ᴠᴀɢᴀʀʏᴄʟᴀɴ

♔ Riverstar
tom ; leader ; tags: angelstar
With a seasoned ease Riverstar padded into the Gathering clearing, whisking his tail as a silent gesture that let his Clanmates know to disperse. His ears angled immediately toward the huddle of leaders, which he had grown accustomed to melting into during these events. One never knew who they would meet, and every cat had such differing personalities that Riverstar did tend to find himself looking forward to Gatherings. And during this particular evening, he spotted a bright-eyed white cat with a fluffy tail weaving their way through the crowd. They looked new to the whole thing.
"Hey!" Riverstar called, his voice cool and gentle despite the loud volume. He took a seat and gestured for the other cat to come over. "Busy? You look like you need someone to chat with."

☀ Fadedsun
tom ; medicine cat ; tags: otterfur
Fadedsun noticed the way that Otterfur's body stiffened, and the brief regret that lingered in his eyes, but it was over before he could mention it. Not that he had wanted to- it wouldn't do to force someone to talk about these things, especially someone who he wanted to be closer with. Instead, he tipped his head and spent a few moments in silence, mulling over his answer to his friend's question. "Well, I'm like Riverstar in the sense that I didn't know what a Clan was before I joined one. I was a housepet, you see- my name was Sonny." He stared at the ground with a soft smile, reminiscing for a heartbeat. "My housefolk, they grew herbs and plants of all kinds in their garden. My mother often used them to help the cats around the neighborhood if they got injured, because they didn't want their housefolk to know. No one wanted to risk a visit to the vet if they could avoid it." He flicked an ear in amusement. "So she taught me what she knew. And now, practicing medicine reminds me of her- I can help other cats the same way she did."

♘ Cedarbranch
tom ; warrior ; tags: katara, hollandmarch
Cedarbranch gasped and prodded Hollandmarch playfully. "Ooooh, a crushhhh! Come on kid, we won't tell- what do you like about him?" Before Hollandmarch could answer, he stood and started parading around the other two, his tail high. "Is it his eeeyes?" He blinked dramatically. "Or his soft fuuur?" He spun around in a slow circle, waving his tail in an attempt at elegance. "Or the way he laughs at all your jokes?" At this Cedarbranch rolled over on the ground, pawing at the sky and letting out an overdramatic, content sigh. Now he was laughing so hard he couldn't even get up, so he just rolled back onto his belly, snorting. "I-I'm so sorry," he choked out in between laughs.

♔ Brindlebirch
molly ; perma queen ; tags: mapleshadow
Brindlebirch smiled at Mapleshadow, her eyes lingering on her friend's for just a heartbeat extra. "I just think kits are, in a lot of ways, better than full-grown cats." She mewed with a wink. "Although, for an adult, I think you're quite lovely." She let the compliment settle for a few moments before continuing. "I appreciate it. And don't worry, no cat is a good mother until they have to be one. You only learn from experience." A nostalgic look appeared on her face. "Before I joined VagaryClan, I had to raise a litter of kits. They were my friend's, and they were beautiful. There were three of them- Butterfly, Holly, and Finn. Their mother..." Brindlebirch grimaced. "She abandoned them. A moon after she gave birth she ran off with their father, and I never saw her again. I don't know why. But I had loved them from the moment I saw them, and they needed someone, so... I took them in." She pawed the ground slowly, then raised her eyes back to Mapleshadow's. "That's a big reason why I chose to be a permanent queen. Not that I think any of the VagaryClan cats would abandon their kits, but I just want to be there to make sure all of them have their best chance."

✤ Swarmclaw
tom ; warrior ; tags: parrotwing
Swarmclaw tried to swallow the ball of anxiety that was forming in his throat. He'd never been to a Gathering before, and he wasn't sure what it would be like. The others had told him that the other Clans were mostly friendly, and several of them were allies, but the golden tom couldn't help but be nervous about what they'd think of him. However, upon cresting the slope that led into the clearing, he realized that he could pick out several other munchkins in the crowd. The ball of nervousness turned to excitement, and he bounded past his Clanmates and beelined straight for one of the cats, a spotted gray tom.
"H-hey! I'm Swarmclaw!"

