Moonclan lived alongside the wolves they worked with for years upon years, longer than any cat could remember. When you saw them, you would give a greeting. If you found extra prey on patrol, you gave some to your friendly canine neighbors. In return, they would protect the clan from the largest threats in the mountains.
Unfortunately, neither Moonclan nor the wolves could prepare for the biggest threat: the Twolegs. Unbeknownst to both the cats and wolves, these humans were called poachers, and were overhunting out of season. The wolves began to starve, unable to subside on the small prey that the cats could.
Eventually, the wolves had no other choice. They launched an attack on the allies they had had for years, hunting them down for food. Some ran successfully, but most died at the teeth of the animals they trusted for their whole lives.
A small group of apprentices found themselves frantically protecting a kit-the only kit in the clan that hadn't already been evacuated. At the mouth of the den stood a she-wolf. The apprentices hissed and spat at her, and her face looked downtrodden. At that moment, she realized that she couldn't hurt these cats, no matter how hungry she was.
So she led them out, tearing a hole in the den to lead them out of camp that way. Far away, she helped them to a cavern higher in the mountains, introducing herself as Duck Nest. The eight escaped cats were forever grateful to her, declaring their new clan to be named Duckclan as they gave each other their new names, stating that they had to be warriors now, because they were on their own.
Howdy everyone! Welcome to Duckclan, a clangen clan where every cat is apprentice-age, save for the one kit!
My plan is to post a few moons every 2-4 days. Every in game 3 years I will make a small post updating everyone on the cats currently in the clan.
Below the cut, you can find our clan!
Crowstar - 11 Moons old - Male - Leader - 9 lives remaining
A nervous cat, Crowstar is the oldest in the clan, and the one who first banded the group together to protect Downykit. Ever since he'd been very young, he'd been interested in being a nursery king and taking care of the kits of the clan. Despite his want, he felt he had to step up, guided by the blessing given to him by Downykit's mother, Sporeshade, who died in the wolf attack.
He's not sure how well he can lead a clan, but he hopes to do well.
Shimmerscratch - 11 Moons old - Male - Deputy
Shimmerscratch likes to think of himself as thoughtful and clever, and he was in fact the first cat to realize there was something wrong with the wolves. He endlessly regrets not being able to figure out exactly what, and hopes to eventually make up for his perceived mistake. As of now, he's happy with his position, and he is the second oldest cat in the clan, only about a week younger than Crowstar.
Despite being a deputy, Shimmerscratch has no doubts that he won't be the one to succeed Crowstar.
Antlertree - 10 Moons Old - Male - Medicine Cat
Having been trained as a medicine cat apprentice before Moonclan was attacked, Antlertree was the no brainer for the medicine cat of the newly founded Duckclan. He's quite good in remembering the tales of old, meaning he's able to keep Moonclan alive in stories, despite everything else from it being destroyed.
He wants to train an apprentice as soon as possible.
Hyacinthpelt - 11 Moons Old - Male - Warrior
The only cat in Duckclan not born in Moonclan, Hyacinthpelt was found in a patch of his namesake when he was just a little kit, his mother having fallen victim to the hooves of a startled deer. He never trusted the wolves that Moonclan loved so much, and was an outcast because of it. While extremely distressed at the events that played out that day, Hyacinthpelt does feel a little relieved that he wasn't entirely being stupid.
Unbeknownst to him, his bloodline comes from the very distant Lotusclan, who have the ability to see ghosts. He isn't aware of this yet, as he was too young for his mother to tell him before she died. He's in for a very rude awakening with the recent mass death.
Mosspurr - 10 Moons Old - Female - Warrior
Fluffy, charismatic, and a peace lover, Mosspurr has always been interested in the way that traits are passed from parent to kit. She's fond of the long, thick fur of Moonclan cats, and she's hoping that that kind of fur can continue with Duckclan. Very fond of kits, she's interested to know what traits from her family she'd pass to any she had.
Her mane is genetic, and she gets it from her father's side of the family. She has an abnormally large amount of testosterone in her blood for a she-cat, causing her to be larger than most.
Stemspots - 9 Moons Old - Female - Warrior
Ambitious is a good word to describe Stemspots-she's constantly trying to do her best and prove herself. Her specific family line has always seemed to be the cats that can get up the mountain the best, and she carries that trait, with strong front paws and powerful haunches that can send her flying with a well aimed leap. She believes herself to be a descendant of bobcats that joined the clan, and she feels upset that there's absolutely no way to prove it.
She's hoping to be a mentor soon despite being apprentice age herself.
Fernpelt - 8 Moons Old - Male - Warrior
With the shortest fur in Duckclan, Fernpelt is trying his best to not worry about what he's gonna do during the winter. Despite his recent kittypet blood [with his grandmother being one], Fernpelt was confident in his place in Moonclan, and is now even more confident in his place in Duckclan.
He's distantly related to the same group of bobcats that Stemspots is related to, but they themselves are not related.
Downykit - 3 Moons Old - Male - Kit
Though he greatly misses his mother, Sporeshade, Downykit is doing his best to keep a happy face, being the light and the love of the clan. After all, the reason they all banded together was to keep him safe. He's a charming little guy, and frequently wants to play with the older cats.
He can't wait to be a warrior, and is hoping he's apprenticed to Stemspots in particular.
Though I have not drawn her, here's our Starclan guide and Downykit's mom, Sporeshade.

Aaaand we're back! Antler's being a boyfail, Rocky starts training [featuring his mom Spitfire, designed by a friend], and Gold gets a little runny nose :(
Fern gets back up, Stem and Downy get sick, and Antler begins to think he might like dudes.
The mountain clans have a different view of medicine cats having kits than the clans we know. Medcats are required to have trained an apprentice before they can take on a mate. Other than that, there's no real restrictions.
Antler puts his skills to the test, Fern has a bad time, Shimmer reencounters his new friend, Ant tries to put these cats in their place, and Mosspurr babyrage.
Fun fact about Moss: she also goes by neopronouns! She/Purr :3!
Also, as funny as it is to imagine, no, Shimmer's chihuahua friend was not the same dog who injured Fern's tail. Fern's tail was injured by a bigger dog.
This was as much of a surprise to me when it happened as I imagine it'll be to all of you! I can't wait for you all to meet her kits [just gotta wait until Moon 15!]. I hope I conveyed her expression well, but she is VERY happy over this fact. A little upset that she'll have to spend time in the nursery, but in her head it's all worth it.
As you can tell, this is just part 1! So many things happened in moon 13 I'll have to split it up lol
