New Squirrelwhisker family tree!!

Ok so now what I’ve changed is that Sandstorm + Featherkit and Cricketkit are now the kits of Runningbreeze (Runningwind) and a Rouge/Bloodclan cat Tess (she’s a character in Ravenpaw’s Path), they were both young at the time, it was a very non serious relationship and ended when she got pregnant. Tess asked Runningbreeze to take them back to his clan as Tess didn’t have the means to take care of them, nor did she want kits, and Runningbreeze had a community of cats to raise them, he agreed and before they were born he asked Dapplecloud (Dappletail) to take them.

More Character backstory below

Dapplecloud had wanted kits for a very long time, she was mates with Stormtail for a time when she was a younger warrior but she couldn’t have kits, which was definitely hard on her. At some point she’d broken up with Stormtail realising their relationship was not healthy and tried to focus on spending more time on her family, she absolutely loved her niece and nephew, she and her brother were very close with Mouseburr and Runningbreeze, they were Auntie Dapplecloud and Uncle Thrushpelt and great warriors the two of them looked up to.

So when Runningbreeze came to her asking for her help, Dapplecloud agreed, no warrior would turn down kits in need, especially family. Sometime in the future a part of Dapplecloud would regret this decision.

In the first two months every thing was fine, the kits were little angels, Rodinwing’s litter was taking a liking to the three new little kits and Willowpelt was settling into the nursery. Rosetail, the caretaker of the nursery was going to have her paws full.

But as the months of winter went on, the prey became increasingly more scarce then others, so many cats died that winter. Her brother, Leopardfoot, two of Robinwing’s kits along with her mate and herself… and so many more….

Cricketkit and then Featherkit included… Cricketkit early on and Featherkit so close to being apprenticed, he was born deaf but that never stopped him, he and his family had developed their own language built on clan cats own limited sign language used in patrols and other clan activities. Featherkit was a determined and kind kit. But the harsh winter does not care about the lives of mortals.

The loss affected her deeply… But Sandkit and the rest of the clan continued on.

One of the things that brings Sandstorm and Fireheart together is Cloudkit, in my rewrite Cloudtail and Snowkit are the same character. When Fireheart brings Cloudkit and asks Bluestar to let him stay in the clan, amongst the many voices saying not to let another “weak” kittypet in, Sandstorm surprises Fireheart by advocating for Cloudkit (the little white kit reminds her of her brother) and when Cloudkit is discovered to be hard of hearing Sandstorm and Dapplecloud help Fireheart and Brindleface with different signs and signals.

Cloudtail goes on to help Brightheart when she becomes hard of hearing after the dog attack and their daughter Whitewing, while not hard of hearing is a fantastic sign language teacher and goes on to teach many young cats in Thunderclan and even some cats in other clans the more developed sign language.

Do you have any deeper lore about Windflight? I always thought he was interesting

The sole kit of Squirrelwhisker an Eaglestorm, the result of a half-clan relationship and born under Oakstar's reign, Windflight was treated incredibly poorly by ThunderClan. The only thing that spared him and his mother from the same fate as Mapleshade was Squirrelwhisker accepting any and all punishments and bowing to Oakstar and the clan like a sniveling kit. Some lie and say Windkit was named to honor his origins and where he came from, but in truth it was a grim reminder he was not a true ThunderClan cat, and he had to wear that half-clan badge constantly.

Things didn't truthfully get better until Doestar came into power, and even then, no apologies ever came. The beatings and harassment stopped, and some felt safe to actually speak to him. Squirrelwhisker had done everything in her power to protect his fluffy, tufted ears. She hid his scratches with careful grooming, Windflight looking like a cat no one ever would guess was beaten on as a mere kitten.

Squirrelwhisker looked awful though. Despite being Oakstar's own niece, she had her beautiful ears shredded, her fluffy pelt, patchy and worn. She smiled, eyes bright and glittering for her beloved son, but Windflight hated she felt like she had to do that. He wanted, more than anything, for his mother to be able to cry.

