Chapter One is here!

And we finally meet our protagonist Oriolepaw! She and Linnetpaw were the first kits born after the formation of Duskclan by their mother, Haretail. She's got a thirst for knowledge and enough energy to last for days. I hope you all enjoy her as much as I do.

A lot of this chapter was me figuring out a workflow and the formatting I want to use for this project. If it isn't obvious already, a lot of my inspiration comes from Barrenclan (Which you should absolutely read if you haven't)

As most first chapters are, this is mainly setup and character establishing. But it won't be long until we start moving this story along! Feel free to send any asks my way if you've got any questions :)

CATS & CLANS, WELCOME TO THE STAGE….

H O O T P A W of CreepingClan!

Played by: Mod Crisis

Unlike most of her peers, Hootpaw seems to be the bravest cat in the whole Clan. Readily throwing herself into chaos and action for the sake of her benevolent moral code. Though, you won’t catch her actually spending time with other apprentices, as she prefers the company of more seasoned cats— when they aren’t reprimanding her for her dangerous antics, that is.

You can meet Hootpaw in first opening of CreepingClan, coming this month!!!

Continuing with the modern WindClan cats, it's official Good Boy from Crowfeather's Trial, Hootwhisker.

You can find the reverse side of his design here.

Hootwhisker has no physical description given other than his pattern, so I came up with my own for him. Most WindClan cats are skinny, but when I look at a cat with his name, I think of a squater, sort of owlish cat with a round head, thicker build, and big round eyes. So that's what I went with. ^^ Maybe he's not pure WindClan, or he just got a bunch of recessive genes. XD I used this image as a reference.

For his pattern, Hootwhisker is described as a dark gray tom. He has no canon eye color, so I gave him super light yellow eyes.

Overall, I'm really happy with how he turned out.

Finished Hootpaw on zulius's base. Hootpaw is a cinnamon ticked tabby tom with a white V on his chest and blue eyes. His resting face is a wide, observant look and a soft smile. Hootpaw was mentored to Mitebreeze for about the entirety for a moon before coming down with a heinous kitten cough infection, sending him careening downhill till he just couldn't keep going. He's joined Honeystream in Starclan, but hasn't earned a warrior name as he's not considered the first dead for the Clan. (Think like black dog/church grim rules)

I don't understand what the purpose of bloating the patrol searching for Nightcloud was. 3 characters should have been the max, either Breezepelt, Crowfeather, and Hootpaw OR Brezzepelt, Crowfeather, and Heathertail. And even then the third would be kind of a spare.

[dawntilduskclan]

Question, what are everyone's pronouns? I want to ask questions but don't know how to refer to DuskClan :((

Ah that's a good point! I'll be sure to add that info to character reference sheets when I post them in the future. But for now I'll just list the characters we've met so far

Oriolepaw: She/Her

Linnetpaw: He/Him

Nightstar: She/Her

Duskstar: He/Him

Haretail: She/Her

Cormorantblaze: She/Her

Pinecloud: She/Her

Hootpaw: He/Him

Sootpaw: He/Him

Blackhawk: He/Him

Spiderwolf: She/Her

I believe that is most of the named cast so far. Though if I did miss anyone just let me know. Also, not everyone's pronouns will stay the same throughout the story :)

Rubbleclan Moon 2

Whisperkit is apprenticed to Shadestar!

Shadestar's a little worried that she wont be a good mentor, but I believe in her.

Runningquill and Hootpaw went training together and Hootpaw literally critized Runningquill's training technique to his face? Luckily, Runningquill just rolled his eyes, feeling annoyed and a little amused by the sheer audacity of his apprentice.

Nothing else really happened this moon. (Inkypelt is still injured tho :( ) Thanks for reading!

Naming Ceremony (short story)

Alderstar lay upon the fattest low hanging-branch of an alder tree, though one would be forgiven for not being able to properly identify it with every leaf blackened and scattered upon the ground. Grousemane had suggested the location for his ceremonies and meetings long ago–it was easy to remember. Alderstar would be found at the alder tree. Not to mention its height, standing out among the other massive trees, was useful in finding the place. It was helpful, too, that it was in eye-view of the Eye-Out Thorns, though far enough for the more faint-hearted to feel comfortable.

