Clans: SpruceClan, Golden Kingdom
Name of the Clan your cat/group is going to: Golden Kingdom
Which cat/group are you trying out for: Group 008 -- Oaktuft (Osprey's Beak), Morningpaw (Young Owl), Hawkpaw (Young Hawk)
How will this cat/group fit into your Clan?: Oaktuft and her kits travelled for what felt like an eternity, making their way out of the Twolegplace and into the wilderness that LaurelClan always steered clear of. It was a hard few weeks, after the fire. The trio had to learn how to survive in a brand-new environment, while still searching for somewhere new that they could call home. Morningpaw and Hawkpaw's sibling bickering made things harder still, but Oaktuft pressed onwards. More than anything, she wanted her kits to have the chance to finish growing up in a stable, happy environment. After nearly a moon's time on the road, they stumbled upon a massive castle on a hill. A cluster of unfamiliar but friendly cats met them there, welcoming the mother and her kits into their home like old friends. Sensing her opportunity, Oaktuft was quick to join their number and to request new mentors for Morningpaw and Hawkpaw. With a new name of Osprey's Beak, she watched as Morningpaw and Hawkpaw (now Young Owl and Young Hawk) slowly grew accustomed to the new way of life and bonded with the other cats their age. It was everything she'd ever hoped for for them. In the meantime, Osprey herself hardly had the chance to be lonely before the other Kingdom cats embraced her into their fold. In particular, the mother of two kits around the age of her own, Honeybee's Wing, caught her eye. While initially uncertain about Honeybee's sharp edges and cold demeanor, Osprey slowly got to know the softer side of the other knight; they bonded over parenthood and their pasts, and shared in training for the annual Tournament. Before she knew it, Hawk and Owl were becoming knights themselves, Osprey was mentoring her own squire, and Honeybee had become a permanent fixture in the little family's life. As Hawk and Owl heckled their mother gently, coaxing her to ask the other knight to become her mate, Osprey was certain of one thing: she'd never been so happy before.

Clans: SpruceClan, Golden Kingdom
Name of the Clan your cat/group is going to: SpruceClan
Which cat/group are you trying out for: Cypressfeather (Cypressheart)
How will this cat/group fit into your Clan?: Cypressfeather, with no mate and no family to speak of, set off alone after the dissolution of LaurelClan. It was easier that way, not having to worry about anyone else but himself. Lonely, but easy. Eventually, he found his way into the untouched wildnerness some ways away from the city LaurelClan called home before the fire. The mountains just beyond it were cold, much colder than anything the old territory ever threw his way, but with his thick fur, Cypressfeather could tolerate it. That was what drove him to the mountains, because surely, there wouldn't be anyone else to fight with for resources. What other cat would be crazy enough to live in the mountains? Cypressfeather did his best, but surviving there alone was no joke. He was just starting to consider returning to the Twolegplace when a group of unfamiliar clan cats stumbled apon his tiny hideaway in one of the caves at the mountain's base. The cats took one look at his protruding ribs, and before Cypressfeather could protest, dragged the older tom back to their home camp to nurse back to health. Being cared for again was surprisingly nice. He allowed their leader, Sparrowstar, to give him a new suffix after he'd recovered and joined SpruceClan's number out of gratitude, not quite willing to part with his full name but also looking to move on from his past. For the distinct white markings on his chest, Cypressfeather became known as Cypressheart. Cypressheart was somewhat intimidated by the sheer friendliness of these rugged mountain cats, so unlike the ones he was used to, but he eventually warmed to them and threw himself wholeheartedly into the clan's day-to-day. His wisdom earned him many friends, but none so close as Cricketpounce. The other tom, in need of a companion after several tragedies, quickly bonded with Cypressheart, and the duo became nearly inseparable.

Clans: SpruceClan, Golden Kingdom
Name of the Clan your cat/group is going to: Golden Kingdom
Which cat/group are you trying out for: Group 007 -- Adderstrike (Ferret's Claw), Mottledfur
How will this cat/group fit into your Clan?: When Adderstrike and Mottledfur set off on their own, they were expecting to be welcomed into one of their neighboring clans, and for life to continue on as (relatively) normally as possible. But after the fire, every rogue in Twolegplace was on edge, and both siblings were chased out of the city before they could even try to figure out where to head next. Lost, confused, and at the mercy of fate, all that Adderstrike and Mottledfur could do was keep on walking. Where to, they were uncertain, but there was surely someone out there that could help them out. Through forests and caves, over mountain passes and rivers swollen with floodwaters, the siblings trekked, hunting intermittently and snatching bits of sleep where they could. Their exhausting trip finally ended the day they stumbled upon a lush grassy plain, where a plucky little white cat jumped out to greet them. She introduced herself as Cloud's Drift and demanded stories of where they'd come from as she guided the weary travellers back to a massive castle resting atop one of the many rolling hills. Adderstrike and Mottledfur, happy to no longer need to travel, readily agreed to join this unconventional clan of sorts. Adder agreed to take on a new name, though Mottledfur was adamant that she keep her former title as a way to remember her past. Both warriors, now knights of the Kingdom, were now able to spend their days sharing stories of LaurelClan to curious listeners like Cloud, or going on hunts for pleasure, or even getting to know the other cats they now called clanmates. Mottledfur in particular becomes quite close to Jaggedscar, finding solace in another cat unwilling to let go of their clan roots, and to the mysterious River's Melody, while Ferret's Claw throws himself headfirst into becoming the best mentor possible to every single squire he can get his paws on.
