During april, the cats of the valley turned into Benders of the Valley? woah Heres my idiots as benders

[fallenclan]

i was thinking about each of fallenclan's leaders (likely due to the dtiys) and then came to pondering about each of the deputies that didn't become leader, and how i think they'd behave as a leader. so here's a rambling summary of my thoughts!

nettlestem -- i strongly believe if nettlestem outlived scorchstar and was still deputy, she would have stepped down and given the leadership position to goldenflare. she was already pretty old at the time of becoming deputy, and i highly doubt she ever expected/wanted to be leader. HOWEVER, in this hypothetical, let's assume she did become leader. i think nettlestar would be strict but fair. i think a lot of her policies as leader would be pretty similar to scorchstar, since nettlestem only ever lived under one leader (and was mates with her). she'd chose goldenflare as her deputy for sure, and would probably take a less and less active role in leadership duties as he became more confident. i don't think she'd be leader for very long.

toro -- similarly to nettlestem, i don't think toro ever expected to outlive goldenstar, and i don't think she'd be fully onboard for leading a clan, but i believe she'd be an excellent leader if she ever had to step into the role. i think her leadership style would be a lot like goldenstar's, but i think cats would probably come to her with more personal problems as well (i might be wrong, but goldenstar seemed the type to be a bit intimidating to others, at least until they got to know him). she would have chosen maplethorn as her deputy.

hailcrash -- i think hailcrash would have been an unusual leader, stepping pretty far away from her predecessor's leadership styles, but ultimately she'd be a good leader. she wouldn't be afraid of making hard choices, and would be especially understanding towards younger cats. i think she'd take an especial interest in apprentice-training, and be sure to make herself as approachable as possible for the newer generations. she would want to be a leader her clanmates aren't intimidated by or afraid of. she would chose cherrydust as her deputy.

crowflame -- crowstar would be extremely strict but also fair. he wouldn't tolerate apprentice foolishness or petty arguments within the clan, and would be deadset on making sure the clan remains unified. the younger cats of the clan would 100% be extremely intimdated by him (and dread being sent to his den after misbehaving), but i think the older cats and those similar in age to him would enjoy teasing him. when he passed down the deputy mantle, he picked poppyfeather, and i believe this is because they have similar values/beliefs, and due to their close mentor-apprentice relationship. one part of me says he'd pick her as his deputy, but i also think he'd recognize the need for having a deputy who would challenge him or think differently from him. if not poppyfeather or antbite, i think he would have chosen bluefern, due to her empathy and determination to do what's right, as well as her being completely ready to call out crowstar if he did anything she disapproved of.

poppyfeather -- poppystar would be similar to crowstar in that she'd be strict but fair. i think she'd be more gentle than crowflame given her charismatic personality. i could say the same for any of these choices, but i think especially so with poppystar she'd be widely respected by both fallenclan and the other clans. poppystar would tolerate ZERO bullshit from shallowclan for sure. her vengeful side definitely has the potential to cause problems in her leadership (i don't think she'd ever be truly cruel towards clanmates - she'd probably hold grudges but never let it get in the way of her leadership) in regards to outsiders or the other clans. i could see renewed conflict with shallowclan and violetstar under poppystar's leadership. she would chose skyfrost as her deputy, recognizing the need for a more open-minded and forgiving cat to help her lead.

skyfrost -- the idea of the goober as leader is really funny to me. his policies and leadership style would be very similar to goldenstar, but his personality couldn't be further away. some clanmates might doubt him due to his childish and care-free attitude, and i think he might have trouble navigating leadership at first, but he'd grow into it. leadership would probably make skyfrost more mature (as i belief deputyship has done in-canon universe). i vaguely remember it being said that ospreyswipe would have been skyfrost's chosen deputy successor if ravenstar wasn't so awful, and i think it would make sense for ospreyswipe to be skystar's deputy. however, if he wanted someone more serious/able to balance his leadership, he would pick antbite.

