Cinderclaw, ThunderClan warrior in the Boon AU. Aka AU Cinderpelt.

In canon, Tigerclaw sets a trap for Bluestar near the Thunderpath, hoping to kill her there. Cinderpaw falls into that trap and is hit by a car, leaving her without the use of her hind leg. She would go on to be the ThunderClan medicine cat Cinderpelt. Additionally, it is implied that Cinderkit and her siblings Thornkit, Brackenkit, and Brightkit were the ones taken by ShadowClan in the very first book, but there are a lot of continuity errors.

In the Boon AU, Cinderkit and Brackenkit are born as a litter to Frostfur, who then immediately gets pregnant again with Thornkit and Brightkit (as well as an unnamed gray kit I've been calling Emberkit.) Because Cinder and Bracken were still kits when their siblings were born, they were closer than most separated littermates, and many even considered all five littermates. Thornkit, Brightkit, and Emberkit were among the kits taken by ShadowClan, while Brackenkit and Cinderkit were older and left behind. They were overjoyed when their siblings were returned. (Emberkit likely died of illness the following winter. I am still doing continuity research.)

Tigerclaw's early exile meant Cinderpaw never ventured near the Thunderpath. Her mentor was Dustpelt, while her brother Brackenpaw was mentored by Goldenflower. She trained hard, but when it came time for her to earn her warrior name, Bluestar was in the midst of her distrust-arc - she trusted no one in the Clan, was mad at StarClan, and refused to give names to any of the apprentices. Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw took this in stride, but it was difficult. Eventually Redtail simply asked her and Brackenpaw to join the warrior's dens without their names, which is what prompted Swiftpaw and Brightpaw to try to prove themselves to Bluestar (which ended badly.)

When Bluestar was killed and Redstar became leader, he righted the wrong and gave Cinderpaw, Brackenpaw, Thornpaw and Brightpaw their warrior names - as well as giving Swiftpaw a posthumous name. Cinderpaw's warrior name was Cinderclaw.

Later in life, when elderly Goldenflower succeeded Redstar, Goldenstar named Cinderclaw her deputy. Cinderclaw would be a pillar of leadership until Goldenstar's death, when she succeeded her as the leader Cinderstar.

Note: Any events after The Prophecies Begin are subject to change as I tweak my Boon AU ideas, but I am quite attached to the idea of leader Cinderstar. <3

CINDERCLAW - NightClan Kinfolk

Player: @bluescatcorner

Name: Cinderclaw

Gender: Male; Can Sire kits

Age: 14 moons

Clan: NightClan

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Description:     

 Solid gray tom with burning orange eyes, thick long fur, and a large size.

Personality:  

Cinder is very mature for his age because of his tough upbringing, but of course he still lacks the experience of age. Because of this, he’s always eager to learn and still constantly training himself. He’s calm and collected and steady under pressure and quite patient. He tries to be strategic in everything and is clever enough to pick up on when to be diplomatic and when to rely on cunning or force. His level head controls his hot temper. He’s courageous and not easily daunted or intimidated, but isn’t a reckless risk-taker either. He’s a bit enigmatic; it’s hard to tell what he’s really thinking at any time, and he always seems a bit dryly amused by the world around him, or gently serious hiding a steely threat. He’s not very trusting outside of his circle, but tries not to let on. He’s curious about new things, and has no lack of confidence in speaking to new cats. He truly believes he’s a full grown cat and does everything he can to show it. He inwardly disparages childish behavior and doesn’t tolerate fools gladly. Though he’s definitely capable of being ruthless to survive, he’s not needlessly cruel and never thinks of force as the only option to solving problems. He is fiercely determined once he has his mind set on something and inwardly has a terror of being wrong and failing.

Cinder

Allegiance: Snake's Head

Occupation: Soldier's Apprentice

Parents: Hydrastripe

The only apprentice in Snake's Head (until Primrose arrived), Cinder is about to graduate from apprenticeship and reside in the currently empty soldier's quarters. Where other apprentices still goof off and pretend the chaos of the humans' assault hasn't bothered them, Cinder has embraced adulthood and does whatever he needs to help his city with quiet stoicism.

Hydrastripe tries to get him to lighten up, but Cinder is exceptionally focused on his work. What he really needs is a hobby, according to his mother. Truth is, Cinder doesn't really know what he likes to do outside of his duties. He should know by now… is something wrong?

I also aspire to be a judge! how is your road to L1 going?

It’s a bit of a slog, if I’m honest - but it’s a great one. By this point I’ve identified the problem areas and am working to make them less problematic (and they are priority/APNAP and state based actions.)I’ve also gotten to get to know all the judges in the local area so I’ve been thankful there’s been great support.
