Frostpelt and Pikeleap watch the sun rise.

Moon 79:

Swallowpaw -> Swallowshade (Traits: Lonesome, Renowned Hunter, & Good Mediator). She could have been called Swallowwhisker or Swallowflight

I managed to find a small bit of art motivation and drew Saviour from @this-clan-does-not-exist

My little guy (Eldritch Horror, Eats Cats)

So Saviour, you are one of the two drawings I have in my sketchbook. I did the outline in your favorite color!

[serpentwavessubmission]

"Talking to Eclipseshadow is like talking to a brick wall, it's not worth it if I were you."

"You are not worth my time, now leave me alone."

--

A piece I've probably paid the most attention to detail with! More about Eclipseshadow under "Keep Reading!"

Eclipseshadow, born just Eclipse to rogue parents, was abandoned at a young age to an elderly tom and his young granddaughter. His upbringing is a.. blurry one. Perhaps it's better left to another post. Upon becoming apprenticed age, he was wandering woods upon fields alone. No one was left to care for him, he was on his own now... Until he stumbles across a group of cats, lead by this intimidating tom named Bushstar. This cat, a leader, offers to home the young Eclipse, as long as he swore loyalty to his clan, ClawClan. Eclipse agrees, and is renamed Eclipsepaw. But this only lasts for so long, until Eclipsepaw is now young warrior age, named Eclipseshadow. He finds himself becoming disillusioned with Bushstar, becoming nothing but a tool to the leader. Eclipseshadow wasn't your normal warrior, he was powerful, far more powerful than one could explain. It's like there's something divine on his side... But who's to say, really? An uprising occurs, causing many to flee the clan into exile, including Eclipseshadow and his now found friend, the sly she-cat Batstone. Now finding themselves wandering again, they come across another clan, one much more established, with a leader who seems to be more... kind. They are welcomed to FieldClan. More to come soon! If you can't tell, this is Shadow the Hedgehog! Here's a rough Eclipseshadow ref sheet until I make a more polished one!

ClawClan - Year 5 Recap

Moon 49:

Sorrelstar's kit is here, sired by Snakeblaze. Snakeblaze briefly and awkwardly comes to see the kit, but is quickly shoo'd away. Sorrelstar names the kit Adderkit.

Silverwhisker accidently lets it slip that they had a dream from StarClan last night. Brightdawn pretends to be concerned and pulls them aside to talk about it. Brightdawn makes notes in her head about the details. Silverwhisker is well aware Brightdawn wants them dead.

Moon 50:

Aspenshade comes down with whitecough.

Rosemaryclaw is trying to find a way to tell Nettleshade to stop giving her gifts, because her nest can't fit anymore (stop thats so cute)

Moon 51:

Because she's bored I guess Sorrelstar makes Silverwhisker hurt Fawnflower. (Please bestie she's gone through enough.) Fawnflower has had enough of the abuse and makes her escape in the night.

Moon 52:

Yippee Snowstorm is finally home! Sorrelstar and Aspenshade are thrilled.

Frostkit -> Frostpaw (Mentor, Brightdawn. Traits: Insecure and Picky Nest Builder)

On their first patrol Brightdawn and Frostpaw bring home a successful haul of prey.

Moon 53:

Sorrelstar and Brightdawn watch gleefully as Silverwhisker takes their last shuddering breath. Thank StarClan that nuisance is out of the way.

Moon 54:

Aspenshade hides the fact that she is struggling with hearing loss. She can't show any weakness. She won't. She easily beats Thistlefur in a spar.

Brightdawn is finding Frostpaw annoying. She asks Sorrelstar if she can just kill him. Sorrelstar rolls her eyes and says that she needs him for her leadership to be "legitimate."

Moon 55:

Aspenshade comes down with whitecough again.

Adderkit -> Adderpaw (Mentor: Snowstorm. Traits: Responsible, Never Sits Still)

On Snowstorm and Adderpaw's first patrol, they find a wounded cat on the Thunderpath. Sorrelstar rolls her eyes as her son grovels for them to help. Snowstorm points out that they don't have a healer, so there's no resources to waste. Begrudgingly, she renames the molly Thriftpelt (Traits: Nervous, Camp Keeper & Helpful Insight) and shoves her into the healers den. Out of sight, out of mind.

