Rootclan. Moon: 0. Prologue.

[rootclan-clangen]

Rootclan's starting roster of kitties!

Start here!

[ihmislehma]

Moon 5 in RootClan:

Mistlepaw chooses to become a medicine cat apprentice, and is given catmint decoration as a congratulation gift. For some reason, the gift makes Hopstar jealous.

Mistlepaw then immediately proceeded to drive Brownpelt, her mentor, to the brink of screaming by not listening to anything Brownpelt had to say.

A kittypet brought her litter of two into the Clan, leaving them for the Clan to raise. Nezuko adopts both, naming them Drykit and Bluekit.

some more fanart- heres Moonpaw from @r00tclan

While on the topic of Warrior Cats, here's some completed projects I've worked on recently for I and @cubpaws's project, RootClan! I wonder what these could be...

[punkymaysnark]

Starting a new Expanded Mode Clan

This will be RootClan.

Since I like the idea of a quiet, cold leader who's also a peaceful mediator, Quietstar gets the job.

And here's her chosen ones:

Lupineflare, her deputy, who learns to be a mediator under Quietstar's example

Silvertail, who just seems perfect for medicine

Hollymoth, who TOTALLY won't pick fights with everyone else

Petuniaice, who just seems like diet Squirrelflight honestly

Honeyfluff, who rocks those tail markings

Logbellow, who seems to be a Leopardstar doppleganger

Tadpoledew, who seems well versed in starting wars

Gorgebush, who will be in charge of reaching the cookie jar

And Splinterkit, the obligatory waif.

And just so they'll be remembered, here are the two who didn't make the cut.

Moon 31

Duck goes hunting again, and comes across a burrow. He isn't sure if it's worth checking out, but does so anyway, he'd always had good outcomes before.

But not this time. The burrow is bare and smells of sickness, clearly whatever lived there had gotten sick and was probably dead now. Probably better for it, and Duck alike.

Moon 32

Duck woke up with a splitting headache that morning that he couldn't get rid of, he couldn't even get out of his nest, forced to curl up and hide from the sun. Brookpaw was concerned, and annoyed even when she realised she had nothing to help with it. She'd never been outside on her own, and she knew Duck would never let her even though she was old enough now, so instead of asking, she went without a word to her father.

...

She found exactly what she needed, and everything was going great. Until it wasn't, the herbs she needed were on a steep bank, and although she got up there fine, looking down, Brookpaw realised she was stuck. She couldn't just stay there though, so steeling herself, she attempted to get down. She tripped. The she-cat tumbled down the slope, landing at the bottom with a hiss of pain, her paw throbbing. She'd sprained it. Of course, she had.

It was a challenge to get home, and her father would be furious once he found out, but at least she got the herbs she needed for him.

Moon 33

Headache gone, and frustration at his daughter breaking his one rule somewhat subdued, Duck picked himself up and went on patrol. He caught the scent of a mouse nearby, knowing that it would be a good addition to a dwindling prey pile as the season grew even colder than usual. Unfortunately, he narrowly missed it, blaming the remaining ache in his head.

Moon 34

It had taken some time, but finally, finally, Brookpaw was a medicine cat. Daisyknoll came to her in her sleep to confirm it, with a gentle smile and a proud glint in her eyes.

"You're ready, Brookpaw."

"Brookwind." The she-cat corrects her.

"Brookwind." Daisyknoll repeats, "I'm proud of you.. But you must speak to your father."

Brookwind looked at her confused, and then it hit her, "You're not my mother."

"Does that make you wish you'd never become a medicine cat?"

".. No." She sighed, remembering all of the times that Duck had looked at her oddly or sadly whenever she'd mentioned Daisyknoll. Now she knew why. She couldn't blame him though, she knew that he didn't want to break her heart. Brookwind dipped her head.

"Thank you for training me Daisyknoll. Will you still come to see me?"

"You're welcome. Sometimes, if you truly need my guidance."

...

"Daisyknoll isn't my mother."

Duck looked up at the intrusion of his den, he'd moved to one further up, only accessible by boulders, due to the cold draft. A hint of grief struck his features.

"Who was she?"

"You never had a mother Brookpaw-"

"Brookwind."

He sat up, mouth opening then closing, then opening again, "Congratulations. I'm.. I'm so proud of you."

Brookwind smiled, then remembered what she was there for, and stared at him as a prompt to continue.

"Right, yes... you never had a mother. I gave birth to you."

