Moon 4 Gathering

< previous | next > | all >>

“Ish dish enough frefkill?” Nightflower muffled through two mice crammed into her mouth.

Darkstar chuckled. “Hey, you shouldn’t have your mouth full when speaking, Nightflower.”

She spits the mice out onto the ground. “Heh, sorry Dad.”

Still, he nodded affirmatively. “With Shimmersky’s fish and Gingerclaw’s bluejay, we should have enough food for the gathering.”

“Darkstar! Darkstar!” a large bundle of orange fur barreled towards the two cats, crashing into Nightflower.

She laughed. “What’s wrong, Tigerkit?”

The ball of fluff straightened himself out until he resembled a normal cat. “Applepaw’s being mean again. She snapped at Pebblekit!”

Darkstar sighed. “Acting out isn’t going to make me change my mind. I’ll have a talk with Blossomtail.”

“About what?” Nightflower asked.

“I decided to have Applepaw stay behind this Gathering. She’s been too irresponsible as of late.”

“I suppose that makes sense.” she probably also would have been sulking if she was left behind.

“You know, since I’m so helpful…” Tigerkit started.

“No Gatherings until you’re an apprentice.” Darkstar sighed.

—

The Gathering itself was just as bustling. The fresh kill was deposited atop the grates of the flaming barrel for the after-gathering feast. Nightflower still didn’t do well with fire, so she handed off her freshkill to Dawnpaw. She decided to meet up with Lynxpaw and Firepaw while Dawnpaw took care of the food.

Firepaw wasn’t hard to find. Her bright red fur was like a beacon, even among a sea of other ginger cats. She was sat with Lynxpaw, who looked very happy.

“What’s the occasion?” Nightflower asked as she padded over.

“My warrior ceremony!” Lynxpaw declared, the enthusiasm palpable in her voice. “I’m Lynxclaw now.”

Firepaw looked glum. “I wish. My mentor’s been ignoring my training… I’ll never be a warrior at this rate.”

Lynxclaw paused. “I’m sorry Firepaw. That sucks.”

“Ah… whatever. I think Smallcloud is just getting sick or something. I don’t know why he’s been ignoring me.”

“Oh… I can’t imagine how you must be feeling.” Nightflower said. Even Leopardcloud, stuck in the nursery, still made sure she kept up her training when she wasn’t able to be there.

A large silence fell over the Gathering. It was time to start; the first leader stepped to the front. This moon, it was Redstar.

“To start, Swampclan has been well. Our kits are well-fed, and will grow strong. Our apprentices, even more so.” Redstar stated simply, before stepping back.

“I heard that those kits born last moon were his.” Lynxclaw whispered to Nightflower. “Jaggedkit and Sharpkit, I think they’re named. Poor kits. Now they have to turn out evil with those names.”

Nightflower wasn’t so sure, but she wasn’t willing to be scolded for talking during the Gathering.

Next, Finchstar took the front.

“My son and his mate have had a litter of three healthy kits! We thank Starclan for them.” He showed an uncharacteristic amount of emotion, before frowning again. His tone was grave. “Unfortunately, one of our border patrols was ambushed by a coyote. One of our apprentices, Splinterpaw, did not make it. We ask other clans to increase their patrols and stay wary until the coyote has left our lands.”

Whispers carried over the crowd— uncertain, and somewhat panicked, before the Wanderers representative spoke up.

“It will not take long for the coyote to leave. The Twolegs will chase it out once they notice it. Remain alert, but calm, while on patrol.” the representative stepped back, allowing Badgerstar to step forward.

“We have two new warriors, as well as one new cleric apprentice.” he drawled, seemingly not caring. “Lynxclaw, Locustclaw, and Mitepaw.” He paused to allow the clans to cheer.

Nightflower made sure to cheer extra hard for her good friend, who seemed extremely flattered by all the attention. Firepaw, on the other hand, looked like her flames had been doused by a heavy rainfall.

After the noise had died down, he spoke again. “We grieve the loss of our beloved Seedwhisker, who succumbed to illness. May my son carry on his path of benevolence in Starclan, just as he did in life.” he bowed his head, ushering in a moment of silence.

