In my rewrite, Kittypets are not seen as regular cats, like clan cats or even loners and rogues. They are seen as distinctly non-cat.

They are seen as Fae. The cats, of course, dont know the human word for Fae, but the concept is the same.

Kittypets are considered tricksters by all the clans, some more than others, and those connected to kittypets are untrusted.

The reason why is a few different things.

-If you give them your name, they will replace it ("Oakface is a silly name, i'll just calk you Oak")

-if you spend too long around them, you'll lose your clan name entirely, and if you try return to your clan, you'll never behave the same.

-if you lie to them, every other kittypet will know (and some will hunt you for it)

-if you break a promise, you will be cursed

Over the years, this idea has skewed from generation to generation. As of Arc 1, the cats believe Kittypets have magic, and can do various things, like talking to or commanding dogs, embuing flowers or herbs with powers, and, in some cases, can even curse other cats with misfortune or death.

ICEFANG [Whiteclaw]- RiverClan Protector

He/Him

Name Significance: “ice” for his white paws and “fang” for his battle prowess

Ranks: Protector

Mentor: Leopardfur

Apprentice: none

Parents: Sunfish, Beetlenose

Siblings: Vixenleap, Branchsnap

Mate: none

ICEFANG GN8

Features:

3 leash clip options (one front, two back)

Fully adjustable (five adjustment points)

Five color options (black, gray, coyote brown, ranger green, and blaze orange)

Two buckle options (traditional plastic and tactical style metal (seen in image))

The four buckles mean that the panels can be separated so it doesn't need to go over the dog's head or be stepped into (bought in mind for a gear shy dog)

2 Hook and loop panels (velcro)

Reflective along all seams (very high visibility)

Grab handle

Two small loops under the handle (can be used for tabs, a pull strap, or to attach pouches)

Waterproof panels

Breathable mesh

Pros:

Very durable

Easy to clean

The furthest back leash clip works amazingly for pulling, dragging, and longlines

Y-shape for safety when pulling

Thick padding on the belly and chest straps mean I can use it to give the dog a boost if needed (up a steep hill, into the truck, down from a big step, etc.)

Cons:

The padded panels aren't really flexible so her shoulders rub against the chest panel

The girth buckles on the back panel are fixed in place (they dont move forward or backward at all) so it doesn't quite fit my deep-chested dog right

Since my dog has taller hips, the back panel presses into her back and causes some discomfort

Would NOT recommend for dogs who slip harnesses

Only really fits a barrel-chested dog properly because of how the panels sit

Overall I'd give it a 4/5

It is very durable and well made however I am disappointed that it doesn't fit nicely on a deep chested dog

Used @/bitegore’s character sheet template for some of my OCs!

Notes:

Some of the art’s a bit outdated, but they all work well enough.

Most responses are based on how I view them, but some (ex. “the most godawful hot takes known to mankind”) are based on how I think other people would interpret them.

The "hated by all" to "beloved by all" gradient is centered because Ice's perception by her peers greatly depends on who, exactly, you're asking

This is the character my account's named after, she was my very first OC :D

I couldn't see it, that the street was not a street

“... and when that time comes, you won’t falter?”

“no...”