Once everyone was gathered, he rose and spoke loudly across the small space. “Welcome, kin and friends.” So many ceremonies like this had passed that he had forgotten what words would have been spoken when he was alive and the leader of Shadowclan. Something about their warrior ancestors, he’s sure. But those were taught to him by his father and the leaders before them. These are his own words. Every leader who gives names gives them with their own words.

Alderstar had even gotten into a routine, too. Or perhaps it is better to call it a tradition. Because he no longer lived in a Clan and was much less likely to know the traits that some cats had, parents who planned to have him do the naming would inform him. Sometimes when they were about to become ‘paws, sometimes when they were kits or even expecting. 

Alderstar would then occasionally watch the kits train, observe them. He would take time to speak one-on-one with the parents, mentor, and the kit themself. It was a good way to pass the time. He found he greatly enjoyed having something to do, too he greatly enjoyed thinking up warrior names, and he was satisfied with the ones he picked out for this batch.

“Today, we honour six apprentices, who defied their fate long ago. Had the Stars had their way, they would have remained small and defenseless.” The faces of several of the apprentices–namely Smallpaw–snarled at the idea. “We are not the Stars,” Alderstar said with pride, his chin lifted and chest puffed out. The families and mentors in the crowd purred in agreement. “We defied them, we defied the logics of death, and we grew. Now, we shall honour the growth, the strength, and the courage in these six young cats, now ready to become full warriors of the Place of No Stars.”

Yowls of excitement rang around the clearing. Alderstar waited patiently for them to calm down before going on. He had plenty of time. “Antpaw, step forward.”

Antpaw did as told, his steps shaky and his eyes round. “For your resistance against fate, and your heedful nature, you shall from this day forth be known as Antgrove.” 

He was happy to see Antgrove’s worry-edged smile quickly shift to one of delight as he dipped his head, and moved to the front of the crowd. All names had to have meaning, that was Alderstar’s rule. Antgrove loved to explore groves. It was where he was the most comfortable, where he felt the most peace. Alderstar had hoped that by giving him the name, he was hearing that his introverted nature was not only being noticed, but celebrated. Judging by the look on his face, it had been heard.

“Smallpaw, step forward.” 

Smallpaw’s reaction was much different. His body was tense, clearly it took a lot for him to pad forward gracefully and not simply race to the open space in which he would stand.

“For your resistance against fate, and your fierce bites, both real and metaphorical, you shall from this day forth be known as Smallclaw.”

Smallclaw’s smirk was broad. He took a moment to bask in the attention before he dipped his head and padded to sit beside who might have once been his brother. Alderstar wasn’t sure, all he knew was that the kits separated because of the different views they had on their deaths and crime.

“Hootpaw, step forward.” Alderstar had to hold back a smile as the name reminded him of his lovely mate. He was definitely going to nuzzle her and Myrtlewing once this ceremony was over. 

Hootpaw padded forward patiently. His ears were pricked and he looked up at Alderstar with interest and patience. Alderstar had wondered a long time how to convey THAT in a name.  “For your resistance against fate, and your ability to follow the wind so long as you see fit, you shall be known as Hootbloom.” Hootbloom’s eyes shone with a hint of pleasure, and something more beneath that.

It was good. Flowers bloom at different paces, some slow, some fast, but they all open up in the end. The same went for the kit. He had patience that astonished Alderstar, but the patience was for himself–he only felt it because time mattered only to him. He was slow and easy when he wanted to be, and fast as a frog’s tongue when he wanted to be. He bloomed when he wanted to bloom, it was no one else’s choice. This name was a way to announce it.

“Cinderpaw, step forward.”

Cinderpaw raced to the spot before Alderstar had finished the final word, her eyes wide and bright, and her fur dusty from the run. Kiteburn huffed in irritation where he sat with his and Cinderpaw’s family.