❉ Lionleap
tom ; warrior ; tags: taureauwhisper
Lionleap's gaze darted from side to side, and he had to keep his claws from unsheathing with excitement. His first Gathering! He was here with cats that he didn't know very well, but he didn't mind- he was here to meet new faces anyway. Speaking of new faces, he spotted a crowd of cats in the middle and decided to just plunge into it. Some of the scents made his nose wrinkle, but he was wide-eyed with wonder at the cats of all shapes and sizes. As he exited the crowd, a large tom who was clearly blind stumbled into him, and he immediately leaned down to help shoulder him back up.
"Woah! Are you okay?" Lionleap asked, concern filling his voice. The tom started apologizing nervously, and he chuckled. "Please, don't apologize. I'm not hurt at all, and you seem like an interesting sort. Care to join me for a chat?"

☀ Flintfur and Springbird
tom and molly ; warriors ; tags: liontuft and featherpaw
Flintfur and Springbird walked into the Gathering clearing side by side, each one anxiously searching the cats for familiar faces. Riverstar had graciously allowed them to attend following their separation from their Clanmates, and they were hopeful that they might see some friends tonight. It wasn't long before Springbird let out a gasp, and the quieter Flintfur followed her gaze to where two familiar toms were padding around together. They took off at once, skidding to a halt in front of their former Clanmates.
"Liontuft!"
"Featherpaw!"

ᴋʏᴀɴɪᴛᴇ ᴋᴇᴇᴘ

☾ Night of the Stars
molly ; queen ; tags: crown of embers, tawnyrose
Night slunk around the edges of the Gathering, her pelt spiking with anxiety. The Greater Ones would not be pleased that she had come here alone, but if she was truly to rebuild Kyanite Keep, she needed to assimilate the ways that different leaders acted. She tried to shake off her fear by keeping her mind focused on what was important: her Clan, though only one right now, would stand strong soon enough. And if Kyanite Keep was to survive, it would need faithful allies. So she stood up straight, puffed her chest out, and did her best to look at ease when she bounded into the Gathering. She soon spotted a cream-colored oriental who looked regal enough, so she made a show of purposefully walking over to him.
"Greetings." She mewed, dipping her head. "I am Night of the Stars, queen of Kyanite Keep. May I ask your name?"

hyacinthpaw & tuxedopaw | 11m & 11m | tagged: islandclan cats
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tuxedopaw looked back at her brother impatiently, tail lashing. "c'mon slowpoke, we don't have time for this! don't you wanna see the others?" she asked, a whine to her voice. "if you don't hurry up i'm going to leave you behind!"

hyacinthpaw hopped over a root, groaning as his sister bugged him. "i'm trying, tuxedopaw, not everyone is as fast as you!"

batpaw & lunarpaw | 11m & 11m | tagged: islandclan cats
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

batpaw stood next to her brother, shifting from paw to paw nervously. the normally energetic young cat was quite anxious, as this would be the first time seeing her siblings, and possibly her mother, in quite a long time. her memories of her family in islandclan were quite faint, and she wasn't sure if she would get along with them still.

lunarpaw stood next to sister awkwardly, unsure of what exactly he was supposed to be doing.

the gladiators

neptune, magpiecrest & juniperbloom | 41m, 14m & 14m | tagged: jayswoop
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

neptune sighed as she led her daughters through the crowd, shaking her head at magpiecrest's remarks. it had been ages since they had attended a gathering, and neptune wasn't sure if she was happy to be back.

just as the molly was about to reprimand her daughter, a faint but familiar scent drifted by. halting, she glanced around, only to freeze as a familiar looking cat caught her eye.

"no." she whispered, but fate had decided otherwise. that was really her son standing there, looking happy and healthy.

magpiecrest opened her mouth to snap at her mother for stopping so suddenly, only to stop herself as she watched her mother's face flash from shock to denial to... something she didn't know how to describe. following her mother's gaze, magpiecrest looked at the grey cat, then her mother. the cat looked very close to neptune, in fact, they looked almost identical. memories of the old ship-camp and warmth were brought to her attention, and magpiecrest was left in shock. was this cat one of her brothers who has been lost during the flood?

juniperbloom followed her family happily, eyes wandering around the gathering-place in favor of being kept in their conversation. still lost in her dream world, she almost didn't notice that her mother and sister had stopped. awkwardly stepping back into place, juniperbloom watched the two carefully. they weren't talking. both seemed to have their sights fixed on a grey cat not far away. after a moment, juniperbloom's eyes widened and she darted towards the cat in question. she knew who he was. her brother, the one she had spent most of her time with before the flood, the only one of the siblings to spend time with her because he wanted to.

blazetail & thunderpaw | 42m & 10m | tagged: islandclan cats
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

blazetail's eyes swept the clearing, absently nodding along to his son's words. this would be the first gathering he had attended since his children were born, and the last time he had spoken to anyone from islandclan, he was told his daughter might be attending.

thunderpaw chattered away to his father, unaware that his words were going unnoticed. the young tom had only heard stories of his family in islandclan, and since this was a gathering, he was sure he would be meeting some of them today.

