Meet the Colony, our opening group bound for TimberClan!
Tumblr media
(Thanks to Courtney for the art and opening pitch!)
The Colony is a group of cats who live amidst a junkyard and aim to raise kittens into healthy adults who are able to hold their own against the world. Led by the Keepers- those who were responsible for the rearing of kits- the Colony reigned over their harsh domain for seasons... until the Keepers began to abuse their power and the cats beneath them revolted. Now, a group of former Colony cats have banded together and left their home in search of a new one, on the trail of former exiles Stinger and Rigs and whispers of a pair of clans that were strong enough to fight against a ruthless Gang...

salmonpaw!! ive been thinking about making a little allegiances page for my fanclans :3. she's first because she's the protagonist!
more info under the cut!
SALMONPAW
Clan: Thunderclan
Rank: Apprentice
Mentor: Froststar
Age: 10 moons
Gender: Cis female
Pronouns: she/her
Sexuality: Lesbian
Notable Kin: Swiftstar (deceased), Riverthroat (mother), Herringpaw (sister), Maplepaw (cousin)
Personality: salmonpaw is a little spitfire of an apprentice! she's incredibly passionate about her warrior training, to the point that it's a little obnoxious. or a lot obnoxious, according to her sister. she often tries to show off in front of her clanmates, and often gets in over her head. that's not to say she isnt good at her training, though! she practices very hard every day, and the results show for themselves. she's a great runner and hunter, though her mouth runs before she has a chance to think, so she's not great on patrols. her rivalry with olivepaw, another apprentice in thunderclan, just fuels her competitive tendencies.
Backstory: salmonkit was born to riverthroat and swiftstar along with her sister herringkit in thunderclan! from the moment she opened her eyes, salmonkit was energetic. she always wanted to play games, all the time, much to the chagrin of her more laid-back sister and her exhausted mother. she constantly wants to leave the nursery and go explore camp, and when she gets dissatisfied with that, she wants to sneak out of camp entirely! she did manage, once, but was attacked by a fox that tore her ear off. thankfully a warrior was nearby to hear her screeches and save her, and while the experience humbled her for a time, by the time her wound scarred over she was all energy, all the time again.
by the time she was apprenticed, everyone was eager to get her out of the nursery. she excitedly touched noses with the deputy, frostfury, nearly bruising them with her eagerness. she took pride in the fact that her father apprenticed her to the deputy, feeling like she ought to prove herself and impress him as soon as she started training! he wasn't in the nursery much, so she felt like this is a chance to get closer with him!
sadly, he died to a greencough outbreak that swept through camp a few moons later, and salmonpaw was devastated. though, not exactly for the reason that other cats think. she was sad for her father, of course, but she never really knew him, and she also felt guilty that she didnt feel as bad as she thought she ought to feel. in an effort to push it out of her mind, she threw herself into her warrior training harder than ever in an effort to appease his spirit in the absence of her grief.
she never lost her energetic attitude, however! she's still the same confident, happy, and slightly too intense cat she's always been, for better or for worse. she's made a lot of friends, but she's also drawn the ire of some of her own clanmates. in present day, she's just trying her hardest to hit her training goals and complete her warrior assessment, but something dark is lingers at the edges of camp and the hearts of her clanmates...

 Meet Velvet, the first of our TimberClan-bound adoptables for our May 2023 opening!
Blind from birth, Velvet has been surrounded by those who doubt them since the day they opened their eyes. Nevertheless, they have never let their lack of sight stop them, and have grown into a formidable combatant who proved their critics wrong time and again. Now, they follow their fellow colony cats into unknown territory...
How will Velvet cope with the latest challenge thrown their way? Why did they choose to join with the deserters and face the trial of finding a new home? Decide their fate by applying for Forgotten Elegy in our upcoming opening!

Cautionary Tale: don’t let grief dictate your choices in Clan politics  
Story:    
He had a relatively simple childhood, but his mother was never there for him and his brother.   
Wildkit made friends easily, and didn’t spend time with Timberkit. So Timberkit found new friends. Meowyman was always willing to tell him stories, Daisybreeze always made up games for him to play, and Droughtpaw became his best friend!   
Droughtpaw was really pretty, too. And Coyotecreek? She was the best. She took care of him, let him sleep in her nest, and always made sure that he was safe. She brought home trinkets for him. Droughtpond became a warrior the same moon as he was apprenticed, and Timberpaw became Meowyman’s apprentice! 