“For your resistance against fate, and your ability to see the heart in everyone, even when cold ice surrounds it, you shall, from this day forward, be known as Cinderrose.” The colours differed in meaning. Alderstar imagined the pink and white ones, happiness and innocence. Those were the two words that always sprang to mind whenever he thought of Cinderrose. She was an eager young cat, always ready to learn and make new friends. Even then, he could see the trauma that she was pushing away. He didn’t want to make her think about it now, or anytime she heard her name, so he stuck with the positives. Perhaps she could find help or figure out how to accept her past now that she didn’t have so much time taken up by training.

“Flarepaw, step forward,” Alderstar continued once Cinderrose was seated beside Antgrove, Smallclaw, and Hootbloom.

Flarepaw was slower. He didn’t look afraid, more curious, like he was still shocked that he could really be receiving his warrior ceremony even though he had died as a kit. Alderstar gave him a reassuring smile. “For your resistance against fate, and the justice that burns like fire in your paws, you shall, from this day forth, be known as Flarelight.” It was a double-name, what flares brings light, but Flarelight does in two ways as well. He brightens the space wherever he is, making jokes and always making sure that everyone is as comfortable as can be. As well, he never looks away when he notices that someone is being mistreated, even by a single whisker. He sheds light on the situation until it is solved.

Flarelight’s whiskers quivered in delight. He took a moment to grin at his father, Cricketclaw, before joining the line.

“Lavenderpaw, step forward.”

Lavenderpaw was not slow nor fast, she moved at an even pace, though stumbled a few times as she was unable to remove her gaping gaze from Alderstar in the tree above her. “For your resistance against fate, your way of hearing sorrows and spreading joy, you shall from this day forth be known as Lavenderspring.” It was another name with two meanings, one indicating the spring Lavenderspring always tried to bring to everyone’s steps, and in symbolism to the body of water, gentle and comfortable, which she always tried to be to those who needed it.

There was one more part of the ceremony that had to be done. He leaped from the branch and padded toward Antgrove. “Are you ready?” He asked.

Antgrove’s voice quivered. “Yes. I would like it by my tail.”

“Stand.”

Antgrove did as told. He sucked in a breath, and Alderstar laid a claw across his skin. He dragged it down deep enough to last, but not enough to cause serious damage. Then he laid another, smaller mark beside and just across it. “You are a true warrior now,” Alderstar told him. He repeated the markings onto the other newly-named warriors on areas of their choosing, before backing up and addressing the crowd once more. “Let us call out their names, and tell the Stars they have no strength here.!”

“Lavenderspring!”

“Antgrove!”

“Smallclaw!”

“Flarelight!”

“Hootbloom!”

“Cinderrose!”

================================

I will be explaining how the kits differed when the grew, and this claw ceremony thing! Basically really, it’s different leaders conducting ceremonies mark cats they named. I figured in the Dark Forest, that wouldn’t be frowned upon at all. Alder’s marking is like a branch with a thorn on it.

LotusClan Year 16

Newleaf

Mistlebreeze and Rushfall have become mates.

While on patrol, Saplingwhisper was washed into the sea. Tulipfur leaped in to save him, but was unfortunately washed out into the sea and drowned.

Drizzledapple returned to camp with a litter of 3 kits (Amberkit, Pinekit, and Bluekit, all female). Alongside him is a loner named Chirp. He announces he and Chirp were mates, and the kits were his. Swiftstar welcomes them with open paws, and gives the loner the name Chirpfleck.

A moon later, Rainshell brings a litter of 4 kits back to camp. He names them Cliffkit (female), Graykit (male), Jaykit (male), and Hootkit (male). When the Clan asks him where they came from, he announces that a JayClan queen was killed by a fox and he found her while she was dying, and took them in. While Swiftstar doesn’t want a war with JayClan, he goes to meet with their leader. However, the kits’ mother had mated with a BurdockClan cat, and neither Clan wanted them, so LotusClan keeps them.

Sootpaw and Sappaw have reached the age of six moons, and are made apprentices. They are mentored by Rushfall and Rootburst respectively.

