The tribe does have the plentiful forest, but find no need to have their camp so close to the Cave of Light and Stone. Their camp rests on the island just off of shore, and the cats use their climbing skills to use the fallen tree as a bridge to their camp rather then swimming.
In the center of the island, which isn’t that far, is the camp. Surrounded by trees as their canopy, many of the cats don’t mind sleeping under the leaves rather then in the dens, since sometimes they can get crowded.
The Fallen Tree inside the camp is used to make announcements. It looms over the Gazer and Rushers Dens which are made from bushes and stumps so that they can hear quickly.
The Nursery is a large hollowed out tree, which is old and well protected. The Sky Den, for the elderly is next to it so kits can easily seek out their favorite story tellers. Their den is made of a dip in the ground protected by brush.
There is a large amount of stones in the center where the sun catches.
Theres a large tree that has grown around and through a split stone whose roots help make good storage space inside where the Healer and Chief share their den. A crevice in the back of the den leads to a spacious area hidden by bushes and brush where the sick and injured are cared for.
"The darkness 'll be your protection. I'm always here, even after death. I'm ready to sacrifice myself for your peace. I fell into the darkness, saving The Church."
The Tribe of Dancing Leaves seem to have very observant and sometimes a little “spacey” in personality, as if always looking for a sign from the Spirits. They are the smallest tribe cats, with short fur, lanky small bodies with a graceful ability to weave through the trees as well as climb and jump from one to the next. They have powerful hind legs, but not so much strength in their forelegs; some even have curled ears or wiry fur due to the amount of loners that seek shelter in their woods and are accepted in their tribe. They have more earthy and natural shades of colors commonly, but have the highest chance of different tabby markings, points, and rarer shades. They are known to speak very quietly, as if their words would interrupt a sign in the wind, and have very good body language. It is rare to hear a Dancing Leaves cat shout.
Leader of the Tribe. More often then not the Mate of the Healer. Should the Chief wind up bearing kits while in charge, they give orders through the Runner while staying safe.
Runner - The next in line to become Chief, in charge of setting up patrols and punishment trials. While a Runner, the feline in position usually doesn’t sire or bear kits as they are expected to be busy tending to the tribe; not to say its never happened before. They are promoted from Rushers, but most Runners were at one point the Chief’s Gazer.
Healer - A skilled interpreter of signs from the ancestors, and mate of the Chief. They choose usually several Gazers under their teachings to that the Runner may choose their mate from the options given to them. The Gazers who are not chosen often become Spiritual Rushers and help the Healer in times of need.
Rushers - The main tribes force of hunters and fighters who help train the Gazers.
Spiritual Rushers - Rushers who were once trained to be future Healers. They can pick up signs from Spirits, and report them to the Healer. Alongside the Healer and their Gazer, they assist when needed.
Gazers - Those under four seasons who are being trained.
Life Givers - Toms and She-Cats who are nurturing the young members of the clan.
New Life - Young members under two seasons old.
Sky Watchers - The oldest and wisest members of the tribe who help council the Chief and Healer.
