i keep listening to easy by waveform and thinking about hivestar, whom i've decided is a major player in dawnshatter's backstory. the two were mates, and hivesting wanted to be deputy someday. when the deputy showed up dead, apparently poisoned, hivesting was made deputy. then the leader was poisoned as well (probably along with a few cats before them), and hivesting found out it was dawnshatter killing them so hivesting could be leader. hivesting killed him, and became leader. he was haunted for the rest of his life by suspicion of his involvement in dawnshatter's scheme, as well as the guilt of both having to kill his mate and feeling like he didn't deserve his position.
hiya! i'm working on charts of all of the clan leaders, and here's part one with glenclan! information about each leader is under the cut, it ended up longer than i expected haha
Sorrelstar (Sorrelfoot, he/him)- GlenClan's founder, he was the ThunderClan deputy in the lake territories before the second migration. He was first to establish his Clan, made up of former Thunder, Sky, and RiverClan cats. He was a total sweetheart and ended up living a SUPER long time. Leader mark is a white tail-tip.
Stagstar (Stagheart, he/they)- Sorrelstar's grand-nephew, a stern and somewhat abrasive cat who holds his Clan's needs above all else, sometimes to the detriment of others. Leader mark is a stripe below each side of their mouth.
Dewstar (Dewripple, she/her)- a kind, patient, but ultimately very naive cat. She established the agreement with PineClan over ownership of the Sunstones, and was promptly killed by her deputy Barkfang. Leader mark is the inner ring on her face stripes.
Redstar (Redgleam, he/him)- was chosen by StarClan to lead GlenClan after Barkfang was poisoned by the healers. Was a wise and determined leader. wears feathers from the cardinal that was the StarClan omen choosing him as leader, leader mark is a grey spot on his back.
Laurelstar (Laurelfrost, they/xem)- no one is quite sure how they became leader after someone as capable as Redstar tbh. xey were vain and a bit lazy, but incredibly charming in a way that made other cats like and trust them. They were eventually poisoned by Dawnshatter so that Hivesting could be leader. Leader mark is dark circles around xeir eyes.
Hivestar (Hivesting, he/him)- oh, Hivestar. For as long as he could remember, he wanted to become leader, and was disilusioned with Laurelstar's leadership. His mate Dawnshatter strategically poisoned several cats to get Hivesting into a leadership position, only discovered after he had successfully killed Laurelstar. Hivesting banished them, and became leader. He was a good leader, but was always followed by the fear that he didn't deserve his position. Leader mark is the dark part of his muzzle.
Ashenstar (Ashenpelt, he/him)- Ashenstar was a proud, powerful cat, and the instigator of the war between GlenClan and RiftClan over rights to the Great River. He became guilty over his actions later in his life, and made attempts to fix the mess he'd made before he died. Leader mark is pale grey paws.
Hickorystar (Hickoryleap, he/him)- a short-lived leader, Hickorystar was a meek, sad cat who lived most of his life with an immune disorder that often left him sick. He began the process of making amends with RiftClan, spurred on by love for his former mate and mother of his kits, the RiftClan warrior Dovesky. Leader mark is large spots down the sides of his tail.
Sandstar (Sandstripe, she/they)- Sandstar was made deputy rather young, with Hickorystar hoping that a young leader would have a different perspective on the fighting with RiftClan. She is the current leader, a proud, humorous, but stubborn cat beloved by her Clanmates. Leader mark is dark stripes along her nose bridge.
Greenstar (Greenshade, they/she)- the future leader after Sandstar, Greenstar is an observant, introverted, deeply intelligent cat. They lead their clan with wisdom and foresight almost unmatched by any cat alive. Their leader mark is a black stripe on each whisker pad.
