ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀɪsᴛɪᴄs;
laurelclan is a generally peaceful clan. the cats are kind, and find that life is much easier if there was no violence. they take in about any stranger that is seeking shelter, and will often welcome them into the clan if they find that they are kind-hearted. this makes the clan very diverse, with different looks and skills. all laurelclan cats are loyal and believe in starclan. their friendliness means that they are quite easy to take advantage of. their trust in other cats is very strong and the clan is often seen as 'weak' by others.

ᴛʀᴀᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴs;
♢ laurelclan is very close to starclan and kits are told about them from the moment they open their eyes. almost all cats are quite spiritual and believe the signs and prophecies that starclan shares with them.
♢ forbidden romances are seen as one of the worst things a clan cat could do. if found, the parents will be exiled and they have the choice to take their kits with them or leave them to grow up in the clan.
♢ the leader and the medicine cat are held in high regard for they are the closest to starclan.
♢ many cats dislike going to Dark Trees because many foxes nest there and they feel confined by the many plants, but it does yield decent prey

ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴀᴍᴘ;
the camp is surrounded by various bushes, including a few laurel shrubs. this undergrowth hides the camp from view. the dens are dents or craters dug out by the cats. their nests are filled with grass and possibly leaves, if a cat brings some from Dark Trees. the nests of the leader and medicine cat are also lined with feathers.
ɴᴏʀᴛʜ;
there is a more vegitated area northeast of the camp, with large bushes, thickets, and several trees. some cats go there to hunt and apprentices learn to climb there. the clan has named it Dark Trees.
sᴏᴜᴛʜ;
near the edge of laurelclan's territory in the southeast, there is a large, unnaturally shiny rock that they call Shine Rock. apprentices train here with their mentors.
ᴇᴀsᴛ;
the east is covered in soft grass, and is a great place for apprentices to learn to hunt. the moor is filled with many mice and rabbits that are easy to catch.
ᴡᴇsᴛ;
in the west, a stream goes through the territory not too far from camp, providing the clan with a great supply of water.
there are no clans currently sharing a border with laurelclan.

during each training session, an apprentice learns one skill. after he has learned the basic skills, he can choose which skill he wishes to learn next. if the skill requires the medicine cat, he must wait until the medicine cat is free.
basic skills are hunting and fighting.
skills requiring the medicine cat are basic herb identification and basic healing.
other skills are climbing, stealth, tracking, agility, endurance, strategizing, and diplomacy.

future ideas / plots
× mental struggle of liking the med cat vs following starclan with russetstar
× adderflight and crowfur have kits and truly love each other
× when russetstar and hickorylight are old, they become loners together and are mates
× maybe a motherless kit is found and russetstar and hickorylight kinda take care of it
× birchstripe has kits with rainclaw but he loves littlestep

russetstar blinked a few times as his eyes got used to the dim light in the cave. he couldnt believe that he was going to be the leader of a new clan. laurelclan. he padded onward, each pawstep creating a small sound as his pad made contact with the cool stone. i will lead this clan to the best of my abilities. i will take care of my clan. a silent breeze ruffled russetstar's fur as he approached the sacred moonpool. starclan? is that you? russetstar closed his eyes, breathing in the musty air around him. he was totally devoted to starclan, and would do anything they asked of him. he trusted them 100%. they shall guide me in my journey. the brown-furred tom leaned down and touched his nose to the icy water. "starclan. i thank you for giving us a second chance. i will try my hardest to fulfill your wishes and lead a great clan. i trust you and put all of my faith into you. my clan shall be based on principles such as love and faith. as long as laurelclan is faithful to you, i know we will persevere through whatever we may come across." russetstar paused, silently thanking starclan. "i come humbly to ask for a deputy that i can confide in and will help me begin laurelclan's journey. thank you, starclan, for all you have done."

@moonpool; russetstar asks for a deputy

On his way back from the Moonpool, Russetstar decided to patrol his territory and mark his borders. The tom hadn't taken the time to do this when he settled in the territory so he thought it was a good idea to set some scent markers down so other cats would know this territory belonged to somebody.

The scent markers didn't seem to work though because Russetstar scented a kittypet in his territory as he made his way back to camp. The closer he got to his camp, the stronger the scent was. By the time he reached the camp entrance, the kittypet smell filled his nose.

"What are you doing?" Russetstar demanded upon seeing a long-legged cat standing in the middle of Laurelclan's camp.

