She's a tortie smoke point with low white. I love the heather blue eyes in-game, and it's a shade of blue, which both her point and white allow for. she's also carrying for cinnamon and dilution because of a descendant and her parent respectively. The ginger patches also display mackerel stripes, though it is harder to tell on this sprite.

Here's her mate, Gracklescar. No, he never got any scars in-game, so idk why he's named that. Anyway, he's a simple blue longhair with no white. He lost his cobalt blue eyes because of no white, and the fact I will only through non-canon white on a blue-eyed cat if A. they have a high white parent, or B. the shade of blue is heather blue, which is my favorite.

Both their daughters are ticked, and Wyvernleap isn't. I mean, she could be, since her ginger patches are on her face and tail, but I chose to give it to Gracklescar so he has something about his striping. don't know if he's homo or heterozygous though, since their son is solid and not showing any stripes.

Now, technically, these two had 5 kits. However, two of those kits died as babies, and were easy solid black-based bitches anyway. So, we're just gonna go over the three who grew up.

The eldest of the trio is Dragonfeather. (Note, the golden genotype boxes and bow are because I was picking heirs to follow and it helped me keep track)

Just like her mother, Dragonfeather is a black tortie smoke. She's also ticked, displayed in her single stripe. She would probably have more stripes though, since she can't be homozygous for ticked. She has low white on her face, so she can have her blue eyes.

Sadly, she died without having kits, so onto her littermate.

Cloudycrawl is simply a black longhair cat. he's carrying a few things because of his parents, but he also died without having kits, so this is all we know about his genome.

Now to the baby; Grackletangle

She was born the same moon her dad died, so she got named after him. Like her mother and sister, Grackletangle is a black tortie smoke. She's ticked like her sister, and is carrying for cinnamon, dilution, colorpoint, and non-silver for further down the line. Because Grackle, unlike her siblings, did actually have kids before she died.

I will cover Grackletangle's mate and child next time.

Hope you enjoy!

I also love the heather-blue eyes aw man....

Anyway, time for Burnetheart's branch! She's had two wives, one is dead, the other is just no longer mates with her. She's also still alive, so if she has another kitten later, I'll let you know.

For now, here's the cats we're working with. We'll start with Ed and her kids first.

Someone finally gets to keep their blue eyes! Woo! Also, this family seems to really like smokes. I have Ed carrying for classic, non-ticked, dilution, and non-inhibitor for her kids.

Now, on to the kids.

First, the tragic Berrywatcher. Her husband poisoned her a few moons after they got together, and then he went and told Burnetheart that he killed her daughter and that she deserved it. The dude is still alive, btw.

She's a classic chocolate tabby with high white. Pretty simple.

Next are her brothers. One of which has 9 children...

Shadefin is the one with a bunch of kits. He doesn't have white in-game, but he needs a little white to keep his blue eyes, and both parents have an S and a w he could get. I made him cinnamon, so each parent is now carrying for cinnamon. Burnetheart gets her cinnamon from Tuftpelt, who got it from Rimewisp. The gaps will get filled out when I tackle Shadefin's children.

Well, that's concerning to know... (Airpaw is one of Shadefin's children)

Anyway! Here's Coniferfade! He is smoke under all that white. Which is a shame. Why are all the inhibitor children dying without having children?! Aaaaaaaaaaaa.

And that's all of Burnetheart's kits with Ed. Now for her single kits with Morelnight.

Here's Morelnight. No tricks outside the transness, she's just cream.

Shadegorse is almost identical to Morelnight, genetically, just non-dilute.

Pretty quick update, all things considered. Time to go deal with Shadefin's branch... see if I can trim it up a bit.

Hope you enjoy!

HOYL SHIT WE GETTIN DRAMA!

These are gonna be very interesting when you get to them, purely because they'll be in reversed order from how they get sent lol.

Maybe I should write the next tree out separately and send them in reversed order? Things to think about later, I guess.

Here's the branch for this update. Foggyswirl is nonbinary, so I'm gonna make them afab for the sake of this tree.

Let's start with Buttercupfur, since he was the main cat and the reason I lost the challenge in this save. He was a golden homo ticked cat, almost the same color as Sunmoth's parent Rimewisp, just with a different tint to the fur.

I basically copied Rimewisp's genes and altered them slightly for Buttercupfur. The big changes are that he can't be homo ticked because Sunmoth has no ticked, and he can't have blue eyes without anywhere to get white from.

Now that we have the main boy done, let's see what Sunmoth's mate Foggyswirl needs for him to look like this.

Foggy, in-game, is just a lilac tabby. I could do the cinnamon/fawn trick again to avoid Foggyswirl being tortie, plus Buttercupfur's brother, despite being cream, needs to be non-ginger for his cinnamon daughter. So that's what I'll be doing.

In hindsight, probably should've done Foggy first and looked at Batpad's lineage to see what he needed to carry...

Here's an updated Buttercupfur with his new fawn color, and Foggyswirl. I still had to change their design because Buttercup needed to get ticked from somewhere. Made them hererozygous because, while Buttercup needed ticked from them, his brother needed non-ticked. Foggyswirl also lost their blue eyes. Alot of cats are losing blue eyes because there's nowhere to get white, or because they had no need to have white outside the blue eyes.

Gonna do the three daughters real quick. They all died without any notable events, so I don't care as much about how close their designs stay to the game sprites. I could make Foggy a tortie so Starling can be fully ginger, or I could make Starling a cinnamon tortie while her sisters are chocolate torties. I don't really care to keep these three's designs as much as I don't wanna remake Foggy. So these girls all get tortied up.

