hollyleaf or star flower
Thank you! Hollyleaf! In this au the three are Stormfur and Brambleflower (Brambleclaw)'s kits. Their all adopted! Hollyleaf has some sort of learning disorder (unsure which would make sense yet) and ADHD. Which makes her apprenticeship as a medicine cat hard but not impossible. Mothwing tries to be very patient with her but she ends up needing help from some other cats as well. She's closer to Lionblaze than Jayflight (Jayfeather) and she has two mates! Cinderheart and Willowshine. Both Willowshine and Hollyleaf were apprenticed under Mothwing and act as medicine cats.
Hollyleaf's ability is to "go back in time" of an area. On a small scale, if she stands where a patrol was hours ago she can 'see' everything that happened in the area. On a larger scale she can go back years, lifetimes in the past as long as it was in that area.
Hollyleaf uses she/her. Is a cis asexual lesbian. and is very very focused and intense but she means well. She ends up in the tunnels still but this time it's to unlock ancient mysterious lying under her pawsteps. Fallen Leaves keeps calling her 'Miss Holly Leaves' because just Hollyleaf is odd to him- Star Flower I am personally uncomfortable with Star Flower's flirting with Thunder then getting with his dad. Like in a more realistic gritty version of wc I can see it. but im unsure. So as of now, Star Flower never has intensions with Thunder.
Star Flower is a complex lady. She shares her father and Skystar's thirst for power (Skystar is a villain in this) but she doesn't always understand her actions are vicious and she prefers to think she's 'defending herself'. In some cases, this is true! Especially the life she lived, but she also sometimes attacks others for no reason but to feel powerful and in control. She's somewhat petty, holding grunges against others and despite feeling a deep sorrow for losing Tiny Branch, she tries to convince herself Tiny Branch wouldn't have survived anyway.
Her littermates were Golden Spot and Rose Bloom. Who died shortly after their birth and were named by One Eye. her mother was named Garden.
Star Flower equals the harshness and bite of her mate but often tries to lull cats into a sense of comfort and security before using their flaws against them. She isn't well liked in history and her wereabouts in the afterlife are unknown.

Dawnpelt and her relationships
Here’s a small dive into what I’m working on with Dawnpelt (She/her and Xe/xem)
Dawnpelt’s family was composed mostly of her parents and siblings for a good portion of the time. Tawnystar (She/Vae/It) and Lavenderbud (They/It/Ai) were two very different cats but are very much in love and wanted their kits to grow without the burden of their grandfather looming over them. Dawnpelt is closer to Tawnystar. Admiring her mother as a hero figure. She always wanted to impress Tawnystar. Tawnystar sometimes has a hard time showing her pride and overworks vaerself but has always been proud of Dawnpelt since the beginning. They both have that firelike spark in their blood, pushing them forward. Though due to Dawnpelt’s idolization of Tawnystar, xe takes any insult against Shadowclan as an insult to Tawnystar and will fiercely protect xir parent’s name. 
Lavenderbud is the more nurturing of the two and when Dawnpelt feels vulnerable she will collapse into Lavenderbud, who always knows what to say. Lavenderbud is more worried about Dawnpelt’s personal growth due to seeing the softer side of xem but Tawnystar usually sees the best in them, causing some confusion between the two. Despite this, Dawnpelt loves and respects her other parent greatly, but doesn’t quite envy the life Lavenderbud chose for themself.
Being born in a litter of three with no siblings meant a lot of personal play when Dawnpelt was younger, but as she got older she found herself extremely isolated from others her age. After Flametail’s (He/him) accident and him becoming a more dedicated medicine cat after, Dawnpelt and him grew farther apart until she hardly felt like she knew him as more than a doctor. She’s closer to Tigerheart (He/Bun) who was always more rough and tumble than Flametail was, but Tigerheart was always a more emotional cat like Lavenderbud and had very different dreams from Dawnpelt. 
Despite her extended family visiting, she rarely talked with her grandmother, half uncle, uncle, or cousins. This causes her to feel more isolated and out of place, feeling like the only one chasing after xir parent’s star. 
Her mentor was kindly and patient and wanted her to chase that fire inside her, but Dawnpelt knew Ivytail (Ae/aer) didn’t have the same goals in mind either. Ae wanted Dawnpelt to be the best warrior xe could be, but didn’t see how Dawnpelt could become like Tawnystar. Whenever the topic came up, Ivytail would shy away from it.
It wasn’t until Sneezecloud (They/Cloud) that she broke out of her self inflicted loneliness and destructive patterns. Sneezecloud was always bubbly, silly, and saw the world through the eyes of a kit. They never ran for a big goal or worried about loneliness. Sneezecloud saw friends wherever cloud went! Dawnpelt’s fire slowly tempered under Sneezecloud’s honeysuckle personality and the two had kits together.
Dawnpelt was always distant as a parent finding herself unable to perform like her parents had. She feared finding her own way to parent and held a type of guilt that overwhelmed her when Sleekwhisker joined The Kin and Juniperclaw showed signs of self hate. She is now awkwardly overbearing and awkwardly trying to form a relationship with her last kit, Strikestone. 
Lastly, she’s a distant but protective aunt of Wasptail (He/She/Per) her Niece/Nephew.