SPRUCECLAN
cats in attendance:
ivyblossom, applefall, duskpaw, jayswoop
— — — — —

Ivyblossom
deputy / 37 f / tags: fishleap (tidalclan)

text “Very nice to meet you, Fishleap,” Ivyblossom greeted with a quick bow of the head. “My name is Ivyblossom, deputy of SpruceClan.” She sat down gracefully, sparing a moment to smooth her rumpled fur, and tried to hide her lingering embarrassment with a bright smile. “It’s quite a nice evening, isn’t it? I hope the journey here for TidalClan was a pleasant one.”

Applefall
healer / 62 m / tags: open, with duskpaw

text Applefall had been present at his fair share of Gatherings, and they were beginning to grow boring in their repetition. It was always the same: wasting away the hours by exchanging useless pleasantries with some other clan’s medicine cat and trying to stay afloat in a massive sea of felines. But this particular Gathering had the calico tom leading the way with a bounce to his step. This time, the newest young healer in SpruceClan would be coming along with him, and there was nothing quite like watching a cat at their first Gathering.

text“How are you feeling?” Applefall asked gently, looking to the tiny Duskpaw where she nervously bumbled along behind him. In her haste to keep up, she nearly bumped into her mentor as he stopped at the crest of a small hill. One flick of his dappled tail indicated the Gathering-place below them. “Look, we’re here.”

Duskpaw
healer’s apprentice / 6 f / tags: open, with applefall

text Duskpaw peered over the edge to where Applefall was pointing, and promptly recoiled with a sharp inhale. “Oh,” she managed. The thick tortoiseshell fur of her coat was completely on end. “There are so many cats...”

text“There are many cats, yes,” Applefall mrrowed, unable to hide his chuckle. “Amazing, isn’t it? Since this is your first Gathering, I want you to stick with me. Let’s find someone to chat with.” Duskpaw could only watch as the calico bounded down the hill with an energy she didn’t know he possessed, before he turned back to look. There was a wry grin on the older healer’s muzzle as he called to her. “Coming?”

text“R-right! Yes!” Duskpaw stammered, and stumbled after him into the crowds.

Jayswoop
warrior / 20 m / tags: magpiecrest & juniperbloom (the gladiators)

textJayswoop’s scent trail led him deeper and deeper into the crowds, weaving between strangers and friends alike in single-minded pursuit of a hint to his past. He paused for a moment, having lost the trail, and gave a soft sigh of defeat. But a she-cat around his age came running, and with her, the scent returned stronger than ever.

textJayswoop stared down at the she-cat, confusion and recognition both warring in his mind. “Juniper?” he tried, voice soft. Before she could reply, two other mollies came running, one dark-furred and another a mirror of his own grey coat. Each of them carried that same familiar scent, clouded by time but still there underneath. A fragile, quivering little thing made its home in Jayswoop’s chest; hope, weak like a newly-hatched bird, but it was hope nonetheless. “Magpie? Mom?”

GOLDEN KINGDOM
cats in attendance:
crown of embers, lily's grace
— — — — —

Crown of Embers
monarch / 51 m / tags: tawnyrose (highgarden), night of the stars (kyanite keep)

textEmbers must have had The First’s blessing this evening, for he didn’t have to wait long at all. A sleek young tabby she-cat, her chin held high and shoulders squared, approached him, and introduced herself as a queen. As she bowed, he rose to his paws and offered the same gesture. “Greetings,” Crown of Embers replied, not bothering to hide his smile. “Pleased to make your acquaintance, Queen Night of the Stars. I am Crown of Embers, monarch of the Golden Kingdom, but that is a bit of a mouthful. Just Embers will do.”

textNow having made their introductions, Embers gave another nod of his head. “You must also be royalty, I assume. It’s actually quite nice to hear of another kingdom around. With luck, the dawn of springtime will bring prosperity to us both!”

