maybe its just cause i stopped reading during avos but im so tempted to just nuke most of the post oots background characters and just do my own nextgen style au

#most of the important cats like alder and spark will remain and some nextgen kids will take up important spots #but im sorry. i dont give a fuck about blossomfalls kids #everytime i get to that generation when i start conceptualizing family trees my eyes go into my head #and like i also wanna make the dark forest battle more devastating and change the victims #bramblestar will lose a few lives here i know that #ferncloud and sorreltail are living out of spite on my end lmao. killing their husbands instead #the greencough deaths are getting moved here cause like. wow what a gutless decision #im thinkingggg icecloud and hazeltail have their kit but icecloud dies here #hazeltail lives til avos #graystripe dies here instead of tbc. dustpelt too. actually might nix sandstorm too so all of the og apprentice group is gone #kinda marking oots as the true end of an era #lets see who else. spiderleg since he got a boring death anyways. biiiirchfall? cinderheart is presumed dead but she goes missing #hollyleaf has been dead all along really but shes confirmed dead in this book #now that i think about it this doesnt change a ton of the new family tree but like.... ok i still wanna overhaul it sdklfjksldfdsf #yuriverse

I thought I had queued the ask for Sorreltail or Lilyheart I recieved from @morningmask27 for the warrior cats opinion bingo, my apologies! It was half-finished and I accidently posted it early 😅

Why choose between them?

Sorreltail:

I like her a lot :) I always enjoy seeing Sorreltail do stuff, she has such a cheerful and bouncy energy to her character that makes her fun to see in action. I think her death was incredibly sad and speaks to her character of how loving of a mother and person she was. I wish we had gotten to see more of her relationship with her mentor, Sandstorm, and Sorreltail's injury as an apprentice. Something I wish was explored with Sorreltail was her feelings towards her best friend, Leafpool, freezing up and not attempting any aid to Honeyfern as Honeyfern died. Does any part of Sorreltail blame Leafpool for not putting in any effort to help her suffering daughter? Did this affect their friendship? Here is the scene I am talking about from chapter 17 of Sunrise:

Lilyheart:

I love her so so much <3

She is just so sweet and loving, I adore Lilyheart and will root for all the best things for her. When I first read Bramblestar's Storm, her warrior ceremony resonated with me as being very meaningful and inspiring. I think it's my favorite warrior ceremony they've ever written. What we did see of Lilyheart in AVOS, she was a good mother to Twigbranch, and I hope ASC continues to have her interact with her grandson, Nightheart, and play a supportive role in his life.

I strongly dislike that she was retconned into being a dark grey-and-white tabby for no reason? Lilyheart has always been a calico in my mind and I liked that her original design was a mini-me of her mother, Sorreltail.

Star Tigerclaw

Design Notes:

Here he is!!! Tigerclaw based on a white tiger!!! love this design so much ??? omggg

he has his mother Snowstorm's blue colorpoint gene , but he has dark black stripes like his dad Thistleclaw!

Character Bio:

Star Tigerclaw

Straight; Cis Tom; he/him

Age as of 1st arc's beginning: 4 cycles, 4 moons; ~33 Hyrs

Title meaning: -claw =  a cat who is very skilled in battle; they fight ferociously with their claws; may have distinctive claws, most likely extra large or sharp.

Warrior -> Guard Charge -> Second of Thunder Order; he was in line due to being Star Bluefrost's nephew. He was banished for murder and an attempted takeover of the Order.

Leader of Shadow Order; was in no way in line for Shadow leadership, he convinced the Order that he would be their best choice for leadership, as he came from a long line of powerful leaders and he would keep the Order strong after their many recent losses.

Second: Vulturemask; was in line and should have been leader due to being the previous Shadow Leader (Star Brokentail)'s Second and mate.