Moon 56:

Snowstorm informs Sorrelstar a clanmates was talking bad about her. Sorrelstar snaps she doesn't have time for petty rumors.

Snowstorm is mad and yells at Aspenshade. She later apologizes.

Adderpaw was supposed to watch for Brightdawn so Frostpaw could sneak a snack, but Adderpaw got distracted by a bug and Frostpaw was caught and punished.

Moon 57:

Rosemaryclaw and Snowstorm defend their clan culture at a gathering. The two become a little closer due to their shared loyalty.

Snowstorm makes fun of Adderpaw for scaring away his prey.

Moon 58:

Snakeblaze tells Nettleshade that he thinks they need to have a one-on-one chat. Nettleshade agrees and the two head to the Thunderpath. Snakeblaze shows no emotion as he shoves her into the path of an oncoming monster.

Sorrelstar hisses in anger as she loses another life. She has 5 left.

In her anger, she forces Thistlefur to retire. (Apparently he has one bad eye?? Which he literally has only had this moon?? Sorrelstar man...)

Frostpaw -> Frostpelt (Traits: Insecure & Camp Keeper)

Moon 59:

Sorrelstar sort of kind of pressures Rosemaryclaw to become mates.

Snowstorm gets a look on her face when Snakeblaze approaches her. She's been suspicious of Nettleshade's death.

Sorrelstar, Brightdawn, and Snakeblaze sunbathe and talk about clan affairs.

Thistlefur complains to Weaselstorm about being forced to retire. Weaselstorm thinks he's being overdramatic.

Moon 60:

Adderpaw -> Adderdusk (Traits: Strange, Valuable Insight & Fast Runner) (Honestly, he should have been named Adderwing or Adderfoot/nose but Sorrelstar expects Brightdawn to pick him as deputy to keep the line of succession.)

While on patrol with Sorrelstar and Thriftpelt, a branch falls onto Aspenshade. Sorrelstar hisses she knows about her hearing issues, did she think she was dense? Sorrelstar makes Thriftpelt leave and leaves Aspenshade to die.

Some murder, some not so murder, what more can a guy ask for? I'm sad I really liked Silverwhisker and Aspenshade. Weaselstorm fits his name well he's a slimly little prick LOL

[asinglestrike]

Allegiances fully updated for all four clans! ClawClan is tiny compared to all the other clans, and yet they are by far the most aggressive oof.

Moon 37:

Despite being forbidden herbs, Fawnflower recovers from yellowcough.

Aspenpaw and Boulderleaf collect herbs, having a quiet moment together.

Moon 38:

Rosemaryclaw finds a more "suitable" mate in Nettleshade. Sorrelstar purrs her approval.

Nettleshade trips and sprains her paw.

Moon 39:

Sorrelstar loses another life due to her claw-wound. Although weakened, she snarls at Boulderleaf's incompetence.

Thistlepaw -> Thistlefur (Traits: Insecure, Dream Walker). Sorrelstar glowers that of course he's ready to be a warrior, she would never do anything to harm him. He curses the way his voice trembles as he takes his vow.

Aspenpaw -> Aspenshade (Traits: Lonesome, Good Swimmer & Good Fighter). Snowstorm's claws slide out with excitement. Despite initially agreeing to mentor Aspenshade to intimidate Boulderleaf, Snowstorm found she was very easily able to mold her into a bloodthirsty warrior like herself. She reports to Sorrelstar that if she absolutely has to kill one of the kits, kill the boy.

Nettleshade, Silverwhisker, and Thistlefur go on patrol. Silverwhisker collapses. Is it due to heat...or pressure...?

Moon 40:

Silverwhisker recovers. Boulderleaf pleads them to stop being reckless. She doesn't want to see another kit die. Silverwhisker promises to keep their head low.

