"She will rip the valley into pieces"

Place for my warriors ocs. Story is underdeveloped, but revolves around the warrior Hawkheart, and how her presence altered the fate of every cat around her.

Stupid joke based on a quite dramatic and tragic scene in my story Quotes kinda from Deadpool

[clans-by-the-valley]

Berrypelt, elder of Willowclan 

father to Raytalon, Roosterpaw, and Sandpaw 

Berrypelt was a grumpy cat who fools with many loners in his time, not caring for the personality of his clan but not wanting to leave the thick cover of the pines for the other open, dangerous territory. He did his time for the clan, and forced Featherstar to let him retire, threatening to kill his kits if she didn’t. He would never, but the news got out and his younger two kits, now apprentices, avoided him. He doesn’t have many to go to anymore, but he doesn’t care. He basically waits for sickness or death in the elder’s den.

Badgerpelt, elder of Willowclan 

mate to Fogwillow, father to Moonclaw, Dreamfoot, Shimmerpelt, and Bluebird 

Very much a therapist. Badgerpelt was born blind, and suffered the same fate as his beloved Fogwillow. He mourns the massive change in her personality, but still always loves her dearly and stays near her every day. He speaks lightly and kindly, but few appreciate this. His closest companion is his son, Dreamfoot. 

He faced a black bear once along with a Wildclan patrol. He was scarred badly, but it was a great victory, and Wildclan has admired the elder ever since.

Fogwillow, elder of Willowclan 

mate to Badgerpelt, mother to Moonclaw, Dreamfoot, Shimmerpelt, and Bluebird 

Fogwillow is an old, blind molly able to retire due to Featherstar’s perception of her being “useless”. She is understandably very senile about this, and doesn’t interact with much of her family, not that they are akin to interaction either. She is kind to the young, though, not wanting them to turn out rude and unappreciative.

Antkit, Foxkit, and Crowkit, kits of Willowclan 

daughters of Darkfang 

These three kits were given completely over to their aunt Lightningstep, even to the point of nursing, because the queen already had her daughter Firekit. As such, they took on her aggressive warrior guidance. 

Antkit is a bit of a natural softie, instead of taking on the teachings of how to be a warrior, she admires the warriorship of her sisters. Lightningstep is dissapointed, but figures it’s just part of her “non-compliant” sister. Antkit does get bullied by her sisters and cousin, but it just seeps into her admiration of them. 

Foxkit is just like Firekit, a complete snappy bully. She expects herself the become the greatest warrior in the territories, and brags about this “fact” all the time. She plays clans with Firekit and Crowkit often, faking the leader and demanding battles for territorial gains. She dreams of glory. 

Crowkit loves to be Foxkit’s deputy. She copies her sister down to a t, wanting to be just as powerful a future warrior. But besides time with Foxkit, she’s often quiet and grumpy, waiting for when she can get back with her sister.

Brownkit, kit of Willowclan 

son of Mousetail and Leafdapple 

Brownkit’s father doesn't care much for him, but his mother treats him with the most love just to try and forget about embarrassment. He’s very babied and it shows-he’s not the best with words and whines often when he doesn’t get his way. But, he’s much sweeter than most of the other kits, so no cats really mind that he’s spoiled.

Firekit, kit of Willowclan 

daughter of Raytalon and Lightningstep 

Due to her mother’s over-encouraging personality, Firekit is shaping up to be a jerk. She’s very snappy, even to the elders. No one ever tells her to shape up, or critiques her parents because of their high status, so Firekit gets away with all her snappiness and rudeness. 

[clans-by-the-valley]

Foamkit and Stonekit, kits of Willowclan 

son and daughter of Whaleheart and Granitefur 

Foamkit is a bit of a shy little baby, she hasn’t left her mother’s side for more than a morning despite being 4 moons old. She avoids her brother and doesn’t even have many other kit friends, even with the nicer ones like Brownkit and Antkit. Her parents worry and hope she will break her shell. 

Stonekit has taken in the badass of his parents and the snarky attitude of his clanmates, becoming the personality of most of Willowclan. His parents are proud of him, though his mother worries about what he may become. 

