i wanted to get the four matriarchs outta the way. especially possumtooth, i really wanted an excuse to get possumtooth on paper
anyway, i structured the ‘‘clans’‘ differently than the books, and i wanted to kind of base them more on real life feral cat coloneys except, more? i think i mighta talked about it before, but they’ve got matriarchs and heirs, going down a more or less familial lineage. I also wanted my four matriarchs to be fairly diverse in terms of age/personality/situation. I’m gonna ramble about the four of them under the cut.
ok so we’ll go oldest to youngest.
Violetwhisker is the oldest, her coloney lives in a cliffside. shes a good leader, and makes smart decisions, but shes kinda pissy and over all pesimistic. her kits are Poppyspot and Roseheart, her grandkits being littlepaw and sweetpaw. I wanted her to show a more experienced and otherwise older matriarch.
Doeheart is the next oldest, only a moon or so older than Dusklight. her coloney lives in a long dried up irrigation/tunnel system near a creek. She has.. a strained relationship with her daughters, especially her oldest, Pine’snow. her other kits are Ripplefur and Speckle’stone. Ripplefur is the youngest of the three and works as one of the coloney’s med cats. Now, in Doe’s case, her mother Misty’eye was brought into the coloney and then voted into being the new matriarch after the last one was kicked out (its a whole ordeal honestly) and now Doe feels this pressure to be only the best leader and it puts a damper on her kits. Pine feels that Doe expects to much of her and her sisters and doesn’t want that for her kit, pebblekit. (its also a whole ordeal)
moving on, Dusklight is Crowflower’s aunt! I don’t quite know where i want her to live, all the good spots are already taken by the other clans lol, but i will think of something later!! uhhh,, anyway, Dusklight never had any kits and i dont think she wants to at her age, so instead of her kits, its either her sister Dawnwhisper, or Dawn’s kit Sun’fall. (Crow’s mom) (Moondust left to help another coloney and never came back, but hes a tomcat anyway) shes a good leader with a level head and a compassionate heart.
Possumtooth is a particularly special case. Her mother and older siblings passed very suddenly, leaving her as the sole heir. between inexperience and greif she had a hard time at the beginning of her leadership. Her girlfriend, Thistlefur, helped her through it and overall she has gotten a lot of help from the coloney’s elders and community. Thistle also ended up as her heir- at least for now, seeing as they don’t have any kits adopted or otherwise. I wanted her- beside just thinking a tiny, scrappy little cat as the ‘‘scary’‘ clan’s leader would be cute- i wanted her to show that not all the matriarchs are old wise cats, and that its also good to bring together the coloney and rely on eachother even in leadership positions. 2 years after taking her role shes still going strong :) I couldn’t fit it in earlier but her coloney lives in an old barn that half burned down

anddd this one is Doeheart! An outcast goliath paladin with sicc tats. she’s a certified Punch Mom and she’ll show u a better Decapitation Technique then make you lunch.
Due to the upcoming cold brought by leaf-bare winds, some of the plants Hazelfur uses to treat the clan cats have died. He has herbs stored away, but he hopes he won’t have to use too many for fear he’ll run out during an emergency. He already doesn’t have the rainbow beetles that can save a cat on the brink of death, and has yet to find a plasma beetle that could help with whatever illness poor Bumblekit seems to have.
Doeheart manages to fall ill, Hazelfur’s herbs only making her feel worse. They can only hope that she will recover on her own with rest.
Oatdive and Halftalon get into a fight with an intruder close to the end of the moon, only earning a few scratches as they chase the intruder away.

exasperation saturates sigh that slips from parted lips, echoed in the hand that drags through tousled locks of blonde. common room gone quiet but for two who sit before the fire now, a sprawl of books and parchment set out before them (LILY doing most studying, MARLENE but picking through, nibbling on a sugar quill, distracted.)
“i know you only want to see the best in him, lily, but - -” ((and this she can’t understand, SHE’S never liked (snivellus) severus.)) “sometimes the truth IS simple. and those people he’s spending his time with now? they aren’t good news. lils, some of them would hex you as soon as look at you just because you’re muggleborn.”
some truths are simple, starkly black-and-white, so sharp & clear she feels them deep in marrow, deep in blood. the right-and-wrong, the true & false. myths of blood purity and use of dark magic entwining.
“look-...” shuffles through the papers, draws a book (reluctantly) toward her. “i’m not saying you shouldn’t be friends with him just because he’s a slytherin or because he has greasy hair or because i haven’t liked him since you introduced us. i’m not saying that at all. just...be careful, okay? you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep, mum always said. and mostly i agree. there’s fondness for dark magic in that circle, scary stuff. i just don’t want you getting hurt.”
& little smile, then, she reaches out to lightly tug loose strand of auburn hair. “because if you were, i’d have to go after whoever did it, , and who knows if i’d ever get out of detention, in the end??”
doeheart replied to your post: ugh marlene just!! loved life!! so much!! someone...
ok but consider: lils hearing abt her death and just :)))) being completely and utterly devastated bc everybody she knows and loves are dropping like flies :)))
mimi legit i!! i was just thinking about this!! like yesterday? lily mentioning in the letter to sirius HOW MUCH SHE CRIED when marlene died! i am a W R E C K.like “ but that was probably the news about the McKinnons; I cried all evening when I heard” BYE
i love u more angel heart 💖💝 thank u so much for taking time & reading my byf, it means more than u can imagine !! i hope u had the loveliest of day/night 💫✨💘
