Rain Catcher

DiamondClan's founders, who embarked on a great journey from a faraway place (the Great Lakes area) to the abandoned gemplace (in central WA), following Weststar's light and StarClan's guidance. Basically journey to the west but cat. Also Diamond Seeker was a purebred Persian show cat before receiving the sign from StarClan

Also bonus: Aspen Leaf meets another cat with a strong StarClan connection, Shadowed Grove (this guy)

And their encounter later ends up with Aspen Leaf pregnant, which of course causes him a lot of grief like "No!!! I'm a healer! I've devoted my entire life to StarClan! Why did I fall for Shadowed Grove?? I can't have kits!!" and later after he has his kits StarClan just tells him "it literally does not matter" and so after they find the abandoned gemplace and make DiamondClan, Aspen Leaf takes Boar Tusk as his mate and has kits with him

And full version of art from here. My Prophet Thalassa from Enderal. Language of flowers: 1. Aspen -  excess of sensibility, fear, groan, lamentation; 2. Hemlok - you will be my death. You can read more about her here, if you want. c:
