Aliases / Nicknames: ??

Gender: she-cat

Other Relations: unnamed mentor

Clan: Windclan

Rank: medicine cat

Characteristics: kills pure-blooded warriors to prevent future discrimination

Number of Victims: 4

Number of Murders: 4

Murder Method: poisoning

Known Victims: unnamed warriors and elders

Cause of Death: face bashed into the Moonstone, killed by Kiteburn

Cautionary Tale: ??

Story:

It took time to become clear to her, but once she received her full name, Shiverrose could no longer ignore the harsh truth.

The Clans, in spite of years of growth, were still discriminatory toward those of ‘impure’ blood. Time and time again, cats, simple and legendry, had proven that blood does not make a warrior, and time and time again they were ignored or forgotten.

It wasn’t until she came to terms with it did she realize that, in a way, she always knew. She was made to stay away from her best friend, Greykit, because he was Half-Clan. She watched as he and his loner father were shunned, saw how no matter how hard they proved themself, there were still those that believed they were a plague on Windclan. 

But apparently, even having a bad limp, she wasn’t?

It was infuriating. 

Greyheart’s death had nothing to do with her, or anyone for that matter, a simple hunting accident. But her grief along with the rage from whispers claiming if he were Clan-born he would not have failed a hunt was enough to push her to murder.

After all, a Clan cannot shun those who are not Clan-born if no one left in it is Clan-born.

She wondered how she would do it. Slit their throat? Bash their skull in? It was all too obvious, not to mention the blood..

Oh, how silly she was! She was a medicine cat! Their lives were already in her paws. She just had to do the opposite of saving them.

She started with a burst of sickness, which may or may not have been caused by poisoning the fresh-kill pile. It wouldn’t kill them, but would ensure that plenty of warriors would need her attention.

Anyway, it was perfect. Instead of waiting moons for every Clan-Clan warrior to come by and having them all die, she would kill them all at once! Then it would be believable, a bad sickness that took many lives. Sad, but it had happened before.

Well, not all at once. But all while they were still sick, and it wasn’t like they were going to get better soon. Not with her giving them their medicine. The only one who did get better was Stoatpaw. He was young enough to learn better ways, and besides, she didn’t have the heart to kill someone so young.

A few deaths there, a few deaths here. She would have missed the Half-moon meeting, with so many warriors to care for, after all--even including Kiteburn, who hadn’t been poisoned--but the leader was so distraught, and asked her to go seek Starclan’s advice.

She did, going extra early this time to avoid talking with the other medicine cats. If the leader asked her if she asked them for help, and she lied, and he later asked them and found out that she had lied, what then?

She sighed in relief when she arrived, and no one was around. She was about place her nose to the stone when a shadow appeared.

Additional Information:

--Changed it from Moonpool to Moonstone because I really like the idea of Shiverrose having shards of glowing rocks in her face.

--Funnily enough, she likely would have killed Kiteburn if he hadn’t killed her first. He also inadvertently saved his Clanmates.

Dark Forest Resident: Kiteburn

Clan: Windclan

Rank: warrior

Characteristics: kills to prove a point, kills those that annoy him

Number of Victims: 2

Number of Murders: 2

Cause of Death: feline leukemia virus

Cautionary Tale: ??

Story:

It was irritating. All his life, his opinion never mattered. The only thing anyone ever seemed to care about was Starclan. 

Don’t talk back to your elders! What would Starclan think? 

Listen to your mentor, or what would Starclan think?

They even put it in the code to thank Starclan! If they were so great, what did they think the amazing Starclan would do? That their brilliant, kind ancestors would punish them for failing to say ‘thank you’ after catching some random mouse?

His feeling of injustice increased when, refusing to thank Starclan, he was punished and made to take care of the elders in the hopes that the older cats could talk some sense into him.

That, they certainly tried. Complaining about today’s youth and all. Nothing that actually changed Kitepaw’s opinion. In fact, it greatly hardened them.

For refusing to thank some random ancestors he never even met, he was forced to stop all hunting and fighting, things actual useful for the Clan to know, for an entire day.

And what of his opinion? No one bothered to hear him out, to even ask why he felt such a way. 

Brainless ants, the lot of them! Mindlessly following the laws created generations ago, believing that some dead cats could control anything that happened in the Clans if they didn’t like what someone was doing!

If that was the case, wouldn’t all the stories of Tigerstar, Scourge, Sparktail, and who knows how many others, wouldn’t exist? Starclan demands thanks for all they do, and in return they allow murderers and killers to roam free, doing no more than to give a vague warning only helpful when the warriors are at the brink of irreversible damage?

They couldn’t stop him from being diagnosed with Pale-sickness, that was for sure. Laying in the medicine den with an elder, Stonefoot, it was hinted to him that maybe, just maybe, he would be perfectly healthy if had never bad-mouthed Starclan as an apprentice.

Was he joking? Bad-mouthing a sick and dying Clanmate, blaming them for their death?

At least that was the good thing about dying, wasn’t it? There was no such thing as consequences. 

He killed Stonefoot to begin. He wasn’t going to initially, but the old bat had dug his own grave. He slit the elder’s throat after the medicine cat left for the Half-moon meeting, then hurried after.

Shiverrose made sure to be early due to her limp that often slowed her down. Lucky for Kiteburn, she was quick enough to ensure that they would be alone long enough to get the job done.

Afterall, if Starclan is so powerful, surely they can prevent the death of a devoting medicine cat right at their most sacred spot?

Ha. 

He wasn’t surprised when they failed. He padded away, seeing the other medicine cats arrive in the distance, off to a field of heathers and gorse, where he happily laid to die.

Additional Information:

--Pale--sickness is FelV disease, and is called so due to paling gums and whitening eyes, both of which Kiteburn had as symptoms. 

--Shiverrose was actually a killer too, and likely thought it was a revenge killing until Kiteburn told her “nah I just wanted to prove a point.” To which she would respond, “oh damn, me too.”

RookAspenKite bio kit 1/4, Honeykit/Honeyflower!

-oldest and only female of the RookAspenKite bio litter

-named after Rookstorm's grandmother Honeyshade

-most closely resembles the litter's surrogate carrier Shiverrose, her bio dad is Aspenroot

-inherited Rookstorm's NPD

-a spoiled AF daddy's girl and she knows it

-a disaster lesbian with a big AF crush on Proteafang

SHE'S SO PRETTY and can definitely see Shiver and Aspen in her

and I absolutely adore the fact that Kite and Shiver went from "killed the other / planned to kill the other to being close enough for Shiver to be a surrogate to Kite's kit. Truly amazing

I remember I originally submitted Rookstorm to be Aspenroot's DF mentor/possible boyfriend, but Rookstorm is with Kiteburn now... unless... potential poly???? 👀

ooh

it would be funny if Rookstorm mentored him, possibly just because, only for his boyfriend to start dating him and now Rookstorm has to play extra nice, but then catches feelings as well

Kiteburn

Aspenroot

Rookstorm

Kite + Rook = bird

Aspen/root + storm = nature

Trying to find something similar with them all for a name…maybe name them after their home, but where do they live again? (@starfalcon555 any ideas?)

maybe just K.A.R or R.A.K family?

[residences-of-the-darkforest]

What should the KiteRookBurn family be called?

(also @starfalcon555 is Rook and Kite are mates and Aspen and Rook are too, but are Kite and Aspen mates or are they platonic? I can't remember)
