The cats seem to be enjoying newleaf!

Ooh, it looks so warm!

Goldstar can be a bit overbearing sometimes... but he means well!

It's never boring with Birdkit around!

SkyClan-Y4-GL

Rabbitpaw, Creekpaw, Nettlepaw, and Plumpaw are apprenticed to Macgyver, Leafstar, Billystorm, and Rainfur. 

Lichenfur has a strange dream from StarClan. Something about a place where the sun drowns, at midnight? Echosong urges her to follow her heart, and despite her age, she leaves the Clan to try and determine what the dream meant. 

Birdkit, Sandykit, and Honeykit are born to Clovertail and Patchfoot.

Raggednut keeps on being awesome, and kills two squirrels trying to run away

Perchface and Piperacorn noticed a cat from PeatClan patrolling. They cross paths in an awkward silence; the relationship with PeatClan worsened, woops!

Onestar is thinking about love, Perchface doesn't want to go on patrol with Mossyrunner (good news he's dead), Frondpelt xants to know Cricketdapple better, Crouchkit wants to taste frogs

Birdkit is starting to open to Perchface; funny, as Crouchkit dislikes her. The two kittens are very close

Meet the OCs: Bean (she/he/they) - @the-owl-tree

Bean is a former member of the Sisters that broke off after their battle with the Clans to become their new mediator. Settling into a den outside of the territory after his request to join all the Clans was denied, Bean begins to explore their own identity outside of the expectations of the Sisters and learn more about her own abilities. Under the tutelage of Tree and the many other cats they've befriended, Bean must learn how to navigate Clan politics as well handle the numerous ghosts that linger on the territory.

Talon (he/him) - @sm0lcatfish (art by @/skyyclan)

Okay, so this is my little goober named Talon, previously Birdkit > Birdpaw > Birdkit, and he is/was (it’s complicated) my PC in a wc-based DND! He was previously an apprentice of Shadow Branch, but he was trained by a Dark Forest warrior named Creek Splash who encouraged his desire to impress his mentor, Croweye. This led him to do some.. not good things (such as tear out a fellow apprentice’s eye at a once peaceful apprentice-only gathering, leading to him getting renamed Birdkit as punishment) and during a talk with his mentor and leader, Badgerstar, he instead opted to challenge him to a fight! Birdkit didn’t quite win, but when Badgerstar was down he fled as warriors led by Croweye chased him down until he fell unconscious and later granted a swift death by his mentor. Upon arriving in The Dark Forest he renamed himself Talon and swore revenge, but he never really got it in the way he planned.. as the world began to shift around him, and he woke up with gross black scabs across his death wound. Even stranger when he witnessed a younger him eager to impress his mentor, Croweye.

[gator-likes-warriors]

oohhh warriors ocs!

Could you share any info on them?

yeah!! I love talking about my silly clan :)

this is gonna be a long post

so firstly, the clan i shared in 1 of my 4, they are Gravel Clan. a clan that lives in a cave behind a waterfall. the clan territory as a whole is rather empty, mainly consisting of gravely ground that is always damp. The heat getting so hot outside and a lack of shade leading many cats to spend all day in the camp if not on patrol and apprentices are only allowed outside at a slightly later age so that their paws build a resistance to walking on the hot gravel ground.

The other clans are Marsh Clan, Bush Clan and Rock Clan (I can explain them and the relations to Gravel Clan another time

Might just make a little allegiances (not really) for Gravel Clan here (gonna have pics here too so you can see who is who):

Leader:

Robinstar: The oldest leader at the moment in the clans, he is cold and traditional in his ways and doesn't tolerate softness or weakness

Deputy:

Silvertail: A kind senior warrior, he loves watching over kits and assisting his fellow warriors in times of need. A soft soul who is always there to be a shoulder to lean on

Apprentice Oakpaw: nervous but determined young cat, she is trying her best to live up to the standards of being trained by the deputy

Medicine Cat:

Dustynose: A young medicine cat who used to live outside the clans but moved as an apprentice to Gravel Clan to be closer to his half sibling. He was born to a loner who used to live in Gravel Clan. He is skilled in medicine and confident in his abilities.

Apprentice Foggypaw: a half blind calico she cat who lost her eye at birth and during that time grew an affinity for the medicine den (not that she had much of a choice on her role with how Robinstar treats those with disabilities)

Warriors:

Tigerstripe: Sister to Silvertail, she is stern and quick to act. but has a soft side for her family and friends.

