"When do you think Oatstar will do the naming ceremony...?"

"I hope soon. Juniperpaw has been giving me grief ever since I told her I passed on my recommendation to Eagleburn."

Sitting together, Orchidspots and Hollyclaw preened in the early morning sunlight, sharing tongues and passing gossip back and forth. Elsewhere, the clan was bustling with activity. In the distance, Eagleburn busied himself with arranging the morning and afternoon hunting patrols, while Juniperpaw was practicing her hunting prowl.

"Sleekpaw is almost there as well," murmured Hollyclaw, irritation rising in the dappled gray cat's voice. Emerald eyes drifted until they fixed on Eagleburn. The black, scarred tom-cat stood tall and proud. Even from their distance in this sun-blessed spot, Hollyclaw could feel the aura of confidence he radiated. Truly, that cat was a gift from StarClan. For how else would they survive under the leadership of such a self-doubting cat?

"I'm worried Oatstar will keep up this habit of his, and we'll end up having a bunch of apprentices running the clan."

Orchidspots shuddered, causing his ginger, bengal-patterned pelt to ripple as if caught in an intense shiver.

"Don't curse us with that," he hissed, swatting her with his tail. The she-cat chuckled.

"We both know Eagleburn won't let that happen," she reassured, her tone confident as she glanced back to their deputy. Yes, by the day, it seemed more and more like Eagleburn was their true deputy, and not Oatstar. While she did believe StarClan had given them Eagleburn as a deputy for reason, she felt dubious of why they had allowed Oatstar to assume the role of leader.

Had StarClan no power over a past leader's choices? Could they not see a cat as unworthy, and not permit them their nine lives?

... Did Oatstar even have his nine lives?

"Why do you look like you have your head in the clouds?"

Orchidspots's curious voice made Hollyclaw snap out of her thoughts, quickly shaking her head.

"Sorry. Thinking about my next round of training with Sleekpaw," she lied, and Orchidspots nodded understandingly.

"Yes... I need to think about my next excuse for Juniperpaw as to why her warrior ceremony is delayed again."

Sleekwhisker!

Struggled with her color Palette terribly and I'm still not 100% satisfied

Funny how only 1/3 of the apprentices from AvoS actually survived, and only 1 of them are still in ShadowClan. Hm. Yeah. Amazing right?

[IMAGE ID: The ShadowClan apprentices from A Vision of Shadows lined up in a forest. Sleekpaw, Needlepaw, Beepaw, Juniperpaw, Yarrowpaw, and Strikepaw. Describing left to right. Sleekpaw is light cream with an slightly orange-cream muzzle and stripe on her back. She has a white chest and orange-cream paws, tail-tip and green eyes. She has her mouth open talking to Needlepaw who is to her right. Needlepaw is a light gray with a lighter gray muzzle, dash on her chest, paws, tail-tip, and green eyes. She is looking at Sleekpaw with a happy expression, her mouth has a smile that shows her teeth. Next to them Juniperpaw is looking slightly behind him to talk to Strikepaw. He is a plain black with green eyes and has his mouth open as if he’s talking. Strikepaw‘s mouth has a closed smile and is dark brown with darker brown stripes, tail tip, and orange eyes. In front of Strikepaw and Juniperpaw, Beepaw and Yarrowpaw are crouched down, both with their mouths open. Beepaw is white with a black front paw and wrist, ears, tail, and blue eyes.

How is Tawnypelt and Rowanstar's relationships with their 3 kids?

Complicated.

Rowanstar is a good father, very patient and long since outgrown his temper than he had back in earlier times.

(Fun fact, he was the very first cat to transition at the lake! The sire for the Tiger Flame Dawn litter is his brother, Cedarheart)

He loved his kids ferociously and was determined not to be like his own father, Brokenstar, who didn't care at all that he had children.

With Dawnpelt, he tried his best to be understanding when she had big emotions. Sometimes thought, Dawn REALLY just needed space. He could be a bit overbearing, but while she hated it as a young apprentice, when she saw how some other cats were with their kits, she was at least thankful he was trying so hard, even if it was "a bit much".

She didn't enjoy her father being leader, and was okay with disagreeing with him. She thought his picks for his deputies were biased, she thought he needed to be more outspoken when Onestar and Bramblestar split up Violetkit and Twigkit, and he needed to wrangle in the rebellious apprentices... One of which being his own granddaughter Sleekpaw.

When everything was said and done, and the two met again in Starclan, the apologized. Dawnpelt for being so brash, and Rowanstar for never taking suggestions on board. He... Still regrets not saying anything about the Skyclan Twins.