Mentor: Star Sunfall

Mother: Snowstorm

Father: Thistleclaw

Siblings: Sky; Shine; Shimmer; Lynxstorm

Ex-Mates: Goldenflower; Star Leopardpelt (Political marriage, ended when Tiger died)

Kits: Swift; Brambleflower; Star Tawnyclaw; Mothwing; Tadpolefrog; Star Hawkfrost

Grandkits: Falconclaw; Jaywing; Dove; Dawnpelt; Goldenheart; Flamespirit; Dovesong; Ivythorn; Junipersnow; Dandeliondust

Other notable kin: Star Pineheart (grandfather); Leopardfoot (Grandmother); Sootfur (nephew); Sorreltail (niece); Rainwhisker (nephew)

Character notes: Tigerclaw actually did truly love Goldenflower, and he was actually a pretty good mate and father before this betrayal was revealed. Golden cat divorced him during his banishment and Tiger chose to become mates with Star Leopardpelt soon after as a political marriage, this relationship was loveless and only for political gain and a continuation of their bloodline through their kits.

Character Backstory:

Tigerclaw and Lynxstorm were Thistleclaw and Snowstorm's second litter, their first was one of three kits which all tragically passed due to a premature birth (their names, Sky, Shine and Shimmer were given in reference to the Stars, as they joined them almost as soon as they were born).

Thistleclaw took great interest in Tigerclaw, as he was the strongest, and most alike him out of the pair of brothers. Due to this Tiger was greatly influenced by Thistle, with his father trying to pass on as much of his ideals and attitude as possible. The tom often gave Tiger extra training sessions in the dark forest, or during the night, sometimes White would be included as well though he never went to the Dark Forest (Thistle knew that White would tell on them).

Snowstorm died early on into her sons' apprenticeships and as a result Thistle became even more rash and cruel which only increased the extreme extra training Thistle put Tiger, and sometimes Lynx under. Thistleclaw's cruelty and actions made his sons hate him (they had also noticed how cruel he could be to their mother before her death as well, and hated him even more for it), White stayed away from his father all together, however Tiger wanted to continue training with him to increase his power and skill.

Despite hating his father and denying that he would ever become a cat like him, Tiger took on much of Thistle's teachings, the tom is adamantly anti-outsider and codebreaking and is very bloodthirsty just like his father. Though maybe Tigerclaw never fully believed the anti mixed blood, outsider and adamant code following ideals, maybe deep down he just liked them because it gave him power over other cats, and a seemingly "devout" and "loyal" exterior.

The first cat Tiger ever killed was Thistleclaw, after Thistle's grooming of Spotted was revealed Tiger joined Bluefrost, Lynxstorm and Redtail in assassinating Thistleclaw. Tiger hated his father and despite him agreeing with many of his views, he was horrified by his actions towards Spotted. He had other motives as well, Thistle was a high ranking warrior who used his power to control Tiger for his own gain, Tiger did not want to be anyone's pawn, he wanted the power for himself. After killing his father Tiger realized how much he liked the power in killing a cat, which wasn't all to surprising, but it was all the more reason he was so willing to kill later in his life.

Despite being an obviously bloodthirsty and increasingly cruel cat, Bluefrost refused to believe that her nephew was anything like his father. She desperately wanted to trust her sister's kits, and Tigerclaw was apprenticed to Blue's pseudo father Star Sunfall who Blue was certain would counteract any of Thistle's impact on Tiger. Of course Blue didn't know about Tiger's extra training, nor did she know about his secret lust for power.

[brackenfur]

i really do wish that like. ok when i think about brambleclaw and ashfur, in firestars quest they seem like good friends and get along well, and then we all know what happens in the book series(s) beyond that, but i really would want to give their dynamic more like. impact, and i’ve talked abt it here and there before, but:

i imagine that when bramblepaw first became an apprentice, ashpaw really liked him and treated him like a younger brother, almost. he saw how bramblepaw was kinda shy and he took him under his wing - he would teach him how to leap after leaves, he’d taught him crouches, talk to him about training, that sort of thing. and bramblepaw really looked up to ashpaw bc most of the clan treats him and tawnypaw rly differently, except for ashpaw and fernpaw and a few others. but bramblepaw rly likes that he has a close friend in the clan

