Clangen, Rewrites, and Warriors OCs

Leaders over the generations:

Icestar

Lilystar:

Brownstar:

Cinderstar:

Valleystar:

Fogstar:

Larchstar:

Lilacstar:

Birchstar:

Antstar:

And then... starting conditions by moon 720 (actually moon 722 because I had some leaderless Clan drama I wanted to get finished up before doing this):

Cypresstuft's tail was badly injured by a dog.

An injured kittypet was found by the thunderpath. Though Lightningstar is still wary of cats from outside the Clan, Bugdapple convinced him to let her take care of the cat. Her name is currently Bonbon, and if Lightningstar ultimately decides to allow her to join the Clan fully, she will get a warrior name after she heals up.

Moon 54

Finally, an uninteresting moon. The Clan is breathing a sigh of relief.

Moon 55

Lizardleap brought a rogue named Wild to the Clan, but, still suspicious, Lightningstar drove Wild away from Camp.

Aspenpaw is now Aspenfur!

Primrosepaw was stolen by twolegs!

Moon 56

Snailstripe now wears a rainbow collar!

Additionally, I have decided that every cat who is taken by twolegs from now on (including those that disappear and reappear with items only a twoleg could have given them and those that are already lost) have a chance of being part of a TNR program.

So the cats who are no longer able to have kits as a result of this are...

Snailstripe, Blazetail, Fogstripe, Radar, and Spam

Heatherwish is expecting kits! Presumably with her mate, Palefern.

Sagekit is now Sagepaw apprenticed to Jaggedfeather, and Voidkit is now Voidpaw, apprenticed to Bugdapple. Because of this, Firefur can now return to warrior duties.

Sagepaw:

Voidpaw:

Moon 57

Hornetstorm is expecting kits! Presumably with her mate, Firefur (who is lending experience in the medicine den, but not actually a medicine cat in the way where kits and mates aren't allowed)

However... Firefur as well as Toadclaw were killed in a BearClan raid.

Skyclaw died fighting a large dog.

Moon 58

Flutterwhisker has yellowcough

Jaggedfeather has greencough

Bonbon's head damage is better, but... Bonbon now has greencough

Icekit is now Icepaw apprenticed to Puddlestrike, Dustkit is now Dustpaw apprenticed to Weedshade, and Claykit is now Claypaw apprenticed to Lizardleap.

Heatherwish and Palefern welcomed their two kits into the Clan. The kits are Cloudkit and Lightkit!

An abandoned kit was found and brought back to the Clan, and she has been named Frostkit!

Moon 59

Hornetstorm gave birth to her kits with Firefur. Their names are Houndkit and Emberkit. She is heartbroken looking at Emberkit, as she feels that he looks so much like Firefur, and that is what he was named in reference to.

Moon 60

Bonbon is healed, but Lightningstar's anxieties about outsiders is resulting in him being sent away now that he is well enough.

Additionally, we've hit the end of the fourth year of LightningClan, which means it's time for me to go through and check whether any new pairings have come up!

Okay we now have Eaglestorm/Weedshade!

Moon 61

Blazetail has died without ever making it back to the Clan.

Hornetstorm has an infection from giving birth.

Greyminnow is pregnant, presumably with her mate Gorsedapple's kits!

Frostkit is now Frostpaw, apprenticed to Snailstripe!

Dustpaw now identifies as nonbinary. Good for them!

A loner with redcough named Sam is taken into the Clan to heal. If she survives, she may have the opportunity to become a part of the Clan, depending on Lightningstar's feelings on the matter.

Frostpaw:

Moon 62

Puddlestrike's tail was injured by a fox.

Claypaw was attacked by an eagle. He survived, but will be scarred for life.

Sagepaw has been promoted to being Sagepetal!

Moon 63

Voidpaw is now a full medicine cat named Voidfall!

Greyminnow and Gorsedapple had a litter of three kits! Peakkit, Drizzlekit, and Marshkit.

Palefern died in a fight against a dog.