With Flametail, he was initially very confused when his son wanted so badly to be a Cleric. Surely he would want to train with his siblings? But Flamekit was insistent!

He supported Flamepaw's endeavors, and did eventually understand better it once Flamepaw explained himself. He wanted the connection to Starclan. He wanted to learn more than just hunting and fighting. He wanted to guide cats, and he wanted a position that could make him feel strong and confident without having to be violent. He enjoyed the power being a Cleric gave him, and used it for good.

It scared the ever-loving shit out of Rowanclaw, having an ambitious son. His own father had been known for his love of strength, confidence and power... He'd plunged Shadowclan into a dark age, but... It seemed Flametail had all of the fire, but none of the heat.

Rowanstar was proud of his son, and devastated when he died. He received one of his 8 lives from Flametail for Justice, to always protect the innocent, even when they are ungrateful, and even when they'll hate you for it.

He held onto that life until Sleekwhisker ripped it out of him.

With Tigerheart? He wished the fricken kid would stop growing already! Tigerkit was already a big kitten, but Tigerpaw was Rowanclaw's size, and by the time he had bulked out enough to become Tigerheart, his son was massive. Like, there would have been memes about it.

Rowanstar would never not be proud of his boy, the one who was easiest to understand. Of all the kits, he was closest with Tigerheart. He often took him out hunting, which incidentally is how Tigerheart earns his name early in WCR! The kits are born in Eclipse, and Tiger earned his name early as of The Fourth Apprentice.

Speaking of names... Rowanclaw was not ashamed of the name Tawnypelt picked... But he begged Blackstar to give him "the nicest suffix you can think of". He knew it was hurting his son. He knew it had fractured Tigerpaw and Tawnypelt's relationship permanently. Tigerpaw catching a massive pheasant and immediately fighting off a dog earned him his name early. Blackstar picked the nicest suffix he could think of.

When Rowanstar found out that his son had trained in the Dark Forest, he was sad, but not surprised. He knew his son felt like an outcast, and Ro had the emotional intelligence to look at the DF Trainees and see that... Most of them felt that way too. It was why he tried to push the AVOS apprentices together so hard, why such an emphasis on being part of the group was placed... Tigerheart had managed to find both grandfathers despite his insistence that their family history be kept blank, that they could be a new family... it was one of the reasons he kept Tigerheart so close afterwards as well, he couldn't let that happen, he wouldn't let his son become the person everyone assumed he would be.

Ironically for all their closeness, Rowanstar had no idea until much later that Tigerheart was seeing Dovewing.

With Tawnypelt...? Oh boy....

Tawnypelt has a lot of personality, and sometimes, it clashes with her loved ones.

With Flametail, she wanted to make sure he wasn't just becoming a Cleric because of his tumultuous childhood. After he assured her though, she supported him 100%. Nothing about it bothered her, and she often tried to support him by quizzing him! Tawnypelt was closest with Flametail, if I'm honest. He made her incredibly proud, and she praised the ambition he felt.

With Dawnpelt.... Oh god... You know that Thing that happens when some girls are too much like their mother? That's gotta be what happened here.

Originally, she was going to name her daughter Flowerkit, after Goldenflower. But her own troubled relationship with her mom stopped her. Time is a flat circle for you, Tawny.

Too stubborn, too boisterous, and far too ready to pounce. Dawnpelt, in everything but her fur colour, was Tawnypelt's spitting image. They even sound so alike that Jayfeather sometimes mistakes them for one another if he's not paying attention.

Dawnpelt had her own opinions on life and how things worked. If she disagreed, you'd know it. When she and Crowpaw (Crowfrost) started courting in early OOTS, Tawnypelt disapproved. She didn't like him much, and it got worse after they became warriors and Crowfrost's brother Spiderpelt legs. She thought that her daughter shouldn't be with a cat Tawny had caught sneaking around to visit his brother. When Flametail died and Dawnpelt blamed Jayfeather, Tawnypelt was so wrapped up on grief that she couldn't see what was happening.

She'll never forgive herself for what happened to Dawnpelt. That they never really 'got better'. She feels even worse seeing what her granddaughter Sleekwhisker had become. She blames herself.

But the grand-daddy of all bad parent child relationships is by FAR with Tigerheart. Her biggest baby. She knee what she wanted to name him before he even took a breath. She had let Ro name Flamekit, and had named Dawnkit after the time she'd been born, but the last one, the squealing, brown tabby bundle, she resolved to name Tigerkit.

This single decision almost ruined his life.

