[kurashiki]

Willowmoon is an elderly off-white molly cat with eyes the color of dried leaves. Her fur, once silky, now hangs dry off of her frail frame. She has served nearly every role she could within her Clan, even as an interim deputy during a particularly tumultuous transition from its last leader to its next. Willowmoon is beloved by her kits and grandkits, who mean more to her than anything else. Her kits' father, however, resented her for fighting back after he hurt her. Willowmoon feels guilty because she's felt safer within Clan bounds after his passing.

Who is Dawnpaw?

[CHINARIZING]

Dawnpaw was born as the single surviving kit in a litter, at the break of dawn. His siblings Nightkit and Sunkit unfortunately saw StarClan within the first quarter moon. As a result, Dawnpaw was spoiled with love and affection by his mother and father. However, he was also forced to bear witness to the many nights where his mother cried and days where he'd curl up next to and lick his father after a hunting trip. Before even apprenticeship, he had to be responsible for his own feeding and learning about Clan life. Now, as an apprentice, he is stressed and lonesome, prioritizing becoming a warrior before all else.

Who is Mangledclaw?

[Kazin]

Mangledclaw is an elder of her clan, a brown and ginger she-cat with dark stripes littering her pelt. She has pale green eyes that many find unsettling, the apprentices and kits often telling stories about her intimidating stare. She is among the oldest in her clan now, and lived life as a strong warrior despite an injury at the end of her apprenticeship that crushed one of her front paws and earned her a name change, a name she wore like a badge of honor, enjoying when cats would underestimate her. She was known as one of the best fighters in her clan, training many apprentices to fight. Her previous name, given to her by her mother who died soon after she became an apprentice, was Maplepaw - a family name Mangledclaw never really liked.

now solarpaw, he began his apprenticeship under pebblestar herself. despite his kittypet origins, he was a fast learner in hunting and fighting, and quickly dispelled the beliefs that he would never be a true warrior. he often spent time with birdpaw and her friends, acornpaw and rootpaw, and cheered their names the loudest when they earned their warrior names: birdsong, acornheart, and rootclaw. it felt like forever before solarpaw could earn his warrior name, but he did, becoming solarflight.

a few moons after receiving his warrior name, birdsong approached solarflight, asking him if he would like to become mates with her. surprised, confused, and flattered, solarflight told her gently that he appreciated her friendship deeply, but wasn't interested in a relationship. birdsong was heartbroken, but understood. she and rootclaw would become mates later in life, and solarflight was more than happy for them. solarflight would go on to mentor two apprentices, ashpaw and puddlepaw, both of whom became fine warriors for skyclan. in his elder years, solarflight passed away after a bout of greencough swept through camp, and he was welcomed warmly into starclan.

who is leafshade?

[Lapis Lizzuli]

leafshade is a brown tabby she-cat with a white belly and paws, and yellow eyes. due to her troubled past, she takes a cynical approach to life and is blunt and distrustful in nature. however, given enough patience and time, her tough outer shell gives way to respect and loyalty.

leafshade was born to meadowmist of windclan and reedwhisper of riverclan. she was named after a leaf that had drifted into meadowmist's nest after she'd kitted. she had two siblings, rushkit and breezekit. her parents, young and foolish in their love, weren't prepared to raise a family. in their desperation to salvage their reputations, meadowmist took rushkit and breezekit back to windclan while reedwhisper took his only daughter to riverclan. however, the riverclan leader was unforgiving and banished both of them from the clan. reedwhisper had no choice but to go to windclan and beg them to let him and leafkit in. begrudingly, they did.

even in her childhood, leafkit and her siblings knew something wasn't right about them. the looks other cats would give her and her father were cold and distrustful. her parents' relationship soured over time, putting a strain on their family. leafkit knew she couldn't depend on her parents, so she turned to rushkit and breezekit--the three of them were thick as thieves. at six moons old, leafpaw was apprenticed to snowstalk, who true to his name, was cold towards her. because of her half-clan lineage, he believed her to be a mistake. he still trained her, but held her at a distance and never gave praise. it was practically a miracle that leafpaw managed to get her warrior name, becoming leafshade.

while on a hunting patrol, leafshade encountered a riverclan she-cat, ripplestripe. she was kind and funny, and though they were from different clans, they struck up a friendship. leafshade found herself waiting by the border to see her, and sought her out during every gathering. she soon realized that the feelings she harbored were romantic, but she swore she wouldn't repeat her parents' mistakes. ripplestripe soon found a tom she loved and settled down with a family, and the two drifted apart. in the end, leafshade lived a long life in windclan, mentoring a few apprentices and secretly coddling her nieces and nephews. she served and protected her clan until her last breath.

Who's blazingtrail?

[houndjaw]

blazingtrail is the patron saint of good travel and sense of adventure. when wanderlust carries a cat far from home, they call upon the blessings of blazingtrail to help bring them to their destination.

while the spoken tongue only recalls him for his ventures past the clan territories and hospitality with outsiders, he was once a fine warrior in days of old. his pelt, bright orange with tabby markings, is a trite nursery tale that young orange toms may follow in with blazingtrail's curious nature. he was known to travel the territories far and wide, fending off creature and cat alike, finding friends everywhere he traveled.

his legacy has become muddled over time, his bloodline watered down through the generations. But his spirit remains strong with those young and old, and is even fiercer in those looking for adventure.
