#swampkit

[dovewingkinnie]

the missing kits for the warriors fnaf au!! chose the most obscure kits as the victims jsdf they are mentioned in like 2 lines but its ok (these are all kits that have died in the books, most of them died by murder except for a few) petalkit takes on the role of cassidy!! thought it would be interesting for her to be vengeful like her mother is (more on mapleshade later) and also give mapleshades kits more character

Swampkit is cranky little thing. She hates being told what to do— someone is always on her case about cleaning up her fur, not biting so hard, putting that disgusting thing back where you found it. They never understand her deep-seated need to collect unique treasures. Pretty rocks, cool bugs, smooth bones and other bits and pieces are carefully hidden away so that adults don’t take them away from her.

Below she’s pictured with her latest prize: a decaying hawk talon.

Leaders Lives: Blackstar

Picked a random Leader for the first edition of this. Going to detail who gives Blackstar his 9 Lives, how he loses them and in what order.

Blackstar is actually a unique case. He does NOT get 9 lives all at once. Starclan doesn't trust him enough, and makes him work for them, which he does.

His first life gained is from Stonefur, his victim. Stonefur gives him a life for Hard Work. Good luck, Blackstar. You're going to need it. Blackstar is warned that if he does not work hard, he and his beloved Clan will fall. He gets the life right after The Darkest Hour.

His second is from Blizzardwing, his angry, regret filled father. He doesn't want to be connected with the cat who made him so miserable, but he knows he has to take it, for Shadowclan. The life is Acceptance. He gets it before The New Prophecy, after Firestar's Quest.

The third is a life for Perspective, from Badgerfang. He also gets this life at the same time as Blizzardwing's. These two lives will be a Bonus Scene for Midnight.

The fourth life is from Hollyflower. While Blackstar has a complicated relationship with his mother, and wishes more than anything that she and Blizzardwing had just walked away from each other, he was always closer with his mother. The life she gives is for Compassion. He gains it during Moonrise, right after having lost one of the few lives he has from a poisoned frog. (Sorry for mixing up you and Fernshade!)

Lives five and six are from Swampkit and Yellowfang. Swampkit gives him a life for Judgement, and Yellowfang gives him a life for Trust. He gains the lives at the beginning of Sunset, after seeing Onestar get his 9 from the Moonpool. During the end of Sunset though, he will lose another.

After the events of Leafpool's Wish but before The Sight, he gets 2 more! The first being his old buddy... Brokenkit. When Brokentail died, his soul split in 2. Being the living embodiment of a curse meant that his life was changed before his great grandmother had breath in her lungs. Starclan, as an apology for the torment that Brokenstar's mind gave him due to his cursed birth, allow a different version, the "What could have been" Brokenkit, who would have been named Flamekit after Silverflame and died at 5 moons old. Brokenkit/Flamekit gives Blackstar his seventh life, for Unity.

His eight life after the kitten bounds away to his mom is from Nightstar, who gives him a life for Loyalty. These 2 lives, Unity and Loyalty, would seem a bit at odds to a younger Blackstar. But with his age has come genuine wisdom, he knows he needs to both stand with the other Clans, and do what is best for his cats.

The final life does not come from Shadowstar, but rather, from Sun Shadow. The life is for something that Sun Shadow claims Blackstar "doesn't need any help with". It's Leadership. He gains this life during the end of The Sight, with Jaypaw watching from afar.

As for order lost and how:

Blizzardwing - Acceptance - Hit by a tree branch just days before the events of Midnight.

Badgerfang - Perspective - Poisoned frog in Moonrise, which makes him go to the Moonstone for guidance and gets him a life from Fernshade.

Hollyflower - Compassion - The Fox Trap during Sunset takes this life, soon after he got it too. This is the other half of the Blood Will Spill Blood Prophecy, with Tigerstar's sister Mistfang getting him in a trap beside Firestar.

