Snapfern

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

Snap was born as a kittypet but found her way to the clans after being saved by Jadezinnia and Lightgale. She accepted the warrior name Snapfern and cared for a kitten named Longkit. She became Longpaw's mentor and went through a period of feeling lost but regained purpose when she helped punish her friend, Lightspots, alongside Gannetstar. She later became Gannetstar's mate and the two had a son named Patchoulikit

Snapfern felt disconnected from her son due to Gannetstar and they later took their son as an apprentice, causing extreme fear in Snapfern. She later retired to the elders den and realized the error in her ways, feeling the cost of seeking approval from Gannetstar. She later disappeared alongside many other SplashClan cats, joining StarClan.

Detailed Biography

Snap was born as a kittypet and for a good while spent her life as just that and never thought to be anything else. She spent her days lounging around outside and chatting with the other neighborhood kittypets until one day she was chased by a dog away from her home. In the end she escaped by running up a tree but she was badly hurt by the dog and was too scared to return home. After wandering for a while, she was found unconscious by Jadezinnia who brought her to the other future clan cats. The cats most skilled in healing were failing to save her until Gale arrived. Gale, later renamed Lightgale, had extensive knowledge of herbs and was able to find what Snap needed in order for her to recover. It was because of this that she felt like she had to stay and help out in order to thank him and everyone else for saving her life.

She spent the next few months recovering from her injuries, certain that she would return to her twolegs until a little kit was found by the clan cats. The kit was named Longkit and since he was being taken care of in the temporary clan medicine den he was raised right alongside her. As Longkit got older, Lightgale decided to task Snap with caring for the kits since she was well enough to walk around now. Though she liked caring for the two older kits, Thunderkit and Sagekit, she felt a bigger connection between her and Longkit.

After the BloodClan-affiliated rogues were driven out of the territories, Snap was conflicted. A part of her longed to return home to her twolegs but another part of her wanted her to stay and take care of Longkit. In the end, Longkit was able to win her over and she decided to stick around and become a SplashClan warrior. She accepted the warrior name Snapfern and adjusted to warrior life relatively well. Though not the most skilled cat in the clan, she was competent and was able to contribute just as much as everyone else did. Eventually when Longkit was nearly old enough to become an apprentice, Snapfern approached Gannetstar and Brackenshade about getting to mentor him herself and thankfully the two agreed to let her mentor him.

It was in the fifth month of SplashClan’s existence when Longpaw was apprenticed to her. Overall her time as his mentor went by without too many issues and throughout it all they remained pretty close. The only problem was early on in his apprenticeship, Snapfern dislocated her leg by slipping on a wet rock but she was thankfully able to recover quickly and Longpaw’s training wasn’t halted by her injury. Soon enough, Longpool became a warrior and Snapfern felt as though the one thing keeping her in the clan didn’t need her anymore. Longpool had grown up and could survive without her being there, so what was the point?

She felt alone. Though she had friends she only trusted Jadezinnia enough to talk to and confide in. Lightspots was incredibly friendly and a great companion who she loved dearly but he wasn’t exactly the type of cat she’d want to approach about her problems, and Longpool of course was her apprentice and she never saw it as appropriate to go to him. Lastly, Brackenshade and Lightgale were just as friendly and trustworthy as Jadezinnia but the thing stopping her from going to them was their closeness to Gannetstar. At one point, Gannetstar had overheard one of her conversations with Jadezinnia and hadn’t been overly receptive towards the idea of Snapfern being uncertain about clanlife.

To keep her in the clan, Gannetstar gave her another apprentice. Icypaw, Gannetstar’s own daughter was chosen and overall their relationship as mentor and apprentice wasn’t as easy as it had been with Longpool. Icypaw’s childish nature as an apprentice led to her being hard to give orders to and she was incredibly unreceptive towards Snapfern’s teaching. In the end, they didn’t end up hating each other thankfully. Icywhisker became a warrior and began to feel fond towards her former mentor, even picking up some small manerisms and quirks from her.

