May I be enlightened more on this redux, I’m very intrigued 👀

thank you im glad you like it! theres a lot of changes.

—first off, darkstripe is very young in tpb, the same age as longtail, this is so he’s relatively young enough to live until po3 and have tigerheart. his baby daddy is brokenstar. dont think too hard about it

—brindleface is the tigerstar character instead of typical tigerspawn, thanks to @/goobiestar’s au! brindleface mothers brambleclaw, hawkfern, mothwing, ashfur and spiresight.

— leafpool and hawkfern have the three, renamed to hollyhawk, jaywing, and lionblaze as usual.

— whitewing is swifthound’s and Brightheart’s kit. cloudtail exists in this story, but is just a friend to them.

— brackenfur and thornclaw are merged into brackenthorns.

— shadowsight and frostcurl(paw in canon) are a thing. keep in mind frostpaw is aged back slightly to be born mid tbc, and is only about 2 years younger.

— darkstripe is willowdawn and stonefur’s kit.

— bristlefrost and shadowsight, alongside lightleap, are siblings

more thoughts on names

anyway. y'know. sometimes you do things and think about things a lot.

like, in wbcd, i have all non canon characters named by appearance, something i think only windclan and thunderclan does. (shadowclan and riverclan might be influenced by appearance, but not limited to it. in thunderclan and windclan, crow- will always be for a black cat. not so in the others.)

so like. snakekit is named for his stripes, and pumicekit for...it's actually a plant, i believe, with white flowers, not the stone. the appearances aren't always obvious: cottonkit could be a black kit because it's from a cottonwood tree, which has dark bark.

like okay at this point i have to skip ahead in wbcd canon, but blizzardkit is not a pure white cat. she's calico, with a lot of white, and a really pale coat. and that's because like. a blizzard could refer to the falling snow, which would let some colour through. or indigobird, who's brown, cream, and white, she's named because of western false indigo.

which yes this thing is odd to me because it doesn't match my own thoughts about what cats call things and how they name cats.

but at the same time, i use this to inform them. larchpaw is named larchfern, she is gentle, i decide. indigopaw is named indigobird, she is strong willed, i decide. maplebird is a strong jumper, dawnfish learned how to swim.

i don't know. it's just funny to me because wbcd exists in this weird state where it doesn't Quite work, because it can't work, i can't take the time to decide who each of these cats is.

but sometimes i name a cat thriftpetal or iciclesun or willowdawn and go — oh. i know you.