levi -- although levi is the current deputy, i highly doubt he will ever succeed ravenstar, both due to levi's age and the fact that after ravenstar's leadership, i doubt any fallenclan cat would even let levi become leader. he'd be a lot like ravenstar as leader, but way more unregulated. levi seems the type who knows how to follow, not how to lead. he's good at supporting ravenstar, but he would be terrible at leading by himself. he'd be a lot harsher and more openly cruel than ravenstar as well. i think he'd chose sleepydawn as his deputy, recognizing his loyalty and "likemindedness."

let me know your thoughts, and if this is too long you can always hide it under a cut ofc!!

-🐉

YEAHHHH I love love love this analysis dragon..... its so accurate. i really love the idea that Nettlestem would give up the leadership to Goldenstar. honestly? its not something id ever considered before but its so in character for her tbh, she just wants to support from the sidelines <3 and you're absolutely RIGHT with the poppyfeather thing, her vengeful thing could make problems yeah but shes different from ravenstar in that she doesnt let her personal little petty squabbles get in the way of whats good for her CLAN!!!

Seventeen - (very sketchy) warrior cat oc animatic. Animatic for my shared warrior cats ocs... click below for designs + extra info (and like "who the hell am i looking at" guide)

Lightshine: (round/"soft" fluffy cat. has a splotch over his eye but i forget to draw it past the beginning.) Tortishell tom with yellow eyes. Darkthorn: (Spikey "messy"-fluffy cat. the emo one.) Dark Gray cat with green eyes. Mouseclaw/star: (dorky short furred boy with big ears and the wavy hair tuft that looks like a battered wife) pale brown tom with blue eyes. Blackstone: Short furred plain-looking cat that gets flung and dies. (Darkthorns dad) Black tom with blue eyes and a white mark on his chest. (Spotted pelt is the previous deputy that died and name isnt decided but shes a girl.)- white flecked she-cat with green eyes. Breezecloud: the random cat thats in the dark forest. Gray and white tom with (pending) eyes. Nettlestar: Girl tabby that is also died. Lightshines mom and the leader before Mousestar. Light brown tabby she-cat with dark stripes and (pending) eyes. (her design pictured isnt exact)

BASICALLY plot: Lightshine is an evil medicine cat who uses his high status to disregard clan rules and eventually forces his childhood friend Mouseclaw to become leader - whom he uses as a puppet for his own rule- by faking prophecies. His mothers trust in him and the clans grief of his father prevents them from noticing his ambition before it goes out of control- which it does, when he eventually kills his own mother in secret in order to finalize his plans of becoming pseudo-leader while also being the clan's prophet. Darkthorn was the third of their childhood friend trio, but didn't quite get the attention Mouseclaw or Lightshine got. They grow bitter from loneliness, and their pessimism helps them realize Lightshines evil intentions when he witnesses the way the tom attempts to court every cat he gets along with, and the suspiciously casual way he orders other cats around. (Mouseclaw has more story of his own but in this context he's Lightshines victim who gets taken advantage of by his "best friend", but is too caught up in his own familial issues and 'feeling of unworthiness' to realize how cruel the other really is)

thinking up a new oc

another dark forest inhabitant (in the same universe as nettlestar & almondflight if anyone remembers them...<3 diff from melted ice) to be more specific

rn her name is lovesick but i think im gonna have that be her dark forest name/title (depending on the actions committed, a cat is given a diff name as a way to erase any good they did. the only focus is on the bad and thats what the name is far. for example darkeneddream's clan/warrior name was bugeyes and he had to be a good enough cat to be appointed deputy)

