Could we see the other clan’s logos?

Hell yeah I can show the other clan logos. Plus bonus art bc I've been meaning to show y'all the other clan leaders!

[the-nightingale-sings]

Feared by all and the main top cat in the twolegplace, Nightingale was a fierce mother, but loved all her cats.

After an accident separates her from the twolegplace, she gathers her clowder and travels to the forest. Nightingale knew the risks with the group of cats already residing there, but she had to find a safe place for her cats. The leader of one of the clans, Wickedstar of HollowClan, did not take so kindly to this.

In an attempt to find shelter, Nightingale's group of cats helps aid HollowClan's refugees to take Wickedstar's leadership. Nightingale does not survive the battle, but she passes on the torch to Quill, her second in command.

Later that night, Nightingale visits Quill in her dreams with stars in her fur.

Orangestar looks like she’s ready to retire and needs to be a kittypet again so she can be pampered and spoiled for the remainder of her life

Velvetstar reminds me of a catfish and I wanna put them in a tank and watch them do their thing

Tornstar makes me think of a cookie n I wanna eat them (they have my favorite design of the leaders)

And Beestar… I respect their authority. I don’t wanna touch them or even look at them wrong. I am at Beestar’s service and do whatever it is they require of me until the end of my days (something seems royal about them and the kinda royal where it’s best you don’t question them haha)

(/pos for all of this btw they all look so neat)

Orangestar's definitely ready to retire. She's going a bit senile at this point and doesn't leave camp too often. Usually at gatherings nowadays, it's the deputy Rattlejay speaking for her, but Rattlejay is ALSO starting to get up there and is starting to think about her replacement. (I really need to draw the deputies from this era...)

I'm SO glad that Velvetstar makes you think of a catfish, that's what I was going for! The whiskers are a trait of FloodClan major family lines. Cats like Eddymist, I imagine, were adopted into the clan, thus no whiskies. She would escape captivity and wreak havoc.

Tornstar is one of my favorites because she's, like, one of those naturally five pound cats; she's tiny. But that doesn't stop her from hunting birds of prey with her clanmates. Plus, according to the game, she's clairvoyant and strange, so I imagine her as being incredibly intimidating.

Beestar is actually a very insecure cat! She's got a regal stone face, but is a wreck of nerves on the inside. I like to think that she suffered from terrible stage fright when she first became leader. Her mate Sharpdust is her deputy and her biggest cheerleader, they're very cute together.

Woodpaw, year 0

A former kittypet that lived near DuskClan's borders all her life, she suddenly takes an interest in NightingaleClan. What are these strange cats doing here? They better not do anything strange to her twolegs!

In an attempt to gather more information, Woodpaw takes on a clan name and joins the fledgling clan as an undercover agent for her owners. She's always quick to lend a paw... she needs them to trust her, after all. It's tricky sneaking back at night, but someone has to do it.

Orchiddusk, year 0

Another orphan raised by Nightingale, Dusk was one of her best fighters. Now that he's considered a "young warrior of NightingaleClan", Orchiddusk is willing to do anything to prove his worth to Quillstar.

Ravenstorm, year 0

An older cat, toughened by seasons living as a rogue, Ravenstorm (formerly named Raven), lost his mate when Quill was still very young. However, he decides to stay with his daughter and support her throughout her life. So when she gets a little too close to Nightingale's clowder, what else can he do but follow her there? (Despite his reservations about the matriarch Nightingale)

In a new territory, Ravenstorm is named Quillstar's deputy for his wisdom and guidance. Whatever happens, Ravenstorm will be there for his daughter, as long as she's happy.

Quillstar, year 0

After the death of Nightingale, Quill assumes leadership of the group of city cats. Despite her mourning, the new Eveningstar of HollowClan demands a proper clan formation before they are given a piece of territory. Quill agrees, and changes her name to Quillstar.

Quillstar had grown up on the outskirts of twoleg territory with her father, Ravenstorm.

Spiderfreeze, year 0

Formerly a kittypet named Maia, Spiderfreeze had gotten into trouble with a band of strays while wandering from home. She gets lost, and finds herself upon Nightingale's clowder. The cats seemed interesting, and before she knew it, Maia had joined in on the journey for a new home.

She choses the name 'Spiderfreeze,' inspired by the other clan cats. She's still a little childish, much more interested in petty drama than feeding Gorsekit, but she has a good heart.
