Kits of Lightleap and Blazefire

[rosemist50]

Hi so uh, here are the rest of them! New apprentices and kits for every clan! Up first are Sunbeam and Nightheart's kits, Goldenpaw and Shinepaw. I'm pretty happy with how these two came out, if I go into every trait and where it came from I'd run outta room for this post 😅 Next is Redpaw and Sprucepaw from Shadowclan, unknown parentage. I tried to channel the classic light stripes on darker body from like 2013 era Warrior Cats with Sprucepaw. Then is Robinpaw and Starlingpaw, kits of Needleclaw and Kitescratch. I only noticed just now that Kitescratch's line has been named after birds which I think is adorable 💕💕 Then, Silkypaw and Fluffypaw (yes actually) from Windclan, unknown parentage. You forced my hand, here is what I consider to be silky and fluffy, though these are more on the extreme end. After is the new kits! First is Oakkit, Sunkit, and Hazelkit, children of Myrtlebloom, unknown father. Then Quickkit, Beechkit, and Poolkit, children of Lightleap and Blazefire. Poolkit is meant to be leucistic, it was the only way I could justify her being "white". Beechkit is the Tigerclone. And Quickkit looks like his great-grandfather. After them is Rustlekit and Stretchkit, children of Appleshine, and Heronkit and Eelkit, children of Floatshimmer. For all of the kits without a named father I have a best guess in mind, but it was still frustrating bc I'd want to use a trait from the father's line, but I want those traits to stay unique to that line, and without confirmation I can't give the trait to the kit. Blergh.

And last but not least for the LightBlaze kits is little Poolkit. :D Also love her name, love to see that prefix coming back.

Poolkit has no physical description given other than her pattern, so I came up with my own for her. She's very soft and poofy with soft cloudy fur, and big ear tufts from her mom.

For her pattern, Poolkit is described as a white she-cat. I wanted her to have blue eyes because of her prefix, but at first I worried that would make her look too much like Cloudtail - then I remembered she's literally Cloudtail's kin (his great-granddaughter through Dovewing), so it's fine for them to look alike, so I gave her his exact shade of blue eyes.

Overall, I'm really pleased with how she turned out. ^^

Quick Firefam rewrite family tree I did for funsies + to attempt to finalize who is related to who later down the line. (I apolgize in advance for my handwriting)

Gen 1: Princess/Pineleaf and Firestar

Gen 2: Cloudtail, Squirrelstar and Leafpool

Gen 3: Whitewing, Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, Jayfeather, Sparkfire, Alderheart

Gen 4: Ivypool, Dovewing, Ambermoon, Dewnose, Snowfall, Finchlight, Nightblaze, Flickerkit

Gen 5: Bristlefrost, Thriftear, Flipclaw, Shadowsight, Lightleap, Pouncestep, Birchfeather, Rowankit (I forgor)

Gen 6: Sprucepaw, Redpaw, Poolkit, Beechkit, Quickkit

Name changes:

Princess -> Pineleaf

Princess ends up staying in Thunderclan after bringing Cloudtail to camp in hopes of helping him (he was born a very sickly kit, but she trusted her brother and his clan so she went to him for help in her desperation). She changes her name once she decides to stay, and is named Pineleaf (may or may not keep it)

Shrewpaw -> Shrewnose

Shrewpaw survives! I liked the idea that Spiderleg was named for his long legs, so Shrewpaw gets a similar name, for his short snout. Firestar had a field day with the two brothers lol

Sparkpelt -> Sparkfire

I keep going back and forth if whether or not I like Sparkfire or Sparkstorm more, currently the Sparkfire side is winning.

Reasons for Sparkstorm though -> She has her grandma's suffix, just like how Alderheart has his grandpaw's

Nightheart -> Nightblaze

I don't like Nightheart's name that much, or his original name Flameheart. I like the blaze suffix more because it fits with the naming of his siblings and it's not an often used suffix (and I want to try to avoid/ take a different approach on his problems with legacy. Once I've finished ASC I think I'll have a better idea with where to take him since he's also getting his protagonist rights revoked because it doesn't fit the overall narrative, but he's still a major character for sure)

Snowbush -> Snowfall

He's named after his father just like how Dovewing was named after her mother :>

(Also I don't think that Squirrelstar would give a cat the bush suffix, heh)

Relationship changes:

Squirrelstar X Shrewnose, Jayfeather X Briarlight and Shadowsight X Rootspring are all QPRs

Cloudtail is an only child, Nami Zack and co don't exist

Firestar and Pineleaf are not related to Scourge, I never really cared for that connection

On that same note, Tommy Fliou and Luna aren't relevant either

Ambermoon, Dewnose and Snowfall are Birchfall and Whitewing's second litter, no longer Brightheart and Cloudtail's. They would be older apprentices by the time Sparkfire and Alderheart are apprenticed

Dandelionkit and Juniperkit won't exist in Thunderclan, they'll be added as existing Windclan cats with Rouge/Loner background (and live)