I decided mid-redesign to make Twigwish a black torbie instead of chocolate to add a little fun genetic variety with the trio. Recessives and epistatic genes are great sometimes.

Finally, we have the baby of the group, and the only living sibling; Batpad.

I will most likely follow his children for future updates after I get Tuftpelt's branch mapped out(and maybe trimmed). His living children are a solid cream she-cat and a brown tabby tom. With his daughter's lack of stripes at all, I decided to make her fawn instead, so Batpad needs to be non-ginger as well. In-game, he's a cream tabby, so he's now a fawn tabby like his brother, just without the ticking.

Here he is!

I'll tackle his children and mates after I go through Tuftpelt's branch of the tree. Hope you enjoy the updates!

Waspchirp must've took that personally because in the time between Geodesight's litter being born in-game and now, Waspchirp has had 3 litters with 3 different mollies, and has become the clan leader.

Waspchirp, or Waspstar ig, is a blue mackerel tabby.

Lucky bachelorette #1 is a former loner named Juniper. She's a blue spotted torbie (technically, in-game she's bengal, but I just used spotted for the genetics and picrew).

Waspstar and Juniper had 3 kits: Dustspeckle, Carppath, and Hickorystripe.

Dustspeckle is a lilac mackerel tabby, Carppath is a blue spotted tabby(another bengal-turned-spotted), and Hickory, the only girl of the litter, is a lilac classic torbie.

These lilac kits get their chocolate allele from Waspchirp, whose father was chocolate under his ginger.

Bachelorette #2 is Abyssleaf, a ginger mackerel tabby.

She and Wadpstar also had a litter of 2 toms and a molly: Sandmoon, Sootblotch, and Serpentspore.

Where I'm at currently in-game, Serpentspore is the last living child from this litter.

Sandmoon was a black classic torbie who was murdered by Lightstorm's son Shinestone.

Sootblotch, whom I imagine probably got his name from getting clumps of dirt in his pelt which I, sadly, didn't think to depict here, was a cream mackerel tabby. He was also murdered. I don't know why my game decided to have 4 different murderers.

Finally(for now, at least), we have bachelorette #3. Her litter with Waspstar is separate because I didn't NOT want to try and squeeze her into the other tree.

Wetcloud was a blue smoke with such high white you can barely tell she's smoke. She was the oldest of the three cats Waspstar had kits with, the most recent cat he had kits with, and the only one of these three ladies whose dead. A med cat fed her the wrong herbs.

Before her death, she and Waspstar had two kits, Popcrackle and Ratstalk.

Popcrackle is a lilac silver spotted tabby with low white, and I love him sm.

Ratstalk is a blue classic tabby with just a little white on her.

Hope you enjoy this mess.

This will not be the last time I have to make trees with multiple mates. Waspstar's cousin is next in my list of trees, and she also has litters with more than one cat.

aw fuck yeah time for a new episode of my favorite soap opera

DAMN sometimes a guy just comes outta nowhere huh??? congrats waspstar!!

god theyre all so cute

Anyway, here's the new branch for Lightstorm's family tree.

Lightstorm is a cream ticked tabby withlow white, son of a black mackerel tabby and a fawn tortie sepia point with ticked on her cream patches and low white. His mate, Puddleshade, was a blue ticked tabby.

Daypelt is a ticked fawn torbie with low white. Her mate, Cottonwing, is a blue ticked tabby.

Daypelt and Cottonwing had two kits before Daypelt passed away in game.

Frozenstrike is a lilac homozygous ticked tabby, and Howlivy is a blue heterozygous ticked torbie.

Not as much to talk about this time, but the cats are very pretty.

Hope you enjoy!

OOOO We gettin some ginger in there!!! :OOO

Sadly, no ginger has graced this tree since the random fem cats in the initial Frostwind tree.

Dawnswirl's mate is Wisteriabone, a fawn mackerel tabby with low white.

Since Dawn is blue and Wisteria is fawn, all their children are dilute.

Now, when I make these genetically accurate (to the best of my knowledge at least) family trees based off Clangen cats, I take the game generated design and only alter the parts that aren't genetically accurate.

Like when two black based bitches have a ginger child/ref

But it can also lead to devastating results, design-wise. Which is what happened with Sableegg.

The game made Sable this pretty cream point, which I'd have coded in my tree as fawn since his mother doesn't have an ounce of ginger to her. Sadly, his brothers Airshade and Fallowsummit are both lilac.

Since Dawn was B/?, but Wisteria was bl/bl, Dawn could only have either b or bl to have anything other than black kits. Sadly, I had to give Air and Fallow their b, meaning Sable couldn't be fawn anymore.

And I didn't want him and Fallow looking almost identical, so sadly Sable is yet another blue point in this tree.

Not really much to say about Alderfeather and Cavehorn. They're just blue mollies(I use that as a general term, like the fem equivalent of tom) with low white. Cavehorn is also solid, so who knows what striping she's hiding.

That's all for Frostwind's family tree updates for now. There is another branch to make, but it's fourth on my list for these trees. Next will be an addition to the mess that was Lightstorm's tree. Which I never did explain genetically, now that I think about it...

Hope you enjoy! This has basically become a series of me rambling about cat genes and the families of my favorite beans.

At some point, I might share designs unrelated to the tree saga, but idk when that'll be.

Oh fuck YEAH!! more this!!! let's gooooo!!

oh man I totally get that LOL, when 2 black cats have a spontaneous ginger or vice-versa in clangen im like. hm.

Added to the pile of OCs, right at the top, welcome Woodbelly!
