Drew a thing because I went into a Star Flower spiral
Needless to say, I now have her whole deal figured out for OFND, and may I just say: she is gaslight gatekeep girlboss extraordinaire
Bonus sketch plus bonus colored (ignore the wonky lines; the program I use does weird things when exporting the final image) :D

tbc rewrite stuff: the tunnel gang
also known as the Dark Forest Rebellion or, more officially, the Lights in the Mist.
a group of Dark Forest cats who live in an underground tunnel system. their unofficial leader is Willowsong, and they are allied with Rootspring, Bristlefrost, and Shadowsight against Ashfur. Some are canon characters, some are OCs.
(character details under the cut!)
WILLOWSONG (female, she/her although she really dgaf how you refer to her, aroace): Longhaired silver classic tabby with blue eyes. She has dark sclerae and is missing one paw (which almost appears to have been melted off). Mad-scientist type; knows practically everything about the Place of No Stars. Former medicine cat, was sent to the Dark Forest for testing experimental remedies on her Clanmates without their consent. Will do anything for knowledge and has a somewhat ends-justify-the-means mentality. Knows how to read and write (she's been here for a while, and she had to keep herself occupied somehow. Besides, now she can record her experiments better). Has some powers, all of which stem from either knowing how the Dark Forest works (and therefore how to exploit it) or her experiments with the dark water (which can be used to give a cat great power, as evidenced by. well. ashfur. whose rise to power was technically her fault).
SPARROWFEATHER (female, she/her, bisexual): Shorthaired cinnamon broken mackerel tabby with yellow-green eyes. Close friends with Willowsong, also a former medicine cat (was sent to the Dark Forest for poisoning someone she didn't like and semi-accidentally setting the camp on fire). Reminds me of Tim from TMA for some unknown reason.
RUSHTOOTH (non-binary, he/she, bisexual): Longhaired brown-and-white classic tabby with bluish-green eyes. His personality is admittedly among the least fleshed out. Was sent to the Dark Forest for leading a rebellion against her leader.
SNOWTUFT (male, he/him, gay): Tall white longhair with a massive scar running from his forehead through his left eye, down his throat, and across his chest and stomach before ending on his flank directly in front of his hindleg. His right eye is cyan with a dark sclera, and his left eye is pure black with a cyan pupil. Fog seems to cling to him, and he is not always entirely corporeal. Gained the ability to See into others' souls with his left eye during Willowsong's dark water experiments. Doesn't remember his life.
LYNXHEART (female, she/her, lesbian): Lanky brown spotted tabby with amber eyes. Wears a wilted flower tucked behind her right ear. Former serial killer who has come to regret her actions. Is not actively seeking redemption like some of the others (what she did was unforgivable, and she knows that), but is doing her best to be a better person.
FRECKLEWISH (female, she/her, lesbian): Golden tabby with one brown eye. Willowsong may or may not have compelled her to spill all her trauma the first time they met (she still hasn't apologized for that). Canon Frecklewish backstory.
FEATHERFELL (male, he/him, gay): Smoke Maine Coon with yellow-green eyes. Former kittypet. Went to the Dark Forest for murdering three people as revenge for his crush's death. Didn't die of any normal cause, but rather because StarClan (more specifically, the aforementioned crush) denied him nine lives after having already stripped away his original one.
bonus lore: cats fade not when they are forgotten, but when they allow themselves to, when they stop clinging onto their personhood. this can be through losing themself in anger and vengeance, or through simply giving up on existence. they tend to appear less cat-like, their appearance changing to fit what they're like inside, whether that makes them the host for a colony of worms (Maggottail), unusually dog-like (Houndleap), in possession of far too many eyes (One Eye), or simply more fog than cat (Snowtuft, when the others first found him). They can be (to some degree) brought back from this state (as shown by Snowtuft) by giving them something to cling to, something to rebuild their soul around. they will never regain their old memories or self, but they can make new ones. as such, their appearance is often somewhat different than their original one, even once they look like a cat again.
