Riverlightning

Ginger and white patched tom with dark blue eyes.

He/Him

Gullclan Senior Warrior & Founder

Strange / Great Speaker

An odd but all the same prickly tom, Riverlightning is an oddity among Gullclan's ranks – mostly due to his seeming hate for Gullstar himself. He stays around, if only for the sake of his nephew Splashfoot, but he can often be caught glaring at the leader or nitpicking the other tom's choices, all the way down to what prey he chose that morning. Riverlightning sees Gullstar's methodology of not starting any fights but most definitely ending them stupid – letting the other clans walk all over them until there's no choice but to fight back doesn't make Gullstar the "bigger person". It makes the clan as a whole look weak; they may as well be those woven mats that Twolegs put in their doorways to wipe off their paw-covers.

Riverlightning is convinced that he would've been a better leader for Gullclan – both before the clan was truly formed, and even more so now that it's an official group. Most of the time spent with his nephew, Riverlightning spends trying to convince Splashfoot that Gullstar really isn't all that great. He can't let his sister's kit get washed away in the tide just like everyone else.
