Weedspeckle

more info below, potential spoiler warning! I use these character bios as a way to keep track of my SplashClan game which means that all the information is up to date with the current in-game events, not where I left off with the youtube series

Weedspeckle is one of SplashClan's founding members. She was born as Winnie, a former rogue, who joined SplashClan seeking companionship. She later became a warrior after being trained by Lightspots but was taken away by twolegs not long after. Thankfully, she was able to escape a month later thanks to the help of the StarClan Guide, Mintshade who guided her back to SplashClan and upon her return her faith and connection with StarClan grew.

Though she developed a close bond and some small romantic feelings towards Thunderisle she became mates with Brackenshade. She felt overlooked by Gannetstar as she had yet to have an apprentice but Brackenshade helped her get one, that being Whitepaw. Brackenshade left briefly after they got together which caused Weedspeckle to question their relationship but she later forgave him. She later recieved her second apprentice, Sparkpaw and had a litter of kits with Brackenshade; Nutkit, Brokenkit, and Icekit. Later, Weedspeckle disappeared alongside many SplashClan cats but she ended up in StarClan.

Detailed Biography

Winnie was born as a rogue but when she became six months old she was sent off on her own alongside her littermates however none of them stuck together. Thankfully for Winnie, shortly after she stumbled across the clans and decided to stick around as she hoped she would make friends. She was granted the name Weedpaw and was apprenticed to the warrior Lightspots. Initially, Weedpaw felt very underappreciated and insecure and felt as though she had no real companions even though she decided to become a clan cat in the first place for a sense of companionship. Three months into her training she was made a warrior by Gannetstar who named her Weedspeckle and honored her for her heart of gold.

As a warrior, she was compitent at her jobs, going out on patrol, guarding the camp, and helping reinforce the nursery with brambles. One day she went out on patrol with Brackenshade, Snapfern, and Thunderpaw and was caught in a twoleg trap that lay hidden in the sand of the beach. Frantically, she tried to escape but was taken away by twolegs before she was able to. Her time being in possession of the twolegs was terrifying but thankfully she was able to escape, running as far away as she could. Though she was able to get away from the twolegs she was left with a new problem, she was all alone and had no idea how to get home. It was then in her dreams when Mintshade came to her and gave her a message, "To find home you must follow the setting sun.'' Upon following the message, Weedspeckle stumbled across the ocean meaning that if she walked north she would eventually find SplashClan's camp! Weedspeckle returned to SplashClan a month after her capture, safe and sound.

Upon returning home, she reflected on her time away from SplashClan and realized what she really joined SplashClan for. She didn't care if she had friends, she joined SplashClan because she didn't want to be alone and here in the clans she would never be. Additionally, Weedspeckle's faith in StarClan grew a lot after she recieved a message from Mintshade and she became one of the more faithful cats in the clan. She grew closer to her former denmate, Thunderisle during this time and the two became very close friends and even developed some romantic feelings towards each other, though neither would act on this. At one point during winter, the two even started a snowball fight while guarding the camp entrance and by the end of it the entirety of SplashClan had joined in. It was times like these where she felt extra thankful to StarClan for helping her return home.

Weedspeckle was one of the many SplashClan cats who disliked Gannetstar. She hated her leadership but there was one decision she made that she agreed with, Brackenshade being elected deputy. Weedspeckle greatly appreciated Brackenshade and she found him to be a very kind and responsible guy. Not only that, but like many cats in the clan Weedspeckle had romantic feelings for him. While most cats who were crushing on Brackenshade did so becuase he was the attractive, strong deputy of the clan, Weedspeckle did so because she appreciated him for who he truly was. Brackenshade on the surface was a serious, tough tom-cat but on the inside he was soft and kind. He enjoyed telling terrible jokes and Weedspeckle seemed to always be the only one laughing at them and it got to the point that he would specifically tell jokes aimed at her. The two grew closer and he opened up about his own insecurities as deputy and she wished she could take all his burdens away. Eventually, Weedspeckle and Brackenshade told each other how they felt and became mates.

