ＳＷＩＦＴＳＴＡＲＳＰＥＡＫＳ
SwiftClan, the fastest cats of all, are unlike any other clan in the world. We, SwiftClan cats, love the whistle of the wind speeding past our past ears as we run. We love sleeping under the stars, content with the belief that StarClan protects us. We are naturally built with long tails and legs, to speed across the moor with the breeze, to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine and wind, to enjoy our life in SwiftClan.
Our home was built as the start of SwiftClan, our destiny. StarClan always knew this day would come, when the beginning of SwiftClan would rise. My descendants will soon learn the ways of the warrior code, to flash across a rabbit's path before it could escape alive, to stalk across dead, bristle grass without creating a sound, to fight alongside each other, to protect and fight for their clan to their last breath.
As a lone clan, SwiftClan has never really had any trouble, but ferocious badgers and foxes threaten our safety, though our warriors will fight to protect, even at the cost of their life. We prefer settling arguments with words instead of claws, and this sometimes leads us to being called cowards, though we ignore it.
I will always watch my clan live, whether I am in StarClan or not. I will do my best to help, and when I cannot, watch helplessly as my clan suffers. But I will always live with the belief that SwiftClan will survive, and I will keep watching from generation to generation.
May StarClan light your path, SwiftClan.

ＨＩＳＴＯＲＹ
Many generations ago, the territory of SwiftClan was a barren landscape, untamed. Cats from far away began appearing, hungry and thirsty. There were no rules, no borders at this time, so there were constant skirmishes over prey. Cats lived by themselves, their attitudes towards each other keeping them apart. A healthy, young she-cat was sick of all this mistrust and fighting, and decided to call a meeting with all the cats. Everyone was reluctant and afraid to attend, scared a battle would rage again. The young cat, named Swift, was determined for all the cats to work together, inspired by old tales of the great clans. She explained her idea to everyone, their ears pricked intently. As she finished, cats began to argue and disagree among themselves, thus nearly leading them to another battle. Swift was angry at the cats for being unwilling to work together as a clan, and then told them the benefits a clan would provide for them. A tom, also wanting peace, stood up by Swift's side, supporting her idea. More cats rose up to vote, many choosing Swift's idea, but some staying behind, unwilling to support Swift. They drifted away to live as loners, and Swift began her work of piecing the new clan together. As she finished, every cat was happy and content, settling down for rest. StarClan visited Swift in a dream, granting her new lives and the knowledge for what was to come. The new clan was named SwiftClan, in honor of Swift, the founder. The tradition was passed from generation to generation, growing stronger each time.
And that's how SwiftClan came to be.

ＰＲＯＰＨＥＣＹ
The hidden bird shall mask it's feathers,
The shivering winds shall blow,
The roar of the wilderness will make itself known,
And blizzards shall swirl as the ice grows.

As the venom of the adder will poison the clan,
leaving it to rot.
A wolf's destruction will fall upon the clan,
for its enemy is the torn feather's kin,
who will find a place in the stars.

But then the elements shall meet,
to lift the clan from destruction.

ＴＨＥＣＡＭＰ

Our camp is located on a grassy hillside without many trees, although we still get a chance to climb them. Our camp is not partially sheltered, which makes us seem vulnerable, but we are cleverer than we seem, and have dens that surround our camp, with difficult-to-climb rocks bordering them. Where the warriors' rest and chat is the warriors' den, simply a small, rocky cave draped with leaves with many entrances, so that they can come streaming out in an attack, ready to fight. Where the apprentices brag and laugh is the apprentices' den, a seemingly small den, but with the entrance leading up to a bigger room inside. Where the queens rest and the kits play is the nursery, a moss-lined rock with a branch laid across it. It's entrance leads underground, but somehow there is always enough sunlight to light up the whole room. Where the elders rest and tell stories is the elders' den, a formation of sturdy earth with moss and vines draped on top of it. This is the place where eager kits and apprentices come over to listen to the elders' tales in their earlier lives. Where all the leaders' relax and think is the leaders' den, a den that rests under a overhanging rock. The rock is the Highstone, where the leaders' make announcements, call meetings and perform ceremonies. Where StarClan meets with the medicine cats to share important things is the most important place of all, the Lunar Cave, a sacred cave with moonlit water that gently laps at the bank of the water. The walls of the Lunar Cave are lit up by the radiant shine of the moon, which makes the cave seem enchanted.
This is the home of SwiftClan.

ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬＩＴＹ
Sharp-minded, loyal, intelligent and calm at most times, Owlstar has never let his clan down once. Not afraid to try anything, Owlstar puts himself at risk far more often than any cat would have ever imagine, due to his devotion to his clan. Mainly skilled at fighting, Owlstar strikes fear into his enemies' hearts easily. On the other side of this stern, dare-devil cat, Owlstar also has a soft side. Treating everyone with respect and fairness, he earns it back easily. He tries to get the chance of helping other cats as much as he can, for he likes feeling good about aiding a cat.

ＨＩＳＴＯＲＹ
As all other cats, Owlstar was clanborn, the only kit of Moonripple and Duskclaw. Ever since he was a young kit, you would find him stalking a leaf or batting a moss-ball while yelling battle cries. He grew up as a strong-willed apprentice, always begging his mentor to go out to practice and learn. As Owlstar grew up as an apprentice, his parents were both killed in a battle with badgers. He mourned for them everyday, and vowed to be the best warrior he ever could be, for his parents' sake.

GrayPaw is a very mellow and Wise cat for his age. He tends to be quiet yet brave and funny once you get to know him hes niether hyper and shy so hes an average apprentice with a loving family. He is mellow, and wise which spooks the other kits, and makes them not want to be friends with him. He is very lonely and wishes he had friends, sometimes he wishes he was a different kit and had friends.
He Almost always Befriends other warriors and has a strong relationship between Medcine cats.
