GladiolusClan

Welcome to GladiolusClan! This Clangen will contain the following warnings:

(To be added in the future!)

Start

My contribution for @cccdiscord's pride event! :D

Browntail puts their paw over Streamwhisker's, as they announce they've become mates.

Rainglint was seen in a very serious conversation with a kittypet, who ran away when another patrol approached. The Clan has encountered Minna.

Rainglint has collected quite a lot of ticks in their pelt, and grumbles about the itchy bites dotted throughout.

Streamwhisker announced that they are expecting kits. Life goes on for now - they'll move into the nursery, but not this moon.

As Crowfeather pads through GladiolusClan territory with their entourage, they feel a presence join them. Crowfeather softly alerts the rest of the patrol of their visitor. With respectful nods, the patrol pauses, tucks their paws together neatly, and sit to converse with the StarClan cat.

Civetflake finds a loner offering healing skills in exchange for shelter. The new medicine cat is welcomed into the Clan. Rindlewave joined the Clan. Your Clan's reputation towards Outsiders has improved.

Cosmo fanart for @loafclan! I adore this boy sm, I want him to be happy 🥹

Crowfeather notices that the moss in the medicine den is getting old. They need to go and gather some more. Mouse-dung! When the two cats arrive at the best moss-gathering spot, they find that some animal has dug up most of the moss. They'll have to leave the rest to repopulate before gathering from this spot again.

The patrol spots a badger making a den on WheatClan territory. Rimefoot tells the patrol to continue on and hops over the border to walk to WheatClan's camp. They are greeted at the camp entrance with bristled fur, angry hisses and the leader demanding to know what they are doing there. They explain the situation and with their smooth talking skills manage to convince the cats of their good intentions. The leader thanks them and orders a patrol to escort them back to the border.

Relations with WheatClan have improved.

Talonstem overexerted themself, and is feeling extremely sore.


Browntail woke up with a splitting headache, and couldn't get out of their nest. They spent the entire day curled up, trying to avoid light and noise so that the throbbing pain could subside.


Bristledrizzle was caught sharing prey with a rogue, who was chased off by a patrol.


Dartnip wishes to join the elders. Ghoststar calls a meeting, and the Clan honors them and all the service Dartnip has given to them.


Luckchest went missing for a few days.

Crowfeather needs to go and gather some burdock root. They take along what warriors they can find around camp to help gather and carry the roots back. The burdock plants are plentiful in the area that Crowfeather chose. They'll have a good supply to last a while!

Civetflake finds juniper while out on a walk and decides to give them to Dartnip.


Caterpillarbramble accidentally crossed the border on patrol and got their ear torn by an enemy warrior.


Canelapelt and Rimefoot really think the Clan hasn't noticed how they feel about each other? Everyone carefully hides their smiles as they announce becoming mates.

During a patrol looking for herbs, Crowfeather notices that Ghoststar seems more quiet than usual. When prompted, Ghoststar slowly asks if Crowfeather could teach them more about the nature of StarClan. Crowfeather eventually relents, and begins teaching Ghoststar more about StarClan and the nature of prophecies. Ghoststar takes to it quickly, marveling at their ancestors. They attempt to bug Crowfeather about any recent prophecies, but Crowfeather only laughs and gets the patrol back on track for herbs.

While walking along the border, your patrol notices a WheatClan patrol renewing their scent marks up ahead. When the two patrols get closer to each other the patrol leaders share a quick nod of acknowledgement. The patrols refocus on their tasks without stopping for a conversation, but a feeling of mutual respect has been fostered.

Relations with WheatClan have improved.

Bristledrizzle calls the patrol to them, explaining their plan. An abandoned Twoleg nest has been spotted on the territory by the border patrols, brimming with rats! It would be the perfect place for some newleaf hunting! Bristledrizzle leads the cats to the abandoned Twoleg nest, but the rats seemed to be livelier than they thought. A harsh battle forces the patrol to retreat, Bristledrizzle being the most harshly wounded.

While walking along the border, your patrol notices a LarchClan patrol renewing their scent marks up ahead. When the two patrols get closer to each other the patrol leaders share a quick nod of acknowledgement. The patrols refocus on their tasks without stopping for a conversation, but a feeling of mutual respect has been fostered.

Moon 13:

A litter of 3 kits! Rain welcomes them happily, and seems unperturbed by the lack of a partner in the nursery with them.

