leaders, deputies and healers (redraw)

huge, and I mean MASSIVE infodump under the cut, watch out!!

LEADERS

Palestar (she/her), Leader of Stormclan - Palestar’s backstory is one shrouded in mystery. All that is known about her ascent to leadership is that she killed the previous Stormclan leader - Creekstar - who was known as a callous tyrant. Rumours ooze around the festering wound that Creekstar left in her clan, and whilst her fellow leaders are viciously curious about the events that lead to her annointment as leader, Palestar is thoroughly tight-lipped about it all. 

Ouzelstar (he/him), Leader of Snowclan - A traditionalist and a shithead. Ouzelstar was a virulent warrior, intent on keeping his clan free from anything he believed would threaten the tradition that Snowclan had supposedly stood on for so many years. As leader, his cutthroat attitude has calmed a bit, mostly due to his fears over dividing his clan any further - though he is not above putting down cats he deems ‘lesser’, such as his deputy, Kestrel, whom he named Half-face. 

Dapplestar, (he/him) Leader of Gladeclan - The oldest of the leaders and a gentle soul. Dapplestar has had the fortune of leading Gladeclan through many of its most comfortable seasons, and as such has adopted a very mellow outlook on life. His indecisive attitude has troubled them, however, when choosing deputies. After struggling for many moons with cats who wanted to abuse power and ignore duties (or those who were very obviously just waiting for him to keel over), he sought guidance from his ancestors. Lionsong was appointed deputy after Starclan named him as the future saviour of the clan. Knowing that a prophecy has named Lionsong as his successor, and confident in his abilities to lead, Dapplestar is ready to retire and live out the last of his days in the warmth of his clan. 

Sandstar (they/them), Leader of Meadowclan - It is difficult to describe Sandstar without using the word ‘bitchy’. Taking their assessment at an exceptionally young age and then going on to become deputy and leader, Sandstar has earned the confidence and precedence they carry themselves with - not that it doesn’t annoy their fellow leaders somewhat. Despite all their pride and gumption, they regularly find themselves bored by the toils of leadership and often delegate their duties to their worrywart deputy, Ravenshine. They have two mates, Mothswoop and Appledawn. 

DEPUTIES

Bluehaven (he/him), Stormclan’s Deputy - In the aftermath of Creekstar’s rule and Palestar’s rise to power, Stormclan was weakened and divided. In-fighting began to stir between those who supported and those who opposed Palestar’s leadership, and to quell this discord Palestar appointed Bluehaven, one of her most outspoken opposers, as deputy. Despite his objections to her leadership, Bluehaven was shaken by Palestar’s decision, initially believing it to be a trick, and later, a test of his loyalty. He warmed up to his new role after Palestar made further efforts to rebuild her clan, including pardoning exiled cats and banning the murder of rogues (an action that Creekstar had permitted). Nowadays his relationship with Palestar is tense but professional - though there are rumours she only made him deputy because she knows he won’t usurp her like she had to Creekstar. 

Kestrel (he/him), Snowclan’s Deputy - Kestrel was born in Stormclan to Pineshadow and an unknown father. Not long before his apprentice ceremony, his mother fled their home, taking him to Snowclan. There, Ouzelstar took him in, whilst his mother was turned away into the frozen wilds. From a young age Kestrel demonstrated an intuition and selflessness beyond his age - he was left significantly scarred after defending his clanmate from a badger. Though most of his clanmates afforded him sympathy and admiration for this action, there were others who were angered by it - namely Ouzelstar, who would give Kestrel the warrior name ‘Half-face’. Kestrel went on to become deputy after Thawflank stepped down to care for his son and grieve his mate, and remained in the role long after this once Ouzelstar realised his competency far exceeded Thawflank’s (and he didn’t argue with him like Thawflank did). As deputy, he puts his duties above all else, especially any personal grudges he might harbour. 

Lionsong (he/him), Gladeclan’s Deputy - Lionsong suffered a rough childhood, one that he still occasionally blames himself for. Having lost both his parents at a young age, in different ways, Lionsong grew up under the guidance of his mentor, Brightnettle. As an adult, Lionsong has committed himself to serving his clan to the best of his ability, and is known by his clanmates to be resolute but compassionate - making him a perfect candidate for deputy. Having been named by Starclan as the ‘saviour of his clan’, Lionsong wonders what lies in his future, and whether his future role as leader could clash with the actions required of a hero. He has a mate named Ashfall. 

Ravenshine (she/her), Meadowclan’s Deputy - Born a kittypet and abandoned by her owners, Ravenshine struggled to adapt to a life of scavenging on the streets of her twoleg-place. She found Meadowclan after trying her luck hunting in the fringes of the town and stumbling across a border patrol. Desperate and hungry, she was prepared to fight these new, strange cats for her dinner, but was surprised when they invited her to their clan. She found the warrior life suited her well (though she is prone to sunburn more than the average Meadowclan cat, due to her lack of fur) and quickly earned the trust of Sandstar. She enjoys organisation and strategising, both of which make her suited to her role as deputy - though she does have a bad habit of over-worrying, something that isn’t helped by her leader’s lackadaisical antics. She has a crush on her clanmate, Flaxeneye. 

