This is a blog dedicated to documenting the stories and characters from my ClanGen game, SplashClan!
Story
The four clans once lived in peace until BloodClan came, forcing them to flee their home. While they found a home, new territories beside a lake, fighting soon began amongst the clans and starvation caused the clans to die out. Years passed and a decendant of the old clan cats, Rootmask, discovers that the lake is being occupied by groups of BloodClan-affiliated rogues. Angered that his ancestor's home is being taken over once again by BloodClan, he decides to fight back by reforming the clans.
In the end, DeadClan, HeatherClan, HazeClan and SplashClan were formed and the BloodClan-affiliated rogues were driven out.
Characters
Here's a link to all the character bios and a list of the order the bios will be posted in! (may contain spoilers for future characters and name changes)
nearly forgot to advertise this here, but new video up! and another thing i talked about in the video, i now have a discord server!
there i post all my art before it goes anywhere else (and that includes my design blog) + i make sure to announce whenever i post something new on youtube or for my fanfic, so join if you want!
Hey! Do you have any... Moddsss (??? Does clangen allow mods?) For splashgen? I just feel like I never get the same amount of crazy shit happening in your game, like mass extinctions? The food getting poisoned from human trash? Moving dens? Wowie!
i personally don't use any mods but i believe there are some around! i'd check the clangen discord server if you're interested in that kind of thing-
i'd say *most* of the stuff that happens in splashclan did happen to *some* extent in the game, but i tend to dramatize or add little details here and there to make it more interesting to listen to during a speedpaint!
aside from the art practice i get from drawing the cats, another reason i'm so invested in splashclan is the storytelling part of it, it gives me a chance to develop characters and really delve into story ideas that i have to search for in whatever events or vague statuses the game gives me. i use the vagueness of the events, character interactions, and in-game statuses to my advantage to make an interesting story!
i will say though, you are right with how crazy splashclan gets sometimes! i've played other clangen files and i've NEVER had two separate mass extinctions happen within the SAME year
almost forgot to post these today, but here's the artwork for the SplashClan years 7-8 video, moving onto years 9-10 next!

Gannettstar do you regret how you treat your children
"Perhaps I do, I could've been a better parent- but the world is a cruel place, someone needed to teach them that. If it wasn't me, it would've been someone else. It's a shame what happened to Patchouliprickle though, he would've been my first choice of deputy if not for him dying. Oh well, things are going to go my way now."

Jadezinna was born as a rogue named Jade who initially found a sense of belonging in the clans and went on to become a warrior of SplashClan. In the clans he met Lightgale, a skilled healer. The two became mates and Jadezinnia’s devotion and love towards him led to him neglecting his warrior duties. Tragedy struck when a patrol he was on led to the death of a clanmate, leaving him in shock. He eventually suffered a bad leg injury and when his first litter of kits with Lightgale (Clovekit, Downkit, and Gorgekit) arrived, complications arose. Despite the challenges, Jadezinnia was able to fully recover.
After his injury, Jadezinnia retired to the elders' den where he spent the rest of his life. Lonely in later years, he found solace and companionship in a newcomer named Crunchwrap, the two forming a close bond. However, Jadezinnia became saddened by the loss of Crunchwrap as well as the realization that he might not live to see his second litter (Tidalkit, Thornkit, and Algaekit) receive their full names. In the end, he died of old age, leaving a lasting impact on his clanmates, especially Lightgale and their family.

Detailed Biography
Jadezinnia was born as Jade, a rogue who traveled from place to place, feeling the most free when he never had anything tying him down. This was his life until he discovered the clans. Even though he had previously felt the most free being on his own and without a community, he enjoyed it more than he had enjoyed anything before. He realized that living around other cats in a community where everyone was (for the most part) guaranteed to still be there was comforting to him and so he decided to stick around.
Eventually, he found his way to the horseplace near the temporary clan camp and met Gale, a friendly tom-cat skilled in healing who was a traveler like Jade had been before. The two became close friends almost immediately and it helped that the horseplace was the home to plenty of mice and rats for Jade to come and snack on, meaning he was over hanging out with Gale as often as he could be.
One day while out hunting for the clan he stumbled across an injured cat named Snap. He rushed her to the clan however as the three medicine cats worked to save her none of their herbs were working. Jade ran to Gale and begged him for help and in the end Gale’s unique knowledge of herbs proved to be helpful and Snap made a full recovery. This event led to Gale deciding to stick around and join the clans officially as a medicine cat, making Jade incredibly happy.
