#adderclan

Duskstar is the young and boisterous leader of Adderclan, ready to tackle anything the world throws his clan’s way.

Mistybreeze is a senior warrior of Toadclan who is extremely skeptical of Starclan and would rather spend the day gossiping versus performing their duties.

Viperstep is a new warrior of Rabbitclan who excels at tracking and has mild breathing issues.

Swanfoot is a brash, outspoken warrior of Ravenclan that believes the other clans don’t deserve their territory and that it should belong to Ravenclan. 

Burningstar

Currently leader of Adderclan and formerly known as Burninghollow.

The oldest of the original three leaders, Burningstar is a superstitious and bull-headed old Molly. Very much her way or the highway. She takes the warrior code extremely seriously and literally, often to the detriment of others these days.

Story:

Adderjaw trained in the Dark Forest as long as she could remember. She had always strived to become leader one day and rule with an iron claw. 

She always viewed cats around her as inferior and only respected a few cats. One cat was brave enough to ask her to be his mate, that cat being Muddyfoot. He was a very kind, loving, and sweet tom. Adderjaw took notice of the efforts and accepted.

The two eventually had kits, Adderjaw named Talonkit and Muddyfoot named Fluffkit. Adderjaw showed favouritism with her children, favouring Talonkit because he was larger and appeared more fierce. 

Eventually, their kits were apprenticed, and by that time, Burrcurl had joined the Dark Forest. Burrcurl had revealed the fact that there was "tainted blood in Windclan," and that she needs to eliminate it. Adderjaw, and her little cult following, launched an attack on Windclan. The raid did not go in their favour, considering that the Clan outnumbers the few Thunderclan cats.

Adderjaw and her followers were exiled from Thunderclan for their stunt. She invited her mate and kits to join her, but they refused. Adderjaw and her group took refuge in Twolegplace, meeting a group of rogues in the process. 

Adderjaw attempted to recruit the rogues to help her take over the Clans, but their leader turned her proposals down. In response, Adderjaw killed him in front of their followers.

Now with a group tripled in size, Adderjaw aimed for the nearest Clan to take over, Riverclan. 

She caught the leader and deputy, Boulderstar and Siltripple, off guard and the group killed them swiftly. She than took Boulderstar's dead body and impaled it on a sharp stone, knowing he would come back to life. The stone ended up stripping him of the rest of his lives, leaving him dead for good.

Adderjaw and her groupies waltzed in like they're about to own the place with the bodies in tow. She initiated a hostile takeover. The only cat brave enough to talk back was Goldenstream, Boulderstar's mate. Adderjaw took this as well as she could, by killing the disobediant she-cat in front of the entire Clan, her two daughters, and grandkits, to make a point to not to test her.

Adderjaw headed to the Moonstone to gain her lives. Starclan begrudgingly gave her her nine lives, dubbing her Adderstar. 

The next gathering was a surprise for everyone. Adderstar once again offered Muddyfoot and her two kits to join her. Muddyfoot and Fluffpaw continued to refuse, but Talonpaw joined his mother.

In the following moons, Adderstar attacked Thunderclan with her army of Riverclan warriors and rogues. They end up winning and merged both Clans into Adderclan. Muddyfoot was appalled that Adderfoot went to such lengths, and in response, left with Fluffpaw to Windclan. 

When Muddyfoot left her view, Adderstar had shed tears for the first time, confusing her greatly.

Eventually, all the Clans met up at Fourtrees for a final battle, Adderclan v.s. Windclan and Shadowclan. Before the battle, Adderstar continued to ask Muddyfoot to reconsider joining. Muddyfoot once again refused for the final time. 

Adder was at this point fed up with this, and impulsively leapted, claws outstretched. Muddyfoot sheaths his claws and accepted his fate. 

Adderstar killed Muddyfoot. 

She looked down at the mangled body of her mate, and completely broke down. Sobs wracked her body as she commanded Adderclan to attack.

After a long battle, Adderstar was backed into a corner, while cats overhead broke off a branch from one of the trees, which fell on top of  Adderstar. 

She came back, but the damage internally was too much, so she continued going and coming back. The rogues in Adderclan were terrified of this display, and all flee. After a long while of staring, Adderstar finally lay still, and her reign of terror was over.

She woke in the Dark Forest, and was met face-to-face with the sorrowful gaze of Muddyfoot, on the other side of the barrier between afterlifes.

Additional Information:

--Submission by @boogurl405​

--Adderstar genuinely loved Muddyfoot, which is why she kept asking for him to side with her so they could rule together. When she leapt, it was an act of blind fury not directed at anybody, but she's so use to taking out her aggression through fighting, it just happened.

--Following the battle, Talonpaw has an existential breakdown about his mother using him and proceeds to tear off all of his claws, front and back. He retires to the elders’ den early and is named Talonspirit. His sister is named Fluffspirit. Damn.

--Adder never named a deputy, thinking she would live forever from her massive ego boost with her lives. The cat who stepped up to be lead Riverclan after her death was Timberface, Boulderstar's daughter.

--The cats who made the branch fall were Gopherear and another rogue she was friends with and knew through her rogue partner.

--A song that Boo thinks fits with Adderstar and Muddyfoot's relationship is "Monsters" by All Time Low (the version with Demi Lovato).

--(This also ties in with Bristletail and Burrcurl's storyline to avoid confusion)

--Another thing to note is that Muddyfoot still visited her in Twolegplace, because he loved her that much. At one point, Adderjaw invited him to join, but he turned it down.