The outside was beautiful, and  Wildpaw even began to spend more time with him. He was never close to Larchswipe, but was shocked when it was revealed she had lied about sickness and caused the death of Thistlekit. A moon later, she was exiled.   
More than halfway through his apprenticeship, Meowyman died from an infection. Hillseed was made his new mentor, and not even a week later was hit by a monster and died. Droughtpond offered to mentor him in the last moon of his training, and Timberpaw accepted.   
He got to know Suntooth because she was Coyotecreek’s apprentice, but never felt as close to her as he did her sister Shadejaw. She spent lots of time with him while Droughtpond was in the nursery with Bluekit and Burntkit, and Timberstone was happy that his friend had such healthy kittens despite the leaf-bare cold.  
Life went on with the river threatening to spill over, causing panic through the Clan. This was only made worse when Mistlestep, Badgerlily, Ember, Leafmoth and the deputy, Burdockfossil went missing in the night, found dead by the border.
Coyotecreek was promoted to deputy, and Timberstone cheered the loudest.  
Then the river overflowed in New-leaf, the camp flooded, and many died. The cats with the least attachment left, not wanting to deal with the weakened Clan.   Timberstone was devastated when his mother, Union, asked him to leave with her. He refused, and so did Wildbreeze.   
But the Clan only grew following this, with a huge baby boom. Daisybreeze and Deerpatch had kits! Stormkit and Kinkkit.   
Timberstone had his own kits with a kittypet he met, and she let him take them to raise himself. Berrykit, Krillkit, and Elmkit were perfect.   
A moon later, he fought with Daisybreeze over Timberstone wanting to leave the nursery to hunt while the kits were alone. 
Coyotecreek led a small patrol out with Suntooth and Toadpaw, and the whole patrol was slaughtered, their bodies reeking of Larchswipe. The same day, Daisybreeze accidentally chewed some deathberries.   
Timberstone vowed revenge on Larchswipe, and was shocked when he started seeing ghosts. They told him of what went on in Larchswipe’s Clan, and told him he was part of the prophecy. Apparently, they were planning to tell him before they died. 
Shadejaw and him became closer, and they even became mates!  
Larchswipe’s Clan was quiet for the next moon, until they attacked Timberstone and Plushruffle on patrol. Timberstone dashed to reach him, to help Plushruffle, but his paws fell into the ice, cutting them and slowing him. 
The next moon was busy. His kits were apprenticed, and had to be sent out alone without adults. The ice layers covering the whole flooded field were too thin for the warriors to patrol. Droughtpond was promoted to deputy after Antdapple retired, and on the first patrol after the melt, the worst happened.   
Berrypaw was injured, and Shadejaw was killed by Larchswipe. Overcome with grief, Timberstone convinced Droughtpond to send an extremely large patrol of cats to attack Larchswipe’s group. 
With the flooded New-leaf river banks, the battle turned to the water and the rogues were executed, drowned.  
Thrushpaw, Sunwatcher, Flamepaw, Thornpaw, Stormswipe, Antdapple, Turtlekite, and Wildbreeze were killed, and Brightstar lost two lives. But Larchswipe’s gang was defeated.   
It was meant to feel good, but as he drowned and revived her over and over again, holding her under until the gargles stopped, all he felt was grief and anger. He never wanted to be a killer.   
Coyotecreek and Daisybreeze’s ghosts said their goodbyes, and he could only hope Shadejaw and Suntooth were reunited in Starclan. Daisybright hopped up to him, and his heart dropped. 
Daisybright didn’t bother him until Daisybreeze died, but now every time Timberstone heard their name, he thought of Daisybreeze—the real daisy.   
The final straw was when Daisybright joked that one day they might be as good a hunter as Daisybreeze. It was just the two of them on patrol, and Timberstone whirled around and smashed their head against the ground. He had whimpered, instantly hating what he had done. 
Killing Larchswipe was one thing, but Daisybright? They’d been nothing but nice to Timberstone. He took the body back to camp, saying that they had slipped and hit their head. 
His kits became warriors, and Timberstone cheered the loudest. He shared moonlit strolls with Droughtpond. Things were hard, without his friends or his family. His head felt empty without Coyotecreek’s voice in his head.   
He choked back sobs when Droughtpond died from greencough, and Timberstone stayed by his side until the end. And then Milkgoose brought the kit home, Timberstone looked down at Larchkit in disgust.   