"I was told you needed me." The cat mewed, lashing it's tail.

i looked at the long-legged cat, hesitant. they were told I needed them? it couldnt be ... my deputy? i flicked my tail, nodding at the cat. i sent a thanks to starclan before walking up to greet my first clan member.
"i am russetstar, the leader of laurelclan. and i assume you are my deputy?"
"i am," the she-cat meowed. "my name is adderflight. itsa pleasure to meet you, russetstar."
"the same for you, adderflight." i looked around at the near-empty camp, realizing that laurelclan had a long way to go. our journey was just beginning. "i think it would be best if i were to look for potential clanmates​." adderflight nodded, clawing at the grass. she was obviously itching to do something. i was just about to open my mouth when she suggested that she should go hunting.
"yes, that seems like a good idea. we'll meet back at the camp?"
"sure," the blue-eyed cat said before racing off. i chuckled a bit before heading off myself. she sure is something. i could tell that adderflight would be a good deputy. you could see the determination in her. i enjoyed the sun that warmed my pelt as i walked. it was a bit surprising that i didnt feel anxious or worried about the future. i was responsible for the future of a whole clan, after all. i supposed that'll come later. better enjoy the peace while it lasts.
i breathed in the fresh air as i walked through the territory. a small breeze blew past, ruffling my light brown fur. i looked around, keeping my eyes open for any prey that might be near. i was rather excited to be the deputy of laurelclan. the fact that starclan trusted me with the responsibility of one day having to lead the clan was an honor. the leader, russetstar, seemed like a good cat. he was laid back, a little too much for my liking, but there was something about him that made me know that he would lead his clan well.

@border patrol; russetstar looks for cats
@hunting patrol; adderflight hunts in the moor

"Psst!"

Russetstar freezes slightly, looking around in alarm.

"Hey! Over here!"

The dark russet leader peered around carefully, the fur along his spine bristling when he finally noticed the wide amber eyes gazing out of the undergrowth at him. "What do you want?"

The amber eyes blinked a few times before the black cat finally stepped out of the undergrowth. "I've been watching your Clan for a few days, I would like to join."

i looked at the black she-cat as she stepped closer, slightly surprised at her statement. she had been watching our clan and we haven't any idea? come to think of it, she was pretty hidden. if she hadn't made her presence known, i probably wouldn't have walked right by the amber-eyed cat without noticing her. she could very well have been watching laurelclan and we would've had no clue. i nodded, admiring her stealth.
"you wish to join laurelclan?" the small cat nodded. "well, you are free to stay with the clan for a few days. you can join if we see that you are kind and that your faith is in starclan. it's just a caution, you see. laurelclan is to be a caring clan that relies on starclan for advice." the young cat nodded again as i explained myself.
"okay. thank you, uhm . . . i don't think i got your name."
"oh, it's russetstar."
"okay. well, thank you, russetstar, for welcoming me." i nodded, and we walked back to camp. hopefully, adderflight had caught some prey and we could all sit down and get to know each other while eating.

i walked into camp and dropped the prey on the fresh-kill pile, looking around to see that russetstar had not yet returned. hopefully, he found someone to join laurelclan. they needed all the clan members they could get. i sat down, bathing myself while waiting for the leader. it wasn't long before a red-furred tom and an amber-eyed she-cat walked into camp. i stood, greeting them both.
"hello, russetstar. i see you found a potential clan member." he nodded, glancing at the small, black cat beside him.
"yes. she has been watching the clan and wishes to join."
"well, welcome. you guys hungry? there's plenty of prey to go around."
we sat around, eating and making small talk. afterwards, i pulled russetstar to the side to talk about going to the moonpool.
"so, russetstar, are you​ going to travel to the moonpool?"
"yes, although I'm not sure what i should ask starclan for. we don't have a medicine cat, but is that asking for too much? i already received a deputy . . . perhaps ill just ask for a warrior."
"russetstar, i think you should ask for a medicine cat. we need one. i don't think starclan will mind. i mean, you're just doing what's best for your clan." i could tell that the leader was debating about what to do. i glanced back to where the black cat was sitting. "we already have one promising clanmate. i think we should make her a warrior. she seems nice and we can teach her about starclan." russetstar nodded.
"she seems like a good cat. i will have a ceremony to announce her warrior name when i get back. for now, i will travel to the moonpool and ask starclan to give me whatever cat they feel my clan needs." i nodded, still thinking that we should have a medicine cat but ultimately agreeing with russetstar's decision to consult starclan.
"okay. are you going to tell her of your decision to make her a warrior?"
"yes, i shall do that before i go."