and then brindleface is killed. and bramblepaw sees how sad fernpaw and ashpaw are at her vigil, so he comes up to say how sorry he is - he just lost his older brother, swiftpaw, too. and if ashpaw needed to talk, he’d always be there - but when ashpaw looks up at him, he looks….angry. he doesn’t say anything, so bramblepaw leaves because he thinks ashpaw is grieving and needs space, but form then on out, ashpaw won’t even speak to him. and after tawnypaw leaves to shadowclan, bramblepaw feels more alone than ever - he has other friends, but ashpaw was his first real friend, and now ashpaw wont even look at him. and bramblepaw tells firestar about it, saying that maybe it’s because he’s grieving for brindleface, but……..deep down bramblepaw knows why ashpaw is angry at him, he just doesn’t want it to be true.

and after tigerstar is killed, bramblepaw doesn’t really know how to feel since he hates his father, but to see him die like that…….. but he sees the weird, almost smug way ashpaw keeps looking at him and he almost wants to ask him why, what his problem even is, but he thinks about brindleface and decides he doesn’t want to know the answer.

and then after the battle with bloodclan when they kill bone together , he thinks maybe it’ll change - maybe ashpaw will like him again - but outside of some curt words and greetings, they aren’t friends anymore. bramblepaw wants to respect his decision, even if it hurts really bad that he lost his first friend bc of something tigerstar did, but he just wants to focus on becoming a warrior now.

and for a year that’s what he does - sometimes a cat like sorreltail or thornclaw will be like “hey, didn’t you guys used to be friends?” to which brambleclaw doesn’t know what to say - but he’s determined to prove ashfur and everyone else wrong.

and then he meets hawkfrost and starts training in the dark forest and for the first time in years, ashfur really starts to pay attention again. because he stopped trusting brambleclaw after brindleface died - ashfur knows that’s cruel, to blame him for something tigerstar did, but his heart can’t take anymore betrayals and deaths, and he sees it as a measure to protect himself and thunderclan - but when he sees hawkfrost he thinks, oh, i was right. and not only was i right - but squirrelflight is becoming closer to brambleclaw and she doesn’t even know about my mother, how she died. how brambleclaws father killed her to feed to a pack of dogs.

so he starts talking to squirrelflight and hanging out with her, and they get close, but when she goes back to hanging out with brambleclaw, he can’t cope. brambleclaws father took away ashfurs mother, everyone in thunderclan adores brambleclaw again, AND he was made deputy, AND squirrelflight thinks ashfur is this overbearing creep and he’s like, oh hell no.

and THAT to me feels more interesting than in canon but!!!!!!! that’s just me

You've probably mentioned this before and I just haven't seen it cus I'm a new follower but what is Darkstripe's Land Marr ((think that's what they are called))

I had not mentioned it yet! I'm between two choices, depending.

Choice 1: Blackshade Grove

There were a lot of Worst Moments in his life, but the most shameful was poisoning Sorrelkit. He gave her nightshade, and told her it was blackberry. They're both purple berries, and the eager little kitten always had an interest in cooking.

(This is how Sorreltail got her epilepsy. Nightshade causes brain damage; yew causes heart failure.)

So in this grove, you have to be paying very close attention to the bushes to tell what you're looking at. The strange, clustered nightshades are impossible to discern from blackberry.

Darkstripe takes it on himself to be the test subject, over and over and over. At first it was just the Dark Forest's sick taunt, that he could either get fresh blackberries or "die" a painful death. Once he has friends to feed, it becomes a frustrating obstacle he's determined to doggedly power through.

So eventually the bushes are "marked," safe or unsafe, depending on if they poisoned someone or not.

Choice 2: Bonehill

What's worse than poisoning a lil baby? Poisoning a lil baby for a man who will ALWAYS see you as absolutely fucking pathetic. Throwing away your Clan, your family, your entire life's passion and talents for an idea that would never include you.