Moon 64

Aspenfur had four kits, but is refusing to talk about where they come from. They are Sparrowkit, Asterkit, Mothkit, and Streamkit

Claypaw died from an infected claw wound

Cloudkit is now Cloudpaw apprenticed to Snowshadow, and Lightkit is now Lightpaw apprenticed to Thunderfall

Cloudpaw and Lightpaw:

Dustpaw's tail was injured in a dispute with BearClan

Sotana, a kittypet with redcough, has joined the Clan to be healed. If she lives she may be allowed to take on a Clan name.

Moon 65

Puddlestrike's injured tail is healed but scarred.

Meanwhile, Dustpaw died from the tail wounds.

Icepaw is now a full warrior named Iceclaw!

Houndkit is now Houdpaw apprenticed to Lizardleap and Emberkit is now Emberpaw apprenticed to Puddlestrike.

Moon 45

WHOA

Okay so first of all, Pebblefade and Snowshadow's whitecough cases have cleared up.

SECOND OF ALL.

So, a random rogue attack DECIMATED the Clan. They killed Dustkit (SERIOUSLY THEY STARTED WITH A KIT), Splashfern, Podpelt, Willowtwist, Glintspots, Daisypelt, Bubblesplash, Wisteriadawn, Featherpaw, Birdclaw, Oakdawn, Speckleshine, Smokeheart, Bluffbreeze, and Shinecloud.

Nobody knew how the rogues got in UNTIL they spotted Rainface sharing prey with one of the rogues and it was realized that she had orchestrated this. The rogue was chased off, but Rainface was taken back to camp to be questioned. There, it came to light that she had always been part of the rogue group, and had been acting as a spy for them, in the hopes that they might take over LightningClan's territory. Lightningstar, enraged by what Rainface had done, after he had welcomed her in and been so welcoming to all cats who wished to join the Clan, called for her death, and Puddlestrike, who was Dustkit's elder half sibling, carried out the sentence.

I suspect this will lead to a more isolationist LightningClan in the future.

Rainface is officially the first Dark Forest cat from LightningClan.

In the wake of this tragic battle, Lilacpaw and Snailpaw became Lilacshock and Snailstripe. Their sister, Featherpaw, should have been with them, had she not been killed in the battle.

Seriously we lost 2/3 medicine cats and both mediators. I believe the cats will be looking to fill those roles. Bugdapple believes Aspenkit would be a good medicine cat apprentice. Additionally, Firefur, who lost his mate Splashfern in the battle and who has a strong connection to StarClan has decided to become a medicine cat, as he feels it is the best way he can help his Clan, and feels certain he will never want another mate. Meanwhile, Greenshade and Sandblossom have taken on the role of mediators.

However, the Clan does welcome a former kittypet, Heather, who had fallen in with the rogue group, who came to them with information on how to strike back and, hopefully, drive the rogues away, under the condition that LightningClan shelter her. Her name is now Heatherwish.

Moon 46

Timberpaw is now Timberjaw.

Blazetail and Fogstripe are taken away by twolegs.

Pebblefade's tail was injured by a dog.

Moon 47

Eaglepaw is now Eaglestorm.

Timberjaw has yellowcough

Greenshade has whitecough.

A cat named Buchito attempted to join the Clan, and was brought to Lightningstar, but was sent away.

Moon 48

Thunderpaw is now Thunderfall!

Jaggedfeather and Thunderfall are both sick with yellowcough and whitecough respectively.

Moon 49

Skypaw is now Skyclaw!

Primrosekit is now Primrosepaw apprenticed to Pebblefade, and Aspenkit is now Aspenpaw apprenticed to Gorsedapple.

However, soon after, Pebblefade was seen playing with a kittypet and, so soon after the devastation from the rogues, Lightningstar felt the need to act. He exiled Pebblefade.

Primrosepaw's new mentor is Snailstripe.

Moon 50

Jackdawclaw is expecting kits! Good for her. Presumably Piperfur is the dad, but it doesn't say for sure yet.

Jaggedfeather and Timberjaw have healed up!

Aspenpaw's tail is injured in a border fight.

Moon 51

Timberjaw's tail was injured by a dog

Moon 52

Jackdawclaw and Piperfur's litter of three kits is born! Their names are Icekit, Dustkit (presumably after the Dustkit who was lost in the battle with the rogues), and Claykit!

