Champions of the wind and sky

Scorpion- In life he did the most valorous thing he sacrificed his life so that Sebastain could flee the hedge. Because of his brave actions he became a champion of the wind and Sky

Benjamin- A fae who died trying to protect the 2nd victim of the beldam. However his sacrifice was not in vain as many years later his son who was in the form of a cat would help a young girl defeat the beldam once and for all. Even though Benjamin mostly secludes himself to the fae spirit realm he is still able to keep an eye on his child and he is happy to see the kindness that the jones family and the lovats have shown him.

George Henderson- George in life sacrificed himself that his sons, nephew, and grandchild would live on. He was killed when the Beldam destroyed the Cherry Blossom empire

Winston Thunderfeather- Winston died trying to protect the 1st victim of the beldam. However he never knew that someone would actually manage to kill the beldam

@mellowwolflady behold fae spirits of those who did something valorous in life

Purposes

The thing before him as though made of night, composed of a khiic lattice made of rainbow thunder. Through fear he fought to lift his greatax, but mundane ways fell through to psychic, and he saw through the grassplains to geometry. “The name is an illusion,” it said through his akashic self; it spoke through the sorceries upon his skin, the thunderfeathers which honored his neck. Within his meridians new doors opened, words warped into shape inside his body.

The hands he stole from them rose to a lightning cracked sky. “Renounce your delusion; take your place again as stone.”

Why do I always get interesting Lore bits on Clans that were only supposed to test things?

Take Coniferpaw, for example, she's a bloodthirsty cat who wanted to claw Rowanpaw's whiskers off when she was still a kit! Yet she just saved her from a big dog and even sustained a scar on her tail. Coniferpaw still wants to fight other apprentices but will also safe her Clanmates no matter who it is.

And Thunderfeather, a righteous apprentice who grew into a nervous warrior. It's definitely because of her mentor, Moonstar, who disliked her then and might not have kept that secret.

Greenleaf's name is just funny.

An Honest Apology

Many of you might be confused with this since this didn’t got popular or talked about; but it was for the better to not keep myself silent.

(disclaimer: I’m not an english speaker and I’m aware that this apology might be worded weirdly)

A few months ago; almost a year, I published here and my DA a drawing (and a pfp) of a Wendigo persona that I did for Halloween. It didn’t got much attention nor anyone saw something wrong with it, therefore, I couldn’t see the big time mistake that I just committed. You see, since I don’t live in the US I don’t really know much about their culture, much less Native American culture. Most of the info I have for myths and weird critters is through here, the internet. I tried to do some “research” of the Wendigo but it wasn’t enough, for the most part of my life I always believed that the  Wendigo was a funny haha cryptid, you know...like mothman. (oh boy I was so wrong..) Most of the references that I got from this creature was from google images so I thought “hey...If I try to depict this creature as accurately as I can, maybe I can do something cool with it..” but at the end of the day It was highly offensive. 

Months later, I realized that these drawings were pretty racist, since the Wendigo is a creature that Native Americans take VERY seriously, and I wasn’t aware of that fact at all, so I deleted them. I wasn’t sure if I needed to apologize since no one saw these drawings (nor I’m going to show them, In my opinion I think it’s for the better to forget about them) but as I said in the beggining, it’ll be worse if I didn’t say a thing about this.

I also want to add that I wanted to portray Wendigos as part of my passion project called Siblings of the Dawn (or ThunderFeathers for some old followers) before all of this happened. Since big part of the world building is about different myths and folklore coming to life. But I decided to not to. In exchange, I tried to make an original species that are inspired by Wendigos (at least the image rather than the myth itself) instead of adding actual Wendigos. (they are still a prototype and I would thank a lot if you could give me some feedback) They’re called Forest Spirits (or soul harvesters), they’re tiny anthro looking shadows with lion-like tails, some rigged clothing and wear skulls of different animals; their main task is to control the overpopulation of souls that aven’t found a body, some of them eat the bad souls, and others try to guide them to newborn bodies. I never made this public but I thought It was better to also put it in here.

I’m terribly sorry and I hope you can forgive me.

Also, quick note: PLEASE don’t try to defend me or comment “but you didn’t do anything wrong! this isn’t cultural appropiation!!” it’s really insensitive of you, MOSTLY if you’re not a Native American and don’t participate of this religion/culutre. This apology isn’t for you, it’s for the ones I hurt. Hope you can understand.