Yellowfang - Trust - A kidney infection that would not respond to any treatments during Dark River.

Brokenkit/Flamekit - Unity - Infected wounds from The Eclipse Battle. Unity was truly shown here, dying from rightfully defending Thunderclan.

Nightstar - Loyalty - Smoke inhalation during The Fire in Long Shadows. He dies saving his former mate, Tallpoppy.

Swampkit - Judgement - Dehydration during The Fourth Apprentice. This one was brutal.

Sun Shadow - Leadership - Snake bite during Sign of The Moon, not venomous, but it did get an artery. He gets a sick-ass scar from it on his neck though!

Stonefur - Hard Work - In a twist of fate, Blackstar is murdered by Redwillow during the Great Battle.

Cackling because I just realized 3/4 of the DawnCopper kits have fur as their suffix

What was their reaction to that? Does Blossom tease them about it because they have -tail as a suffix instead? (Aside from Apple, who chose fur for unknown reasons instead of something cool like shade or scratch or crunch)

Copperleaf answers this in this post!

....oh... oh this is so ironic now. i definitely did that on purpose

haha but yeah! Applefur's name was actually chosen by Brokenstar who was literally just lazy and did not care, and Oakfur and Swampfur were named so because Nightstar was so much lazy but kind of "under pressure" and unable to come up with Fancy, Meaningful names. Blossomtail is in the same boat, he just happened to get a different suffix. maybe he's tail's a little longer than his siblings idk

(the out-of-canon reason is that Applefur and Oakfur are canon warriors and i was gonna jokingly named Swampkit and Blossomkit Swampfur and Blossomfur... but i really liked Blossomtail and figured it was more different from Blossomfall while still being basic. ironically i think Blossomtail looks more like Blossomfall than Blossomfur. whoops. also Blossom is becoming less of a word the more i type it and im going insane)

Blossomtail totally does tease his siblings btw

Swampfur never used to care but now she gets pissed off when he mentions it

Oakfur is a bit annoyed but doesn't care ultimately

and Applefur died

[390]

we don’t know much about snowtuft other than he was part of the dark forest and (apparently) alive in the first arc under tigerstar’s leadership

i don’t believe he was around in tpb. the erins most likely slotted him there for backstory purposes without realizing it wouldn’t make sense in the canon timeline

i came up with a headcanon not too long ago that i feel would better justify his existence in the first arc

snowtuft is one of the kits of dawncloud and finchflight. he was born alongside blossomkit and swampkit

it’s mentioned in into the wild that dawncloud lost two of her kits in the battle that drove windclan out. these are confirmed to be blossomkit and swampkit. she says she “wishes to not lose any more of my kits” implying some are still alive

with this in mind, snowtuft, then snowkit, participates in the battle. he tries to attack a windclan warrior whose claws injure him greatly. he bleeds out. the last thing he remembers before losing consciousness was his littermates fighting to protect their brother, only to die in front of him. his scar is a permanent reminder of that day

[stus-warrior-designs]

Run little guy run

[just-gingerkat]

Swampkit! The oldest kit being 5 moons old. He's impulsive and is interested in the dark forest. Uh oh.

Missing Kits Part 1/?

Love em or hate em, you can't deny that the Missing Kits gave some of the best prefixes, and added a little bit of personality onto the poor kiddos forgotten by the 'editing team'.

Lynxkit - Now a fluffy, pale brown tabby molly. She is trained by Tigerclaw initially, which is pointed out as very weird, as he is her father, after his exile she is handed off to Heatherwish, Longtail's sister, and her warrior name is... Lynxpetal! She doesn't take a mate, but has a son during Power of Three.

Blossomkit - Now the daughter of Dawncloud and Stumpytail, Stumpytail won father of the year award by recommending Blossomkit and her brother be trained early. She managed to survive the Windclan raid, and is traumatized heavily by it. As promised, Brokenstar names her an apprentice, his apprentice. He is naming her Blossomclaw just as the Battle For Shadowclan begins. She later becomes mates with Lavenderpool (another missing kit I'll get there) and becomes a Medicine Cat. More on that later.

