ohohoho Holly being SquirrelCrow kid also makes her having green eyes so much more sense (well im not cat genetics expert and well i dont mind when kids inherit eye colors from grandparents/distant ancestors bc its fun... but imagine. since Jay have blue [Crow or Hawk] and Lion have amber [Leaf])
I KNOW RIGHT. It also works really well given my design for her, which is a bit more like a tortie, black with tiny ginger accents here and there. She would look perfectly like a mix of Squirrelflight and Crowfeather.
Still not sure where Brambleclaw would factor in. I like to think he'd be the Thrushpelt of the situation, and just as kind and understanding, knowing the whole truth from the start. No matter whether they're his kits, he will protect them with his life, and loves them with all his heart. Depending on which route I go with, he might even feel as though he owes Leafpool, since he killed her mate, Hawkfrost (if I go this direction, it would have been an accident/misunderstanding, as Hawk is very different in my AU).
