Some background characters from my WarriorsAU OC comic! Pretty minor, but I love them all the same <3

The duo were traveling traders before coming to the valley where the Colonies reside. They will carry messages and deliver supplies (often foraged from the abandoned human nests). Quimby also has healer training, and the colonies' Healers will consult with him on occasion. Because both of them have more dexterity than a cat, the colonies will often make deals with them in exchange for favors (like Eaglerock’s amputation and Woolwhisker’s sled in exchange for living in the valley). Because Mitzee is nocturnal, and often flies over the majority of the valley, she will alert the colonies to things they may not have noticed yet, like intruders or natural phenomena.

Chapter 4

Willow walks along with a large group of the Twilightclan cats, and Slatepaw beside her was all jazzed up for the gathering, the sun was going down fast with a full moon soon taking it’s place, only a few clouds hid the light that shines brightly off of it. She didn’t try to look at the cats to her left side but she know they were looking at her, they were not happy when their leader announced that the loner was going to their sacred meeting. Lucky for Willow they respected Dawnstar’s decision to the point where they won’t attack her but not enough where they’re going to make her feel welcome. “Willow aren’t you exceeded?” Willow looks to the bright ginger tom, he’s face depicts some worry, “Ya, just nerves.” As she finished speaking she picked up a sense of a horrible, mixed smell of dirty water and rotten moss, there was a slit hint of grass but it didn’t help. Slatepaw notices her scrunched up face and through it was funny, “Looks like you just experienced the terrible smell of Breezeclan, there territory is part swamp and sadly that’s part we have to tolerate every gathering.” In the distance, she could see a pile of large rocks, “Those rocks are called Tall Stones, the leaders of the clans and pack stands on them to tell their news.”

“Why do they need to be so high up?” Slatepaw shrugged, “To make sure everyone can hear them,” Willow didn’t think that the answer, as they entered she noticed that there were cats already in the grassy clearing, which must have been Breezeclan, the cats looked scared for a moment while the Twilightclan cat came through, but they calmed down not long after. “What was that about? Why were they scared?” A voice came from behind, “They fear Twilightclan, something that all cats and dogs should be scared of. Especially loners and kittypets.” Willow turns to find a ginger tom with jet black stripes, he was big but no where near Eelfang’s size. “And it’s a good thing that your kittypet friend isn’t here, all these wild cats would have ripped her to shreds, hopefully you’ll be alright.” He deepen he voice to try to sound more threatening but ended up being scratchy that sounded painfully.

“Tigerscar!” She remembers that voice as Scarletfire, Willow realize that the bright red she-cat was to her side, “Stop trying to scare her or you can walk back to camp.” Tigerscar just gave a annoyed look with a little hiss, then walks away, she faces Willow with a friendly look, “Sorry about that Willow, Tigerscar alway tried too hard to scare cats new to the gathering.” Dawnstar walks over to them, “Come on Scarletfire, Whitestar and Mintleaf are waiting on us and I want to introduce them to my newest deputy to them.” They both left them behind, Willow moved towards the center with Slatepaw leading her, “So, when does this whole thing start?” He looks at her, “Well, first Sunpack still has to arrive, but besides that we begin when the moon is at its highest.”

“H-Hey.” Willow jumped in surprise, “I’m sorry! I-I didn’t mean to scare you.” She turns to meet a small, sleek, beautiful black she-cat with sliver paws, “My name is Sliverpaw, it’s my first time here and-” She looks away in nervousness and sits with rapped her tail around her paws. Slatepaw spoke up, “Hey its okay, I was shy at my first gathering too.” Something in Willow made her think that he was lying, Slatepaw and being shy didn’t really go together. “It’s Willow’s first time here also.” Sliverpaw looks confused, “Willow? Not Willowpaw”