Why would they ever, ever name a kit after that monster? She was small, and polite, and he hoped that she didn’t become like her namesake.  So, he took care of her. She was always on her own, the only kit in the Clan, left by her mother to be raised by her Clanmates. She reminded him so much of himself.   She knew too much.   
Blightstar was grabbed by an eagle on patrol, and was dropped. All the bones in her spine and legs were broken, and the medicine cat hung her head sadly and asked him to kill Brightstar, causing her to lose a life. Over, and over again he repeated it in his head.   
Larchjay earned her warrior name, and he couldn’t be prouder of his apprentice.   
A snake was found in MilkCapDapple’s nest, and it killed her. Timberstone comforted his daughters through the loss of their friend. He didn’t process it at the time, but Larchjay didn’t seem very remorseful.   
The next moon, he lost his child.   
A patrol consisted of Cicadawings, GhostPipegarden, Blightstar, Shellpaw, Vox, and his daughter, Elmdrop.  According to a rogue they talked to, the patrol was sneaking on the edge of Twolegplace when the Twolegs noticed and traped the patrol in their monsters.   The cats on the patrol were never seen again.  
Five days later, he fell asleep and saw Elmdrop, with stars in her pelt and a sad smile on her face. 
His daughter, Krillspeckle, became mates with Splashkite, and she mentioned that Elmdrop appeared in her dreams telling her to confess. 
Larchjay was sparring with Aloepelt, and broke the smaller cat’s leg. To Timberstone’s shock, Larchjay came up to him after and complained about how whiny Aloepelt was being. He told her not to speak like that, and it wasn’t brought up again. 
Aloepelt continued healing, her leg set well by the medicine cat. Not long after, he overheard Aloepelt taking to the new leader, Willowstar.   
Larchjay came to him, detailing a nightmare where she drowned in the rushing water. Timberstone felt his body go cold, and quietly made an excuse to get away.   
The next night, his dreams were filled with nightmares of Larchswipe, and in his dreams the two blurred together. He went out to join Larchjay and her apprentice, Firpaw, on patrol and found them down by the river. She was holding Firpaw’s head under, the shore covered in blood, and had cut out the chatty apprentice’s tongue.   
He lay crouched in the bushes, his heart pounding in his ears. All he could think about was Larchswipe. So, he pounced, clawing blindly through sobs. He didn’t want to kill her, but he couldn’t let it be a repeat of Larchswipe’s reign. He killed her, and brought both the bodies back to camp. 
They comforted him, and he hung his head in shame. Willowstar allowed him to stay in the Clan with no consequences, something the whole Clan respected. 
Berrybite and Eelmoth became mates, and Timberstone congratulated them.   He wanted to see them grow up, having kits of their own if they wanted. But he just couldn’t think of him being there.   
Timberstone fell into a depressive state, not wanting to leave his nest   His daughters tried to encourage him to get out, but he’d stopped eating and refused to go near birds or water.   
Bluetail, Droughtpond’s daughter, and Berrybite convinced him to go out at night and watch the stars with her.  He swore he could hear his friends calling to him.   A moon later, Timberstone spent a heartfelt evening with everyone, and he went out on patrol alone and found the deathberry bush that Daisybreeze ate from.

"Our time together may have been cut short, but I wouldn't change anything for the world"
Fun little thing I did during my first day of classes!
Character names L to R: Applepaw, Gorsepaw
Applepaw(later applemask) was my first warrior cats oc so doing this was a bit cathartic!
Here is a bunch more about them:
Applepaw and Gorsepaw were rather withdrawn in the time they spent together as members of Timberclan. Despite occasionally teaming up with Applepaw's brother, Coldpaw, as kits they tended to do things on their own most of the time. This got worse as time went on and they were both apprenticed to Coyotestar(who was laying low as Coyotepath). Coyote left them to their own devices outside of strenuous training sessions so the pair would wander around Timberclan territory together and fool around.
Applepaw was the more quiet of the two and sometimes had a hard time expressing themselfself. Gorsepaw frequently gave him confidence boosts to try and help them.
Gorsepaw was far and away the louder of the two but always had a hard time conveying his thoughts properly which often led to misunderstandings with other apprentices. Applepaw would always reassure that it was never his fault.
They were both so isolated from the rest of the clan they tended to just do whatever they wanted much to the annoyance and jealousy of a lot of the other apprentices. Applepaw and Gorsepaw were strangers within their own clan from the moment they were apprenticed and never really had the chance to grow like the rest of their peers.