Also, because we're past the year three mark, and RNG IN THE GAME STILL REFUSES TO GIVE ME CATS WHO ORGANICALLY CHOOSE TO BE MATES... time for me to do it again. The new mates are:

Firefur/Hornetstorm! Firefur used to be Splashfern's mate, so I guess... we love a bi king haha!

Sandblossom/Jaggedfeather!

Greyminnow/Gorsedapple!

Cypresstuft/Lizardleap! wlw pairing!!

Heatherwish/Palefern! Palefern was Podpelt's mate before she died.

Snowshadow/Lilacshock! mlm pairing! I actually think these two will be a power couple, and they even started this whole thing with mutual crushes on each other!

Snailstripe/Skyclaw!

Thunderfall/Timberjaw!

To be fair, since LightningClan is actively at war with all its neighbours, maybe it's not a bad idea to keep growing the ranks, but still.

A patrol found an abandoned kit and adopted her, giving her the name Quickkit.

ALSO a kittypet named Cheeto Puff joined the Clan along with her kits. Her Clan name is Lizardleap, and her kits are Timberkit and Eaglekit.

Lizardleap:

Timberkit:

Eaglekit:

AND a former kittypet named Pebble joined the Clan as well. He currently has whitecough, but if he lives, as per usual, Lightningstar will give him a Clan name.

Moon 39

Jumpdrift has decided to move on from Heatherheart. We'll see how this goes, because Lightningstar made that resolution MOONS ago about Bloombrook, and he has utterly failed so far, but we'll see.

Snowpaw has been made a full warrior with the name Snowshadow. I believe that despite her earlier doubts, she has decided to remain a warrior, with the understanding that due to her permanent condition, she will need to be more careful about her activity than some other warriors need to be.

Additionally, Lilackit is now Lilacpaw apprenticed to Bubblesplash, Featherkit is now Featherpaw apprenticed to Lizardleap (which may suggest that she is not interested in spending much time in the nursery, though she did bring kits to the Clan), and Snailkit is now Snailpaw apprenticed to Snowshadow.

Moon 40

Weedshade made it home!

It has been a particularly rainy greenleaf, and the Camp flooded, killing Quickkit and Silverkit.

Daisypelt's leg was badly injured by a twoleg trap, and he is healling up from that.

Skykit is now Skypaw apprenticed to Grasshopper, Thunderkit is now Thunderpaw apprenticed to Greyminnow, Timberkit is now Timberpaw apprenticed to Jumpdrift, and Eaglekit is now Eaglepaw apprenticed to Blazetail!

Pebble is healed and is now Pebblefade!

Skypaw's tail was injured on patrol.

Lilacpaw's ear was torn by a dog

Moon 41

An injured BrindleClan warrior named Birdclaw, presumably sent away, joined the Clan in exchange for healing. Despite us being at war with them. The injury is a cat bite, so maybe he got in a fight and was driven out?

Fogstripe is expecting kits! Presumably with his mate Hawkflare, but we'll see.

Oakpaw is now Oakdawn, full medicine cat of LightningClan!

Smokeheart is back on warrior duties, but walks with a limp due to his old dislocated joint not having healed properly.

Flutterwhisker was bitten on the BrightClan border, and Bubblesplash had his leg mauled.

Moon 42

Eaglepaw is transmasc! I love him so much.

Fogstripe has moved into the nursery

Smokeheart's joint pain was so bad this moon that he struggled to get out of his nest and complete his warrior duties. Acknowledging that he wants to continue serving his Clan and does not yet wish to retire, but that doing so as a warrior is no longer something he can do comfortably, he has elected to become a mediator.

We took in ANOTHER loner. This one is named Mora, though they have taken on the warrior name Gorsedapple

A loner named Greenshade also joined the Clan. I like to imagine that she came with Gorsedapple.

Moon 43

Speckleshine, Greyminnow, Pebblefade and Lightningstar have whitecough

Fogstripe and Hawkflare's kits are born! Dustkit, Primrosekit, and Aspenkit!

