Can we get more info on Holly and Ember's relationship? What about Lamprey and Elm's? I'm also curious about otterpaw and that kitten that had a prophetic dream earlier in the comic, I don't remenber their name.... Only that he had the biggest hair bang... Love them honestly

oh oh sure :D!!

Emberstorm + Hollycloud: These two!! Actually have a lot in common! Their fathers died when they were young (Burnetpelt for Holly, Skipperscale for Ember+Copper), they had close family members who were manipulated by Snowstar (Gorsefang and Copperclaw), and also their personalities kinda round each other out! Emberstorm is a rambunctious and pretty fiery lass, whereas Hollycloud is much more calm and level-headed (he’s very slow to anger -- i think the only time he actually got vicious in the comic itself was when he smacked snowstar in the face and the final battle scenes). They’re already pretty close friends, having bonded through their loss of a parental figure, and eventually Emberstorm helps Hollycloud move on from Otterflower (the two still remain best friends of course :>) and she+hollycloud end up as a couple instead ^v^! very very quick rundown but i dont wanna ramble too much, but theyre a very fun dynamic i hope i can explore some more in writing and art ! an underappreciated friendship :]  Lamprey + Elm: They were pretty close when they were younger. Elmfoot was surprisingly nice to Lampreyface (for reasons unknown to either of them, Lamprey’s pretty sure it was just because she was pretty and could kick his ass); he was a bully to other cats when he was younger, but when Lamprey was around she usually tempered his shitty attitude and she was quick to comfort cats who he picked on (like gorsefang.... gorsefang resented her for a little while but came back around to her when she stuck up for them, and then grew closer to her when their sons became best friends). Elmfoot had signs that he was a shitty dude but with how sweet and doting he was to Lampreyface, she hoped it was just a kinda “jerk with a heart of gold situation” -- when they had kits and Elmfoot started acting weird, she got suspicious. When it was found out how he was treating Otterpaw, Lampreyface flew off the handle and had to be restrained from almost killing him during his exile -- she’s pretty disgusted with him and how he hid his true colors, and if she ever saw him again (which she does eventually) it’d be on sight :’) it still hurts her though because he had been so kind to her at first, the shift came slow but terrifying nonetheless so shes got complicated good memories as well as horrible horrible memories with him. shes opted to just not talk about him at all though which is why lamprey never told cricket about her father 

Otter + Cricket (the kitten with the prophetic omen in the beginning): Cricketkit is Otterflower’s baby sister! She was born like, a little bit after Elmfoot was gone (he was exiled at the very beginning of Lamprey’s second pregnancy). Otterflower absolutely adores his baby sister and since he was training to be a caretaker during her time in the nursery, the two of them were exceptionally close and he absolutely adored her (and she’s probably the closest to him out of any of her brothers). Eventually, Cricketpaw would be apprenticed to Cuckoochirp which Otterflower would naturally greatly support -- her full name was gonna be Cricketshine due to her knack for prophecy and omen deciphering / openness :]c

13 for vervainstripe, 31 for lampreyface, 38 for plumstar and 32 for cuckoochirp!

HI SORRY THIS TOOK ME SO LONG TO ANSWER i have not been on my laptop on tungle dot heck :sob:

Vervainstripe13. what skill do you wish you were better at?- Vervainstripe’s pretty content at where he stands as a warrior (he really prefers to do his own thing or just chill in the background) BUT he has a really big fixation on the supernatural/ “unexplained” things so in all honesty he probably would want to be better at tracking or sleuthing so he could solve natures greatest mysteries

- fun fact (i dont know HOW many of these im gonna do): the oc that vervainstripe parallels is absolutely die-hard fixated on conspiracy theories so much to the point he moved to Arizona to go alien hunting; his theme song is Touch-Tone Telephone by Lemon Demon.

Lampreyface31. do you ever feel you receive too much attention from your clanmates, or not enough?- Lampreyface actually really loves compliments, but she can get irritated if certain cats hit certain topics, so whether she feels like someone is giving her just the right amount of attention or is being overbearing really depends on who’s talking to her and what they’re talking about (for example: she didn’t like the attention she got after her ex-mate, Elmfoot, was exiled from RiverClan – for reasons that should be explored in the comic ;3c!)