Nightflower looked over at Starleaf. Her mother was close with Seedwhisker, right? He was one of the members of her prophecy journey. Her mother was huddled up with her Grangeclan friends, Dovelight and Pearlheart.

The silence was broken with a single exclamation.

“Seedwhisker!”

Now, every clan was looking at the three mollies. Pearlheart was staring at the faded outline of a tom, though Nightflower couldn’t pick out any of the details. He was glowing a bright blue, which certainly wasn’t a real pelt color. Was that… a Starclan cat?

“What’s she looking at?” Lynxclaw asked, confusion lacing her voice.

“You don’t see the glowing cat in front of her?” Nightflower said.

Firepaw shook her head. “She’s just staring at nothing.”

“Well, there’s a Starclan cat right in front of her!”

Nightflower quickly looked around. Badgerstar had his head in his paws, and Bonestripe looked shocked. Finchstar merely looked confused, and Redstar was simply annoyed.

Clouds began to crowd around the full moon, blotting out all but a small circle in the middle.

Darkstar took the front, interrupting the moment. “Starclan has spoken. The Gathering has ended for now.” he jumped down, gathering the clanmates.

Nightflower barely had a moment to say goodbye to her friends when she was pulled away with the rest of Crystalclan.

He padded over to Nightflower as they left the Gathering. “Your mother is staying behind.”

“What was that?” Nightflower asked her father.

“You could see it, couldn’t you? How well?” he dodged her question.

“But— well, yes. I could see the glowing blue cat. I couldn’t tell who it was though. Was he from Starclan?”

He nodded to her. “So not well. I see… yes, that glowing cat was a Starclan cat.”

“But why did that ghost appear?”

“To say goodbye.” Darkstar replied. “or maybe to give a warning. We won’t know until we ask your mother.”

“I guess that food will go to waste now…” she said absentmindedly.

“It won’t. Don’t worry about it.” he licked her forehead. “Come on. Let’s go home.”

As he walked away, Nightflower could only wonder what Starclan was thinking. Perhaps she’d ask her mother. Hopefully her mother was willing to share what she’d learned.

—

“Beware the jagged thorns of the lake, for they will sink into you like a lifeline.” Pearlheart repeated back to the other two.

“What could that mean?” Starleaf asked, worry in her eyes.

“I don’t know Leafy.” Pearlheart had a worried look on her face. “But he said the message was for you.”

Dovelight turned to Starleaf. “If you need extra warriors, Grangeclan will send them.”

Starleaf shook her head. “No. I will not put your clanmates in danger. We will handle this ourselves.”

Pearlheart pressed against Starleaf’s side, letting out a sad huff. “Be safe Leafy. Please.”

“I will, Pearlheart. I promise.” Starleaf spared one last look towards the spot where Seedwhisker supposedly stood, thoughts swirling with confusion and fear.

She turned and walked away.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but what did Seedstar do during her reign?

Excerpt from my notes document:

"Seedstar was a deluded, slithering manipulator with a powerful righteousness complex and wormed her way into power by spreading lies and seeding doubt throughout SnowClan of the deputy at the time, Spidershadow. Seedwhisker began to slowly increase the pressure on Spidershadow by constantly undermining him, secretly causing trouble, luring foxes and dogs into the territory, and generally causing mayhem behind the scenes. 

Over time, SnowClan began to worry more and more about Spidershadow’s stress and paranoia, until Seedwhisker finally attacked him in a thunderstorm where he couldn't recognize her. Convinced he would die if he stayed there and not feeling like he could trust anyone, Spidershadow fled towards RainClan territory. There, the elderly Antstar and his deputy Newtfoot took him in, but he was a wreck for a long time. Seedwhisker, then being a young and strong cat but still having lots of experience, became the next obvious deputy. 