So for this idea, the Land Mar is basically this arena-version of the TigerClan camp. There's a nightmarish version of Stonefur who will thrash you for getting too close. There are blackberry bushes that sprout from between the bones of the hill, guarded by "Bonefur" as if he's some kind of dragon.

(Note: this "Dummy" version of Stonefur is not Stone himself. Though I do want StarClan to use this dummy in one of Blackstar's trials, somehow. So I'm not sure if Stonefur made it and they pull it out whenever Blackstar makes another attempt for Life 3, or if the Dark Forest made it and StarClan uses it.)

During Tigerstar's Plan in OoTS, the demons probably appropriated this area. They had to collectively fight Bonefur to "neutralize" it. Tigerstar probably pulled out all the berry bushes off the Bonehill and tossed them away, with Darkstripe not voicing how much it hurt to see Tigerstar toss those away.

Can't admit how badly he wanted to eat them, lest he be seen as weak and distracted again. Before Tigerstar's double death, he was STILL trying to appease him by hiding what he sees as "weakness."

This one fits in with the story better, but it might depend on who else dies in TigerClan. I actually want a demon to have been EXECUTED under the Bonehill, for being HalfClan, having a forbidden love revealed, or some generally disobedient behavior.

(Maybe even in "retaliation" for the others escaping, even though they had demonstrably nothing to do with it)

Show that TigerClan was frothing and radical. Fervent supporters got drowned in its wake along with its innocent victims. So, having that person contribute the Bonehill would be cool.

Honestly the way Sorreltail died and the way her death was discovered is horrifying and I'm surprised I never see people bring it up when they talk about horrific warrior cats moments.

Like yeah Tigerstar getting gutted is gory and shocking but like.

Can you imagine how traumatic this would be for those kits? For Brackenfur? For everyone involved??? What the fuck.

[troutfur]

On Honoring Mothers and Grandmothers: Matrilineal triple naming in Pfurr Clanmew.

A Clan cat's name is as much a living thing as the cat that bears it. From birth to death it grows and changes, becoming a record of a cat's history. Life stages, accomplishments, shames, and in Pfurr Clanmew even a cat's very origins are recorded in it.

A typical Pfurr Clanmew name consists of three parts, a personal name, the name of one's wipfurr (roughly mother), and the name of one's awi (roughly maternal grandmother). Though typically only one's personal name is used conversationally, in more formal situations such as ceremonies, Clan meetings, and first introductions the use of the full form is much more common.

It also serves an eminently practical purpose in reminding cats of their common ancestors up to two generations back. That is essential information when one is seeking a mate.

As an example, let's look at the following case:

The ThunderClan warrior Hollytuft has the full-form name of Waskraofa-ye-Keyababun-en-Urramswash, Hollytuft from Cinderheart of Sorreltail. Her wipfurr in turn bore the name Keyababun-ye-Urramswash-en-Sawaborrl, Cinderheart from Sorreltail of Willowpelt. Thus while her name only encodes historical memory two generations back, with her mother around she's capable to track a generation further back.

Her Pipfurrs (fathers, roughly) bore the following full names; Raorgabrrlrr-ye-Pishkafsheef-en-Kafyarshai, Lionblaze from Squirrelflight of Firestar; Liafihess-ye-Urramswash-en-Sawaborrl, Poppyfrost from Sorreltail of Willowpelt; and Lepechoop-en-Bayysi, Berrynose from Daisy.

Immediately one may notice that the third pipfurr does not have all three names! That is because as a barn cat, Berrynose's wipfurr had no knowledge of her own wipfurr's name, thus no second name to pass down as her son's third name. She's known as plain old Bayysi, the transliteration of the English name Daisy which she was known by at the barn.

This is very similar to how Lionblaze's own awi was known only as Kafyarshai, Firestar. Thus the full name of his daughter, Lionblaze's wipfurr, was only Pishkafsheef-ye-Kafyarshai, Squirrelflight from Firestar. This naming custom marks outsiders joining one generation down, not uncoincidentally reinforcing an attitude within the Clans that full integration can only come over the span of two generations.