In time he too learned to pretend. He'd smile and joke, all while masking a bitterness towards the cats he called clanmates. He loved his mother, and that was it.

Well, that wasn't entirely true. See Windflight had one friend - a loner named Reina. She didn't know his history, didn't see a reason to judge someone's parentage, and approached him with no judgement in her gaze. He met her quietly in the evenings - Oakstar often having banished him to fend for himself during the dead of night. With Doestar's leadership came ambivalence, and with ambivalene gave some reassurance. Windflight considered simply leaving with Reina, but he could not abandon his mother - not ever.

Reina joined ThunderClan, and took the name Rainfur. She mothered two kits with Windflight - Dapplekit and Thrushkit. Rainfur, being one to never care where someone came from, took in Harepounce's kits to nurse alongside her own. A selfless act that was celebrated soon led to tragedy. The pressure was too much on Rainfur's body, and the shortage of prey led to the she-cat becoming weak. She would die while Dapplekit and Thrushkit still sat at her belly, and Windflight's world was snatched away.

Older cats whispered of the kits being cursed. After all, their mother was a loner, and their father was half-clan. They wouldn't make it far. Those innocent wriggling bundles that he created, that he was supposed to love... he didn't. Windflight hated this clan, hated the kits were born, and hated that Reina was gone. She would never be Rainfur. She would always be Reina to him - before this clan asked things of her when they would've spat in her face if she ever asked in turn.

He merely existed, going about life in stride. After Squirrelwhisker passed in the elder's den, there was little he saw drive for. He took each day as it came, one by one, pretending and smiling, but his smile never reaching his eyes. His kits would grow, looking up at him with pride, and his answers back to them were hollow. As they grew older, they saw it, more and more. Dappletail noticed he never aked how they were, or came to them first. How Windflight never called them his kits, merely by their names at all times. Thrushpelt saw how he didn't offer praise until someone else did so first, mimicking and following along. Windflight was an empty shell, whose expression was emotionless and hollow when no one was around.

"Why don't you just leave?" Thrushpelt would eventually ask. "Why father Poppydawn's kits? Why pretend as if you care?" If he didn't have anyone he loved, if he didn't care about his litters, if he didn't care about Poppydawn now, who looked up at him with so much adoration, why did he stay? Why did he not become the very loner Reina was, the one he did love?

And in truth, Windflight had no answer.

Because he had always been in ThunderClan. He had always been in the very place he hated. He stewed in despair, but never tried to make change.

Windflight was a coward.

So to avoid an uncomfortable age gap and some incest I have redone a portion of family tree

Squirrelwhisker and Eaglestorm have Windflight

Windflight and Rainfur have Tawnyspots

Tawnyspots' mate was Flypelt, a trans tom who died soon after he gave birth to Thrushpelt and Grayflower from Greencough. Grayflower and Thrushpelt are now young apprentices when Bluestar's Prophecy begins (Also, Sparrowpelt/Halftail and White-eye/One-eye are swapping places to make her truly the oldest cat. Sparrowpelt is Speckletail's brother, White-eye has no really discernable parentage, her parents were just generic Thunderclan warriors, not enough for The Named Zone.

Grayflower is now the mother of Dustpelt, Cherryshine and Ravenpaw. Their father? Well, she never says. She keeps that private. Some cats have their whispers but Grayflower is so loyal to Thunderclan, most cats just assume there was a bad breakup involved.

[nonbinary-weirdo]

Can we fucking discuss Squirrelwhisker?! And how gorgeous she looks?!

(She lived during Goosefeathers Curse and Pinestars Choice. I think shes related to Thrushpelt from Bluestars Prophecy)

Wild guess that this is where later on, this is where Squirrelflight/star gets her beauty from!

wc fandom we can make squirrelwhisker and eaglestorm the new squirrelcrow if you think about it,