Breezeheart stuff
I find certain groups of characters very interesting in warriors. 
Breezekit and Nightkit are born to parents with an older litter and some hella trauma due to darktail.
She also grew up in a time where thunderclan and riverclan were trying to work together. and i do mean trying.
For this au Breezeheart (Ey/she/he/it) has a really complicated outlook on life. Ey ends up seeing a lot of really fucked up shit and feels frustrated ey can’t do much to change it. This leads em to finding a mate and friend in Smokehaze who feels similarly about life. Breezeheart wants to make something of only tragedy and turn it into fuel for eir fire.

Thornclaw
Thornclaw, builder of Thunderclan. 
Thornclaw is a rather humble and sweet cat. Despite his large size, he is easily flustered and is gentle towards others. He prefers being alone and keeping his paws busy. Thornclaw uses he/him and is a trans tom who came out during early apprenticeship. He is also aroace with no real interest in having a family for himself, but he enjoys his role as an uncle to many other cats. He prefers working with maple and elm, finding them to be the most suitable for most of his building projects. He enjoys working with Dustpelt and despite his messy job, he likes keeping the camp nice and clear. He is peaceful by nature, but will not hesitate to defend an innocent cat from danger, even if they are someone he’s never met before.
Thornclaw is massive, thick furred sandy mackerel tabby with yellow eyes. He has very large paws and a huge frame. He has a large, looping white mark on his chest that looks almost like a huge winged maple seed. He is often seen with his fur swept back and a few leaves setting behind his ear. Maples and elms typically. He has a pack made out of twisted vines he uses to carry large amounts of sticks on his back.
Thornclaw’s parents are Hellian and Frostfur. His siblings are Brightheart, Cinderpelt, and Brackenfur. His siblings in law are Swiftwing, Cloudtail, and Daisy. His nieces/nephews/ect are Whitewing, Berrynose, Hazeltail, Mousewhisker, Rosepetal, Toadstep, Snowbush, Ambermoon, and Dewnose.

Spottedleaf
Spottedleaf, She/her, Grayaromantic and Graysexual. Thunderclan’s medicine cat. Former apprentice of Featherwhisker and mentor of Fireheart.
A pretty, calico with medium, dark red fur, white on her tail tip with a black base. White back paws with a right white paw and a black left paw. Black tipped ears and a mostly white muzzle and around her eyes with a few black freckles. She has green eyes. She also has two holes in her left ear that she tends to carry small hazel twigs in. After being attacked she has four lines going down and across her throat. 
Spottedleaf is a funny, sisterly cat who enjoys helping out. She’s notably kind, level headed, and is good humored. Spottedleaf is autistic and her special interests are plants, poisonous berries, and bees. She chews on sticks often, which actually helps her teeth. Spottedleaf isn’t fond of kits and finds herself unsure of how to act around them, so she leaves most of their care to nursery tenders. Spottedleaf likes to joke around and keep things relaxed, but becomes quiet and withdrawn when heavily focusing on something. She tends to linger with decisions. Her parents where elderly and passed away when she was an apprentice, she lingers with what she wanted to do for awhile before deciding to be a medicine cat. If she hadn’t, she would have chosen to be a farmer. Spottedleaf is close to most of her clanmates, but was accused of favortism when choosing Mousefur to replace Bluestar after the leader’s death. However, the two became closest only after Mousestar became leader.
Brother is Redtail. Parents are Mapleleap and Parsleyclaw. Brother in law is Runningwind. Niece is Sandstorm. Grand-nieces and nephews are Squirrelflight, Leafpool, Falling Blossom, Bumblestripe, Briarlight, Shimmering Feather, and Stormfur.

