Again, rereading Yellowfang's secret had me thinking about these two as well. Frostfur's trust in Yellowfang after she rescued her kits was the catalyst in turning the clan in her favor and allowing her to finally get some well earned rest in her new home. I like them shipped or platonic or poly with Bluestar. Basically I just wanna read about them interacting. I'm so hungry. Please.

Starclan's grand and unknowable design... if they even have one.

Rereading Yellowfang's secret made me have these two on my mind.

Runningnose comforting Nightstar after he is rejected as Shadowclan's leader by Starclan. Also they kiss sometimes.

This is intended to be my catch all xenofiction blog now. Although I'm sure the majority of posts will still be warriors designs.

So have a Hyzenthlay from a while back. I do intend to design the characters from other xenofiction books as I read them in between the warriors stuff! I'll redesign her when I give Watership Down a reread.

I'll probably update my splashtail to make his eyes greener, but I like the rest of the design just fine.

[cinderheartss]

Oh I forgot to post this here! I did the 'gray cats with blue eyes' challenge my buddy marblesnout kicked off on twitter! I drew the four they suggested plus four I chose from my designs!

Harelight! He’s a great dude, but he already knows he’s not a candidate for leader, imagine if there were TWO Harestars? Untenable. 

A drawing of Harelight. He is a medium haired white and light cream tom. He is mostly white with a gram tail and a cream chest tuft that swoops up and out like an upturned coat collar.  His build is slim, but front legs are muscular. He has tall ears, a narrow muzzle, upward swooping cheek fur, and a scruffy chin. He has narrow, angular yellow eyes.

Icewing. As of now (Thunder being the newest book) I want her to be leader so bad... but I don’t think that’ll happen. I made my Icewing blind, or at least losing her sight from cataracts. Mostly as an aesthetic design choice, but I do think it would be really cool if a cat who went blind, especially gradually, continued their duties without everyone making a huge deal out of it. She’s not elder age yet, but she is one of the more senior members remaining in Riverclan. 

A drawing of Icewing. She is a long furred light gray molly with a white diamond shaped mask, white diamond shaped chest fur, white paws, and a white tipped tail. Her tail is broken in the middle, she holds it upright but the end hangs down and makes a wing like shape. She has long sweeping tufts of fur on her elbows and rump. She has some scars on her front left wrist, across her muzzle, and one over her left eye. Half of her left ear is missing. She has a flat, angular head, a long narrow muzzle, and cheek tufts that sweep upward. She has angular ice blue eyes, the pupils obscured by cataracts.

Owlnose. Or as he was known for about 5 minutes, Owlstar. What a funny little anxious guy. I love him. I based his design on a barn owl. 

A drawing of Owlnose. He is a chubby medium furred light brown tabby tom. Most of his face, his unders, and his legs are white. He has a white tipped tail with some speckles of dark brown. He has one dark brown toe on his right back foot. He has some dark brown speckles arcoss his muzzle as well as worried, triangular, dark brown eyebrows. He has huge, round, dark brown eyes, a liver colored nose, and small ears.

Splashtail. OOOH this sneaky little freak! I wanted to make him look super open and friendly! You’d never suspect this guy of anything, would you? 

A drawing of Splashtail. He is a spikey light brown medium haired tabby tom with a white underbelly, white paws, a few white patches on his huge, fluffy tail, and a white stripe from his muzzle up his face and over the back of his head, connecting with the white on his neck. He has wide, friendly bright blue eyes and an open sympathetic expression. He has a scruffy chin and tall pointed ears.

Sunbeam 2.0 I was pretty displeased with my first Sunbeam design and I like this one much better! Still not sure if this is exactly how I picture her, but it’s close! 