"Lovesick" was some cat's henchman idk who that cat is rn though but im thinking she was willingly going along with her. they weren't partners in crime. she was just working for this other guy. important. They were also from the same clan but I guess left ? idk what other guy's end goal was

said main evildoer was caught and killed. lovesick was taken in to the clan that defeated her, and even though her personality before was never too energetic before, cats def saw that she seemed more down that usual and chalked it up to her mourning. she wasn't though. she was just idk bored ? she was saved when she was never in trouble, Lovesick describes the other cat as "as the one star in the vast empty blue sky" she didn't worship this other cat, just thought they were fun to be around. I'll have to actually give this other lady structure before I land on what their relationship was

Someone who was on the road of mayhem, was forcefully taken out of it, only to go back to it...idk what she does

anyway i think as some tale told by the living cats, there's something about either saving someone who hasn't asked to be saved or something...because she most definitely did not consider herself as someone who needed it or if it's to completely erase anything she ever did, lovesick is a cat who haunts those falling in or out of any sort of love. if thats the case she'll have to had to do something REALLY bad

there's also this part of her story i want to include about rot and sickness. i think i could play that into butterflies in stomach thing.

LightningClan and DiamondClan info

LightningClan:

LightningClan was formed by a group of rogues who got caught in a storm and during an attempt to find shelter one of the cats; named Nettle noticed some lightning strike near an entrance to what appeared to be a forest grotto which was apparently pretty safe from the storm, so the rogues found refuge in the area and eventually decided to call it home. Soon after, Nettle got a vision from a cat known as Flaxstar who informed her that the place was once a home for a group of cats who had since been wiped out with Flaxstar himself being a part of that group at one point. Nettle gets her nine lives and becomes Nettlestar and everything else falls into place with the clan being named "LightningClan" after the way the camp was discovered.

DiamondClan: DiamondClan cats used to be a part of the Tribe of Rushing Waters who saw clan life as being somewhat better than tribe life and moved out and settled in the mountains that were pretty close to LightningClan's forest (not the camp, just the forest in general) the reason for which being that they're more accustomed to the mountains in comparison to the forests and plains. Their leader Brightstar was formerly known as Path that Burns Bright or just Bright for short. Also DiamondClan was named after the gemstones that grew out of the walls of the camp.

I drew my Warrior Cats OCs, Nightwhisker and Nettlestar for Pride Month!

They’re the Medicine Cat and Leader of RiverClan respectively, which means a lot happens that tends to complicate things, but they still end up finding the time for night dates 💜

[synonymroll648]

She’s taken under nettlestars wing and One off her assignments is to become the apprentice quickfur wants and She hates it but succeeds

poor bb :(( haha sure hope that doesn't irreversibly change her character through traumatic events for the worse in some lights...unless...? /hj

[cod-cats]

Working on the Warriors AU of CoD. Roach - Beetlecloud! He's a warrior in the Clan, sadly suffering from severe scarring from Shepherd - Nettlestar. He wears May Bug beetle wings. He's a great hunter and tracker, and usually speaks to Wrencreek - Yuri (Their medicine cat) about his problems.

“With a single stone, two wings shall be clipped.”

StarClan’s message to Rockdove has been a constant source of fear and insomnia for moons.

Now, it is coming to fruition.

Just as tensions were reaching a breaking point between StormClan and TalonClan, the latter’s leader Silverstar was found dead on the border.

TalonClan cats want revenge, but newly named Nettlestar is struggling to select a deputy, and the only healer they had—Petalpaw—is gone. Now is not the time to initiate a war in Silverstar’s honor.

When your leader won’t fight for justice, sometimes you have to take matters into your own claws.

An eye for an eye, a leader for a leader.

Looking for more TalonClan characters to rise to the occasion and fight to avenge Silverstar! We’d love to have you on board for this exciting and dramatic inter-Clan plot~   (Yet) Another Warriors RP is an 18+ Jcink roleplay: https://awrp2.jcink.net/index.php

“So Marigoldstar, how was your life ceremony?” Nettlestar asked, looking over at the younger leader. She sat with her tail neatly tucked over her paws, and her green eyes were piercing.

“Oh you know…” Marigoldstar nervously glanced over at the tree bridges. “It went. Very informative. I feel very alive. That stuff. You know?” she said quickly, not meeting the older cats eyes.

