ivypool musings. i need their cat marriage to be loveless

whitestorm and bluestar

i like how whitestorm is always there to comfort and care for bluestar in the latter half of tpb as she struggles mentally :( it is sweet of him.

patch notes:

i changed my mind about ivytail (rc). i've moved her back to the warrior category and, instead, for the unnamed litter born this book, i have selected graymist and mintfur, purely because they look like they could be stonefur's kits. other options include pinefur, otterheart, rainstorm, duskfur, and icestar. all of these cats just appear in po3. graymist, rainstorm, pinefur, and otterheart never retire, just disappear. mintfur and icestar are mates so they shouldn't be siblings, and icestar shouldn't be quite this old. duskfur also really shouldn't be this old either, so those two i wouldn't choose for this litter, but all others would be fine :) for characterization, rainstorm and otterheart are racist

i was working on a dangerous path's allegiances, and over two gatherings tigerstar states that at least five kits have been apprenticed in shadowclan. i am choosing to believe two of these apprentices are rowanpaw and cedarpaw, but i needed kits for the other three. i picked wildfur, snaketail, and whitewater. wildfur is only mentioned by littlecloud as a cat who was alive while he was a medicine cat apprentice, while snaketail and whitewater show up in po3 and retire in avos, making this a semi-decent age for them. they three of them have been added to a forest of secret's allegiances as well as they likely would have been born earlier on during that book in order to be apprenticed in a dangerous path

i made full "canon" allegiances for the start of rising storm: link to google doc

this is a part of a series im doing where i've made the full allegiances for the first book of every arc in order. now i'm making allegiances for other main series books. these will not be adherent to the changes with the new graphic novels

here is the masterpost for all the allegiances

"canon" is in quotations because a lot of this is guesswork about who logically would be around at that point in time, but aren't listed in the allegiances or mentioned in the book

this is mainly meant to be a resource for fanworks

general stuff that's still the same as last time:

wiki pages are linked to character's names

med cat = cleric

characters are listed by age. where there are no concrete ages, i make my best guess

tc is the only clan without a "kit" rank as all kits born into or taken into the clan have known parents

generally if something like a rank change, a birth, etc happens in the first 1/3 of a book it will make it onto the allegiances. if it happens after, it won't. this is kind of up to discretion and case-by-case, especially for books that take over a very short period of time or a very long period of time

like last time, there's a lot of decisions to be made about prequel cats who just stop showing up. i'll be providing insight into why i believe that they're still around or not. check the previous tpb allegiances for more insights

there are quite a few contraindications regarding tigerclaw's fury, mainly concerning shadowclan. for why i have things listed the way i do, generally i will prioritize information from the main series, then super editions, then novellas, then extra sources

thunderclan

frostfur and brindleface - there are, like, minor scenes for both of them in this book where they declare that they are moving back to the warriors den but in the allegiances they are never moved back to the warriors section. i've done that

speckletail - snowkit is her only listed kit. i imagine that mistlekit has died by this point

willowpelt - moved to the queen rank and expecting kits

shadowclan

stumpytail - tigerclaw's fury establishes him as one of the shadowclan exiles, but he is one of the cats who attacks thunderclan in fire and ice. he is likely still in the clan

volewhisper - needs to die before blackfoot returns to shadowclan, as blackfoot is unaware that he survived

littlecloud and whitethroat - likely have not left shadowclan yet

applefur the first - disappears after tigerclaw's fury

brownpaw - he is in the forest of secrets and rising storm allegiances, but not in the tigerclaw's fury or a dangerous path allegiances. he also doesn't show up in tigerclaw's fury. he likely dies before tigerclaw shows up to shadowclan

oakpaw/oakfur - becomes a warrior by the next book

ashheart - her kits are purely missing kits semicanon and she does not show up in tigerclaw's fury. they are just here in case you need more bodies for carrion sickness fodder (the kits' missing kits cause of death) and all will be gone next allegiances. i did not have her as "expecting kits" in the last allegiances bc the length of time in forest of secrets is fully long enough for a cat to conceive and give birth during the book

rowankit, cedarkit, lavenderkit - rowankit is apprenticed to jaggedtooth (snag) in tigerclaw's fury, so he and his brother become apprentices soon. lavenderkit is a missing kit cat and dies of carrion sickness per missing kits

tallpoppy - throughout tigerclaw's fury she and other characters constantly mention how old she is? which is just untrue. she wasn't in yellowfang's secret and doesn't die until the great battle. she's probably super young

tigerclaw's nine lives ceremony - this was recently updated to show many of the disappeared shadowclan elders in starclan instead of cinderfur, tallpoppy (lives for many arcs), darkflower, and dawncloud (seen alive and well practically just pages before)

riverclan

rippleclaw and emberdawn - they disappear after nightstar's first gathering as a leader in fire and ice, so i've gotten rid of them. they had a whole winter to die of whatever. if they end up showing up in some other material during this time period i might add them back in but there is just generally a lot of prequel cat bloat in riverclan