The clans were officially formed after the rogues were chased off of their territory and both Jadezinnia and Lightgale took their full clan names, joining SplashClan. It was only a few months into the clan's existence when Jadezinnia and Lightgale began to see each other differently. They could no longer consider each other friends, they felt much more for each other than that. The two loved each other and when they were together they both felt the happiest and so they decided to officially become mates.
After this, Jadezinnia would do anything to ensure he could spend time with Lightgale. Since he was a medicine cat he didn’t need to leave camp that often, meaning that Jadezinnia wouldn’t feel the need to leave camp either. However, this led to him beginning to slack off and ditch his warrior duties in order to stay in camp with Lightgale. Though he was well liked by his clan mates it was clear his behavior was annoying them. There were only three warriors in the clan at the beginning (not counting the deputy, Brackenshade) and everyone in the clan needed to help out and yet Jadezinnia just wasn’t.
Gannetstar and Brackenshade began to personally go to him and tell him to go out on patrol to ensure he was actually doing his work. Jadezinnia hated going on patrols but he put up with it to make his clanmates happy, however this led to him experiencing something terrible. One day, he was sent out on patrol with the newly made warriors, Thunderisle and Sagepeak and while out it began to rain, causing the river to flood and sweep them all away. Though Thunderisle and Jadezinnia were able to escape the raging river, Sagepeak wasn’t and he drowned. Jadezinnia was horrified by this and was sent into shock as a result.
He became even lazier, not wanting to go on patrol again due to his fear of witnessing another terrible thing. He was frequently caught napping and spending time in the medicine den with Lightgale when he should’ve been out on patrol or hunting. One day, after being yelled at by Brackenshade to go out and hunt, his leg was caught in a twoleg trap. Thankfully he was able to escape however he was heavily injured. What made this injury worse is that Lightgale and Jadezinnia’s first litter of kits were on the way, meaning that Lightgale was under an immense amount of stress trying to care for Jadezinnia and prepare for their litter.
Eventually their kits, Clovekit, Downkit, and Gorgekit were born and the two couldn’t have been happier to finally be parents. However, Jadezinnia’s mangled leg suddenly became infected and Lightgale, in his immense stress of being the clan’s only medicine cat, now being a father, and trying to desperately care for his injured mate, didn’t know what to do. He frantically ran to the other medicine cats, begging for advice to save his mate. Thankfully in the end, Jadezinnia recovered however his leg was left permanently damaged and twisted. This didn’t bother Jadezinnia though as he was old enough to retire to the elders’ den once he had recovered.
Though Jadezinnia had suffered a lot, retiring to the elders’ den was the best possible place for him. He could stay in camp and be as lazy as he wanted to be and be around Lightgale and his friends without causing the clan to fall behind. As an elder, it gave him a chance to really notice things in the clan that no cat had ever seen before since he was now in camp all day and this led to him being able to save Longpool from a snake before it bit him. No cat had noticed the snake except for Jadezinnia which allowed him to be able to save Longpool’s life.
Through the rest of his life, Jadezinnia spent his time how most elders do, telling stories to kits, giving advice to younger clanmates, and of course spending time with his family. However, Jadezinnia was the only elder which left him feeling a tad lonely. This was until Crunchwrap arrived in the clan. After experiening a terrible disaster she fled to the clans for saftey and companionship and Jadezinnia couldn’t have been happier to have found her. The two became close friends and together they frequently spent time with the kits, Crunchwrap telling them stories with Jadezinnia’s help. Jadezinnia at one point even saved the kitten Shadekit from the river after she had fallen in, showing how much he truly cared for the kittens of the clan.
Jadezinnia’s love and appreciation for kittens became even more evident when he and Lightgale had their second litter of kits, Tidalkit, Thornkit, and Algaekit. Though he was so happy to be a father again he was incredibly saddened by this. He was getting older and older and knew that it was likely he wouldn’t be around long enough to see his kits recieve their full names. What made him even sadder is that only a few months after Crunchwrap joined the clan, she died while trying to escape from camp when HazeClan attacked them. He began to feel like he was missing out, that so much was happening and so much would happen in the future and because of his age he wouldn’t be able to see any of it.
Eventually, Jadezinnia died of old age and went to StarClan, only two months before the first of his second litter became warriors. He was mourned by many in the clan, Lightgale, Snapfern, Thunderisle, Lightspots, Clovefreckle, and Downface were all the saddest and mourned the longest after he had died.

Lightgale was born as Gale, a wandering rogue skilled in herbs who used his knowledge to trade for protection and food. He met Jade, a new clan cat, and their friendship grew into love. Lightgale became SplashClan’s first medicine cat and went on to have kits with Jadezinnia. Despite challenges they were a happy family. Lightgale later had a vision warning against future conflict with HazeClan but Gannetstar didn’t heed his warning which resulted in a terrible war.
