#hopeflash retired right as i was writing up this update

[dawngen]

145 moons into moonclan. all clan founders have passed on to starclan, leaving behind a new generation to follow in their pawsteps. the legacy of sweetstar, an abandoned kittypet, is unmistakable, as most of moonclan’s ranks subsist of kittypets, loners, and half-clan cats, all united by the compassion that sweetstar instilled in the ranks of his clan.

the current ranking is:

bumblestar, newly appointed leader. formerly a kittypet. a wise and excellent fighter, they were the last deputy selected by sweetstar.

hopeflash, retired deputy. formerly a kittypet. a bold and brilliant speaker, her quick wit earned her position. she had an affair with the previous leader, sweetstar. she held her position temporarily until eventually, old age got to her, and she chose to retire. she helps provide her insight to bumblestar and the new deputy, coppershine.

coppershine, the newest deputy. a clanborn cat, she is the daughter of hopeflash, which may have been what earned her position. at only nineteen moons, many cats have questioned bumblestar's decision in elevating such a young, fresh warrior to this position.

echorise, longstanding medicine cat. left abandoned as a kit at moonclan's border. he was primrosestrike's last apprentice, and carries her memory close to heart. he is easily jealous, and struggles in his connection with starclan.

notable cats:

ken, a former kittypet warrior who made it back after being recaptured by twolegs, choosing to return to his clan at the first chance he got. no longer does he want to remain with twolegs, as moonclan has taught him true loyalty.

graymask, a former loner. she is the mate of bumblestar, and often provides her insight. her great wisdom and intelligence has other cats seeking her out often.