A drawing of Sunbeam. She is a medium furred brown tabby molly with a white underbelly, white front paws, white tail tip, and white under her nose and on her chin. She has sun shaped markings on her shoulders. She has a broad muzzle and a dark pink nose. Her eyes are wide and almond shaped. Her right eye is yellow and has dark brown lashes. She has one ginger patch that covers her left eye, which is pale green and has white lashes, it looks like she’s being lit up by a beam of sunlight. Her eyebrows are slightly upturned and worried looking even when she’s relaxed.

Here’s a little peek at something else I’ve been working on! An AU of my main OC in the warriors universe! Thats my RP blog BTW if you want to check my silly necromancer God of Decay out! the blog is 18+ tho! be warned! 

Been working on a Vell Warrior Cats AU! Have some of the characters I’ve designed so far! Some are AU characters from his canon and some are fillers!

Brittlebush: Tall, Selfless, Insecure. Warrior of Ridgeclan, mate of Prairiemist, father of Strawpelt and Quillfreckle. Short brown and white fur with pale blue eyes with one stripe down their back.  Brittlebush is a filler character who serves as the father of two characters who exist in Vell’s canon story. He’s very worried about how his son’s mentor treated him and his worst fears are realized when his son goes missing soon after his warrior ceremony. He’s not incredibly relevant for long, but he’s a positive adult figure in Pantherstep (who is cat Vell)’s childhood, which he didn’t have much of since his mentor isolates him. When an elderly Brittlebush is found dead by the Valleyclan border after hunting alone, Pantherstep blames Valleyclan tensions rise to new levels.

Chipmunkstripe:  Large, Tolerant, Excitable. Warrior of Ridgeclan, mate unknown, mother of Honeyclaw (C’heil, Vell’s wife), sister of Ringtail, daughter of Flashthroat. Long ruddy tabby fur and saffron eyes. she decorates her fur with marigold.

Chipmunkstripe is a filler character to be a stand in as Honeyclaw’s mother! She’s large excitable lady who can hit like a truck and never seems to tire on the battlefield. It’s clear her daughter takes strongly after her and the two are close. She always speaks her mind even if it means she often speaks out of turn. Despite frequent disagreements Elkstar respects her opinion and considers her one of his most trusted advisors. She’s welcoming of Pantherstep as an apprentice but she notices how his attitude shifts after the death of his mentor and she worries about how much time her daughter spends with him. 

Coldbreeze: Cold, Sadistic, Brooding. Healer of Ridgeclan, brother of Moonshadow, murdered by Pantherstep. Short haired Tuxedo tom with yellow eyes.

Coldbreeze is an AU of Vell’s mentor and abuser, Sharso. In this story medicine cats are just called healers. He finds Pantherkit, who’d fled from Valleyclan to avoid being forced to become a warrior apprentice during a time of war and famine. Coldbreeze offers to take him in as a healer apprentice and teach him about herbs, spirits, and magic. He is incredibly cruel and abusive to his apprentice and he and his brother Moonshadow often torment their apprentices Pantherpaw and Quillpaw together. Not long after his part in the murder of newly named Quillfreckle, his apprentice, who’s now full grown and no longer weak, sickly, and easy to push around turns on him and kills him while they’re out alone gathering herbs. 

Elkstar:  Bony, Scholarly, Kindhearted. Leader of Ridgeclan since before the story begins, very old, no known family. Long gray tabby fur and dark green eyes.

Elkstar is a filler character, as the political leader canon to Vell’s story is quite close to his own age so i needed a predecessor. Elkstar is tired of the constant hostility and war between Valleyclan and Ridgeclan, it’s been going on for most of his life, but he remembers a time when the 3 clans lived in peace before Sandclan dissolved and the clans stopped gathering every full moon. Despite his longing for peace, he doesn’t let Valleyclan aggression go unchecked and will fight for every bit of territory, in this arid climate they don’t have any prey to spare, although he knows Valleyclan is suffering, Ridgeclan is only marginally better off. 

