ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ

Frostclan are a welcoming, warm clan overall. Like any clan they are wary of any newcomers but they are quick to warm up and don't like to cast others away from help when they can provide. While they do seem like a gullible, easily trod on clan they aren't quick to give out second chances. If you say one thing and break their trust once it's likely gone for good. These cats are tough mostly thanks to the terrain they've grown up on and because of this their fighting tactics are a more bulky bully ideology rather then quick and agile.

ｔｒａｄｉｔｉｏｎｓ

becoming a warrior; in order for an apprentice to complete their warrior assessment the cat must track a reindeer and snatch a tuft of it's shaggy coat in leaf-fall or leaf-bare. In newleaf or greenleaf the reindeer aren't quite as shaggy and because acquiring a tuft of fur is more difficult these apprentices must instead collect the fuzz off of their antlers. While this is occasionally more dangerous the reindeer don't seem to mind a bit of help when it comes to shedding their antler velvet.

ｔｅｒｒｉｔｏｒｙ
Frostclan reside on a wide open tundra surrounded by mountains. Their camp is a massive cave nestled within a mountain. The mountain lays next to a lake where the clan frequently fishes. Their Starclan communication spot is another cave farther up the mountain then their camp is - the moonstone isn't hidden far within the cave an quite a number of cats can fit and communicate with Starclan at once. wip

Iceclan is on the South border
Forestclan is on the Southwest border
Hopeclan is on the West border
CraterClan is on the East border

ｐｒｅｄａｔｏｒｓ ＆ ｐｒｅｙ
owls (common predator) - mostly predators to young apprentices and kits the big owls pose no threat to full grown warriors.
fox (common predator) - the most threatening predator to Frostclan, these foxes don't hesitate to attack cats on sight unless they travel in a small party.

Personality ;
Snowstar is bubbly, open and overly friendly. She's a firm believer that none should be turned away from her help and will do anything to save a life in need. That being said, however, she isn't one to forgive easily. Sure, it takes being broken first but once she's reached that there is no saving her from her own wrath. If trust is broken Snowstar can be menacing and turn anyone's life into a nightmare. She's not big on banishment but she won't hesitate to essentially strip a warrior of their pride and banish them within their own clan. Embarrassment is one of her biggest tools and she'll quickly make a fool of any who trod on her wrong.

Snowstar is especially fond of kits and queens, longing for the day when she can have kits of her own. A die-hard romantic she's easy to swoon and get giddy.

Snowstar has gained her first darker quality - she doesn't believe in love as powerfully as before. She believes in it for others still, just not for herself. When Swiftleap professed that he wanted to be her mate she declined and is now forced to watch him court a new cat, Thornblossom.


History ;
Born to the name 'Snow' this she-cat had only herself and her mother near the edges of the tundra. She was one of three but her two brothers didn't get to take their first breathes before they were claimed by the stars. Her mother, Velvet, was very protective and would turn Snow away from any conversation that had to do with the tom that had claimed to be the love of Velvet's life. All Snow ever got to know of her father was that when he discovered that two of his kits had been born still he abandoned Velvet and Snow, ashamed. It didn't bother Snow much - not knowing her father. She had Velvet and that was all she really needed. The mother and daughter duo did a lot together and thrived on the edge of the tundra for many moons.

When Snow reached her thirtieth moon she had a dream. A cat named Froststar, a massive white tom, had visited her and asked her to help him. Froststar's clan had been wiped out by the harsh tundra but he still believed that the cave they had found would be a great home for a strong clan. Snow had never felt like her life could mean so much and she instantly agreed to find the cave and start a new clan. Snow had been granted her nine lives by many cats she didn't recognize yet she somehow felt connected to the last cat - a tiny black kit who granted her a life dedicated to being motherly. When Snow, now Snowstar, had asked about her mother Froststar simply shook his huge head and vanished.

