[Chanceuxcat]

Happy international cat day!
I wanted to make you all a cat to celebrate but... I'm not quite sure who they are. Please tell me!
This is a character competition - you will tell me the cat's name, gender, rank, age, what they look like (you can use images or give a rough description, please don't only give an exact coat type!), personality, etc!

This comp may be perfect if you have a rough idea for a character you'd love to be apart of your clan - but please don't make things too specific and leave some wiggle room for my interpretation!

Ends August 12th at CS rollover (12th to 13th)

[Goatmom]

Username: Goatmom
Cat Name: Pineroot
Gender: male
Rank: Elder
Clan: Grove Clan
Age: 76 moons
Prompt:

Pineroot, despite his age, was not born in the old clan like Owlstar and Redthistle but instead was an old farm cat that helped lead Owlstar and the others through the farm and neighboring twoleg place safely so they could reach the territory Grove Clan now calls home.

He was already an older tom when he met the homeless band that became Grove Clan. Even so he spent several moon helping them set up camp and mediated between the clan and the kittypets and farm cats that border the clan.

When he reached 70 moons he finally agreed to retire and now spends most of his days sharing tales from his time on the farm with the kits of the clan. He especially loves when Swallowflight does sound effects to his storys as the young tom reminds him of his late mate who passed away at the farm about a year before he joined Grove Clan.

He is a mostly kind cat but tends to get caught up in his storys and becomes wistful and withdrawn. Usually the kits or Swallowflight can break him out of it pretty quick though.

(Now for appearance)
I'd like you to imagine a little old farmer. The type of guy that brings the neighbors veggies and eggs in exchange for help in the garden since his back "ain't what it use to be". Let that be the vibe for his possible appearance.

Cat Name: Sturgeon
Gender: Tomcat
Rank: Cabin Cat
Clan: Howling of the seas
Age: 2 years 3 moons
Prompt:
Sturgeon is named after the White Sturgeon, and his looks would be very loosely based off of it too!! Personality wise he's nervous but standoffish to strangers, hesitant to try new things, and he gets jealous very easily. He's the adopted son of Cyclades!!!
(I've written a bit about him here!!)

[Four Sword]

Username: Sha the Sheep
Cat Name: Smewflight
Gender: tom (he/him)
Rank: Hunter/messenger (when fast swimming is needed)
Clan: Clan of the Sea Breeze
Age: 27 moons
Prompt: Guy whose coat is inspired by the noble yet humble smew; I'd love if he could have the like... facemask/hair but the rest can be whatever. Guy who is known as a swimmer and takes to the ocean like... well like a duck to the water! he loves swimming and is one of the fastest at swimming in the clan, even if he's slower than some of the other messengers on land, so if they need a message delivered to the mainland shores he's the cat they turn to. Otherwise he's one of the best at swimming in the ocean to hunt. As with the smew he is noble yet humble and he does his duty diligently and without expectation of praise, even as he goes above and beyond the call of a simple hunter sometimes.

Cat Name: blackfire
Gender: tom
Rank: the holy
Clan: shallowclan
Age: 57 moons
Prompt:
defined as a great protector and even greater healer, blackfire is the backbone of the clan. a silent keeper of peace and the direct connection to their ancestors.
as for his looks, he's quite the catch with an air of sternness about him that makes him a bit intimidating, like a mountain shadowed by the night. fur the color of the well known black vulture that flies about the island from time to time, accompanied by eyes that burn into the soul and would break any cats gaze. though most would be afraid, shallowclan stands behind him in union and protection.