“Its a long story, Dawnstar will probably say something about it.” Slatepaw announced, Willow didn’t like being talked about like she wasn’t here but for some reason she couldn’t find her voice, all the cats around made her speechless. She then notices movement on the far side of the gathering place, they were dogs, they must be Sunpack she keeps hearing about. One of the younger dogs in the group walks towards them, he was a large light gray male with a white underbelly and paws. “Slatepaw? You’re finally back.” He said coming closer to the small group. “Lupus! Awesome to see you again!” Lupus set his dark green eyes on the two she-cats, “Who are you two? Slatepaw’s mates?” He jokingly stated, Slatepaw widened his eyes and folded his ears in embarrassment. “No! Their not!” He used his tail to tip Sliverpaw’s shoulder, “This is Sliverpaw, She’s from Breezeclan.” He looks to Willow, “ And this is Willow, a guest of Twilightclan.” Lupus confuse come on the moment the word guest popped out of Slatepaw’s mouth. “Guest? What do you mean?” Slatepaw was ready to speak once more before he was interrupted be the calling of the leaders for the crowd’s attention. “All cats and dogs, Listen as the gathering begin.” Willow turned to Tall Stones to see a long haired tom with fur so pure white he would have stood out even in the darkest of nights. As the crowd turned their attention to the three leaders, he uses he’s tail to signal Dawnstar to gave her news, “Thank you, Whitestar.” She nods her thanks to him while he goes to his place on the boulder as she move to the edge of the large stones, “I would like to start off this gathering with introducing my clan’s new deputy, Scarletfire.” She announced with a hinted purr in her voice, “But this also means that my last deputy, Nightfall, died from infection of some rat bites, are medicine cats did their best but Starclan has a new member in their forest. But Scarletfire already showed that she is a great replacement. We also have a new warrior, Gingerleaf.” As she finished her words the crowd cheers for the she-cat’s new positions, mostly from Twilightclan cats. “Twilightclan also brought in two cats into are clan as guest, one of them is even in the crowd.” Willow noticed same eyes fall on her, some in anger and other’s in confusion, both made her want to run and hide. Sunpack’s leader faced Dawnstar, “What were you thanking! Bring a outsider to the gathering!” He asked in anger, Whitestar faced her way, “Are they going to join your clan?”

“They can but I’m not forcing them to, and giving them time for one of them to recover.” Dawnstar looked to Willow like she just made her a offer, Willow just nods to her in understanding. Dawnstar just goes to the other leaders, Willow last heard the dark tabby leader pasting the gathering ears to the pack’s alpha until she felt a warm gaze set on her, she looked around to see where it’s coming from but for once no one was looking at her, which made her happy but weirded out for she knew some one or something was staring at her. She then looked at single branch with something large on it, to big to be anything that could lives in it, but as she tried to focus on it, it ran off clearly wanting to be seen by her. She looked to Slatepaw, he was wide eyes to the leaders like a kit with a new story and realize this is twice she compared him with one. “Hey Slatepaw, did you see what was in that tree?” She whispered, “Willow I’m trying to listen.” He whispered in annoyance, she should have seen that coming, not able to do anything for the time being just listen to the rest of the gathering, she then realized that she missed the alpha’s pack news and Whitestar started with his. “I would like to announce that Breezeclan is finally fully recovered, thanks to the help of Twilightclan and Sunpack. We also have two new warriors, Mousefang and Woolwhisker, and made Sliverpaw and Firepaw are newest apprentices.” He gives a friendly nod to the leaders and they nod back with the large group cheering. “Now I realized it took longer then I thought to get back on are feet but I guess Thornstar and his gang took a lot more out of Breezeclan then me or Mintleaf could imagine.” At the mention of the name Thornstar the crowd want silent, Willow was confused by this. As she looked around the cats and even the dogs were wearing a expression sadness, fear or a mixture of both. What was making them so scared? Thornstar? His gang? Dawnstar stood to face him with anger in her green eyes and her voice struggling to remain calm, “Whitestar, you know we all agreed that we would never mention that cat ever again.” Whitestar flatten he’s ear, while the alpha stepped towards her, “Dawnstar, calm down, you’re just mad that it was your clan that helped them, it’s just good thing you had me and my dogs.” He was a Twilightclan cat? He must have been here recently because Sliverpaw, a newly apprenticed kit looked terrified out of her mind, something no elder’s tale can bring out. Was he the thing that made Willow’s mother leave the clan? The Twilightclan cats hiss out in anger, even joined by some of Breezeclan but all of Sunpack stayed quiet, even Lupus. “Alpha! For the last time me and my clan had to do or it would have gone against the code we’re just luckily that part of the code is gone now.” Alpha just rolled his eyes, “There you cats go again with that silly warrior’s code, don’t you realize because of that code it gave us that murder in the first place.” The hisses just grow louder, there were some call outs of the crowded but mostly from Twilightclan, “No, it was Wavestar who made him deputy!” She saw the voice coming from one of the clan’s elders. “Ya! It isn’t are fault! We were just as stuck as anyone else!” She know that she-cat’s hiss anywhere, Ambercloud, one of the cats who were vocal about Willow’s apparent at the gathering. “Enough!” Whitestar called out in anger, “The important thing is it’s over and Breezeclan is back to full strength!” He looks to the leaders, “And let me make this clear to everyone, we’re not going to be afraid to show it!” As he jumped down from Tall Stones, Breezeclan meowed in support of the their leader’s statement. “Breezeclan! Let’s head home, this gathering is over.” Sliverpaw gives her good-byes and heads back to her clan, as Lupus did the same. But Willow just stared at the same tree top that she spotted the large creature in, Slatepaw trotted to her, “Come on Willow, the clan is starting to group up and leave.” Willow couldn’t leave until she fines out what that was, “Slatepaw, I’ll catch up with you guy’s later, I’m going to see what that tree creature was.” He just a face of worry, “But what if you got lost or attacked by something horrible!” Willow just rolled her eyes and started to walk away, “I’ll see you later.” Not a moment later the white spotted tom ran in front of her, “Slatepaw!”