But Seedwhisker wasn’t satisfied, of course. She knew she had divine right from StarClan to be a leader, that she had been born for the role. All these pretenders were only getting in her way and keeping SnowClan from being its best. So with little effort, she led Pikestar out to a nearby mud quarry, and one little push was all it took. SnowClan found his body four days later at the bottom of a ravine, and all assumed he had slipped and fallen in the slick, rainy weather. And finally, Seedstar ascended to leadership. Quickly, though, it was made obvious that Seedstar had never been cut out for a leader. She focused on no one but herself - when the Clan was going hungry, Seedstar’s belly was always full. If another leader insulted her at a Gathering or on a patrol, she would send immediate attacks that resulted in bloody losses for SnowClan. Her deputy was a spineless she-cat named Graystorm that did anything and everything Seedstar ever asked without any pushback, desperate to hold onto the position. Slowly and steadily all the Clans around the lake began to suffer, with Seedstar happy and powerful. This all went on for moons and moons, ending up to be a brutal regime.

Until finally, Newtfoot of RainClan had enough. She had spoken with Spidershadow before, in one of his rare calmer states, and started connecting the dots. Putting two and two together, Newtfoot told Antstar everything she knew. Outraged, Antstar and Newtfoot finally confronted Seedstar while she was out in the woods. She had many of her warriors with her, but as she snapped at them to attack, none of them moved. Even Graystorm just squirmed and backed away. Seedstar was silent for a second, then threw back her head and roared with laughter. Through it, she hissed that StarClan would come and protect her divine right as leader. Digging her claws into the ground, she waited. And waited. And as Antstar and Newtfoot fell upon Seedstar, nothing had ever come. Seedstar’s reign ended in SnowClan, and Graystorm and several other of Seedstar’s supporters were exiled from the Clans. A precocious and brave cat named Owlcreek was made into Owlstar, naming a young warrior called Dawnmist as deputy. Newtfoot, seeing Seedstar’s violent and aggressive reign up close and personal, vowed to lead RainClan into a more peaceful future than Seedstar would have ever brought. 

Know this; Seedstar was not manipulated by the Dark Forest, or evil cats in her life. Nor was she swayed by some wicked StarClan cat. Seedwhisker, and then Seedstar, was simply an egocentric, entitled cat that felt she deserved power and deluded herself into seeing StarClan’s signs in natural life where there were none, and basing her actions upon that."

Better Bones ThunderClan Family Tree: Draft 1.1

[ID: A massive image of the ThunderClan family tree for Better Bones, with every starting ancestor marked with yellow, every joining kittypet marked in pink, and all of the Firekin cats marked in orange.]

You may also want to see:

The RiverClan Family Tree

The SkyClan Family Tree

The Three Strict Rules

The ThunderClan Family Tree Diagnosis, to compare

Several days of research, drafting, and meticulous nitpicking has brought us here. As much of a family tree fix as I can manage alone, including over 200 cats!

There are NO OCs in this graph. Everyone you see here is from Su Susann's Missing Kits, mentioned in a field guide, or directly from forgotten allegiances. A few characters have been renamed, shuffled, or intentionally removed.

1.1 update: Imgur link was replaced with smaller image that Tumblr is able to handle.

Just like RiverClan's, below the cut is Renamings, Removals, and the Changelog.

RENAMINGS: Format: Old Name (Origin) -> New Name (Reason)

Fallowpaw (BOTC) -> Fallowhawk (Repurposed)

Oatwhisker (COTC) -> Oatbell (Conflict)

Beechfur (BOTC) -> Beechfeather (Conflict)

Seedpelt (MV) -> Seedwhisker (Conflict)

Seedpelt (PC) -> Seedfall (Conflict)

Rabbitleap (TC) -> Rabbitbone (Conflict, Honor title)

Rockfall -> White-eye (Honor title)

Pheasantfeather -> One-eye (Honor title)

Mistlekit -> Mistleclaw (Save)

Cricketkit -> Cricketclaw (Save)

Tulipkit -> Tulipflight (Save)

Chestnutkit -> Chestnutface (Save)

Elderkit -> Elderberry (Save)

Sorrelstripe -> Duststripe (Sorreltail does not die in the Great Battle)

Graykit -> Fernkit (Ferncloud confronts Ashfur in the Dark Forest)

Hollyleaf -> Fallenleaf (I don't even know how to summarize this, Go Read This)

REMOVALS: These may be shuffled to another litter at a later time, but for now, are effectively cut or combined with another character.

Lilyheart needs no children and the clan had more than enough cats already. Honeyfur, Leafshade, and Larksong are cut.

