the cats have made the journey to the lake, but it'd seem that starclan is no longer watching over them. | aka: a tnp version of @10leftau where only 10% of the clan cats are left after the great journey! i don't claim ownership of this concept, i simply really like it and wanted to make a tnp version! | the generator can be found here!
a version of the popular @10leftau, this aims to answer this question, in a way.
(some stuff about me under the cut!)
hi, i’m puppy (or sayo) and i’m just a polyamorous ply demiroace maybe demigender (demienby i think) 13-year-old who likes warriors a little too much. my main warriors blog is @niightear, and i do not claim to own the concept for this au!
other stuff about me: i kin hollyleaf and am kinsidering alderheart, hollyleaf is my favorite cat (though i also like snowdrop, aka background cat #2942 and hollowflight, aka background cat #2904), my favorite ship is rootshadow but in this au it’s probably sorrelmoth or dawnswallow (that ship name tho) and hhhh i’m out of things to say.

I like that you made Ashfur deputy! I always wanted that for him.
thanks anon! with him really being the only experienced thunderclan warrior (sorreltail had been a warrior for like. a year at most when graystripe came back, and we don’t want any nepotism here), it made sense for him to be deputy!
i’m also trying to make him a better person here even if it means i’m diverging from canon. a lot.
yes i made this immediately after the last one, don’t judge me. this has all of the cats who’re born at the end of tnp/in between arcs, and some other stuff!
born to two kittypets, daisy was taken from her parents soon after birth, nearly separated from her sister floss, until they were adopted by kind nofurs and allowed to roam around the barn, where daisy met smoky, who she mated with. in fear of her kits getting taken away, she fled and heard rumors of the clans, joining thunderclan once found by sorreltail. with help from queens of all the clans, she managed to raise her kits to apprentice age.
hazelkit was born to daisy and smoky in the horseplace before being taken away due to her mother’s fear of losing her kits. a sweet and quiet she-kit, hazelkit anticipates her apprenticeship, hoping she’ll be apprenticed to sorreltail... though she knows that won’t happen with sorreltail expecting kits.
born to daisy and smoky at the horseplace before being taken to thunderclan, berrykist is the opposite of his sister. stubborn and loud, a bit of a jerk, but underneath that, he does care for his family and clan. and he does have an interest in medicine.
born at the horseplace and soon taken to thunderclan, mousekit is a little unsure about himself. however, he’s sympathetic and supportive, and quite playful and loyal. despite this, he’s scornful and stubborn, much like his brother. he eagerly anticipates being a warrior, even if his mentor’s in another clan!
millie
family: blossom (mother, status unknown), pine (father, status unknown), briarkit (briarlight) (daughter (mtf)), blossomkit (blossomfall) (daughter), bumblekit (bumblestripe) (son)
mate: graystripe (thunderclan, qpp)
rank: queen
the first while of millie’s life was spent peacefully as a kittypet. until one day, the twolegs next-door arrived with a strange tom, a former wild cat who they named stripes, but who claimed to have been named graystripe. an oddball, he was, but millie found herself intrigued. graystripe was determined to find his clan, so they set off, becoming queer-platonic partners on the way. they met up with two shadowclan cats - russetfur and runningnose - in ravenpaw and barley’s barn, and made their way home with them. due to expecting graystripe’s kits, millie was unable to have extensive warrior training, but she’s good as is, and loves her kits.
for the first couple moons of briarkit’s life, she was raised as a tom, and hated it. the clan accepted her as trans mtf when she voiced this, and she was happy that she belonged. her mother started giving her extra attention, but briarkit insisted that millie pay more attention to blossomkit. her mother reluctantly agreed, and briarkit can’t help but feel... off.
blossomkit always cared for her siblings, but when her mother started giving briarkit extra attention, she was upset. sure, millie did start giving attention evenly to them, but the attention she gave blossomkit still felt... off. but it doesn’t matter; she’ll be the best warrior she can! she’s sure of it!
himbo. himbostripe. polite and caring despite not being the smartest, bumblekit was always cared for by his father, possibly due to his (apparent) resemblance to silverstream, graystripe’s first mate. he never felt the same strange vibes vibe check from their mother’s equal attention as his sisters, but he supposes it doesn’t matter.