“Did you take the long way to the Moonroot then? My patrols didn’t smell yours as they passed.” Nettlestar asked, suspicion leaking into her voice.

“Yeah no Dayclan was very very generous letting us travel through. Didn’t want to intrude?” Marigoldstar forced a smile.

Nettlestar narrowed her eyes. “Hmhm. And how is the clan doing with the transition? You’ve picked a deputy haven’t you?”

“Yes of course! Slugtail has been very helpful. And we’re almost out of the grieving period and yeah. It’s great. Everything’s great.”

Nettlestar eyed the young leader suspiciously, before finally turning to talk to Crowstar.

Marigoldstar breathed a sigh of relief as Eveningstar leaped onto the Rockpile. “Marigoldstar.” He said curtly. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“I mean it’s the gathering. Leaderly duties and whatnot”

[smokeclan-oc]

Ivyflower - fluffy dark calico shecat

Family: Ruefeather (father), Cloverbud (mother), too many siblings to name  Gender / Sexuality: shecat / gay  Personality: smart, social, sweet talker, loves to socialize, hates being alone Backstory: It was after the apprentice den was empty for two seasons that the senior warriors realized something had to happen. They did too good of jobs training the young warriors, and they were so focused on the clan, they didnt mingle. So the senior warriors and elders stepped in, arranging matings. The plan was to raise from a kit, the next leader of the clan. First contestant is Ivyflower. From a family of large cats who are skilled hunters and trackers, she picked up on the handed down skills with ease. Outshining her siblings even in the nursery, she picked up on hunting crouches that her clanmates would practice and mimicked them. When a small kit stumbled away from the nursery, five moon old Ivykit had ended up helping track him down even before the mother noticed he was missing.  Now a warrior, its obvious Ivyflower has no intention of having kits. She’s a sweet flirty shecat, who tends to flirt with *everyone*. She just wants to practice mating, she doesnt want to have kits. Because of this she’s definitely more openly interested in mollies than tomcats. It doesn’t put too much of a damper on her clanmates though because she’s so much fun to be around and knows how to balance fun and work. She is *always* chosen to go to gatherings. Everyone knows she’ll be the next deputy.  Ideal Partner: the girlboss from another clan, or the cute femme one, or gimme the other striving for leadership queen  Position | Clan: Warrior | Whisperclan 

Olivegaze - fluffy dark brown tabby tom

Family: Furzeskip (father), Sageleaf (mother), Runningstep (brother) Gender / Sexuality: tom / demisexual - aromantic  Personality: observant, apathetic, impatient, commanding, ambitious  Backstory: It was after the apprentice den was empty for two seasons that the senior warriors realized something had to happen. They did too good of jobs training the young warriors, and they were so focused on the clan, they didnt mingle. So the senior warriors and elders stepped in, arranging matings. The plan was to raise from a kit, the next leader of the clan. First contestant is Olivegaze. He comes from a line of famous leaders like Oakstar and Nettlestar.  A near identical copy of Oakstar, Olivegaze has the historical leader’s insane observant skills. He knows exactly what’s going on in every cats personal life by observing them. He then uses this to his advantage as needed. Typically, he uses it to offer help. Does he see a father who is a little aching thanks to an old injury, trying to  hunt prey for his kits? How sweet of Olivegaze to ask to go hunting for the nursery.  He’s a clever social creature. He ends up being a favored friend of those with secrets to hide, him being known for an incredible alibi. Thanks to this, the senior warriors and elders adore his personality and think he is the best qualified for the leadership position, but they are blinded by his bloodline, since he lacks an emotional attachment to the clan. Ideal Partner: the overly emotional one, or someone like greystripe as his deputy, or the emotional medicine cat who steers him the right way  Position | Clan: Warrior | Whisperclan

