I drew these before I played the game at all, just to establish some designs for myself. Funny enough, Hollyclaw and especially her kits changed a bit over the moons. Kits especially, man...those buggers' designs change so much on me as they grow and get new sprites, I can never keep them consistent lol

While I haven't 100% gotten their Origin Lore sorted out, here's what I've been kicking around: JumbleClan was founded by a bunch of Clan cats dislocated from their birth Clans by a storm or some other natural disaster. The Clan actually formed a few moons before the game's moon 0, since they ended up building their camp around where Zapberry helped Hollyclaw deliver her kits.

Leader - Antstar - Originally Antback and Archdapple came from the same Clan, where they were warriors on fairly equal footing. The survivors who became JumbleClan ended up looking to Antback for guidance due to his level headed and wise demeanor, and he ended up being chosen as the leader somewhat against his will.

Deputy - Archdapple - An original Clanmate of Antstar. Antstar actually hesitated to name him as his deputy due to Archdapple's clear thirst for power...but Antstar had a very slim pool of potential deputies to choose from, and he at least knew Archdapple very well and could at least trust him to do his best as the deputy. Archdapple, however, is known to toot his own horn and screw around with Antstar, occasionally calling him things like "Bugass."

Healer - Zapberry - She used to be a warrior in her old Clan, but to her dismay she was the one of the survivors with the most natural aptitude for using healing herbs, so she ended up being appointed as JumbleClan's healer. She itches to go on border patrols like she used to and will often stash herbs in weird places just to have an excuse to stretch her legs more, efficiency be damned...

Warriors

Burnhollow - She's the oldest cat among the founders...and the most quiet and glum. When she does raise her voice, though, she can actually be very eloquent. Unlike a lot of cats, she actually cares deeply for bugs and their little lives and does her best to not unnecessarily kill them. Though her dourness can be off-putting, she genuinely means well.

Hollyclaw - She had been in trouble with her birth Clan for having an affair with a rogue...only to be displaced while pregnant. She ultimately gave birth to her kittens in what became the JumbleClan nursery, and is very thankful to her new Clan for not judging her life choices too hard and treating her kits as their own. While she struggles with motherhood to some degree, not having been prepared to have kits at all, she still tries her best...though she struggles somewhat to connect with her daughter.

Fogfur - He was a rogue living in what became JumbleClan's territory when the dislocated Clan cats from beyond ended up there. As this territory was bordered by several extant Clans already, he saw an opportunity to boost his own survival with strength in numbers and helped guide the newcomers around the territory, adopting the Clan name Fogfur to further blend in to his new group. He still retains a very impish personality and is not above starting problems on purpose for his own amusement...after all, the petty drama of the living is a lot more entertaining than the haunting regrets of the dead.

Kits

Hazelkit - The more outgoing of Hollyclaw's twins, he tends to make more friends than his sister. His mother adores him, and the deputy is already developing a soft spot for his wide-eyed wonder at the world.

Title: Deep Dive

Summary: In a world where ThunderClan absorbed ShadowClan seasons ago, young warrior Weaselface is tasked to rebuild the fourth Clan and take her place as leader. But how can she betray all she’s ever known and loved, all on the word of one ghost with a grudge?

Excerpt:

Ashpaw crept along Weaselstar's side, ears low and anxious. "Why don't they treat us like a real Clan?"

"To them, we're not."

"But why not? We've got a leader and a medicine cat. We have dens and elders."

Fogfur shrugged. "You know what Spiderstar is like."

"Not really?"

"Oh, right. I forget you were never in ThunderClan."

Hootpaw perked up, nudging Ashpaw eagerly. "That makes us, like, the first full-time ShadowClan cats!"

"Huh," said Ashpaw, the tiniest of smiles coming across his muzzle. "I... guess it does."

I've been lazy about my kitties recently, so here's some new stuff! Next time is gonna be all about friends who friend out together. Also Bumblepaw has a knife.

Excerpt:

"Huh," meowed what sounded like Plumpetal. "I could've sworn I smelled-"

Fogfur stomped up beside her. "What are you doing, fluff-for-brains?"

"I smelled a cat!" Plumpetal argued. "It kind of smelled like Weasel."

The gray tabby snorted. "This far from camp? Yeah, right."

"She is due any day now," added Birchfoot. "Come on. Let's head back. We've got more than enough fresh-kill for the pile."

Weaselface strained her ears to listen. The hunting patrol's pawsteps slowly but surely faded out. That was too close! She wriggled her way out and kept moving. By Sunhigh, she had managed to make it into the long stripe of land WindClan had. The peat squished under her weight as she crept along the grass, eyes trained on even the slightest hint of movement.

Deciding to head as far from the camp as possible, Weaselface headed north. Her limbs ached, and she was absolutely exhausted by the time she got to a trail that winded up the rocks. Weaselface tasted the air, but found it almost impossible to know for sure if she was still in WindClan or not. I can't keep this up. I just can't. The queen ducked under a bush and curled up into a ball. She was too large for her tail to cover her nose. Just a five minute nap, she swore.

When Weaselface woke, night had fallen.

I promise I'll go back to Brightfur I PROMISE, I've just really looked forward to this chapter. A lot of concepts came and went for this chapter, actually- originally it was gonna be a slideshow of Weasel's memories with Antpaw, then I considered maybe visiting the ShadowClan Brackenstar once knew and having the warriors there "greet" her that way, but ultimately this felt most accurate.
