thistle and nettle still are part of the kin but i didn't draw them. assume that a few Guardian cats (cat group from Tigerhearts shadow) were also once part of the kin before breaking off.

Raven and her brother are now the bastard children of Blackclaw of Riverclan. MEANING. they're the half-siblings of Reedwhisker.

Dragonfly and Roach are the bastard children of Rushtail of Windclan.

Grassheart of Shadowclan is a rouge, her mother is part of the kin.

Flame + Silt are ex-lovers. They're also the mothers of Blazefire. At some point Flame flees the kin to the guardian cats for the safety of her kits.

I always thought it weird how the kin were just made of random rouges so after attacking skyclan, killing sharpclaw and birdwing, a few Skyclan cats 'join' the kin.

Honeytail stays behind because Macgyver was critically injured from the attack and his kits, Quailkit and Pigeonkit are too young to evacuate properly.

Macgyver + Quailkit + Pigeonkit. Macgyver critically injured and swallows his pride, 'joining' the kin while he's injured for the sake of his kits well-being.

Sandynose stays behind for Honeytail's sake. This causes a rift between him and Plumwillow who decides to leave.

Creekfeather. I don't know, maybe he joined because he genuinely liked Darktail's leadership over Leafstar's?

Rain. Now the son of Creekfeather. He is pro-Darktail.
