Moon 3 - A Warrior's Name

"Wooow and you beat the whole WindClan invasion all by yourself?" "Not the entire party but a lot of them." "Wow, Briarpelt, you're probably the best warrior ever." Briarpelt fluffed her fur, feeling her cheeks grow hot. "You're strong, smart, brave, beautiful..." "Beautiful?" Briarpelt looked up, staring at Chip as he smiled back at her. "Yeah...beautiful."  --- Meet Owlwhisker's dad everyone! Kittypet Chip. I changed his design a bit from the way I described him on my blog. I don't know why I decided to draw this. I was drawing prizes and writing and I guess i needed a break so I drew something else lol  --- Like my work?

Could we perhaps hear a bit about Briarpaw/pelt's former mentor?

it's so sweet of you to send an ask in! and yeah, i do plan on continuing this, but i'm currently in finals hell 😅 i hope to get some drawing done before summer is over! it means so, so incredibly much to me to see people going through my blog, and asks like this make me so happy that i started this :))

briarpelt's mentor was an older female warrior named snakejaw. she was heavily respected in the clan, fairly strict, and a gifted fighter. briarpelt was apprenticed to her because he was a troublesome, rowdy kit, and she was an experienced mentor who was more than capable of keeping him in line. since briarpelt was found as an abandoned kit by the clan, he looked up to her like family.

when the sickness hit the clan, snakejaw held out for longer than almost all the other warriors, but she was an older cat. eventually, even she got sick, and briarpelt's training slowed, then stopped. he was left to his own devices, and... well. you all have seen where that got him. when he went missing, snakejaw was feverish in the medicine den. she didn't discover that the kits were gone until someone told her, days later.

snakejaw is still alive in their former clan, though she has a nasty lingering cough from the illness, and can't get around as quickly as she used to. she took it hard when her apprentice went missing, and hasn't taken another since.

Warrior stuff

Wcsona

Name: Maplemoon

Clan: Thunderclan

Warrior

Age: 21 moons

Appearance: a Norwegian forest cat calico mix, with lots of fluffy fur. she has black, gray, and orange spots all over her back and tail, and the top of her head, sometimes overlapping eachother. She has a spot just above her eyes, and right in the middle of her face. The spot is black, and shaped like a crescent moon pointing downwards. Her left ear is black, and the right ear is orange, both are slightly torn. her underbelly, face, and legs are a creamy white. The fur along her neck is slightly longer than the rest of her fur. She has a three horizontal scars on the top of her right hind leg, and tip of her left ear torn off. her impressive muscles are hidden in the fluff. Her eyes are a deep green.

Personality: she's sweet and caring, and a pretty good warrior, but also thinks she's the absolute worst at everything she does. One negative comment can send her into 1. A rage or 2. Self loathing for the rest of the day, sometimes both. She likes to keep busy, and due to this, she has multiple hobbies to keep her mind working for when she isn't working. She loves feathers, and has a little collection in her nest. She likes telling stories, and will often visit the nursery to tell these little tales to the kits, and will sometimes tell the scarier ones to the appentices after a long day. She paces along the camp when there is nothing else to do.

Backstory: she was found abandoned as a kit by thunderclan, who took her in, and she got her scars from a fight with a fox that was getting a little too close to camp, which she won, though she didn't kill the fox, just made it run away.

Oc

Name: Berrydew

Clan: Riverclan

Riverclan medicine cat

Age: 36 moons.

Appearance: she is a creamy white Scottish fold, who has a cropped tail due to an accident, she has a one soft violet eye, and the other is a sparkling blue, and is slightly chubby. She was the runt in the litter, and due to this, is very small and short.

Personality: a kind, shy, medicine cat, who stumbles over her words a lot. She takes her job in the clan very seriously. She's full of love, and cares for every cat that might stumble into her medicine den, but if you get injured for a stupid reason, she will joke and bring up the fact that it was stupid.

Backstory: she was a kittypet for a while, before she left her home for a new life.

Oc number 2

Name: Briarpelt

Clan: windclan

Warrior

Apprentice: Lilypaw

Age: 23 moons

Appearance: she's a bobcat. She's a big, tall cat, with sharp ears, a short, stubby tail. Her fur is rough and sharp, prickly and rough, hence her name. Her eyes are a bright yellow. She has a three thin scars going horizontally across her back.

Personality: she's tough and loud, and always has at least a little sarcasm in her, though she does mean well. She has a much softer side as well, but likes to keep it hidden from others she deems are not worthy to see this side.

Backstory: was found abandoned as a kit, and was taken in by riverclan, given a new mother, and where she was raised to be a warrior.

Oc number 3

Name: Echofur

Clan: Shadowclan

Warrior

Age: 61 moons.

Appearance: he is a Maine coon with light brown fur and a black strip around his neck. He is thick with muscle, and thus is a big, strong, cat. His dark brown eyes keep a steady, calm gaze. His fur is soft, smooth, and shiny. He has a large scar across his left eye, blinding him in his left eye.

Personality: a very quiet, calm cat, though this does not stop him from being intimidating. He doesn't speak unless he feels he absolutely must. (I.e. when Sol said that Starclan was powerless, which he heavily disagreed with) though he is getting up there in years, he does not plan to retire to the else's den anytime soon. He is hard to move, both in the physical sense and the metaphorically sense, once he sets his mind it takes a great deal of force to change his mind.

Backstory: was born into Shadowclan.

Oc number 4

Name: Lilypaw (becomes Lilybloom when she becomes a warrior)

Clan: windclan

Apprentice to Briarpelt

Age: 9 moons

Appearance: a white cat with a brown tabby back and legs. Her eyes are a sharp green, her right leg is scarred up pretty bad, but she can still use her leg. Her short hair fur is soft and smooth.

Personality: she's bright eyed and naive, yet full of determation and the desire to succeed. She's full of love and compassion. She loves going on adventures and moving around, and can't sit still for more than five seconds. She absolutely adores her mentor, and anyone Briarpelt associates with. She wants to impress Briarpelt in anyway she can. She is allowed to see Briarpelt's soft side, and sees her as the one who took care of her all of her life.