Alderknot - small dark ginger/brown tom

Family: Flamebark (father), Oakflight (mother), Sapsnout (sister) Gender / Sexuality: Tom / demisexual  Personality: smart, great leader, talks with respect to everyone, doenst *order* people around, he ask “Cinnamonpatch can you go with the dawn patrol?” Not “Cinnamonpatch youre going on the dawn patrol” Backstory: It was after the apprentice den was empty for two seasons that the senior warriors realized something had to happen. They did too good of jobs training the young warriors, and they were so focused on the clan, they didnt mingle. So the senior warriors and elders stepped in, arranging matings. The plan was to raise from a kit, the next leader of the clan. First contestant is Alderknot. From a long line of pureblood Thrushclan warriors, Alderknot is a perfect choice. Smaller than the average Thrushclan tom, he isnt seen as a big threat, but he is a great leader. When in command of his warriors, he leads them fiercely into battle. His smaller body makes him a great back up, able to weave through battle and support his warriors where needed.  He mentored his nephew, Slugtrail, and then his son, Moosestrike, in his deputy position. Alderknot is a great choice for leader, he’s smart and battle ready. Yet there’s just something off about him. He uses the sounds of a battlefield to guide him, and the feel of the fur against his claws. What the clan doesnt know, is for some reason, he’s been going slightly blind in one of his eyes, but he’s been training since an apprentice to fight his vision problems so he can serve his clan. Ideal Partner: the one who has been helping him train with the blindness, the one cat who knows, maybe he med cat apprentice who has been helping him Position | Clan: Deputy | Whisperclan

Cinderhollow - fluffy round faced tom with grey and white fur

Family: Longfang (mother), Meadowhall (sister) Gender / Sexuality: tom / demi  Personality: kind, loyal, fatherly, doesn’t see borders when it comes to helping another cat, didn’t used to have such a soft spot for kits  Backstory: One horrid bareleaf, a cold wind came from Frostclan’s mountains, and covered the entire forest in snow and ice unlike they’ve ever seen. When the clans began to starve, and herbs became scarce for the first time in some territories, Frostclan stepped up. They sent warriors to other clans to teach them how to hunt and forage in the snow, and the forest grew stronger. After this selfless act from Frostclan, the next generation of kits born after the Frost Wind were breeds of their own. Often coined with the phrase “blizzard kit” these cats just seem like out of a whole new book. Stronger, bigger, smarter, faster, they are prime warriors. More resilient than most, the clans believe this is due to the kits being mixed blood, the frostclan warriors spreading their dna throughout the entire forest after offering some hunting aid to the other clans.  Cinderhollow was the first of many blizzard kits. Thrushclan had been on the verge of starvation when Frostclan aided them. Living in marshes, their main supply of food and herbs seriously withered, and they didnt understand hunting in the soft fluffy slippery snow versus the muddy wet grass of their usual land. His clan flourished when greenleaf came, and the nursery was full when Cinderhollow was born to his very proud career queen mother.  Cinderhollow was born, raised, trained, and named a warrior in Thrushclan. One day he was hunting by himself when he came across the river separating his territory from Whisperclans. A queen was on the other side, calling for help. He forgot about the borders and rushed over to help. Being in a full nursery meant he had some experience seeing kittens, and he knew she was about to give birth. He did the best he could to help her, but when help finally arrived, she had already joined Starclan. Cinderhollow felt he couldnt leave the kits, now that they had no kin. So with the permission of the leaders, he went to join Whisperclan to help raise the kits.  Gingerkit, Brightkit, and Leafkit are all healthy young kits now, nearing apprenticehood. Cinderhollow is having an exceptionally difficult time adjusting to the territory and hunting in trees, but he does his best to be a good example for his kits, even if hes basically seen as an apprentice around here. Ideal Partner: someone who wants to mentor one of the kits, or the eventual mentor of one of them, or one of the warriors who do their best to include cinder, who treats him like an actual warrior  Position | Clan: Warrior | Whisperclan
