Full character design- #2

Erin Hunter character- #2

WC character- #2

*[ design info ]: Her ears where choped a bit by frostbite and a bit by birds of prey, and her paws are also a bit worn out by frostbite but also walking on rough, hard and sharp stones of the mountains. She also has a few broken & missing teeth from gnawing on bones. She holds golden eagle's femur in her jaws, and theres also this bird's feathers on the ground.*

AU's info/ headcanons:

She's Snow Hare's sister,

and Sharp Hail's mother, and in my AU he's Quiet Rain's ex-houseband,

So, by that meaning she's Clear Sky's & Gray Wing's grandma <3

ps. I made her a bit simillar to Clear Sky

It is unfathomably frustrating to me that Jayfeather not only constructed the Tribe, not only constructed the position of Stoneteller, but ALSO constructed the very idea of interpreting omens themselves

Right, no one else in this culture had ever seen a weird natural coincidence and thought there was some supernatural explaination? They never thought their ancestors might be trying to talk to them? Never???

And never in Half Moon's life was she EVER aware of her ancestors? They didn't even have a concept of being more connected to the spiritual world?

Sure, granted, maaaybe their ancestors aren't powerful enough yet to show themselves

Maybe Jayfeather made a bad pick by shoving his girlfriend into the position without considering anyone else more in tune with nature

But jesus christ man. She can't even have the idea to SEND CATS AWAY on her own. Lion's Roar has to suggest it FOR her. God forbid women have agency in this book series.

Bright Stream's Death

----

I've started reading The Sun Trail, I'm on Chapter 7. I personally like it so far, but that might change because it's just traveling. I've been thinking about how I could possibly change some deaths, like Fluttering Bird's and Bright Stream's as they are the only cats who've died.

(I haven't gotten to Bright Stream's death yet but it'll be in a few pages and Broken Feather also died but he's staying dead).

It'll go either 2 ways:

Clear Sky wouldn't let her. They just found out they possibly could be parents and Clear Sky is so excited, of course he wouldn't want his mate possibly getting hurt or worse. Despite her protests, he holds her back and Gray Wing runs to chase the eagles away. Possibly i could have him get grabbed or I'll have another cat take her place, that does mean Tiger Tail and Pale Sky live! (or whatever I decide to change their names to). I don't really know how Storm and Clear Sky will work but I'll probably have it be like an Aspen Whisker/Smoke situation. Also, Storm does live and Gray Wing might take her place. That means Thunder has three moms! (Storm, Turtle Tail, and Bright Stream. And possibly Slate.)

or

2. Goes in a similar way but Bright Stream goes with Gray Wing and does grabbed by the eagle but frees herself.

(Also was thinking she does get carried off by the eagle but she lives, gives birth, and dies. But I don't think I'm gonna do that.)

Dawn Of The Clans

- The Sun Trail

I'm going to be discussing my thoughts of the first book of DOTC here.

First things first, I had been reading Power Of Three before I started this saga and so far I found it very much boring, the cats are fighting over useless things, other than that not much has happened (haven't read the last two books of POT) so starting DOTC was a nice and refreshing change in the story line and I had been looking foward to reading about how the clans came to be.

Summary-

The cats from the Tribe of Rushing Water are having a hard winter due to the large amount of cats in the tribe and the little prey, many of them are dying until Stoneteller gets a prophetic dream of a sunny place where prey never runs out.

She tells the tribe, some want to go on the journey, others hate the idea. In the end those who want to go on the journey to the place where the sun rises may go and those who doesn't may stay.

Gray Wing's brother, Clear Sky, wants to go but he doesn't. After Gray Wing's younger brother runs away hoping to catch up with the Sun Trail cats Gray Wing makes the decision to look for him and bring him to safety in the new territory.

Cats die during the journey and Clear Sky's partner is carried away by an eagle, making him depressed.

The cat who was leading the travelling cats also passes away and Tall Shadow is asked to be the new cat to lead them.

They finally reach the new territory and set to live in the moor, exploring the place they find other cats living there, mostly hostile. Clear Sky decides he wants to leave to the forest as he likes it better there, some cats agree with him, Gray Wing is once again separated from his brother as he stays with some others in the moor.

A cat named Storm is expecting Clear Sky's kits but after seeing how hostile and manipulative he has become she leaves 'his' territory. Next time we see her she passes away and only one of her kits survives, Thunder. Clear Sky disowns him as he reminds him of Storm and Bright Stream (her other partner who died on the journey) but then Gray Wing decides to parent Thunder in the moor with the other cats.

Also forgot to mention but Clear Sky becomes really hostile towards any cat who crosses into the forest because apparently it's now his and if there's any cat in his base who doesn't follow his orders or can't cooperate exactly like he wants them to he exiles them.

Opinions-

Gray Wing- I personally really really liked him at first, I like how he thought for himself insead of doing what others told him to and how the reason he left the mountains was to make sure his little brother was ok. He was kind to the cats of the tribe and always made sure others were safe, as well as he never really got extremely angry with anyone, Clear Sky would be reminding his younger brother of how stupid his actions had been but Gray Wing just accepts that the past cannot be changed.

Once they get to the new territory he is kind to the stray cats there even if they try to be hostile towards him and tries to learn about them. What I didn't like is the way he completely ignores Turtle Tail and dismisses her feelings, every time he tries to make things alright he just makes them worse? But anyway, I just hope he isn't ruined in the next books.

Clear Sky- During the first chapters I didn't understand why everyone hated him so much... now I do. I didn't dislike him at first, sure he wasn't the best and kinda made Bright Stream join the Sun Trail thought she didn't seem to like the idea much but he was alright.

After him and Gray Wing talk and become close once again I liked him but after he leaves to the forest and begins to call the territory his... gosh.

He gets a bunch of cats to fight if anyone sets foot in the forest and kill them if needed, he doesn't let some cats leave the camp and doesn't let the cats from the moor come to visit their own family, they drive them out and call them prey stealers. Then when Jagged Peak gets hurt he claims the "medicine" cat from the moor and doesn't let him out of camp until his job is done. Once he sees Jagged Peak is "just taking space" he exiles him, he was his brother.

Not to mention how badly he treated Storm and how he didn't care she had left when she was so close to giving birth.

Also he nearly makes his guards kill his brother and when he kills one of them in self defense Clear Sky gets mad??

My overall opinion on the book is that I liked it, I like how the cats are described, Tall Shadow as being quiet but speaking smart things when she has to, Wind and Gorse are so cool and I love when they befriend the Sun Trail cats. I really liked them relationship between the travelling cats and what happens to them, I think it was a nice break from POT as I was getting a bit bored from it so yeah!

I hope Gray Wing doesn't become more annoying on the next books aoqidbqlidjdq