Larksong's roles have been absorbed by the composite cat, Hollylark.

On that note, Hollytuft is the other half of the composite.

Brightheart is a frequent surrogate for cats in other Clans; Snowbush, Ambermoon, and Dewnose may show up elsewhere, but NOT in ThunderClan.

Eaglewing is cut.

CHANGELOG: When a group is referred to as "Characterkin," it refers to the common ancestor with that suffix. For example, Firekin refers to cats with Firestar as a common ancestor.

Daisytoe and Flashnose COULD still be siblings without issue but I decided to leave it off for better visibility

Squirrelwhisker and Beetail are probably siblings but Re: better visibility

Icecloud is now born AFTER the Great Battle; they are named after Iceheart, the cat who was Scourge.

Foxleap is now a CloudxBright child

Rockfall becomes the mate of One-eye, and attains an Honor Title; White-eye, for losing an eye to infection.

One-eye's pre-Honor Title name was Pheasantfeather, she also lost an eye to infection.

They both found this VERY amusing.

Halftail is now a child, not One-eye's mate, fixing a very frustrating retcon where One-eye was not the oldest cat in ThunderClan.

Mistlekit becomes a warrior named Mistleclaw, who died in a very serious sickness during Spottedleaf's Plague

Graystripe is now Dappletail's son, and his littermate Featherkit died in Spottedleaf's Plague

Cricketkit becomes a warrior named Cricketclaw, and was the littermate of Darkstripe.

Tulipkit and Chestnutkit were taken from other litters and given to Robinfuzzy, to create an in-between generation for Dustpelt and Raven, as Robinfuzzy would be too old.

Tulipflight and Chestnutface died in, you guessed it, Spottedleaf's Plague.

Though he was ultimately renamed for conflict reasons, Rabbitbone is sporting an Honor Title. He was made the head chef after Mumblefoot became deputy.

Speckletail is the niece of Doestar now, and strongly desired to carry on her legacy.

Oatbell's name refers to the bell-shape of some flowers, such as bluebells, gorse, and oat berries.

Hazeltail does not die of greencough, she is saved by Jayfeather. Mousewhisker is going to leave for RiverClan in ASC (minnowmouse shippers stay winnin'), and Hazel will be taking any noteworthy actions he does in ThunderClan

Fernsong is now an ex-kittypet who joins along with Stormcloud and Jessy. His old name was Fiddles.

Blossomfall's kits were conceived during a stay with The Kin, the father(s) are not known.

Redtail and Spottedleaf are now the children of Rosetail

Redtail and Runningwind are the parents of Sandstorm and Longtail.

Patchpelt is now the father of Willowpelt, adding a generation between Willow and AdderSwift.

The Three Seedpelts

There were THREE Seedpelts to begin with. I decided to split them into 3 characters.

The oldest Seedpelt keeps her name; she was deputy of ThunderClan when SkyClan was exiled, and stepped down in protest. She joined Ripplestar's Rebellion, and was condemned to the Dark Forest when she died.

She has a striking resemblance to her descendants, Ferncloud, Elderberry, and Ashfur.

The next was Seedwhisker. He was the brother of Mapleshade.

He lived the rest of his life in regret at his cowardice, having not spoken up for his sister or nespring, and became a supporter of the Queen's Rights in spite of Oakstar's opposition to them.

His new name comes from an accidental misprint, he was called Seedwhisker once in canon.

The last was Seedfall, who could have plausibly been Seedwhisker in the timeline, but I decided that Adderfang could use a sibling.

Firekin is now HARD defined

It means that you are directly descended from Firestar and Sandstorm. (Who were btw in a QPR)

Cloudtail is not counted in this category because Fireheart botched the claiming of the Queen's Rights when bringing him to ThunderClan, admitting he was his nephew and voiding his right.

Firekin only tracks through direct descendants as a result.

Squirrelflight is infertile and will always be. All Firekin can trace their way through The Three, and ergo Leafpool.

Ivypool and Dovewing are technically the bio-offspring of Poppyfrost and Jayfeather, but this is not widely known, and they are raised by Cinderheart and Lionblaze.