Though things have ended positively with Icywhisker, she was right back to where she was before, feeling as though she had no purpose. She tried her best to continue living as a warrior but as the months went by it became harder and harder for her to do so. She tried to help her clanmates in overcoming their own struggles but nothing was making her want to stick around. One day, Lightspots stood up to Gannetstar during a clan meeting and told them that their leadership was causing conflict in not only SplashClan but with their neighboring clans, HeatherClan and HazeClan. Gannetstar took this as a challenge and decided to punish him herself, but not alone. She ordered Snapfern to help her punish him and she complied, desperate for anything at all to give her a purpose. Gannetstar and Snapfern physically punished Lightspots in front of the clan but all three in the end were injured with Snapfern reciving facial scars from the fight.

Snapfern felt terrible for hurting her dear friend but she felt conflicted. Gannetstar noticed her and gave her a purpose. How was she supposed to leave now? In the following few months, she felt more at home in SplashClan than she ever had, even if for a good chunk of this time she was stuck in the medicine den recovering from her injuries. Gannetstar’s daughter, Icywhisker had just died and her other daughter, Jellyfishspeckle had recently been taken away by twolegs and Snapfern felt the need to be there for her and comfort her, bringing the two clanmates closer than they had ever been before. The month after she recovered she recieved her third apprentice, Boughpaw. Overall, she and Boughpaw didn’t have an overly close relationship but at the same time the two respected each other and she watched proudly when Boughdawn became a warrior, happy to have been the one to train her. It was during this time when Gannetstar gave Snapfern a job, a job that no other cat in the clan had. Snapfern was to eavesdrop on the cats of SplashClan and report back to Gannetstar her findings. Tornrun, Thunderisle, Jadezinnia, and Longpool were the first cats she was instructed to spy on and throughout the whole job she felt incredibly guilty, but at the same time she felt as thought she couldn’t give up this opportunity, not after she was so desperate for a proper place and role in SplashClan’s society.

It was after this when Gannetstar approached Snapfern and asked her if they could be mates. Snapfern was shocked by their question but accepted the offer without question, she had feelings for Gannetstar but she would’ve never thought Gannetstar would reciprocate. She spent the next few months incredibly happy, just wanting to experience clan life and help her friends until something terrible happened. Longpool died as a result of a broken jaw. Snapfern was heartbroken. Longpool was her apprentice and one of her closest companions and as a result she fell into a deep period of mourning. Though she was able to eventually get back on her feet and get back to work it wasn’t long after when she realized she was expecting kits. It was around this time that she also recieved her fourth apprentice, Scorchpaw, though she was unable to spend much time mentoring him herself.

Her and Gannetstar’s only son, Patchoulikit was born. She felt so happy. As Patchoulikit grew and grew she couldn’t help but see the similarities between him and Longpool however she was unable to care for him as much as she should have been. Gannetstar had broken down as a result of SplashClan’s failures in their war with HazeClan and Snapfern, as their mate, felt like it needed to be her to comfort them. As a result, Snapfern ended up spending more time with Gannetstar than her own son. Eventually, Patchoulipaw was apprenticed and Snapfern felt comforted knowing that there were so many responsible warriors in the clan who were willing to mentor him; however not a single one of them received him as their apprentice. Gannetstar took it upon herself to be Patchoulipaw’s mentor. The clan was furious at her decision but Snapfern felt differently. She wasn’t angry or frustrated with Gannetstar, she was terrified for Patchoulipaw. Gannetstar had two apprentices before, Sagepeak and Quietpaw and they both died incredibly young. Snapfern feared that her own son would meet the same fate. As a result of her stress and growing age, she decided to retire to the elders den.

Patchoulipaw grew and grew, inheriting Gannetstar’s bloodthirsty nature and Snapfern could no longer see Longpool’s sweet, loving personality in him. Patchouliprickle was made a warrior earlier than he should and this act made Snapfern realize what a terrible mistake she had made. She felt more drawn to Gannetstar’s approval and attention than Lightspots, who loved her just as much and would’ve certainly cared for her even more. She had ignored him and now it was too late. She had found her place in the clan, but at what cost?

