ShadowClan Culture
The Cunning: ShadowClan’s territory is colder and sparser than that of other Clans. As a result, these cats prioritize quick thinking and detailed planning. They plan each battle ahead of time, and discuss it afterwards. Their tales are full of heroes who are clever enough to face any obstacle.
ShadowClan cats are small, and often have dark-colored pelts. Kits are named aspirationally, with parents hoping their kit will embody the qualities of their prefix.
Below the cut are the following expansions to ShadowClan's culture:
Council
Holidays
Territory
Territory Powers
Territory Tales
ShadowClan's Council
ShadowClan's Council is made up of 3 members. They will hold the position for three cycles of the seasons, and then a new cat will join the Council. The new member is the winning team leader of their newleaf holiday competition, and one member is replaced each year.
ShadowClan's Council gives advice to the leader, but their main responsibilities are leading battle patrols and coordinating battle training. They are also responsible for guiding discussion and analysis of battles after they are fought.
ShadowClan's deputy is always chosen by the leader. It cannot be one of the cats currently serving on the Council, but may be a cat who has served on the Council previously.
Clan Holidays
MAJOR Each Newleaf, ShadowClan arranges a Clan-wide mock battle. The objective is simple: capture your opponent’s plume, a tall stick with various feather fashioned onto it. Once captured, the plume must be successfully returned to your own base to win the game. The leader of each team is chosen by the medicine cat, believed to be led by StarClan in their decision. The leaders of each team then choose their team members from a line, alternating turns. The leader of the winning team will join the Clan's Council.
MINOR While ShadowClan's major holiday is in newleaf, they still celebrate the holidays of the other seasons.
Greenleaf: ShadowClan celebrates Greenleaf with a game of agility. The Clan is split into two teams, with the leader and deputy taking turns picking cats from a line-up. The cats then gather ripe berries and draw a line through a clearing. Staying on their respective sides of the clearing, each team throws their berries at the opposing team, and when hit by a berry, the cat is 'out'. Afterwards, the Clan works together to clean up all the berry juice, and enjoys a meal together.
Leaf-fall: As the weather begins growing cold, ShadowClan cats will wait for a cold night with a clear sky. On the first such night in the season, cats will go out and find a good vantagepoint of the stars, and spend time reflecting on the past year with the help of StarClan. The following day is spent reflecting as a Clan, and taking time to make amends and air out grievances.
Leafbare: While the other Clans hide from the cold and snow, ShadowClan cats love to play and delight in it. In the heart of leafbare, ShadowClan organizes a stealth exercise. The warriors, queens, and apprentices spread out throughout the territory. Then, the leader, deputy, and council members must work together to catch all of the Clan cats before they reach camp. The kits and elders spend the day within camp keeping track of cats who were found, and cats who got to the camp without being seen!
ShadowClan's Territory
A cold taiga of pine forest, with cold winds blowing down the mountain towards them. With soil frozen solid, there is little to no understory.
Territory Powers
ShadowClan's territory has granted them a variety of abilities to help them thrive in their home.
Softpaws: Leave little to no trace while walking, including making no noise and leaving no footprints, even when walking on snow or frost.
Shadowed: Used to conceal, blending in easily with shadows. Doesn’t make a cat invisible, just harder to notice if you weren’t already looking for them.
Frost-Covered: Can create a thin, icy layer of a surface or item. While the use is in contact with the item, the layer will remain; once there is no more physical contact, the ice will melt as is appropriate for the temperature.
Territory Tales
FROSTFANG Frostfang is a elusive creature. A furred snake with the head of a weasel, it slithers through the snow like an eel through water. Frostfang bites at cats’ paws as they walk through the snow. It’s teeth are made of icicles, causing its victims to get frostbite. Thankfully, warriors can avoid it by travelling in groups and using their Softpaws to walk above the snow. If all else fails, though, climbing a tree with a berry bush at the base will surely get it off your tail! Skeptical cats insist that Frostfang doesn’t exist; a cat on their own in a snowstorm is always susceptible to frostbite and death. They suspect the story is just told to kits to keep them in camp during the cold months.
THE WILD HUNT When the full moon is especially large and bright, a collection of ghostly cats roam all four territories. Named the Wild Hunt, the group catches prey and chases off predators. ShadowClan cats believe that these warriors who broke the Warrior Code in life, whom StarClan has condemned to roam the territories until they earn their place in the Stars.

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.