Lily's Grace
cleric / 43 f / tags: chervil (gatos callejeros)

text Lily’s Grace hummed under her breath as she entered the Gathering. As always, she split from Crown of Embers quickly and made her way into the deepest parts of the crowd. Lily paused only a moment to brush dust from her face with a paw, clearing away any distracting smells, before scenting the clearing. Herbal, earthy aromas were what she hoped to pick up on— the tell-tale sign of another cat that spent their days paw-deep in medicinal plants. And with this many clans in attendance, it took no time at all for her to pick up a trail and follow it.

textIf her nose was telling the truth, this cat was one of her kind. “Excuse me!” she called, trotting after the source with a little thrill of interest. The stranger turned, alerted by her cries, and Lily grinned. “Yes, you there! You’re a medicine cat, right? I’ve been looking to find some good company for the evening, and I’d be honored if you wouldn’t mind sharing your time.”

[Skarrred]

Venusclan has arrived!

Troutstar : @Orchidmoon
"If you say so." his tail flicked. "Avoiding war is better then cat death, even if you think it won't happen to your side." he finished, ears raised. He had caught Harespring speaking with a kittypet cat, but didn't say anything and looked back at Orchidmoon.

Harespring : @Spookythorn
His ears flicked. "So your that clan that are warriors at day and kittypets at night, right?" he asked, his head slightly tipped to the side.
"Thats cool, actually. Usually kittypets aren't fond of even stepping outside. Its a good start." he assured the other.

Halfnight : @Rivermist!
She rolled her eyes with a scoff. "Have you?" she retorted, her tail lashing back and forth. (Sorry this is short don't have any ideas! ^^)

Almondjoy + Forestfire : @Heatherface!
"Napping and swimming? Thats the op-" Almondjoy was cut off by Forestfire. "I like to hunt and weave grass stems together. As well as hang out with Peca- Almondjoy." he meowed. Almondjoy rolled his eyes before meowing, "I like to hang out with this flame and chill out in the field." he meowed.

Sunset + Robinpaw: @Echosnarl!
"Not really, but theres some." he replied with a nod. "We have an expecting queen, and.." he paused. "Harespring, our deputy, was on patrol with Utensilpoke, or the expecting queen before she was expecting, and a small snowslide of some sort erupted. Utensilpoke was fine, but Harespring needed to rest for a moon." he meowed finally, tipping his ears to listen to the breeze. "And me and Sunset joined the clan." Robinpaw chimed in quietly.

Craniumstrike : @Open! (Mothwoman)
"Thats interesting. Though, queens shouldn't come to gatherings. Its dangerous for there kits. A fight could break out, a fox could attack, and so on." her words were dark yet tone was calm. "Anyway, leafbare has had no effect on Venusclan and we continue to prosper. They even found a moth." her whiskers twitched.

Swoopedclaw : @Givreflame!
His ears flicked in sympathy. "Im sorry to hear that. But, at least you always have kits running around." he flicked his tail now. "Kits are always a great message. We don't actually have kits yet." he lifted a paw to lick it. "Anyway, how is freshkill and herb finding going for you?"

(If I missed anyone; ill get you next post!)

Notes: head in hands i can't believe yall let me keep putting the roman numerals backwards because ive been too tired to properly check

Horizonstar | 60 moons | Leader | Female | Tags: Mochastar (The Neighborhood), Loststar (Stormclan)

Horizonstar sensed that the tom didn't like what she had said, and she felt a bit embarrassed. "Ah! I'm the leader of Irisclan. We're doing quite fine," Horizonstar lied through her teeth, not wanting to speak about the death of Breezepaw and the disappearance of Cypresstail. She turned her head towards another cat who had joined them. "Hello!"

Bramblestorm | 45 moons | Deputy | Female | Tags: Digging Bird (Lionclan)

"I have to keep a positive attitude if I want to stay happy," She said, shrugging. "Why be miserable? It's just boring hating on the world around you."

Snowfinch | 44 moons | Medicine Cat | Female | Tags: Crowwing (Cloverclan)

"None that I can't handle," Snowfinch said, chuckling softly at her own joke. "What about you? Is everyone alright in your clan?"

Heatherface | 23 moons | Warrior | Male | Tags: Almondjoy (Venusclan), Forestfire (Venusclan)

Heatherface chuckled as Almondjoy was cut off by Forestfire.

"Irisclan has many flower fields!"

Ashstream | 15 moons | Warrior | Female | Tags: Batcry (Bearclan)

"Oh we live in a valley near a mountain!" She told him. Ashstream's mood was beginning to lighten. "Irisclan is beautiful. It's full of open space for us to run. I love it."

[chaotic creativity]

CHESSCLAN !!

