Meet Skipperclaw!
Skipperclaw is the controversial mate of Starlingberry. He fathered Slugpaw with Cootpelt, and Squirrelpaw and Spiderpaw with his mate.
Despite the small gap in age between his kits, he hadn't been with Starlingberry at the time Cootpelt became pregnant. Starlingberry was expecting their litter before they were officially together, and they became mates less than a moon later.
He kept a cool distance from Cootpelt, being in Slugpaw's life but only as the "fun dad" who dips when it comes to actually raising him. They seemed like okay coparents and nothing more, but now Cootpelt is pregnant again. Everyone knows it's Skipperclaw's. Skipperclaw knows it's Skipperclaw's. Nobody says it, and he sure as hell won't be the first.
He can tell Starlingberry knows and he's walking on eggshells in every conversation now, waiting for it all to blow up.
Skipperclaw is part of the young warriors generation. He has very solid skills and is very well rounded in terms of capabilities. He's never had an apprentice, but he was a frequent director of group training programs until most of the apprentices were his children- generally, family doesn't mentor family.
