Hello!

Welcome to a project that's been a little over a year and a half in the making. You might know me from @briarclan-horror-artlocke , but this project has nothing to do with that universe.

A disclaimer: This is NOT a writerlocke or artlocke blog, there will not be moons or comics.

This blog is what i will be using to post all the references i've made of the biggest clan i've made to this day. It will include tidbits about each character, family, some fun facts if i have the time.

I have no schedule for this, or any set order for posting characters. The leader might very well be the last one to be posted, or not. who knows? The only one who knows is the wheel of names i made. Feel free to ask about any characters! I'll accept requests to draw any of the characters if you want to see more of them, and i'll even take suggestions about friendships or relationships you think might be cool.

So! I have most of the next part completed, but in the meantime!

Here’s my team card for ArtFight this year! All of BriarClan is included, but I have a lot of fondness for LionRipple and GlowPaw so I decided to add them as the featured characters. I didn’t have time to make any new drawings like I did last year, but I like my older art anyways. If you know about my other clan that I’ve been posting, @ridgeclan-a-mega-clan, all characters posted there are also included on my profile :)

A little hint, I prioritize revenges against attacks on characters that don’t have more than 2 attacks. So. Most of them really.

Vervain

Vervain was originally a kittypet who got lost after wandering too far away from home. RidgeClan warriors helped her to find her way back to her twoleg's den, only to find that the twolegs were gone. Distraught by her misfortune, RidgeClan welcomed her in as a warrior until she could get back on her feet. However, Vervain discovered she had a talent for herbs and instead decided to permanently stay in the clan as a Medicine Cat. She's been part of the clan for most of her life now, and is utterly tired of StarClan's bullshit. Either be straightforward or don't talk to her at all, thank you very much.

I’ll add details later bc it’s 3am, I just wanted to show these two bc I love them very much.

FoxStar, BorageShock, and LuckScratch

FoxStar is the leader of the clan, and has been leader since the clan formed. She was only 15 moons when she became leader, and was a rather foolish leader in the beginning. She has 7 lives left, having lost her first life after being shoved under a monster by an unknown assailant, and her second to a greencough breakout.

BorageShock is currently an elder, having recently retired just 3 moons ago. She was the first deputy of the clan, and originally was planning on killing FoxStar and taking her place as leader due to being annoyed and angered by FoxStar's foolish decisions that could've hurt others. She never got to act on those plans though, as she found herself falling in love with her charm.

LuckScratch is a half-clan warrior who was born in another clan on Moon 7 and was brought back with the rest of her littermates. She graduated late at 15 moons old, and was honored for her dutifulness. It wasn't until much later in her life that she joined FoxStar and BorageShock's relationship, when she was around 40 or so moons old.

All three of them are in a very loving and respectful relationship, and the relationship is the envy of many young cats who dream of one day having such a happy life.

ClothSmoke

ClothSmoke was born outside of the clan but was later abandoned and brought in by a patrol on Moon 93 at the age of 4 moons with her brother. It was very obvious from the moment she joined that she was born paralyzed, and it's thought that litter was abandoned in the territory as the parent wanted to give them a better chance of survival amongst a group that could care for them.

She graduated at 12 moons and was honored for her dignity, but retired relatively quickly after deciding she liked playing with kits and telling stories more than hunting and fighting. She's a complete pacifist, and often disregarded her Mentor's orders when it came to him telling her to fight trespassers.

PaleFoot and PaleNest

PaleFoot was originally a loner who joined the clan by choice after meeting a few cats at the border and decided that was the lifestyle he wanted to follow. I forgot to write down when he joined the clan, but i believe it was around Moon 50, Meaning he would have been around 67 moons old. He was mates with SnakeSong, and was so excited to be a father. He died protecting SnakeSong from an adder that managed to get into the camp. The stress of seeing her mate die in front of her caused SnakeSong to go into labor. PaleNest is SnakeSong and PaleFoot's third daughter. She was born into the clan on Moon 85. She has had some trouble with being compared to her father, some days feeling like people don't see her but PaleFoot. She graduated at 12 moons after being trained by RookEmber, and she's become quite skilled at smoothing over arguments.

ChasingKnoll

ChasingKnoll is a former kittypet! She joined the clan on Moon 89 at the age of 82 moons. She was abandoned by her former twolegs after catching greencough, and RidgeClan brought her in to treat her. Originally, she planned to leave the clan and find new twolegs, but she grew close to many of the cats who came in and out of the medicine den and decided that she wanted to stay, if only so she wouldn't lose these new friends. She still wonders about her old friends, if they'd still recognize her or if they thought she died. But she knows that she wouldn't be able to go back, that she'd miss clanlife too much.

HoneyBubble and ShaleSilk

HoneyBubble was born into the clan on Moon 18 to clan founders LightRoot and AppleDance. He graduated early at 10 moons and was honored for his good nature.

ShaleSilk was born outside of the clan on Moon 14, and joined the clan soon after with her parent and brother. She was trained by Shino and graduated early at 11 moons. She was honored for her determination.

ShaleSilk and HoneyBubble are mates, and have 19 kits together, the youngest of whom have just become apprentices. HoneyBubble brings ShaleSilk out of her shell, and ShaleSilk keeps HoneyBubble from accidentally overwhelming his quieter clanmates with his exuberance.

MiriamTail

MiriamTail was a former kittypet who stumbled upon the clan after eating crowfood and getting sick with Carrionplace Disease. She was a brown and black speckled tortie with grey eyes, and a pink bow collar around her neck.

She died peacefully of old age in her sleep, 5 moons after being taken in by the clan. MiriamTail had no family in the clan, but she was loved dearly.

FallowShade

FallowShade is one of Strife and Shino's many children. She was born into the clan on Moon 54, and graduated at 12 moons old. She was honored for her exemplar. FallowShade was a well regarded and trusted individual, and was often the one other's looked to for advice. She unfortunately passed away when she gave birth to her kits, and she used her dying breaths to tell her parents and mate instructions on how her kits would be cared for, staying alive until she knew her kits would be in good paws.

As a StarClan resident, she is often the one to deliver prophecies to FoxStar.

Shino and Strife

Shino is a former kittypet who joined the clan by choice on moon 19 at the age of 42 moons. As of right now, She is actually 133 moons unlike what is written in the reference. She is currently the oldest warrior in the clan, and is still going strong despite her age.

Strife is also a former kittypet. He used to live on a boat but joined the clan when his twolegs had to leave him behind upon moving to a place that didn't allow pets. He joined on moon 42 at the age of 81 moons. As of right now, he is actually 149 moons unlike what the reference says.

Strife kept his name as it was given to him by his twolegs' little boy who he adored. He's only just recently retired, slowing down considerably in his old age.

Strife and Shino have been in love for 84 moons, and have happily raised 31 kits together over the years, even if not all of their kits were had together. Their youngest litter is a litter of 2 at 3 moons old.