some misc Foxleap stuff. 
Foxleap given his name is a very energetic cat who loves to sort of stick his paws into everything. His mind is racing constantly. Despite being awkward with kits he usually hangs out with the elders and enjoys talking to them. He will usually be the one to volunteer to help someone go through long trips. he is an avid whistler, but not much of a singer. He also mimics bird calls. His mate is named Nettlepath, and the two of them meet frequently by the end of Riverclan and Thunderclan territory. The two have had multiple misadventures, including exploring some twoleg areas together. Foxleap is considered a bit jumpy and protective. Though a lot of cats think it’s due to his mother getting sick early into childhood, his sister falling into a tunnel, and later on being the cat that ends up being the reason for the injury (maybe death?) of Swooping Hawk (Swoop of Chestnut Hawk). i might rename him Foxcatcher just for fun bc honestly he was right that’s a badass name and I do love it. but I also love Foxleap.

Dew Nose felt the wind pass through her fur. She was longing for something, something she couldn’t get in Windclan. It had been nice, but thoughts ravaged her mind daily.
What happened to Birch and Alder? Where did they go when Skystar was killed? Where did the last of Slash’s cats disappear to? What lingered past the twoleg place and what was in their territory? Moth Flight had discovered and wonderful magical stone that allowed them to speak with the dead. Dew Nose saw her Uncle again. It had been good to see him. To promise his kits were doing well. To promise him Slate was doing well. 
Dew Nose flickered her tail, eyeing the path away from Windclan. A sudden tap snapped her from her thoughts and she twisted around to face her sibling.
“See a bird?” Storm Pelt laughed, brushing against her. 
“No, sorry. Are you hungry?” Dew Nose asked idly. 
“Not really. You just seem awful focused.” Storm Pelt retorted, leaning forward to catch Dew Nose’s eyes.
“I’ve been thinking, since Moth Flight found the Moonstone. I think I want to explore on my own.” Dew Nose confessed, looking away from her brother’s startled face.
“It’s dangerous alone though. Couldn’t you go with someone?” Storm Pelt gasped.
“Maybe someone will. I want to know what’s out there.” Dew Nose stated.
“Okay...Okay. But. Please tell the clan. Don’t just run off on your own.” Storm Pelt sighed, “You need to tell mom and dad. And Eagle Feather. And Aunt Slate. And-” “I get it, Storm Pelt. People would miss me. I understand.” Dew Nose managed a meager smile and licked at her sibling’s ear.
Windstar didn’t take it well. There was questions. Lots of questions. Moth Flight very kindly stood up for her, even if there was some sadness in her mew.
“All cats need to explore to find themselves. Even if it’s outside the clan. Dew Nose will return a wiser cat. She’ll return as truly herself.” Moth Flight had said.
That’s what tipped the clan’s thoughts. Dew Nose was said to rub goodbyes with her aunt and cousins. She was sad to watch her parents wrap around her like they’d never see her again. She thwacked her siblings with her tail one more time before heading off. Sad faces. Sad faces everywhere. But a little bit of rain wasn’t stopping Dew Nose. She needed to rain like she needed the sun. 
Time stood still as she hovered over the border and took a pawstep over. This was real. She was finally becoming her own cat. Dew Nose leaped over the border and raced through the high grasses, not stopping until she found the Moonstone. She’d use it as her waymark. She’d use to eventually come back home.

