Was playing Warriors Clan-Gen and had to draw one of my favorite leaders. She was too pretty not tooooo..

[hinterland-clans]

the leaders of riftclan! there's information about each under the cut :D

Shardstar (Shard of White Stone, he/him): the founder of Riftclan, Shard was once a prey-hunter of the Tribe of Rushing Water, sent with a group of his Tribemates on a quest to help the Clan cats. While most of the Clan cats settled in the safety of the woods, his group embraced the mountainside as home. He was often doubtful of his abilities as a leader, but was wise and thoughtful. His leader mark is a white chest stripe.

Goldstar (Gold Falling Feather, she/her): born soon after the journey to the mountain territories, Gold was one of the first true RiftClan cats. she was intelligent and witty, and established the warrior divisions in Riftclan. her leader mark is stripes under her eyes.

Quietstar (Quietleap, she/her): proud, determined, and singlemindedly protective of her Clan, Quietstar began as a strong, well-regarded leader. However, she tended to quickly spiral out of control in times of trouble, her anger and worry for her Clanmates getting the better of her judgement. When the Clan fell weak to a famine, and the other Clans refused to spare the little food they had, Quietstar led a crusade against the other Clans that ended with her being struck by lightning at a gathering battle. She wanders the Dark Forest, silenty contemplating her actions. Her leader mark is a white paw.

Violetstar (Violetsky, they/she): chosen as Quietstar's deputy because they would never question her actions, Violetstar began as a young, impressionable leader. While always ready to assist their Clanmates with their problems, they also tended to disregard rules in favor of their own desires. Her leader mark is a white tail stripe.

Patchstar (Patchtail, he/him): as Violetstar's half-Pineclan son, Patchstar often faced silent scorn from his Clanmates. In response, he was usually aloof and angry with those around him. He had a soft side for his mate and his daughter, Sunpaw. When Sunpaw was murdered by Blackflame, Patchstar's faith in his Clanmates was further challenged. He carried this distrust for the rest of his life. His leader mark is spots on his flank.

Rubblestar (Rubblefur, he/him): Rubblefur was a thoughtful, contemplative, and humorous cat who was well-respected by the other Clans. However, he was often gossiped about for his supposed nepotism towards his children, especially Spirepeak. His leader mark is a pale belly spot.

Spirestar (Spirepeak, she/her): proud and quick to anger, Spirestar was originally discounted as a young, unqualified leader of her Clan. While the war with GlenClan was instigated by Ashenstar, she matched his ferocity to create a long, arduous conflict. As she got older, however, she grew into her role and traded her temper for bold nobility. Her leader mark was a white chest spot.

Screestar (Screeclimb, he/him): a cat who has faced adversity since an accident left him with a dead foot and brain damage, Screestar is tenacious and wise. While intimidating on the outside, in reality Screestar is a huge softie, and is always willing to help those in need. His leader mark is freckles on his shoulders.

Slatestar (Slatepatch, she/her): once ambitious, Slatestar sometimes wonders if leadership is truly what she wants from her life. The Clan's worldviews have hurt many of those she cares about, and it seems that, though she is leader, she has little power to help them. But she is determined to use her position to change her Clan's traditions and values, to help them become more open and accepting of change. Her leader mark is a grey circle on her back.

End it before it even starts [SHORT STORY]

Slatestar coughed up black gunk as he surfaced from the oily pond, throat aching with soreness and legs feeling like they were going to collapse. He already knew where he was, it didn’t take much time to guess- The Dark Forest stood before him, imposing trees and a dark sky out as far as the eye could see. And he already had visitors. Eyes gleamed out of the darkness at him, one of which taking a pawstep forward- A low hiss emanated from the undergrowth, and he snarled in return- But suddenly, something barreled into his side, knocking him off of his paws and out of breath.

The elderly tom wheezed as he tried to get up, only to hear a high pitched hiss and see a dark-furred, lanky cat move in front of the eyes staring before them. “He’s ours.” She said, her raspy voice full of hatred. Lunarpaw.

He started to get up, only to get his head slammed down onto the ground again- And a cream tom moved back, soft blue eyes full of uncharacteristic anger. “Slatestar.” He spoke, and Slatestar gasped as he looked up to see Beampaw. The murderous apprentice was expected to be here- But not her best friend. Lunarpaw stalked up to Beampaw’s side, her claws unsheathed and tail lashing from side to side. “We were expecting you.” She started, striding forwards- Beampaw moved in sync with her, his voice wavering for a moment before losing hesitation. “It took us a while to be ready for your arrival.” He said quietly, but piped up. “But now you’re here!” He said, a hiss underlying his voice.

He tried to scramble back, only for his rear to bump into a tree. “Don’t try and run- We’re faster than you, know this place more than you.” Lunarpaw said with a growl, taking more pawsteps forward. Suddenly, she lunged forward- Gripping his paw in her jaws, and with a turn of her head-

Snap.

Slatestar let out a half-hiss, half-shriek of pain, snarling at the she-cat. “You wicked Foxheart-!” He started, only for her to laugh. “Oh, the irony! You, of all cats, deserve to call nobody wicked.” Lunarpaw backed up with an ominous chuckle, striding forward in sync with Beampaw once more.

“This is for all the cats you left broken and bleeding.” She started. “For all the kits that grew up suffering under your rule.” He continued.“For all the parents who knew their children were never coming home, thanks to you.”“For all the cats who tried to set peace, only for you to rip them apart.”“To all the cats who had to grow up fearing for their lives.”“And we won’t allow your tyranny to continue here,” Beampaw snarled.“So we’re stopping this problem before it even starts.” Lunarpaw’s eyes glowed in the darkness, like a monster’s lights.

“May you never rest in peace,” Their paws rose together, “And may you find nothing but nightmares waiting for you, wherever we shall send you.”