mistyfoot and her kits - really, her kits are fully old enough to be apprenticed (they are older than cloudpaw) but they are specifically mentioned to be playing with featherkit and stormkit as kits themselves in leopardstar's honor. mistyfoot is also listed as a queen in both the rising storm and tigerclaw's fury allegiances, and they are the same age as gorsepaw, who is not apprenticed until late in the book

greenflower - disappears after forest of secrets and is replaced with mosspelt. per missing kits, her kits were stillborn and she died of greencough

tanglewhisker and birdsong - both likely died around the time of the flood last book

ivykit (ivytail) - unnamed kits are born early on in this book in riverclan to an unspecified cat. there aren't any new apprentices in the next two books, or any unaccounted for young warriors that show up in arc 2. ivytail is a riverclan elder who randomly shows up in twilight (her only appearance). i used to have her as a warrior in into the wild and beyond, but leopardstar's honor is, honestly, pretty good at at least mentioning its giant cast of grown warrior characters. her being one of the kits born here would make her around 3 years old by the time she is retired in twilight, but when has young age stopped a riverclanner from retiring? i think that keeping her as a warrior during this arc is also super valid, though riverclan is just overbloated with warriors from the prequels. swallowtail (rc) could also work as one of these unnamed kits but she is noted to be younger than mothwing and hawkfrost, who's parents haven't even met yet. there are plenty of she-cats in riverclan available to be these kits' mother

windclan

runningbrook - now a warrior

whitepaw/whitetail - becomes a warrior sometime during this book so that onewhisker can mentor gorsepaw

tawnypaw/tawnyfur - she is now an apprentice. she becomes a warrior by next book

gorsekit/gorsepaw - should be an apprentice by now, but he canonically does not become one until later on in the book, and onewhisker is still mentoring whitepaw

crowfur - he doesn't show up again after his singular scene in a forest of secrets. he is gone from the allegiances but he could still believably be around

unnamed kits are born later on in this book to an unspecified cat. unlike riverclan, there are young cats who just show up as warriors in arc 2. robinwing (wc), gorsetail the first, and also nightcloud. i will likely be chooseing robinwing and gorsetail as i imagine nightcloud to be a little younger, or just robinwing as there is gorsepaw (son of morningflower) this arc and having both a gorsepaw and a gorsekit might be confusing. there are approximately 6 she-cats in windclan at this point (depending on when you think sorrelshine rejoins the clan), two of them being apprentices at the start of this book, so mother choices are limited

cats outside clans

shadowclan exiles renamed to tigerclaw's group as that is probably more accurate at this point. they don't rejoin shadowclan until a little bit into the book

since cloudpaw is an apprentice, his siblings have been given their own cells

[dawnfinchh]

yeah thinking that nightcloud would remember something that happened in an arc before she was even thought of is asking a lot from the hunters

totally forgot that she was concerned about not having kits due to age. female cats stop being fertile around 8 to 10 years old. at the least she'd be as old as, like, mistyfoot and stonefur or onewhisker and his sisters. at the most, cats like blackstar and tigerstar. she'd be the oldest cat in the clans, and crazily determined to stay out of the elders' den. she just retired in changing skies

more than likely, her being concerned about her age was just a one-off comment the erins didn't think much about. they either didn't think much about cat biology, or nightcloud's age, or crowfeather's age (cougar nightcloud frfr), or were trying to make her seem irrational, or all of the above. if she was actually meant to be 8 to 10 years old at that point they should have retroactively included her in prequels. onestar's confession doesn't mention her until the forest starts being destroyed

it could be interpted that nightcloud was worried she was getting too old for her first litter, like for her life plans? if i make her part of this litter born to windclan in rising storm, she'd be about 3 by the end of tnp. a year older than crowfeather. a lot of the she-cats in the books have their first litters around that age

@a-kinda-boring-writer

wrt me saying i think nightcloud is younger than the unnamed windclan litter in rising storm, those kits wouldn't be old enough to be apprenticed by everything with tigerclan, lionclan, and bloodclan but would be definitely old enough to remember a lot of it, and we never get any inkling that nightcloud does.

of course cats don't remember what happened last book, let alone last arc, so this may be asking a lot. she could have fully been around for it all and just never mentioned it. idk. does anyone have any thoughts?

some general patch notes for the tpb allegiances

snag/jaggedtooth was not a bloodclan cat but a rogue who joined tigerstar and then joined bloodclan. his placement has been adjusted

i had clawface on the forest of secrets allegiances even tho he dies in fire and ice bc he is mistakenly alive in tigerclaw's fury. whoops. removed him

removed lakeshine. the last time she was mentioned was when leopardfur was a kit, so she's probably super dead by the time tpb starts

i've moved ashfoot to warrior role in the forest of secrets and fire and ice allegiances

genuinely fully forgot about sasha. added her

[dawnfinchh]

the issue of my waning interest and doing these so infrequently is that i need to look back at what i've done and sometimes it doesn't make sense

every so often i get the random inspiration to do more allegiances