I would not be surprised if the writing team has been setting up Icewing becoming RiverClan’s leader for some time. She has played a key role in each arc since OoTS.
OoTS: A Dark Forest trainee who lost her son to Brokenstar and later fought against the Dark Forest to protect the Clans.
AVoS: Is wounded and taken as Darktail’s prisoner in the same battle her daughter is killed in. Works with her mate and granddaughter to stage an uprising in which they, along with Reedwhisker, are able to escape and seek temporary refuge in ThunderClan.
TBC: She and Harelight join the rebellion against the false Bramblestar and are later exiled by Mistystar for fighting against their own Clanmates.
ASC: Is chosen by Tigerstar to co-lead RiverClan with himself and Cloverfoot after ShadowClan discovers their succession crisis. She steadfastly remains one of Frostpaw’s only supporters throughout the duration of the arc. She rises as RiverClan’s leader after returning from the journey with Ivypool, Rootspring, Dovewing, and Whistlebreeze.
Someone in the new team latched onto Icewing as their favourite background character and locked tf in I’m so happy for them lol

just finished the 4th avos book i literally don’t even remember what it’s called but i have thoughts so. (its darkest night) AVOS SPOILERS
.
.
.
.
.
still not sure how i feel about twigpaw but i LOVE violetshine. i LOVE that she’s shy and not so sure of herself but genuinely a great warrior and brave cat. she’s smart she’s kind and she’s a bit shy. very nice. ily violetshine u are a female character though so the erins r probably gonna slaughter your character.
rowanclaw is another character i absolutely adore. like OMG i think this is such an interesting plot point to think about. interesting questions about clan life and structure. what happens if a leader isn’t fit for the role? what happens if they step down? even if he doesn’t feel fit to lead the clan, he was such a good leader and cared so deeply for his clan that he stepped down. because that’s what was best. i also love how tawnypelt defends him! i love tawny she should be leading shadowclan.
bramblestar is so useless like he is doing absolutely nothing. at least firestar jumped into the lake to save jay’s stick. like he was doing shit. bramble just sits there all fucking day doing jack shit.
i also think tc has too many cats and the flood should have killed more of them i don’t even know who half these ppl are. who tf is rosepetal. who is stormcloud. who are these people. they also need to get better or more creative with names because why do we have leafstar, leafshade, leafpool, and leaftail? i do miss when names were more characteristic like fucking runningwind or tigerclaw. talltail, runningnose, etc. lame o. there are currently 2 mintfurs.
also ily tree i love violet x tree. autism to autism communication

Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt posing at the gathering, Firestar is taking the picture.
I was looking at the WC wiki and saw that, apparently, TP is Shadowclan deputy now? hell yeah, good for her; tbh I trust her more than Bramble but idk what tf is going on with the series currently, so good luck, I know the Erins are... not good at writing female characters o7 can't wait for Tawny's character assassination if it hasn't already happened.
don't tag as ship

ShadowClan headshot allegiances for the start of each arc
Headcannons and guesswork below
Blossomkit, Oakfur and Swampkit are littermates
I'm borrowing @notwarriorswiki headcannon of Princess leaving her other kits at different clans so that's where Kinkfur came from
Nightwing, Whitethroat and Wildfur are littermates
Volewhisper gets to live past tpb since I like him and him becoming a warrior is a retcon anyway
Snowbird's parents; Applefur (tf) and Deerfoot die soon after she's born so she was raised by her big bro Ratscar
Smokepaw/Smokefoot and Talonpaw are Nightwing and Oakfur's kits
Crowfrost and Whitewater are littermates
Snaketail was a Loner who joined when the clans moved to the lake
Olivenose and Redwillow are Applefur's kits
Scorchfur, Shrewfoot and Spiderfoot are Nightwhisper's kits
Snowbird and Crowfrost have Berryheart, Cloverfoot and Rippletail (Buster) around eclipse (I'm swapping Snowbird and Dawnpelt's mates because the age gaps are gross)
Spiderfoot leaves the clans to become a Kittypet
Ferretclaw, Pinenose and Starlingwing are Olivenose and Smokefoot's kits
Stonewing is Whitewater's kit
Grassheart, Spikefur, Stoatfur and Wasptail are Ivytail and Snaketail's kits