i looked down at the ground, waiting for the two cats to finish speaking to each other. russetstar approached me and i stood, nodding at the red-furred tom.
"yes?"
"me and adderflight have talked it over, and we have both agreed that you seem like you would be a great warrior to laurelclan. i can't hold your naming ceremony now, for i must travel to the moonpool, but when i return, you will have a proper welcome."
"thank you." i said. "until then, you guys can call me little." russetstar nodded.
"well, little, i must go."
"have a safe trip."
"thank you. goodbye, adderflight. i will see you tomorrow."
"may starclan light your path," the blue-eyed cat said as the leader left camp.
i walked up to adderflight, the she-cat nodding at me.
"uh, is it alright if i hunt?" i asked.
"yes, of course. i suppose ill go out on a border patrol, look for any cats to recruit." i nodded, saying a goodbye before heading off into the moor to look for prey.

@hunting patrol; little hunts in the moor
@border patrol; adderflight looks for cats
@moonpool; russetstar asks for a random cat
@clan; an ermine was consumed

Adderflight looked at the silver tabby from the corner of her eye as she led it back to camp. Russetstar had requested a cat from the Moonpool nearly a moon ago and nobody had shown up. The deputy was a little surprised but happy when she found a young cat at the border while she was on her patrol. She found it odd that Starclan could send the Clan new cats but decided it was best to bring the cat back with her to camp anyway.

i sat in my den, thoughts running through my mind. the clan was growing and seemed to be doing well. was their faith in starclan strong? i wasn't sure but hoped it was. i worried about our relationship with our starry ancestors, for it had been a month since i traveled to the moonpool and we haven't received a cat yet. was i losing faith in starclan? i dont think i am ... did we do something that they didn't like? i shook my head, frustrated that i didn't have the answer.
instead, i turned my attention to ash, the young tom that adderflight found while she was on patrol. i decided he was a good cat and it was time to give him his new name and a mentor. littlestep was quite young, and quiet as well. adderflight seemed like the best choice as a mentor for the tom. she was wise and would teach him well. also, she would know how to handle the energetic cat.
i walked out of my den, glancing at the sky above. it was dusk, and the sun cast beautiful colors as it set. it didn't take long for adderflight to notice that i wanted to speak to her, and she headed towards me.
"yes, russetstar?"
"adderflight, i believe it is time to make ash an apprentice," i said. adderflight nodded in agreement. "i was wondering if you would like to be his mentor."
"i would love to have an apprentice," the she-cat said, her eyes filled with delight. "are we going to have the ceremony right now?"
"i don't see why not." adderflight nodded and left, her tail held high in happiness. i stood up as well, exiting my den and heading over to the laurel bush where the ceremonies were held.
"all cats of laurelclan old enough to catch their own prey gather around to for a meeting." littlestep and ash walked over, their ears pricked up in interest. i blinked, looking at my small clan before glancing up at starclan. "ash," i said, addressing the silver tom. "you have proved to us that you are worthy of becoming a part of laurelclan. please step forward." the young cat did so, his tail quivering in excitement. i nodded at him before continuing my speech. "it is time for you to become an apprentice. from this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as quickpaw. your mentor will be adderflight. i hope that she will pass down all she knows on to you. adderflight, please step forward." the deputy padded toward her new apprentice and stood next to him. "adderflight, you are ready to take on an apprentice. you are an excellent deputy, and you have shown yourself to be selfless and loyal. you will be the mentor of quickpaw and i expect you to pass on all you know to him."
adderflight and quickpaw touch noses, symbolizing the connection they now have. i go up to them, greeting the new apprentice and congratulating him. littlestep does the same and the clan eats together before going to sleep for the night.
the morning came quickly and we each went our separate ways to complete our duties. quickpaw and adderflight go to Shine Rock, where the apprentice learns his first skill. littlestep decides to go hunting in the moor. i choose to patrol the border, searching for any cats as i do.

@ceremonies; little is given her warrior name, littlestep

Adderflight and Quickpaw were making their way back to camp when they spotted Russetstar and a long-haired spotted silver cat hurrying towards them. "Hey." Russetstar mewed, slowing down next to Adderflight. "Has Littlestep returned yet?"

"We saw Littlestep heading back earlier." Adderflight mewed. Russetstar nodded before looking at the new addition.

"I found this one at the border saying that they were looking for their littermate, Little."