Lightgale and Jadezinnia had a second litter and their son, Thornheart trained to become a medicine cat like him. Tragedy struck with the deaths of Jadezinnia of old age and the deaths of all but two of their remaining kits as a result of poisoned prey.

He considered moving on and finding new love after Jadezinnia’s death but never did as he mysteriously disappeared alongside many other SplashClan cats not long after his death.

Detailed Biography
Gale was once a wandering rogue who traded his way through life thanks to his knowledge of herbs. He was never skilled in hunting or fighting and so he was able to use his knowledge to trade for protection, shelter, and food from other rogues or loners he stumbled across. One day, he met the cats who lived at the horseplace and began to stay there in exchange for healing and it was there when he met Jade. Beside the horseplace was the temporary camp for the new clan cats and Jade often came by the horseplace to hunt mice, meaning it wasn’t long till they bumped into each other. The two became close friends right away thanks to Jade’s inviting and friendly demeanor. Though initially, Gale had no intentions of joining the clans things changed when Jade arrived at the horseplace in a frantic manner.
Jade had found and rescued an injured cat named Snap and none of the cats currently in the clans could figure out how to help her. Though there were already three medicine cats in the clans, none of the herbs they were using worked. Gale rushed to help Snap and was able to figure out the specific herb she needed, saving her life. After this, he stuck around to keep an eye on Snap and make sure she was recovering well enough. He eventually realized that even after Snap had recovered he was still needed and he decided to stick around, accepting the name Lightgale, becoming a medicine cat, and joining SplashClan once the rogues were officially driven out.
Lightgale was incredibly happy once his life in the clans began and it became clear to him very quickly that he was able to connect to and interact with StarClan, making him the perfect medicine cat SplashClan needed. It wasn’t long after the clans officially began when things changed between him and Jadezinnia. The two no longer saw each other as friends and they realized how much they really loved each other, deciding to become mates. The two spent a lot of time with each other but that did result in Jadezinnia spending more of his time with Lightgale than doing his warrior duties. Though he had already proven his worth as a healer and had a connection to StarClan, StarClan was very silent towards SplashClan, causing some inner conflict for Lightgale. Aside from that though, Lightgale was still very happy and content with the life he had with Jadezinnia, even if his mate was a tad lazy and tended to slack off on warriors duties.
Eventually, Lightgale and Jadezinnia had their first litter of kits together, who they named Clovekit, Downkit, and Gorgekit. He loved getting to be a father with Jadezinnia but the birth of his kits caused a lot of stress on him. He now had to juggle his tasks as the clan’s sole healer with caring for his kits with Jadezinnia and on top of all of that, Jadezinnia had recently received a nasty leg injury that was struggling to fully heal. For months Jadezinnia fought through infection and Lightgale questioned his own healing abilities, even traveling to the other clans, desperate for any advice to help his mate. Thankfully, in the end Jadezinnia was alright but his injured back leg would never work properly again, though this didn’t bother him, especially not when he had recently retired to the elders' den.
Lightgale and Jadezinnia’s kits were later apprenticed and with Jadezinnia being an elder, a good chunk of Lightgale’s stress was gone. He no longer had to worry about his mate skipping his tasks to spend time with him and his kits were grown up enough that he didn’t need to be constantly watching over them but he still made sure they were close. Clovefreckle, Downface, and Gorgeflight were eventually made warriors but tragedy struck when Gorgeflight drowned in a flood while on patrol. Their family was devastated by the loss but Lightgale refused to let his grief consume him. He stuck to his herb organizing, refusing to let himself even for a moment fall into depression but he broke when his daughter, Downface, was taken away by twolegs only a few months later. He was unable to keep his emotions back any longer and fell into a lengthy state of grief but thankfully, Downface was able to return to SplashClan unharmed a few months later.
His recent stress over his kits, his mate, and the loss of Gorgeflight made him realize how overworked he really felt and he began to keep a close watch on the kits of the clan, hoping that maybe one of them could be a potential medicine cat apprentice. It was after this when he suddenly recieved an omen, the first omen StarClan had ever sent to him. In his dream he watched as a group of faceless cats attacked and tore down a beaver dam, only to be washed away by the flood once the dam broke. The message was clear, if SplashClan continued to antagonize and aggrivate HazeClan it could lead to their demise. No matter how many times he tried to tell Gannetstar about his vision, her faith in StarClan was already horribly low and they refused to acknowledge his vision as true. In the end, SplashClan went to war against HazeClan and lost pitifully. Though SplashClan wasn’t destroyed, the war resulted in the deaths of many cats, even long after the war's end.
