How many names has Laurelstorm gone through? I remember Wolf- and Coyote- but I assume there's others.

Oh geez, yeah Laurel’s been through a ton…

At one point in OFND, Whitestorm and Tigerclaw were separate characters near the Very beginning of OFND’s creation; Whitestorm went through a few names (namely Softsnow and Whitethorn), and Tigerclaw did as well (namely Strikeclaw and Talonclaw).

Once Laurelstorm came into existence, her original name was Tigerstorm! Then it was Tigerlilyclaw, then Talonstorm, then Wolfclaw, Wolfstorm, Coyotestorm, Maplespark, Maplestorm, and then, finally Laurelstorm!

Old Faces, New Dawn

A fresh beginning from a darkened past

I am so happy with how this came out. This is for @spottyistired and their rewrite i am just so intrigued by, featuring Rust (Firepaw), Ravenpaw, Bearpaw, Sandpaw, Gracklepaw, Spottedleaf, Dreamtongue, Shiningstrike, Scourge and lastly Wolfstorm. The designs and lighting was super fun to do and I hope you like it Spotty!

(ID- the whole poster has a dawn lighting and background with the main five lit in a yellow, pink, and orange light. The antagonists are lit in a mix of purples, blues, golden, and pink. Bushes are behind the protagonists with a oak tree on the left and pine trees on the right.

Firepaw/Rust is standing in the center with a split pelt, the left a dark brown and the right a orange tabby. His right ear is torn, and he has one amber and one green eye. His front paw is forwards with his tail puffing up behind him, a unsure expression on his face. To his left is Ravenpaw who is a lanky black and white cat with a pretty purple eye and fang similarly to a snakes, his ears are tall like a bats. They are looking at Rust with a curious, and knowing expression as if they can see something the chimera cat cannot. To the right is Bearpaw who is crouched down and looking at Rust, his fluffy tail sweeping over Rust’s left leg and a smile on his face. He is a brownish gray color with a darker heart marking on his cheek and sweet golden eyes. Sandpaw is on the other side of Ravenpaw and is crouched down as if she’s about to pounce. She has a mischievous look in her green eye and her tail, which is grey at the end, is swooped to the left. On the other side of Bearpaw is Gracklepaw who is rather standoffish with a spiteful/angry expression looked towards Ravenpaw, he is brown and white with a underbite.

Above Rust is Wolfstorm who is looking straight forward with blank orange eyes and a unknown expression on is face, his mane fluffed out. He is a gray and white with a moon in his chest and markings across his face. To his left is Shiningstrike who is looking upwards with blank golden eyes, she is orange, brown, and cream with a tear like marking down to her chin. On the right id Scourge who is looking downwards. A blank blue eye and black tufty hair almost covers his face and his muzzle and chest is bare of fur. Two necklaces hang over his chest, the top with three claws and the bottom with a talon and a bird skull. Above Grackle is Dreamtongue who is facing the left with a downturned face and a green X as his pupil. He is a red tabby with white fur falling down from hid ears, and a tusk decorating his face. A green breathe comes from his mouth and is reaching out, as if to grab onto those he wishes to persuade. Across from him is Spottedleaf who is looking up with a golden star pupil and golden mist wrapping around her face. She is a brown, red, and white cat with purple and pink petals decorating her fur, a entranced expression on her blank face. Written across the poster is “OLD FACES NEW DAWN” with a lighter corresponding color behind the black bold text. End ID)

explanations for wolf and fox as prefixes in your story?

I’ll do “Wolf-” first, with “Fox-” as a follow up ^^

•─────⋅ᓚᘏ���⋅─────•

Basic Meanings:

The prefix “Wolf-” represents a thick-furred, gray or brown colored cat. It could also represent a large, sturdy, or physically strong cat.

Reasoning:

For the wolf prefix to be “valid”, the story’s setting would need to be located somewhere that wolves are commonplace. For OFND specifically, as it’s located along the border of Canada and America, the wolves most commonly found within the story are gray wolves - though of course there are others!

Wolves are loyal and communicative, physically large, sturdy and stocky. By their nature, they are fiercely faithful to those they deem befitting of it.

Notes:

Laurelstorm’s original draft name was Wolfstorm! Wolfstorm would still technically fit her, but I preferred “Laurel” in the end.

Predators are a universal prefix within the fealty! Wolf- specifically is most often found within the Riverward, though it is found across the fealty.
