ohhhh could u introduce the new characters from shut eye?? at least the cat that was with larksong and foxjaw

Absolutely!!

I've actually introduced the one with Lark and Fox before, their name is Ospreyclaw and they're the clan deputy, as well as Larksong's previous mentor and Foxpaw's current mentor. The leader at the time, who shows up in several frames, is Orchidstar.

Another cat that I've introduced before and shows up in the background a few times is Buckfoot, the clan's healer at the time and Owlpounce's mentor:

A few of the other background character that appear are ancestors of many current-day micaclan cats:

Heroncall later becomes the mother of Gullytuft and Possum (which means she's mudpaw's grandma!), Oriolewing ends up as Robinsong and Wrentail's mom, and Addereye is connected to Sandleap in some way that I haven't decided on quite yet. I actually haven't decided on if addereye is a boy/girl/other yet either lol

There are a few other recurring background characters in the video that I haven't fully fleshed out yet, including some of the other survivors!

I'm so sad of how near and lovely are Oriolewing and Heroncall together, like two good friends just to know how Oriole's son treats Heron's grandson :(((

I was wondering if/when someone would point that out! Oriolewing and Heroncall were close friends, and grew even closer after the destruction of their home, leaning on each other for strength. This companionship did not end up transferring to their descendants, unfortunately.

Raggedheart - long haired grey tortie tom

Family: Windcry (father), Dustyshadow (mother), Quietwhisker (brother) - now loner  Gender / Sexuality: tom / demiromantic bisexual  Personality: Sage, Mentor | Healer | Guide Backstory: Raggedheart had been stolen as a kit by an eagle, and carried far from camp. Dropped above the twoleg camp, four moon old Raggedheart found his way home when Starclan guided him to a loner queen who was returning to her home; a farm at the edge of the twoleg camp. When he returned, Smokeclan welcomed the loner into the camp to have her kits. She agreed, and they joined the clan. Raggedheart started his apprenticeship with Rookfeather soon after. Raggedheart has been speaking with Starclan since he was a kit and has been an enlightened mentor and guide in the ways of reading their signs for so long.  Ideal Partner: fellow medicine cat, leader, deputy, someone who wants to snuggle. A loner who admires the faith. Position | Clan: Medicine Cat | Smokeclan 

Oriolewing - fluffy calico tom

Family: Slowstrike (father), Cloudysky (mother), Canaryflight (sister), Softstep (uncle) Gender / Sexuality:  tom / bisexual  Personality: The Student | The Skeptic | The Nurse Backstory: it’s not that Oriole doesn’t believe in Starclan, he does, he just thinks sometimes they are just full of shit. Student to the famous Raggedheart, Oriole just thinks that being an old wise spiritual guide is lame as hell. He can be a good medicine cat without being all touchy feely, which is funny considering cats from the Fallen Forest and Starclan visit his dreams. He questions everything, and double checks answers for validity. Despite this he’s a gentle healer, and speaks softly to anyone feeling down. Clans best cuddle buddy, he is often scolded by his younger sister, though his uncle Softstep supports him.  Ideal Partner: he’s the “best friends brother” alright, boy-next-door, so gimme something around that, he would do well with someone who is chatty, and likes to gossip, must be philosophical, a die-hard Starclan believer would be fun too, he would also have fun with another med-cat apprentice. Position | Clan: Medicine Cat Apprentice | Smokeclan