Eventually, Lightgale and Jadezinnia were able to have a second litter of kits who they named Tidalkit, Thornkit, and Algaekit. Though a tad older, his new litter of kits were born the same month as his son, Clovefreckle’s litter, allowing for the nine kits to grow up together which also gave him an opportunity to watch for a potential medicine cat apprentice. His eyes were initially on Minkkit who was less interested in fighting and typical clan life and was often curiously investigating the medicine den. It was clear Minkkit wanted to be a medicine cat but during the HazeClan war, Minkkit was left behind in camp during a battle and had to be rescued by Orangefreckle. As a result of this, Orangefreckle died which led to Minkkit becoming traumatized by the event and extremely squeamish when it came to physical injuries, meaning he dropped all hopes of becoming a medicine cat. Strangely, there was another kit who had hopes of being a medicine cat that Lightgale had unknowingly glossed over, his own son, Thornkit. Before Thornkit was apprenticed he asked his father if he could train under him as a medicine cat to which he of course accepted.
He was initially skeptical of Thornpaw, thinking that he only took the position out of pity for him since Minkpaw passed up the position, but it was clear he was devoted to the job and his skepecism quickly passed. Similarly to Lightgale, Thornpaw developed an incredible knowledge for herbs but aside from that was lacking in everything else. His connection to StarClan was faint and his daring and charismatic personality led to him not being the most patient and gentle of medicine cats, even growing cold as a result of his annoyance towards his patients. Regardless of that, Thornheart recieved his full name and was still honored for his skill in healing and his integrety.
Before Thornheart received his full name however, multiple tragedies struck not just their family, but SplashClan as a whole. Firstly, Jadezinnia died as a result of old age, causing Lightgale to deeply mourn for his lost mate. Only a few months after that many cats in SplashClan died as a result of eating poisoned fish from the river and his kits, Clovefreckle, Downface, and Algaefreckle were among the deceased. He was unable to pull himself together and Downface’s death caused him the most pain. She had such a bright future ahead of her and he had always imagined her someday becoming deputy and now she would be unable to achieve anything she had dreamed of. After their vigils, Lightgale returned to his nest and sobbed to the point his throat went raw. In the end, he was thankfully able to keep working even just a little bit and helped Thunderisle pick herself up from the grief she was experiencing over her son, Curlrise’s death.
In the following months, he decided that it might be best for him to move on from Jadezinnia. He didn’t want to linger on the past and his grief and decided that if he ever found it, he would accept love from someone else. In the end however, the opportunity for him to find a second love never came as only a few months later Lightgale was a casualty in the mass disappearance of many of SplashClan’s cats.

Detailed Biography
Winnie was born as a rogue but when she became six months old she was sent off on her own alongside her littermates however none of them stuck together. Thankfully for Winnie, shortly after she stumbled across the clans and decided to stick around as she hoped she would make friends. She was granted the name Weedpaw and was apprenticed to the warrior Lightspots. Initially, Weedpaw felt very underappreciated and insecure and felt as though she had no real companions even though she decided to become a clan cat in the first place for a sense of companionship. Three months into her training she was made a warrior by Gannetstar who named her Weedspeckle and honored her for her heart of gold.
As a warrior, she was compitent at her jobs, going out on patrol, guarding the camp, and helping reinforce the nursery with brambles. One day she went out on patrol with Brackenshade, Snapfern, and Thunderpaw and was caught in a twoleg trap that lay hidden in the sand of the beach. Frantically, she tried to escape but was taken away by twolegs before she was able to. Her time being in possession of the twolegs was terrifying but thankfully she was able to escape, running as far away as she could. Though she was able to get away from the twolegs she was left with a new problem, she was all alone and had no idea how to get home. It was then in her dreams when Mintshade came to her and gave her a message, "To find home you must follow the setting sun.'' Upon following the message, Weedspeckle stumbled across the ocean meaning that if she walked north she would eventually find SplashClan's camp! Weedspeckle returned to SplashClan a month after her capture, safe and sound.
Upon returning home, she reflected on her time away from SplashClan and realized what she really joined SplashClan for. She didn't care if she had friends, she joined SplashClan because she didn't want to be alone and here in the clans she would never be. Additionally, Weedspeckle's faith in StarClan grew a lot after she recieved a message from Mintshade and she became one of the more faithful cats in the clan. She grew closer to her former denmate, Thunderisle during this time and the two became very close friends and even developed some romantic feelings towards each other, though neither would act on this. At one point during winter, the two even started a snowball fight while guarding the camp entrance and by the end of it the entirety of SplashClan had joined in. It was times like these where she felt extra thankful to StarClan for helping her return home.