Dustkit:

Primrosekit:

Aspenkit:

Birdclaw, Flutterwhisker and Daisypelt have both healed from their injuries, but Daisypelt's mangled leg was so badly damaged that it became infected and ultimately had to be amputated, and he is suffering from phantom pain in the missing limb.

Jewelbrook was killed by a fox. A patrol found it and Flutterwhisker dealt it a fatal blow.

Meanwhile, Cliffcrash's littermate, Puddlepaw, is finally healed, but she is entirely blind as a result of the hare injuring her eyes. It looks like she's working very hard on her warrior training, though, so I think her goal is to still be a warrior (and contrary to what canon says, blind cats can totally perform all the activities that a warrior needs to be able to do), so here's wishing her luck!

Toadclaw has whitecough

Flutterpaw is now Flutterwhisker, Jackdawpaw is now Jackdawclaw, and Jaggedpaw is now Jaggedfeather! So many new warriors this moon!

A patrol found a cat named Dakota and brought him home. He currently has a broken bone, but if he survives, as per usual, he will get a full warrior name.

Moon 27

So many cats are better! Lightningstar, Toadclaw, Willowtwist, Daisypelt, Blazetail, and Shine are all better!

Shine also gets a warrior name now! He is now officially Shinecloud!

Also, I feel I should note. Our neighbours are BearClan, BrightClan, and BrindleClan. We are currently at war with all of them. Good job everyone.

Jaggedfeather tried to hunt and eagle and got bitten for his efforts.

A loner named Bluff joined the Clan and is now named Bluffbreeze.

Bluffbreeze:

Also a kittypet named Jewel joined the Clan, and his name is now Jewelbrook.

Jewelbrook:

AND then a patrol that included Mosaicspots, Bluffbreeze, and Jewelbrook ended up finding a wounded cat named Jackal who, as per usual, will get a full warrior name if she survives. She has a broken jaw.

Jackal:

Moon 28

LightningClan has claimed some of BrightClan's territory back!

A cat named Lady was found with a broken bone near the Thunderpath. As is Lightningstar's standard, if she survives she will get to have a warrior name.

Lady:

Moon 29

Apparently the med cats are struggling to keep up with the demands of such a big Clan. There are three kits in the nursery right now, so I imagine they are keeping an eye on them to see if any would make good medicine cat apprentices. I think their eyes are on Oakkit right now, but we'll see how that goes.

Moon 30

Heatherheart was attacked by an eagle. She survived, but is in the medicine den.

Puddlepaw has been made a warrior, finally! Her name is Puddlestrike!

Jumpdrift was injured in a border dispute with BearClan

Moon 31

Presumably that same eagle also attacked Cliffcrash, who survived and is healing.

Blazetail and Jumpdrift are healed!

Jumpdrift is also expecting kits. Presumably with Heatherheart, her mate (since I have same sex kits turned on)? We'll find out.

Stonekit is now Stonepaw and apprenticed to Grasshopper, Snowkit is now Snowpaw apprenticed to Jackdawclaw, and Oakkit is now Oakpaw, a medicine cat apprentice under Bugdapple!

Stonepaw:

Snowpaw:

Oakpaw:

Snowpaw's going to be a stickler for the rules, I can already tell.

Dakota healed, and got his warrior name, Firefur. Unfortunately, he immediately got whitecough.

Jackal, sadly, died due to infection.

While on patrol, Weedshade was caught in a twoleg trap and stolen. Which. You would think he would know better, given that he was lost this way before, but apparently not.

Fogstripe was injured during a training session which surprised a badger, and his leg has been "mangled" in the ensuing confusion.

Shinecloud was scraped up trying to steal prey from a fox.

Moon 32

Jaggedfeather has whitecough

Shinecloud and Firefur are healed.

The Clan sits vigil for Weedshade, though he is only lost.

Toadclaw's leg was injured in a fight with BrindleClan BECAUSE WE ARE STILL AT WAR WITH ALL OUR NEIGHBOURS ahsdfjkasjdhkl

Moon 33

Heatherheart died from her wounds, which devastated her mate, Jumpdrift. Following this, Jumpdrift pushed her kits away because they look too much like Heatherheart.