Raccoontooth knows he will always love Beaverheart, but he has decided to move on.

Greenleaf

Lilackite has decided it is finally time for her to retire. Smokesplash isn’t ready, but Lilackite waits.

A hawk attacks the camp. Apricotclaw saves Sparrowflight from the hawk, but is injured.

A young rogue waits on the border. His name is Frog, and he asks to join the Clan. It’s revealed that he once had an affair with a BurdockClan cat, and that he was trying to find somewhere to live. Swiftstar welcomes him, but the Clan is wary.

Leaf-fall

Apricotclaw, Sneezefeather, and Pouncesight have all been very resistant to retiring. However, Swiftstar approaches them and tells them the Clan would not think less of them for retiring. They decide its finally time, and join the elders.

A kittypet named Dorothy asks to join the Clan. Swiftstar is open to welcoming him, but the Clan is beginning to grow weary of all the outsiders that have joined as of late. However, it is revealed StarClan sent the kittypet to join him. Swiftstar gives the kittypet the name Hornetsting, and he becomes a medicine cat.

Sootpaw and Sappaw earn their warrior names of Sootwhisker and Sapsplash respectively.

Meanwhile, Amberpaw, Pinepaw, Bluepaw, Cliffpaw, Graypaw, Jaypaw, and Hootpaw are all apprenticed to Rainshell, Sootwhisker, Pheasantsplash, Serpentstripe, Ridgeheather, and Snailfur respectively.

Chirpfleck announces that she and Drizzledapple are expecting kits.

Leafbare

In the quiet of the nursery, Chirpfleck and Drizzledapple welcome a litter of 3 kits: Ravenkit (female), Pearkit (male), and Copperkit (male).

Mistlebreeze travels to LarchClan and JayClan to resolve border disputes between the two.

Swiftstar calls a meeting to honor Minnowstripe’s service to the Clan. He retires peacefully to the elders' den.

extras from my full “canon” the fourth apprentice allegiances (kits and apprentices throughout oots)

so like i said oots is particularly terrible at tracking apprentices. literally every apprentice listed in the allegiances of tfa earns their warrior name by the forgotten warrior (except boulderfur) but the erins only cycle in four new apprentices total across the non-thunderclan clans and none of them are ever listed in the allegiances

because of the timeline of oots, (assuming that these apprentices are all six moons old in the book they first appear in) none of them would have been born by the start of tfa

but! if you wanted to know when cats would approximately be born during oots, i charted that (thunderclan not included bc we know when everyone is born in thunderclan)

shadowclan:

stoatpaw/stoatfur - an unlisted apprentice during the last hope. becomes a warrior before dovewing’s silence. assuming they’re a year old in dovewing’s silence, probably born around fading echoes. (also is maybe two different cats)

grasspaw/grassheart and spikepaw/spikefur - apprentices in dovewing’s silence and then warriors by avos. assuming they’re six moons old during dovewing’s silence, probably born around/during the forgotten warrior

riverclan:

heronpaw/heronwing - an unlisted apprentice during the last hope. becomes a warrior before dovewing’s silence. assuming he’s a year old in dovewing’s silence, probably born around fading echoes

lizardpaw/lizardtail, havenpaw/havenpelt, and perchpaw/perchwing - apprentices in dovewing’s silence and then warriors by avos. assuming they’re six moons old during dovewing’s silence, probably born around/during the forgotten warrior

windclan:

larkpaw/larkwing and crouchpaw/crouchfoot - announced as apprentices during the forgotten warrior and become warriors before dovewing’s silence. probably born around night whispers. as a note, larkwing’s littermate featherpelt does not become an apprentice until dovewing’s silence, and stays an apprentice until avos. why? idk. but they are littermates so she was also born around night whispers

slightpaw/slightfoot, hootpaw/hootwhisker, and oatpaw/oatclaw - apprentices in dovewing’s silence and then warriors by avos. assuming they’re six moons old during dovewing’s silence, probably born around/during the forgotten warrior
