Detailed Biography

Jadezinnia was born as Jade, a rogue who traveled from place to place, feeling the most free when he never had anything tying him down. This was his life until he discovered the clans. Even though he had previously felt the most free being on his own and without a community, he enjoyed it more than he had enjoyed anything before. He realized that living around other cats in a community where everyone was (for the most part) guaranteed to still be there was comforting to him and so he decided to stick around.

Eventually, he found his way to the horseplace near the temporary clan camp and met Gale, a friendly tom-cat skilled in healing who was a traveler like Jade had been before. The two became close friends almost immediately and it helped that the horseplace was the home to plenty of mice and rats for Jade to come and snack on, meaning he was over hanging out with Gale as often as he could be. 

One day while out hunting for the clan he stumbled across an injured cat named Snap. He rushed her to the clan however as the three medicine cats worked to save her none of their herbs were working. Jade ran to Gale and begged him for help and in the end Gale’s unique knowledge of herbs proved to be helpful and Snap made a full recovery. This event led to Gale deciding to stick around and join the clans officially as a medicine cat, making Jade incredibly happy.

The clans were officially formed after the rogues were chased off of their territory and both Jadezinnia and Lightgale took their full clan names, joining SplashClan. It was only a few months into the clan's existence when Jadezinnia and Lightgale began to see each other differently. They could no longer consider each other friends, they felt much more for each other than that. The two loved each other and when they were together they both felt the happiest and so they decided to officially become mates.

After this, Jadezinnia would do anything to ensure he could spend time with Lightgale. Since he was a medicine cat he didn’t need to leave camp that often, meaning that Jadezinnia wouldn’t feel the need to leave camp either. However, this led to him beginning to slack off and ditch his warrior duties in order to stay in camp with Lightgale. Though he was well liked by his clan mates it was clear his behavior was annoying them. There were only three warriors in the clan at the beginning (not counting the deputy, Brackenshade) and everyone in the clan needed to help out and yet Jadezinnia just wasn’t. 

Gannetstar and Brackenshade began to personally go to him and tell him to go out on patrol to ensure he was actually doing his work. Jadezinnia hated going on patrols but he put up with it to make his clanmates happy, however this led to him experiencing something terrible. One day, he was sent out on patrol with the newly made warriors, Thunderisle and Sagepeak and while out it began to rain, causing the river to flood and sweep them all away. Though Thunderisle and Jadezinnia were able to escape the raging river, Sagepeak wasn’t and he drowned. Jadezinnia was horrified by this and was sent into shock as a result. 

He became even lazier, not wanting to go on patrol again due to his fear of witnessing another terrible thing. He was frequently caught napping and spending time in the medicine den with Lightgale when he should’ve been out on patrol or hunting. One day, after being yelled at by Brackenshade to go out and hunt, his leg was caught in a twoleg trap. Thankfully he was able to escape however he was heavily injured. What made this injury worse is that Lightgale and Jadezinnia’s first litter of kits were on the way, meaning that Lightgale was under an immense amount of stress trying to care for Jadezinnia and prepare for their litter. 

Eventually their kits, Clovekit, Downkit, and Gorgekit were born and the two couldn’t have been happier to finally be parents. However, Jadezinnia’s mangled leg suddenly became infected and Lightgale, in his immense stress of being the clan’s only medicine cat, now being a father, and trying to desperately care for his injured mate, didn’t know what to do. He frantically ran to the other medicine cats, begging for advice to save his mate. Thankfully in the end, Jadezinnia recovered however his leg was left permanently damaged and twisted. This didn’t bother Jadezinnia though as he was old enough to retire to the elders’ den once he had recovered.

Though Jadezinnia had suffered a lot, retiring to the elders’ den was the best possible place for him. He could stay in camp and be as lazy as he wanted to be and be around Lightgale and his friends without causing the clan to fall behind. As an elder, it gave him a chance to really notice things in the clan that no cat had ever seen before since he was now in camp all day and this led to him being able to save Longpool from a snake before it bit him. No cat had noticed the snake except for Jadezinnia which allowed him to be able to save Longpool’s life. 

