry has been more distant. so she leans on Jay for surport.

Holly Berry is not handling any of this well. She is very stressed by everything. Flakes' remaining supporters say that if Lion had been put in charge they'd be doing much better off.

Berry starts to spiral. That maybe if she hadn't killed Flake so soon the cats who starved would still be alive. Maybe Half Moon's mother would still be alive. She tells everyone to get prey by any means necessary. In the end she deside that she should attack Leopard's claws group. That if they drove them out there'd be more prey to go around. And its what Lion's roar would do.

So she does. Almost every cat in the group dies. Leopard's claws himself dies to Holly Berry's own claws. The survivors flee, getting scattered. Anywho in her group who dissagred was threatened with violence and told 'we could always use one less mouth to feed' so they stut up.

Tiger Stripes desides to leave the lake because they were hit the worst by the famine. (but everyone else left doesnt know that till later)

Holly Berry's actions anger Jay's wing. He wants to kill Berry but Moon convinces him to talk with her. Reluctanty Jay agrees. Beacue deep down he still cares about his sister.

So they go and have an invention. Jay yells at for a while but basically he says he says that she only made things worst. Angered by this, Holly Berry lunges at him. She accidently slits his throat or hits something important (but he doesnt die instantly)

Holly Berry, realizing that she just killed her how brother is mortified by this. Half Moon goes of on Berry . She says that Jay's wing was right and that they should have killed her. That the Holly Berry she loved died the day she became leader.

Realizing that she Fucked Up Big Time Holly Berry runs into the tunnels, never to be seen alive again.

Half Moon on the other hand is deep in grief for both Jay's Wing and Holly Berry. She officially changes her name to Half Moon to represent how she fells like half of her is gone.

When she goes to sleep she is greeted by a many winged cat (think biblically accurate angels) who looks an awful lot like Jay's wing. He tells her go leave and go in the direction of the mountains. She asks him what his name is but he juts tells her she'll know soon enough. Moon tells the remaining members of the group that they should leave and while most deside to go with her, Lion and a few others deside to stay in the dieing land.

When they make it to the mountains she gets named Stoneteller. Half Moon swears to never care for anyone as much as she did Holly Berry.

She lives out the rest of her life plagued with guilt. Maybe if she tried harder to reach out to Lion's Roar he would have listened to Jay's Wing's warning. Maybe if she had tried to help Holly Berry with leader ship more she wounldn't have drove away the other groups .Maybe if she hadn't deterred Jay's Wing from killing Holly Berry, he'd still be alive.

Despite everything she can't bring herself to hate Lion or Holly.

Every once in a while the winged tom meets her in her dreams and tells her something. (prophecy, warnings etc)

Many years later, soon after Gray Wing and the others leave for the forest, she peacefully passes in her sleep. In death she is met by the winged tom once more. He finally introduces himself as Jay. Half Moon asks if he's Jay's wing. Jay tells her that Jay's wing was a incarnate of him but they are two separate entities.

Next she asks where Jay's wing is and a new voice chimes in telling her that hes a ghost unable to pass on like the others. She turns around and is met by a pitch black molly with glowing light yellow eyes with a striking resembles to Holly Berry.

She introduces herself as Holly, the god of death itself. She elaborates that Jay's Wing Holly Berry, Lion's Roar, and Fallen Leaves are still trapped on the mortal plane. But then says that they didnt bring her here just to tell her she'll probably never see any of her friends again.

Jay says they are doing something they've never done before. Half Moon turns to faces him. He extends his paw and offers her the chance to become a higher being. She hesitates for a moment but still takes it.

Basically this means she becomes a demigod. Now she watches over and guides the tribe. Forever will she be willing to hold out hope that one day she will be reunited with her friends and the love of her life.

The story of why they left their old home was different from telling to telling. As time went on all those tellings merged. Eventually Holly Berry was told as nothing but tyrant, Half Moon being the one who heroically stopped her regin of terrier at the cost of her best friend's life. The knowledge of bond that Half Moon and Holly Berry shared was lost to time, now only known to them.

Kelpie - Exploring the Territory

Kelpie is Hollymoon's mother. She replaces Leafpool in this au.

