w h e ez es, I keep forgetting to actually link my cats lol
heres duskclan! information on my cats is prob more found on the thread linked in the description
the two newest cats to my clan are laurelbreeze and lynxstorm!

katrione decided to gift me laurelbreeze as I own her sibling, swiftpaw! interestingly, those two are the first competition cats I believe, being number #0014 and #0015. weird, seemed like yesterday lol
anyway, laurelbreeze is a cheerful cat who certainly teases swiftpaw a lot ["hahha u still have ur -paw name" "I'm a medicine cat apprentice"]. shes pretty naïve and doesn't really consider things before she flings herself headfirst into any situation, but her sibling does balance her out at least lol

and lynxstorm, who was my august custom! my first concept for him was actually for rise #0100 but I lacked motivation to finish the form. oh well
lynxstorm originally came from another clan, but was forced into exile after he was accused of murder - except, the real culprit happened to be his brother who looked a lot like him. lynxstorm often makes himself come across as aloof and emotionless - mainly because as an apprentice, he tended to be quite angry, and believes that this made it easier for his former clanmates to believe he could do something so awful. hes a loyal friend once you get to know him though!
How do your cats deal with shortages in resources?water -- boy would they be in trouble if the stream dried up. the stream diverges into the place in which they communicate with starclan, so theyd definitely be in trouble. duskclan may ask for permission to drink from others' territory, or may search for other sources
food -- duskclan lives on the moorland, so prey isn't exactly bursting at every corner. the youngest, the oldest, and the ill would be given prey above the other cats first; as they can survive longer without prey. the clan do not commonly hunt within the rabbit burrows [as it can be dangerous] but every apprentice is trained to do so. if need be, they will follow the prey underground. if not, duskclan may look to other clans for assistance
herbs -- swiftpaw will order any of the warriors to go looking for herbs if they cannot find supplies easily; whilst theyre happy to agree, peachblossom can usually be seen grumbling about hunting patrols in the background. in the event that there are very few herbs in their territory, swiftpaw will order any of the warriors to talk to them before picking any herbs [so that there will be enough to grow]. swiftpaw will basically yell at the warriors to not fling themselves into battle
What is the biggest threat to your clan?well, for one thing, half of the clan is literal children. this means that if any kind of attack happened or any kind of evacuation would be very difficult - simply because there are so many young cats in the clan, who will likely panic or not be able to defend themselves
the clan, being on an open moorland, is also at risk from severe weather conditions - such as fires or snowstorms
