Cats of Tideclan

some fun facts -- 

I shipped Dawnclaw & Falconblaze wayyyy back when I was still playing Webstar in Untold Tales, and they were still apprentices. they autonomously became mates in Sims & I couldnt be happier

if I remember correctly Dawnclaw was originally from Shadowclan, and joined Tideclan back in the forest territories

Larkshine & Flaxkit are the only surviving daughters of Dawnclaw & Falconblaze currently, all of the other three suffered unfortunate deaths, all because of randomized rolls

Larkshine & Thrushskip were mates briefly before the death of the latter, but it wasn’t ‘officially’ mentioned

the first and only family tree to have an in-game third gen, all because Owlpaw had a mate & kits way too young

I briefly considered having Owlpaw reincarnated as one of her sons but decided against it -- AU material?

Snowstar was originally from Shadowclan and joined Tideclan back in the forest territories

some fun facts -- 

Topazmoon was a kittypet before she joined Tideclan. her name used to be Snowy, but that was mentioned previously on the blog. her original clan name was Featherpaw but that was changed considering Dawnclaw & Falconblaze’s late kit, Featherkit

Cedarpath used to be a Windclan member. he joined Tideclan in the old forest and made the journey across the mountains with them. I’ve since lost his parentage so it’s up in the air

Meadowstar used to be a loner who happened across the forest territories and decided to give it a go. look at her now

Marshkit, Spiderkit, & Apricotkit aged up in-game before I lost my files, but I lost the screencaps. so technically theyre apprentices now

Floodclan was going to be a newly introduced clan but since I lost all my progress I figure I can introduce them now. its formed from Cedarpath’s and Topazmoon’s exile from Tideclan, as well as some curious kittypets

Meadowstar & Cedarpath are ex-mates, their kits are Cometpaw, Sweetpaw, & Spottedpaw

Topazmoon & Cedarpath are ex-mates, their kits are Marshpaw, Spiderpaw, & Apricotpaw

“How dare you!” The leader screeched at her deputy, her fur on end. “I know what you’ve done, you foxheart --”

Cedarpath flinched, flattening himself to the ground. His mouth opened as if to speak, but no words came out.

“What do you have to say for yourself?” Meadowstar hissed, now standing over him, her claws extended and digging into the soil.

“I-I’m sorry.” Cedarpath choked, staring at the short grass in front of his face.

Most of the clan had gathered by now, staring with wide eyes at the scene unfolding in the middle of camp. Flowerscar stepped forward warily. “Meadowstar?”

The Tideclan leader whipped her head toward the medicine cat’s voice, but soon calmed, her pelt smoothing somewhat. Looking around, she noticed her clan gathered around her in a loose circle, and sighed. “I apologize, I didn’t mean to make a scene.” She stepped away from the deputy, and her eyes fixed on him once again, her still-seeing eye fiery.

Cedarpath stood again, though unsteadily. “I’m sorry.” He repeated, still avoiding the mollie’s gaze.

“Leave.” Meadowstar growled, her tail lashing back and forth. “Don’t come back to Tideclan unless you want your ears ripped off.”

The deputy’s head snapped up, meeting her eyes with his mouth agape. “I -”

“Save your excuses.” The leader hissed. “If I were not so merciful, you would be joining our ancestors.”

“Wait,” Topazpaw stepped toward them, brushing her three kits to her side with her tail. “I’ll be going as well.”

Meadowstar’s expression darkened. “This isn’t your fault, Topazpaw.” Her gaze flickered across the three kits at her side for a moment, before she looked up at the orange-and-white mollie again. “You and your kits shouldn’t have to pay for his mistake.”

“It is just as much my fault as his.” Topazpaw reassured. “I convinced him to give me kits, and he accepted.” The mollie lowered her head with a small sigh. “For what it’s worth, i’m sorry.”

Meadowstar awoke in her nest to a familiar voice, lifting her head and blinking sleep from her eyes.  “Sweetpaw? What are you doing out of your nest?” She tried to hold back a yawn as she spoke, but couldn’t keep it from escaping, shaking her head afterwards.

“I need to talk to you ... about dad.” Sweetpaw kept a straight face, but her eyes shined in the dim light with an unreadable emotion.