“What? I can’t let you go alone.” He stated proudly.

Willow and Slatepaw walked through woods just outside Twilightclan territory, clouds started to roll in and the smell of rain in the air, she wondered if this tiny trip was a mouse-brained idea, her paws were starting to hurt and she could bet Slatepaw felt the same way. She also wondering if her imagination just acting up, then Slatepaw jumped up and landed in a attack position with he's fur standing on end, he quickly looks behind him. “Slatepaw!? What wrong?” Willow asked with a nerves voice, “I-I don’t know! Something or someone tapped me on the tip of my tail, like if a kit was playing with it! A big kit.”

“Maybe you brushed it against a low hanging branch or vines.” Slatepaw just shakes his head, his amber eyes were fearful. Willow then felt something tap on her tail tip, which made her jump and pulled her tail close to her. “You too?” He asked, she nods. “Hey! Who’s out there!” The bright tom shouted, “ Come out!” Willow didn’t want the thing messing with them to show it’s self. “Slatepaw we should go, now.”

“Wait, wait. I’m coming out.” Willow and Slatepaw heard a tom’s voice and look the direction it came from, a white tom suddenly appeared out of no where from in front a boulder, Willow was shocked by the tom. Slatepaw moved in front of her, but she quickly moved to his right side, “Hello, I’m the Shadow Warrior, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Slatepaw gave him a wide eye stare and mouth open, “No way. the Shadow Warrior!” She looks at him, “You know this cat?” He nods his head in excitement, “The elder’s tell his stores all the time!” He mewed in happiness, the white tom moved to them Willow walked back from him while her friend just keep staring at him. “Don’t worry Willow, I’m not here to hurt you.” He said a calm tone. “Ho-how do you know my name?” She shakily asked, he sits down and rapped his tail around his paws, “Starclan has sent me to find you, it’s a good thing you saw me on the tree top.”

“Great, what does Starclan want me?” Willow was already going to join the clan, what else did they want? He gives her a smile, “They want me to mentor you.”

OC time! This is Woolwhisker, who gets paralyzed while trying to save his friend from a hawk. I took inspiration from a lot of different Briarlight headcanons, but one of the most direct inspirations was from @cryptidclaw and their cool idea for a mobility aid.

He doesn't need to use the sled all of the time, as he is strong enough to get around without it, but it is nice to have to protect his underside from scrapes and injuries he might not feel. He is also getting a bit older, so he appreciates an easier way to stay independent.

More Warriors OC art- Eclipseheart with his apprentice Woolpaw.

Woolpaw was a warrior apprentice, but when Eclipseheart and Solemnstorm were banished from RiverClan, it left the clan with no medicine cat. Woolpaw began sneaking out to ThunderClan, where the brothers were taking refuge, and getting lessons from Eclipseheart. When they came back, Woolpaw asked to become his apprentice officially.