The kits are Lilackit, Featherkit, and Snailkit

Snowpaw fell in the water and has been coughing ever since, but Grasshopper, Jaggedfeather, and Lady are all healed up.

Lady's new name is Hornetstorm!

Lightningstar picks Jackdawclaw as the next deputy.

On patrol we met a kittypet named Spam

And a loner named Ponyboy.

Bluffbreeze's ear was torn by a dog.

Moon 34

Piperfur has greencough, Jewelbrook has yellowcough, and Willowtwist has whitecough

Fogstripe and Cliffcrash have healed, but Cliffcrash has scars from where the eagle tried to carry him off.

Puddlestrike got frostbite from hunting in the snow.

The medicine cats found a tom with kits, which they brought back to camp. The cats are Bitty, now Palefern, Skykit, Silverkit, and Thunderkit (presumably named in reference to the Clan that rescued them).

Palefern:

Skykit:

Silverkit:

Thunderkit:

Moon 35

Piperfur and Toadclaw are healed.

Jumpdrift continues to not really connect with her kits, though she loves them. It seems that she may have some sort of infection, but I imagine her grief is also impacting this issue.

Cliffcrash has also been stolen by a twoleg trap.

A kittypet named Wisteria has joined the Clan and is now Wisteriadawn

Moon 36

And this marks the end of year 2!!

Jaggedfeather and Wisteriadawn go out of camp together to watch the moon rise

Puddlestrike's frostbite is healed, as is Willowtwist's whitecough and Jewelbrook's yellowcough

Snowpaw's lungs are permanently damaged from the water that got into them. She is considering whether she should become a mediator apprentice, because that role would require her to exert herself less, but she hasn't decided yet.

Jewelbrook retires and becomes an elder.

I should also poitn out the Mosaicspots is ancient (126 moons)

STONEPAW was lost to a twoleg trap.

A kittypet named Camoflage joines the Clan and becomes Smokeheart

And as is now tradition... it's the end of the year, and the game's RNG has refused to give me any mates so I'm going to go through and see if we have any new pairings.

Those are:

Jackdawclaw and Piperfur! Our first m/f pairing lol.

Podpelt and Palefern.

Smokeheart and Blazetail.

Fogstripe and Hawkflare.

Firefur and Splashfern.

Hornetstorm and Willowtwist.

Wisteriadawn and Jaggedfeather. Which is sweet, since RNG also decided to say they went on a date earlier!

Puddlestrike and Flutterwhisker. The only queer ship this time around, but also I think these two girls are very cute together, so worth the wait.

Moon 37

Mosaicspots finally becomes an elder

A kittypet name Queso joined the Clan and was renamed Sandblossom!

On a patrol, Splashfern finds a former kittypet with a broken bone. Her name was Blaze, and she is now Blazetail.

Moon 24

Willowtwist and Lightningstar both have greencough.

Blazetail's broken bone is now infected...

Toadclaw gave Flutterpaw a present of juniper, which she wears now!

A former kittypet named Rain joins the Clan and becomes Rainface.

Rainface:

Another former kittypet named Jumpdrift joins the Clan and keeps her name because it's a warrior one already.

Jumpdrift:

AND ANOTHER CAT JOINS THE CLAN. Lord, okay. This one's a loner named Shine. Shine has an injured leg, but if she lives, she will get a Clan name.

Shine:

Moon 25

Bugdapple is healed!

Also, Podpelt's kits are born! We have, Stonekit, Snowkit, and Oakkit!

Stonekit:

Snowkit:

Oakkit:

And a loner named Grasshopper joins the Clan as well. We have grown SO large, but I really don't think Lightningstar has the heart to say no to any cat in need.

Grasshopper:

AND now that it has been two years and rangen refuses to give me any cats who are mates, I'm going to go back in and do that again...

On that note... Lightningstar is continuing to fail in his resolution to get over Bloombrook. It's actually quite heartbreaking that he's separated from his beloved mate by the fact that he has nine lives left to live.

Anyway...

The new mates are:

Heatherheart and Jumpdrift! I'm so glad Heatherheart now, finally, has a girlfriend.

