Amidst the blooming Lurids

(Had to repaint the background because there is nothing green or bright in the big lmao)

In this AU, Root is found by Hollowpaw and taken into DriftwoodClan. She is cared for by the entire clan, but even though unspoken, every cat knew that Hollowpaw was her adoptive parent. Root grew up to be a warrior, eventually being promoted to deputy with the name of Rootfire.

🎨 (fav hobbies?)

Hollow doesn’t really have any, as most of her time is spent caring for clanmates and searching for herbs. Had she had the chance, I think she would’ve loved making pressed flowers. Sunshine, however, loves singing and just enjoys being the bright little kitty that he is.

🌙 (heavy or light sleeper? What are their dreams like?)

Sunshine is somewhere in the middle, and, like most of her clanmates, has no dreams. Hollow is usually an extremely alert and light sleeper, but ever so often she will get dragged into a dream, causing her to appear dead and be almost impossible to wake.

🐀 (favourite prey?)

Hollow likes skinks, and Sunshine adores squirrels. Those are, unfortunately, delicacies to them.

🌿 (favourite herb?)

Hollowpaw doesn’t really have a favourite herb! Neither does Sunshine, but I think he’d love marigolds and dandelions if she ever saw them.

🌷 (quirks or other mannerisms?)

Hollow fluffs up her tail with her paws when nervous, and Sunshinepaw has a habit of chewing her claws.

🎯 (goals)

Sunshine always wanted to become the leader, or to at least see the stars. At least one of those came true, eh? Hollow just wants to figure out the cure to the lurid infection, and perhaps get out of the bog.

🏠 (would they ever consider becoming a kittypet?)

They have never heard of kittypets, or even humans for that matter, so no.

🐾 (what do they think of other clans/groups?)

There aren’t any other clans in the bog. Not anymore, at least.

🙀 (what do they fear the most?)

Sunshine is afraid of heights and drowning. Hollow fears the Lurids. Everything does.

✨ (what’s their relationship with starclan like?)

They haven’t heard of anything from StarClan in a long, long while. Hollow believes they may have abandoned the clan. Sunshine loved hearing stories about the dead warriors when he was younger, and now that she is in StarClan, completely alone... he doesn’t know what to do.

📜 (how does your clan’s warrior code differ from other clans?)

They don’t have any laws that have to do with boarders or other clans, as there are none! Mostly, however, it’s the same- just not too heavily enforced. The only law that they’re quite serious about is not eating any prey before bringing it back to camp, as there is very little of it.

🗺️ (what does your territory look like?)

It’s a black and dark grey bog. Sometimes you can come across patches of Lurids.

🐇 (typical prey you’d find in the territory?)

If you’re lucky, you might find some skinks or other lizards and amphibians. Once in a blue moon, you might come across a mouse or a squirrel. The main source of food are worms.

🐺 (typical predators?)

A bunch! Specifically, Woes, Wanderers, Will-O-Wisps, and cats infected by the Lurids. Sunshinepaw was killed by a Woe, which is a horrible fate. 

🏘️ (what is the twoleg activity like?)

Nonexistent.

⚠️ (are there any dangerous areas cats have to avoid?)

Any place that has Lurid flowers.

🌋 (natural disasters that chaged the landscape?)

Nothing really happens, actually! Sometimes there are bog fires, but pretty much never near camp. So far, the cats haven’t encountered one.