Dark Forest Lore
(Sorry it’s late for halloween but) Dark forest cats are the opposing of what clan cats consider to be good. However not all dark forest cats are evil. The truly cruel and worst end up in the warping woods where they run into each other and possibly other ghosts and the living. Much like a Starclan cat, the more time spent changes their bodies. While Starclan cats are blessed with gifts. Dark Forest cats feel endless pain. Those cats who either fall straight in or wander from the neutral realms end up trapped, however some cats in the Dark Forest are spies, suffering for their crimes when they were alive and saving others from becoming like them. If a dark forest cat can repeat and show an honest act of good and wanting to be a better cat they will be able to do tasks to save themselves eventually wandering into the neutral realms then Starclan. Those who never let go of their cruel selfish ways melt into the endlessness of the Forest becoming a part of it.

Traditional Songs
Folk songs live in every version of the clans and tribes. Hell even Bloodclan has songs. Here are the more traditional songs and their dances. 
Thunderclan is very proud of their clan and it’s name. Their songs usually revolve around acts of bravery and strength. 
“Thunder’s Screaming Call” is the most popular Thunderclan battle song. It’s considered a classic. Thunderclan loves projection and loves loud shrieking voices or loud strong deep voices. Most dances they do involve flexing and stomp their feet. 
Riverclan usually sings about the beauty of nature and invention. Most of their songs are about the spoils of life and love. They have very few war songs. The only one notable being “The Rage of the Swelling River”. The song used by Crookedstar to court Willowbreeze was “A Little Turtle song to a Flower.” Riverclan prizes the joy of being alive over everything. They love soft opera or songbird-equse voices. something soulful and sorrowful. Their dances use a lot of swaying and bending motions. To dance with another is usually done with a low bow and flicking their ears back. 
Shadowclan have quiet almost scary folk songs that are used as war songs or story songs. Most of them revolve around the nervous energy of darkness. The most chilling is “Waterlogged Bones” which is sung often, even idly while working. They adore low quiet voices that can control the attention of the camp and quickly shift to eerie painful pitches. Most dances in Shadowclan are done in wavey sharp movements. 
Windclan has a merry farm-like tune that usually involves mentions of the wind and the sky. Their songs carry long stories and dances are fast and involve slim movements. Windclan also shares and swaps songs with travelers. They love voices that carry and have varied pitches. Interestingly a recent dance has become popular with Windclan, called the “Rabbit Race Dance”. The most popular working song between Tunnelers is called “Earth under our Paws.” Skyclan’s songs have been salvaged by the few that remain after departure. Most songs are a strange mix of bird like tunes and chirpy soft songs. Modern skyclan is a bit more like modern pop/rock. Most dances are done with flare for modern Skyclan. The most used old song is called “Cardinals may fly”.
Bloodclan uses quick lyrics and deep scary low voices. Their songs are almost pure battle songs. Dances involve loud powerful stomps and claw scrapes that sound best on concrete. Only know song to the clans is the popular Battle Song “Wrath of Disease”
The Tribe has a long history of songs and the types have varied pretty drastically between the Stonetellers. Though loud howl-y like voices are almost always adored. The one used to welcome the journey cats was called “New Hope”

Hello everyone! Some updates on Brick, Bone, and Scourge 
Brick, Scourge and Bone are all similar ages, I aged them down for a nicer found family plot and decided to make them mates. Brick is Genderfluid and uses any pronouns! Bone is a trans tom who used he/him.
Scourge is a trans tom and genderqueer and uses he/him, they/them, and vae/vaer.
Bloodclan itself is going to be more of a fleshed out group and I’m excited to see it come to light.