I made the TF 141 boys as warriors cats cuz they bath are my favorite fandoms. Plus drawing humans is *not* my favorite thing to do :,)
LoudEagle/Soap: I gave him that name because he’s loud, and I looked up Scotland’s bird and it’s a eagle so.. yeah? I see him definitely being part of ThunderClan or SkyClan probably the ladder tho
SilentGhost/Ghost: The name is pretty self explanatory honestly. I definitely know he’d be part of ShadowClan, and a Deputy as well. The dudes built like a brick wall
HareLeap/Gaz: I gave him the name HareLeap cuz he fell out of a helicopter.. twice it’s pretty funny. I think he would be a WindClan member, known for their speed makes sense
BraveStar/Price: Definitely a leader no doubt about that. I gave him the name Brave cuz he’s.. brave it’s self explanatory tbh but he would be ThunderClan leader absolutely. He’s old fashioned so he’s going to ThunderClan, don’t like it? Argue with a shoe
This mf drawing took me 3 *HOURS* of my fuckin life. One of the best things I’ve drawn though glad I took the time on it lol. I tried making Soaps scars realistic to cannon, along with Ghost’s uh.. rib cage.. but for Gaz and Price idk if they have cannon scars like Soap, Ghost, or Horangi and König, so I just did what looked best lmao

Do you have plot point in any of the warriors books that you wished was more developed? And one that doesn’t involve all the normal erin writing flaws? Mine is the dog pack from the first arc
They’re supposed to be this ferocious pack that can easily wipe out thunderclan not to mention the other clans, but then canonically the dogs only kill swiftpaw and then die easily by being pushed over the gorge
Thats always been my pet peeve with warrior rewrites, they never utilize the dog pack they always write it with swift still dying as usual, bright dying instead or both living but the dogs *never* kill anything else, honestly i want to tell people to just rewrite the dogs as bloodclan cats instead to go ahead, introduce the rogues and get rid of the dogs because why have these giant terrifying creatures and not utilize them, honestly the dogs should have killed MORE cats, not have it be only tigerstar doing the most of the murders
I had always wished that someone had rewritten it to be like napoleon from animal farm and his pack of dogs, where tigerstar still helps the dogs and they form a bond with him and listen to him so that they become a threat, the dogs start killing thunderclan cats yes but also involve the other clans too!! The dogs just attack cats on command not seeing a difference in the clan cats, just not tigerstar
It would have more weight to it and have tawnypaw running away to shadowclan feel more real, because who would want to be on the opposite side with the dogs? But then the other clans(maybe windclan only because of the four become two thing and riverclan is already with shadowclan) and windclan joins thunderclan to help them push the dogs into the gorge and helps push the two clans thing and push windclan to help join thunderclan
And then when tigerstar loses the dogs he brings in bloodclan, then scourge is like “tf the dogs” and thats why he didn’t help tigerstar out first and wanted to think about it prompting the whole gut rippin and then continue to the 6th book
Idk i just see a lot of aus with swift and bright living and it makes wish the dogs were more terrifying to make the aus hit harder
Oh that’s so fair. I think the dog pack sort of presents a difficult challenge for some writers: keeping the terror of the original while also trying to keep them from being too undefeatable. I do wish most of the villains in the series got higher kill counts tbh but the dog pack certainly should’ve been higher up.
I do like an AU where the dogs are with BloodClan, might give them more reason to take on the Clans if they’re killed a few of their pooches.
As for plot lines I want more from….like there’s a gazillion but the one that comes to mind right away is Stonefur’s death. It’s like the absolute extreme of how the Clan’s xenophobic half-clan blood purity lead to the execution of a cat and almost three others (two of which were children!). Yet, it’s so rarely utilized thematically and kept relevant in the stories. For fucks sake, A Starless Clan refuses to even acknowledge it in favor of the pointless “this is just like Tigerstar 1” comparisons (crazy how Leafstar, who wasn’t even there, remembers that and not how THEY EXECUTED CATS FOR BEING HALF-CLAN. WHILE INSISTING THEY STAY OUT OF EACH OTHERS BUSINESS- like Firestar “King of Snooping in Other Clan’s Business” would be disappointed.)
It’s barely relevant in Blackstar and Leopardstar’s story going past arc one- which. look Leopardstar should’ve been a villain. She approved the execution of her own deputy, she’s routinely antagonistic and there was zero reason not to lean into her being a villain.
But yeah, Stonepelt’s execution should’ve been more thematically relevant in a series that’s themes should’ve been about changing the status quo.
#deer rambles#that gathering scene pisses me off!!#you’re not even sending your mediator!! you aren’t offering help!!!#the fuck do you get off on lecturing tigerheartstar!!!

