I made a “New Arrivals” wall in my listening chamber so I can keep track of the fresh vinyl as it comes in.

PantherClan Cats - Blackbreath

I am going to make a series of posts about the cats from my fanclan I had as a kid. This is completely for my own amusement so if you want to blacklist these posts you can blacklist the tag "pantherclan" . I will put this one under a readmore (and probably all of them) since I don't know how long it will be. Most of this will be kept the same as I remember but I will be tweaking it a bit as I see fit

Blackbreath - large black she cat with green eyes, small ears, long muzzle, and shorter than average tail

(PantherClan is made up of my plush cat collection. Blackbreath is actually a panther plush)

Blackbreath was born in ShadowClan and trained as a medicine cat sometime after the canon series (the newest book at this point was probably Eclipse so anything past that wasnt taken into account). She has a unique power to heal any wound using a wispy black smoke that she is able to exhale (thus her name). She can even heal her own wounds this way. However, her power deteriorates as she ages and healing her own wounds takes longer and longer. At one time she had an eye injury and was blind in one eye for several moons, but it did eventually heal. (I had some tape over one eye but it kept falling off so eventually I gave up and said it healed lol). She eventually died in a natural disaster, I don't remember if it was a flood or a rock fall. She also has a strong connection to StarClan which leads to another supernatural phenomenon I will explain later.

She is a grumpy but passionate cat. I think her personality might have been based off of Yellowfang (intentionally or not, I don't remember).

She trained a medicine cat apprentice, Amberears. At some point, she had kits with a kittypet named Snowball. The evil leader of ShadowClan, Wolfstar, banished her for this once her kits were weaned. Her son Stripekit ran away after this but her daughter Nightkit stayed. Her nephew Tigerpaw also ended up leaving ShadowClan.

After leaving ShadowClan, she eventually meets up with Tigerpaw (now Tiger) and learns that Stripekit disappeared from ShadowClan, and her daughter Nightpaw was apprenticed to Wolfstar and treated very poorly, culminating in Nightpaw being banished at a gathering. It is unlikely that either of them survived. Stricken with grief, she gets to work trying to contact them. At this point she and Snowball are no longer mates but are still friendly. He does not want to leave his housefolk, and life as a kittypet does not appeal to her.

She and Tiger eventually meet a blind gray tabby loner living on his own but doing very poorly. They offer to let him stay with them and he begrudgingly accepts. He has no name, and Blackbreath names him Jaywhisker, reminiscent of a great blind medicine cat she had heard legends about, Jayfeather. (As a kid I did just called him Jayfeather, but I've decided now to give him a unique name). She trains him as a medicine cat.

I dont remember how exactly, but Blackbreath manages to open a portal to StarClan with the intention of bringing her kits back to life. She manages to find Nightpaw, but Stripekit is nowhere to be found. Since the portal is open longer than intended, more cats end up being resurrected than she intended.

All of these resurrected cats are aged up 6 moons from when they died, but no longer age and still faintly sparkle in the moonlight as StarClan cats do. These resurrected cats are still susceptible to injury, disease, starvation, etc. (I was like 9 or 10 ok? Don't ask questions). She gathers all of the resurrected cats and it is now that their are enough of them to be a clan. However, there is no official leader at this point, with Blackbreath still sort of leading the group despite only considering herself a medicine cat. Some of these cats (especially Tiger) are hesitant to live in a true clan anyway since their previous ones failed them.

As time passes a few more loners and kittypets join the group. Another group of cats about a days journey away form a similar group (aka my friend's stuffed cats) and they occasionally hold gatherings (we have sleepovers and bring our plushes).

Jaywhisker wants to take Moongaze, another cat from his own clan, as his mate, but Blackbreath refuses to allow this. She tells him that medicine cats are forbidden from having mates and it will only lead to ruin, remembering her own experience and irrationally projecting. Jaywhisker thinks this is ridiculous, as this isn't even a real clan. He, Moongaze, and a few other cats (some of which are from the other group) run away together to some mountains. However, from here they can see that their old territory is beginning to flood. They return to help, but Blackbreath is injured in a rock fall. At this point, her powers are almost completely deteriorated and she is unable to heal herself. She apologizes to Jaywhisker and Moongaze and makes peace with them before she dies. Jaywhisker, Moongaze, and the others decide to return to their respective clans.

After her death, the clan she founded is named PantherClan after Blackbreath's panther like appearance to honor her.

If you wake up breathing today say. Aché. Amen. Namasté. And so it is. 🌪🌊⚖️⚔️🛠⚙️⛏🔧🔨⛓ Sis you stay doing your thing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 re-posted • @yasminhernandezart As I sit here waiting with this mask on while my momma is at the dentist, I meditate on the hundreds of thousands of brave souls around the world breathing through masks while #marching for miles, #protesting, lifting and honoring the #sanctity of a #blackbreath . Amazing. Lets meditate on that to ease the pain of how today, in 2020, there are still so-called humans who do NOT believe in the sanctity of a black breath. I'm focusing on #justice for black breaths stolen. I'm focusing on the #firstbreaths of beautiful black babies born to mothers risking disparities of #birthingwhileblack because racism doesnt value all lives. I'm focusing on how the earth prepared #humanity for focusing on the sanctity of breath with her forests burning. With a pandemic that affects respiration. I'm focusing on how the lungs are part of the #heartchakra and how humanity still has a long way to travel to truly know #love .