Alderheart is in a polyamorous relationship with Velvet and Puddleshine

Cloverfoot is now Dovewing's mate

Lightleap and Blazefire are still together but they are a childless couple and the litter of Poolkit, Quickkit and Beechkit is given to Pouncestep and Flaxfoot (might be temporary though, might hand them and Lightleap over towards the Tigerkin instead)

Nightblaze and Sunbeam don't get together (no romantic feelings between them either)

Other changes: I forgot to give some cats mates within the tree whoops

Hollyleaf and Willowshine have a complicated relationship. They're very close platonically, but struggled a lot with their mutal romantic feelings. Hollyleaf tries to deflect and ignore her feelings due to her beliefs regarding the warrior code and Willowshine is hurt by Hollyleaf actions when she reveals her parentage (the Gathering scene remains unchanged, but Holly didnt kill Ashfur this time around) Willowshine is half-clan as well, her parents being Swallowtail and Rainwhisker, so these events break her trust. Sometime before the Battle against the Dark Forest, they make amends and consider their romantic options again, but their time is cut brutally short when Hollyleaf dies fighting on the battle field. There is a lot of grief but no regret from either molly.

Lionblaze had a multitude of crushes (def Berrynose, Heathertail, Cinderheart to name a few) but nothing ever came of them (He's not in a good headspace during his time alive to start dating either, so nothing ever happens/ works out

Flipclaw X Featherhawk (Feather of Flying Hawk) is now a Skyclan cat, son of Stormfur and Brook, who Flipclaw leaves Thunderclan for to be with

Thriftear X Plumstone is another one i'm considering, their existing friendship in the books is very cute

I'm also considering if I want Jayfeather and Briarlight to remain childless or if they adopt Snaptooth and Flywhisker, rn it's on the fence

I also want to pair either Dewnose or Snowfall with someone outside of Thunderclan (too many characters related to them in and around their age group) once I've got the other clans figured out, rn it's probably going to be a Riverclan or Winclan cat

That should be it for now!

Featherspeck’s siblings are shocked by the news of her death.  They each handle it in different ways, though.  Rabbitfur (24) relies on her clanmates to comfort her, although she wonders if things will ever feel normal again without Featherspeck in her life.  She was so used to being overshadowed by her sister’s power, but now she isn’t.  Now she’s the most powerful of the surviving siblings.  It feels wrong.  Wormdart (24) withdraws into himself, letting himself mourn Featherspeck and the time they should have had together.  No one can begrudge him the need to grieve.  Her death also leaves Sleepyfoot (34) as the only surviving parent of their kits.  She may not have loved Featherpspeck, per se, but she does love their kits.  She has even announced that she is expecting more kits and has moved into the nursery while her older kits are still in it.  Interesting.  The Clan wonders who their other parent is.  The kits in question are handling the death of their mother as well as can be expected.  They’ve also been relying on the older apprentices to help   Fennelkit (4) is having a good time with Finchpaw (9) and Glowkit (4) takes comfort in snuggling with Palepaw (8).  Asterkit (4) even joins in the cuddle pile, rethinking his previous harsh judgment of the apprentice.  The cat who seems to be struggling the most is Poolkit (4).  He’s been a little testy lately and is bickering with Chervilcry (147), who’s only trying to help him.  Despite the grief, Creekstar (22) is pleased with the amount of young cats in the Clan.  She knows that there was a time, when her grandparents were alive, where there were almost no young cats.  It’s good to see the Clan thriving under her care. Wildcave (51) is also thinking about the young cats.  He wonders if he should be more protective of his kits and is really impressed with how brave Volcanoblossom (95) is.  Sometimes he feels like he should be braver, considering his fire-blessing. Wildcave has been paying closer attention to his kits and has realized that, maybe because of being powerless and living a relatively sheltered life, Halfpaw (9) struggles with fitting in with his siblings.  He vows to watch out for him better.  Meanwhile, Mossypaw (10) confides in Gladepatch (44) that he feels overshadowed by Primpaw (10) sometimes.  Actually, make that most of the time.  She’s so powerful and valued in the Clan, but he’s just another fiery cat.  Gladepatch reassures him and explains why Primpaw is valued and given special attention.  It doesn’t mean that Mossypaw is any less valuable-and besides, it’s always good to have fire-blessed cats around.  For a time the Clan was as low on them as they are now on water-blessed cats.