Only three months after Patchouliprickle was made a warrior, Snapfern disappeared into the night alongside many other cats of SplashClan, her son included. Though her cause of death is unknown, she went to StarClan.

LightningClan Moon 38-43

Moon 38

A kittypet named Zell joined the Clan, and her Clan name is now Greyminnow. Lightningstar PLEASE stop adopting cats there are so many.

To be fair, since LightningClan is actively at war with all its neighbours, maybe it's not a bad idea to keep growing the ranks, but still.

A patrol found an abandoned kit and adopted her, giving her the name Quickkit.

ALSO a kittypet named Cheeto Puff joined the Clan along with her kits. Her Clan name is Lizardleap, and her kits are Timberkit and Eaglekit.

Lizardleap:

Timberkit:

Eaglekit:

AND a former kittypet named Pebble joined the Clan as well. He currently has whitecough, but if he lives, as per usual, Lightningstar will give him a Clan name.

Moon 39

Jumpdrift has decided to move on from Heatherheart. We'll see how this goes, because Lightningstar made that resolution MOONS ago about Bloombrook, and he has utterly failed so far, but we'll see.

Snowpaw has been made a full warrior with the name Snowshadow. I believe that despite her earlier doubts, she has decided to remain a warrior, with the understanding that due to her permanent condition, she will need to be more careful about her activity than some other warriors need to be.

Additionally, Lilackit is now Lilacpaw apprenticed to Bubblesplash, Featherkit is now Featherpaw apprenticed to Lizardleap (which may suggest that she is not interested in spending much time in the nursery, though she did bring kits to the Clan), and Snailkit is now Snailpaw apprenticed to Snowshadow.

Moon 40

Weedshade made it home!

It has been a particularly rainy greenleaf, and the Camp flooded, killing Quickkit and Silverkit.

Daisypelt's leg was badly injured by a twoleg trap, and he is healling up from that.

Skykit is now Skypaw apprenticed to Grasshopper, Thunderkit is now Thunderpaw apprenticed to Greyminnow, Timberkit is now Timberpaw apprenticed to Jumpdrift, and Eaglekit is now Eaglepaw apprenticed to Blazetail!

Pebble is healed and is now Pebblefade!

Skypaw's tail was injured on patrol.

Lilacpaw's ear was torn by a dog

Moon 41

An injured BrindleClan warrior named Birdclaw, presumably sent away, joined the Clan in exchange for healing. Despite us being at war with them. The injury is a cat bite, so maybe he got in a fight and was driven out?

Fogstripe is expecting kits! Presumably with his mate Hawkflare, but we'll see.

Oakpaw is now Oakdawn, full medicine cat of LightningClan!

Smokeheart is back on warrior duties, but walks with a limp due to his old dislocated joint not having healed properly.

Flutterwhisker was bitten on the BrightClan border, and Bubblesplash had his leg mauled.

Moon 42

Eaglepaw is transmasc! I love him so much.

Fogstripe has moved into the nursery

Smokeheart's joint pain was so bad this moon that he struggled to get out of his nest and complete his warrior duties. Acknowledging that he wants to continue serving his Clan and does not yet wish to retire, but that doing so as a warrior is no longer something he can do comfortably, he has elected to become a mediator.

We took in ANOTHER loner. This one is named Mora, though they have taken on the warrior name Gorsedapple

A loner named Greenshade also joined the Clan. I like to imagine that she came with Gorsedapple.

Moon 43

Speckleshine, Greyminnow, Pebblefade and Lightningstar have whitecough

Fogstripe and Hawkflare's kits are born! Dustkit, Primrosekit, and Aspenkit!

Dustkit:

Primrosekit:

Aspenkit:

Birdclaw, Flutterwhisker and Daisypelt have both healed from their injuries, but Daisypelt's mangled leg was so badly damaged that it became infected and ultimately had to be amputated, and he is suffering from phantom pain in the missing limb.

Jewelbrook was killed by a fox. A patrol found it and Flutterwhisker dealt it a fatal blow.

Jumpdrift was taken by twolegs.