Hollytuft's siblings from her pipfurr Poppyfrost carry the names Bosgohussk-ye-Liafihess-en-Urramswash and Obeofe-ye-Liafihess-en-Urramswash, Molewhisker from Poppyfrost of Sorreltail and Cherryfall from Poppyfrost of Sorreltail. Had Poppyfrost and Cinderheart not remained part of the same pfurr, making them instead rabir (cousins) to Hollytuft, their second and third names would serve as a reminder of both their common origin and of the relation between their wipfurr.

It is pretty unusual to see a cat carrying a pipfurr-line name but it does ocassionally happen, more often than not as part of a dishonor title. A prime example would be Gaorkach-ye-Besbabun-en-Byochshai, Tigerclaw from Pineheart of Oakstar, who was renamed upon being exiled. His former name was Gaorckach-ye-Saorpwyyarr-en-Rruqaneep, Tigerclaw from Leopardfoot of Sweetbriar, a name which he refused to let go of and which he eventually carried into his self-given leader name of Gaorshai-ye-Saorpwyyarr-en-Rruqaneep, Tigerstar from Leopardfoot of Sweetbriar.

A cat may very well elect to wear a pipfurr-line name as a badge of pride however! An example from recent memory would be the RiverClan leader Gawgloonshai-ye-Ekshbabun-en-Lubroffaws, Crookedstar from Shellheart of Blackbee, after his pipfurr and his pipfurr's wipfurr. The name was adopted in recognition of the abdication of responsibility his wipfurr took in raising him after the accident that gave him his iconic twisted jaw and how his primary pipfurr stepped up to fill the role as best he could.

Another example, although only temporary and which has become a bit of a stain in the cats in question's history would be Raorgabrrlrr-ye-Bayabkach-en-Rreenponma and Arkrbufr-ye-Bayabkach-en-Rreenponma, Lionblaze from Brambleclaw of Goldenflower and Jayfeather from Brambleclaw of Goldenflower. (Or to those affiliated with the Dark Forest: Raorgabrrlrr-ye-Bayabkach-en-Gaorshai and Arkrbufr-ye-Bayabkach-en-Gaorshai, Lionblaze from Brambleclaw of Tigerstar and Jayfeather from Brambleclaw of Tigerstar.) These names, self-adopted in defiance to calls for branding them with the name of their biological mother, symbolized their total rejection of their awi, the role in the Prophecy of the Three, and their push to associate more with their kin on their pipfurr's side.

Canongen: The New Prophecy || The Lost Save

This was the first test save I started playing and it had a really great arc to it, but unfortunately my game didn't save properly so I have no way to continue it. I figured I may as well post the notes, though!

At first, matters in ThunderClan are fairly lighthearted. Squirrelpaw and Leafpaw have just been named apprentices. ThunderClan has recently named two warriors, Sootfur and Rainwhisker, and their sister, Sorrelpaw, has returned to training after moons of injury. Ferncloud and Dustpelt's new litter -- Birchkit, Hollykit, and Larchkit -- is healthy and doing well, even as their first litter -- Spiderpaw and Shrewpaw -- near the end of their own training.

Patrols mostly go well, but Brambleclaw does get a handsome new tear in his ear from a dog. Ferncloud ventures out with Dustpelt, Squirrelpaw, and Ashfur, and they try to blow off some steam teasing a few twoleg kits they find near the twolegplace... but end up getting chased themselves instead.

In the next moon, Sorrelpaw earns her warrior name alongside Shrewpaw: Sorreltail and Shrewtail. Hollykit gets grabbed by a hawk while playing in camp, but fortunately Leafpaw manages to free the kit from the raptor's talons, although not without injuries. Speckletail is killed by a dog while taking a walk outside camp. Leafpaw wonders if the strange dream she had over the last moon, which she couldn't quite make sense of, was an omen of what misfortune was to come.