Plumstar38. are you close with most of your clanmates, or only with a select few?- Plumstar is actually pretty close with most of her clanmates! She’s seen as the “grandma” of the Clan and even the elders (who are her age pretty much) are pretty close with her – of course, not everyone likes her that much (i.e, Cootwhisker and her frequently butted heads, and Gorsefang holds a grudge against her) but she’s a pretty popular leader amongst Riverclan!

Cuckoochirp32. do you get along better with younger cats, cats your age, or older cats?- Cuckoochirp pretty much gets well with cats his age! He’s really super close with his siblings (Vervainstripe and Mintcloud) and he really loves to goof off and flirt with others around his age; he had troubles as an apprentice because his mentor honestly thought he was never paying attention hBFHFBH..

if this is a spoilery or weird question feel free to ignore it but what exactly did elmfoot do? was he just like… transphobic and taking that out on otterpaw? or was it like. worse. idk i hope this doesnt sound weird i just worry about poor otterpaws mental health and wellbeing as a fellow abuse survivor :( i care him

not spoilery at all dont worry! think ive actually mentioned it a while ago too :> but also AAAA he would care you too hes important :pleading emoji:

but! placing this under a cut because TW: discussions of physical parental abuse

elmfoot isnt transphobic! none of the season change characters are canonly homophobic or transphobic (i may make jokes about some of them being like that, but in canon, homophobia/transphobia isnt really a thing in the season change verse since they dont have the same gender roles and expectations as modern society)

HOWEVER, elmfoot does indeed value physical strength in a very toxic way. otterkit as a kitten was very small, scrawny, and weak, which made lampreyface and elmfoot pretty nervous; elmfoot started "training" him early in camp with some battle moves and exercising, which, although it raised a few eyebrows, it wasn't too rough and no one intervened yet. however, otterkit started expressing interest in being a caretaker but elmfoot quickly snipped that at the bud, and pushed otterpaw into being a warrior's apprentice

when otterpaw became an apprentice he was given to roseface, and elmfoot + roseface weren't exactly on good terms or even got along at all about otterpaws training because elmfoot thought roseface was being too soft on otterpaw. behind roseface's back, elmfoot started sneaking otterpaw out at night for private/extra training sessions, which involved claws unsheathed sparring & elmfoot got rougher and rougher. eventually, in the least graphic/vaguest way possible to detail, elmfoot's violence escalated to nearly drowning otterpaw in the river to get otterpaw to fight back on his own. roseface and hollypaw/duckpaw/emberpaw/cricketpaw caught elmfoot redhanded and rose promptly Beat The Fuck out of elmfoot, then when he was dragged back to camp he was exiled. otter was moved to a caretaker apprenticeship like he always wanted and is in his current recovery, but as a result of his trauma he can't swim and cannot be in the water on his own without some level of support. no one pushes him to get into water, and most cats will find either a. the driest route possible in the territory, or b. if they absolutely must cross across water, otter is carried/holds onto a warrior to get him across. that's only in extreme cases though; no one forces him to get in the water

#trigger warning #mentioned physical abuse #i try not to go into like. too vivid detail on it because i feel like thats gratuitous #but i do want to explain otters trauma and avoidance to water & how his clanmates assist him in his recovery and avoiding his triggers #that being said. this is written with the warriors version in mind -- in the new version of season change aka stand alone story its still #kinda the same except there are no mentors and apprentices. foxglove is an adult cat the students trusted enough to get help to investigate

[foxglovesound]

Does harrierpaw know how abusive elmfoot is 😭

posting beneath the cut since it mentions some of elmfoot's abuse vaguely!

yes unfortunately he's aware ! roseface, cricketpaw, hollypaw, duckpaw, and emberpaw caught elmfoot mid-act and roseface kinda wailed on him while duck went to go get help (bringing lampreyface and another patrol along in the process). when rose told plum about what happened and the apprentices verified it, elmfoot's actions were laid out for the rest of riverclan to know and he was driven out sooo yeah harrierpaw is aware

his reasoning for why he still keeps in contact with elmfoot though is that he's his dad and he feels an obligation, plus he always admired elmfoot as a warrior and it's hard for him to let that go. on the darker side, he also believes that elmfoot had good intentions in what he was doing which is uhhhhhh bad

🍂 w/roseface? curious about how his friend group has changed 👀

🍂 - does your character have a friend group? if so, who’s all in it? how does your character feel about each of them?

