Grown up Spot siblings!! These three are the siblings of my OC Spotfur that you can find on my page and on my YouTube channel. This is a “what-if” since all three died as kits being drowned by their mother. So now I’m going to nerd out slightly about design choices!

Applekit- (the red spotted she-cat) grown up she would have taken on the role of medicine cat within her clan due to her interest of it as a kit and general caring nature. Like all her siblings she’s a light spirited and sarcastic cat but the least out of the siblings. She likes to poke light fun at her returning patients for little scuffs like broken claws and scratches to lighten the mood of the medicine den, but never goes too overboard. She resembles her grandmother Heathercloud a lot pattern and coloration wise, and if she lived would have most likely grown up close to her much like Spotfur did. I really like the coloration of belted Galloway cows ever since I read this book as a kid about them and since then they always seem to worm their way into my designs now so you’ll notice how that’s worked in to Applekits design. I think she’d stay the fluffiest out of all her siblings and she would most likely take pride in keeping her fur soft to comfort her patients and kits she looks after. If she lived she would have prioritized community and hospitality both in clan and out, even if accidentally neglecting the clan codes or her starclan duties, most likely letting that role depend on whichever of her siblings would have received the “gift” of speaking with starclan. I think her medicine cat name would have been something like Appleswift, Applecurl, or Applebreeze

Thriftkit- (tan Tom cat) unlike the rest of his siblings Thriftkit has a very lion like look to him, coming from the genes of a past relative he holds himself most elegant. This is mainly due to the confidence that came easy to him since he resembles his father nearly identically aside from build. His father’s reputation as the last gift holder before Thriftkit and his siblings meant he had strong support, and therefore a good group of warriors to rely on. If he lived, Thriftkit would have made a strong windclan warrior, loving the feeling of the wind through his fur on patrols and battling out to protect his clan mates. Surely ending up in his sisters medicine den a few to many times. He too would keep that family sarcasm most likely using it when a hunt went wrong or something within his siblings happened. He surely, as a returning patient to Applekit, trade gibes with her constantly. He would be deputy material but I don’t think he’d ever receive the title, instead just living out his life as a well respected warrior. In charge of leading hunting and territory patrols as well as helping out with planning battles. If he received a warrior name I think it would be Thriftheart, Thriftstrike, or Thriftleap

Rabbitkit- (cream with dark spots Tom cat) finally Rabbitkit. If Rabbitkit lived his life would have been slightly harder than his siblings, born the runt of the litter he didn’t get quite as big as his siblings and would have most likely stayed thin and a bit ragged furred. Luckily for him, lithe is the windclan brand and his mother and siblings size and fur length are a bit of an outlier within the clan. If Rabbitkit lived he would have become a tunneler, he feels safe in the quiet caverns of the tunnel system and most likely would have liked to explore all avenues and passages that could lead to the borders of the other clans and windclan territories. In a perfect world, he and his sister Spotfur might have snuck off to cool off in the tunnels and hang out with one another. Spotfur escaping the voices of the “gift” and Rabbitkit enjoying time with his fellow company-averse sibling. Both enjoy the quiet that their other two siblings don’t quite as much. Rabbitkit however would have made a great clanmate and would have cared for windclan deeply, most likely very patriotic at gatherings stirring the pot only slightly. Rabbitkit would have with out a doubt grown to be the most sarcastic and humorous of his siblings (think old longtail and jayfeather) and would love nothing more than the tease warrior apprentices if they try to make fun of tunnelers. A vibrant character who peak as an elder most definitely. Then of which I’m certain he’d spend nearly all his time entertaining kits and making up fake stories about giant rats that lived in the tunnels and that’s “exactly how I got the scar on my stomach!”(it was in fact not, and was from an old battle that ended up with him at the wrong end of a Shadowclan warrior). If he received a warrior name I think it would be Rabbitgaze, Rabbitflight, or Rabbitnose

And, most notably, I think if the three siblings lived it would have made Spotfurs life much easier. She would have stayed most likely content with her life as a windclan warrior and have the support of her siblings to help her through her attacks of possession with starclan. She could have relied on them to help her when their mother got power hungry and she would have had cats to turn to to build relationships with. Instead, she grew up alone with a clan that isolated her in idolization. Where her mother only really saw her as a tool for control, and she felt disconnected to the entire clan system.

Persistent Storage

I'm currently learning about Persistent Storage through the udemy course. It seems like a really useful way of storing stuff. It reminds me a lot of HTML5's Local Storage. You first set an object with a key, synchronize this object and then you're able to retrieve it using the key. For example:

NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject("Rob", forKey: "myName")

NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().synchronize()

NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey("myName")

However I found this quite 'long' to write down. So I tried something to make it more compact. I created a variable that holds the NSUserdefaults etc function, so I can use this var to fill in the rest.

var prefs = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()

prefs.setObject("Bart", forKey: "Naam")

prefs.synchronize()

prefs.objectForKey("Naam")

This way I don't have to write everything down everytime, I could also reuse prefs every time I'd like to use the standardUserDefaults anywhere in my Swift code. Before I end this post, I've also continued the lessons about filling in tableviews. This was quite easy to me, so I wont be writing a whole story again. Filling table views with non-static content however is a different story. I'd like to practice that subject a little bit more.
