You have his eyes

Inspired by @javatello 's piece Green eyes of prophecy

Art for my AU where Leafpool and Mothwing openly raise the Three as their kids

[Image ID: A grayscale drawing of three overlapping cat heads, the only part that is colored in this piece is their gold eyes. The head at the top is of a darker colored cat, Tigerstar, who is a maine coon dark tabby tom who resembles a tiger somewhat. He has lighter fur on the sides of his face, framed by two thick black stripes, a light colored front of and side of muzzle (but it should be noted his chin is the same color as his base fur color, and so is the top of his muzzle), stripes on his forehead, some of which resemble a star, and one that resembles an eyebrow. He also has a lighter colored chest, and a stripe on his back. Most notably, he has a scar on the bridge of his nose, and rounded ears with Maine coon ear tufts at the top. He is smiling.

The middle head is that of Mothwing, who is a much lighter color than her father, she is a maine coon flame point tabby with eyes the same color as her father's. She does not have his rounded ears but her tabby markings on her cheeks look to be warped version of her father's. She has two stripes on the side of her cheeks, three visible stripes on her forehead (one of which that looks like an eyebrow), and two visible stripes on the bridge of her muzzle. She looks worried.

Like a cat named WolfBlood, ShadowDeath, or MoonCurse? Or are there some names that can't have powers no matter what?

I mean the suffix n prefix aren't really what matters, it's more the full name.

If you want examples of canon cats who were Dark Forest granted:

Brokenkit/paw/tail/star

Clawface

And if she is aware these are her children, if she is a part of their lives... What then? How would Jayfeather and Mothwing interact? Would Jayfeather still feel the same about the starless dreams of the RiverClan medicine cat? Would Mothwing believe his stories of seeing within the stars? She always believed Leafpool to an extent, and I'm sure she would believe Jayfeather but would she believe his experiences? Would this cause a rift between the two, or would Mothwing come to an understanding? This is her son after all.

Powerful legs and a good set of wings work well for getting up trees. Unfortunately Frostmist had neither of those. "C'mon Squilf, you're really gonna make me climb a tree to get to you" cold mist swirls around her paws as the gray tabby looks up at her mate with annoyance.

"C'mmoonnn, I know you can do it!" There is amusement in Squirrelflight's voice as she cheers on the cat below. Frost' was just cute when she gets annoyed like this.

The RiverClan cat looks around. She could just leave. Just walk back to camp. But Squirrelflight had said she wanted to show her something... She takes a moment to think before sighing. Fine. She'll climb up.

The RiverClan cat crouches before jumping onto the tree. She clumsily scrambles up the trunk, trying to ignore the amount of mistakes she's making. When she gets to a branch she uses that to get the rest of the way up. With the help of her mate she pulls herself onto the high up branch.

Squirrelflight smiles and rubs her cheek against Frostmist's while she's bent down. "See? That wasn't so hard."

"Oh be quiet" Frostmist rolls her eyes. Shes trying to seem annoyed but her smile makes that hard.

The mist for which she's named keeps to the opposite side of the red molly, not wanting to make her cold on an already somewhat chilly night. There a silence for a moment, a comfortable silence. In that time Frost looks at her beautiful mate, framed by the moonlight, looking content as ever. She feels compelled to say something about it.

"I love the view" ... Shit. She meant to say 'I love you.' Internally the gray tabby screams. Damnit how did she mess that up!?

"I love the view too! That's why I brought you up here!" Squirrelflight has a big grin on her face, a bit oblivious to her partner's inner turmoil. "It's gorgeous... Just like you" she gives a wink and a little laugh.

This breaks the RiverClan cat out from her internal dialogue and puts her right into being a bit flustered. "Oh I uh... Thanks. Same here. I mean same thought!" She never has been the best with words of affection but this!? Ugh!

All the ThunderClan cat does is laugh just a little at the fumbling and lean against her partner. Okay maybe she didn't mess up that bad. Maybe she can just... Enjoy the view.

The words that come from Brokenstar are not near as garbled as his looks, but still hurt to hear. Like claws against slate, with a gravely undertone. The small brown tabby has to keep from pinning his ears back in discomfort.

"Littlekit," a shudder is sent through the kit at the sound of his own name in that horrible voice. "You have reached an age where you are able to serve your clan. It is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Littlepaw. Your mentor will be Clawface. Listen to him well, or you will pay a price for your insubordination." There is an odd guttural noise laced into those last words, it does not sound like a noise any cat should be able to make.

The now proclaimed apprentice slowly turns to face his mentor. He wills himself to look at the cat, not wanting to show disrespect. It's hard to keep eye contact as the grown cat's mask of talons uncurl to reveal what could barely be considered a face. Scratches and scars make up a majority of what's there. A blinded eye, a broken nose. Off set teeth that jut out at odd angles.

Essentially he has claws on his face that can curl and sort of move like fingers. He usually has them closed around his face like a mask or face guard. When he attacks he opens up the 'mask' and when he bites... Well let's just say there's gonna be more than just his teeth in ya.

Here's concept art of his power (it's still getting finalized)

Fanart for your AU and my failed attempt at painting. Love the AU plus your headcanons and designs are big brain.
