Lizardcub - Male - Heterosexual - Kittypet -> Cub

Lizardcub was found by Shiningsoul on patrol, and brought back to camp. It didn’t take long for them to discover that he was mute, unable to say anything about his past. 

Snowtuft took him in, since she’d just kitted, although she was a little wary about him being so near her newborn kits, especially with the loss of Stillcub. Slowly though, she opened up, and now sees him as one of her own.

Lizardcub can often be found spending time with Flameriver, who Shiningsoul recently decided will be the mute cub’s mentor, alongside of Cloudpaw since there are so many young cats in the clan.

Mystclan:: Post 3

With the excitement of the Gathering behind them, Shiningsoul and Raventail returned home to find Snowtuft in a flurry over her upcoming kitting. The other two she-cats then moved into overdrive, preparing the den, cleaning out her nest, and doing one last check of the territory to make sure that the borders were secure before new kittens came into the clan. They'd actually found a cat, a multicolored tomcat calling himself Flame. In a hurried ceremony he'd been named Flameriver, before Shiningsoul had shooed him out of the camp to hunt and patrol while Snowtuft kitted. The tension in camp was heavy, especially without a mage to guard over Snowtuft's kitting. Shiningsoul paced around the camp several times, before putting Raventail in charge and heading off for the Dusk Lake to ask the ancestors properly for a healer.

Shiningsoul had noticed a bit of extra tension laying in the fact that Flameriver was the first tom to arrive in the clan, and with two she-cats high on hormones, it probably wasn’t the best idea to leave him alone with the two, but she didn’t have much of a choice, she had to get a mage for Snowtuft. And for later on, but primarily for the kittings. Shiningsoul was basically still a kit herself, only nineteen moons for starclans sake, once cadets moved on they’d only just now be mating with their chosen partners. What was she to know about this sort of thing?

snowtuft gave birth to four healthy kits and a stillborn. starclan sends a mage! shiningsoul found a lone kit on patrol. flameriver caught a lizard and a mouse.

Flameriver - Male - Heterosexual - Loner -> Guardian

Flameriver couldn’t have joined Mystclan at a more tense time. The very day he’d joined and gotten his name in a hurried ceremony, before being shooed out of the camp so as not to bother Snowtuft who’d started kitting about twenty minutes before.

Flameriver tends to sit on the outskirts of the camp, since two nurses with raging hormones tend to lash out at unfamiliar tomcats who get too close. 

Shiningsould’s been trying to get the others to warm up to him, and she thinks with the arrival of Cloudpaw, Raventail and Snowtuft will start to let him near their children.

At this time Flameriver has no mate and no cubs

Two Nurses Shiningsoul couldn't be happier. Not only had she gotten a nurse who was due to kit the following moon, but as she'd walked the borders of the valley she'd found a raven pelted nurse who had just found herself pregnant, and ran from her twolegs in order to avoid losing her cubs. Their original names were Snowflake and Raven. Shiningsoul had, after giving them a sort of rundown on how things worked in Mystclan, renamed them to Snowtuft and Raventail. Since Snowtuft was a lot closer to her kitting than Raventail,Shiningsoul had given her the order to remain in the camp until the cubs were old enough to eat meat. Raventail she allowed out to patrol with her. The exercise, if done properly, would do the cubs good. Too much would harm both them and their mother though, so Shiningsoul limited her only to normal patrols, and then only one per half moon.

Snowtuft felt like a beached whale. Correction, the whales at her old sea-side home were skinnier than she was. She'd been pregnant for about a moon already, but she already knew that her stomach had to be bloated beyond repair. She'd never be skinny again, she was doomed to be a fat old elder for the rest of her days. Her mate, an absolute piece of trash whose name shall never again be spoken by decent cats had dumped her when she'd broken the absolutely amazing news, shortly after which she'd received a dream to come here, to Mystclan, where her kits would be appreciated. There was another queen too, Raventail. She was rather...distant, and seemed to be much calmer about her pregnant state than Snowtuft. Of course, Raventail had only recently gotten pregnant before she'd found her way to Mystclan territory. Snowtuft was quite convinced that Raventail would soon be sharing her grievances.

Snowtuft was a kittypet. There was no doubt about it. Every time Raventail got close enough to talk to her, Snowtuft was going on about how things had once been. Idiotic. Raventail was a loner by birth. She'd wandered more alleys and forests than she could count. She had heard stories about clans, albeit they were different from Mystclan where she now resided. She had even thought about joining more than one on multiple occasions. Of course, that had been before she'd gotten pregnant. It had been a one night thing, the tom was cute, she had no shame in admitting, and she hadn't been expecting to get pregnant. Then she's known she couldn't let her kits...her cubs make the same mistake. So she'd sought out the closest clan, and had ended up in this foggy valley. It was...different, but with the only cats thus far being female, Raventail knew her children could be born in safety. Unless of course males showed up, but even if they did, Ravenclaw would see too it that they knew she and her brood were off limits.

the patrol found a guardian! shiningsoul caught a thrush (three servings)

Raventail - Female - Pansexual - Rouge -> Nurse

Raventail was born a wild cat. She thinks she had some siblings, but she doesn’t remember them very well, since their mother, due to the culture of their area, dropped each of them off at different parts of the forest when they were young, the idea being if they can’t survive then they don’t deserve to.

Raventail, at the time only knowing that her name was Raven and the basic survival instincts, technically cheated her test by running into another cat from a different family, and working with him to survive.

Eventually, as they grew older, they became mates. Their first litter ended in miscarriage, and it was a long while before Raventail was ready to try it again. Finally though, her mate decided that he’d waited long enough and vanished in the night.