At first, the patrols seem to be going well. Prey is plentiful, and Cloudtail and Brightheart head out for a romantic excursion in the forest near twolegplace. While hunting, Cloudtail is captured by twolegs and taken! To make matters worse, Ferncloud is injured by a dog while her patrol investigates ShadowClan scent on their territory. Later, Mousefur, Brambleclaw, Rainwhisker, and Spiderpaw find some ShadowClan kits playing at the border, and Spiderpaw is killed trying to return them.

As if the Clan hasn't experienced enough loss, Hollykit succumbs to the wounds left by the hawk, leaving Leafpaw shaken. Dustpelt steals a rabbit from just over the ShadowClan border out of spite for his son's death, but is quickly caught and killed by another patrol. The Clan mourns, and Squirrelpaw is re-apprenticed to Brightheart. Brightheart knows that she will always love Cloudtail, but with so much other tragedy in the Clan and the looming potential of a war, she knows she can't dwell on it and needs to move on, at least for now.

Over the next moon, Whitepaw earns her warrior name, Whitewing. Cinderpelt and Dappletail berate ShadowClan for the unnecessary deaths at the Gathering, although this does nothing to improve the relationship between the two Clans. The conflict seems to be affecting the other Clans as well, as Rainwhisker's patrol has a tense interaction with WindClan at the border. Brackenfur's patrol, meanwhile, encounters a twoleg at the river trying to dispose of a cat in a bag, and the patrol successfully rescues a frightened, injured kittypet who decides to stay with the Clan and takes on the name Quickspot. Ashfur gets a nasty rat bite while hunting.

Despite her young age, or perhaps out of a desire to have more warriors ready for battle, Squirrelpaw earns her warrior name, Squirrelflight. The tragic news of Barley's death reaches the Clan.

Leafpaw earns her full name not long after, choosing to be called Leafholly in honor of Hollykit. Birchpaw and Larchpaw are apprenticed to Graystripe and Brambleclaw respectively, and Larchpaw is given jay feathers in congratulations! Ashfur's rat bite takes a turn for the worse, and Ashfur grimly comes to terms with the fact that it might not get better despite Leafholly and Cinderpelt's desperate efforts. Mousefur's patrol encounters a kittypet who is interested in Clan life, and she eagerly asks to join ThunderClan, taking on the name Zoeheart. Zoeheart accompanies Thornclaw, Ferncloud, and Squirrelflight on a border patrol, and perhaps with the help of her outside perspective, the patrol manages to dispel any lingering tension between the Clans.

The same could not be said of ShadowClan, and the two Clans formally declare war on each other! Ferncloud is one of the first casualties, killed while scouting out the border. Firestar saves Sorreltail from a dog, but loses a life to his injuries shortly after. Fortunately, Ashfur's rat bite finally seems to have healed, and the immediate danger for him has, for now, passed. Graystripe's patrol notices poorly-disguised ShadowClan scent on ThunderClan territory and decides to return the favor, spitefully muddying the entire border scent line.

In this time of crisis, Firestar finds himself turning to Dappletail's aged wisdom. Squirrelflight earns her first scar, a torn ear, while chasing off a dog. Goldenflower's patrol rescues a young loner named Virgo from a dog, and he decides to stay with the Clan.

ShadowClan raids the camp, and Dappletail dies defending Graystripe from an enemy warrior. Quickspot also nobly sacrifices herself to save Larchpaw. The other Clans feel that this war has gone too far, and pushes ThunderClan and ShadowClan to make peace. While they don't call a formal truce, this does seem to de-escalate the violence.

Fortunately, this seems to be enough for the two Clans to call a truce over the next moon. Thornclaw thinks he might have had a vision from StarClan, but no one can really make sense of it.