No one wanted to be his friend except is siblings. Everyone went quiet when his name was called. No one had wanted to cheer Tigerpaw as loudly as they had Flamepaw and Dawnpaw... He knew why. He took history lessons. He knew why cats got nervous if he got angry, he knew why his mentor, the sinister Oakfur, preferred Battle Training over anything else.

All he wanted was to be himself, but Tigerkit and Tigerpaw and Tigerheart got pulled every which way.

When he finally met his grandfathers in the Dark Forest, they told him he could be whoever he wanted. He could be with Dovewing, of course. He would make his mother proud in a way that wasn't JUST "redeeming a name", and she would stop holding his own name, the one she'd given him, over his head.

He loves Tawnypelt dearly. He'd do just about anything for his mom. But he doesn't like her at all. He's just glad she adores Dovewing.

[wc-confessions]

Here are some interesting facts about how the names of cats were translated into "Into the wild" in Russian translation:

Redtail - Ragetail

Tigerclaw - Claw (or Talon idk)

Whitestorm - Blizzard

Darkstripe - Get ready... STOCKADE

Willowpelt - Blueeye

Mousefur - Brush

Ravenpaw - Burnt

Sandpaw - Mustard (Later, her warrior name will be translated literally)

Graypaw - Tangle (warrior name - Steepside (Krutobok). But the Russian community sometimes jokingly interpret the root of the word "Kruto" as cool. There's a wordplay going on here, don't pay attention)

Goldenflower - Goldenneck

Speckletail - Ermine (Although it was initially translated verbatim, but in the second edition it was changed to this name)

Smallear - Earless

One-eye - Crooked

Dappletail - Ashberry

Runningnose - Wetwhisker

Wetpaw - Sleekpaw

Littlepaw - Fluffpaw

Ashfur - Firebrand

Tallstar - Star ray

Crockedstar - Meteor (Although his kit, apprentice and warrior name were translated literally in his speciality)

Yellowfang - Gaptoothed

These names have such an author's translation for a simple reason: at that time, no one knew that in 20 years there would be + 80 books, so no one bothered about the translation and thought that there would be about 6 books. Another reason may be because minor characters did not want to be strongly singled out, so they were given such simple names so that Firepaw (who was simply translated as Fire, but his warrior name was later translated literally) stood out as the main character.

For this reason, by the way, Ashfur(TC) was translated as Coalkit when he was a kitten, and in subsequent books they forgot about him and did not translate his apprentice and warrior name. As a result, in the Russian translation we have a villain with a kit name

[perfectskipperly]

Some drawings I made for art fight on my characters 🎉

and these are also the official designs for my The frosted hearts! I do the list randomly since I have no real beginning but of course my boy CrookedPaw was first (and this is his earlier design I always forget to draw his arm crooked)

Characters: (without descriptions because their already in number arrangement)

CrookedPaw, FoxPaw, SleekPaw, DustClaw, EmberStar, TreeStar and SootPaw

[hayheadd]

I am so obsessed with ur warrior au I love the designs SO much,, ; ; I was wondering if you had any ideas abt the rest of the Apple road gang??

Yes I dooooo!!!!

The one design I have posted on my tumblr is Lara whose warrior cat name is Riverpebble. I mostly chose this name because she just looks like she would be a Riverpaw. And also Riverpebble. Gravelpebble. Gravel. It kind of fits. And her nickname in the original is also water based (trout). She's a long-furred gray spotted she-cat with blue eyes

I'm still not sure about the exact name I want to give to Grief. In russian his last name is literally owl but I couldn't find any suffixes that would fit his character and also not sound like a tongue twister with the -Owl prefix. So I decided eventually to call him Sleektalon, again cause he would definitely be a Sleekpaw and for that nice owl/bird imagery. Maybe his nickname is Owl instead of Grief. I imagine him as an orange tabby tom with green eyes. (holding a fishing hook)

Rubin!!! He is bald. So I made him a black (massive) donskoi cat with fur on his chest, legs and tail with yellow eyes (based on this kitty) (kind of like the opposite of my herb bride designs)

His name is Rockfang. Because rubies are rocks. If he finished his menkhu training he would've been a Rockheart

as a bonus i give you Katerina Saburova named Molesight (looking tortured)

Hawkstar Au: Part 6

Brambleclaw, now in the old Forest Territories, decides to go to Twolegplace with Barley, hoping that maybe some remnants of the clans exist capable of taking down Hawkstar. While they do find plenty of Rogues eager to tear at them, they do eventually find an young Fang, going by Honeysuckle at the time. Honeysuckle, knowing about the clans from his mother Gremlin, becomes interested in helping them, begging to go along with them as they journeyed Twolegplace for help. Begrudgingly, they take his help. Hearing more about the clans from Brambleclaw, he decides to give himself an warrior name, Fangpaw! No, that is too an warrior name!