Sparkpelt and Alderheart are no longer Firekin. Nightheart and Finchlight are Firekin through their other parent, Hollylark.

Hollylark was conceived through supernatural methods (and by accident).

Flywhisker and Snaptooth were foundlings adopted by Toadstep and Lionblaze; but they are leaving the Clans in a similar way to Canon.

The Tigerkin Family

Goldenflower's only mate was Tigerclaw, unlike canon where she was with Patchpelt to have Swiftpaw and Lynxkit.

Brambleclaw becomes Bramblestar just after BB!Po3, and Squirrelflight doesn't get back with him after the secret is revealed

His kits are from Jessy, who was temporarily named Sweetbright.

She cat-divorced him shortly after their kits were born, taking Alder with her. The human named him Louie; Bramblestar changed it back when he returned

Both of them have a very complicated relationship to their father.

The Dustfern Fixes, Fernkin Broadly

Elderberry was saved to fix an age gap; Ferncloud is closer in age to Dustpelt, and Ashfur is from a litter born just before Brindleface's murder. Elder was the sibling who was part of the Dog Relay Race.

Dustpelt was also not a mentor yet, as he was too young. Instead, he was undergoing a secondary apprenticeship under One-eye for construction work.

Cloudtail was Elder's and Fern's best friend growing up, but NOT an adopted brother. This is to avoid Whitewing x Birchfall being adoptive first cousins.

Because Brackenfur dies in BB!Po3 and wasn't alive to sire them, Seedpaw and Lilyheart have been swapped over to Dustfern.

Dustpelt died saving them in the Great Battle, reinforcing a den wall against invaders.

Spiderleg and his children are not dying unceremoniously as Greencough Fodder and a TBC kill. All three are alive to the current arc.

Lilypaw watching her sister die to save her was formative. She has no interest in romance, but is much more caring and nurturing than her grumpy face suggests.

Because Whitewing and Birchfall no longer have Dovewing and Ivypool, they get Spotfur and Duststripe instead!

Because Sorreltail didn't die in the battle, Duststripe is named after her grandfather instead.

For a similar reason, Spotfur's child Graykit is now named after their great-grandmother instead. Graystripe lives out the rest of his days in the mountains; Ferncloud must confront her brother.

[warrior-cats-rewritten]

Let's talk about Conflict Names.

If you've scrolled the Warriors Wiki, you've probably seen this message at least once.

And in a universe FULL of name combinations and new prefixes and suffixes being added all the time, it's... Odd. How do names like Robinwing and Seedpelt get used so many times? Why are there 2 Nightstar's now? WHY ARE THERE 3 BIRCHSTARS AND 3 DARKSTARS?

Well, I think it would be nice to change that. In-Universe, all apprentices still go to the Moonstone/Moonpool to foster a connection with Starclan. Starclan will show the leader who goes with them all the name "slots" of the cats who have come before.

Sometimes, in an extremely rare circumstance, there have been multiple cats with the same name (this is more... easter egg for wcr/comedic effect; but lore-wise, Starclan will often not provide the names of Dark Forest cats in an attempt to "erase" them), but it can never be a leader. There cannot be 2 Firestar's, ever. A Star cannot lead if it is being outshone by another.

Where the fun lies, is that sometimes, a leader will give up their leader name in Starclan, freeing up that slot. Heatherstar gave up hers to go back to being Heatherstep, as she did not enjoy being leader. Heatherstar would now be a valid name again. Also, the ancient 2 word names (Sky Petal, Cloud Spots, Blue Whisker, Briar Bloom) do not take up slots. Post-mortem names, such as Swiftpaw being named Swiftclaw, or Mapleshade's kits, also do not take up slots.

During Tigerheart's Light, Starclan ran into a bit of a pickle. Tigerheart was going to become Leader, but there has been a Tigerstar in history who did not give up his name when he went to the Dark Forest. But... His spirit had faded away! But... The memory of him hasn't...

When they asked Tigerheart "Do you wish to be Tigerstar?" What Tigerheart WANTED to say was:

"Sure. It sounds like a good name. Though I have some bad memories with it too, and my relationship with my mother is really strained now because of it, I'm also not sure of the Clans will like having another Tigerstar around. Maybe it's not such a good idea."