Swampkit - Now a white tom with a stump tail and pale orange eyes. Swampkit, sadly, was a casualty of the battle. He was shoved away by Bristlethorn and he went tumbling, his head accidentally hitting a rock, killing him in seconds. The few Windclan cats that stayed on the territory found him, and gave him a nice burial.

Elderkit - Now dark gray with a light belly, he survives and overcomes the weakness he had been born with. He is mentored by Russetmoth (OC) at first, then by Chestnutwing after Russet's death, earning the name Eldersong. During The New Prophecy, Eldersong is the final cat to go to the Moonstone and transition. She is renamed Elderleaf!

Tulipkit - Someone else dies of Greencough instead of him. He is mentored by Sweetberry and cares heavily for her after her retirement. His warrior name is... Tulipfur! His mate is... Someone... And his daughter is brought to Thunderclan as they're recovering from the horrible fire in Power Of Three.

More under the cut, there's a lot of em!

Mistlekit - Now a pale gray tabby molly with small ears, Mistlekit survives her whitecough and grows up! Her mentor is Cricketfang, Dappletail and Stormpelt's son. Her warrior name is Mistleberry, and she becomes mates with Stempelt, the son of Runningwind and... Redtail. Redtail died before their Shadowclan surrogate gave birth. She has 2 children with Stempelt.

Eaglekit - Eaglekit lives! His mentor is Bristlethorn and his warrior name is Eaglefoot. He is a good guy, and mentors Tawnyfur. Unfortunately, he is one of the poisoned rabbit deaths during The New Prophecy. He would have been Tallerstar's replacement choice, too...

Quailkit - Now a ginger tom with amber eyes. Gorsepaw's brother. Like Gorsepaw, he lives too. He is mentored by Oatwhisker and his warrior name is Quailclaw for his hot temper. He never takes a mate, and dies during The Hopeless Storm, saving Nightcloud and Pickletail.

Storkkit - Sadly, Storkkit is still born sleeping due to how much stress Morningflower was under. She is seen in Starclan though as Storkbreeze. She would have been an incredible Medicine Cat, the Windclan Raid should have never happened.

Hillkit - Crowfeather's brother, mentioned to look just like their mother Ashfoot. He was mentored by Darkfoot, his grandpa, and supports Mudclaw during his attempted coup. His warrior name is Hillfang, but he is killed during the Battle.

Downkit - Now a pure black fluffy molly with green eyes. While Downkit survives her birth and is mentored by Onewhisker, Downpaw sadly passes from eating a poisoned rabbit with her big brother Eaglefoot.

Morningkit - Graypool's daughter. Sadly, she born asleep, but Mistystar gets to see her during her leadership ceremony, she doesn't have a life to give, but gives Mistystar congratulations and reassurance.

Splashkit - Graypool's son. A victim of Fading Kitten Syndrome. His death sends Graypool into a deep depression. He is now a little copy of his sire, Rippleclaw.

Swankit - Now a pretty white tom with a black face, black chest and yellow eyes. He survives the winter and is mentored by Marshcloud, becoming Swancall for his lovely voice. He is also the mate of Vixenleap and has 4 children with her. He dies during the Bloodclan Battle and will give Mistystar a life.

Wildfur - He is NOT Snowbird's son now, instead he is the son Frostwave and an unkown tom! His spine is broken during Long Shadows. The fire spread onto the edge of Thunderclan territory to Shadowclan, and a tree falls on him. His lungs are weakened from some smoke inhalation, and while he does retire (he also says "I've been a Stars-Blessed hunter for more moons than I can count! I've earned it.") The ensuing whitecough he contracts that winter is simply too much to bare, and he dies in Cruel Season.