"What-"

Chuckling at her shock and horror, Duck was quick to continue, "I was.. born a she-cat, but as I got older I realised that that didn't quite fit. It didn't feel right to be called she or present as a molly. Deep down, I knew that I was a tom, and it was only after I came here that I could fully embrace that. Your father accepted me as I was, and I prayed to StarClan every night that I was pregnant with you and your brother that he would come home, but he never did. He didn't abandon us, never, but.. He's not here anymore. He hasn't been for a long time."

Brookwind looked grief-stricken. She'd never get to meet.. her father, even if she wanted to. And hearing about what her father had to deal with as a young cat, pretending to be someone he wasn't and only able to say it out loud once the literal apocalypse had started. She wasn't even mad, just.. sad.

"I understand why you never told me, and I don't blame you for it."

Duck's eyes shone with unshed tears as his daughter laid down next to him, snuggling up to him.

"I still love you all the same, Dad.”

Moon 35

Not much is happening, but Duck acknowledges that Brookwind is doing a great job as a medicine cat, even if there isn't much for her to do right now. She does her best to keep the herbs stocked, and to always check on him, but as he gets older he can't help but worry about the lack of cats in their "clan". Many moons ago, Daisyknoll told him when he was young that he would restart RootClan, and here he was many seasons later not doing the one thing she asked. He wondered how angry StarClan was with him.

...

Duck goes out hunting, he catches a rabbit from its burrow.

Brookwind is a full fledged medicine cat now! yippee! And Duck has come out!

ROOTCLAN

RootClan lives in a small forest, camping out in a rocky gorge and eating mostly frogs and salamanders. They're skilled tunnelers, and their territory features a brook that mysteriously bubbles...

Leader; Amberstar Formerly named Amberdaisy, Amberstar is a gentle and cheerful calico tom. He's pretty big and fluffy, and well-beloved by his Clan.

Deputy; Speckledsmoke A pale calico tabby, Speckledsmoke is a skilled tracker and a very stealthy boy. He's a good deputy and takes his job seriously!

Healer; Marmotscreech Marmotscreech is a stout and friendly chocolate-point tom. He is VERY vocal about things, especially things he likes! He likes to chat, and will talk your ear off if you allow him to

.

.

BRANCHCLAN

BranchClan makes their home on a rocky beach. Their camp is a clearing surrounded by trees, with nice, soft sand beneath their paws. They mostly eat eels and minnows.

Leader; Whirlstar Formerly called Whirlpetal, this red and white tabby lady is very elegant and graceful. She's the oldest leader of the surrounding Clans, and has a very soothing presence.

Deputy; Mottledpelt There... is not much to say about Mottledpelt. He's a very average guy; he's good at hunting and fighting, but not extraordinary. He's not very bold or particularly courageous. He's just kind of.... here.

Healer; Robinpool Marmotscreech finds himself in good company with Robinpool! Those two will chatter the night away. Robinpool is wise and level-headed, and a very gentle healer. She's a particularly good singer, as well!

LEAFCLAN

LeafClan lives in a marsh, and eats mostly fish and bugs. They have a bit of an issue with rats at the moment, and there's this strange violet-coloured pond within their territory...

Leader; Cometstar Formerly Cometstream, she's a brown and orange tabby who is quite loud. She's not afraid to make her opinion known to everyone. She's pretty bold and brave, traits that are admired within LeafClan.

Deputy; Foxtail Foxtail is HUGE. She is giant and fluffy and SUPER intimidating, even to cats within her own clan. She's pretty clever, too, but it's more her stature that makes her scary.

Healer; Molestalker Molestalker is a very quiet cat, and she knows EVERYTHING. There is not a single thing you can hide from her. She used to be a warrior, but became interested in medicine after her son got very sick. He recovered, thankfully, but she never wanted to feel that helpless again.

SPIKECLAN

SpikeClan lives on a moor, their camp covered with heather and gorse as a shield from predators. They eat mostly hares and small birds, and has recently been struck by a deadly illness, wiping out most of the Clan.

Leader; Jasminestar Jasminestar is the youngest leader of the surrounding Clans, barely even a warrior. She's already lost two of her lives to the illness, and is really struggling with the idea of leadership. I mean, she's never even had an apprentice before!!

Deputy; Amberice Jasminestar's former mentor and father figure, Jasminestar picked him as deputy for his experience and calm, easy-going nature.

Healer; Speckledwhistle Speckledwhistle is stressed tf out, man!!!! His mentor, Firestripe, was one of the first victims of the illness, and Speckledwhistle barely had half his training! He does his best to be cheerful, but it's so so hard right now. He's so tired. Let him rest please.
