Mentors and New-Claws

River Colony is near to bursting with New-Claws in need of training! Good thing there is a large and robust group of Mentors to see to the task! It is typically the job of the Mentors to have a wide wealth of knowledge concerning all subjects an adult cat needs to know to be a good Ranger: Hunting techniques, best places to scout for materials, watching the weather, battle techniques, and so on. And these Mentors pass that information among each other so that knowledge isn’t lost. Cooperation between Mentors is key.

The Mentors of the River-lands have had their share of disagreements, however. Rapidsnap being the eldest Mentor has the most knowledge and authority, but she has been swayed by Rainfall’s opinion that training should be happening quicker and with more emphasis on obedience, personal responsibility, and results. Ferneyes, Cherryrill, Mistyclaw, and Swiftmask have little choice but to follow her lead, but with the amount of New-Claws to train, the result of this has been a young generation of cats that are rowdy and all fighting each other to be the best.

Most of the New-Claws aspire to be cool and in control like their dear Captain, and the Mentors have to find a way to work around that, for their own sake as well as theirs.

Rapidsnap-River Colony Mentor

Rapidsnap is maybe a little too absorbed in the lives of her kittens: she scolds Piketail constantly for being eccentric and having no mate, she praises Swiftmask for becoming a Mentor like her (even if he didn't choose it, Rainfall chose it for him, but that's another reason why Rainfall is the perfect Captain! She knows her Colony so well!). Rapid pities her other son, Minnowgill, for getting caught up with a cat like Splashmist and then choosing to be a Keeper. Rapidsnap means well, but she is quite nearsighted when it comes to the feelings of other cats.

The River Colony cats reference sheets for the Chapter One animation! These are fairly simple ref sheets because there was a lot of characters in the 1st episode. Just enough info to get the episode done, basically! haha Snap and I also knew the characters well enough to get by with just a simple cheat sheet. We now make much more detailed character sheets. Also, please ignore the WarriorCats lingo still present on some of this older art lol
