Blueriver, Keeper of River Colony

Take me back

Leod: Nothing juices me up more than a rough terrain. Florence: FINALLY, a man of culture.

Keepers and Herbalists

Keepers in River Colony have a long tradition of creating beautiful stone patterns in the sand, decorating dens with shells, and telling stories to kittens of the Alliance’s history and legends. They made River Colony’s base one of the prettiest locations around the lake, with Mangrooves surrounding the outer side of the river and lovely hibiscus flowers blooming around the base.

These traditions have come under fire since Rainfall’s took over the Colony. Many of the Keepers' roles were deemed frivolous and a waste of time. Why look to the past when they should all be focusing on their glorious future? That’s what the Spirits Beyond would want for the Spirits to Come. So now the only task of value that the Keepers perform is looking after the Colony’s kittens and teaching them to swim as soon as possible so that they can get started on their Field Training, but they have failed to meet even those most basic expectations. 

Numerous kittens have drowned under the so-called “caring and watchful” eyes of the Keepers. Rainfall has called out the Keepers' incompetence and many can see how the Captain disdains them. Only Rangers seeking to reap Rainfall’s ire would think of becoming a Keeper in River Colony now.

Pine, Umber, and Snow - River Colony Kittens

Family: Blueriver (mother) and Pineclaw (father)

Pine, Umber, and Snow are Blueriver and Pineclaw’s first litter. Like every young cat, they probably feel like they are growing up in completely normal circumstances, but that couldn’t be further from the case. Since before they were born, many plans and expectations were already in place for this litter. Nieces and nephews of Captain Rainfall, and the further legacy of Frozenpool, their grandfather, there is no escape for these kittens from their Grand Destiny. 

At least, that’s how their family sees things. For many in River Colony, the special treatment and pressure put onto any cat from Frozenpool’s line is beginning to cause a fair amount of concern. Their ancestors never put much stock in lineage before, why now? Can these kittens grow up in a healthy way with all this meddling? What about the other kittens and New-Claws who are starting to see this favoritism in the Colony as normal?
