#And also Gorsetail's new friendship with Crowfeather compels me

Props to you for the family tree. I'm going through it in my rewrite and slowly wanting to just throw the whole thing out. I'm having to make some characters orphans bc if I didn't the family tree would have even more incest.

You're an absolute chad

I don't wish untangling the family trees on my worst enemy, it's why I always make sure to hammer in that my trees are 100% free and open for everyone to use as a baseline, if they'd like.

@troutfur for example is gonna use my RiverClan family tree for a rewrite project they're working on, and they found it was an important plot point to make sure Shellheart had a named parent (as my fixes actually swap Rainflower and Shellheart's parentage, making Rain the Apple descendant, creating a detail that Maple was targeting Rain just as much as Crooked). So they're doing an edit and using Blackbee as Shellheart's parent

So you can take my trees and un-do parts of it (make Ivy and Dove kits of Birch/White again), rename cats to your liking (Oatbell doesn't fit? Change the name!), or add whatever new OCs you'd like! I make them for BB but it's always been my intention that they can be used as a fandom resource.

I'm trying to get over the hump of Clanmew Day on the 17th so it's out of the way, because I'm actually really excited to start WindClan. I can't wait to work with some of those Missing Kits-- Rustlepaw and Drizzlepaw were FANTASTIC names and I can't wait to give them a buff!