found abandoned in twolegplace alongside her sister ivykit, dovekit is halfway to her apprenticeship and is excited to be an apprentice. overall calm and collected, she’s quite a sweet she-kit, though she can be a little annoying at times, and is quite sensitive. and her eyes always seem to change color (/j, here she has central heterochromia which gives her golden pupils, and total heterochromia(?) which gives her green and blue eyes).
abandoned by her birth parents and halfway to her apprenticeship, ivykit is headstrong, brash and determined, getting jealous easily. she wants to be the best warrior her clan has ever seen... but there’s a strange aura around her. she also has heterochromia, but the sides are the reverse of dovekit’s.
SHADOWCLAN
russetfur
family: cinnamon (mother, status unknown), hal (father, deceased), boulder (fraternal brother, deceased), raggedstar (half-brother, deceased), scorchwind (half-brother, deceased)
despite feeling guilty for retiring to the elders’ den, loudbelly knows that he couldn’t serve his clan as a warrior for much longer. this is for the best.
figured making this its own post could make things easier so here we are. these are the allegiances during tnp for the most part, aside from the addition of graystripe and runningnose. daisy and her kits also aren’t here, i’ll add them once i make the po3 allegiances (which. will only have bios for new cats (the stuff with family, mate(s) and rank’ll still be there though!)).
graystripe had been taken by twolegs not long before the great journey took place. with help from his new friend, millie (yes, i will be adding millie), he managed to find his way back to the clans… only to find most of the cats he knew dead. his half-sister was his only remaining kin. he wondered how long thunderclan had gone without a leader, but ignored that thought and took the position. due to not yet having an equivalent to the moonstone, he was unable to receive nine lives or a leader name, but he’s more then determined to lead the clan.
ashfur had already experienced loss many times. from the death of his brothers, elderkit and tulipkit, to the death of his mother, brindleface, he was well acquainted with it. when squirrelpaw, his niece who he was quite close to, came back to the clan with news of new territories, he was ecstatic. his niece larchkit had already died of starvation, and he was hopeful that his sister’s remaining daughter and sons would be safe in the new territory. but nothing went according to plan. even before the journey, hollykit and shrewpaw both died, which brought great pain to ferncloud’s family. but what brought even more pain was the journey itself. birchkit, sandstorm, squirrelpaw, spiderpaw, cloudtail… ferncloud… all of them were dead. once graystripe came back and heard all of this, the choice for deputy was clear.
her apprentice being taken by twolegs wasn’t enough, it seemed, as now she’d lost her apprentice once and for all. leafpaw had so much potential. but she ignored that. surely one of graystripe and millie’s kits would have the same amount of potential. during the badger attack, she got quite injured, but the clans were much closer to one another due to the pain of the great journey, so she was saved. she was determined to make yellowfang, brightheart, leafpaw, everyone, proud.
losing her father as a kit was rough, as was losing her mother as an apprentice, but losing most all of her family was terrible. she’d never been close to darkstripe - in fact, her half-brother tried to poison her - but rainwhisker and sootfur were her best friends. graystripe had been taken by twolegs, and it worried sorreltail to no end. what if he was dead? but finally, after seasons of worry, graystripe came back, with a new clanmate in tow, who was pregnant with his kits. with sorreltail’s nieces. and she had mothwing. life was getting better.
SHADOWCLAN
russetfur
family: cinnamon (mother, status unknown), hal (father, deceased), boulder (fraternal brother, deceased), raggedstar (half-brother, deceased), scorchwind (half-brother, deceased)
mate: none
rank: leader
a former kittypet who joined shadowclan with boulder, russetfur was blackstar’s deputy prior to the great journey. during the journey, after seeing her fraternal brother boulder and clan leader blackstar die, she knew that she had to lead shadowclan once they got to their new home. before she could do that, she had to go back for runningnose, she needed a medicine cat. while most of the elders were dead or near dead, runningnose somehow was not, perhaps due to his herbal knowledge. regardless, after staying in the tribe for a bit, the two went to the lake, meeting up with graystripe on the way (dawnflower had been taking care of toadkit) and reforming shadowclan once they arrived.