Crowfeather has to attend to one of their grimmer jobs as a medicine cat - the grounds where GladiolusClan goes to mourn their dead need to be tended to. They're bringing along Ghoststar as their assistant for this trip, and the two cats head out in relative silence. Even though there's nothing different about this place, other than the serenity it was chosen for, Crowfeather always feels that the grief and love their Clanmates express here has seeped into every corner. They tidy the grounds, collecting rosemary as they work. It feels appropriate for the plant to grow here, when its herbs are used to hide the scent of death.

The patrol encounters a clearing where a lot of Twolegs linger. The patrol mostly ignores the Twolegs. As they hunt, they hear a yelp from Aphidfern. they've crawled into a metal Twolegs box, and there's nothing they or the rest of the patrol can do to get them out - eventually the Twolegs notice, and Aphidfern is taken by them.

Deaths: 0

Luckchest believes they're meant for something greater.


Rain is hoping for a big litter!

During a patrol looking for herbs, Crowfeather notices that Ghoststar seems more quiet than usual. When prompted, Ghoststar slowly asks if Crowfeather could teach them more about the nature of StarClan. Crowfeather tries to simplify the mystical power of their ancestors, but it only leaves Ghoststar more confused about StarClan and their prophecies.

Ghoststar gathers the Clan for a meeting. They have spent many moons training Bristlepaw, and it's time for them to be granted their warrior name. Ghoststar gives them the name Bristledrizzle and honors their honesty.

Dartnip was seen touching noses with a loner. Scandalous!


Streamwhisker is caught outside of the Clan's territory.


Rain announced that they are expecting kits.

Crowfeather has to attend to one of their grimmer jobs as a medicine cat - the grounds where GladiolusClan goes to mourn their dead need to be tended to. They're bringing along Ghoststar as their assistant for this trip, and the two cats head out in relative silence. There's a sharp yowl of pain, followed by a string of muttered curses, and Crowfeather turns to see Ghoststar holding one of their paws off the ground. It seems that the other cat stepped on a thorn. Ouch! They'll have to go back to camp and fix that up.

As the patrol is checking the border lines, they hear the traipse of pawsteps through the territory. The patrol follows the noise and comes upon a kittypet that's sniffing around. The kittypet turns and bristles, hissing at the patrol. Streamwhisker calls out a greeting to them and engages them in conversation, which seems to calm them down. they even agree when Streamwhisker asks if they'd like to join the Clan!

Baby joined the Clan. Your Clan's reputation towards Outsiders has improved.

Talonstem was seen talking calmly to a loner, before both cats went their separate ways.


Rimefoot sits in the crowd, chest puffed out in pride as they watch Brownpaw be named Browntail, and honored for their fearlessness. They consider themself lucky to have been able to train such an amazing young cat, and look forward to seeing the warrior they become.

While Ghoststar is not quite sure that Aphidpaw has outgrown their childish quirks or their love of pranks, they welcome them as a full warrior to the Clan and naming them Aphidfern after their lightheartedness and enthusiasm.

Ghoststar stands above the Clan and proclaims that Streampaw shall now be known as Streamwhisker, honoring their loyalty.

Quilldapple was seen touching noses with a rogue. Scandalous!

As Crowfeather pads through GladiolusClan territory with their entourage, they feel a presence join them. Crowfeather softly alerts the rest of the patrol of their visitor. With respectful nods, the patrol pauses, tucks their paws together neatly, and sit to converse with the StarClan cat. (Ghoststar and Crowfeather patrol)

While on patrol, Quilldapple notices some suspicious pawprints in the mud beneath the canopy. Boldly, Canelapelt follows the pawprints to a trespassing rogue, and confronts them. Fur puffed up and scowling, the patrol demands the rogue leave GladiolusClan territory. Intimidated by their confidence and the number of cats, the rogue gives in and leaves without a fight.

Rain misstepped and slipped from a rock, but landed on their feet nimbly, their Clanmates commenting on the show of dexterity.


Ghoststar rests their muzzle on Civetflake's head and declares them to be a full warrior of GladiolusClan, honoring their heart of gold.

Bringing a motley assortment of Clanmates along with them, Crowfeather heads out on an herb-gathering patrol, searching for the ever-green, ever-reliable horsetail to harvest for the herb stores. Snapping off the thick horsetail stem near the base of the plant allows Crowfeather to drag an entire shoot back to camp. The patrol helps pull along the massive bush, causing several cats in camp to fluff up in alarm when the patrol drags it through camp, where they diligently process it down further into smaller stem sections that are easily stored.

