STOP. FINDING. KITS.

Skycrackle asked to join the clan bcus he was a loner w/ 3 kits, and he became a healer, then two of his kits died (rip Cliffkit and Palekit) and the other went on to become a warrior named Blizzardswan... and then he had another bio-kit, currently Nightpaw, with a cat from outside the clan so I kinda wonder if he has like an outsider mate who's kind of abusive but he's still in a relationship with?? idk. or just a bad parent so he keeps having to take all their kits...

either way, on the SAME MOON he had Nightkit, he was out looking for herbs when he HEARD A CAT DIE and found her newborn kits (Littlepaw, Streampaw, Tempestpaw), and so ofc he just adopted them right up... only for, ON THE SAME MOON, a warrior patrol found an abandoned newborn kit (Turlepaw; side note, Turtlepaw's mentor is Lightningcry and they also saved a turtle on patrol together lmao), so OF COURSE logic being logic, SKYCRACKLE ADOPTS THEM...

HIS KITS JUST BECAME APPRENTICES (they're 7 moons here) AND HE ALREADY FOUND ANOTHER DEAD CAT AND ADOPTED THEIR KITS

HELLO??? SIR???

if any of them die im rioting... at least not Nightpaw and Turlepaw I love them

THE DEWS!!! THE DEWS!!!

Referencing this post, Dewkit and Dewbright are cats from my clangen can, FretClan! Currently I'm on Moon 238, and just discovered Dewkit was born blind, which I believe is the first cat I've ever had genuinely born blind on clangen! Meanwhile, Dewbright is one of my favorite cats in the clan, who lost her leg to a bear trap and retired early (around 60 moons old, can't recall her exact age). And they both have heterochromia!!!! I think it's so silly and cute that they're sort of matching in many ways, and I like to think Dewbright really connects with and bonds with Dewkit. Perhaps she was even the one who discovered she was blind!

Anyway, just cause I can, here's the biographies for our little Dews below cut <3

Dewkit She-cat - 2 moons Biological Mother: Dashcrackle (loner; deceased) Adoptive Father: Skycrackle (medicine cat) Foster Mother: Anemonespeckle (not considered a parent) Biological Littermates: Needlekit, Cicadakit Adoptive Older Siblings: Palekit (deceased), Cliffkit (deceased), Blizzardswan, Nightpaw, Littlepaw, Streampaw, Tempestpaw, Turtlepaw Foster Older Siblings: Frondkit, Sleepykit, Stumpykit, Fiercekit (not considered siblings) Description: White and gray smoke she-kit with sunlight ice-colored eyes Traits: Attention-seeker, oddly observant Background: Skycrackle the medicine cat was patrolling for herbs when he heard (another) cat scream in pain and stumbled upon a she-cat loner giving birth. Skycrackle helped the loner---Dash---through the difficult birth, but was unable to save her (she requested the name Dashcrackle before death, asking if Skycrackle would care for her kits before her death). Skycrackle, having accepted two previous litters of loners, easily accepted Dewkit and the others as his own. Dewkit was nursed by Anemonespeckle, the only queen producing milk in the nursery, though her kits were old enough to be weaned (2 moons older than Dewkit and her littermates). With how crowded the nursery was with competition for one queen's attention, the kittens of the nursery often butted heads, often pushing one another around. Dewkit held her own decently, but it wasn't hard to see that she was often pushed around more than others, and, soon, the cats of FretClan realized Dewkit was blind---the first blind cat they had ever had in the clan. Cats aren't quite sure what to make of it, but Skycrackle is devoted to insuring his daughter that being blind doesn't mean she can't be amazing!