Weedspeckle was one of the many SplashClan cats who disliked Gannetstar. She hated her leadership but there was one decision she made that she agreed with, Brackenshade being elected deputy. Weedspeckle greatly appreciated Brackenshade and she found him to be a very kind and responsible guy. Not only that, but like many cats in the clan Weedspeckle had romantic feelings for him. While most cats who were crushing on Brackenshade did so becuase he was the attractive, strong deputy of the clan, Weedspeckle did so because she appreciated him for who he truly was. Brackenshade on the surface was a serious, tough tom-cat but on the inside he was soft and kind. He enjoyed telling terrible jokes and Weedspeckle seemed to always be the only one laughing at them and it got to the point that he would specifically tell jokes aimed at her. The two grew closer and he opened up about his own insecurities as deputy and she wished she could take all his burdens away. Eventually, Weedspeckle and Brackenshade told each other how they felt and became mates.
It was during this time when Weedspeckle had realized she hadn't recieved a single apprentice in her entire time as a warrior. Many cats in the clan had even gotten multiple at this point and yet Gannetstar continued to pass over her. She confronted Gannetstar about this and Brackenshade stepped in to deescilate the situation and promised her that she would get an apprentice the next possible chance they could. Brackenshade of course kept his promise and Weedspeckle became the mentor to Whitepaw, Thunderisle's adopted son, shortly after. She felt incredibly thankful to Brackenshade for what he had done for her Weedspeckle and Brackenshade spent the next few months getting to know each other until suddenly... he dissappeared. Thankfully he wasn't gone forever but he returned with another cat alongside him, a former kittypet he had found named Jumble who became a SplashClan warrior named Jumbledapple. Brackenshade explained to Weedspeckle that he was under so much pressure as deputy that he needed some time away and happened to come across Jumbledapple. Weedspeckle believed him but she was hurt, why hadn't he even told her he was leaving before he left?
She began to rethink her life. Were her and Brackenshade really meant to be? Her concerns grew and grew until one day she was swept out to sea by a tide. She was thankfully rescued by the patrol she was on but was stuck in the medicine den recovering for multiple months. Brackenshade came to visit her every single day and this made her realize how much he really cared for her. He apologized profusely for leaving and promised he'd do anything to make things better. Weedspeckle loved Brackenshade too much to refuse his apology and the two continued their relationship, just as happy as they had been before. Weedspeckle throughout it all was still jealous of Jumbledapple but she knew that she hadn't done anything wrong and kept her feelings to herself. Even though Weedspeckle had spent a good chunk of Whitepaw's training in the medicine den, he appreciated her as a mentor and had somehow picked up on her strong connection to StarClan. Whitestrike recieved his warrior name the same month that Weedspeckle had fully recovered from the water in her lungs. Though the two weren't very close, the two liked and respected aech other.
A while after this, Weedspeckle caught whitecough during an outbreak and as the months progressed her sickness only got worse. First becoming greencough, then becoming yellowcough. Thankfully though, she was able to fully recover. It wasn't long after her recovery when she recieved her second apprentice, Sparkpaw. Unlike her relationship with Whitestrike, she and Sparkpaw grew very fond of each other through his apprenticeship. Towards the end of Sparkpaw's apprenticeship she learned news that she couldn't have been more excited to hear. She and Brackenshade were expecing kits. She had decided fairly recently that she had wanted to have kittens and she could hardly believe that this was going to be a reality.
Sparkstep recieved his warrior name which allowed for Weedspeckle to head to the nursery to prepare for her litter. She felt so incredibly happy and Brackenshade of course shared this feeling. It was when Weedspeckle was 71 months old that her three kits were born and together with Brackenshade they named them Nutkit, Brokenkit, and Icekit. Raising her kits with Brackenshade allowed for Weedspeckle to feel a way she had never felt before, she felt so delighted by every little thing in life. Eventually Nutpaw, Brokenpaw, and Icepaw were apprenticed however it was only three months after that when something bizarre happened. Weedspeckle alongside a large portion of the cats of SplashClan disappeared one night without a trace. Weedspeckle ended up in StarClan afterward but to this day it's a mystery as to what happened.