It was during this time when Weedspeckle had realized she hadn't recieved a single apprentice in her entire time as a warrior. Many cats in the clan had even gotten multiple at this point and yet Gannetstar continued to pass over her. She confronted Gannetstar about this and Brackenshade stepped in to deescilate the situation and promised her that she would get an apprentice the next possible chance they could. Brackenshade of course kept his promise and Weedspeckle became the mentor to Whitepaw, Thunderisle's adopted son, shortly after. She felt incredibly thankful to Brackenshade for what he had done for her Weedspeckle and Brackenshade spent the next few months getting to know each other until suddenly... he dissappeared. Thankfully he wasn't gone forever but he returned with another cat alongside him, a former kittypet he had found named Jumble who became a SplashClan warrior named Jumbledapple. Brackenshade explained to Weedspeckle that he was under so much pressure as deputy that he needed some time away and happened to come across Jumbledapple. Weedspeckle believed him but she was hurt, why hadn't he even told her he was leaving before he left?

She began to rethink her life. Were her and Brackenshade really meant to be? Her concerns grew and grew until one day she was swept out to sea by a tide. She was thankfully rescued by the patrol she was on but was stuck in the medicine den recovering for multiple months. Brackenshade came to visit her every single day and this made her realize how much he really cared for her. He apologized profusely for leaving and promised he'd do anything to make things better. Weedspeckle loved Brackenshade too much to refuse his apology and the two continued their relationship, just as happy as they had been before. Weedspeckle throughout it all was still jealous of Jumbledapple but she knew that she hadn't done anything wrong and kept her feelings to herself. Even though Weedspeckle had spent a good chunk of Whitepaw's training in the medicine den, he appreciated her as a mentor and had somehow picked up on her strong connection to StarClan. Whitestrike recieved his warrior name the same month that Weedspeckle had fully recovered from the water in her lungs. Though the two weren't very close, the two liked and respected aech other.

A while after this, Weedspeckle caught whitecough during an outbreak and as the months progressed her sickness only got worse. First becoming greencough, then becoming yellowcough. Thankfully though, she was able to fully recover. It wasn't long after her recovery when she recieved her second apprentice, Sparkpaw. Unlike her relationship with Whitestrike, she and Sparkpaw grew very fond of each other through his apprenticeship. Towards the end of Sparkpaw's apprenticeship she learned news that she couldn't have been more excited to hear. She and Brackenshade were expecing kits. She had decided fairly recently that she had wanted to have kittens and she could hardly believe that this was going to be a reality.

Sparkstep recieved his warrior name which allowed for Weedspeckle to head to the nursery to prepare for her litter. She felt so incredibly happy and Brackenshade of course shared this feeling. It was when Weedspeckle was 71 months old that her three kits were born and together with Brackenshade they named them Nutkit, Brokenkit, and Icekit. Raising her kits with Brackenshade allowed for Weedspeckle to feel a way she had never felt before, she felt so delighted by every little thing in life. Eventually Nutpaw, Brokenpaw, and Icepaw were apprenticed however it was only three months after that when something bizarre happened. Weedspeckle alongside a large portion of the cats of SplashClan disappeared one night without a trace. Weedspeckle ended up in StarClan afterward but to this day it's a mystery as to what happened.

Game Events

There may be some minor adjustments/changes made from the game events/in-game timeline in order to make the story more interesting or make more sense

Month 0: Weedpaw is an eight month old SplashClan apprentice, currently being trained by Lightspots.

Fun Facts

Weedspeckle's favorite food are frogs

Timberspeckle, one of Brackenshade's daughters with Lightstar, is named after her

She was the 25th SplashClan cat to die and join StarClan

Weedspeckle's character song is "Pure As The Driven Snow" from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Her voice claim is Cotton Cookie from Cookie Run: Kingdom (voiced by Cherami Leigh)

Originally Weedspeckle was planned to have been the one to take down Gannetstar or succeed her as leader due to her thinking she was part of a prophecy. In the end however, I interpreted this as her being given a prophecy by Mintshade that allowed her to return back to SplashClan after she had been taken away by twolegs

Moon 1 -

Our story begins with Lightpaw being apprenticed to Foxstripe, the young cat warily touching noses with their new mentor before being quickly whisked away to patrol the territory. Lightpaw returns to camp exhausted but happily settles down to tell Moonkit about everything they saw out in the world. Inspired by his friend's adventures, Moonkit sneaks out of camp that night to explore the territory. It isn't long until Hazelfur tracks him down, and once she decides that his bruises aren't too terrible she gives him a proper scolding.

