Moon Twenty-one

Hawkstar finally feels ready to move into the nursery- She's very nervous to have to give up her duties while she rests, but her faith in Lightsmoke is very strong. She spends most of her day resting in the entrance of the nursery, watching the clan go about their day, filled with pride of how far they've gotten. She knows her kits will be safe and loved in her new clan, and she can't wait to meet them. Her restfulness has made her restless, and she plays a silly prank on Nightfern, pretending that the new warrior is part fox and convincing Pikeriver to play along, if only for a few minutes. Nightfern appreciated how playful her older leader can be. Talonkit is made into Talonpaw and is apprenticed to Pigeonwhisker. He's a little shy during the ceremony, keenly aware he has no kin in the clan, but the clan welcomes him with prideful yowns of Talonpaw. The clan is all about survival, and Talonpaw survived to join their ranks.

Talonpaw and Pigeonwhisker Pigeonwhisker and Talonpaw go on their first training patrol together, and during their tour of the territory come across what might be a currently inhabited badger set. Talonpaw suggests covering the entrance with rocks and coming back tomorrow to see if a badger has cleared the entrance. Pigeonwhisker is impressed with their creative idea, and they work together to dismantle the entrance to the set. Owlclaw and Goldsnap go hunting together, and end up bringing in an impressive amount of freshkill together.

Talonpaw. I decided that he’s Nightwing’s other son so I gave him colors more suiting to his new mom. Also the scarred ear for fun and... I forget why I blinded his one eye. It just is now. I know he’s supposed to be gray and his dad could have been gray but screw it. Black and white.

So if Cedarheart was actually Rowanclaw’s littermate, then I’m going to guess that he was forced to retire early (it was mentioned that he was injured by a Twoleg while helping to fight off the kittypets that had killed Talonpaw). Judging by Cedarheart’s personality, the injury probably wasn’t that serious to begin with but I’ll guess he refused to give his injury the chance to heal and worsened it and it got to a point where he physically wasn’t able to keep up with the other warriors.

I think this is my new hc for him now, I honestly forgot those two were littermates! Maybe he did something to his muscles and because he didn’t rest he damaged them beyond repair when leaping or something?

Family Headcanons

I do like a lot of the Missing Kit stuff that Su Susann made but i’m also gonna make a few different hcs for them!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Boulder had kits with a BloodClan molly and brought them into ShadowClan to keep them safe. He raised Nightwing (mother to Smokepaw and Talonpaw, mate to Smokefoot) and Wildfur (silver tabby tom with black stripes and a broken back) as a single father.

- Tallpoppy and Cedarheart are the parents to Toadfoot, Applefur, and Marshkit. Marshkit (light brown tabby tom) died of greencough. Tallpoppy and Cedarheart retired together. Toadfoot fell for one of Fernshade and Wolfstep’s daughters, Ivytail, and they had Stonewing and Wasptail. They were apprenticed late as the DF battle postponed it. Both parents passed away before the two were made warriors.

- Leopardstar’s littermates’ warrior names would have been Oatflake, Waterfur, and Carptooth.

- Darkflower and Scorchwind’s second litter was Kinkfur and Pouncetail. Kinkfur inherited Darkflower’s fluffy, spiked fur.

- Dawnflower and Finchflight had Crowfrost and Spiderfoot after Blossomkit and Swampkit. They were hover-parents and always worried for their kits. Spiderfoot later became a kittypet named String Bean who often looked out for his family when he could.  

- Heavystep and Vixentail had Mintfur, Graymist, and Otterheart. This means the two immortal RC cats are related. Otterheart had died at the lake after being chased and shot by young twolegs for fun.

- Reedwhisker is the father to Duskfur’s kits, Curlfeather and Podlight. Curlfeather has unusually curly fur and Podlight has his facial features.

- Reedtail, Skyheart, and Greenflower were all mates, and he fathered both litters. (Green: Duckkit, Dragonflykit, and Duskfur // Sky: Icewing and Pinefur) The trio were inseparable. Duskfur considered naming her kits after her dead siblings, but decided against it.

- Aspenfall and Plumclaw had Runningbrook, Robinwing, and Willowclaw. Willowclaw was named after her mother. They had a second litter consisting of Whitetail and Adderkit (CotC) Runningbrook and Pigeonwing (Pigeonpaw in TR) had Gorsetail (PO3) and Thistlepaw. Robinwing and Tawnyfur had Owlwhisker and Weaselfur. Weaselfur hates the DF as his brother was killed. 

- Larksplash and Crowfur had Nightcloud, Dewspots, and Webfoot. These siblings weren’t really that close growing up, but Dewspots tried to be the best aunt to Breezekit as she could until she passed away from treading too close to a horse while trying to chase down a chicken in the Horseplace.

- Tallstar’s siblings grew up to be Flylight, Rabbitsnout, and Bristletoe. Flylight and Willowclaw’s first litter was Stoneclaw and Thrushwing. Stoneclaw was killed by ShadowClan + Thrushwing became permanently injured. Moons later, they had Antpelt and Leaftail. Leaftail had more than one reason to hate the Dark Forest after he found out on his own that his brother had died in there twice.  Rabbitsnout and Smoky (forbiddenly) had Boulderfur and Furzepelt.  Bristletoe and Ivy, a kittypet + one of Sol’s sisters, had Emberfoot among other rogue kits. A young Ember begged to join WC because he grew up with Warrior stories and was allowed in. Emberfoot was fiercely loyal to WC and did not know Bristletoe was his father, but it was suspected.

- Mowgli/Nightwhisper and Sorrelpetal (Sorrelpaw in TR) had twins: Tawnyfur and Gorsetail (TNP). Their relationship never went past a one night stand, and moons later Mowgli joins ShadowClan. He went to the Dark Forest, where he learned of his family. He regrets not going to WindClan, but was too loyal to Tigerstar to really care. 

- Dawnbright and Loudbelly are the parents to Whiteclaw and Shadepelt. Whiteclaw did have a crush on Leopardstar, but she saw him as the little brother she never got to have. When he died, she felt as if she lost another sibling. They had another litter consisting of Voletooth, Stonestream and Splashpaw. The Splash + Stone story Su created remains the same.

- Heronwing, Poppydawn, and Rabbitleap all inherited their father, Weedwhisker’s, eyes. 

- Voleclaw passed away from a cancerous growth before his mate Dawnflower’s kits were born. Pebblefoot is a tiny copy of his father and Tumblekit grew close with her pop in StarClan. Dawnflower suspected that her daughter, Minnowtail, had a crush on Mousewhisker of ThunderClan but never confronted her about it.