Originally Weedspeckle was planned to have been the one to take down Gannetstar or succeed her as leader due to her thinking she was part of a prophecy. In the end however, I interpreted this as her being given a prophecy by Mintshade that allowed her to return back to SplashClan after she had been taken away by twolegs
i just had my wisdom teeth removed earlier and i wanna doodle a bit while i’m recovering (mostly so i don’t get too rusty + i’m in the mood to draw some clangen kitties hehe)
so feel free to send in some character + expression requests through my ask box!
i honestly wouldn’t even mind doing some future characters that haven’t even been born yet as of the youtube speedpaints either- so i’m open to anyone
and maybe even some funky requests like characters that aren’t in the game? (like tornrun, icywhisker, and jellyfishspeckle’s dad) or some human designs? or whatever other random things y’all can think of, i’m down for whatever!
expressions meme is by magicalpouch over on twitter!
more info below, potential spoiler warning! I use these character bios as a way to keep track of my SplashClan game which means that all the information is up to date with the current in-game events, not where I left off with the youtube series
Gannet was a rogue who was taken in and raised by an older cat named Mint after the death of her mother. They both decided to join the clans and Gannettalon was later chosen to become the leader of SplashClan, thanks to Mintshade’s guidance and teachings of self-preservation above all else. Leadership proved to be a challenging task for Gannetstar which led them into feeling lost.
To prove themselves, she became involved with a long-lasting conflict with HazeClan. The loss of her children, strained relationships with their clanmates, and pursuit of power took a toll on not just Gannetstar’s leadership, but their mind. Gannetstar’s time as leader was marked by war, the deaths of her family, the mistreatment of their own apprentices, and their own transformation into a ruthless and manipulative leader. Gannetstar ultimately died and joined the dark forest to scheme against the clans.

Gannet was born as a rogue but doesn’t remember much from her early life, though they’re unsure if that’s because of how young she was of if she had unknowingly blocked the traumatic memories out. When Gannet was only a few months old, her mother died, leaving her all alone. She nearly died of starvation before she was found and rescued by an older rogue named Mint. Mint took her in and from then on raised them as if she was her own kit. Throughout Gannet’s life, Mint trained them to survive just as she had under the philosophy that “no other cats matter, protect yourself and only yourself.”
Years later, after Gannet had already grown up, the two continued to live together for protection. Though they were better off together, things still weren’t perfect and winters were always harsh. During one winter they discovered the clan cats and decided to stick around for protection and easier food. As time passed they relalized that there was a clear leader for each of the four clans except for one, SplashClan. Mint and Gannet decided to step up, deciding to permanently join the clans as Mintshade and Gannettalon in hopes that they could take leadership of SplashClan themselves. Eventually, Mintshade’s age got the better of her and she stepped down to become an elder, advising Gannettalon from the side in order to have the best chance to become leader.
Eventually, the BloodClan-affiliated rogues were chased out and with Rootmask’s dying words he chose the new leaders of the four clans; Tawnystar of DeadClan, Curlstar of HeatherClan, Amberstar of HazeClan, and Gannetstar of SplashClan. Gannetstar went on to receive her nine lives, one of which being from Mintshade herself for “leadership through the darkest times.” They later elected Brackenshade as their deputy as he was a young but fierce and abrasive cat who would grant her the approval of her clanmates. He was also picked with a darker motive in mind, at the time he was the youngest warrior in the clan and clearly respected Gannetstar's judgement and authority as leader, meaning he wouldn't oppose her. Desperate for more approval from their clanmates, Gannetstar gave themselves an apprentice so she could appear as a responsible, rule-following leader. Sagepaw was the apprentice she chose but they didn’t do much work in training him aside from what was required of her due to her lack of care and how overwhelmed they were as leader initially.
Gannetstar had only gotten where she was because of Mintshade’s guidance and without her, they felt as though they had no idea what they were doing. Many times they tried to reach out to StarClan to talk to Mintshade but she was cut off from StarClan due to them disaproving of her as leader. Gannetstar questioned her ability to lead the clan and needed something to prove her worth not only to her clanmates, but to herself. This eventually came in the long-running conflict between SplashClan and HazeClan. It started out small, as nothing more than a prey and border dispute but Amberstar’s anger towards the situation frustrated Gannetstar. She couldn’t understand the HazeClan leader’s anger and she felt the urge to take the situation into their own paws, killing Amberstar herself. Of course, this never ended up happening as she was too desperate to prove herself and gain the approval of her clan.