roseface's friend group now consists of minkclaw, hopflower, sootstream, and copperclaw! he's also on pretty good terms with lampreyface as his old mentor (so much so that she was the one who put in a good word for him to mentor otterpaw!), and while he's not besties with cats like nightthroat, vervainstripe, cuckoochirp, gorsefang, etc. etc., he's still on friendly terms with them if that makes sense! he might consider some of them friends and others just as acquaintances/clanmates, but he's definitely the closest to minkclaw, hopflower, sootstream, and copperclaw in his clan!

he also still has rookflower, mottlestorm, and swallowfang from windclan, though rookflower his more of his friend while mottlestorm and swallowfang are cats who weren't exactly best friends with him, but cared about him and hated seeing the way he was being treated [so. again, friends or positive acquaintances]

privetheart is still involved in the comic, but just like in the first draft of season change, roseface and privetheart meet in the comic itself

as for otterpaw, hollypaw, & emberpaw, who were part of his friend group in the original draft!! while i wouldn't go as far to say that they're friends, but they're still connected with each other in the same way most apprentices are with their mentors. roseface cares deeply about otterpaw (and was the one who kicked elmfoot's ass), and he became sort of a surrogate older brother/father figure for the otter/holly/ember/cricket/duck group since they don't really have figures like that in their lives! basically. roseface became the "jackass who softens up for these random ass kids he adopted" trope HFSBDHFDSF

#this. isnt like everyone obviously ill get more into roses dynamics in the comic #but yeah! notably smaller sorry! he doesnt have the same cross clan friend group because as fond as i am of it it made the cast WAY too big #and i was having trouble keeping up OTL so theres other clan cats that hes buddies with but not to the same extent yknow #roseface

[foxglovesound]

🐾, 🌲, 🛠️, 💡, 🌠(instead of whether they are religious or not, how they act and familiarize on their religion, if that makes sense?) for hornetflower, goldenscale, acornbee, lightingface

FIRST OF ALL I’D LIKE TO GIVE A GREAT BIG APOLOGY FOR HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION i wanted to put a lot of thought into my responses (despite how. unprofessionally i wrote them thats just bc i type lazy KFHDSFDDSF) so i took a day or two to mull over as well as comic pages were DRAGGING ON LATE this week q___q !!!! thank u for ur patience AND the interesting questions this was fun >:3c!!!!

🐾: Do they have any future goals?

HORNETFLOWER: Well, honestly?? I’d have to say no. hornetflower isnt a particularly ambitious molly, and she tends to just focus on her current, short-term duties and what she needs to get done. at the moment her main goal is to guide sootpaw to her warrior graduation and to help raise duckkit -- and see duckkit reach her own graduation, of course. however, being minkclaws most trusted confidant, hornetflower kinda makes whatever minkclaws goals are her own goals too -- shell support her friend through thick and thin

GOLDENSCALE: again not really! she doesnt really have any particular ambitions in life, nor is she training an apprentice that she needs to see make it to graduation. part of her does hope that one day she and gorsefang can reconnect, but the rift between them is wide and goldenscale has stopped her attempts at reconnecting with gorsefang after her sibling’s initial resistance. beyond that? not a very ambitious warrior either! her daily goals are probably just getting the word of whats the next hot gossip (u can usually find her sharing tongues and chattering with her fellow clanmates to get those little details hehe)

ACORNBEE: she wants to become the top warrior of riverclan, pretty much! acornbee dedicates her life to upholding clan tradition and code, and her dream is to just become the most admired warrior in riverclan, one that the leader (snowstar….obviously) can trust with her nine lives (supposedly). however, acornbee takes the code a little too seriously -- anything that the leader could ever ask of her, she’d do without a second thought.

LIGHTNINGFACE: lightningface’s main goal in life has become more focused on their career as now they and eveningscale are the senior caretakers and technically like the head ranks of the caretakers. they’ve also got a little bit of a surprise coming on later during the comic ;) and their main goal will be making sure that little group stays safe and is raised happily. 

🌲: What’s their favorite hunting spot?

HORNETFLOWER: probably by the rivers and streams! she enjoys either physically being in the water or amongst the stones overseeing the water flowing by, and she and minkclaw often goofed off together as youngsters around streams and rivers, so she has a particular affinity for hunting in those spots !

GOLDENSCALE: as her name suggests, goldenscale is especially skilled at fishing!! so her favorite hunting spots around the territory would naturally be the streams and river running through their territory as thats where she’s at her prime B)!!!