Fennelnose: Tall, peaceful, and clumsy. Warrior of Ridgeclan,  nonbinary, child of Yuccaheart, sibling of Bisonfoot and Paintedwing, mate of Strawpelt, parent of Salmonberry, Fossildust, and Lambfrost, apprentice of Chipmunkstripe. Long, caramel shaded fur and marbled (brown and olive) eyes.

Fennelnose is a filler character and becomes the main support system for Strawpelt after she loses her brother Quillfreckle and her close friendship with Pantherstep soon afterwards. She’s confided her suspicions to him and he doesn’t want to invalidate her feelings but he just can’t believe Pantherstep could kill anyone, could he? If everything Strawpelt told him was true, then… maybe Pantherstep had to kill Coldbreeze and Moonshadow in self defense! Whatever happened it’s not his business, and if Strawpelt wants to keep it a secret then so will he.  

Moonshadow:  Muscular, Sadistic, Short-Tempered. Warrior of Ridgeclan  brother of Coldbreeze, murdered by Pantherstep. A black short hair tabby tom with dark brown eyes.

Moonshadow is an AU of Mamoon, one of the other necromancers in the coven Vell spent his adolescence in. Moonshadow is the mentor of Quillpaw and is incredibly harsh and cruel with him, soon after his apprentice was made a warrior he became enraged at a perceived disrespect and grievously wounded him in front of his sister Strawpelt. They rushed Quillfreckle to Coldbreeze and Moonshadow demanded he heal him, Coldbreeze determined he was too far gone and killed Quillfreckle. The brothers used this as an opportunity to show Pantherpaw and Strawpelt how to raise a zombie and forced them to reanimate Quillfreckle’s soulless husk. Pantherstep later pushes him off the border cliff to his death on the rocks below.  

Prairiemist:  Short, Dreamy, Overworked. Mate of Brittlebush, mother of Strawpelt and Quillfreckle. Long silver tabby and white fur with blue eyes and a broken jaw, decorates her pelt with twigs.

Prairiemist is a filler character, she’s a stand in for a mother for two canon characters. She’s incredibly kindhearted and generous, but she’s often a little out of touch with those around her, often lost in her own thoughts or her work. She didn’t notice the same worrying signs as her mate did in the behavior of their children. She would have never imagined cats she grew up with and saw on a daily basis were capable of such cruelty, especially not towards her family! She never learns what really happened to her son until she joins Starclan. Her attitude as a spirit has shifted drastically, she’s angry and vengeful and bitter and wants to do all she can to protect her family from beyond the grave. She’s one of Pantherstep’s supporters in Starclan. 

Ringtail:  Slender, Charismatic, Obsessive. Youngish deputy of Ridgeclan when the story begins, killed in a battle with Valleyclan, replaced by Wolfmane. He is the brother of Chipmunkstripe, and son of Flashthroat. Short cinnamon colored tabby fur with crossed, light green eyes.

Ringtail is a filler character and is Chipmunkstripe’s much more charming, but just as energetic brother. They had a friendly competitive nature growing up and always push each other to be better.  He was chosen as deputy over her when the previous deputy retired because of his diplomatic edge. Chipmunkstripe isn’t jealous, only proud of her brother, and makes her opinions on clan matters known anyway even without the deputy status. They work together on a lot of Ringtail’s duties and she keeps him on track when his obsessive nature side tracks him into only focusing on one issue at a time. Elkstar trusts both of them as his most loyal and dependable warriors. He mentors Strawpaw and while they get along, he’s rather distracted from her training with his other duties, and she never confides in him about the abuse she and her fellow apprentices are suffering at the paws of Moonshadow and Coldbreeze.

Scorchsand: elegant, athletic, and boisterous. Warrior of Ridgeclan, Mate of Tarantulaslip, Mother of Katydidwhisker, Daughter of Toadsplash.  Short pale ginger and white fur with dark amber eyes. 

