Kinkfur! She Is Needletail's other Grandma, but you wouldn't realize that from reading the books haha. She is first named in the allegiances of Eclipse, as a warrior. In the Omen of the Stars she has a litter of kits, Mistcloud, Sparrowtail, and Dewkit, who attempt to play with Ivypool when she is captured and held in Shadowclan during Night Whispers. In the last battle she helps Littlecloud take care of the wounded during the battle. Her lengthiest appearances happen in Thunder and Shadow, and while she has a bit of the 'stock shadowclan' rude and proud attitude she also tends to be a bit softer and more trusting than other cats, choosing to believe and trust Violetpaw to be loyal because she was unwilling to betray the Kin. She falls ill with Yellowcough and perishes, prompting the medicine cats to defy Onestar and gather the lungwort anyway at their next gathering. Crowfrost remembers her at her vigil as having been "loyal to Shadowclan for many moons, and she was loyal and kind to the end." Other fun facts, as of writing this she is the only Shadowclan cat who's name begins with K.
reworked Tallstar family tree! i'm really happy with this one :)
as always, lots of inspiration taken from bonefall's windclan tree
i use bone's 3 strict rules for fixing trees, with the tweak that characters must be more distant than second cousins to be compatible, rather than first. most important to know is the Queen's Rights.

Changes made:
Palebird still has her kittens with Woollytail, they just aren't listed here.
Talltail and Jake come across of an abandonned litter of kittens, which they raise together. When he tries to leave his rogue life behind, Wren followed him and joined Windclan.
Socks and Jake's canon siblings are recycled to be part of this litter.
Onestar is no longer Ashfoot's sister. His parents are now Larksplash and Cloudrunner.
Gorsepaw no longer has a dad; Morningflower invoked the Queen's Rights, which was part of Tigerstar's reason for killing him.
Ashfoot's first litter was stolen by Shadowclan when Windclan was driven out. They were presumed dead and thus never retrieved. Each kitten has different thoughts on Shadowclan.
Downpour committed entirely to Shadowclan, stating that being stolen was 'the best thing that happened to her', and that 'cats who cannot defend their kittens don't deserve to keep them'. Any trauma she may have, she refuses to acknowledge.
Her mate is Blossomthorn (one of Dawncloud's kittens who gets to live), and their kits are Olivenose, Redwillow and Shrewfoot.
Hillblaze spends their life feeling like an outsider in Shadowclan, but fearing change too much to leave. They become mates with Nightwhisper, who's having similar thoughts, and create their own personal family within Shadowclan, but distant from it. Their kits are Kinkfur and Talonpaw.
Eagleswoop never feels a connection not only to Shadowclan, but to clan culture as a whole. He leaves to join Bloodclan alongside Jaggedtooth.
Crowfeather is older now, to fix a timeline inconsistency with Deadfoot's death. his warrior name pre-journey was Crowfoot.
Breezepelt now gets two wives, because I love him and he deserves it. Him, Harestar and Heathertail are all in a polyamorous relationship.
Smokehaze was moved to Brushblaze x Whitetail, to cause Onestar the most distress.
Brindlewing is now younger, part of the same litter as her siblings.
Needletail is a lykoi, but I'm not sure if her sprite properly conveys that.
Redpaw & Sprucepaw are now SpireFringe kittens.
Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, Appleshine, Olivenose, and Sunbeam all have kittens who aren't listed here.
