I don't know why people hate Leafstar tbh. She's been through a lot and has become a really strong, kind, and logical leader.

Skyclan and the Stranger: After the Divorce

[rosemist50]

Redesigns! Yay! This batch is of Leafstar and her family, plus Echosong. When I saw that Leafstar was one of the protagonists for The Elder's Quest arc, I wanted to go back and touch up her design. And that led to doing everyone else's also lol. For Leafstar, I really liked her first design here, so I kept most of it, like 90%, just made some of the markings simpler, easier to draw. Also I changed the colors slightly. Billystorm is pretty much the same as well, again changed the colors and made the red on the side of his face curve downward. Also redid the body shape, this one is more what I had intended before, just did it better here. Harrybrook got a different fur shape on his head, and a much lighter light color. Firefern is slightly more orange, added the flame mohawk and lighter flame pattern on her tail. Also extended the neck marking. Stormheart I darkened the orange, added a neckline to share with her sister and mother, made the other paw grey, and changed the face marking to look a bit more like Billystorm. Then Echosong. Her colors changed, and her face markings got completely redone, but her body is mostly the same. Originally she was more blue, like the old version, but I worried she looked too much like Feathertail, so I made her more warm-toned.

Just curious, does anybody know how old Leafstar’s kit’s would be by the beginning of power of three? Are they even born yet?

In Skyclan and the stranger, Sol leaves skyclan just as they’re born, and i assume he goes straight to the other clans, so then he appears in the middle of PO3.

Are her kits born yet by the sight? Or would they be newborns around Eclipse?

Harrybrook

Harrybrook is a gray tom with a paler underside and amber eyes.

I hate his name so much

[dayz-ina-daze]

Why are two of Leafstar’s kittens gray???

Firefern makes sense, her dad is orange so she’s orange. Stormheart has cream patches like Leafstar

But??? Where?? Why are Harrybrook and Stormheart gray????? WHERE DID THE GRAY COME FROM, ERINS

sorry if this is a stupid question, but is fading kitten syndrome a common issue among the clans?

Not a stupid question! :)

It can certainly be an issue, as the loss can be quite traumatic.

Dappletail's son Featherkit faded at 6 weeks.

Bellaleaf and Harrybrook's 2 other daughters, Webkit and Wolfkit. Webkit passed at 3 days old, Wolfkit passed at 8 days.

Cloudpelt's sister, Littlekit, at 1 week.

Elderleaf, Dandeliontuft, Lynxpetal, and Shadowsight were all thought the be suffering from this. Elderleaf, Lynxpetal and Dandeliontuft received round-the-clock care, whereas Shadowsight was given a closer look at by Spiresight, who determined that while he wasn't the healthiest kitten in the world, he wasn't Fading.

Those examples above each had different feelings around them.

For Dappletail, she was told that her son was quite weak, and to hope for the best, but brace for the worst. She was on a high from dumping Stormtail, and kept her head high. She treated him normally, had him learn a tiny amount of Glyphs upon realizing he was deaf, but when his body began to fail, he was her tiny baby once more. At 6 weeks he should have been running around, playing... She cuddled with him and helped him sleep easy.

Bellaleaf and Harrybrook took it so badly... When Wolfkit did not wake up from her nap, they panicked and called for Freckleshine and Fidgetflake, but nothing could be done. Bellaleaf and Harrybrook became ferociously protective of their other 2 babies. Days later, when Webkit's blood pressure dropped suddenly, and she grew cold, Freckleshine fought hard to save her, but it wasn't enough. The couple had a single daughter remaining, one who would struggle deeply with the issues she had had since birth, and they poured as much quiet love they could into her, praying in terror that Starclan would not take their final child...

Cloudpelt and Littlekit's parents, Toadskip, Nettlespot and Poolcloud, knew their children were not born strong. They even named one Littlekit for how tiny she was. While Poolcloud was a but less involved, she helped out with Cloudkit while Nettlespot and Toadskip spent every day they could with Littlekit. They leant on their religious beliefs for comfort, that Starclan must have needed her, or that she was going to play with other kits in Starclan. They were sad, of course, but they handled it with grace, and were happy to be reunited with their child when the time came.

Fading Kitten Syndrome is an issue, it can be sadly common, it can be why some cats are reluctant to name their kits for a little while, where some name them the moment they can.

The beliefs around it are what can help shape family culture! Graypool's kin are incredibly sentimental about newborn kittens, whereas the ancient cat Briar Bloom, famous for nursing Thunderstar as a baby, did not name her child until she reached 1 moon, as she had 2 kits, but one Faded. The other being Rabbit Spring/Rabbit Bloom, Thunder Storm's foster sister.

Leafstar’s Children

Name ideas for the three under the cut.

Firefern keeps her Fire- prefix until she joins ThunderClan. I’m thinking maybe Maple-, Russet- or Red- for her.

As for suffix I’d either make her a -fur or a -storm. Since she is up and down in who she is, but her attitude in Ravenpaw’s farewell seemed way more extreme than in Hawkwing’s Journey. Rip to her moving to ThunderClan, Firestorm could’ve been a cool name.

So uh- Maplestorm/Maplefur, Russetstorm/Russetfur or Redstorm/Redpelt for her.

Stormheart I’m gonna change to Robin-, and her suffix will be -pelt or maybe -stripe. So Robinfur or Robinstripe for her.

Also changed her to a normal tortie instead of ginger and grey. Also made her a tabby cause I can

I do kind of want to move the Storm- prefix over to Harrybrook, but I’m not sure yet. If not then maybe Smoke- or Stone-. But he’s a -heart as he’s willing to follow his moral code even if it does hurt him (such as leaving his mother and Clan to follow and keep Echosong safe).

So Stormheart (stolen from sister), Smokeheart or Stoneheart for him.

I’ll probably go ahead and keep their dad Billystorm. But he’s not in SkyClan. Just a kittypet instead.