Sadly, Toriel (104) couldn’t beat redcough and passed away.  Shard (64) is still hanging on though!  But her wound is infected.  The Healers are worried that she won’t make it, even with their hard work.  It is leaf-bare, after all.  In the mediator’s den, Chervilcry (146) has always assumed that, because Pigeonspot (36) is an earth-blessed warrior, her life must be easy.  She realizes she was wrong after she notices how out of place Pigeonspot seems to feel.  Meanwhile, Amethystdapple (94) had hoped that, after raising their kits together, she would get along better with her step daughter-in-law.  Not so.  She still finds Rustsong (36) annoying, and the feeling is mutual.  Rustsong herself is quite protective of her kits.  She wants to make sure that even the weaker powered/powerless ones have a good life in the Clan. It feels a little weird to Fry’s (74) kits to be apprenticed at the same time as their niece and nephews.  Finchpaw (8) really looks up to his aunts and uncle and lifts up his chin when passing by Primpaw (9). The four remaining kits are getting along well.  After a long day of playing mossball, Poolkit (3) finally settles down and takes a nap with Asterkit (3).  Aww!  Primpaw is a little frustrated by how close an eye the older cats keep on her.  She gets that she’s unproven, but she just wishes she could leave camp without supervision!  Meanwhile, Fennelkit (3) is fascinated by the stories of the dark forest.  And Yuccawillow, who now resides there.  Interesting.  While on a patrol with her brother, as a break from her kits, Featherspeck (23) is attacked by a wolverine and dies.  This leaves her young kits without their mother.

Palepaw (6) has been apprenticed to Rustsong (35), as she’s pretty much the only powerless cat in the Clan who doesn’t have an apprentice.  Actually, there are very few cats in the Clan who don’t have apprentices right now.  Creekstar (20) may need to double up on some, although she doesn’t want to.  Despite having an apprentice of his own now and his kits being out of the nursery, Fry (73) makes sure to spend some time with the remaining kits.  He challenged Glowkit (2) to spar with him and has a great time playing with him. Rabbitfur (22) is not a fan of the apprentices.  She feels like Primpaw (8) is always getting in the way and that Brightpaw (8) is too cold and unhelpful.  She’s not even a big fan of her own apprentice, Daisypaw (7).  Poolkit (2) has already proven himself to be quite the trouble maker.  And also good at getting out of it.  He always offers to help out in the  healer's den instead of taking his punishment.  It’s hard to discourage that behavior.  Primpaw really enjoys being the leader’s apprentice, and showing off what she’s learned.  She’s showing Fennelkit (2) how to do a hunter’s crouch.  Conegoat (49) feels like she’s falling in love with Rustsong.  Is it weird, being in love with her brother’s mate?  Probably.  But she can’t control who she falls for.  Sleepyfoot (32), despite having kits of her own with Featherspeck (22) now, has been prancing around in front of Pigeonspot (35).  Featherspeck notices and feels like Pigeonspot should tell her to stop.  Sleepyfoot’s not very considerate of others.  Creekstar has remained close to Conegoat, since the Healer helped protect her when she was a kit.  She views her as a sort of aunt and enjoys going on walks with her.

It is an eventful moon for the Clan.  First off, Amethystdapple (91) and Fry’s (71) kits have been made apprentices.  Primpaw (6) has been apprenticed to Creekstar (18), of course, giving the leader her first apprentice and Primpaw some specialized guidance in mastering her powers.  Brightpaw (6) has been given to Volcanoblossom (91), as the open warrior seems a good fit for the cold, closed off apprentice.   Mossypaw (6) has been apprenticed to Wildcave (47), to help the young cat harness his active imagination in support of the Clan.  And Goldenpaw (6), being water-blessed, has decided to become a mediator apprentice.  Chervilcry (143) is getting older and would like to retire at some point, but doesn’t feel like she can, in good faith, leave the Clan without a mediator so soon after a change in leadership.  It’s a good thing Goldenpaw wants to become a mediator.  In other news, Featherspeck’s (20) kits have been born!  It turns out their other parent is Sleepyfoot (30).  There is the ever so polite Asterkit (0), who has the most powerful earth-blessing the Clan has seen, and his brother Poolkit (0), who’s earth-blessing is almost as strong as Asterkit’s.  Then there’s the wind-blessed Glowkit (0) and the only girl, Fennelkit (0).  Her fire blessing almost matches that of Volcanoblossom’s (91) water-blessing in strength and she would have already burned down the nursery if not for the leaf-fall rains.  And Chervilcry and Goldenpaw’s quick actions.  Speaking of whom, Goldenpaw’s mediator training is going well, and she’s even picking up on some basic battle moves.  With a new dark-cursed leader, the other Clans will be testing ElementClan soon.  It won’t hurt to keep on top of their skills, even if mediators don’t typically fight.  Even though they’ve been made apprentices, Fry makes sure to spend time with his kits.  He brings Brightpaw her favorite piece of prey after a long day of training and congratulates Mossypaw when he shows that he has newly mastered a fire slash.  Glowkit is also paying attention to  the apprentices, specifically Goldenpaw.  He always asks how the apprentice is doing, which Goldenpaw appreciates.  Mossypaw also enjoys hanging out with the newest kits and feels safe with Poolkit around.  He could always heal him if anything happened!  The nursery is still crowded, even without the four oldest kits. And loud.  Peakspots (133) wishes that Daisykit (5) and Finchkit (5) would play more quietly.  Finchkit doesn’t understand why he would want that.  Why would anyone be quiet when the could be loud instead!  Palekit is also feeling overwhelmed by the noise and is still feeling a little out of place in the Clan, so he’s hiding from other cats.
