Novo Amor - Repeat Until Death

this is THE dovesky song so of course i had to draw her. this song really put me in my feels and helped me figure out my characterization for her. anyways this specifically corresponds with the second verse, go listen to the song it's really good.

Dovesky! I don't really imagine her like this I don't think? But then again I'm not sure how I DO imagine her. I think in my head she's a lot more buff and Lorge with a lot of fur, but her daughters and all three of her siblings are smaller and very sleek (except for Snowspiral, she's super tall)

How come Snowyfeather has feathers instead of herbs like the other medicine cats?

Okay let’s see if I can answer this coherently!

Snowyfeather has two dove feathers to represent her mother Dovesky. Dovesky was a RiftClan queen who sent her kits Cliffkit, Icegaze, and Snowyfeather to live in GlenClan with their father Hickorystar because RiftClan has a REALLY strict culture about Clan loyalty, especially concerning half-clan relationships. The relationship between these two Clans at the times was under especially high stress due to fights surrounding rights to the river. Had the half-clan nature of her kits been revealed, Dovesky likely would have been banished and while her kits wouldn’t have been punished, they would have led significantly more difficult lives.

Though it is uncommon, Snowyfeather isn’t the only healer to have feathers. Tumblefeather (PineClan healer apprentice Tumblepaw in the allegiances) has brown feathers in his neck fur, and past healers Swallowbird hand Ravenspeckle also had feathers in their fur