Dark Mirror au: lol man Mistystar looks like it was a heart attack, so fine but dude they fucked up with Reedwhisker...especially when Mothwing didn't even check her stores for catnip when Tigerheartstar's new kit got sick (Shadowclan came like 4-5 times asking she didn't look at least once) then when one of Skyclan's medicine cats are there to help Frostpaw with the Starclan part of her training, they find a HUGE store of Catnip in Riverclan medicine den, so Dovewing's and Tigerheartstar's Rowankit died because Mothwing just....didn't want to check her own den??? Idk. I feel Dark Mirror Primrose might be side eyeing Mothwing once that information came out, especially since it directly leads to Tigerheartstar to freaking out and thinking Riverclan is basically going to fall apart and become the Kin 2.0 (which doesn't absolve him of anything, what he's doing is wrong,) but side eyeing you Mothwing that's a huge stack of Catnip man, which directly leads to your clan being invaded. So.
Damn...tf is going on in the new books.
I don't think Dark Mirror Primrose particularly cares for any clan that's not Riverclan (and even then that's a bit iffy depending on the cat), buuut she might do something if Talonswipe specifically came from ShC to ask her for help with that whole situation.

I haven't posted in awhile, but I need to say..
What Mossysprout just found out about Snowbird/Scorchfur recently is absolutely morbid and disgusting. The fact that this was just found out is alarming.
We can't let this continue. We can't let Harper Collins and Working Partners keep getting away with this disgusting content.
For a basic summary, Scorchfur was an APPRENTICE around the time when he fathered Snowbird's first litter. This should never had made it into the book, typo or not. If you are writing a book for children, you can not keep doing this. As a victim of things like this, this is a final straw. I am going to be boycotting all new books, and I hope you will all do the same. (1) Mossy .° 🪐 on X: "Erm so someone tell me why tf snowbirds a queen when her mate, Scorchfur, was an apprentice at that time I'm trying to figure out who in Shadowclan dies in this MAP wtf is this https://t.co/XHqFxVeGce" / X (twitter.com) Mossy's post showing some proof of this, more is included in the comments. This has to end.
#warrior cats#ranting#go see Mossy's recent twitter post for more info#justiceforscorch#tw pedophila mention#i am so tired#please help spread the word

hi this is Not a request i just wanted to pop in and say Thank You for your rowanclaw posting bc i do genuinely love that guy and i’ve been focusing a lot on tawnyrowan in my fic but i have no critical thinking skills or braincells so i havent been able to dig into the Meat of his character yet
and you pointed out some stuff i hadn’t thought about!! i read avos recently but its been probably at least 5 years since i read anything else so memory?? no.
but i do love him <33 and i think sometimes about how the erins made him tawnypelt’s mate only bc they felt bad for misgendering him in the beginning and what would the world where that didn’t happen look like….hm but anyway
i will leave your inbox now sorry have a good day :)))
Hey there!! Thank-you so much for the kind words! I'm always keen to jot down my thoughts on Rowanclaw, because there's a lot of potential for both the past origins and the future/current actions of his character to be explored upon... neither of which the Erins ever really bother to look into because they're pretty clueless and careless with the cast of characters they already have. They're always keen to just chuck out characters that aren't main players so they can introduce new protagonists which, idk, its spoiled my enjoyment of the series to say the least. Because Rowanclaw definatley isn't the only example I can think of (hell even Tawnypelt kind of fits that discarded potential vibe.)
How exciting though! Good luck with getting your fic done, I'm happy for you to use some of my ramblings to help flesh out your portrayal of Rowanclaw if it helps! Have a RowanTawny blob as a good luck charm!
-- also secret Rowan + Tawny ramblings in the og tags if anyone is interested hee-hee
#wander-wren#cheez rambles#cheez answers#rowanclaw#rowanstar#tawnypelt#rowantawny#// even rowan + tawny have an interesting dynamic w how they both have this tortured yet determined personal relationship with Shadowclan#// and are both constantly trying to find a rocky footing to keep their pride pure when their clan has a murky past#// + their own relationships towards Shadowclan has this dark edge to it that they both cant quite shake#// I recall even Rowanclaw was VERY cruel and condescending to Tawnypelt early on when she was a recent warrior#// he didn't believe in her devotion to the clan because of her half blood and her closeness with Brambleclaw#// and you best believe im gonna interpret that as a mix of projecting his own insecurities on her/his resentment toward Tigerstar#// aka her father who did the exact same exploitative crap with his power like Brokenstar did#// but later on Rowan realising hey... why tf am i judging her for something she didn't do + we're more alike than i thought