All he managed to get out was "Sure. It sounds like a good name-" before Starclan slapped the title onto him without a second thought.

With that MAJOR issue out of the way, let's get to the renaming of cats! Note: Renames are not done on basis of who came first, but which one I like better for the cat. I think Frecklewish fits the Thunderclan cat more than the Skyclan one.

Note: This post is not complete and was only posted due to the Tumblr app being trash. I will repeatedly reblog this with more names added. Thank you.

Thunderclan

Rabbitleap (TC) is now named Rabbitsong

Beechfur (TC) is now named Beechtuft.

Seedpelt (Mapleshade's Vengeance) has now been somewhat fused with Seedpelt (Pinestar's Choice). Now a molly whose fur is streaked gray with age, and her name is Seedwhisker.

Seedpelt (Pinestar's Choice) has been partially fused, as seen above, but the leftover cat (ew) has been named Dragonflypelt.

Seedpelt (FQ) is THE Seedpelt. Seedpaw is almost named Seedpelt as well (that's that little joke I mentioned, but also a sign that Bramblestar's got NO idea what he's doing)

Owlstar (SoTC) and Owlstar (CoTC) have been fused, the way they should have been.

Shadowclan

Cloudberry (TC) is now Splashberry.

Larksong (BP) is now named Larkmoon, Larksong (Avos) remains unchanged.

Applefur (TF) is now named Applefang.

Ashfur (ShC) is now given the very simple Honor Title Ashclaw by Nightstar, and comes out of retirement.

Marshscar now becomes Marshstar to avoid a future Conflict Name with Marshkit, who will become Marshscar.

Mudclaw (ShC) is now named Mudstep.

Buster, who used to be Rippletail, is now named... Well he still becomes Buster, but BEFORE that he's named Droptail. Pun.

Hollystar has been renamed Birdstar, Jagged Peak and Rainswept Flower's daughter.

Riverclan

Shadepelt (AVoS) is now named Shadenose, and is the sister of Foxnose and an OC, Bumblenose.

Mintfur (RC) is now Mintwhisker, named after Mintclaw (Silverpaw TPB) a Rebel who was killed fighting against Tigerclan alongside his mothers Waterfern and Tangleburr.

Silverpaw (BOTC) is now in Windclan, as they need more padding, and OOTS Riverclan has enough apprentices. Their name is now Streampaw, and they become Streamsong. They are the offspring of Rustlewish, who adopted them from Riverclan, hence the name.

Applefrost and Appleshine actually had their names swapped. Appleshine is now the daughter of Appledusk and Reedshine. Applefrost is now Breezpelt and Heathertail's daughter.

Nightstar (RC) now never becomes leader, as Riverstar outlives her during Riverstar's Life towards the end. She and Nightheart (Ro) are now the same cat. She was inspired by a strange cat named Nightheart and made her name Night Heart.

Milkfur (YS) is now named Milkpatch, both after her mother and the slowly growing white patches in her fur. Her brother is named Troutfin (the name she was mistakenly given in the preview for Yellowfang's Secret) and he gave Hailstar a life!

Windclan

Thrushpelt (WC) is now not only a girl, but this lady WAS named Thrushpelt and earned the title Thrushleaf for her handling of the epidemic caused by sick rabbits.

Gorsetail (TNP) is now named Eveningtail.

Wrenflight (WC) does start out as Wrenflight, but after her actions supporting The Rebels against Tigerstar, helping Tangleburr and Waterfern free prisoners at risk of her own life, Tallstar renamed her Wrensky, freeing up the Wrenflight slot for the Skyclan one.

Birchstar (WC) is now Warblerstar, she is an ancestor to Onestar through his grandfather, Woollytail.

Skyclan

Frecklewish (SkC) is now named Freckleshine.

Birchstar (SkC) is still Birchstar, but stepped down at his death, going back to being just Birch, the same one in DOTC. The second leader of Skyclan. Birchstar (RC) is now the definitive Birchstar.

Rainfur (SkC) is now Rainyfur, his old name having been Rainy, because "oh it's just a coincidence his name was exactly the same as a Clan name" is a pathetic cop-out.

