Character lore below:
Stagwish and Mossybee were one of my og favourite couples and had many kits together including Dampfire. Her first littler with Mossybee included Tallwhisker, Dunepaw and Dampfire. The former two unfortunately didn’t survive long. Her second litter was a sole kit named Toadwillow, who also died young. Stagwish was as bloodthirsty as she was beautiful, climbing her way through the ranks with her fantastic hunting skills, serving as deputy under Turtlestar, the leader who maimed Stagwish, causing her to lose a leg. Mossybee never took another official mate after Stagwish’s death though she did mother more kits. She also served as deputy under Flickerstar for a time before joining her old mate in starclan.
Dampfire was the only Stag x Mossy kit to have children of her own and the only kit to reach the age of elder. Dampfire was a fierce medicine cat and a great teacher to several apprentices. Dampfire had a bit of an on again off again relationship with Flightfoot but they loved each other deeply and had a large family together, including Acornflame and Longnight. While Dampfire was a medicine cat, she was also always willing to defend the territory and especially the clans kits from intruders, earning her many scars. Deputyship appears to run in the family as eldest Acornflame served during their life time, chosen for their ambition and strong connection to starclan. They also has plenty of scars to show, for a rat and a incident by the river. Longnight was on the younger side of Dampfire’s kits, she had a short life but was wise and shared that connection to starclan that their sibling had, she probably would have been made leader if she’d had the chance, her natural wisdom making up for lack of experience. Damp x Flight’s other kits were called: Tigerspeckle (the only one still alive in the currant era), Bleaknose, Springtail, Bristlekit, Fringeburr, Nectarfur, Egretspeckle and Flyspots. After Acornflame’s passing, Flightfoot too served as deputy for a time.
Acornflame’s mate isn’t known, but they parented Volebird, among others. Volebird is the currant deputy of Rippleclan serving under Flickerstar, who’s days are numbered in their old age. She is very smart but still has a playful spirit. She’s faced many hardships in her life, losing part of her ear to a twoleg trap and having been bitten by a snake. She also has taken many mates in her 103 moons, hoping for kits after the passing of her mate Bagderswipe and their two kits, Mintpaw and Fuzzyhare. Every mate after that died in tragic accidents, until Harerunner, whom she finally had a second litter with, Shrewfur. Shrewfur is the light of Volebird’s life. The young cat has a bit of a vengeful streak and is very persuasive but the scar she received protecting some young kits shows that she has a good heart inside.
In the present day, Shrewfur has taken Oakbird as her mate and I can only hope they life a long and happy life together, hopefully with some beautiful kits on the way
