Meet Zinniastar of MiteClan and Shadowstar of AlderClan, the leaders of the two other Clans that LeafClan shares its home with.

Before LeafClan arrived, MiteClan and AlderClan were the only two Clans in this territory, and they have been arch rivals for as long as anyone can remember. Border disputes and petty arguments at Gatherings are fairly common. Zinniastar's mischievous and rash attitude often clashes with Shadowstar's steady and wise demeanor.

Now that LeafClan has moved in, things have been a little more peaceful, but that old rivalry is still apparent. Neither Clan has been particularly aggressive towards LeafClan, just towards each other. Halfstar finds a bit of amusement in watching these two younger hothead cats get on each others' nerves, although she does keep a watchful eye out so that none of this aggression gets turned onto her own Clan.

Okay, here they are! As of the current moon (moon 7)

This is the Daisyflake, the MiteClan healer, and Shineleap, the MiteClan deputy. Daisyflake is described as childish and as fast as the wind, and Shineleap is described as thoughtful, clever, and a fast runner. Shineleap only recently became deputy after the former deputy Darkfoot retired. Daisyflake also recently gave birth to her and Zinniastar's 2 kits, Firekit and Dropletkit. Both Daisyflake and Shineleap are good friends. Since they both enjoy running, so will challenge each other to races through MiteClan's territory. Shineleap does have a little crush on Daisyflake, but he's perfectly happy to enjoy her company running through the clearing in the woods and being her friend. She especially leans on him for support when ... later events happen hehehe. They're two of the closest cats in MiteClan, and I really enjoy their dynamic! It's very Bluefur and Thrushpelt.

Introducing: Spindlemask, the AlderClan deputy, and Wisptail and Riftbright, the AlderClan medicine cats. Spindlemask is described as adventurous, incredibly clever, and a great kitsitter. Wisptail is described as strict, a great speaker, and a good climber. Riftbright is described as playful and a good teacher. Spindlemask is beloved in AlderClan and well-respected as deputy. She is also Shadowstar's mate! Wisptail is a grumpy old man, and Riftbright is his opposite in every way. While he is strict and impatient with his patients, Riftbright brings joy and happiness to the medicine den. While he will never show it, he is rather fond of her and glad she joined him in the medicine den. Speaking of which- Riftbright was originally Spindlemask's apprentice, and she only decided to become a medicine cat AFTER receiving her warrior name, when Wisptail became ill and couldn't perform his duties for many moons. She discovered her love for helping her clanmates and decided to stay. Riftbright and Spindlemask remain close, and Spindlemask is always amused to see what sort of mischief Riftbright is causing for Wisptail.