CHASMSTAR || Dame || Molly || 40 moons || Tagged: Sirenstar (TidalClan)

Chasmstar gritted her teeth as she explained. “I rely heavily on my mate the roi, the other leader. As well as my deputy and medicine cat, I’ve got a strong team that supports me that I support in return. It takes so much patience, but you grow used to it after a time,” she chuckled as she unclenched her teeth. Talking about Rookstar made her blood boil, and she hoped it wouldn’t come to a full conversation solely about him.

RICHTERSCREECH || Tour || Tom || 59 moons || Tagged: Skinknose (RavenClan)

He chuckled gently at the mention of one of his other mates. “She is doing perfectly. She helped a couple in another Clan surrogate, but she kept two of the kits because she had so many they couldn’t imagine trying to care for all of them. Little Guêpekit and Bourrasquekit a rowdy, but Butterflyleap is an excellent mother,” Richterscreech purred, remembering Tectonicmarch’s litter. “Hopefully Tritonsnap will have a litter of his own in the future,” he meowed, excited at the thought of more grandkits.

FAONPAW || Fou Apprenti || Molly || 18 moons || Tagged: Cocoa, Toffee (The Neighborhood)


Faonpaw could sense the longing from Cocoa, and she offered him a gentle smile. She nodded as he repeated Sweethen's words, her heart clenching as she realized she'd never be able to visit him and announce that she'd become a full Fou. "I wish Lionceauroar was here to grieve with us. Caramelkit is still too young, unfortunately, that we may not tell her for a while," she murmured, turning to stare up at the stars. She quietly wondered if she'd ever see Finnegan during her dreams, but she realized he belonged to another Clan's set of ancestors. She would probably never cross paths with him.



SWEETHEN || Cavalier || Molly || 73 moons || Tagged: Cocoa, Toffee (The Neighborhood)


Sweethen couldn't help but breathe in the scent of her daughter, holding her close in the way she hadn't done since before she'd moved to The Neighborhood. She would never hold it against Toffee, the want to live with her father, but sometimes she missed her and wished she'd wanted to stay in ChessClan. Sweethen worried about any of her three kits in the Clan dashing off and leaving her behind, but deep down she knew better. "Are you going to be okay?" Sweethen asked quietly, aiming her question mostly at Cocoa.



TAUREAUWHISPER || Cavalier || Tom || 31 moons || Tagged: Lionleap (VagaryClan)

Taureauwhisper’s mood brightened with the cat, a tom’s, voice. He seemed eager and genuinely a happy cat, and so Taureauwhisper announced an agreement to chat with him. “I’m still sorry for bumping into you. There are so many scents and sounds that they all start to get muddy after a while. It’s much simpler back in camp where I can recognize scents and sounds. It’s one good thing about being in a Clan, you know, having all those cats watching out for you,” he chuckled as his mind drifted to one tom in particular. “I’m Taureauwhisper of ChessClan. What’s your name?”

GIVREFLAME || Cavalier || Tom || 35 moons || Tagged: Swoopedclaw (VenusClan)

Givreflame was quiet as he thought about how to answer. “It’s been going as well as one can hope in leafbare. The prey is taking their sweet time of waking up from hibernation, and lingering frosts have been killing new shoots. How about in VenusClan?” he asked, remembering that leafbare was harsher in ChessClan territory than in many other places.

BEARCLAN

nightfur - open (ferretwhisker)

batcry - (ashstream)

"Are there flowers there?" He asked curiously "I always wish bearclan had more flowers. A valley must be full of them."

RAVENCLAN

skinknose - richterscreech

she purred loudly "I'm glad that she's not alone in the nursery." She meowed "Surrogating can be hard on a she-cat. I've known a few that really get down afterwards. They know they aren't their kits, but it doesn't make it any easier." She prodded her mate. "You're an old tom now, since your grandkits are being born."

[Skarrred]

Venusclan has arrived!

Troutstar : @Orchidmoon
"If you say so." his tail flicked. "Avoiding war is better then cat death, even if you think it won't happen to your side." he finished, ears raised. He had caught Harespring speaking with a kittypet cat, but didn't say anything and looked back at Orchidmoon.

Harespring : @Spookythorn
His ears flicked. "So your that clan that are warriors at day and kittypets at night, right?" he asked, his head slightly tipped to the side.
"Thats cool, actually. Usually kittypets aren't fond of even stepping outside. Its a good start." he assured the other.