Mothers
Female warriors in wc are treated like shit and by extension when they follow some traditional feminine roles they get treated even worse so. Here’s to the moms out there and my loose plans I have for them.
Sandstorm- despite having kits she never loses her very bold outlook on life. She’s hit pretty hard at a young age and for awhile is unsure about kits. She pushes the ranks of one of Thunderclan’s top warriors. Which gives her more work to do than ever. Even after kitting she can’t stay in the nursery long, it makes her feel cramped so she gets the other queens to help her out. Sandstorm is always the busy-body and teaches Squirrelkit and Leafkit important life lessons early on. She’s the mom that takes you out to the park to find cool bugs. Sandstorm is fiercely loyal and supportive of her daughters. She’s the head during the second major bloodclan attack.She’s in my running for leader’s after Bluestar. Sandstorm also ends up overseeing a lot of battles and works with apprentices often. But she also never loses her ability as a painter which a few of her apprentices and Leafpool pick up. She basically invents modern thunderclan painting lol- She still mentors Sorreltail and Honeyfern who both take some of that with them in life. Sandstorm is a big influence on Squirrelflight and was worried about Squirrelflight’s gap in her life where she seemed so unhappy. She’s a big support system for her family and is close to her grandkits and step-grandkits? whatever you’d call that haha- She’s a big beefy war general and also a sensitive loving soul. Squirrelflight- Squirrel is a hot mess for awhile. She’s in and out of relationships. Never knows what she wants. and is spoiled until late apprenticehood. Despite her closeness she’s absolutely the rebel of her family. It’s only until she does major developing in her later years she finds a steady mate in Jessy (Burrchaser later on!) and starts a family. She doesn’t go on the journey and her arc is spent trying to find out where she belongs in her clan. But she also keeps her psychic power with Leafpool bc that’s rad as fuck. She’s also a huge supporter of Brambleflower finding himself and being happy. Even if it means she sees him less. They’re never mates but she’s always been a good friend of his. I do feel like she should be more involved during the blood will spill blood and kin of your kin prophecy. she probably puts it together that through stormfur its the three and then figures out the added Dovewing part and helps get the group together. as fireheart is not a prophecy cat after his original arc.
Hollyflower- this lady has been through hell. coming to shadowclan at as a kittypet with kits she finds herself determined to prove her loyalty. She’s a good warrior but a smart and clever voice that keeps cats clear from some unwise choices. When Brokenstar shows his true face and she loses her grandchild she starts a coup that fails originally but with the help of Speckletalon she makes sure everyone Brokenstar hurts gets their good claw swipe in.
Smokefang- never a medicine cat but still. the clan is supportive of her when she thinks she’ll lose her kits. But all three survive to warriorhood bc absolutely fuck starclan punishing her for no reason. Smokefang gets a painful narrative as the villains mother. Smokefang is also originally exiled and stays with Nightpelt to care for the elders. She helps Hollyflower on the side and before her exile was a spy and voice of quiet revolution. She’s an absolute badass during the first arc and I keep her around for awhile. 
Goldenflower- aka this cat will tear Tigerclaw a new face. Her original mate passes away so Goldenflower goes to Tigerclaw for comfort. Her son get maimed but lives then she finds out her husband is a lying skunk so during is coup/murder of bluestar Goldenflower beats the fuck out of him and sends him away. She turns down leadership because she wants to focus on what actually matters to her. Not just a concept of power. It takes her a long time to heal but she’s a loyal mother and a powerful warrior who is respected for years by the upcoming leaders.
More coming these are just idle thoughts I have.

Some thoughts bc well you know. I don’t consider myself a flawless writer and a few other blogs got me thinking about some stuff so. I feel the need to explain some things about certain characters and for now I’ll start with Sandgorse and Palebird.  Sandgorse is pretty much head of the Tunnelers when he was alive. He did a lot in his youth to help the clan and quickly gained favor. He had everything he ever wanted. When Heatherstar realizes Windclan is falling on hard times and debates the structure of her clan and it’s recent choices that causes several Tunnelers to be hurt under Sandgorse’s guidance (some being the result of his overconfidence) he takes it as a personal attack on himself and tries to turn the tunnelers against Heatherstar. He justifies it to himself as being a revolution when in reality he won’t admit his own flaws and mistakes. This ends up passing his judgement onto Tallpaw when he is an apprentice, Sandgorse was always busy in his own success and almost blamed Palebird for her own sorrow that he was absent from Tallkit’s life until apprenticehood. Which he passed his own standard of how Tallpaw should be based on what Sandgorse believes he’s done right throughout his life. When he tries to convince Sparrow into helping him kill heatherstar and sparrow refuses. Sandgorses own anger makes the tunnels fall down. 
Palebird’s depression has nothing to do with her motives. Nor her husband’s treatment. Palebird viewed being a tunneler as a way of self expression and freedom. A way to thrive out from under her parents claws. She has a love for tunneling and exploration. She is similar that she feels personally attacked by Heatherstar. Her treatment of her kits was always poor however she truly believed with all her heart she was doing what was best for them and pushing them towards success. It’s only when she tries to complete her husband’s plans that she is shown for who she is.