Through the rest of his life, Jadezinnia spent his time how most elders do, telling stories to kits, giving advice to younger clanmates, and of course spending time with his family. However, Jadezinnia was the only elder which left him feeling a tad lonely. This was until Crunchwrap arrived in the clan. After experiening a terrible disaster she fled to the clans for saftey and companionship and Jadezinnia couldn’t have been happier to have found her. The two became close friends and together they frequently spent time with the kits, Crunchwrap telling them stories with Jadezinnia’s help. Jadezinnia at one point even saved the kitten Shadekit from the river after she had fallen in, showing how much he truly cared for the kittens of the clan.

Jadezinnia’s love and appreciation for kittens became even more evident when he and Lightgale had their second litter of kits, Tidalkit, Thornkit, and Algaekit. Though he was so happy to be a father again he was incredibly saddened by this. He was getting older and older and knew that it was likely he wouldn’t be around long enough to see his kits recieve their full names. What made him even sadder is that only a few months after Crunchwrap joined the clan, she died while trying to escape from camp when HazeClan attacked them. He began to feel like he was missing out, that so much was happening and so much would happen in the future and because of his age he wouldn’t be able to see any of it.

Eventually, Jadezinnia died of old age and went to StarClan, only two months before the first of his second litter became warriors. He was mourned by many in the clan, Lightgale, Snapfern, Thunderisle, Lightspots, Clovefreckle, and Downface were all the saddest and mourned the longest after he had died.

Detailed Biography

Gale was once a wandering rogue who traded his way through life thanks to his knowledge of herbs. He was never skilled in hunting or fighting and so he was able to use his knowledge to trade for protection, shelter, and food from other rogues or loners he stumbled across. One day, he met the cats who lived at the horseplace and began to stay there in exchange for healing and it was there when he met Jade. Beside the horseplace was the temporary camp for the new clan cats and Jade often came by the horseplace to hunt mice, meaning it wasn’t long till they bumped into each other. The two became close friends right away thanks to Jade’s inviting and friendly demeanor. Though initially, Gale had no intentions of joining the clans things changed when Jade arrived at the horseplace in a frantic manner.

Jade had found and rescued an injured cat named Snap and none of the cats currently in the clans could figure out how to help her. Though there were already three medicine cats in the clans, none of the herbs they were using worked. Gale rushed to help Snap and was able to figure out the specific herb she needed, saving her life. After this, he stuck around to keep an eye on Snap and make sure she was recovering well enough. He eventually realized that even after Snap had recovered he was still needed and he decided to stick around, accepting the name Lightgale, becoming a medicine cat, and joining SplashClan once the rogues were officially driven out.

Lightgale was incredibly happy once his life in the clans began and it became clear to him very quickly that he was able to connect to and interact with StarClan, making him the perfect medicine cat SplashClan needed. It wasn’t long after the clans officially began when things changed between him and Jadezinnia. The two no longer saw each other as friends and they realized how much they really loved each other, deciding to become mates. The two spent a lot of time with each other but that did result in Jadezinnia spending more of his time with Lightgale than doing his warrior duties. Though he had already proven his worth as a healer and had a connection to StarClan, StarClan was very silent towards SplashClan, causing some inner conflict for Lightgale. Aside from that though, Lightgale was still very happy and content with the life he had with Jadezinnia, even if his mate was a tad lazy and tended to slack off on warriors duties.

Eventually, Lightgale and Jadezinnia had their first litter of kits together, who they named Clovekit, Downkit, and Gorgekit. He loved getting to be a father with Jadezinnia but the birth of his kits caused a lot of stress on him. He now had to juggle his tasks as the clan’s sole healer with caring for his kits with Jadezinnia and on top of all of that, Jadezinnia had recently received a nasty leg injury that was struggling to fully heal. For months Jadezinnia fought through infection and Lightgale questioned his own healing abilities, even traveling to the other clans, desperate for any advice to help his mate. Thankfully, in the end Jadezinnia was alright but his injured back leg would never work properly again, though this didn’t bother him, especially not when he had recently retired to the elders' den.

