Spikefur
Spikefur! He is a new apprentice in Bramblestar's Storm, and is Pinenose's mate by A Vision of Shadows. Despite being a young father he acts like a senior warrior and teams up with Scorchfur in the undemining of Shadowclan leadership. He is the second voice in deposing Rowanstar and takes a strong stance in favor of Darktail. He is portrayed as a very protective mate to Pinenose, who loves to see him, but is pretty dismissive to most of his kits, with the exception of Puddleshine, who he leverages their kinship to keep the medicine cat with the rest of Shadowclan and the Kin instead of leaving with Rowanstar. Spikefur remains with the kin until darktail is deposed and killed, and is reported to have left with the remnants of the kin. It is later revealed through Yarrowleaf and Sleekfur that the tom got sick and died because the remnants of the rogue group refused to gather herbs or care for him.
His head tufts are based on these cats, which may be explainable as cryptic chimeras, or as another unique genetic phenomena:
???
He's one of the only characters who's been described with little fur tufts on his head which is so cute but unfortunately I love giving cats hair so he is no longer unique
Anyway he's a "might makes right" kinda guy who was very pro-Darktail before he died in the Kin. He was pretty arrogant and liked to take power where he could, especially after his brother became deputy and he became really jealous. However, he was a good mentor to Yarrowleaf and taught her as best as he could. I'm not sure how I want all the Kin stuff to go down yet so idk how he dies but it is a result of Kin stuff

reworked Yellowfang family tree!
as always, lots of inspiration taken from bonefall's trees, however his shadowclan tree hasn't yet been finished. I took bits and peices from scattered posts haha
i use bone's 3 strict rules for fixing trees, with the tweak that characters must be more distant than second cousins to be compatible, rather than first. most important to know is the Queen's Rights.
I don't consider Stumptail's decendants as YellowKin, as their connection to Yellowfang isn't relevant anymore. They were included here for the sake of showing the whole tree.