Also, holed up in the medicine den together, Shine and Daisypelt have become boyfriends!

And finally, Grasshopper and Toadclaw are also now boyfriends!

Moon 13

Glintspots was given dried herbs from Heatherheart, and is wearing them in her pelt!

A patrol that included Asterscratch, Heatherheart, and Splashfern ended up running into Nakeena, a kittypet, who they brought back to camp. She is sick, but as was the case with Mosaicspots, if she survives, she will be offered a full warrior name.

Moon 14

A patrol including Asterscratch, Splashfern, and Cypresstuft met a kittypet named Radar, who badly injured Splashfern's leg.

Radar:

Glintspots and Podpelt went out to look for herbs, and ended up finding a wounded queen with newborn kits, who they brought back to the Clan. The Queen's name is Fogstripe, and her his kits are Cliffkit and Puddlekit! [Edit: I’m a dummy who didn’t notice Fogstripe was a trans guy, so his pronouns may be incorrect but they get fixed as soon as I notice next post. I’d fix it here but tbqh I am, myself, an exhausted trans guy and I simply do not have the patience or energy to comb through and see if I misgendered a randomly generated pixel cat on accident. At least not tonight.]

Fogstripe:

Cliffkit:

Puddlekit:

Also, Lightningstar and Heatherheart met a kittypet named Fuzz, who they invited to join the Clan! Lots of cats joining the Clan!!

And then, Fuzz, on his first patrol, before he got a new warrior name, found a kit all alone outside and brought him home. His name is Bubblekit!

Fuzz got the name Toadclaw!

Toadclaw:

Bubblekit:

Moon 15

Nakeena died of redcough without getting a warrior name. However, she did go to StarClan.

Speckleshine is all better though!

After six moons, Lightningstar has finally admitted to himself that, though he will always love Bloombrook, he needs to be willing to move on. He immediately got a stomach ache over that thought, so clearly the moving on is going well.

Piperkit is now Piperpaw, and being mentored by Lightningstar!

Piperpaw:

Also, a better view of Cliffkit and Puddlekit:

Mosaicspots had her pelt torn by BrightClan. Please, we do not need to be at war with ANOTHER Clan.

Asterscratch found a cat named Hawkflare from another Clan, and brought her back to LightningClan. Unfortunately, she has a broken jaw.

Hawkflare:

Moon 16

HEATHERHEART DID IT!! Speckleshine decided to step down and become and elder, and Lightningstar named Heatherheart his new deputy. She has achieved her goal!

Plus, Bubblekit aged up and became Bubblepaw, apprenticed to Heatherheart (who is REALLY feeling on top of the world right now).

And THEN Heatherheart was on a patrol with Lightningstar, Bubblepaw, Piperpaw, and Asterscratch, and they ran into some rogues, and Heatherheart singlehandedly made the rogues flee. True Heatherheart protagonist moment.

Another patrol met a kittypet named Chance!

Chance:

Bubblepaw:

Moon 17

Lightningstar thinks about retiring?? Dude, you still have 9 lives and you're only 60 moons.

Mosaicspots met a loner named Bug who was skilled with herbs, and who brought her three kits to the Clan: Flutterkit, Jackdawkit, and Jaggedkit. Bug took on the Warrior name, Bugdapple.

Bugdapple:

Flutterkit:

Jackdawkit:

Jaggedkit:

Moon 18

Apparently Piperpaw had a dream from StarClan. There are enough medicine cats at the moment, but Podpelt is keeping an eye on that.

And we adopted ANOTHER ex-kittypet. This one was named Twist, and is now Willowtwist.

Willowtwist:

We're really running a very effective campaign to grow the Clan, which is very exciting for me.

Moon 19

BrightClan took some of our territory! Presumably because we antagonized them but still that's very rude.

Hawkflare is all healed up, though I'm choosing to imagine that her jaw remains misaligned because it was broken before.

Flutterkit is apprenticed by Hawkflare and made Flutterpaw, Jackdawkit is now Jackdawpaw and apprenticed to Willowtwist, and Jaggedkit becomes Jaggedpaw and is apprenticed to Asterscratch.

