Skyfall Art-ober Day #11: Relevant Sky-kin Family Tree
Took a break from new designs today to instead make a family tree for the characters I’ve posted over the last few days. I left out Sedgecloud’s kits and Silverblaze’s kits, but they’ll get designs over the next few days. Birdflight and Cloudstorm will get full body designs as well.
A good ol ‘story’ from the SnowClan elder PhantomPelt! (Also one of my oldest Warriors ocs) I wonder how old he really is…
It’s finally done! I can now continue with regular WillowBurr story lol, I will let you send asks to this new cat, but since you don’t know his name, you can just call him Pastor..
Antleaves's maybe possibly potentially abandoned children he had during a brief affair with a Shadowclan she-cat named Foglily that ended after Plumbee started expecting kits.
First off is Peachbug!
He is the firstborn, and suffice to say, he looks so much like his father Antleaves. He stayed in Shadowclan after their parentage was revealed to his clan to prove his loyalty! He ended up becoming a deputy, and he died protecting the Windclan nursery whilst a Shadowclan warrior was trying to break in.
Second is Frostwing!
He was the secondborn, and clearly looks nothing like his father but exactly like his mother! He left for Riverclan when their parentage was revealed to Shadowclan in order to hopefully feel reconnected to his roots. He didn't live long in Riverclan, but he lived long enough to have trained an apprentice whomst he considers as his daughter! He sadly succumbed to his asthma only 2 moons after his apprentice became a warrior.
Third is Dawnstream!
She was lastborn, and looked like a hybrid of both her parents. She left for Skyclan their parentage was revealed to Shadowclan in order to escape and hide from the drama, but she still wanted to stay near her mother. Dawnstream outlived both of her siblings and her mother, had her own family with another she-cat (Robinpurr), saw her kits become warriors with one of them becoming a medicine cat, she lived a very long, very full, and very happy life. She passed away due to old age along side her beloved Robinpurr.
And last but not least, the mistress herself, Foglily!
She outlived her two sons, but ended up dying from poisoned prey shortly after the war Peachbug died in was suddenly in action again after a year of silence between Shadowclan and Windclan.
I wish this was an actual book so that I can read it
Loki is grateful he trusts Gabriel enough to get a good night’s sleep around him, he really is. But even such trust has its limits. He really should know by now that his birthday is an easy target for his friend’s shenanigans, but this … this is a little ridiculous. He sits up slowly in bed--at least that hasn’t changed at all, and looks around.
“Gabriel, why is the apartment a gingerbread house?” he asks aloud, assuming his friend can hear him somewhere.
The window normally pouring sunlight into his room is the same shape--but it’s made from candy cane frames and a clear pane of something edible. Gabriel never half-asses these things. The carpet has changed--it’s now a layer of hardened icing around the room. Soft things aren’t particularly easy to make out of candy, hence why his bed remained untouched so he wouldn’t notice the overnight transformation.
“Gabriel, are you going to answer, or is it my job to figure out where my actual birthday gifts are?” he tries again.
He swings his legs out from under the covers, using magic to change out of his pajamas and into day clothes--being sure to include slippers to walk around the candy house. Gabriel doesn’t plan on making this easy, clearly. After making his bed, he walks carefully to the door and pulls it open with the giant M&M handle. Surprisingly sturdy.
Just like his room, the rest of the apartment has received a makeover. However, unlike his room, Gabriel has done a hell of a lot more out here than in there. In fact, there isn’t really a “rest of the apartment,” because the place looks more like Narnia or an edible version of Frozen. Drifts of powdered sugar and mini marshmallows cover the ground--or is it technically still the floor?--and a light sprinkling of powdered sugar cascades from the sky that has replaced the ceiling.
Loki reaches out and breaks off part of a pine tree branch to examine his friend’s imagination. The branch is dark chocolate and the green needles are hard sugar dyed green--and accurately pointy. “You’ve outdone yourself, my friend,” he muses before changing his clothes yet again to better suit a faux-winter climate. He doesn’t want sugar in his socks.
