the cats of smokeclan have received their name from their territory. the heart of their territory is noted to be dark and troublesome to outsiders as the forest had suffered a fire moons ago and never truly bounced back. in fact, the camp is located at the site of the fire, with the clan cats living among the burned and hollowed trunks of fallen trees. the leader of smokeclan addresses the others from a cropping of rocks, in which their den is located. the greenest and freshest portions of the camp are the nursery - constructed around a sapling where kits are first introduced to climbing - and the medicine cat's den. the surrounding territory branches out from the camp, growing progressively less effected by the fire as it goes. prey in smokeclan territory consists mostly of fish from streams of water throughout the land, mice, and several species of birds. their territory also can grow foggy at night, and when the ash from the fire mixes with the fog in the air at night, it is said that it closely resembles smoke, giving the clan its name.
the cats of smokeclan usually do not have light-colored fur and are more often black or shades of gray. their skills are often seen through their affinity for climbing, finding prey when it seems most scarce, and a generally sharp wit. though they are welcome to taking in outsiders who swear loyalty to the clan and only the clan, it is not often that they are seen to play well with other clans, preferring to stick to the outside and watch. their hostility is not open, but they are a composed groups of cats, trusting only when they have reason to. cats of smokeclan use the darkness to their advantage, focusing on tracking when apprentices as a primary skill that one must know to advance. when in a fight, smokeclan cats are known to use divide and conquer methods of attack and often refuse to fight on open areas of land. a smokeclan leader is often chosen for an ability of being able to hold a straight face and see through lies over most else, while also not being the toughest to get along with, for the sake of getting along with bordering clans.