Snowstorm walks with a limp due to over-exhortation

Brightpaw -> Brightdawn (Traits: Charismatic, Great Storyteller & Good Swimmer). Sorrelstar proudly makes Rosemaryclaw retire and names Brightdawn deputy, promising her the next kit as her apprentice. Most of the clan agree with this choice or are too afraid to say anything.

Moon 41:

Fawnflower and Nettleshade are punished for talking to a rouge.

In the same moment, Brightdawn returns with a loner named Weasel. Sorrelstar of course allows him to join on her new deputy's suggestion. He is renamed to Weaselstorm. (Traits: Grumpy, Good Storyteller & Lore Keeper.)

Moon 42:

Brightdawn has gotten greencough. Sorrelstar pins Boulderleaf down and hisses in her ear that if her daughter dies she will make her watch as she slaughters her whole family.

Moon 43:

Boulderleaf skips out on sleeping and eating to do everything she can to make sure Brightdawn gets better, and she does. Brightwhisker hardly thanks her before leaving the den to sort out patrols.

Rosemaryclaw and Silverwhisker have a quiet chat about the clan and where it's going. Silverwhisker tells Rosemaryclaw what Boulderleaf said to them, and Rosemaryclaw agrees. Silverwhisker gifts her petals, in case...in case something were to happen to them.

Silverwhisker then goes missing for most of the morning, but they are back by midday.

Aspenshade eats prey on patrol, but she's in the good graces of Snowstorm, so Snowstorm quietly looks away.

Moon 44:

Boulderleaf is found stiff in her nest, with claw wounds down her sides. No one questions her death, and Snakeblaze and Rosemaryclaw quietly bury her. Silverwhisker and Thistlefur visit the grave later. Aspenshade doesn't care.

Brightdawn reveals she had a vision from StarClan, where she saw a silver cat standing on a rock, with fire blazing behind them. She vows to keep an eye on Silverwhisker. Nothing is going to stop her from her destiny.

Moon 45:

While on patrol with Silverwhisker and Snowstorm, Brightdawn spies a badger sett. She stiffly orders Silverwhisker to go check it, and they just barely scramble out in time to avoid the badgers claws. The three of them take it down, but Silverwhisker is left shaken. They know that Brightdawn did that on purpose, but Silverwhisker hasn't done anything to threaten them. Silverwhisker decides to try and stay clear of Brightdawn for now.

Moon 46:

Nettleshade and Rosemaryclaw find an abandoned kitten in the snow. Sorrelstar allows the kitten, now named Frostkit, into the clan as Brightdawn's future apprentice.

Moon 47:

They fail to find Snowstorm due to the blizzard.

Sorrelstar tells Brightdawn that she needs an heir in case anything were to happen to her precious daughter. She tells her she's pregnant.

Due to the bad storm, Aspenshade and Nettleshade contract whitecough.

Moon 48:

Bluepaw, a little healer apprentice from StrikeClan, comes and boldly asks for herbs. Brightdawn mocks him and literally carries him out of camp.

Sorrelstar hopes for a small litter again. Maybe two brats at the most. She just needs a spare.

Pour one out for Boulderleaf, everyone. I was almost hoping Brightdawn would die for the drama but alas the girlboss is alive.

Am I setting up for Silverwhisker to rebel? Maybe. Do I want Silverstar? Maybe. You'll never catch me.

[asinglestrike]

ClawClan - Year 3 Recap

Moon 25:

Sorrelstar leaves camp for a few days and comes back pregnant. If no one will give her a suitable heir, then she'll do it herself.

Boulderleaf, Willowspots, and Snowstorm all recover from whitecough.

Moon 26:

Sorrelstar hopes for a small litter. The less brats, the better.

Fawnflower trips while bringing fresh kill to Russetclaw. Snowstorm innocently looks away.

Moon 27:

Sorrelstar snarls and lashes her tail, clawing at Boulderleaf as she spasms in her nest. It's a long labor that lasts through the night, but at the end, she has one little girl, who she names Brightkit, after her bright future. Her former deputy Russulaclaw offers to act as a father figure, which she accepts.

Rosemaryclaw and Boulderleaf are looking for lavender, when they stumble across two abandoned kits, whom they adopt and name Thistlekit and Aspenkit.