Snowstar woke next to Velvet's body and when the she-cat tried to stir her mother she discovered that she was dead. Snowstar was devastated and spent many sleepless nights with her mother's body. One night she was stirred by what she thought was her mother only to discover it was Velvet's spirit. Froststar was there to greet her and welcome her to Starclan and so was the tiny kit. Snowstar only dreamed long enough to see Velvet wrap her fluffy tail around the kit and get a shiver of warmth.

When the she-cat woke she knew what she had to do - find the cave. It took her two moons but when she stumbled onto the cave she knew it was the right one. Without a thought she knew what to name her new clan - Frostclan.



The clan had been running smoothly when the first bump appeared in Snowstar's nine lives - Swiftleap asked her to be his mate. She had told him she'd think about it and to this day she regrets ever saying those words. The day after saying that she could already feel that she was upset with herself - she couldn't sleep. So in the middle of the night she'd gotten up and gone to the lake to contemplate how to express her feelings to Swiftleap. Her heart had closed up though and as she stared at her reflection a fury like none she'd ever known had welled in her throat. The she-cat left her reflection and climbed onto a waterlogged tree that stretched into the lake and delicately walked out to the trees end. She'd yelled at the stars, so angry she was, asked if her mother was watching her. She was so angry and she tossed her body in the opposite direction, aiming to dash off of the log, only to have her paws fall from under her. Snowstar struggled to grab hold and the trunk was so swollen that it proved to be no help - Snowstar plummeted into the dark waters, her lungs quickly filling with water. She lost two lives in that dark lake and was denied seeing Starclan in the process. Her rescuer, a massive white tom named Bearmask helped Swiftleap and Thornblossom carry the she-cat back to camp.

Since she's been cursed with watching Swiftleap and Thornblossom coo and coddle each other.

rank: deputy
first mention: X
formally: haze
age at start: twenty-eight moons
mated with: n/a
alive or deceased? alive
cause of death: n/a

Personality ;

The first deputy of Frostclan, Swiftleap is a stoic and noble individual. He doesn't say much unless it's absolutely necessary or it's a daily requirement of his job. He prides himself on his honesty and integrity and takes any and all lies very seriously. His grudge holding skills are impeccable and not many fancy crossing his path of unforgiving. An excellent hunter but not much of a fighter, Swiftleap enjoys joining hunting patrols and only very reluctantly stops to watch over fighting training of the apprentices. One thing that causes the deputy to stand out from most others is the fact that he isn't afraid of wolves or dogs because of his upbringing.

History ;

Born Haze this tomcat was a loved and adored kitten that belonged to some twolegs. For the most part little three month old Haze loved his life - all the toys and food he could ever want... but something was missing. The little kitten yearned to go outside, to wonder, to survive by his own claws. So it was that one fateful night little Haze slipped out through a dog-door and never looked back. He quickly learned how to hunt for himself and while a lot was terrifying - he was mostly a brave and respectful little thing.

Moons passed without much happening - Haze got a few scars, gained a love for certain pieces of prey and meandered farther then he thought possible. He was eighteen moons old when he met a pretty little she-cat who struck his fancy. She called herself Petunia and the two began to travel together. They were never apart unless it was to make dirt. They spent countless sunrises chatting about pointless ideas or what to do the following sunrise.

Two moons passed and just as quickly as they'd met they began to drift apart. It wasn't Haze's doing - Petunia just seemed suddenly different and it was like she wanted nothing to do with Haze or they previously amazing banter. Slowly but surely Petunia began sleeping farther away from his warmth, hunting on her own and generally avoiding him. Haze worked up the nerve to ask her if she was okay when she shrugged and vanished for three days.

Petunia returned after those three dreadful days with another tom by her side, called Klondike. The massive white tom did little to comfort young Haze and it was all that Haze could do to accept it. Petunia left him with Klondike and she didn't return though Haze longed to see her again. It's thanks to Petunia that Swiftleap gained his sense of honesty - he never wants to hurt another cat the way Petunia hurt him.