Birchpaw is given his warrior name, Birchfall. Brackenfur's tail is badly wounded by a fox, and Thornclaw also gets bitten. Goldenflower twists her paw on a root. Virgo decides to stay with the Clan permanently and takes on the warrior name Wrenheart. Cinderpelt ponders her own mortality while gathering herbs with Leafholly. Sandstorm gets frostbite while hunting.

Soon after, Sandstorm announces that she's expecting kits again! Larchpaw earns her warrior name, Larchfeather. A few cats, including Leafholly and Wrenheart, catch whitecough. Larchfeather gets a bad fox bite (there seems to be a real problem with foxes this leafbare!) Graystripe's patrol meets a loner named Parsley who is interested in Clan life, but ultimately she decides not to join ThunderClan.

Graystripe's patrol warns WindClan about a badger on their territory. It seems all the Clans are relatively at peace right now, perhaps focused on more important parts of survival due to leafbare.

As newleaf begins to creep back in, Firestar and Sandstorm welcome Yellowkit to the Clan. Brightheart is bitten by a snake, but fortunately survives! Brambleclaw falls in the river and makes it out, but not without a cough. Wrenheart and Thornclaw become mates.

anyone else get the impression that sorreltail’s death was a retcon btw

#at least thats how it read to me at the time cause iirc. sorreltail didn’t actually die in the last hope and seemed to be okay-ish #which… makes her death worse to me. vicky was so pissed that she didnt suffer that she went back and went ‘’no she died cause fuck her’’ #its def a gender thing btw cause if you want her to go through hardship why not kill her hubby

[ash4prez]

because absolutely NOBODY asked, here’s a list of my top ten favourite warriors characters (SO FAR)

a lot of you are gonna hate me for not including/including certain characters tbh but this is just my opinion

Disclaimer: I’m on Book 1 of Power of Three currently, so these characters are mostly comprised of those from TBP and TNP. i’ll probably make an updated list at some point in the future, but for now this is how it stands:

#10–Longtail. He’s just a good guy tbh. From being a meanie at the start, to choosing not to leave Thunderclan with Dark and Tiger, to being forced into early retirement but taking it like a champ, this guy has just come to be one of my favourite cattos in the series.

#9–Mousefur. The icon, the legend. She’s literally unfiltered and completely rude to everyone without even giving a shit. She’s shown to be very opinionated and headstrong, but also displays a caring side when it comes to Longtail’s blindness. 10/10 character for me.

#8—Ravenpaw. Is there anyone out there who actually dislikes this guy? I genuinely think he is the most chill cinnamon roll ever. He just wants to vibe with his husband in a barn and maybe warn firestar about important stuff sometimes. Even tho he’s a loner, he respects the warrior code and understands the clan ways. He’s just so awesome and i love him.

#7—Stonefur. Yeah yeah i know we only really knew him for a few books, but I just really liked his character. He was really brave and noble, loyal to his clan, generally a good guy. His death was so sad and honestly just the fact that he went down fighting made me respect him even more.

#6—Sorreltail. Omg idk why i like her so much. Just when she was a new warrior and was best buddies with Leafpool made me so happy, and then for her to become mates with Brackenfur (more on him later—) was just a very good ship for me. I just think Sorreltail is cool and generally a nice cat.

#5—Dustpelt. The biggest G in the entire clan. Honestly Dustyboi is so awesome and i love him so much. Like at first i really didn’t like him, what with the way he was rude to Fire and generally an unpleasant guy, but he got so much better and now i stan him.

#4—Tallstar. OK ALRIGHT SETTLE DOWN, hear me out. Reason number one why i love him is that he’s gay and cute with Jake and we love that for him. Reason number two is that he’s actually a decent guy and isn’t passive aggressive and weird like the other leaders are, he just wants to vibe on with his clan and be chill with everyone. Idk i grew very attached to Tallstar throughout the first two series.

#3—Brackenfur. AHHHH where to start with Brackenfur. He’s just an amazing guy honestly. Like he’s chill, gets along with everyone, but also very brave and noble in the sense that he would literally die for his clan. I usually get very attached to the vanilla side characters who have no real plotlines so this is very expected of me, i just really love brackenfur and his character.