ACORNBEE: i dont believe she’d have a very specific hunting spot in riverclan, though i’d imagine she enjoys hunting around areas where there’s more shrubbery she can crouch behind and sneak up on her prey !!!

LIGHTNINGFACE: lightningface prefers hunting in the open parts of riverclan territory, where the trees thin out, or near the windclan border! they have a windclan-cat like build, and prefer chasing down prey out in open areas, rather than dodging around trees and shrubbery. 

🛠️: How do they best contribute to their clan?

HORNETFLOWER: hornetflower is a very kind, and nurturing, member of riverclan. besides the typical warrior-duty stuff, such as patrols and hunting, hornetflower also helps out a great deal around camp - she makes sure apprentices are staying safe and out of trouble, and often drops by the nursery to interact with the caretakers and kittens there. BASICALLY she’s a very warm molly and a role model to some, so she best contributes to her clan besides her warrior duties by offering advice and guidance for youngsters and even others her age :3!

GOLDENSCALE: as mentioned before she’s EXCEPTIONAL at hunting fish and streams, so she contributes the best to riverclan by stocking the fresh-kill pile with plenty of fish she can catch, as well as giving tips and advice to apprentices and growing cats on how to more efficiently hunt fish in the river and streams!! 

ACORNBEE: as a very obedient, task-orientated molly, acornbee best contributes to her clan in the smaller ways - she does what she’s told, when she’s told, and she does it thoroughly and properly. she makes sure she gets her tasks for the day done before any free time, and takes her responsibilities very seriously - she also works on the dens and camp setting a lot, making sure everything is secure and, if anything needs patched, she’s the first one reporting to the opening to patch it up! she’s just a busy little bee around riverclan pretty much hehe!

LIGHTNINGFACE: they’re one of the senior caretakers, alongside eveningscale, so they contribute to the clan most by taking charge of the nursery. they make sure caretakers are in order, especially apprentices, and make sure everyone’s staying safe and happy. one of the more important duties they have is keeping a note on kitten personalities and traits, because the senior caretakers often sit down with the leader before a group of kits is to be apprentices and give the leader their input on who should mentor which kit, and what career choices the kits have decided on. of course, the mentor-and-apprentice pair ups are the leaders final choice, but they usually do take the senior caretakers recommendations, and they of course make sure not to pair up a kit interested in becoming a caretaker with a warrior mentor or vice versa!

💡: Give a random fact about them?

HORNETFLOWER: hornetflower is the revamp of an old rp oc named Hopwhisker! I kinda miss the hop- prefix a lot honestly…. Anyways! she had 6 toes and was a scottish fold, both of which kinda got revamped to just big paws and floppy ears, but

GOLDENSCALE: originally she was part of the main group with lampreyface, hornetflower, minkclaw, blackcloud (before cootwhisker got in the way) and marigoldface! they were, conceptually, a very tight-knit friend group, but i ended up making lampreyface older than that generation and the group itself was feeling a little crowded so i broke it up a little. while they are all still friends they’re not like The Group as originally planned sdfhsdf! 

ACORNBEE: she is the second ever cat i used the -bee prefix on :D!

LIGHTNINGFACE: there’s a rumor in windclan that went around shortly after rosepaw’s apprentice ceremony/first apprentice gathering that lightningface was actually rosepaw’s sire - although there’s no real validity to that claim. lightningface just happens to look a lot like their nephew. 

🌠: Are they religious?

HORNETFLOWER: hornetflower isn’t devoutly religious in how she acts, so she doesn’t really pray daily or send her thoughts to starclan daily, but she will head down to the river (a common spot for most riverclan cats to stop by and pray without heading all the way up to starclan’s ledge, should they feel the need to pray for something) and pray for her friends or family if someone she knows is in danger, or battling an illness, or going out on a particularly dangerous job/duty/task. if a clanmate or someone she knows from a different clan has passed away too, she’ll sit down and send a silent prayer up to starclan, asking for her ancestor’s to welcome the aforementioned cat into their ranks securely.

GOLDENSCALE: besides just….believing in starclan, goldenscale doesn’t really do anything or behave in any particularly religious manners. she never really prays unless she feels it’s desperately, desperately needed, and you could probably count the amount of times shes prayed on one of ur hands. her religious behavior/familiarity extends to just simply knowing that there’s a place after death.

