After a few days of wait, here's Moon 9! When Moon 10 is posted, I'll take a break from writing out moons to take some QnA asks.
Downy gets his full name as his mother watches on, Stem gets better, we have our technical first death, and Hyacinth receives what he can only conclude to be a prophecy.
Today we have a few things to cover! First off, the rogue that takes Crowstar's first life is Jackdawlight, submitted by my friend Lyrebird!
Second off, the cat with purple lineart is Flurryshade, a Moonclan warrior who died in the wolf attack. She was made by my friend Slasher.
Third off, say hello to Jill! Jill, the green lineart cat, is Crowstar's mom! She was an ex kittypet who was paralyzed after a rogue attack, which also caused her to lose her first litter. Her twolegs threw her out and she came to Moonclan, eventually falling in love with Crowstar's father and having Crow, which she thought would be impossible due to her condition. While she didn't die to the wolves themselves, she got caught in a bear trap and lost her leg, dying to bloodloss. It's probably pretty obvious what fictional character she's based on, and I'd love to hear guesses!
Now to explain why Flurry and Jill look different to how we've seen Starclan cats: Starclan cats have a third state I haven't explained yet! When giving a prophecy, Starclan cats appear fully solid, and are lined with their pupil color.
If you're confused on if something is actually happening in a scene or if it's a vision, look for bright neon colors [like the water in the river vision]
