I'll stay here with them, if any Clan will have us.

"Spottedpelt is a slender, dappled tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat."

"Well, that's a funny story, actually. I knew Petalshade's littermates were in StarClan, and I feared they would have no one to look after them... I found them following around this poor ThunderClan warrior named Spottedpelt! She was very nice, but, well... clearly not interested in being a queen. I was happy to take them off her paws."

"They're doing very well now. It took moons to get Patchkit out of the nursery in our StarClan-camp... but I take them on little hunting missions around the territory. Larchkit's a natural swimmer." -Reedshine

"Why would we be jealous of Petalshade? She doesn't get to go on patrols with Reedshine every day!" -Larchkit

"Yeah... R-Reedshine is nice... But I miss mama..." -Patchkit

Skyfall Art-ober Day #11: Relevant Sky-kin Family Tree

Took a break from new designs today to instead make a family tree for the characters I’ve posted over the last few days. I left out Sedgecloud’s kits and Silverblaze’s kits, but they’ll get designs over the next few days. Birdflight and Cloudstorm will get full body designs as well.

Quick reminder of canonical equivalents: Cloudstorm = Cloudstar, Orchidbloom = Spottedpelt, Lichenshade = Gorseclaw

Notes & Other Stuff

* On Page 19 of StormClan’s Folly, Stripestar reflects on how he’s been leader for 12 moons. 

** On Page 28 of StormClan’s Folly, Galestar tells Pebblenose that she’s been leader for 4 moons.

***Cats that didn’t go with StormClan:

Birdflight (?)

Crowflight

Curlkit

Dustflower (?)

Fawnpelt

Gorseclaw (?)

Grassfoot

Gustwhisker (?)

Russetkit

Spottedpelt (?)

Yarrowflight (?)

(?) - Birdflight and her kits are only mentioned in the allegiances. The same goes for the elders. However, the text mentions that there are elders in StormClan during their travels, so it is possible that they decided to go with StormClan rather than remain in the forest. 

****How I imagine the lines of descent for the former SkyClan cats:

Gorseclaw → Beetail → Thornfang (OC, Squirrelwhisker’s littermate) → Adderfang → Spottedleaf

Spottedpelt → Frecklepelt → Oakstar →  Pinestar → Tigerstar

I talk about the family ties a little more here.

Part two of the redraw! As you can see this time I'm bringing new faces and new connections.

One of the things that started annoying me about the OG tree is the fact how many cats just show up for a book and then dissapear without a word. I know that the "Mapleshade is the grandchild of Cloudstar and Birdflight" might be a reach but I kinda liked that idea, could also explain her ideas as to why her kits would be important etc.

A second big change is Petalkit surviving and becoming Petaldance, haven't thought much about it, I think she was just lucky, mayby she clung to a big branch and ended up somewhere further down the river. Then she decided to follow it upstream and ended up in Thunderclan's camp. And well- This child survived drowning, then showed up in Thunderclan, it *has* to be a sign, right? Thos I dont think Petaldance would have any strong connection to anyone in the clan, mayby Nettlepaw being the exception.

Canon Poppydawn is a dark red molly but I couldn't make her orange for multiple reasons; 1. Both of her new parents are dilute, meaning she can only be dilute 2. I made her a tortie because of her kits, specifically Thistleclaw the Bastard Man. He's gray, if Poppy was a cream cat, he would have had to be red too.

As you can see, Thistle, Rose and Sweet are fatherless. Yeah, Windflight lost his father priviliges, we don't need toms having multiple partners, it makes the tree into a bush! Having unknown father is actually cool and ties more into the early "Queens don't have to say who the father is" thing.

Rosetail's tail is red only becaue I liked it more.

Also, there is a second branch coming from Gorseclaw... I wonder where it goes... :]