Thunderisle and her own apprentice, Sagepeak were made warriors however later this same month he died while out on patrol and ultimately Gannetstar never realized how much he wanted her to notice him. It was during this time when they met Striker, a rogue who had belonged to one of the BloodClan-affiliated rogue groups that had been occupying the clan territories before. She fell in love with Striker and the two began to secretly meet at SplashClan’s border. As time passed between them however, Gannetstar grew continuously bored of Striker as she found something more entertaining. In their dreams, Gannetstar began to visit the dark forest and would continue to train there throughout her life.
In the end, Gannetstar found out they were expecting kits and cut off her relationship with Striker, abandoning him and telling him to never come back. Though she was excited to have kits, they didn’t like the idea of having to care for them for very long, hoping she could apprentice them at four months instead of six. Thankfully though, Brackenshade told her not to do that. Eventually, Gannetstar’s three kits were born, Tornkit, Icykit, and Jellyfishkit. She loved her kits but it was clear from the beginning that they were going to pick favorites. She spent more time with Jellyfishkit than the others and this did not go unnoticed by Tornkit and Icykit.
Eventually, Gannetstar’s kits are apprenticed and she was able to leave the nursery but they were back to feeling terrible about leadership. She had been trained her entire life to only care about herself, to only put effort into making sure that she survives, and now she was alone in leading an entire clan of cats. She made her kits warriors way earlier than she should have and only two months later she learned terrible news. One day, her daughter, Jellyfishspeckle went on patrol but didn’t return. Jellyfishspeckle had been taken away by twolegs. Gannetstar, after having already been under a lot of stress, broke down as a result of their daughter being taken away. They encouraged fights on border patrols and even began picking fights with cats from her own clan. Lightspots at one point stepped up to confront her about this and she took to physically punishing him with the help of Snapfern, a cat who’s allegiance to not only SplashClan, but herself, she was questioning. The three cats were left injured by the fight but in the end Gannetstar felt as though they could trust Snapfern more.
Gannetstar began to feel as if they were going crazy and she began to feel numb with pain, both from the loss of Jellyfishspeckle and her tail injury. Over the next few months she failed to recover, struggling to fight off the infection in their wound and this only worstened when her other daughter, Icywhisker, died as well. Though she recovered from her injury shortly afterward, she could harldy react to her daughter’s death due to her numbness. Months later, Gannetstar even repeated what she had done to Lightspots to Clovefreckle after he similarly spoke out against them, though thankfully it wasn’t as harsh. Gannetstar’s trust in their clanmates began to dwindle and she soon sought out Snapfern to spy on the cats of SplashClan for her. Eventually, her trust in Snapfern became so great that she confessed to Snapfern about their own romantic feelings towards her. Snapfern agreed, sharing Gannetstar’s feelings and the two became mates.
Over the next few months, things between SplashClan and HazeClan became worse and worse and Gannetstar even began to ask the other clans to form an alliance but in the end, neither HeatherClan or DeadClan were willing to help. As tensions rose things only became worse for Gannetstar with the death of her son, Tornrun. Though she didn’t play favorites with Tornrun, preferring Jellyfishspeckle, Tornrun had been the only one of her kits that still remained in SplashClan. It was only a few months after this when finally, Jellyfishspeckle returned to SplashClan. Though Gannetstar should’ve been happy, they weren’t the same cat they were when Jellyfishspeckle had been taken away and apart of them began to blame their daughter for abandoning their clan in a time of need and felt as though she was cursed, somehow causing the deaths of Icywhisker and Tornrun just as she left the clan and returned. The pain of Tornrun’s death and Jellyfishspeckle’s return finally caused Gannetstar to break and officially declare war on HazeClan. The war lasted seven months and four cats died however SplashClan was the clear loser of the war. Ever since Gannetstar had been leader, they had been searching for the perfect opportunity to prove her worth as leader and in the end they failed, they failed terribly.
During the war, Gannetstar decided to distract themselves by taking on their second apprentice, choosing the kit, Quietpaw for that position. Gannetstar was a bit more involved with Quietpaw’s training than she was with Sagepeak's since this time she had willingly taken him as an apprentice, but things ended up just as badly. Under Gannetstar’s training, Quietpaw was trained to exhaustion every single day and was hardly recognizable as his former self not long after becoming an apprentice. Similarly to Sagepeak, Quietpaw wanted to make Gannetstar proud of him and he would do anything to make that happen. At one point after the war had ended, a bunch of HazeClan apprentices began to bully Quietpaw from across the border. She encouraged Quietpaw to fight back, even if he was clearly outnumbered. Quietpaw made it out of this encounter, but was mildly hurt and Gannetstar praised him for this. Quietpaw’s apprenticeship came to a sudden end in leafbare. He was so painfully hungry from there being a lack of prey that he attemted to calm his hunger by eating some red berries he found, these ended up being death berries. Though Quietpaw died, Gannetstar didn’t seem to care much.