runningnose was never confident in his medical abilities. as much as he wanted to be a medicine cat, he couldn’t cure his own running nose, or nightstar’s sudden sickness. however, he was always eager to do good, and hoped that yellowfang was proud up in starclan. when the clans left for the great journey, he wanted to rest, but knew he could not when russetfur came in need of a medicine cat. temporarily staying with the tribe and learning herbal skills from stoneteller, the two left and reformed shadowclan. runningnose just hopes he can do good enough.
toadkit was eager to go on the journey, as were his siblings and crush, birchkit of thunderclan. however, the journey didn’t go so well. it was as if starclan had left them. his mother tallpoppy died first, the journey too tiring for her in her old age. next went applekit, in the darkness of the night. no one knew what happened to her, the cats who’d gone on the first journey presumed that a sharptooth had come, but no one knew for sure. next went marshkit, much like his mother, too tired. it had come full circle, and toadkit hoped that it was over… but it clearly wasn’t, as birchkit died as well, joining his siblings in starclan. by the time they got to the lake, only one of toadkit’s present clanmates was left, and she soon left to find runningnose, leaving dawnflower of riverclan to raise him. awaiting apprenticeship, toadkit just hopes he won’t succumb to the same fate as his mother, siblings and birchkit.
having her mate die a few seasons prior to the journey, and all but one of her kits, ashfoot was well acquainted with loss. when her surviving son, crowpaw, came back with promises of a new home, ashfoot was hopeful. but the journey was far more tough then anyone could’ve thought. yes, they knew that a few cats would die, but no one expected the clans to go near extinct. once tallstar died, mudclaw took place as leader, but his time was brief, and without nine lives, he soon died as well, leaving his appointed deputy ashfoot as leader of the remaining windclan cats. as if her siblings and leader dying wasn’t enough, her single surviving kit died as well, leaving her alone. but she had her clan. maybe everything would be fine?
barkface had always been a friendly and optimistic cat. when crowpaw came back with news of a new home, most windclan cats were doubtful, but barkface was optimistic, sure that they’d survive. the tragedy that came on the journey couldn’t have been anticipated by anyone. windclan had few cats as is, only having fourteen cats when the journey began, but by the time they arrived at the lake, they only had three: ashfoot, barkface himself, and thistlepaw, whose mentor had died. taking the apprentice as his own, both as an apprentice and as a father, barkface hopes that his clan will thrive, with additions in the other clans hopefully helping out.
(as thistlepaw only appears in the allegiances, i had to give her a personality and description; here, she’s a solitary yet energetic black and red classic tortoiseshell she-cat with hazel eyes. i used this generator and a name dictionary!)
thistlepaw had never had very many friends. she was close with her brother, weaselpaw, but windclan didn’t have very many apprentices, or cats in general. thistlepaw thought that the journey would be good, and that she could maybe bond with the other clans’ apprentices, but the death of shadowclan’s smokepaw was seemingly a bad omen. her parents both died, her mentor died, her brother died, all but two of her clanmates did as well… by the time they got to the lake, thistlepaw didn’t want anything more to do with death. her clan needed a medicine cat apprentice anyways, so she did what she must. and now, barkface is like a father to her, and she’s happy.
mate: sorreltail, formerly was dating leafpaw of thunderclan
rank: medicine cat and leader
mothwing had never felt like she belonged in the clans. she didn’t have any parents to go to when life was rough, and most of her clanmates seemed… afraid of her and her brother. was tigerstar really that bad? she and her brother hawkfrost got their warrior names, but something still seemed… off. as if she was doing the wrong thing. she asked mudfur to apprentice her, and once an omen of a moth’s wing was found outside the medicine cat den, she was apprenticed to him. had starclan really put it there, though? when she found it, she swore she saw her brother’s tipped tail right there… regardless, the journey went badly. her mentor died, and she seemed to be left as both medicine cat and leader of her clan. she never wanted this, but at least she has sorreltail.
mate: swallowtail (riverclan, deceased), unknown mate (the father of her kits)
rank: queen (nursery helper)
dawnflower had a normal life. born with no siblings, she became a warrior with no real setbacks, and became good friends - and eventually mates - with swallowtail. accidentally mating with an unknown tom, she gave birth to minnowkit, tumblekit and pebblekit not long before the journey took place. her kits died on the thunderpath, not even getting to be apprenticed, and her mate died as well, both devastating her. by the time they got to the lake and all of her kin was dead, she decided that she didn’t want to be a warrior any longer. so much had happened in the past few moons… but dawnflower still had a normal life.