Robinwing (SkC) is now Robintail, after her short, fluffy tail.

Unknown Clan

Emberdawn (TBC) is still Emberdawn... Because no one remembers her, and Starclan doesn't care much about names that aren't attached to it, meaning that TECHNICALLY, there could be another Houndleap, Emberdawn is not in the Dark Forest, but she is also not in Starclan. Her horror story will be revealed eventually, still working on the finer details.

[theanoninyourinbox]

So Niaf!Bloomseed (in canon, mv bloomheart and seedpelt) hypokits mayhaps

After becoming apprenticed to Shade Oakphoenix, bloompaw distanced themself from everyone else due to his teachings he started internalizing, something he unfortunately would bring to his apprentice, the roots spreading.

When freckle and birch were born, he was like an uncle figure to them, in retrospect caring more for them than their father ever did, having helped kill one of them and almost letting the second one die.

Something in him clicked when he killed his own apprentice to protect Frecklewish as she is nowadays called, and seeing her own father say it was better she would die than be blind, not even knowing the person next to him whom he trained for 6 moons was born blind themself, realizing Oakphoenix was the root of this infection.

After giving Frecklewish over to her soon to be mate to be treated in the shard union and killing the would be tyrant Oakphoenix, he started seeing the counsel and slowly began connecting with others again as more than acquaintances, including Seedwhisker.

After Freckle came back, he became her adopted father officially, and even if birch couldnt be there, he still sees him as his father, being together with his daughter and husband

3 babies for the cool au

[duckwhistle]

Crumb 3

Leaders get their prefix changed as well! This is because I like the idea of them losing their first life and changing entirely.

They have deeper meanings, they're supposed to either be well-wishes to the new leader, or to tell them how to deal with leadership, etc. Hailfur -> Bluestar - "to gaze with your deep water eyes around you, to know of your friends and enemies by sight." Vipertail -> Tallstar - "to stand tall in your pride and glory of your clan, to lead a legacy spanning generations."

things like this... I have a few more for my AU but I do not have a set-in-stone, well worded reason for the name changes, so just, have them. Rustheart -> Firestar Leopardfur -> Sunstar Crookedjaw -> Stormstar Sunfall -> Brightstar Mapletail (Redtail) -> Redstar Brambleclaw -> Thornstar Deadfoot -> Burrowstar Seedwhisker -> Lonestar (Onestar) Mistyfoot -> Flowstar Leafdapple -> Fallingstar Sandstorm -> Risingstar Darkstep -> Blackstar Hollypelt -> Nightstar

small note: I think that names that reference the clan itself (Night for Shadowclan, or Flow for Riverclan) give their clan a lot of pride, like "yes that is our iconic leader!!!" so maybe they're special??? ALSO rejecting the name that you get from the stars is never a good idea, because the only reason leaders have nine lives is because Starclan gave them. so I do believe that it would be cool if Tigerstar specifically refused his name because of his pride :D

[needleinafox]

Freckle's deadname help

Ok, so, Frecklewish is one of the only characters i will ever make a deadname for because it's thematically important.

It always felt odd that both pinestar and birchface are named after trees, but frecklewish wasn't. Here this is solved by having her actually be named after one. (Even if i wouldn't have to cus pine doesn't exist but yeah)

She doesn't just shed her name to show her transitioning, but as a sign she's disowning Oakphoenix, she is not apart of his family anymore, she is frecklewish, daughter of Bloomheart and Seedwhisker. The entomology of this name in her character post.

So, her prefix was Fir. Oak, birch and fir trees are common in austria. However i am still unsure about the suffix, after googling pines suffix, heart, I came to the realization that both birch and pine's suffixes are body parts, a face and a heart and so I wanna keep with the "physical part of a body". I'm unsure which one to use however. Do i just nab Pine's as he doesn't exist? Or another part?? I'm going to throw some suffixes in the air

Heart - highly emotional, sympathetic to many but reactionary to her emotions. Also nod to pine as well as Bloomheart, whom while not a mentor of either twin, was always in their lives.