In anger, Raventail went blindly after him, desperate to prove she wasn’t afraid of having kits. She ran into a different tom on the way, flicked her tail and batted her eyelashes, and left the next morning expecting. 

A few days later, when she still hadn’t caught up with her mate, the seriousness of what she’d done caught up with her, and she began to search for the clans she and her mate had once spoken of. She found Mystclan, and joined it a few days later. Her kits are not yet born, but she knows that when they are she will do everything in her power to keep toms away from them.

Snowtuft - Female - Heterosexual - Loner -> Nurse

Snowtuft was born in a fishing village, and grew up with the rest of the town’s many cats, who had been imported to deal with the rat problems. Snowtuft, born Snowflake, ended up falling in love with a tomcat, only to get dumped when she told him. A few days later she recieved a dream to travel to Mystclan, where her then unborn children would be appreciated. 

Snowtuft, though never living with twolegs, has a bit of a kittypet attitude when it comes to some things. Her children, Whalecub, Frostcub, Dockcub, and Rustcub, she is determined to keep from meeting the same fate, and plans to work with Shiningsoul on finding their mates, and already has an eye on Lizardcub for her only daughter Frostcub. Even though he’s mute, Lizardcub is quite cute, and knows that if the clan raises him, he’ll turn out alright.

Mystclan:: Post 1

Alright, so I’ll be posting Mystclan’s posts same as I do here, and with the ‘replies’ at the bottom. 

Enjoy

Mystclan... Such a mysterious name. Shiningsoul loved it. The Myst in it could mean anything, Mystery, Mystical, or even just plain old Mist. It held possibility, it held excitement. It held secrecy. Shiningsoul was a cat who loved secrets. That was how she'd thrived in the metal pathways of her old home. By knowing secrets, she'd kept herself alive. No one held their tongue around a kitten, because they didn't expect said kitten to have a perfect memory. By using secrets she'd learned in her kitten days, Shiningsoul had risen, and stayed in power in the twolegplace. But even at the top of the food chain, with other cats, cats much older than her crawling forwards and begging for mercy for their actions, she had not been truly happy. She had always had a restless soul, the type that made you wonder, just what lay beyond the bleak fog of the city air. She'd been waiting for an excuse to leave, to explore...and one night she'd gotten it. A dream, sent from the heavens, telling her to go out and find a hidden valley, shrouded in mystery. That was where she'd gotten the name. Mystery, Fog, hidden between five towering peaks. It was the perfect name. Shiningsoul knew she was on the young side to be a leader. Or, technically a kami. When she'd had the dream, telling her about all the rules and terms and everything, she may or may not have said, in an entirely respectful tone "Screw your terms, I'm gonna call my clanmates whatever the heck I want." So maybe it wasn't those exact words, but the meaning was definitely received by the starry cats. She had woken up rather abruptly after that, with the thrumming of new lives powering her paws. They'd told her about that too. The pain had been really annoying, and her bones had felt stiff, like she was some thousand moon old cat. Which was part of the reason she'd avoided seeking out a 'place of power' as they'd called it. She'd found a possible one on her way to the mountains though. A shining lake that lay just in front of two of the mountains. It fed into a river, that seemed to go down quite a ways, but she had ignored that, she was more interested in the lake itself. It practically radiated power, reflecting the stars perfectly. But she wasn't interested in the stars. Shiningsoul had always been taught that the time with the most power, the greatest connection to the ancestors, was dusk. That was why she was calling it the Dusk Lake. Shiningsoul's pelt was white and gray, and as she stepped through the fog that protected Mystclan's valley, she felt the soft white cloud-like material almost clinging to her pelt, whispering for her to go back into its safe embrace. She was tempted, but she also had a mission. Mystclan would never grow if she sat in her protected valley forever. She would never learn anyone's secrets. So she'd decided upon the perfect request. A nurse. A she-cat with kits, or cubs as she'd decided to call them, determined to defy the ancestors terminology to the very end, Shiningsoul knew would draw more cats in. Cubs needed protection, cats to provide them food. As long as she had cubs in the clan, she could attract more cats. That was why she'd set up the particular laws of Mystclan, particularly those pertaining to mates and litters. Some might be confused, even repelled, but it would guarantee Mystclan's survival. She could deal with a few Akumas if she had to, replacing the elderly with traitors probably not the wisest decision on her part, but once a cat retired, really what were they good for? They could instead go to the Dusk Lake and die, joining the ancestral guard who would watch over them from above, who would guide new souls into her clan. Everything had an end goal, and for Shiningsoul, her end goal for creating Mystclan was having a better legacy than 'she who stole secrets'. Oh she would still steal secrets in order to stay in power, but in the end she would be known as she who created the clan. She who protected us all. She who redefined the laws of survival.

shiningsoul's request was granted. she finds a nurse who's kits are due in one moon. on patrol, she found another nurse with kits due in two moons. shiningsoul caught three mice.

Shiningsoul - Female - Heterosexual -  Loner -> Kami

No cat holds their tongue around a kit, that is how Shine, an eight moon old she-cat rose to power in the twolegplace of her birth. She stayed in control through secrets and blackmail, until the age of fourteen moons, when she first received the dream of the stars, the call to create a clan.

Shine, ever unique, decided that, she didn’t want to create a clan exactly like all the other clans lying around. She wanted to create something different. She spent four moons working out terms, laws, and other such details. She even spoke to a few ancestors who were more open minded to work out some more of the...gritty details. 

Finally, at the age of eighteen moons, Shine became Shiningsoul, and in the valley of five mountains, officially became the leader of Mystclan.

She has no mate, and no kits as of this time.