Oh no, I just realized Jaggedpaw appears to have a significant scar on his paw/leg. I don't think that's what he was named for, as he's a tabby so I think the name probably refers to his pelt, but I do think he may have limited movement in that paw with the old injury.

Cypresstuft attempted to steal prey from BrightClan, but Heatherheart, being an EXCELLENT Deputy (seriously I love her so much) stepped in to stop her.

Splashfern was bitten in a scrap with BearClan along that border.

Hawkflare:

Flutterpaw:

Jackdawpaw:

Jaggedpaw:

Moon 20

Podpelt, one of the medicine cats, slipped and dislocated a shoulder. Though Toadclaw did something similar, so maybe there was some bad frost one morning.

Cliffkit became Cliffpaw, mentored by Cypresstuft (not... the cat I would have ever picked to be a mentor, Lightningstar, but okay sure), and Puddlekit became Puddlepaw, mentored by Fogstripe, her own mother.

When she became an apprentice, Puddlepaw was excited by the prospect of hunting down a rabbit, or possibly a fox. Then, in that excitement on her first day out, she mistook a hare for a rabbit and had her eyes scratched as a result. She is in the medicine den now.

Cliffpaw:

Puddlepaw:

Moon 21

Jackdawpaw gave Bugdapple a poppy, which she now wears proudly

Bubblepaw got his new warrior name: Bubblespalsh. He is now expressing ambitions to become the next deputy.

Bubblesplash:

A patrol met a loner named Habanero

Habanero:

Attempting to get back the land that they stole, Asterscratch died. Heatherheart has taken over Jaggedpaw's mentorship as a result.

Bugdapple got frostbite while looking for herbs.

Moon 22

Piperpaw gets his full warrior name: Piperfur!

Willowtwist has greencough

A patrol met a loner named Grave!

A patrol found Daisy, a cat from outside the Clans, near the Thunderpath with head trauma. She has taken the name Daisypelt, but is being cared for in the medicine den.

Weedshade got stuck in a twoleg trap while hunting and was taken away.

Moon 5

Cypresstuft is healed but scarred from her snake bite.

Mosaic is also fully healed, and now goes by the warrior name: Mosaicspots.

On a hunting patrol, Dawnsky is killed by a wolverine.

Moon 6

All on her own, Speckleshine drove a dog off the territory.

Cypresstuft.... is down again with yet another bite. This one from a cat. Good going Cypresstuft.

Moon 7

Speckleshine has whitecough.

Mosaicspots is pregnant! No idea who the other parent is, but I imagine someone outside of the Clan because she was a former loner/kittypet, and has no romance bar with anyone in the Clan.

Moon 8

Cypresstuft is all healed up yet again!

Moon 9

Speckleshine is healed of whitecough, but can you guess who is now laid up with the same disease? Yeah. It's Cypresstuft. Poor cat gets everything.

OH OH INTERESTING. Mosaicspots gave birth to one kit, Piperkit. The other parent is Speckleshine. They do not know each other at all. Like. No bars for either of them. Fascinating. Maybe Mosaicspots just wanted to feel included in the Clan?

Piperkit:

A border patrol including Heatherheart, Splashpaw, Lightningstar, Asterscratch, and Speckleshine ran into a loner who has skills as a healer, so Podpelt has joined the Clan. I imagine she was disgraced from BearClan... though I'm not sure why yet.

Podpelt:

BLOOMBROOK DIED. There was a snowstorm while he was out hunting, desperate to fill the fresh kill pile. He hid in a cave, but seemingly froze to death out there. Lightningstar will be heartbroken.

Moon Ten

Lightningstar chooses Speckleshine to be the next deputy.

Heatherheart now has whitecough.

Weedshade made it home!!

FOR SOME REASON, a patrol consisting of Speckleshine, Weedshade, Splashpaw, and Asterscratch decided to antagonize a BearClan patrol.

Moon Eleven

Splashpaw is now Splashfern!

Heatherheart and Cypresstuft are healed of whitecough!

Glintspots is apparently caught breaking the warrior code. Hm...

Podpelt was too slow to save a group of kits whose mother had already died.

By the way, here's Piperkit now that he's gotten a bit older:

Bloombrook is the Deputy

And for medicine cat... Glintspots!