The next day Foxstripe, Cloverblaze, and Lightpaw come across a rogue attacking a loner while on patrol. The cats face off with the longer, leading to Lightpaw having to spend some time in the medicine den to recover. Cloverblaze brings the injured loner back to camp, who introduces herself as Frostflight the former OspreyClan warrior.

Moon 2 -

Cloverblaze begins spending more time with Foxstripe, much to Lightpaw's displeasure. While the two chat on patrol, Cloverblaze is too distracted to notice the fact fae has stepped into a twoleg trap. Yikes...

In much lighter news, Whirlstar announces that she is pregnant and will be moving to the nursery. She thinks of the life she left behind and the mate she lost in the storm... And silently vows to raise these kits to be warriors that they would be proud of.

Moon 3 -

Just as Lightpaw finally heals from their injuries, the heat of the greenleaf sun causes a small fire in the dried herb stores. Thankfully no one is injured... But the herb stores are no more than a pile of ashes. Weedstripe is, understandably, devastated. She is just thankful she thought to smother the fire with wet moss.

Foxstripe notices that Lightpaw is acting... Different. They're less excitable and curious, seeming like they're always somewhere else. Foxstripe is no stranger to duller feelings and sits his apprentice down, offering them an ear to listen. Lightpaw confesses that they feel like a failure, spending their first two moons of their apprenticeship in the medicine den all because she failed to win a small fight. Foxstripe immediately insists that they are being ridiculous, the odds were stacked against them in that match up and had they had a chance to properly train, they wouldn't have lost. He reassures Lightpaw that he sees how hard they're already trying at their training, and shares stories of when he was an apprentice and felt the same way. Lightpaw feels a bit lighter after the conversation, taking note of Foxstripe's advice to be kinder to themself and to remember that their clanmates were there to protect her when she fell.

Moon 4 -

Moonpaw is apprenticed to Hazelfur, excitedly running to Lightpaw to celebrate with his friend. Frostflight is now up and moving, but seems to have a permanent limp. Whirlstar gives birth to Splashkit, named in honor of his late father.

Moon 5 -

The following moon is relatively quiet, with only a few minor arguments between Lightpaw and Foxstripe. Moonpaw's training is going well.

Founders Introduction

As the dust finally settles, the survivors of the Great Storm gather to assess the damage to the clans. The original three clans- OspreyClan, KestrelClan, and CanaryClan- are no more. 7 of the survivors make the trek north in search of new territory not yet destroyed by the Great Storm and all diseases that came with it. All lands seem to be devastated, but thankfully the 7 cats find somewhere salvagable to call home.

First, our protagonists: Moonkit and Lightkit. Of the 7 members of MythClan, the two kits among them do not remember life before the Great Storm. Lightkit was 3 moons old and Moonkit was just born when MythClan was founded, leading to them being adopted by the remaining warriors around them. The pair are quite close, playing with one another and bonding over being the only kits in the camp(He/They and They/She respectively).

Next the leader of MythClan, Whirlstar. Originally a CanaryClan warrior named Whirlclaw, she was one of the first storm survivors to propose the idea of forming new clans. Whirlstar is fiercely determined to protect her new clanmates and forge a better life for the cats under her leadership(She/her).

The MythClan deputy, Cloverblaze, supports Whirlstar's efforts in leading MythClan to a secure and successful future. When she isn't fulfilling her duties as deputy, she is looking after her adoptive daughter, Lightkit(She/fae).

Don't let her age fool you, Weedspeckle is more than capable of looking after the well-being of her new clanmates. Weedspeckle is a deeply devoted and caring medicine cat, taking great pride in her work and checking in on her clanmates often. If you have a strange dream, she is your best bet at figuring out if its something you should look into or just shrug off(She/her).

Hazelfur is MythClan's most popular resident, with quick wit and charisma for days. While she can have a mischevious air about her, she takes great care to support her clanmates, especially her adoptive son Moonkit(They/Them).

Of MythClan's 7 residents, Foxstripe is probably the strangest. Where his clanmates tend to be rather upbeat and friendly, Foxstripe tends to come off as a bit of a pessimist. Something about him seems a little haunted... Perhaps we should keep an eye on him.