loudbelly’s parents never really cared for him, as was clear through them naming him loudkit, while his siblings got actual good names. named loudbelly as a warrior, he felt like his life was all a joke, but he ignored it and was happy to get an apprentice in silverpaw. however, not very long after silverpaw was apprenticed to him, they disappeared. loudbelly truly felt like his life was all a joke, and by the time the journey came, he truly wished to just stay in the forest territories, but mothwing insisted he come. so, he did. his leader died. his deputy died. all but two of his clanmates died. and now, loudbelly felt like a bad omen and just wanted to retire. but his clan needed a warrior, so he was that warrior.

“we’re almost there!” russetfur called, worry in her eyes as they glazed over runningnose.
graystripe noticed that the shadowclan medicine cat looked much more tired then he ever remembered. he’d stayed with the other clans’ elders - or at least tried to - and now looked near death.
“runningnose, you don’t have to do this,” the thunderclan cat mewed, “i’m sure one of the other clans’ medicine cats can stay with shadowclan.”
“i don’t want to do that,” the sniffly tom shook his head, “shadowclan needs me. i can’t let nightstar down.”
graystripe and millie exchanged a confused glance. nightstar had been shadowclan’s leader, albeit for only a couple moons and without getting nine lives. he was dead now, and from what the gray tom could tell, had never had that much of a relationship with runningnose aside from the fact that the latter was his medicine cat.
“we’re here!” the shadowclan deputy exclaimed, allowing graystripe and the others to catch up. “i can see ashfur, ashfoot and mothwing on the great oak; thank starclan we came on a full moon!”
pushing through the bushes, graystripe’s amber gaze drifted across the gathering. ashfur, cinderpelt, sorreltail... who’s that cream she-cat? his gaze went over to the riverclan cats. mothwing, dawnflower and loudbelly... and lastly, to windclan. ashfoot, barkface and... thornpaw? i don’t remember her name, but she’s an apprentice.
“we have returned!” runningnose exclaimed, pelt bristling and eyes wild. he padded over to the other medicine cats. cinderpelt and barkface seemed to immediately bombard him with questions, which made graystripe question.
“graystripe!” sorreltail’s sweet voice came from where the other thunderclan cats were, as the she-cat rushed over and touched noses with her brother. “oh, i missed you so much! by the time we got here, i’d already lost rainwhisker and sootfur, and i was worried i’d lost you too, and-” millie caught her gaze with the curious glint in her blue gaze. “oh, have you brought a friend! hi, i’m sorreltail; i’m graystripe’s younger sister.”
“it’s nice to meet you,” millie purred, “i’m millie; me and graystripe are, er... queer-platonic partners? i don’t remember for sure. one of the loners we met on our way here mentioned it.”
the dilute calico’s gaze drifted to millie’s plump belly. “oh, are you expecting kits? that’s great!” she paused. “oh, that reminds me; daisy, bring your kits and come over! graystripe’s back!”
daisy? graystripe thought, confused. that must be the cream she-cat.
it was indeed the cream she-cat; she walked over with three kits climbing on her. a cream tom and two gray splotched white kits.
“i’ve heard a lot about you,” daisy said with a smile, “sorreltail won’t stop talking about you. she’s a little extra, honestly.”
“hey! he’s my brother, what do you expect from me?!” sorreltail’s faux anger was edged with a playful tone. “really though, graystripe, i’m happy you’re back!”
“who’s this, mommy?” one of daisy’s kits - the gray splotched tom - asked, curiosity glinted in his eyes.
“he’s graystripe,” the queen mewed, “these are my kits. the cream tom’s berrykit, the gray splotched tom’s mousekit, and the gray splotched molly - er, she-kit - is hazelkit. they’re all a pawful, honestly, but dawnflower and sorreltail are both big helps. ashfoot, too,” solemnly, she added, “i’m happy i came to the clans at this time, honestly. while i know it must be hard, losing cats you love, but if i lived in the forest and came to thunderclan, i wouldn’t have as many helping paws.”
