PINECLAN is under NEW MANAGEMENT 🪵🍃🐱⭐️🌾🌲

Generation after generation, leader after leader, Pineclan has remained untouched by the influence of outsider clans. Originally formed as a save haven from persecution, the cliff-dwelling mountaincats have formed an increasingly tight knight, high strung group- a feared one at that.

Olivepool had taken control of the community after the death of longtime leader Willowstar, a cat who had great plans for the clan. As the wilted willow lay dying, she whispered her plans into the ear of her young deputy, hoping they would settle deep into her mind and blossom in the future.

Olivestar had planned for greatness, but she hadn't planned for tragedy. A fire raged through the land only a pawful of moons ago, ending the lives of many. Now it is up to the young survivors to rebuild, as a new version of Pineclan is born from the ashes.

Follow Pineclan through their new journey of survival and circumstance!

So excited to bring this page back to life!! I'll be updating as I feel, but I'm hoping to finish the starter allegiances soon!!

Fleckshade got in a tussle with a fox that ended with her tail getting mangled.

Coyotepaw is named Coyotetwist, honored for her sense of justice during the ceremony. She seems distant, as her thoughts are less on protecting Pineclan, and more on ensuring that anyone who harms her clan mates will be paid in kind.