Latest in Shadowclan Leaders
Houndstar- During his life Houndstar was a kind and even tempered leader, who let Shadowclan flourish. He believed strongly in good will. He opened trade with the other clans and kept very good relationships with them even in times of bickering or hardship. The only ‘flaw’ of his rule was his love and devotion towards his mate Redthistle, who was also his medicine cat. The clan worried that too much power was held between the couple and their daughter, Sagewhisker who was also learning to be a medicine cat. Houndstar listened to the clans concerns and established a court of cats in Shadowclan who could challenge him if they felt they were being threatened or mistreated. Due to his honesty and character, Shadowclan was settled with their court which allowed them to question their leader. Houndstar gladly accepted the loner, Cedarbird to be his deputy. And passed away peacefully.
Cedarstar- Cedarstar was always shy, but pleasant. He had a mind that could see the good in everyone and he wanted to keep up the image Houndstar had left behind. Cedarstar was always involved with daily clan life. From hunting with fellow warriors, to babysitting kits, to being their to support queens during kitting, to speaking with elders, and evaluating apprentices. He was frequently down to earth and sweet, however his reign fell on a dark famine. With his deputy, the older tom Stonetooth, the two tried alternative solutions that would allow their clan to thrive. Stonetooth was like Cedarstar, even in temperament and passive. When Stonetooth retired, Cedarstar worried his thoughts were the only ideals being shown in Shadowclan, so he offered the position to young Raggedpelt. Raggedpelt was hot tempered, passionate, and headstrong. But he had ideas to fight the famine, involving looking into new territory new a twoleg junkyard to survive the hunger rippling in the clan. Cedarstar did not live to see the plan go into action, and passed away.
Raggedstar- relatively a short reign. Raggedstar was a decent deputy, who had a falling out with his mate, Smokefang. He still tried to be a supportive father, caring for Joykit, Hopekit, and Wishkit, later renamed to Barkkit, Hopekit, and Ashkit. He ended up favoring Barkkit for their similar interests as Raggedpelt tried to make him a powerful warrior. As Raggedstar with older apprentices as children, he picked Foxheart as deputy. Originally the offer went to Cloudpelt who denied in favor of starting a family first. Foxheart and Raggedstar where said to be mates, however this is unsure as Foxheart was Shrewclaw’s temptation as well. When the plan to raid the junkyard went sour and Foxheart ended up dying, the newly renamed Brokentail was picked for deputy. Evenyone had been surprised when Barkpaw named himself Brokentail, but Raggedstar was never one to put down his son. Brokentail and Raggedstar formed a new plan, involving specializing groups of cats into safer units. Brokentail understanding his father’s vision of Shadowclan had a more intense idea. Brokentail felt he had no other choice, for the good of Shadowclan and of his pride. Raggedstar must fall early. Raggedstar was finally killed when he and Brokentail were near the alley way of the local twoleg place. According to Brokentail, he was killed by stray alley cats.
Brokenstar- Brokenstar’s reign fell on manipulation, using fear and tactics of power to trick his clanmates into submission. He was outwardly sweet with a honey like tongue that would sooth any distress in his clanmates. Brokenstar used his knowledge of the responsiveness of his clan to make small changes until he had enough power and brainwashed minions to take over the clan completely without struggle.