[sallytwo]

i have an old warriors au where the "there will be three" prophecy was given to tigerstar instead of firestar and it was about tawnypelts kits (flametail dawnpelt and tigerheart). (it was stupidly complicated and more complex then this but whatver). anyway the important part was that holly was a medicine cat and kind of a shunned freak (a la goosefeather) who received divine visions and predicted the eclipse and her name was hollymoon. yay <3

[canon-notcanon-warriorcats]

Moonleaf is good but also i think Hollymoon is such a pretty name! I could also see Half Moon/Hollyleaf AU where she stays as the med cat, getting "dreams from StarClan" about how to keep the clans in better line with the Code but it maybe being the Dark Forest manipulating her? Idk idk just a thought but her rigid belief in the Code could def be a strong manipulation point.

hollymoon IS a really pretty name! i just think having the prefix be the part that alludes to half moon makes more sense actually-

maybe hollymoon WOULD make more sense since the "moon" in half moon is also the second part of her name

and holly starts with h like half

and if she stays a medicine cat then leafpool could still name her hollymoon after the moonpool (and then jayfeather gets named jayleaf instead cause squirrelflight asks firestar to name him after leafpool like she did with hollyleaf and he doesn't get named after stinky crowfeather anymore) and it ALSO comes full circle (heh full circle... like a full moon... and the moon looks like a circle) because the moonstone and therefore the moonpool were both TECHNICALLY named after half moon so the moonpool was named after half moon who when reincarnated got named after the moonpool!

and that would make her the closest of her siblings to their birth mother when they all find out, so then her confronting her mother and trying to get her to eat death berries is even more impactful and even more fucked up and even more incredibly incredibly heartbreaking

never mind anon you're absolutely right, hollymoon is so so much better

[everybody-loves-purdy]

So I'm thinking for an au, what if I made Hollypaw (later Hollymoon) blessed by Half Moon, while Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Dovewing were blessed by their ancient counterparts. Half Moon is also the mother of Jay's Wing and Dove's Wing instead. Rock can be her strange father, or strange grandfather who wanders and comes back once in a while.

I didn't know how to include him, especially since HE claimed to be the first Stoneteller. Now that I think about it, his character felt a little half-baked.

Anyway, can I tell you about this Rock/Midnight idea I had?

I really like this! Maybe with Rock he could either have that first Stoneteller thing retconned or make it ambiguous whether or not he is an immortal being (so he would be around to father kits) or just an old liar who ends up becoming a ghost after he dies?

Yes of course go ahead!

Yes the stoic ask was for the ladies.

Okay! Their reactions would be about the same, but I'll still elaborate a little more!

Drelyth - Drelyth would be a tad confused and then a bit flattered. She'll try to get you to come out of your shell a bit, but if you push back or she sees it's not really working, she's not going to force the issue.

Sumiel - Sumiel would just let you be you. She doesn't mind if you're stoic around strangers or not. She's pretty shy around people she doesn't know, so she's not going to make a fuss or anything.

Daeri - Daeri's gonna try to get you to be a bit more... lively when you're around other people. That said, Daeri kind of likes the fact that you're only soft and nice with it. It makes her feel special and definitely inflates her ego a bit more.

Ariela - Ariela's fine. She, too, is pretty stoic/cold in general, so she wouldn't even think twice about it. She'll honestly probably not even notice a difference.

Saevain - Saevain kind of gets it, since she's pretty rude and abrasive to everyone except you, when you're in a relationship with her, so she wouldn't mind.

[mothden]

I guess its time to showcase my starting dragons from flight rising and their first egg clutch from awhile back! Top ones are Hollymoon and Stormtide and the dudes below them are their kids Moonvine and Oddball.

I was very surprised to find Oddball was born with extra eyes..apparently its rare? I still have a lot to learn about flight rising.

[REDACTED] Character Reference - V1

???

[we-rate-warrior-names]

What vibes do you get from the names: Mushroomshade, Yewfrost and Hollymoon? You don’t have to do them all if ya don’t want to! ❤️

Mushroomshade - An introverted and thoughtful cat. Mushroomshade likes to take some time alone to reflect on things and daydream about the future, they aren’t always optimistic in what they imagine the future to be like, but they try to be. Mushroomshade doesn’t really talk much to other cats, they just don’t often feel like they have anything worthwhile to say, but they are by no means unkind, just socially awkward. They will always help out where they can, despite their anxieties about doing it wrong, their clanmates recognise that they get anxious sometimes, and will always kindly encourage them, making often Mushroomshade a little emotional, 15/10

Yewfrost - A proud and serious cat. Yewfrost likes to push themselves to their limit in order to ensure they are the best warrior they can be, they have strict training programme they stick to, they will always find ways to make it harder for themselves if they find it is becoming too easy. Yewfrost can be pretty intense sometimes, especially when they get passionate about something, or when they get criticised, they do not take criticism easily. Yewfrost doesn’t see themselves as a cat that has time to mess around, they are completely loyal to their clan, and they believe that hard work and commitment are the best ways to show this, 15/10

Hollymoon - A gentle and intelligent cat. Hollymoon always knows just what to do to comfort a cat when they need it, and they will help that cat as long as they need to be, Hollymoon cannot bear to see any of their clanmates suffer and so will do anything they can to help, even if it’s just sitting with them. Hollymoon is a good problem solver and is a quick thinker, their fast and efficient mind is often called upon by their leader to help with strategies and negotiations, Hollymoon will always strive for a peaceful option where possible, and will only agree to resorting to violence when absolutely necessary, 14/10
