Hello! I am Coffee (CoffeeCats900 is my Main blog!) and I am the one running this account! First of all welcome to BristleClan is Missing! Second of all...
This comic follows the story of Bella, a kittypet, who is taken in by Bristleclan right before they fall victim to unexplainable horrors. The characters are generated by Clangen and relationships are loosely based on in-game data, but all main plot points (especially regarding those having to do with the horror) are written by yours truly.

Oh boy, a complex character who's a woman! I love messy characters who hurt everyone around them and continue the cycles that hurt them!! Can't wait to share this joy with fellow fans– why's everyone calling her a bitch
When you are a Woman in Power and you lost your child and you take out your grief in a terrible way on an unrelated third party that doesn’t deserve it club
There’s an ask in my inbox about Weedstar and Flowerfleck (when they were younger and how they fell in love) in my inbox and I have NO IDEA WHEN I RECEIVED IT
I just wanna let you know anon that I SEE IT NOW and I HAVE THEIR BACKSTORY FULLY WRITTEN OUT (it was written since day 1) and I am VERY EXCITED TO ANSWER THIS ASK
Ive reread the callout post and checked the alt of the transphobic jumalanpelko fan, and realized something/noticed
Apparently they also have been posting things that could he possibly seen as pedophilic/abusive. Spottedpaw x thistleclaw and Bone x Tawnypaw/tawnypelt from birdsongs au. But i could be wrong.
I know they made some parts of it look "bad" but its mainly for ones with thistleclaw, even then some pov makes it look cute with the excuse saying its "spottedpaws pov" i could be wrong though, i hope i am.
Anon bc i really really hope im wrong.
Didn’t wanna bring any more attention to this post but just gonna confirm the worries that yes it’s exactly what you think it is. I just didn’t know about it when I made the post because I didn’t know about the ALT back then.
I was encouraged to make my own contribution to the Root AU bandwagon!
AU Below...
This would happen in the time before the main story of Bristleclan, when Silverspots first had her litter of kittens. She finds her near Gladeclan's border and takes her in as her own.
Rootkit grows up alongside Tempestkit, Hushkit, and Lyrekit as her siblings and Daylightning, the deputy, as her adoptive father. Despite being the one who went out of her way to raise her as her own, Silverspots is an exceptionally neglectful mother and its exceedingly obvious when she leaves the 4 of them alone and Lyrekit is taken by a hawk. After that Daylightning takes over as their sole caretaker, at least hes a good attentive parent.
Eventually they're all made apprentices, Tempestpaw to Dappledrun, Hushpaw to the young medicine cat Frondpatch and Rootpaw to the senior warrior Flowerfleck.
Flowerfleck is a wonderful mentor to Rootpaw and they develop a close bond with one-another. She influences Rootpaw to be a strong leader and helps her have fun while out on the job. Rootpaw aspires to be relied upon by everyone like Flowerfleck is.
Late in her apprenticeship rats invade the camp, many cats are injured including Daylightning and her brother Hushpaw. Daylightning quickly died from his injuries and her and her family was shocked by their immense grief, but there wasn't time to be overtaken by sadness, Hushpaw's wounds were infected... and he NEEDED help.
Silverspots said that his fate was up to Starclan.
Everyone in the clan watched mouthes agape as she left young Frondpatch to save Hushpaw alone. Rootpaw and Tempestpaw were not trained in healing. They wanted to save their brother but they didn't know what to do. The two laid together on the rocks outside the medicine den fur bristling waiting for some sign. They got it when Frondpatches wails rang loudly from inside the den. He was gone. Tempestpaw was never the same after that day. He tried to act like nothing ever happened, and that he didn't have a mother, perhaps they never really had a mother.
When they were finally made warriors the air was dry and heavy, all they could think about were the ones that never made it. Tempestpaw was named Tempestdrizzle and Rootpaw was named Rootrain. Weedstar named them after each other, in the hopes that they would never part.
Tempestdrizzle mentored Fishpaw and Rootrain mentored Cedarpaw, they both assisted in mentoring Bella together
And then the eternal overcast came.
Moons passed, Many cats died from unexplainable causes, the entire clan was on edge. They believed that it was all their fault. Their own mother Silverspots declared that the entire clan was to blame for not being devoted enough followers of Starclan. Something didn't feel right to Rootrain. When was Silverspots ever right about anything, WHY was it our faults?!?! If anything Silverspots should be the one to fix everything.
It was Rootrains turn to make a donation to The Moon's Maw... To Starclan... Mother's orders. Then suddenly the earth grabbed her own legs, roots wrapping around her like snakes. She was being dragging into the earth. She dropped the squirrel in her mouth and screamed for help until her throat crackled. The earth contorted and crackled and she felt as if she couldn't breathe, only her neck and head was exposed now. The world spiraled. Tendrils of roots spun around her throat.
"ROOTRAIN"
Tempestdrizzles terrified voice rang out from what seemed like everywhere at once. Then she was gone, dirt poured into her eyes stinging like acid. She tired to gasp for air but her mouth was filled with dirt and rocks, coughing it up was impossible. The last thing she felt was sheer panic as she couldn't get the dirt out of her chest and throat.