Lightgale and Jadezinnia’s kits were later apprenticed and with Jadezinnia being an elder, a good chunk of Lightgale’s stress was gone. He no longer had to worry about his mate skipping his tasks to spend time with him and his kits were grown up enough that he didn’t need to be constantly watching over them but he still made sure they were close. Clovefreckle, Downface, and Gorgeflight were eventually made warriors but tragedy struck when Gorgeflight drowned in a flood while on patrol. Their family was devastated by the loss but Lightgale refused to let his grief consume him. He stuck to his herb organizing, refusing to let himself even for a moment fall into depression but he broke when his daughter, Downface, was taken away by twolegs only a few months later. He was unable to keep his emotions back any longer and fell into a lengthy state of grief but thankfully, Downface was able to return to SplashClan unharmed a few months later. 

His recent stress over his kits, his mate, and the loss of Gorgeflight made him realize how overworked he really felt and he began to keep a close watch on the kits of the clan, hoping that maybe one of them could be a potential medicine cat apprentice. It was after this when he suddenly recieved an omen, the first omen StarClan had ever sent to him. In his dream he watched as a group of faceless cats attacked and tore down a beaver dam, only to be washed away by the flood once the dam broke. The message was clear, if SplashClan continued to antagonize and aggrivate HazeClan it could lead to their demise. No matter how many times he tried to tell Gannetstar about his vision, her faith in StarClan was already horribly low and they refused to acknowledge his vision as true. In the end, SplashClan went to war against HazeClan and lost pitifully. Though SplashClan wasn’t destroyed, the war resulted in the deaths of many cats, even long after the war's end. 

Eventually, Lightgale and Jadezinnia were able to have a second litter of kits who they named Tidalkit, Thornkit, and Algaekit. Though a tad older, his new litter of kits were born the same month as his son, Clovefreckle’s litter, allowing for the nine kits to grow up together which also gave him an opportunity to watch for a potential medicine cat apprentice. His eyes were initially on Minkkit who was less interested in fighting and typical clan life and was often curiously investigating the medicine den. It was clear Minkkit wanted to be a medicine cat but during the HazeClan war, Minkkit was left behind in camp during a battle and had to be rescued by Orangefreckle. As a result of this, Orangefreckle died which led to Minkkit becoming traumatized by the event and extremely squeamish when it came to physical injuries, meaning he dropped all hopes of becoming a medicine cat. Strangely, there was another kit who had hopes of being a medicine cat that Lightgale had unknowingly glossed over, his own son, Thornkit. Before Thornkit was apprenticed he asked his father if he could train under him as a medicine cat to which he of course accepted. 

He was initially skeptical of Thornpaw, thinking that he only took the position out of pity for him since Minkpaw passed up the position, but it was clear he was devoted to the job and his skepecism quickly passed. Similarly to Lightgale, Thornpaw developed an incredible knowledge for herbs but aside from that was lacking in everything else. His connection to StarClan was faint and his daring and charismatic personality led to him not being the most patient and gentle of medicine cats, even growing cold as a result of his annoyance towards his patients. Regardless of that, Thornheart recieved his full name and was still honored for his skill in healing and his integrety.  

Before Thornheart received his full name however, multiple tragedies struck not just their family, but SplashClan as a whole. Firstly, Jadezinnia died as a result of old age, causing Lightgale to deeply mourn for his lost mate. Only a few months after that many cats in SplashClan died as a result of eating poisoned fish from the river and his kits, Clovefreckle, Downface, and Algaefreckle were among the deceased. He was unable to pull himself together and Downface’s death caused him the most pain. She had such a bright future ahead of her and he had always imagined her someday becoming deputy and now she would be unable to achieve anything she had dreamed of. After their vigils, Lightgale returned to his nest and sobbed to the point his throat went raw. In the end, he was thankfully able to keep working even just a little bit and helped Thunderisle pick herself up from the grief she was experiencing over her son, Curlrise’s death. 

In the following months, he decided that it might be best for him to move on from Jadezinnia. He didn’t want to linger on the past and his grief and decided that if he ever found it, he would accept love from someone else. In the end however, the opportunity for him to find a second love never came as only a few months later Lightgale was a casualty in the mass disappearance of many of SplashClan’s cats.
