#cometstar

Orchidseed had her first litter:

Wolverinebite, Salamanderpuddle, Cometstar, Asphodelhawk, Belladonnanight, Cormorantsplash Periwinklesun, Wisteriadance, Dragonflyflame, Mantispetal, Avalanchewhisper, Kingfisherbeak

This litter was fathered by Webstripe, Cloudfall, Warblermoon, and Batroot

~14 moons later~

Orchidseed had her second litter:

Goosethistle (aka Goosepoppy/Goosewillow/Gooseripple)

Goosethistle was born very sick and prematurely, and both he and Orchidseed were very ill following his birth. It was thanks to Asphodelhawk and the rest of the first litter that they were able to pull through. Asphodelhawk's care allowed her to receive her full name as a medicine cat (the rest of her siblings already had theirs, as medicine cats train longer).

Goose was fathered by Cricketclaw.

This litter was fathered by Raccoonstar and Forestshimmer.

~23 moons later~

Orchidseed had her fourth litter:

Rubbledust, Clearsong, Flurrybreeze, Blazefox, Pondswan (biological)

This litter was fathered by Applefoot, Rabbitsky, and Petalsand

.

~1 moon later~

Roughly a moon after her kits were born, her older kits found Saltkit/stone and Woodkit/light and brought them to her. They were adopted and raised with the biological litter.

.

.

~4 moons later~

Goldenkit/soul was found and adopted by the group, reuniting with his biological siblings, Woodkit and Saltkit.

Golden, Wood, and Salt's biological parents are Morningsky and Geckospots

~41 moons later~

Orchidseed had her fifth litter:

Berryeye, Cherrycry, Applefly, Peachpaw

Congratulations to this month's featured follower, @crumchylettuce ! She's been leaving lots of excellent commentary on my posts for a while and it always brightens my day.

The OC she asked me to highlight is Cometstar, the self-appointed ruler of the dark forest in their AU. He was condemned to the dark forest after destroying both ThunderClan and ShadowClan in an act of jealous revenge. Scary!

warrior oc design commissions from December!

A quiet, fearless leader, Cometstar pushes her cats onwards in the face of hardship with impressive resolve, constantly setting the best example she can for them. When their old leader disappeared without a trace, she was the sole thing holding them together, and continues to be so even now. At times she comes off as emotionless due to her nigh unflappable calmness, but her deputy and medicine cat both know better. Lately, she's been receiving strange visions from Starclan of a mysterious loner threatening all her Clan holds dear- she's determined to stop it and keep her cats safe, at whatever cost necessary.

Cometstar

(R = blue, F = orange)

(R = top, F = bottom)

(F = fire, R = calm)

Anyways I like to think Raccoon isn't so much the ball of sunshine so much as he's just innocent. I like to think he's more the chill one that can quickly see the solution to a problem and tells everyone else to calm down. He can get frustrated though, especially when Forest or Asphodel repeatedly cause trouble. Just because he feels more or less calm doesn't mean he won't yell at someone for doing something stupid.

both bc I think the dynamic between leader and medicine cat siblings is really cute and because the name cometstar sounds cool as fuck

the one question is, who should her leader mentor be? I'm torn between snailstar and darksoot (though he prefers to go by his warrior name, he technically still is a leader...)

oooh love this idea!

The mentor would definitely depend on what Cometstar is like. If Darksoot were to mentor her, she would be really positive and friendly, possibly also naive (and that would contrast well with her best friend/sister Asphodel, who would make sure no one tries to trick her sis)