Dewbright Cis she-cat - 86 moons - Elder Paternal Great Grandmother: Nacreripple (deceased) Paternal Grandmother: Belugawave (deceased) Maternal Grandfather: Amberrun (deceased) Biological Parents: Bouncestreak, Jellyfishstalk (deceased) Older Maternal Half-siblings: Burrbelly (deceased), Boragechase, Galeback (deceased) Biological Siblings: Shiveringneedle (medicine cat), Weevilshadow (deceased), Snapkit (deceased), Stoatfoot (deputy), Stoatflash, Sunwave (deceased), Moontail Biological Offspring: Tornsea (deceased), Lightningcry, Lyremask (deceased), Jumprock Biological Grandkits (through Jumprock): Yellowrumble, Tremblepaw (deceased), Sprucepaw (deceased), Fawnpaw (deceased) Description: Long-furred speckled golden and white she-cat with three legs Traits: Childish, great speaker, lore master Background: Dewbright was born as Dewkit to Bouncestreak (mother) and Jellyfishstalk (father) alongside her siblings, Shiveringkit, Weevilkit, and Snapkit, on Moon 152 during Greenleaf when Timberstar was leader. Her sister, Snapkit, was killed by a snake when they were five moons old. Dewpaw was apprenticed to Milky Way, and graduated late at fifteen moons old on Moon 167. Milky Way influenced her to follow the rules, and Dewbright was honored for her enthusiasm. Not even two moons later (Moon 169), and Dewbright's leg got stuck in in a trap set by a Twoleg on the beaches. Dewbright's leg had to be amputated, and the wound quickly festered infection. She survived the infection, though would often have phantom pains and recurring medical issues with her leg stump. She performed decently at her job as a warrior, though noticably began having difficultly as she aged. This was especially hard on her as she entered under Palestar's rule, where cats became more vicious to one another, even resulting in many of her family being injured by their own clanmates. Her father, Jellyfishstalk, died from greencough after being punished for speaking against Palestar. Notably, her mother Bouncestreak was a firm supporter of Palestar, resulting in tension in the family, as Dewbright was one of the few in her family that didn't support Palestar and her crueler ways. Palestar confronted Dewbright about her slowing down, then convinced Dewbright that she should retire early. Dewbright accepted this, though often felt out of place as such a young elder. Eventually, things calmed down during Palestar's rule, and then Palestar passed and Hickorystar took over. It was a bridge between constant in-fighting to something a little more peaceful, and Dewbright finally found herself shining. She took of the clan as an elder, teaching the kits' tales, patching up the camp walls, cleaning up around camp, and helping where she can. Currently, she resides in the elders den with Cavebumble (146 moons), the half-clan daughter of the clan founder Skipstar, and former mate of half the clan (/joking, but she had 4 ex-mates at different times [Wetclaw, Kitefreckle, Burrbelly, Basstail]), and then Dewbright's own mother who recently retired in the past moons, Bouncestreak (122 moons; wanted her to die yet she never did! Similar to her daughter, she has a permanent twisted/weak leg)

NO NOT MY BOY

whose going to adopt random kits now?!? :(((

seriously, look at how many kits he has

its literally too many to fit

to recap, he:

-joined the clan with his bio-kits, Palekit (died), Cliffkit (died), and Blizzardswan -he had another bio-kit he brought into the clan, Nightcry (dead), and on the same moon, he found a dying queen and took in her kits---Littlechill (dead), Streamsnow (dead), Tempestshell---and THEN, on the next moon, a warrior patrol found a single kit who they brought to camp and Skycrackle adopted, Turtlestripe (dead) -when the above litter was apprenticed, he found ANOTHER queen who died and adopted her kits, Needleheart, Cicadastripe (dead), Dewberry -finally, he came across a queen named Max who he helped finish her kitbirth, then she and her kits joined the clan, Tadpoledapple, Oakroach, and Chaffinchscreech (dead). Skycrackle and Max became really close friends, and Max actually had high romance for Sky and confessed to him, but Sky rejected her and had very little romance. he's aroace to me <3 (Max also recently died. they're reunited!!! besties!!)

Skycrackle asked to join the clan bcus he was a loner w/ 3 kits, and he became a healer, then two of his kits died (rip Cliffkit and Palekit) and the other went on to become a warrior named Blizzardswan... and then he had another bio-kit, currently Nightpaw, with a cat from outside the clan so I kinda wonder if he has like an outsider mate who's kind of abusive but he's still in a relationship with?? idk. or just a bad parent so he keeps having to take all their kits...

either way, on the SAME MOON he had Nightkit, he was out looking for herbs when he HEARD A CAT DIE and found her newborn kits (Littlepaw, Streampaw, Tempestpaw), and so ofc he just adopted them right up... only for, ON THE SAME MOON, a warrior patrol found an abandoned newborn kit (Turlepaw; side note, Turtlepaw's mentor is Lightningcry and they also saved a turtle on patrol together lmao), so OF COURSE logic being logic, SKYCRACKLE ADOPTS THEM...

HIS KITS JUST BECAME APPRENTICES (they're 7 moons here) AND HE ALREADY FOUND ANOTHER DEAD CAT AND ADOPTED THEIR KITS