“thunderclan had a lot of nursery helpers in the forest territories,” graystripe hadn’t noticed ashfur jump down from the great oak, and gave him a small bow, “goldenflower, frostfur, speckletail for a while, brindleface,” he paused, and seemed to be choking back a sob as he added, “ferncloud...”
“ferncloud was your sister, right?” with ashfur’s nod, daisy rested a tail on his shoulder. “i’m sorry for your loss, ashfur. losing so many cats you cared for must’ve been hard.”
“are these the only survivors?” graystripe asked. when russetfur said the journey had been devastating, he didn’t know what he’d expected, but it wasn’t his clan only having three clanborn members left. squirrelpaw didn’t even get a warrior name, he thought, neither did leafpaw. or shrewpaw, or spiderpaw, or any of the other clans’ kits.
even his own kits, feathertail and stormfur, had died. feathertail had died before the journey, saving the tribe of rushing water from sharptooth, while stormfur had died not long after joining the tribe. when he and millie met russetfur and runningnose at ravenpaw and barley’s barn, the shadowclan deputy - leader, graystripe corrected - had told him how the tribe told them that stormfur had been found dead only a few days after joining the tribe. they thought that it was sharptooth’s spirit, angry and vengeful after its death, but graystripe doubted it.
“i believe we should dismiss the gathering early,” mothwing’s voice cut through graystripe’s thoughts, “thunderclan and shadowclan will want to inform their returning cats of what’s happened since they’ve left, and thunderclan will likely want to get acquainted with...” she trailed off, her gaze meeting millie’s.
“oh! my name’s millie,” the former kittypet mewed after a pause, “i’m sure i’ll get to know you all quite well!”
with that, thunderclan left, but not without conversation.
“yes.”
sorreltail’s mew was sudden, and confused graystripe. “what?”
“these are the only survivors,” the calico mewed, desperately keeping her voice from breaking, “the first to die was brackenfur. he tried to save an apprentice - maybe a kit? i don’t remember for sure - from a hawk, but fell off the cliff trying. i... i don’t know much more, i zoned out after rainwhisker and sootfur died in a storm. maybe ashfur and cinderpelt can tell you more.”
ashfur nodded. “birchkit was close to his apprenticeship, but he was still young, and the journey was far too much for him, and he must’ve succumb to fatigue or something similar; none of the medicine cats were all too sure,” he sighed, “spiderpaw died trying to save dawnflower’s kits from a monster on the thunderpath. if you think about it, it’s a little funny how most of both of ferncloud’s litters died in the same way; hollykit and larchkit of starvation, and shrewpaw and spiderpaw on a thunderpath.Â
then... then ferncloud... she died too. i wasn’t awake when it happened, but the cats who were keeping watch said she died defending the kits from a predator. squirrelpaw made most of the journey, but we ran into some rogues who were far too strong for her to defeat. leafpaw stayed with her sister, and may still be alive, but i strongly doubt it. firestar, leopardstar, tallstar and blackstar all lost their last lives defending their clans. mistyfoot and mudclaw took their leaders’ places for a bit, but died as well, leaving mothwing as riverclan’s medicine cat and healer, and ashfoot as windclan’s leader. more happened but... it’s too much.”
graystripe rested his tail on his clanmate’s shoulder, sympathy in his eyes.
when they got back to camp, graystripe hopped onto what he assumed was the equivalent of the highrock. the cats gathered as he spoke.
“i say these words before starclan, so that the spirits of our clanmates may hear and approve of my choice. the new deputy of thunderclan is ashfur,” he turned to the new deputy, “ashfur, while you haven’t had an apprentice, i believe this is the most logical choice. at your warrior ceremony, firestar asked starclan to honor your dedication and skill in battle, and i ask them to honor this again.”
there was a silence, and graystripe feared he’d done something wrong, until-
“ashfur!” millie yowled. “ashfur!”
while few, the remaining clan members chanted ashfur’s name, and graystripe felt not so alone.
i need to somehow fit in dovewing and ivypool so that briar and blossom can have their gfs... might make them kittypet kits who’re found and brought to the clans like in @/sun-shad0w’s lake/stormclan au.
plus i like them being colorpoints (even though i don’t draw them like that ever) so it’d explain that better.
