So I've decided to turn permaqueens into an actual rank? I was thinking about how important it would be to have someone knowledgeable around with the queens and kits all the time, so here it is:

Guardians: Some cats may choose to trade their warrior duties for spending all of their time in the nursery. This may seem like an easy life, but these cats have many responsibilities on their shoulders. It is their job to protect the nursery, take care of kits when their dams are away, and manage the wellbeing of all of the cats in the nursery. They are usually strong and fierce fighters, as well as compassionate and caring parental figures. Often, they will learn some basic medicine from the healer, as well as the kitting process so that they can help the queens, especially if the healer is unavailable. This position is usually taken by mollies, but is not exclusively a molly position, and more than a few toms have been known to become guardians. There are usually only one or two at any given time due to limited space in nurseries.

Current guardians are Goldenglow and Rainmist of GlenClan, Shimmertail, Nitfeather and Bouncefoot of PineClan, and Meadowmoth and (later) Dustplume of RiftClan.

Baby!

[hinterland-clans]

which cat would you think would fit - Taurus - Libra - Aries - Cancer - Leo - ( also, i love your work and you inspire me <3 )

Aww, thank you!

Ok so I don't know jack about astrology but I did some research and tried my best??

Taurus: so Taurus people are supposed to be very stable and grounded ig? So probably Goldenlight or Brackenroot!

Libra: my sun sign! Very modal and contradictory to fit who you're around, and I'd say this probably fits Aspenfleck, Swiftripple, or maybe Rosestar!

Aires: Aires are described as being stubborn, aggressive, and direct. This would probably fit Duskfur most, with Oceaneyes or Cindershock coming in close second.

Cancer: Warm, sensitive, and stable. This seems like it would fit Larkslip, Thrushsong, or Bouncefoot most!

Leo: Leos are apparently supposed to be big, brash entertainers right? This sounds about like Rainmist, Pheasantruff, or Acornfoot!

Sorry if these are inaccurate I guess? Though how you can be accurate to personality traits determined by pseudoscience I have no idea. If anyone has any inputs or differing opinions, be sure to let me know in the notes or my inbox!

(And thanks anon, I'm glad you like my work!! :D)

..if you're not tired of talking about your OCs yet, could we get something about Coppershade or Bouncefoot?

Sorry this took so long, haha 

 With Coppershade.. I don't have that much? I've been playing with a few ideas. Mainly, she's very quiet and prefers to keep to herself, which causes her Clanmates to kind of just... forget she exists. No one really knows very much about her, and she's not volunteering the information. Ryeberry considers herself to be a good friend of Coppershade, and she really tries, but it usually ends up with her talking endlessly while Coppershade sits quietly and listens without ever really responding very much. Which is fine for both of them, so I suppose it works out. I had an idea that Copper was previously in a relationship with a cat from outside of the Clans, a kittypet maybe, and the relationship ended badly so she ended up never telling anyone about it?? but idk that's going to take some thinking. 

As for Bouncefoot: He's a nursery tom! And a great guy! He's sweet and very kind, and loves kits a lot. When he and his mate Doestream were expecting kits, they had agreed to split the work of taking care of them (in PineClan, while it's not uncommon for a father to hang out with his kits and help take care of them, kits are generally cared for by the mother for the majority of the time) and he was very excited to be a dad. But when Doestream died from an infection not long after Tumblekit, Littlekit and Fleetkit were born, he stepped in to stay in the nursery and care for the three with the help of the older queens. He realized that he really liked being in the nursery and caring for kits, moreso than his normal warrior duties, and resquested that Rosestar let him stay as a permanent queen. She agreed, and now he stays in the nursery, taking care of kits when the other queens are out and being a father figure for kits who don't have one. He's a really cool guy imo

[hinterland-clans]

The queens!! All of them got a glow-up, especially Nitfeather because my g o d her old design was so bad. It looked terrible. Looks better now tho. 

Aaaanyways we have:

- Shimmertail, the oldest queen who is kinda petty and self-centered (until the whole thing with Sheen, after that she kinda wisens up and figures herself out for the sake of Galerush and Driftrunner)

- Nitfeather, a former loner and one of the forerunners of the resistance against Vinestar, she was the mate of Blackreed and is the mother of Quickwhisper and Cindershock. She despises Shimmertail for a lot of reasons, which sometimes causes a bit of drama in the nursery.

- Bouncefoot, the beloved nursery tom! He’s very soft-spoken and reserved, much like his sister Fawnstreak. His mate Mistybush got sick and died not long after their kits Fleetkit, Tumblekit, and Littlekit were born, and he took care of them until they became apprentices. He was expected to return to warrior duties, but instead stayed in the nursery as he found it much more enjoyable to take care of kits and help out the queens. He acts as a father figure for kits who don’t have one. 

- Quickwhisper, a young warrior and the youngest of the queens. Her mate is Cloverlight, and their first kit was Swiftsky. She would have returned to warrior duties after he became an apprentice, but her first kitting was hard and left her with a longer recovery period than usual. Then her niece Strikekit was born, and Tangleflower left the nursery almost immediately.. and someone had to take care of her. She tries to stay out of the drama between the two older queens, but secretly she really dislikes Shimmertail as well and tries to offer support for her mother during their more heated spats. She’s a diehard supporter of Rosestar and Hollyfrost.