A twinkle of light catches his eye so he walks forward until he sees what it is. The glint of an invisible sun glints off the pommel of a small dagger buried blade-down in the “snow.” He puts down the candy branch and picks it up. It’s one of the daggers he’d pointed out a couple months ago, with a colorful parrot head pommel.
Looking up ahead of him in the snow, a second pommel sticks out of the sugar and marshmallows. “Am I supposed to follow a trail of weapons, Gabriel?”
“Oh sh-t, yeah, yeah do that. I hadn’t realized you’d gotten the first one yet.” Gabriel appears in a flurry of sugar beside him. “Happy birthday!”
“How many of these are there?” Loki asks, holding up the dagger.
“Only like three, don’t worry,” his friend replies. “C’mon.”
They walk together for a little while, letting Loki pick up the presents on the way, dusting them free of the sugar. By the third dagger, they can see a door--a gingerbread and chocolate door.
When they reach it, Gabriel smiles and stuffs his hands in his pockets. “This was just a fun little experiment, really. Gonna go all out for Christmas.”
Loki arches an eyebrow at him. “This,” he gestures around, “isn’t going ‘all out?’”
“Are you kidding? Christmas is gonna blow your mind, friendo.”
“Right…” Loki steps up and puts a hand on the peppermint doorknob. “Coming?”
His friend shook his head. “Oh, no. My part of the presents are over. Sophael did the rest, and I trust they’ll deliver.” Loki gave him another look before turning the doorknob, although how it turns is a good question for a later time. “Have fun,” Gabriel beams, and disappears in an eruption of white sugar.
With that slightly ominous message, Loki pushes the door open, and the edible wintery scene vanishes behind him. He’s back in his own room--not the candy version, the normal version. The lights are off, though, and a dozen candles float around the perimeter of the room.
“I heard you like cats.”
Once his eyes adjust to the lower lighting, he recognizes Sophael sprawled out on his bed wearing… wearing very little, actually.
Loki smiles. “Well, I’d say hello, Dove, but I feel that pet name isn’t quite appropriate.” His gaze roams over his angel, from the black cat ears sticking out of her hair, to the black lace bra and panties, to the black tail sticking out from the back of her waistline.
“Not exactly,” she smiles back, bending her knees up and crossing one leg over the other.
He sits down on the bed beside her, running one hand down her thigh and placing a kiss on her knee. “So… is your present breakfast in bed?”
Potatolick - A cheerful and good humoured tom. Potatolick can always sense when a cat is feeling down and knows just what to do to cheer them up. He’s often loud and extroverted when he’s socialising in camp, but he’s always careful to try and say quiet during patrols, even though he can’t always help himself if he bumps into Flamegleam, which always happens suspiciously often when either of them are leading a patrol, 15/10
Flamegleam - A kind and insightful tom. Flamegleam has a skill for seeing beyond the surface level of a situation, this has allowed him to successfully mediate several conflicts, both big an small. He will always helps another cat in need, he sometimes gets anxious afterwards that he didn’t do enough to help, especially if things go wrong due to factors outside anyone’s control, to which Potatolick will always reassure him he did the best he could, 15/10
Brookeslip - A skilled and intelligent she-cat. Brookslip can get out of any tricky situation. She always knows exactly what to say and her mastery of stealth and speed make her an efficient hunter, and spy if needs be, 14/10
Storkfall - A kind and wise tom. Storkfall will always give out advice to those who ask, however the tends to make it fairly cryptic, as he believes that cats need to think things through themselves, although he’s more than happy to nudge them in a direction.

Frostwing - A gentle and introverted she-cat. Frostwing will always be there to offer comfort to those that need it, she can have a gentle motherly approach that many cats appreciate. If she’s part of a big patrol Frostwing will often suggest splitting up or going off in a smaller group as large patrols make her feel awkward, the patrol will always honour her wish as Frostwing has helped most cats in the clan, some several times over, 13/10
