In allegiance order (apprentices are in the same image as their parent)

Squirrelstar

Squirrelstar is the leader and is actually a chimera of a short hair and a long hair, hence his extra floofy tail and chest. His floofy tail makes him look like a squirrel, hence his name. He's a very high strung cat, anxious and paranoid about whether he's doing a good job leading, and he overcompensates by being very friendly and helpful. He's a good guy, just low self confidence, much imposter syndrome, very jumpy, and always on alert. He does a pretty decent job taking care of his clan with the help of his deputy and mate Lilywhisker and he's the youngest child of litter of 4.

He's so concerned with doing a good job leading since he became leader right after the fire took the old leader, and has to rebuild his dwindling clan. Fortunately he has help from Lilywhisker and the neighboring clans, which Zebraclan is on good terms with

Lilywhisker

Lilywhisker is a sweet lady who reassures Squirrelstar he's doing OK, she is his rock. They work incredibly smoothly together. She's very wise, the planner of the clan, the brains of the operation. She is beloved by all, a true Mom Friend to the whole clan gluing it together. She is cautious but not as intensely as Squirrelstar, she thinks things through considering all options before she acts. Sometimes she gets overwhelmed by how much work she does for the clan, and she does a lot, and when she does, she goes off by herself to the shore of a beautiful lake on the edge of Zebraclan territory to just relax. Squirrelstar catches her favorite food for her and cuddles with her in this special place to cheer her up. She's the oldest of a litter of 5. She and Squirrelstar are very in love and it's the most obvious thing ever.

Cootleaf

Cootleaf is the Medicine Cat. He's eccentric and lazy, a bit of a grouch when he has to actually do his job, but he makes up for it by being good at it. He's amicable and friendly outside of work, if a bit much for the other cats. He likes long walks at night, and is the older middle child of the litter.

Cormorantpaw is Cootleaf's son and neither of them know it. Cootleaf (inadvisably) had a one night stand with another cat (there were no emotions there, it was just a convenient hookup) and she had Cormorantpaw. (She was not included in the generated cats, so if I design her I need to base her on Cormorantpaw)

She refuses to tell Cormorantpaw or Cootleaf about their relationship bc it would threaten Cootleaf's position as Medicine Cat, since they're not allowed to have families. It's a bit of an open secret though, since all the black cats are siblings, and Squirrelstar is mates with Lilywhisker, but the clan is really small right now and Cootleaf doesn't care about Cormorantpaw and his mother outside of his duties as Medicine Cat, so it's not a big deal. The kid himself thinks that his father died in the fire based on how hesitant everyone is to talk about him, though Cormorantpaw is curious as to his father's identity.

Warriors

Ravenstorm

Ravenstorm is a clever dreamer who has mildly prophetic dreams. She's a bit silly, bit wild, likes to have a good ol time and can be quite scrappy, tires her out a lot though: she's just as often found asleep as awake. And she is the oldest child of the litter.

Starlingfoot

Starlingfoot is very energetic, very talkative, can be a bit of a prankster, and usually volunteers to go on patrol. She's very curious, and likes climbing trees to look out over the surroundings, often using this habit to quite literally get the drop on enemies and prey. She's the younger middle child of the litter

Spiderbriar

Spiderbriar is more reserved and prickly, a bit manipulative, carefully weaving others into webs of plans to get what she wants. She likes playing with her enemies and prey before she defeats them, and is sharp and commanding. She is the youngest of the litter

Slugface

Slugface was a loafer as a kitten who likes soaking up the sun. She stuck her face in a bush one day, and came out with a slug on her face, being the source of her warrior name (along with the fact that the stripe of black on her face looks like a slug)

She has since learned to observe and plan before sticking her nose into things, mostly keeps to herself, and she enjoys doing her chores quickly and efficiently so she can loaf and nap worry free. She is the second youngest of the litter

Apprentices (skipped as they are discussed with their parent)

Queens

Squirrelear

Squirrelear is a former kittypet who was abandoned bc her owner didn't want to deal with her having kittens, so she came to Zebraclan already pregnant. And she comes to the clan post fire, but decently far into the reconstruction, and is welcomed with open paws bc she would be very valuable to the genepool and actual population of the clan.

Squirrelear is seen as quite unusual to the others being a hairless cat, and when she's not in the queen den taking care of her kits once they're born, she spends a lot of her time down by the lake, bc hairless cats need a lot of baths. She's used to having all her needs taken care of by someone else, but she's adjusting to taking care of herself decently well. She's quite protective over kits and is a bit of a neat freak. Bc she was abandoned by her owner, she feels anxious about her stay in the clan being too good to be true. From being an outcast, the only hairless cat, and her skin forcing her to spend most of her time in the river and away from other clanmates, she feels distant from them and struggles to make strong connections with the other clanmates. Despite her social struggles and anxieties, she keeps trying, wanting to make friends and help secure her place there and assure a good future for her kits. Her status as a former kittypet does instill a bit of vanity in her though, she was doted on tooth and paw after all, and that feeling of expecting others to do things for her never truly left.
