what if the oldest kits mentored the youngest?

we already established that Protea mentored Maplefang

maybe Doe mentored Tritonia

Froststorm mentored Pasque

Ashmint mentored Chukar

and Molechive  mentored Chough

it would also fit with how Gorse and Ember mentored their own kits before. They’re trusting more and more, but still prefer to have their family mentor their family.

wait

I never really thought about it before, but MyrtleAlder and GorseEmber, the two couples with the highest kill/victim count, and one half doesn’t regret what they did at all while the other half does VERY much

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

still working on the others, but here are the designs for these two:

Pasquelull (female)

Tritoniafinch (trans female)

just ignore T’s scars, forgot to delete them

alright so

GorseEmberBirchFox kit order (starting with G and E):

--Lightswan (adoptive) 

--Molechive, Froststorm (adoptive)

--Ashmint (adoptive)

--Proteafang, Doefire, Jaykit, Fressiakit (bio)

They then become a poly with Foxfire and Birchflight.

Then Gorseheart has these kits with Birch:

--Adderclaw, Larksnow, Haretuft

only a moon before Ember has these kits with Fox:

--Cloudstep, Sootshade

Later, Birch and Fox have their own kits together:

--Maplefang, Feathergale, Toadjay, Shellminx

Finally, Gorse and Ember have a second bio litter:

--Chukarvole, Pasquelull, Tritoniafinch, Choughwolf

===============================

===============================

Age Differences For The Kits:

1) Lightswan was adopted when she was roughly four moons old (this age could change as it is an estimation).

2) Molechive and Froststorm died five moons after Lightswan at age five moons, making her five moons older than them.

3) Ashmint died at two moons old twenty-three moons after Molechive and Froststorm died, making them twenty-six moons older than him.

4) Proteafang, Doefir, Fressiakit, and Jaykit were born one moon after Ashmint died and are three moons younger than him. Protea and Doe were adults when their parents became a poly and when both their younger siblings were born (Jay and Fressia died). Possibly around twenty moons, making them that much older.

5) Adderclaw, Larksnow, and Haretuft are one moon older than Cloudstep and Sootshade (their mothers being pregnant at almost the same time).

6) Maplefang, Feathergale, Toadjay, and Shellminx were born when 5 became apprentices, making their age gap about six-and-a-half.

7) Chukarvole, Pasquelull, Tritoniafinch, and Choughwolf were born when 6 were older apprentices, about two or so moons away from gaining their full names. Also possible they were born after 3 earned their names. This makes them about ten to thirteen moons younger.

@starfalcon555

Going with a big timespan for Ashmint because it’s odd to have so many kits go to the DF at around the same time, so want to spread it out a bit.

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

Chukar, Pasque, Tritonia, Chough possible suffixes:

Coughwolf, Tritoniafinch, Chukarvole, Pasquelull

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

Possible names for GorseEmber’s second litter of kits:

--Chukarkit

--Pasquekit

For sure names:

--Tritoniakit

--Choughkit

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

wanna give Gorse and Ember another bio litter

after knowing they can have kits without them being badly affected, they would probably try it

likely after BirchFox’s litter are older apprentices, making it a technical late-in-life litter....if their ages aged at all since their deaths 

they also might feel guilty because they don’t want it to seem like they hate how Protea and Doe turned out, but their daughters would just be like “we know it’s not about that dumbasses, get some kits”

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

Jaykit!
