Raintail's father left the Clans when she was a kit

In the original concepts I had of Willowthorn and Smithy, Clover was another one of his kits, making them half-sisters. Whether they still are is up to you!

Volespring had a crush on Littlepelt as a 'paw.

Antpaw's warrior name would've been Antspots or Antskip

Ravenwind's mentor had future visions, and knew what she would become

Ravenwind was named after WindClan, bc it was a WindClan warrior that ended Leopardpoppy's life

Smokestripe is considering a second litter

Raintail and Ravenfur was raised mostly by Hailface and Badgerberry, and were therefore pretty close growing up

Finchcloud regrets not being a medicine cat, and fears that his son is StarClan's retribution

Flintpoppy never had half the respect Dovefrost did in ThunderClan

Sweetshine’s mother was named Berrybird. That has absolutely no effect on anything I just rlly like that name.

In an original draft of Deep Dive, Spiderstar would’ve taken Weaselface to ShadowClan and revealed that Brackenstar was alive and inside of it- a duty given to potential deputies was to carry this knowledge, and take one of his lives. Brackenstar would’ve been mostly decay and rot and empty, and Weasel would’ve taken his last life, freeing him.

Ice Cube is 100% inspired by plucky anime protags. He’s got spikey fur and an upbeat attitude, and if he could he’d say dattebayo

Woot woot here’s some random kitty facts!!!

Petalfoot: Has such vivid dreams she sometimes forgets about reality. Her first winter after Lion’s Storm was spent mostly sleeping and hanging with Featherpaw and Poppykit.

Brightfur: I’m currently mixed between never giving Brightfur a mate (as a sign of her being a true medicine cat, even tho she turns away from it) or having her slowly fall into a poly relationship with Hawkflower and Maplenose (since they’re all raising kits together lol).

Ravenwind: I have an entire backstory planned for her and Bristlepelt. The theme song of it is “Ophelia” by The Lumineers 

Missingstar: Spends a good chunk of her time angsting by her dad and sisters’ graves 

Weaselstar: I’ve gone through a lot of design ideas for her! I’m torn between having her be extremely scarred up all over or just a big ol’ throat slash and muzzle rips.

Send me a “🖊+an OC“ and I will talk about that OC! It can be a headcanon, a fun fact, a small paragraph of backstory- anything!

Most of my MC kitties have songs attached to them! Weasel is “The Start of Something” by Action Item, Petalfoot has “A Silent Cause” by The Paper Kites, and Brightfur/Ravenwind is 100% “Oh Ana” by Mother Mother. I listen to these bad boys when I’m writing big, character-developing moments for them.

Weaselstar:

This is the start of somethingWhen you're at the endIt's a new beginning, the world's still spinningI know that we canBe the spark when it all goes dark, causeWe're finally breaking throughI think it's cause I'm next to you

Petalfoot:

So long to your family homeI wonder if you'll ever get that feeling back?Your family homeCovered my eyes with your handsWalked me through all of your plansI told you I could see it allBut all I saw was youThrough the space in your fingers I don't want to love youI want to learn youBut I'd love to know you well

Ravenwind and (to, really) Brightfur:

Yaaaaaasssssss I LOVE this kind of villain. They’re so morally gray and complicated and that’s the kind of shit I thrive off of as a writer.

Hawkflower was originally going to be named Hawkstripe but it felt too close to Bright’s moms name to be comfy so I changed it literally last minute. I have unused drafts calling him Hawkstripe.

I have “special additions” planned for Ravenwind, Willowthorn, and possibly Smithy and Scrap.

Briarspots has been in love with Smokestripe since they were apprentices.

Addershine and Leafleg were good friends as apprentices, but Leafleg’s treatment of Grayfeather caused a huge rift between the two.

Willowthorn has met Smithy

Brackenclaw will be the last of his family to die

Willowthorn had a very brief crush on Brackenclaw when he was first assigned to her, but that quickly gave way to respect. To this day she wants to impress him.

Maplenose suffers from gigantism

Fallingfeather never moved past Flowerpaw

Antpaw is strategic in ways Willowthorn never could be

Slatestar still trusts Brightfur

"You're telling me about your past life as a kittypet while simultaneously showing me how you kill warriors." 

My villainous medicine cat, Ravenwind! Her dad had an affair with a local kittypet; she got killed, he got killed, it was one big mess. But now Ravenwind is in control, and she’s willing to kill most anyone to keep it that way. 

Young and dumb Grayfang and Volespring fall in love via competing 

Older Graystar and Volespring contemplating their ages and how it’s likely Volespring will die before her and where they’ll go from there