The patrol catches the scent of a fox - but is it red, or gray? Tracking it, they find a stocky gray fox feeding on a deer carcass, either a small doe or one of last newleaf's fawns. A gray fox could never take on prey this size, it must have found the carcass, and now GladiolusClan has too. The cats are only just smaller and outnumber the fox, if only by a little, and it's a prize they're willing to fight for. With a prayer to StarClan they throw themselves into battle, and the fox, already half full of venison and unwilling to lose blood over it, is driven off from the kill.

GladiolusClan welcomes Talonstem as a new warrior, honoring their strong will.

Leaf-fall holds the last chances to stock up on herbs that will die off in leaf-bare, and Crowfeather heads out to gather fresh goldenrod for the stores with a patrol of their Clanmates to assist them. Crowfeather is distracted today, and it affects their work. The patrol is unsuccessful, and the cats snappy with each other.

Something skitters across the leaf litter, catching the patrol's eyes. A little lizard! Aphidpaw pounces on the little creature and misses, but they don't seem overly concerned, stopping nearly every step to chat to Brownpaw, who's just as keen to talk.

The patrol spots a badger making a den on AspenClan territory. The patrol waits patiently at the border for any AspenClan cat to appear but they are out of luck that day. Quilldapple decides to continue the patrol as they have tried waiting long enough.

Bristlepaw ran too fast over harsh ground and hurt their paws.


Caterpillarbramble caught a cat from another Clan trespassing on their territory and their ear was torn in the ensuing scuffle.

Crowfeather notices that the moss in the medicine den is getting old. They need to go and gather some more. Crowfeather leads the way to the best moss patch they know, with their entourage following close behind. The cats begin cutting off bits of moss and making their respective piles - once the piles turn into mouthfuls, they pick up the bundles of new bedding and start back towards camp.

As the patrol crunches through the dead leaves littering the woods, Aphidpaw explains an idea they had for squirrel hunting. It sounds a little strange, but perhaps it could work? Aphidpaw suggests finding squirrels sheltered in trees, climbing above them, and shaking the branches to scare them down. Unfortunately for them, the idea is a little too far out there, and while they do manage a few small catches, the day is mostly wasted with little to show for it.

As the patrol is checking the border lines, they hear an odd sound coming from a nearby bush. Talonpaw drops down into a hunting crouch, certain that a mouse must be the source of the noise. They find themself to be correct when they pounce into the bush and return to the patrol with the tasty morsel dangling from their mouth.

The patrol hears a cat begging for their housefolk to come back, just barely intelligible over the sound of a monster speeding away. Quilldapple finds a kittypet collapsed by the Thunderpath, wailing for their housefolk. Quilldapple comforts them, asking why they were left here. The only explanation they have is that they're sick... perhaps they were too much of a burden? Quilldapple offers them a place in GladiolusClan, at least until they're better. They tentatively accept, looking longingly at the Thunderpath as they're led away.

Canelapelt joined the Clan. Your Clan's reputation towards Outsiders has improved.

Bristlepaw was caught sharing prey with a kittypet, who was chased off by a patrol.

As they head out to gather cobwebs, Crowfeather thinks about the dream they had last night. . . was it sent by StarClan? It definitely distracts them from the hunt for cobwebs, but Crowfeather uses the time by themself to put their thoughts in order. The sign from their ancestors will need acting upon, and they return to camp to assemble the leader and deputy.

Eyes glowing with the last rays of the sunset, the small hunting party heads out into the gathering dusk. Dartnip goes down hard on a misjudged pounce, and stands up with a wince. Talonpaw trots over, telling Dartnip to take it easy and lean on them as they limp home.

The patrol comes across a Thunderpath running through the forest. The patrol finds a pipe running under the Thunderpath and uses it to cross. They end up with slightly damp paws, but a successful haul of prey.

While on patrol, Aphidpaw notices some suspicious pawprints in the mud beneath the canopy. Boldly, Brownpaw follows the pawprints to a trespassing rogue, and confronts them. Fur puffed up and scowling, the patrol demands the rogue leave GladiolusClan territory. Intimidated by their confidence and the number of cats, the rogue gives in and leaves without a fight.

Rain takes Streampaw out of camp to gather moss. Rain patiently shows Streampaw the best places to gather moss, and how to gather it, explaining to Streampaw that by doing this they will gain the muscles and strength necessary to be a great warrior.

The patrol comes across an AspenClan apprentice, waiting quietly at the border. When the apprentice notices the patrol, they press themself to the ground, begging to join GladiolusClan. The patrol brings the apprentice back to camp, where they are accepted into the Clan. Although, this doesn't help relations with AspenClan.

Civetpaw joined the Clan. Relations with AspenClan have worsened.
