lightningclaw: born to a skyclan queen and an unknown loner tom. lightningkit was a very shy and timid kit whose heritage left him an orphan when his mother died. the only cats who managed to befriend him were flamekit and lionkit, and only through them did he manage to come out of his shell, becoming a snarky and spirited young apprentice. the three cats were inseperable. as a warrior, lightningclaw realized that he was in love with flameheart, but he kept his feelings for the tortoiseshell tom a secret since it was clear that flameheart and lionstrike would soon become mates. lonely all over again and looking for someone to fill that void, lightningclaw entered a relationship with a she-cat named shellfang. shellfang was very possessive and controlling over lightningclaw, which deeply worried flameheart and lionstrike, but lightningclaw would only snap whenever they showed concern. they had a kit named sparkkit, whom lightningclaw loved dearly. when shellfang was exiled for conspiring with the aforementioned shitty leaders, lightningclaw moved into the nursery to care for his son, still dealing with the fear that shellfang would return to hurt them again. he mended bonds with flameheart and lionstrike before going on a journey to find other halfclan cats who had been wrongfully exiled. on that journey he saved sootwhisker’s life and developed a friendship with her (she named one of her kits after him). he later became the skyclan deputy.

sootwhisker: born to wolfheart of shadowclan and stormclaw of skyclan, has two brothers named mountaincloud and ashfall. her denmate tawnykit would bully her for her heritage (unbeknownst to tawnyclaw, she was also half riverclan), so sootwhisker grew up resenting the fact that she was halfclan until she fell in love with the windclan warrior maplestorm. the two she-cats had three kits together named ravenstorm, lightningheart, and falconflight. however, sootwhisker called off their relationship and broke maplestorm’s heart when she became deputy of shadowclan, but this only caused tension to grow between them when maplestorm also became deputy of windclan. their uneasy friendship was shattered when a group of windclan warriors accidentally killed ashfall, for which maplestar refused to apologize for. mad with grief and feeling a sense of betrayal, sootstar declared war on windclan and caused several unnecessary battles and deaths. she spent a few moons in the dark forest before maplestar convinced her to let go of that anger and join her loved ones in starclan. the two forgave each other and became mates again in death.

falconflight:  the shadowclan medicine cat, son of sootstar of shadowclan and maplestar of windclan. he has two sisters named ravenstorm and lightningheart (who was named after lightningclaw). he had a brief relationship with a she-cat named stoneflower which resulted in a single kit, thistlekit. since he's a medicine cat he kept his identity as the father secret so that thistlekit wouldn't have to grow up with the stigma of being the medicine cat's son and the product of a long line of forbidden relationships, but he always looked out for and loved him. the decision was flawed, but he thought he was doing the right thing. falconflight grew to be old and eventually retired to the elders den, while thistlefrost grew to be a reckless warrior who ultimately died in battle.