ACORNBEE: acornbee, on the other hand, is very attentive in her religious behavior. she typically takes a moment to thank starclan for a catch once she hunts prey down, and prays before she sits down to eat, typically again just a little thank you to starclan for blessing her with a meal. shes not shy when it comes to prayers for starclan, and often thinks to them for advice - however, in her eyes, the closest a living cat can get to communing with starclan outside of starclan’s ledge is the leader: the leader, in acornbees eyes, has direct path with starclan, and whatever the leader orders, it must be a will of starclan. it can be an unfortunate vulnerable way of thinking.

LIGHTNINGFACE: the most notable behavior they do when it comes to religion is the fact they will send a prayer up to starclan before every birth - its usually just a quiet, quick “let this cat and their kits make it through the birth” in their head before they settle down to help the cat in labor deliver kits, alongside eveningscale. they also tell kittens and apprentices lore and mythology, as well as about starclan, so that could also be a way that u can see how they act in according to their religion!!

28!

28. something about [them]

“Way to lose to a kittypet, Burnetpaw!” Elmfoot sneers from where he stands across the clearing, and one of the mentors overlooking the training session shoos him along, telling him that if he’s just gonna point and laugh then he can go make himself useful doing something else.

Gorsepaw hops off of Burnetpaw, trying to keep their dejected mood from reflecting in their expression, but to no avail - Burnetpaw catches on and lightly taps his tail against Gorsepaw’s.

“Don’t let Elmfoot get to ya!” The lanky apprentice grins, his nose crinkling up in that endearing way, “Ever since he got his warrior name, it’s like all the sense in his head got replaced by hot air and sheep fluff.”

Gorsepaw snorts at Burnetpaw’s comment, before eyeing the bushes that Elmfoot disappeared behind, still rustling from the previous moment, “I have no idea what Lampreyface sees in him.”

“Me neither,” Burnetpaw shrugs, “But he’s nicer to her than he is to everyone else. I guess there’s just something about him that she likes.”

There’s just something about him. That phrase strikes a cord in Gorsepaw’s chest and they don’t know why, they simply laugh and nod along and pounce on Burnetpaw once more, teasing him for not paying enough attention on the battle field. 

There’s just something about him. The thought echoes in Gorsepaw’s head as they trot back into camp, laughing alongside Burnetpaw, watching with a warming feeling blooming in their chest as the light casts Burnetpaw in a glowing golden light, almost as bright as his laughter is to Gorsepaw’s ears.

Went ahead and digitalized the RiverClan family tree - I’d like to digitalize the other Clans family trees, but those aren’t a priority just yet! 

More notes under the cut - if you have any questions feel free to let me know!

A generation is defined as a group of cats who’s ages are all within 6 moons of each other. The generations go as following 

Gen 1: Cootwhisker; Honeystream; Plumstar; Antfoot.

Gen 2: Beestorm, Lightningface and Sandwhisker; Eveningscale; Breamcloud; Briarflower.

Gen 3: Lampreyface; Elmfoot.

Gen 4: Blackcloud and Snowstar; Acornbee; Nightthroat; Hornetflower; Minkclaw and Chubstream; Craneheart; Vervainstripe, Cuckoochirp and Mintcloud; Marigoldface; Goldenscale and Gorsefang.

Gen 5: Copperclaw and Emberpaw; Darkpaw and Ivypaw; Hollypaw; Otterpaw, Shrewpaw and Harrierpaw; Cinder, Ashpaw, and Sootpaw; Rosepaw 

Gen 6: Cricketkit; Duckkit

Plumstar+Antfoot took so long to have kits because Plumstar was struggling to carry any pregnancies to term. Cootwhisker waited by choice to have kits, and ended up giving birth to Blackcloud and Snowstar only a few moons before Burnetpelt was born.

Copperclaw and Emberpaw are the same age, but Emberpaw didn’t get to rank up as a warrior because she broke her leg very badly a few days before her assessment was to happen. She had to put off her training to heal + is currently in the recovery stage; she’ll be receiving her warrior name once she’s fully recovered and can walk with her limp.

Morningclaw is Graystar’s daughter; I didn’t include Graystar because that would be the focus in WindClan’s family tree. Yellowstar, Thriftfoot and Campionfang are the same age as RiverClan’s generation 4 but they’re WindClan.

#obvs theres more characters from the generations such as gen 1 and 3 but theyre never mentioned or addressed in the comic sooo #i didnt go 100% in depth with those since again theyre not important to the story ajdjsdhf #family tree #family trees #riverclan #im not tagging all these characters uuu