Nightwing - Now the daughter of Frostwave and an unknown tom. She no longer participates in the Mudclaw Onewhisker battle, still grieving her missing son and praying for her other son's recovery. She is an elder after The Great Battle and passes away from Yellowcough. Tigerstar announces their birth because Nightstar never got to.

Snaketail - Born to Tallpoppy and Blackfoot, though his parents quickly split up during Tigerclan. He is much more battle hungry, and sucked in to the Dark Forest and fights for them during The Great Battle, dying when he tries to attack the Windclan nursery. He looks like a poofier Tallpoppy with extra toes. His mentor is Russetfur.

Smokefoot - He is now named Firwish. He is also now a white with brown tabby patches and yellow eyes, also born to Blackfoot and Tallpoppy. His mentor is Boulder. As a reference to his canon name, he also loses one of his feet due to injuries during The Eclipse Battle.

Marshkit - The son of Tallpoppy and a kittypet. He is now dark brown with white paws and soft fur. He gets caught in a fox trap, but survives with heavy scarring around his neck. He is mentored by Wildfur, and named Marshscar.

Oatkit - Description now switched with Waterkit. She is now a ginger and white tabby molly. Sadly, she is still a stillborn. She is seen during Leopardstar's Leader ceremony, but doesn't give her a life.

Waterkit - Now a light golden trans molly with very faint dapples and amber eyes. She transitioned late in her apprenticeship. She is the sister Leopardstar pushed away for more power and strength. She gets together with Tangleburr thanks to Tigerclan, and sires 3 kits, though only 1 survives...

Carpkit - Sadly, this little guy still doesn't make it, but now he looks like a copy of Mudfur with a white belly. He now gives Leopardstar a life for Acceptance.

Dawnflower - New name for her! Her name is now Paleflower. She is Mosspelt's daughter, the father being Mudthorn, who has been taken and repurposed. She is Minnowtail's momma, remember? Lots of M names in the family.

There are still a LOT more. Hold on for part 2!

Bonefall's Forgotten Warriors

If you've ever set out to make a WC fan project, you've surely heard of Su Susann's Missing Kits. It was a series of authorial statements giving names to previously unnamed cats, and adding interesting little stories to many of them.

But there's also a TON of "Forgotten Warriors" that were created through timeline inconsistencies, offhanded authorial statements, or single throwaway lines in super editions. By their nature, finding these cats on the wiki is a pain in the butt. In this post I hope to compile these cats as a resource for the fandom.

So first, let's define a Forgotten Warrior.

A Forgotten Warrior does not have a big presence. Primrosepaw was first named as a Missing Kit with no mention of her name on the page or in the allegiances. Over time, she has appeared in several books and is now a widely known name in the fandom. But Blossomkit, whose only appearance is in Su Susann's Missing Kits and the worst field guide, will count as a Forgotten Warrior.

A Forgotten Warrior is not just a nondescript Clan cat. For example, if a "ThunderClan warrior" speaks up at a gathering and their name and description is not mentioned, that could be anyone. Same applies to a description that could easily describe an existing character in a Clan-- if a "White ShadowClan Warrior" appears in a modern arc, that may just be Stonewing, BUT, the "Tabby Queen with Distinct Black Markings" of TPB doesn't match any other, so she is a Forgotten Warrior.

A minor appearance inconsistency is not a Forgotten Warrior. Just to pre-empt wiseassery. Blue-eyed Dovewing and Green-eyed Dovewing are not two separate cats-- but I will note down MASSIVE appearance changes in background characters, like the magic color AND gender-changing Stoatfur (just add water!)

(also, I will not be compiling all of the random kittypets, rogues, and loners because there is too many of them. I could, however, be persuaded to compile all cats of a specific group, like The Kin, Sisters, BloodClan, etc.)

This post is an updating list as I find and catalogue more cats. Last update: 8/21/23, version 1.1 Added new category: Sudden Elders