[clans-by-the-valley]

Willowclan kits will be up tommorow, and elders on friday! Then my week long absence, but if all goes well, a decent amount of Wildclan will be done during this time. Then, I'm planning on making a plot introduction post!

Teenage daughter roasts her dad, more at 11

[clans-by-the-valley]

Remade Hawkheart's facial scars so they make more sense and are eaiser to draw :3 I seperated the connected scarring, so it's more obvious they are two individually-obtained wounds.

[clans-by-the-valley]

Succulentpaw/stripe, apprentice and warrior of Willowclan 

daughter of Shimmerpelt 

Succulentpaw’s mother died from birth exhaustion and leaf-bare sickness, and in turn she grew up weak because not many other cats in camp had much milk. Adding insult to injury, she broke her tail in some rough play with apprentices, because there were no other kits to play with. She lost many social skills early on, and became very aggressive and irritable. Her father avoided her for these reasons, and because he was angry with his clan in general.

By stroke of luck, Succulentpaw was given her relaxing uncle Dreamfoot as a mentor, a tom who had instinct to deal with a kit like her. He gives her extra time to learn, and gives her space when she becomes aggressive and throws fits. As they became closer, he was able to approach her in her anger and calm her by curling around her and licking her pelt, affection that Succulentpaw very much appreciated. With his help, she was able to slowly grow from a wild mess to just a crabby, sassy trainee. Some of the other apprentices even started interacting with her after this change as well, especially the young curious Ashpaw, who Succuletpaw grows to appreciate. 

Succuletpaw is the first to detect mysterious activity in the territories following a string of deaths, and brings her concerns to her mentor. Her and Dreamfoot are the first to begin investigating what is going on, although the rest of Willowclan sees the occurrences as just a way to gain more power while the other clans are weakened and thrown into chaos.

Ashpaw/step, apprentice and warrior of Willowclan

Son of Boulderfall and Leafdapple, brother to Reedpaw and Snailpaw

Ashpaw is a smug youth, quipping and making fun of apprentices and warriors alike. But despite his rude demeanor, he’s not close to his father at all. In fact, he learns much from his mother, Boulderfall, who is glad that at least one of her kits reaches out to her.

Ashpaw has a particular interest in Succuletpaw, a young molly who is completely antisocial and always furious. He believes there is something more to the troublesome cat.

[clans-by-the-valley]

Reedpaw/storm, apprentice and warrior of Willowclan 

Son of Boulderfall and Leafdapple, brother to Snailpaw and Ashpaw

Reedkit wanted to be a hero at the beginning of his life, and thus always reached out to his meek little brother Snailkit. His guardianship continued into his apprenticehood, until he was manipulated by both his father and his mentor, Raytalon, to stay away from the worthless tom. Reedpaw obliged, and, with the extra effort off his back, he grew in power quickly. He is amazingly fast and keen, and known especially for his accuracy in hunting and battle. But he is a grumpy pessimist of a young tom, not one many like to be around. 

Except for a small apprentice from Wildclan.

Snailpaw/cloud, apprentice and warrior of Willowclan 

Son to Boulderfall and Leafdapple, brother to Reedpaw and Ashpaw

The runt of the litter, despite being the oldest. Snailpaw is a coward, afraid to fight and hunt, and not wanting to hurt even the smallest fly. For a while he lived under the protection of his brother Reedpaw, but the younger tom neglected him, telling him to grow up. Snailpaw gained trust issues after this, and has no strong bonds within his clan, even rejecting his mother's affections.

[clans-by-the-valley]

Sandpaw/stone, apprentice and warrior of Willowclan 

son of Berrytail, little brother to Raytalon, brother to Roosterpaw 

A shy, reserved, grumpy, and needlessly bitter tom. Sandpaw is impressed by his brother despite not knowing him very well, and is frustrated with his elder father for not allowing him more interaction with the bright cat. Sandpaw shows significant drive in learning to fight and grow strong, often hammering and battering trees and rocks in his training, to the point of blistering his paws. Once getting a drive out of his sister’s physical inferiority, he now feels even more insecure and angry with her daily growth.