A moon after losing Petunia Haze was visited by a starry cat in his dreams. The cat, Froststar, had asked that Haze embrace a new name, Swiftleap, and that he travel far away. Not feeling like he had much other purpose Haze, now Swiftleap, agreed. Froststar had told him to follow the sun for several moons until he arrived on the tundra. It took Swiftleap seven moons to find the spoken of tundra and when he did he saw a massive mountain next to a lake. A deep blanket of snow urged the tom onward and he felt somehow inclined to climb the mountain. He quickly found a cave and when he entered he was greeted by a beautiful face - a face he has come to know as Snowstar.



Since finding Snowstar, Swiftleap has developed a deep connection with her. Within the first few nights together Swiftleap realized he had very deep feelings for his leader and would/will do anything for her. While the two have very different opinions they make a great team. Swiftleap finds himself feeling overly protective of the she-cat and wanting to spend every moment he can by her side.

It took many moons but soon enough Swiftleap had the courage - he asked Snowstar to be his mate. Snowstar, disappointingly told Swiftleap she'd "think" about it. Instantly, Swiftleap's heart was thrown back to that day with Petunia and Klondike - he gave up his dream of ever being with Snowstar. The only cat that would listen to any word he said was Thornblossom, the beautiful tortoiseshell who has done nothing but encourage Swiftleap to follow his heart. The tom is now conflicted.. follow his heart after Snowstar and refuse to give up on her? Or follow his heart that beckons like a love-sick apprentice after Thornblossom? The tom can't deny that he's been courting the darker she-cat since his heartbreak with Snowstar but who knows, maybe Snowstar will see the truth and come back to him? Would he be able to go back to her or is he too lost in Thornblossom already?

Personality ;
Timberfang is an acquired taste. Loud, bold, insanely confident and unafraid to parade any of these qualities. Timberfang is a large tom - probably the largest the clan will see in a long time - and to match his daunting size, is his enormous ego. The tom seems to think he could do anything! He, of course, can catch five mice in one day in the middle of leaf-bare. And, well duh, he could swim the river and get a least three fish with one paw. Foxes? He could fight off five while blinded and stuck against a tree! While he is a bit of an annoying tom it goes without saying that Timberfang is loyal from the tip of his tail all through his nose and claws. He'd lay his life down for anyone within the clan and while he'd never say it around them, he'd speak proudly of them all. The one thing Timberfang can't seem to grasp is love.. He may be a flirt himself but if a she-cat were to flirt with him he'd be dumbfounded and oblivious. Someone would have to point it out in front of his nose for the tom to put two and two together.

Timberfang is very sensitive to bullies and will lash out at any and all he encounters.

History ;
The first warrior to join Frostclan, he was found near the beginning of newleaf. Newleaf in the tundra is never without snow and Timberfang had been found trotting through the snow near the border when Snowstar offered him some help. Of course, he agreed - Starclan had sent him a dream to embrace his new name and seek out this Frostclan. When inquired about his past Timberfang usually just offers a shrug and his old name - Moose.

Moose grew up within a gang of city-dwelling rouges. Violent and unforgiving they were quick to pick up that Moose was a soft soul which led to the poor tom receiving a rather horrid position within the gang. He spent his kithood and most of his adult life cleaning up after thugs and watching them harass innocents. The entire time he was at the butt end of most jokes and when it came time for an angry venting, Moose was to be the punching bag.

So, of course, when Froststar visited Moose in his dream and asked him to pick a new name he chose Timberfang - Timber because he never swayed and Fang because he was awesome and the world needed to know it! Timberfang was quick to abandon the group of lazy, mangy rouges and set off for the tundra. He had a new life ahead of him and this time he wasn't going to be at the laughing end of the stick.

HIstory ;
Mothpaw, the first apprentice of Frostclan! She was found waiting for Snowstar outside of the main cave and said she was sent by the stars. She was given to Timberfang to be his apprentice and the two instantly hit it off. Mothpaw trained hard and soon eough she earned her warrior name - Mothfrost! She's the first apprentice to undergo the warrior assessment and she passed with flying colors.

Hawkpaw joined the clan while Mothfrost was still Mothpaw and while it took the two a while to grow close, Mothfrost is still very protective of the tom and considers him a good friend.