Moon 28:

Boulderleaf is caught sharing prey with a rouge. Sorrelstar warns her one more mistake, and she will kill Aspenkit. Boulderleaf trembles and proclaims her loyalty and asks for forgiveness. Sorrelstar hisses that she's lucky ClawClan need a healer, or she'd be long dead.

Meanwhile, Aspenkit and Brightkit are become quick friends, much to Boulderleaf's dismay.

Moon 29:

Still reeling from Sorrelstar's threat, Boulderleaf confesses her worries to the other healers at the half-moon meeting. Horrified, they offer to come help with some of her duties. Boulderleaf cries that they can't, Sorrelstar would never allow it. Emberpaw of RiftClan offers to sneak herbs. Boulderleaf thanks her and accepts.

Moon 30:

Silverwhisker has gotten whitecough. Thanks to Emberpaw, Boulderleaf has plenty of catmint.

Sorrelstar and Snowstorm are seen talking while throwing glances at Brightkit. Boulderleaf has a sinking feeling in her stomach.

Thistlekit gets a weird look on his face when Brightkit approached him. Brightkit and Aspenkit often exclude him, so he was confused as to why she would even speak to him. She purrs sweetly that he's stinky and runs away.

Moon 31:

Thistlekit, wanting to make Brightkit and Aspenkit notice him, sneaks out of camp but falls into a river. Sorrelstar watches for a bit before begrudgingly saving him. He squeaks that she's his hero, and that she's so cool! Sorrelstar rolls her eyes and crudely carries him back to camp, sweetly telling Boulderleaf that she should be more careful, lest something happen to her sweet little kittens.

Moon 32:

Russulaclaw finally announces to the whole clan that he had been responsible for Deerpaw's murder., which Sorrelstar already knew. He angrily yells that she deserved it, for still having loner blood in her veins. Fawnflower is devastated, as she had been taking care of Russulaclaw these past few moons, and thought highly of him. She barely stirs from her nest.

Silverwhisker has been thinking alot about himself, and decides that, ya no, he doesn't think he's a tom. They come out as non-binary.

Moon 33:

Brightkit, Aspenkit, and Thistlekit are apprenticed. Thistlepaw goes to Silverwhisker, much to the warriors surprise. Aspenpaw, controversially, goes to Snowstorm, Sorrelstar glancing at Boulderleaf with a glint in her eyes. Lastly, Sorrelstar announces proudly that she will be training Brightpaw, and one day she would take her place as leader.

Mossclaw, unhappy with this decision and the death of his brother Frogpaw, calls out Sorrelstar. Sorrelstar furiously orders Nettleshade to punish this traitor. Nettleshade kills him without hesitation. Silverwhisker realizes with cold dread that they are the last kit left.

Rosemaryclaw anguishes over Mossclaw's body. She trembles, thinking about her precious lost kits. She swallows, blinking back tears as she promises herself that Silverwhisker, Aspenpaw, and Thistlepaw will not suffer the same fate.

Moon 34:

Rosemaryclaw, unable to deny the danger it was putting on her family, tearfully breaks up with Boulderleaf, who understands. They've already lost so much.

Snowstorm and Aspenpaw gleefully tear into a dog until its sent screaming back to its owners.

Moon 35:

Rosemaryclaw dares to leave her nest today, grief still heavy in her heart.

Fawnflower contracts yellowcough. Sorrelstar forbids Boulderleaf from treating her.

Willowspots also gets yellowcough, to which Boulderleaf is allowed to treat.

Moon 36:

Sorrelstar dies from complications due to a claw wound. She has 7 lives left.

Despite Boulderleaf's best efforts, Willowspots dies of yellowcough. Sorrelstar screams at her in front of the whole camp, demanding that Brightpaw demeane the healer as well, to which Brightpaw follows eagerly.

Damn, Boulderleaf is really going through it this year. Sorrelstar is getting more and more ruthless with her age. Will Brightpaw actually survive to leadership? Who knows, all the other ones were killed by Sorrelstar lol

Poor Silverwhisker. Chin up, buddy! Just don't piss off Sorrelstar and you won't end up like your siblings....