Gingerheart: Mate to Silvertail. A strong warrior who has protected many clanmates and is just as worthy of being the deputy as her mate is

Grasstuft: Goofy warrior, Half sibling of Dustynose. Just a goodfball. Also a trans man

Duskstripe: Mates with Grasstuft. Also very sweet and kind. trans woman (yeah these guys are both trans and dating)

Seedfur: A warrior that is trying his best with what is handed to him

Apprentice Tumblepaw: an apprentice who is definitely well old enough to be a warrior, almost the same age as Seedfur (not his first mentor but they retired) Robinstar doesn't want to make a cat with a deformed leg a warrior though

Goldenpelt: Sibling to Tumblepaw, she loves her brother and wants the best for him (she also has ambitions of being deputy one day)

Birchpelt: grew up alongside Tumble and Golden, kinda is a sibling to them basically

Apprentice Spottypaw: Sibling to Foggypaw, she also has slight vision problems but only Birchpelt knows

Queens and kits:

Petalpelt, Loudkit and Birdkit: a calm soft queen who lost her mate a moon ago, but loves her kits ferociously

Elders:

Rabbitear: Funny old man, rarely seen away from his brother

Haretail: Rabbitears brother. loves to pull harmless pranks on others

Scarpelt: was a powerful warrior in his day, father of Silver and Tiger. now he spends most of his days resting and listening to his chaotic denmates

Welcome to IrisClan!

ALRIGHT LET'S GO! No schedule, I post as I finish drawing, got that? Cool let's go.

Click here to read through the story chronologically! (no link yet: will add when first lore post is up)

Asks are welcome and I will try my best to answer all of them. I assure you I read them all and cherish them, though.

My name is Nova, and I use he/they pronouns, so if you wanna talk to artist there are your details. Will keep allegiances under the cut, will TRY to keep them updated as the clan changes but we'll see.

I change some names to what sounds right to me, and take some liberties with their designs. I also take some creative liberties when it comes to events, I am a storyteller and I will do what seems right narratively.

IRISCLAN ALLEGIANCES

If I may request Jaybriar with a cherry on top please and thank you~🥹

Continuing on the B word legacy

The good old twins that are opposites Birdkit is quiet and takes an interest in her dads work, while Bluebellkit is bouncing off the den walls. I think they’d be born in avos and be good friends with Twigkit and Violetkit, and hang out with their uncle, aunt and cousins Sparkpaw, Alderpaw, Hollykit, Fernkit and Sorrelkit.

They become Birdstep and Bluebellpelt

FluffClan just settled in camp, and their deputy is already appointing patrols! How organised!

I'm sure you are Clawstream... Oh! Over by the medicine cat den, the kits are causing trouble!

That looks like fun! But not for Tanglemuzzle... Furledarch better keep an eye on them...

Just Another Clanmate (short story)

“Everything’s going to be okay, Russetnose,” her leader promised, pressing comfortingly against her shoulder. “Myrtlewing knows what he is doing. Lionkit is in good paws.” 

Russetnose knew he was right, and let herself weaken, falling into his support as her son was taken into the medicine den. The poor little fool had snuck out while Russetnose and Blazepad were trying to settle a dispute between Flickerkit and Birdkit, only for it to rain. Really, it had only drizzled, but it was enough to give Lionkit a cold. Stars– Russetnose hoped it was only a cold.

“How was he when you found him?” she had asked. Alderstar had been out on a lone patrol, as he often did, when by chance he found Lionkit shivering beneath a fern leaf he was trying to use as shelter. 

“Well enough to ask if he was in trouble,” Alderstar replied with a hint of laughter. His comfort in being able to laugh as well as his confidence in the medicine cat calmed Russetnose. She was grateful for her leader, even more so after he had rescued her kit. She dared not think what could have happened, had he not been where he was when he was. 

It was only three moons ago that he went to the Moonstone to receive his nine lives after his father, Stonestar, had died in the terrible storm. It had been a tragedy, and sudden too. Alderstar wouldn’t speak to anyone but Myrtlewing for the whole day, not even to respond to congratulations, only hanging his head solemnly. The first time he did speak had been raspy, and it was to name the new deputy.

Russetnose smiled at her leader. He had been a kit when she was a warrior, and still he seemed so young for so much responsibility. But he was handling it remarkably well. Russetnose dared say he was doing better than his father, whose word was always final, to the other Clans as well as his own Clanmates.

Russetnose didn’t realize how long she had been sitting with her thoughts until Myrtlewing reappeared, a polite smile across his muzzle. “Lionkit’s fine, although you may want to rename him Shiverkit.”

Russetnose huffed. “I certainly might after today! What was he thinking?”

“According to him, he was thinking he could catch a frog and scare Birdkit with it. And apparently, Birdkit called him a ‘fur-brain with the dashing looks of a toad.’” 

The three couldn’t hide their laughter at that, and snortled. “At least she’s clever!” Russetnose finally said after regaining her breath. “I’ll be having a strong talking-to with her, too.”