Whisker - good senses and spatial awareness, irony as grief lessened her awareness and this led her to become blind and lose that sense as she didn't notice the snake biting her then spewing venom in her eyes. Would use whiskers more as ground keeper. Something against it is that I've only ever drawn appledusk with pronounced whiskers.

Tail - balance of skills, whom lands on their feet. Deeply tinted in irony because of how she couldn't bounce back after her mom and bro died. Obviously lost depth perception due to blindness.

Open to other suffixes too please

So, since there are three other clans, I figured I’d post their allegiances for moon 1! However, these clans are really big, so only a few cats from each clan will be available for asks. Those are the cats drawn above!

From Treeclan:

Badgerstar, Bonestripe, Lynxpaw, Yarrowpaw, Houndheart, and Fernclaw

From Grangeclan:

Finchstar, Dovelight, Pearlheart, Irisrain, Ashrise, and Firepaw

From Swampclan:

Ploverbelly, Junco-eyes, and Hawthornpaw

If there are any other cats that interest you, just send an ask about them! I can answer any questions

Also, Moon One’s gathering is coming soon! Look forward to that!

Full Allegiances under the cut!

(If a kit is said to be fostered, then the queen is not the one who adopted them. If a kit is adopted, then that queen is the one who adopted them)

(For some reason, Badgerstar and Bonestripe keep being messed with)

ThunderClan WIP

[ID: A family tree chart]

That's enough for now; I had to redraw it from my last WIP to make some real big changes!

Fun choices I made tonight;

There WERE three Seedpelts; two of them got conflict renamings! The first was deputy when SkyClan was exiled, stepped down in protest, and became a rebel for Ripplestar. She is probably in the Dark Forest. The second is the brother of Mapleshade, his name is Seedwhisker. The third is a sister for Adderfang, her name is Seedfall. I may make her a parent in a later draft.

Tons of COTC and BOTC characters have been repurposed; however, Greeneyes, Bloomheart, and Pearnose (becomes Pearstar in BB!) are unlisted for now.

Songbird, Morningstar, and Pearstar are too ancient to be part of this tree; the tree only fully tracks all cats from the Crusade Era onwards.

Because it's ThunderClan and there's a bunch of names, plus a clear picture of succession, some cats go as far back as the Ripple Era!

Oatwhisker (TC) is now Oatbell.

Beechfur (TC) is now Beechfeather.

One-eye and White-eye have been split into two cats. White-eye was One-eye's mate and died many years ago.

One-eye is sporting an Honor Title, her old name was Pheasantfeather.

Halftail is now One-eye's son instead of mate; fixing an inconsistency where they retconned her into not being the oldest cat in ThunderClan.

White-eye is prone to change.

Cricketclaw, Mistleclaw, Elderberry, Chestnutface, and Tulipflight are all Kit Saves.

Chestnut and Tulip were shuffled from other litters in order to make an in-between generation between Robinfuzzy and the Dust + Raven litter. The two are now the children of Chestnutface.

Shinecloud is now Oakstar's sister, not mate. Frecklewish and Birchface were his nespring, losing them was losing the last piece he had of his sister.

Beetail was their father, as well as the father of Flowerpaw and Nettlebreeze for some extra drama. Flowerpaw died trying to save her older half-brother.

I ran out of space but Beetail and Squirrelwhisker are siblings... will try to get it in another draft.

In the last draft I accidentally made Thrushpelt and Bluefur first cousins, OOPS. That's fixed now. They aren't related anymore.

I'll continue down the line later, for now I think that's a not-too-shabby outline for pre-Lake ThunderClan.

Also ignore that Firestar isn't on it yet, he will come, be patient, he had to get out of the way for that atrocious, 3-mile-long Dustfern line

[canon-notcanon-warriorcats]

any good suffixes for Seed-? I'm trying to figure out renames for all three of the Seedpelts but i'm kinda stumped and you're really good at this stuff

what's wild is that seed- is the prefix i've always had the hardest time with even when i was a kid, like i had an oc named seedpelt, ironically enough (before other seedpelts were in the books) because i just like... couldn't think of a better name lol and now i'm trying to figure out a warrior name for seedpaw and my first thought always goes to seedpelt

so i am here to enlighten this weird seed suffix purgatory
