Number of Victims: 20 

Number of Murders: 15 

Murder Method: unspecified, getting others to kill for her

Known Victims: Cinnamonpatch, Firefeather, Grasspath, Meadowbite, Rainpaw, Ivysong, several unknown DayClan cats

Victim Profile: those she considered heretics

Cause of Death: brain-eating amoeba

Cautionary Tale: we left the stars for a reason

Story: 

Siltkit always grew up wondering. "Why did we leave StarClan?" 

Because they are cruel. 

"Don't cats make mistakes?" 

Some are unforgivable. 

"I didn't think-" 

Siltkit, shush. 

But Siltpaw was different. Quiet. Commanding. Always ready to fight. Surely it had nothing to do with the cats in her dreams. 

StarClan wanted her to take over DayClan? Well, Rainpaw, you didn't really talk to Skystar, and he didn't really tell you that. Why don't you just take a walk along the beach? 

No, those stormclouds are fine. 

Oh, Firepaw? You want to go exploring? ....Oh. Wait, you didn't hear--Oh. So it's not an issue. Alright. You're not half bad, you know. 

.... .... .... Siltstripe! Siltstripe! Siltstripe! 

The warrior immediately took on an apprentice. Quietpaw, who shared the same additude with her on...everything. Firefeather joked that they were gulls of a feather. 

Before long, Siltstripe was dragging the bloody body of Ivysong into the sea. And wouldn't you know, she was made deputy! 

All she had to do was wait.... And she was Siltstar! Sort of. Limbo didn't give her the gifts and power that they gave other leaders, but that was alright. 

Now the real fun could begin. 

She instituted a rule of StarClan. Finally, those heretics could be dealt with. After a while, Quietsight began helping! Until he got caught, and Siltstar exiled him, when he got overzealous. But it wasn't enough. 

StarClan condemned her relationship with Firefeather, and said that she had murdered so many cats in cold blood already. 

She helped Redtree, a useful idiot, kill Firefeather. 

She already had an apprentice, Pearpaw, who could easily be helped. 

Siltstar hardly paid any attention when Redtree and Orangefluff--honestly, who names a cat Orangefluff? 

She was sick, so Quietsight was the one who did the ceremony, as her deputy. And what ended up happening? She was infected by a disease. A one in a million chance. It destroyed her body, and left her dead. 

As she believed in StarClan, they sent her to where she belonged. 

Firefeather

Aliases / Nicknames: N/A   

Gender: female 

Sexuality: pansexual 

Family: unnamed mother, unnamed father, Siltstar (mate, formerly)

Other Relations: Unnamed mentor, Pearpelt (apprentice)

Clan: DayClan 

Rank: leader 

Characteristics: sneaky, good healer, curious

Murder Motive:

Number of Victims: 7 

Number of Murders: 7 

Murder Method: whatever she wanted 

Known Victims: unnamed DayClan cats

Victim Profile: whoever she wanted

Cause of Death: killed by Redtree

Cautionary Tale: N/A 

Story: 

Firekit was always a curious cat. Always wondering and wandering. 

When she was apprenticed as a medicine cat, this did not fade. But the target changed. What would happen if a corpse was covered in salt? Would gulls get sick if they ate a rotting corpse? 

Was the death of someone that was increasingly annoying to your crush a good way to ask them out? 

When Siltstar killed her, she ended up in Limbo. All skin and bones, as the evil cats who go there are. But it was one day she discovered part of the fog that was darker. 

Exploring it, she found her home. A place where she didn't need to starve. 

Additional Information: 

--Submission by @frightnightindustries​

--Orangefluff immediately calls her a turtle ****** and she bursts out laughing.

--Finsand was the father of Redtree and Orangefluff. 

The differences of Siltstar and Firefeather VS Alderstar and Myrtlewing are so funny to me. YOU’RE RIGHT

[lathrine]

i tried four times to explain these w/o a novel and i simply cannot so. you’re welcome.

I just had an image pop into my head. Weaselpaw and Crowpsw being dicks, when they start doing it to Caimanpaw. Caimanpaw, while being an anxious mess, knows how to fight. Not even getting into the "if Siltstar and Firefeather start a custody battle" thing, because Firefeather would be pissed.

I imagine Caimanpaw wrecking their shit while also being an anxious mess and crying

Holy shit Coyotehoot and Firefeather would be amazing friends.

Some of my ocs and their name reasons.

Antwave - His biological parents (/neg) gave him his prefix to remind him that “All of us are small and nothing compared to StarClan. He got his suffix because his presence had made waves in the WhistleWhisperClan (WhisperClan and WhistleClan function like a united states of two) and PartridgeClan relations, but the WhistleClan leader regretted nothing.

Breezefleck - Silentbrook, in the time before his death and after Flightcry discovered his allegiance to the legacy, felt like he was becoming more isolated. He gave his kits some interesting names. His suffix came from his pelt.

Cavecrawl - His parents had their nest under an overpass, which BayClan calls a ‘monster tunnel.’ In an incident which led to him getting his warrior name early, a group of apprentices went to explore some tunnels on the outskirts of BayClan territory. The entrance collapsed, and Cavepaw led the group back aboveground.

Coyotehoot - He had markings like a coyote that had attacked his mother when she was younger, and he caught an owl for his warrior assessment.

Firefeather - She had a bright orange pelt, and she was always good at the DayClan specific duties of a medicine cat. Dictating what prey should be left alone because it’s their mating season, predicting the storms, spotting sharks.

Goldenrue - He had golden speckles on his fur, and ‘rue’ was the favorite plant of his parents, and Driftstar, his father, gave him his warrior name.

Larkscar - His fur felt a bit like feathers, and he got a scar in a fight with a hawk as an apprentice.

Limpetsong - The name was given by his mother, Cloudydusk, after Blizzardeye told her a story about the sun-drown place. His suffix was given by his suggestion, he wanted to be named after Snipvoice, and with a little manipulation by a newly dead Ripperclaw, the leader gave him the song suffix.

Wrathscale/Caimanscale - His attitude was just like a pissed-off caiman, and he brought a caiman’s scale to camp to try and prove that he should be made a warrior early. The scale was given to him by his father.

oh this is so cool!

That's a really interesting story for Cavecrawl, and Firefeather sounds really cool!

I'll make sure to add them to the refs when I get the chance

Idea: Siltstar and Waspstar become a thing because Siltstar wants to show Firefeather "she's doing fine without her!" And Firefeather is like "yeah ok"

Consider: Wasp is pissed after finding out Silt essentially used her to prove a point so she breaks up with Silt. She then ends up with Firefeather

[residences-of-the-darkforest]

Siltstar and Firefeather are kind of like if Wavespark and Archice got a divorce

they give me “matching tattoos that they had to cover after breaking up” vibes