Halfnight : @Rivermist!
She rolled her eyes with a scoff. "Have you?" she retorted, her tail lashing back and forth. (Sorry this is short don't have any ideas! ^^)

Almondjoy + Forestfire : @Heatherface!
"That's cool!" Almondjoy chimed, and then Forestfire spoke. "Uh, I forget whether I or he told you our territory yet. But, we have woodland and field separated by a raging river." Almondjoy flicked his tail. "I've never actually gone onto the field yet.. Maybe I will when we get home!" Forestfire scoffed. "Do it in the morning, and Ill go with you." Almondjoy replied, "Fine."

Sunset + Robinpaw: @Echosnarl!
"Not really, but theres some." he replied with a nod. "We have an expecting queen, and.." he paused. "Harespring, our deputy, was on patrol with Utensilpoke, or the expecting queen before she was expecting, and a small snowslide of some sort erupted. Utensilpoke was fine, but Harespring needed to rest for a moon." he meowed finally, tipping his ears to listen to the breeze. "And me and Sunset joined the clan." Robinpaw chimed in quietly.

"Anyway, leafbare has had no effect on Venusclan and we continue to prosper. They even found a moth." her whiskers twitched.

Swoopedclaw : @Givreflame!
"Eh, it goes okay." he replied. "We have a bit of snow here and there, but its melting. The prey is scarce yet every patrol is able to find some, and gathering herbs is slower but we have a good stock. New shoots of herbs haven't started to grow yet, and so were dealing with the older herbs currently. I believe they'll spark next moon or so, though."

(If I missed anyone; ill get you next post!)

[Ariento]

SuburbClan

Angelstar - NB (they/them) - Leader
Riverstar
Angelstar bounded over and took a seat by Riverstar. "I'm not busy at all! Just been looking for some company. Hi, I'm Angelstar, leader of SuburbClan! Who're you?" they meowed excitedly.

Spookythorn - Male (he/him) - Deputy
Harespring
"Yep, warriors by day, kittypets by night. Our leader, and my best friend, Angelstar heard about Clans from a travelling loner and decided to start their own," Spookythorn explained. "What's your Clan like?"

Squirrelcall - Female (she/her) - Warrior
Kash

Squirrelcall looked away shyly and laughed a little. "I'm not usually that interested in gatherings. I would have gone sooner if I'd known I'd meet such a handsome tom!" A little voice in the back of her mind admonished her. What in your ancestors' names are you doing?! He's from another Clan! You're breaking the Warrior Code! But she pushed that thought away. She was enjoying the situation too much to stop now.

Liontuft - Male (he/him) - Warrior
Flintfur and Springbird
Liontuft couldn't believe his eyes. "Flintstone! Riverbelly! It's so wonderful to see you two again!" He had almost given up on finding his lost former Clanmates, but at last two of them were standing in front of him. "Squirrelcall and Bloomwhisker came to the gathering too, though they both went off on their own. All four of us are part of SuburbClan now."

Bloomwhisker - Female (she/her) - Warrior
Maul
Bloomwhisker went misty-eyed. "A massive fire broke out in our territory. My family and I only just barely managed to find each other afterwards, but we couldn't find any other survivors afterwards." She blinked, clearing her eyes and tried to look more cheerful. "Anyways, we figured that, just like us, they would seek out new Clans to join. And hopefully their new leaders would let them attend the Gathering, just like our leader let us come."

Featherpaw - Male (he/him) - Apprentice
Flintfur and Springbird
"Hi guys!" Featherpaw mewed. "I've been an apprentice for a whole moon now, it's awesome! First my mentor was Squirrelcall, but she was too bossy. Now Spookythorn is my mentor. You probably haven't met him, but he's the deputy and he's super cool!" he babbled.

Heatherface | 23 moons | Warrior | Male | Tags: Almondjoy (Venusclan), Forestfire (Venusclan)

"Can you swim in the river?" Heatherface asked curiously, cocking his head to the side. His green eyes were full of wonder. "I'd love to come visit- I'm allowed to... right?"

Ashstream | 15 moons | Warrior | Female | Tags: Batcry (Bearclan)

"Irisclan is filled with flowers!" She purred happily. "That's how the clan got it's name. I was born in the clan, but my f-"

Ashstream stopped for a moment. The stinging memory of Zephyrrush declaring her no longer his daughter hit her hard. The tom had meant it too. He hadn't spoken to her ever since, he didn't even congratulate her on becoming a warrior. The energy and excitement drained from Ashstream.

"My mother and a few other cats were some of the original cats in the clan." She improvised.