Scorchsand is a filler character. She has resting bitch face to the extreme and most who don’t know her well find her intimidating and cold, but anyone who spends enough time with her knows she loves getting up to harmless mischief and she has a laugh loud enough to rattle dry branches of the warriors den. She and her mate are the youngest of their generation and don’t really have anyone else their age. Lucky for them, they’ve been inseparable since kithood. Both of them have outsider roots, Scorchsand being half loner, and Tarantulaslip being found abandoned on Ridgeclan territory at 2 moons old. 

Fenhaze: Graceful, gentle, curious. Nonbinary, parentage unknown, Warrior of Valleyclan, Mate of Woodspiral, Mother of Darnerwing and Orioledance, apprentice of Russetstripe. Long white fur speckled with grey, light blue eyes. 

Fenhaze is a filler character, originally designed as a hypothetical child of the canon warrior cats characters Brambleberry and Echomist from Crookedstar’s Prophecy. I just loved them too much to not add them into one of my warriors stories. Fenhaze joined Valleyclan at a young age and had a rough apprenticeship under Russetstripe (Vell’s brother). He saw their gentle nature as weakness and did his best to toughen them up. They’re a skilled warrior, but they never adopted their mentor’s violent outlook on life and avoids him in adulthood, although they do respect him. 

Stoneflower:  Tall, melancholy, and wistful. Warrior of Valleyclan, Mate of Bearwhisker/star, Mother of Pantherstep and Russetstripe.  Long dark desaturated brown tabby fur, light blue eyes. 

Stoneflower is an AU of Vell’s mother Iris Demour. She is sad and distant as a mother and while she loves her children, she isn’t very good at showing it, or being a parent in general. She never wanted kits, but her mate Bearwhisker convinced her. She does her best to protect her sickly son Pantherkit from his brother’s bullying and reassure him that his father still loves him, but secretly she’s glad when he runs away to join Ridgeclan soon after she gains her first apprentice and isn’t as available to be there for him. She dies only 2 months after Pantherstep dies, and witnesses his rise to power within Starclan. She submits to his wishes without opposition, but is clearly disappointed in the path her son has gone down, and blames herself for not being a better mother. Clearly going to Ridgeclan did not save him from the suffering she feared he’d endure in Valleyclan.

Frostpaw! Heavily inspired by @/bramblefake’s design for her! Which I gasped when I first saw it because it’s almost exactly how I pictured her! Including having a little leaf on her head like a hat, diamond shaped mask, and “pants” markings? Exquisite design, please check bramblefake’s art out! Frostpaw is my angel baby. 

A drawing of Frostpaw, she is a long haired molly with a creamy white fur, her back half is silver tabby, she also has silver tabby forelegs and a silver tabby mask marking. Her paws are white. She has slightly curled dark grey ears with white eyespots on the back. She has several small tan markings across her body, the bridge of her nose, a heart shaped patch on her chest, her eyelashes, and a stripe on her tail are all tan. She has large, round, strikingly aqua eyes. She wears a heart shaped leaf on her head, and a small curled feather woven into her tail.

Nightheart. He’s the ultimate little shit and he takes everything the worst possible way, but also his clanmates ARE mean to him so like, I get it man, we were all angsty teens once, and we all had valid reasons but that didn’t make us any less insufferable. He does a lot of maturing in Shadow, I’m excited to see where his character will go from here! 

A drawing of Nightheart, he is a medium haired black tom, his underbelly is “rusted” from the sun, causing it to be a ruddy brown color. He has tufted ears and a tuft of jet black fur on top of his head, giving him some edgy little emo bangs, He has a black nose, a narrow muzzle, and angular orange eyes with heavy dark outlines and lashes.

A drawing of Reedwhisker, he is a short haired dark grey tom, darker on the dorsal side and paw, he greying around his muzzle, along his jaw, his chest, and his underbelly. He has scars across his shoulders and one on his left cheek. His inner ear and nose are dark in color, and he has narrow light grey eyes.