#2—Cinderpelt. Not a DAY GOES BY where i don’t cry over her tragic death and the mountains of wasted potential. Fricking Starclan really had to reincarnate her? What was the point of killing her? Ik it probably had something to do with Leafpool being ✨ special ✨ and the only medicine cat, but come on man. Just look at cinder. Look at how cool and awesome she is.

AAAAND COMING IN AT NUMBER ONE ISSSSS *drumroll intensifies*

#1—The most amazing cat ever to be seen, my guy WHITESTORM!!! Honestly come at me for not putting greystripe or squilf in here, idc. Whitestorm for me is an example of what a warrior cat SHOULD be. He was smart, brave, loyal, trustworthy, chill…he literally had no flaws. Like what did man ever do that was controversial? I cant think of anything, i mean correct me if i’m wrong. I just stan Whitestorm and wish he’d been leader istg.

Thanks for reading this ridiculously long rant lol

Sorreltail and her brothers as tigerclaw x goldenflower kits?

Boy Darkstripe trying to kill Sorrelkit would be Awkward lol

So Tigerclaw waits a bit longer to go after Bluestar, and during that time Goldenflower becomes pregnant again. After The Incident, the kits are born, and Tawnypaw and Bramblepaw are too happy looking after their siblings for many secret meeting with Bad Dad. Sorrel still sees Darkstripe meet with Tigerclaw, and Dark still tries to poison her, but with Bramblepaw becoming Cinderpelt's apprentice, she recognizes Death Berries and runs screaming. Dark is Deported, and Tiger kills him on the spot the next time they meet - he may not be in Thunderclan, but those are still his kits.

Either Day or Dawn become Squirrel's Husband instead of Brambleberry, who enjoys his job AND saves Cinderpelt from the badgers.

Rosebush!

Design Notes:

Its pretty much the exact same as the last one, I just redrew her <3

Character Bio:

Rosebush

(Rosetail)

Lesbian; she/her

Age as of 1st arc's beginning: 8 cycles, 10 moons; ~52 Hyrs

Title meaning: -bush =  A sturdy cat, a cat you can depend on; is especially good at building; a cat who spends much of their time helping around camp and fixing dens

Caretaker of Thunder Order

Mentor: Tawnyspots

Mother: Poppydawn

Father: Windflight

Siblings: Sweet

Half Siblings: Dappledew; Thrushcloud

Kits (outsider sire): Redtail; Spottedleaf; Willowchime

Other notable kin: Downnose (niece); Cricketstep (nibling); Star Ravenscourge (nephew); Dustpelt (nephew)

Extra notes: 

She defo has a secret outsider gf or something, she deserves a gf. If I wasnt attached to Snowstorm and Thistleclaw's fucked up relationship plot, Rose would have been Snow's mate.

Character Summary:

Rosebush is a sort of jack of all trades in the Caretaker role, she is very big and strong, she's one of the best builders in the Order, and she does a lot of the heavy lifting around the camp. She also is very loving and empathetic and loves caring for kits, elders and just anyone who needs some love and care. She's a big buff lady who loves and cares about everyone.

Rose is the mother of Redtail, Spottedleaf and Willowchime, she always wanted kits so she found an outsider to sire a litter! Its pretty sad that her kits had such short lives... at least Red and Willow are carried on through their children.

Rose is also in cahoots with Bluefrost and Thrushcloud about Thistleclaw's assassination. She doesn't join in herself, but she instead stays in camp with Spotted, she knew her daughter needed her.

Rose is one of Bluefrost's best friends, Blue, Snowstorm, Thrushcloud and Rosebush are/were a tight nit friend group, and were almost always spending time together. The deaths of Snow, then Rose and then Thrush is one of the biggest blows to Bluefrost's mental health.

Rosebush dies early in the first arc due to illness, though she lasts longer than in canon bec I think her death would be more impactful if her relationship with Bluefrost, her kits and the Order was established first.