Username: KittyandCat
Cat Name: Moosewish
Gender: she-cat
Rank: warrior
Clan: SpringClan
Age: 30 moons
Prompt:

🍃🪶🍀🦌🌿

xxxThe moose. An animal of great significance to SpringClan; the large beast was rarely seen in the clan’s thickly forested home. When it was seen, it was considered and omen. What sort of omen depended on the cat you asked- some members of the clan would tell you the moose, despite it’s terrifying size, was gentle. Others would assure you it’s strength was dangerous. Many feared the creature, whether they claimed it to be a reflection of the forest, thriving, or a warning of danger. And yet, very few had even seen the beast in question.
xxxBeing such a large part of the clan’s culture, the moose’s name was also considered significant. As such, Moosewish was looked upon expectantly. After all, a cat deemed worthy of the prefix moose must be something special. The she-cat was the result of a code-breaking litter; the daughter of a previous medicine cat. Cats had whispered about the scandal just out of sight all throughout her kithood, stopping only briefly at her mother’s passing. Questions had always flitted around her, just out of earshot- or perhaps out of reach, about the events around her birth. Most of all, about what it meant if a medicine cat, the cat with the strongest understanding of omens, had named her kit after the clan’s returning one.
xxxMoosewish herself wanted answers more than any other cat. What had she ever done to deserve a name so large? Had she mewled a bit louder than her littermates? Been more demanding at meal time? She desperately wished she had answers, not only for herself, but to ease the constant, burning gaze of her clanmates’ eyes on her pelt. She didn’t want to be deemed ‘special’, to have their expectations thrust onto her from the moment she opened her eyes. She didn’t want to disappoint them. And yet she didn’t have a choice. Many days she spent her free time in the forest, hoping to encounter the- or maybe a moose, whether there were multiple she didn’t know. Hoping it would relieve some of her questions.
xxxMany of these days, at least one of her littermates would visit her at least once. They urged her not to let her clanmates’ expectations get to her, not to let herself and her life waste away waiting for a creature who might never show up. In the back of her mind, Moosewish knew her littermates also suffered the curse of her name. Her mother’s code-breaking mistake was often forgiven when it came to Moosewish, but for her siblings, it was a different story. Not only that, but the clan’s high expectations of her often leaked over to her littermates, but with heightened ferocity. Why weren’t they the ones named after the clan’s legendary moose? Surely, this meant they must not have been good enough.
xxxAnd for this, for herself, her clan, and her littermates, Moosewish had come to the conclusion that she must never stop waiting, searching for the moose.

Cat Name: Vendetta
Gender: DMAB
Rank: Archbishop
Clan: The Citadel
Age: 7 yrs old
Prompt: Great Horned Owl -- Image credit to Keith French Photography,, The only things I'd like to request are 1) unique ears to allude to Great Horned Owls' "horns" and 2) a mature/stoic sort of vibe... other than that, go wild! : ) I would love to see this boy come alive.

[LittleMaple]

Username: LittleMaple
Cat Name: Star That Shoots Through The Night Sky/Starfall
Gender: no gender! all pronouns but prefers it/they/he
Rank: Lost One (Revived)
Clan: Aetherclan
Age: 1 year when brought back to life, ??? when dead
Prompt: A cat with a pelt that seems to reflect the stars with how silvery white it is. When it looks at you, you swear you see both of your lives flash before you. Its eyes pierce through you with a bright blue light and you turn away. You feel fear for a moment before its eyes soften and it looks at you with a new love. You're confused, how did it switch so easily? It laughs and walks away, calling for you to follow. Its steps are so soft, the snow barely dents. When you finally ask what they are, they seem to become somber. "I used to be like you, young and free, but I was cursed to be mortal. When I died, I was stuck as a Lost One, a spirit unable to move on. I begged Starclan to bring me back, so I could prove myself to them that could do good in the world. They were merciful and agreed, as long as I was good on my word. I was reborn, thrown into the world as a rogue."

"I've been working hard to prove myself ever since... but I feel like I'm doing something wrong.." Their face becomes sad and downcast as they finish their story, and they look to you.

"Tell me, young one, am I a good cat? Good enough to be worthy of Starclan? I want to know how to be good..."

Username: Griff
Cat Name: Firefur
Gender: Female
Rank: TBD
Clan: Clan Ember
Age: 13 Moons
Prompt: A young spitfire of a cat, they were born with the strange ability to control fire! Magic is new to their world, and as such this alarmed many and caused her to be abandoned at a very young age. A loner with MANY scars, she is fierce, determined, with a coat that reminds everyone of the fire she wields.
