#snakingclan

hashtag oc posting!!!!!! finally got back into the groove of drawing snakingclan cats!!! here is alla their lore: + feel free 2 send me questions about them!

sleepy: sleepyheather is a cheery, calm and wise snakingclan warrior. raised by a single mother queen, sleepyheather was taught to always take it slow, listening and giving the best advice & thoughts they can. she grew up on the sidelines, not really caring to stand out or be special. though, as a younger warrior, he always admired tumblingsun's confidence and unwavering logic. sleepyheather eventually started to ask the tom to hang out, which made tumblingsun realize she had a crush on him. the two ended up hitting it off successfully, becoming a wonderful couple, though their differing amounts of confidence often butt heads, with tumblingstar wanting to have fun, while sleepyheather wants to relax. still, they love each other like no other.

when martyrsomen, her and tumblingstar's first child, was born, sleepyheather was happy, though worried. worried mostly about the kit potentially straying down a path of darkness. though, with tumblingstars obvious joy, he was able to set that to the side. even with martyrsomen's big ego and snappy personality, sleepyheather sees no evil in it. the other kittens that were born in sleepyheather's first litter and their deaths upset sleepyheather deeply, though she rarely mentions it.

when savantpaw suddenly appeared, sleepyheather was overjoyed. the deaths of martyrsomen's siblings was still affecting her before savantpaw was born, though with a new child to take care of, sleepyheather managed to mostly put his sadness aside to raise savantpaw. it didn't take long for her to realize savantpaw had gotten a bad idea about himself in his head, and so sleepyheather did everything she could to help encourage and take care of her. she was the one who suggested savantpaw have physical therapy, which the apprentice is ever so grateful for. sleepyheather wants savantpaw to tread back to the right path, though the fear of potentially harming him more haunts her.  tumbling: tumblingstar, originally named tumblingsun, is snakingclan's leader. as a younger warrior, he was confident and logical, making good warrior material. they were very popular, overall living a good life, with lots of friends similar in nature to him. it wasn't until sleepyheather, a cat who he rarely ever talked to, came to him and asked to start hanging out, that he realize 1: she had a crush on him and 2: there was more to life that being a good warrior. being with sleepyheather taught him that there's all sorts of cats out there, and they should look to learn from and befriend everyone - not just cats he's similar to. eventually, the two became mates, loving and cherishing each other. they've had their arguments, and their personalities occasionally butt heads with each other, but overall they're wonderful lovers.

when his first child, martyrsomen, was born, tumblingstar was overjoyed. he knew he had the fabled vivid black markings that snakinclan's founders supposedly had, but seeing his child be born fully covered was almost like a message from starclan. still, it wasn't all happy, as the death of the four other kits in tumblingstar and sleepyheather's first litter hit both of them hard. the two still managed to pull through, and tried to raise martyrsomen to the best of their ability, whether they succeeded or not.

savantpaw was a different case. neither sleepyheather or tumblingstar were expecting another child to be born, though they still accepted savantpaw. it didn't take long for the two to realize he had gotten the idea that he was less than her older sibling, and tumblingstar moreso has done everything in his ability to make the cat feel at home. this went to a point of tumblingstar apprenticing savantpaw himself, and their training has been somewhat successful.  martyr: martyrsomen is a stoic, silent, and ethereal snakingclan warrior. born in a litter of five deformed, albino kittens, martyrsomen was the only one to survive- and the only one to not be fully albino, having vivid black markings stretching all across its body. black markings like these, and similar ones seen on settingsands and martyrsomen's dad tumblingstar are a symbol of respect. it's said the original founders of snakingclan each had these markings, and being born with some nowadays is seen as a blessing. though, that's usually for cats born with little markings, just around their face or other body parts-- a cat born with the full founder's markings hasn't been seen in hundreds of years. because of this, martyrsomen was quickly deemed to be of some importance, gaining intense and unwavering respect from its clanmates. it was expected it'd grow to be a confident, leader-material like cat, but it seemed martyrsomen has strayed into a different path. it's become colder and distant, usually not speaking at all. when it has to, it's snappy, and quick to assume things. still, it seems like martyrsomen has quite the ego, usually referring to itself as chosen.

2 new snakingclan cats i drew tonight! check em out!!! alto lore:

altotail is a fine snakingclan warrior, no prodigy, but still has respect from her clanmates. she was originally found outside the clans at only a few weeks old, and was swiftly taken in. the young kit, oddly, had scars, much to the confusion of ragweedtalon, the clans healer. though, that didn't change anything, and altokit was raised just like any other, just without the knowledge of who or where she came from. but... she's never questioned it. cats have asked her, but she always brushes it away as something she isn't worried about

something that altotail Is worried about though, is how she acts. there is something different about her, but she can't pinpoint it. she shifts away from other's touch, she can't stand loud noises, things that are normal to other cats scare her, and she can't stand the sight of blood, or fighting at all... it's weird. she hasn't been able to figure it out. the only help she's gotten is the kind words and guidance from dredgenight. thicket lore:

thicketpaw has always strived to be the best. the nicest, the strongest, the smartest, that's all he ever wants. as a kitten, thicketkit hoped and prayed he'd become a great warrior, and then deputy-- and leader! though, one day, snakingclan's healer ragweedtalon came to the nursery to check up the only pregnant queen, and eventually got wound up in telling thicketkit and his sibling a story. a story of-- well, themselves, in which ragweedtalon explained the power and joy that came from being a healer and the things they did to save cats previously. ragweedtalon's words lit something up in thicketkit, and from that day afterward, instead of wanted to become the best warrior ever, it's wanted to become the best healer ever!

finished another cat from the loner group!

lore:

oma kirsche hasn't been with the loners for long, only a few moons. they are skittish, nervous, and not very good at normal wild cat activities. they were taken in on a whim after being found all alone, and hurt. the loners fixed them up, though have had some trouble communicating with the cat because they seem to not know cat-speak very well. still, oma kirsche has been living with them just as normal, and was one of the cats who helped decide they should make camp on the edge of snakingclan's land. they are less good at fighting and hunting, and better at mending to cats & the camp. prey wise however, they are quick to work with prey-- stripping feathers from birds for kits to eat, or butchering them into different parts for equal share.