LightningClan lives in the Mountain Cavern environment.

Moon 0:

The StarClan guide is Fleetfreckle:

As for the Clan, we have...

Lightningstar:

His lives were for: compassion, acceptance, hope, courage, mentoring, persistence, farsightedness, faith, and tireless energy

Bloombrook:

Glintspots:

Dawnsky

Speckleshine:

Asterscratch:

Cypresstuft:

Heatherpaw:

Weedpaw:

Splashkit:

Of course nobody randomized in with mates, but I do like the idea that there could be mates in the group, so I'm going to randomize that on my own.

Lightningtstar and Bloombrook are mates! Boyfriend leaders!

Dawnsky and Fleetfreckle were mates in life (though of course I can't represent this in-game until Dawnsky dies). But... hell yeah gay rights the only starting mates are queer! Love when RNG does that.

Events:

Cypresstuft, Asterscratch, Speckleshine, Heatherpaw, and Dawnsky went on a border patrol. They encountered a small dog, which they drove off, but Cypresstuft was bitten.

Moon 1:

Heatherpaw is now Heatherheart, honoured for her responsibility. I imagine that she was promoted as a result of her part in driving off the dog. Maybe she managed to rescue Cypresstuft!

Speckleshine is in the medicine den with a stomach ache, but wants to go on patrol with his former apprentice, Heatherheart. Which is cute!

Meanwhile, Cypresstuft is engaging himself while he heals in the medicine den by telling Weedpaw and Splashkit stories. Which makes sense, as he's a good speaker.

Heatherheart has ambitions to become deputy one day.

Splashkit, the only kit in the Clan, for two moons in a row now, wants to stop being babied. KID YOU ARE A BABY.

Asterscratch, Heatherheart, Lightningstar, and Weedpaw all went on a border patrol. They found the body of a dead kittypet whose twolegs dropped them off in the wild and then drove off.

Dawnsky and Speckleshine also went on a border patrol. They encountered a dog but, possibly because there are only two of them, decided to report it rather than attacking.

Moon 2:

Lightningstar, Weedpaw, Dawnsky, and Heatherheart went on a border patrol. They met a loner named Mosaic, and invited her to join the Clan. She is a former kittypet who is suffering from a bite-wound. If she heals up/lives, Lightningstar has decided she will be given a warrior name!

Asterscratch and Speckleshine met a BearClan patrol and decided to antagonize them. They were intimidated. It made inter-Clan relations worse.

Moon 3:

Heatherheart was stolen by twolegs but managed to escape. She now wears a rainbow bow collar (and is cute as a button)

Splashkit was made an apprentice. His name is now Splashpaw, and his mentor is Heatherheart (one step closer to that deputyship).

CYPRESSTUFT. This cat. Healed from the dog bite. Then got bitten by a venomous snake and "miraculously survived". Lord.

Weedpaw was made a warrior with the name Weedshade, and was honoured for his stealth.

Cypresstuft also has a little bit of a crush on Heatherheart, and Heatherheart has the SMALLEST POSSIBLE bit of romantic affection back for her. It's another gay relationship. RNG is saying "no straight cats in LightningClan" and I am not complaining.

Also, hilariously, Weedshade absolutely adores (platonic) Heatherheart, and she doesn't care about him in any way.

Heatherheart and Splashpaw went on a border patrol, and they met a loner named Freya!

Freya:

- The game said Kinkfur was “strange” and somehow I apparently interpreted that as “uncanny”.

- Even though all the founders randomize in with no families, I like to imagine that Turtlejaw is Ashenwing’s older sister. Something about the sweet StarClan guide being the older sister of the Clan’s most bloodthirsty warrior is hilarious to me.

- Sunnyflame’s colours make me so happy to look at in her sprite in-game.

- Snappaw being ambitious and Brookstar’s apprentice… I like to imagine she wore Brookstar down the whole time they were first setting the Clan up.

- Fun fact: I seriously considered making Jaythorn the Medicine Cat before ultimately settling on Kinkfur. And then Jaythorn randomized in with the “strong connection to StarClan” trait.
