Cat Name: foxflower
Gender: female
Rank: warrior
Clan: roseclan link in sig
Age: 3 years
Prompt:

TLDR: the sister led foxflower to Spidermask in the form of a cricket

Foxflower sat beside the ocean of wisdom. Her tail hanging over the edge as she imagined water from seasons ago pulling at it gently like an overly affectionet kit.
Foxflower sighed to herself. It was her warrior vigil and she knew the rules about speaking so she would remain quiet. But while her lips never moved her, mind raced with things she wish she could say. This wasnt a normal warrior vigil, it was also the vigil for her sister. Her best friend.
As she sat in the cool night air gazing into the oceans sparkling surface and picked up a stone and dropped it down the bank so when it hit the other stones an audible "tink" could be heard.
That wasnt the only sound however. There was another...more erratic sound. Foxflower followed the sound until she found a little cricket. Its leg caught on a spiders web tugging fiercly to free itself. Foxflower watched for a few heart beats before deciding to help.
The cricket fell limp at her touch as if she had scared the life right out of it. After it realized though that it was safe it hopped away.
Foxflower had the strangest feeling that she should follow the little cricket so she let it lead on.
The little cricket led her back to the ocean of wisdom. Seeing it again foxflower felt her heart ache once again. There was nothing special about this bug. Just the foolish wishes of a kit.
But as she turned away the cricket jumped onto the rocks and in place of the cricket the form of a cat appeared. Foxflower felt tears stinging her eyes and raced forward to greet her deceased sister. Rubbing her cheek along her jaw and breathing in her scent.
Foxflower was about to speak; completely forgetting she was on vigil when he sister waved her brown tail tip over her mouth as a reminder. The two she cats stared at eachother in silence until her sister waved for foxflower to follow her gaze.
There upon a hill over looking the ocean of wisdom was Spidermask. A fellow young warrior. Foxflower was confused why Spidermask would be there and decided to go find out.
Foxflower sat beside Spidermask and looked at her questioningly. Spidermask must have understood and began telling foxflower of how her brother had also died before she was made a warrior. Foxflower felt pitty but also understanding and relief. This was a she-cat who understood her pain. Once the vigil was over foxflower would let her know she understood. But until then spidermask rambled on while foxflower leaned against her listening intently.

Gender: tom
Rank: sapling
Clan: the groves
Age: 18 moons
Prompt: growing up clay could be found chatting away in the elders den. his best friend was the oldest elder of the tribe, clay loved hearing the stories they told, rambling on and on about their life. clay would make it a note to visit them each morning and evening to check in and talk about both of their days. since they were the only elder clay made it a point to interact with them and sometimes bring them things that he found during training. most of the other saplings didn't quiet understand clays affinity with the elder, though they didn't bother him about it much.

Cat Name: Blaze
Gender: Male
Rank: Loner
Clan: Whovian5eva
Age: 1 year (real young gal)
Prompt:
Blaze is a Loner but she frequently bothers Craterclan, always hanging around and causing mischief. And who better to be your partner in crime other than a friend from the sky! Coal is an Australian black falcon and he  is just as mischievous as Blaze. He saw how good she was at tricking the clan cats, and he decided he wanted in. Now they're the dynamic duo of trickery.
Trickery and mischief is their jam. But at the end of the day deep down they wouldn't hurt a fly...
(they might prank it though)

Cat Name: Asahi, "sunlight"
Gender: Male
Rank: Listener
Clan: Nelend
Age: 2 years
Prompt: At Asahi's birth, nothing went the way it should've. Although the young kit was born traditionally, in the kitting den with his immediate family and the chief of healing, he did not bond automatically to any cat. As moons past, he was still not connecting "correctly" to his mother, father, or even his big sister Misaki. The entire clan was in an uproar- what kind of curse did this kit bring to the clan? They tried everything to get him to recognise his family as family, instead of as complete strangers. But nothing was working. Asahi and his family almost left the clan due to the shame thy felt, and the young kit was subject to feeling like he had let everyone down. He became extremely upset, until one day, months after his birth, something finally clicked. He met a baby iguana, who seemed just as lost as he. No family, no friends. It was left to fend for itself- a dangerous task in the volcanic mountain ranges. Unlike other iguana, this one was calm and not territorial. Asahi could approach it with ease, and the two bonded over similar experiences. Since that day, Asahi and his iguana companion have been inseparable. It also gave Asahi a sense of family for the first time. He can now relate to his actual family, especially his sister Misaki, who ironically does not get along with the iguana. Maybe she's just a little jealous that her little brother gets along with a reptile more than her?

Cat Name: garfield
Gender: tom
Rank: gather
Clan: hollowed guild
Age: twenty two moons
Prompt:
garfield met their best friend littlehop on a hunting patrol. it honestly was not supposed to happen as littlehop should not have been accepted into the guild and garfield should have not befriended this guild member. it was a rare site to see littlehop on the guild’s central territory, and it got garfield curious as to why and tried to befriend the scared littlehop. he brought her food and gave her shelter until she was ready to come to the camp.

being the cat garfield is, the entire guild was confused at to how he brought a rabbit back to camp with him perfectly alive and willing and trusting to be around cats that would easily eat her. he offered the rabbit littlepaw as a new trainee for the medics, much to the amusement of his fellow guild members, in order to find and gather herbs in hard to reach places. cats laughed at the idea but when he showed off the skill he taught it of finding objects he hid, medics seemed to like the offer if it met keeping brambles and thorns off their pelts. and, it worked and the two remained ever close with littlehop often following him around the clearing and being groomed by him. he gathered plants for littlehop to eat and planted some of it in the gather’s garden. they spent most of their free time together regardless of what garfield thought.

then, something happened and it was really unfortunate tha- and, they don’t talk about that. now, he is best friends with littlehop’s offspring littlehop jr.

Cat Name: Manakin
Gender: male
Rank: Hunter
Clan: Lé'echékyo
Age: 18 moons
Prompt:

Manakin makes his first friend deep in the jungle when the rest of his Unit isn’t watching.

“Hi,” he says, voice embarrassingly shaky. “I’m sorry I woke you up, but I’m lonely.”

The bird — it was supposed to be a bird, even if it’s a bit off — cocks its head, pins Manakin down with those lifeless eyes, those beady, lifeless eyes of its.

Manakin isn’t scared. Why would he be? The bird is his own creation. He’s just nervous, admitting his lack of friends aloud. No one likes feeling insecure.

“You don’t need to eat, do you?” he asks, though he already knows the answer. The bird is bound to his own lifeforce. When he dies, it’ll die too, finally allowed to rest.

Manakin should really feel bad about reanimating a corpse to be his best friend, but he’s not. A slightly dead bird is better than shadows, and much better than an actual, living cat — especially in the infamous Clan of Broken Pieces, living and breathing friends are dangerous. Loyalty is nigh-impossible to come by these days, and all that.

When the young tom returns to the Base with an odd-looking, lifeless club-winged manakin perched on upon his shoulder, no one spares him a second glance.

“Found your soulmate, huh, Manakin?” his Summoner, the Unit’s leader, teases, and Manakin just flicks his tail — a cat’s version of a shrug.

“It can chirp, sort of,” he shares. Sort of, because it sounds more like something being strangled, but, “Better than speaking to the shadows.”

The Summoner nods in agreement. “A dead bird does make a better companion than Death.”