“Cleverness could be useful,” Alderstar thought aloud. “I’m sure once she grows out of the name-calling, she will grow into quite the resourceful worker. And Lionkit is very brave. You have your paws full with good futures.”

Russetnose dipped her head. “Thank you, Alderstar.” The she looked at Myrtlewing, and back again. “Thank you both.”

—-----------------------------------------

“Thank you for agreeing to let me come,” Alderstar said.

Russetnose looked at him with surprise, padding through the forest beside him. “You’re the leader,” she pointed out.

“I protect the Clan, not command its every move,” he responded. “I have as much right to ask you to watch the training sessions as you do denying me.”

Russetnose smiled. Little more than a year had passed since Alderstar received his nine lives, and still he had yet to give anyone doubt in his abilities. Their paws crunched on the snow. “Perhaps waiting for a warmer day would’ve been better.” 

Alderstar kicked through the snow as they walked. “This might be the warmest day for the rest of leaf-bare.”

As promised, when they got to the clearing, Alderstar watched in silence, observing politely, only giving advice when the mentors asked for it. And when it was over, he congratulated the apprentices on how well their training had grown– making them look at each other with star-shattering delight–and then he praised the mentors for how amazingly they were handling the troublemaking furballs.

“Do you have any advice?” Russetnose asked, letting her apprentice run along back to camp with his sister and her mentor. She felt an old leaf stick to her cheek, and pulled it off between her toes. Alderstar looked to be in thought.

“Nothing springs to mind,” he responded. “Their fighting moves are exceptional for cats who’ve only been training for a few moons. How is their hunting?”

“Better, I expect,” Russetnose responded, then shrunk a bit, hoping she didn’t sound like she was bragging about her skills as a mentor to her leader. Then she remembered his words, he was just another Clanmate. “We focus a lot on it in leaf-bare, with the lack of food.”

Alderstar dipped his head. “Perfect, that’s what I like to hear.”

Snow began to fall, softly drifting down in delicate flakes. “We should probably return to camp before this light cold turns freezing,” she joked, fluffing out her fur. “Care to walk with me?”

“Thanks, but I’ll stay out for a while longer. The prey-pile was a bit thin when we left.”

Russetnose realized he was right, they should be hunting. “I should hunt too,” she decided. 

Alderstar stopped her with a paw. “After how hard you had just been working? Go back to camp, and give yourself some rest.”

Russetnose was about to take his request, then hesitated. “No, I’ll think I’ll come, too.”

Alderstar tilted his head in a friendly manner. “What if it’s an order?”

—-----------------------------------------

“From this day on until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Birdpaw. Your mentor will be Oakfringe. Oakfringe, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from Pinesong, and you have shown yourself to be patient and courageous, and I hope you pass on all you know to your apprentice.”

As Oakfringe went to touch noses with the quivering Birdpaw, Russetnose, too, shook with pride from her spot in front of the crowd. “They’ve grown so much,” her mate, Blazepad, spoke softly beside her.

Russetnose agreed, purring in delight, not taking her eyes off of the ceremony. “I know! It feels like yesterday when Lionkit snuck out of the camp and got cold, or when Birdkit sprained her paw, or when Flickerkit had that bought of ticks!”

“Their mentors are going to have their paws full!” Oakfringe, Dawnmoth, and…. Russetnose scanned the crowd, wondering who would mentor her sweet runt.

“Flickerkit,” Alderstar continued as if on cue, “you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Flickerpaw.” A pause. Russetnose held her breath. “I will be your mentor.”

Russetnose pulled her jaw from where it had dropped onto the floor. The leader training one of her kits! What an honour!

Flickerpaw was bouncing on his paws so hard, he had obviously forgotten that he still needed to touch noses with Alderstar, and rushed over, moving so fast that he bumped into the golden tom. Russetnose’s heart swelled so much, she was sure it would burst out of her chest at any moment. All wonderful mentors, dedicated to their Clan, and kind to the young ones.

Russetnose caught Alderstar’s eye. She knew Birdpaw and Lionpaw would no doubt complain, and in a way, they were right. Alderstar was so much more than a good leader. Flickerpaw was the luckiest apprentice in all the Clans.

===========================

--We don’t see her reaction just yet to Alder being revealed, cause I didn’t want it to be too long. 

But you know..... if you want to write that yourself....

--You may recognize Dawnmoth’s name!

--Bonus fact! Alderstar had just killed someone before finding Lionkit, and was again going to kill someone after watching the training (probably arranged to meet with Myrtle prior to leaving to watch the training), which is why he told her “no, leave.”

--Since Russetnose and Blazepad were mates and raising their kits together, I imagine that at least one of them could still train their apprentice while their kits were in the nursery.

--Might make another version but with more focus on Myrtle.