With Breezepaw now an member of Riverclan, he decides to dawn the name Stormpaw, hoping that changing his name would be enough to keep Windclan from realizing it was him. Despite annoyance from Sleekpaw about the attention he was getting, he enjoyed Breezepaw's presence, finding his lack of fear towards him to be quite nice really. Tadpolepaw was more worried regarding her father's plans, and sick of Sunshadow's presence that was slowly growing out of Hawkstar's own control, wanted to do something!.. Then came the Apprentice from Thunderclan. In secret the two met, and Tadpolepaw couldn't believe it! Her? Sleekpaw? This cat's brother?? Stormpaw is her half-brother?? Despite calling him delusional, he insisted they were the only ones capable of fixing the Hawkstar situation. Despite her dwindling loyalty to Hawkstar, she couldn't help but agree to the plan, hoping deep down that Mothwing was watching. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to meet her mother.. her real mother.

Dawnpaw, Flamepaw, and Adderpaw help Tadpole and Jay fake a sign from Starclan in Riverclan about Sunshadow, who was beginnin to get greedy with his position and wanting Hawkstar to make him deputy. Hawkstar knew that the sign from Starclan was fake, he'd faked plenty for him and Mothwing!.. And yet, he chose to believe it, not even knowing that five apprentices had done so, and took his anger out on Sunshadow. Furious that he dared to want more, he was exiled and Hawkstar admitted to not believing a word Sol said when he first arrived, before giving him a ten second start. Sol was found dead on the Windclan border, being considered a warning by Crowstar. With Sol gone, some found it odd how Hawkstar, who had believed him, was willing to slaughter and exile him when he could have just chased him off all that time ago. His grip on Riverclan, once iron tight, was now beginning to slip.

Back in Thunderclan, news of Sol's death reaches, and Ashfur begins to disappear more and more in the coming days. What on earth could he be doing?? In truth, Ashfur would meet with Hawkstar every night, telling each other news regarding their own clans, and one night, Jaypaw decided to investigate. Eavesdropping, he found that Ashfur planned to kill Firestar and become leader, hoping an position like that would make Squirrelflight his mate, regardless of whether or not she was willing. Then, he planned ally with Riverclan and attack Shadowclan, hoping that with Blackstar's deteriorating mental health that he would surrender and allow for Shadowclan to be annexed into New Tigerclan, Hawkstar's idea for taking over the clans. Astonished, Jaypaw managed to get away before either could get their paws on him, although Ashfur had seen but an tuft of his gray, silver fur... The next following days were him, as he was soon to be given his warrior name, but Ashfur was so admandant on keeping his eyes on him; Every chance Ashfur got he tried to kill Jaypaw, but would end up failing and it being chalked up to an accident or an slip of the paw. When time came for his ceremony, he chose the name Jayheart, honoring Brightheart and to give himself confidence in revealing Ashfur's motives.

The Gathering was... tense for quite some time, the tension being thick enough to cut between Riverclan, Shadowclan and Windclan. It was near storming as the three clans argued and bickered, Blackstar too unwell and leaving Russetfur to pick up the pieces. Tadpolepaw had graduated early and been given the name of Tadpolefrost, a name given to her by her father; Sleekpaw was named Sleekclaw for his strength and fury. As if Starclan itself was enraged at the entropy of it all, lightning struck. A fire started on the little island. Everyone ran in fear, some falling the waters and managing to swim away. However, Jayheart, Tadpolefrost, and Sleekclaw had been stuck alongside Leafpool and Squirrelflight on the bridge, afraid that they would teeter off into the water. Ashfur stood in front of them, eyes filled with envy and malice, harbored all to Squirreflight. "My quarrel is with you Squirrelflight. You had a chance to accept me when that traitor Brambleclaw tried to kill your father, but you've wasted it. I know your secrets. I know what your kits really are." "Kits?! I'm not Thunderclan warrior's kit!" Sleekclaw snarled at Ashfur, only for the older tom to hysterically laugh. "Oh you don't know do you? That Leafpool is your mother? That you were never the kits of some poor loner?" "We know. And there isn't anything you can do to make us think otherwise of her." Tadpole and Jay retorted. Jayheart soon realized what Ashfur intended to speak next,, all too late. "I kitnapped you."

Oh no.