Before Quietpaw had died, her and Snapfern’s son, Patchoulitkit was born. When Gannetstar wasn’t too busy training Quietpaw, they would spend time with Snapfern as she was the only one who they felt could bring them comfort. As a result, Patchoulikit didn’t get to spend a lot of time with his parents and began to look up to and chase after Gannetstar for their attention. Gannetstar decided to mentor their son herself. Though the clan spoke out against this, Gannetstar didn’t care. They spent the most time and care training Patchoulipaw compared to Sagepeak and Quietpaw, influencing him to use violence over words and to make impulsive decisions. Just like she did with her previous kits, she made him a warrior early, granting him the name Patchouliprickle. He took after Gannetstar’s bloodthirsty nature but died too quick to acomplish anything.
Patchouliprickle, Snapfern, and many other SplashClan cats disappeared into the night and wound up in StarClan, their cause of death unknown. Gannetstar was left devistated and broken by their loss. Only three months after this, Gannetstar lost her very first life to an injury they had recieved months prior from a dog attack. Shortly after, she decided to move on from Snapfern but in the end they never took another mate. Throughout the rest of their life, Gannetstar seemed to become more and more lost in their own mind and their previously shown agitation and aggression towards others, even in their own clan, grew and grew. She later lost her second life to a venomous snake bite before slowly beginning to lose her remaining seven lives to old age throughout the 93rd month of SplashClan’s existence. As they lay dying, Gannetstar laughed in her deputy, Lightspot’s face and told him-
“Hah! I’m glad you of all cats are becoming the next leader. There isn’t another fool alive who i’d be more willing to see cursed with the role of leader.”
Gannetstar, having already entered the Dark Forest in their life, was brought there in death and realized that she would’ve been able to influence the cats below. She began to scheme and soon figured out her plan. If they turned the young cats against the clans, she could turn them to her side, destroying SplashClan in the process and proving that all along the idea of ‘clans’ were cursed to fail. Ever since their death, they’ve reached out to many of SplashClan’s younger cats and brought them to train in the Dark Forest, some even becoming loyal to her already.
Fun Facts
Gannetflight was named after Gannetstar by her mother, Emberfreckle who's one of the most involved and loyal dark forest trainees.
Gannetstar's original in-game warrior name was Gannethorse but this was changed to Gannettalon later on since it made more sense and wasn't as goofy
Their favorite food is frog but they also liked rabbit and shrews
Their character song is Ain’t It Fun by Paramore
Gannetstar’s voice claim is Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil: Village (voiced by Maggie Robertson)
Dark Forest Events
The first cat Gannetstar influenced to begin training in the dark forest as Sparkstep. They contacted him in his dream only a month after she had died.
Gannetstar feels regret for some of their actions, though it's unclear which ones
Gannetstar considered walking in Old Deuteronomyplume's dreams but decided against it, realizing they wouldn't have accepted her proposal to train
From the dark forest, Gannetstar never contacted Lightstar but always kept an eye on him, smiling slyly how much he likely hated being leader at such an old age and how it was herself who put him there
They considered bringing Brackenshade's son, Brightsnap into the dark forest but decided against it, knowing Brackenshade had likely taught him too many negative things about Gannetstar to want to accept
Gannetstar indirectly killed Brightsnap, Rippletuft, Littlebat, and Sardinefuzz. She had instructed some of the HeatherClan dark forest trainnes to attack them on patrol in order to specifically kill Sardinefuzz, the current deputy of SplashClan so Emberfreckle, a prominent dark forest trainee could potentially be chosen as his replacement.
Gannetstar feels distain and malice towards Hailtorrent, a high ranking dark forest trainee from SplashClan becuase they believes that he has the capability to turn against her and completely destroy her plans
Throughout Snailshell's apprenticeship, Gannetstar continued to whisper in his ear as they couldn't fully walk in his dreams due to his connection to StarClan. In the end thankfully, he was able to block Gannetstar out.
Mudember, Emberfreckle's son was one of the cats Gannetstar had an eye on birth but in the end it's likely she was never able to contact him due to his stronger than average connection to StarClan.
Gannetstar had their eyes on Brackenshade's son, Laurelstep from kithood but it's unclear if he was ever reached out to
once again i couldn't help myself and did all the suggestions (these are just too fun 😭)
suggestions from @/wizardgirl25
i decided on tornrun for the last one because i ADORE him and i think this is probably a good representation of his experience in the clan as he got older and realized how sucky his mom was as a leader asdkljfkl