HEALERS

Lichenfrost (she/her), Stormclan’s Healer - Lichenfrost is unusually friendly for a Stormclan cat. She was apprenticed to Frostwhisker, a key figure in the turmoil Stormclan experienced under Creekstar’s leadership, until his brutal death at the claws of a clanmate. Lichenfrost was understandably devastated, having witnessed it with her own eyes, and struggled for many moons as her clan’s sole healer. Whilst the bright sting of shock has long since left, she still finds herself struggling under the weight of her grief from time to time, a feeling she mostly tries to battle with a warm smile and a good talk, and maybe only occasionally some poppyseed. 

Berrystem (she/her), Snowclan’s Healer - Berrystem apprenticed under Cedarsmoke, a quiet and often unsettling cat. Almost as soon as she had earned her name, he left the clan, saying goodbye only to her. As an apprentice, Berrystem was fiercely passionate about her duties, finding solace in healing clanmates and peace in having time to herself - not to mention, a small part of her was both humbled and thrilled by the importance of her role. As she got older, however, her devotion began to waver - and almost faltered completely when the Blight hit her clan. After the death of both her apprentice, Mumblepaw, and her brother’s mate, Tumblestone, Berrystem travelled to the Peak and begged her ancestors for something, anything she could do to save her clanmates. She was met with silence. Distraught and hopeless, Berrystem started avoiding her clanmates out of guilt, spending all her time in her den tending to the dying. When the Blight finally began to clear in the warmer months, the damage was done; their small clan was smaller and Berrystem believed it was all due to her. Losing her brother to his grief and her friends to their duties, Berrystem found an unlikely bond with the only other cat who felt ostracised from the clan; Martenfur. The two would soon form a warm friendship, with Martenfur often helping Berrystem fetch those herbs that were just a little too tall for her to reach. 

Littleshadow (she/her), Gladeclan’s Healer - Littleshadow became a healer far later in her life than most cats. She was 40 moons when the clan’s current healer, Duskfoot, died suddenly in a dog attack. Having been the only cat with a higher-than-average knowledge of herbs and remedies, Littleshadow stepped in to help her clan. Trained mostly by Beechbark, Littleshadow quickly learnt the ways of a healer and took up the role full-time - leaving her mate, Cindertail, behind. 

Beechbark (he/him), Meadowclan’s Healer - Beechbark is the oldest of the current healers, having outlived not only his mentor but the clan’s previous leader. Despite this, he refuses to pick an apprentice on the principle that none of his clan’s current young ‘uns show enough respect and diligence for his liking. His clanmates fear that he’ll die before taking an apprentice, and his clan will be left healer-less like Gladeclan had been. Little do they know, Beechbark fears that if his clan has a newer, younger healer then they’ll see no use for him, and usher him off to the elder’s den. He’s not ready to give up his role just yet.

now MOON 100!!!!!

100 moons can't you believe it well any way lets see what comes

Skyclan had sent a warrior to thundrclan as Dappledfang no Dappledstar would like to see Brightstar before she goes to the Star falls and get her nine lives.

Brightstar agrees and brings Mothwing Raindew, Pebblefleck, Howlbite, Thornclaw, hollydapple and Hawkfrost to Skyclan having a bad feeling

When they got to the camp Dapplestar brought Brightstar and Mothwing to the leaders den and and start discussing until they hear fighting out side and before Brightstar could go and see what had happened both Mothwing and Dappledstar attacked her

The skyclan vs thunderclan war has began

TW: Death, blood, and warrior cat violence

Brightstar claws at Mothwing's face and got out of the hold she was in and went out to see the whole of skyclan camp in battle

Dappledstar and Mothwing fallow Brightstar out of the den to attack her and the cats of thunderclan are shocked most of all hawkfrost is the most shocked that his sister would attack the leader

Raindew helped a skyclan queen out of the way of fighting and juniperheart, the skyclan medicine cat helped them in her den

Howlbite bit a Skyclan cat's tail gently

Thornclaw was taking two warriors at once and had injured one enough to send them to the Medicine cat den

A sky clan warrior pinned Hollydapple down and in the fight had nicked her ear

Hawkfrost runs up and attacks his sister and gets her off of Brightstar when Mothwing looks at her brother she tries to explain but Hawkfrost interrupted "You tried to kill her why."

"Because our father was wrongfully exiled he deserves to have been thunderclan's leader!" Mothwing said a bit angry

Hawkfrost tackled Mothwing but mothwing got out of his grasp and tried to make a run for it.

He catches her again and they start to fight.

Hawkfrost nicks her ear

Mothwing hisses at him ant claws his face and he closes his right eye Hawkfrost bats at her face, he dosent want to hurt his sister,

Because she still his sister

As Hawkfrost batts at her Mothwing bites his foreleg

Hawkfrost claws at her nose which make her let go

Mothwing bites his neck while he's distracted hard

In panic Hawkfrost claws at her neck which does make her let go of his neck

Hawkfrost stumbles as he was losing a lot of blood and tried to focus on finishing this fight

Mothwing was in the same state at she looks at Hawkfrost

CW: Cat falling in a river and implies downing and blood loss

Hawkfrost Stumbles and accidentally she had gotten pushed into the river that runs through out their territories and try the grab her but was pulled back by a panting Brightstar her neck wound looking nasty and that she had most likely lost a life Hawkfrost collapsed from the blood loss

Mothwing has died

Back before the Siblings had run off to fight Dappledstar had taken one of Brightstar's lives but Lots of skyclan cat had enough and protested against her ad they where sick of the way she had lead and a senior warrior and another warrior fraught and drove out Dappledstar and now it had left the clan with no leader and no deputy since one wasn't chosen, and so like Runningstar had done many moons ago the head Medicine cat Juniperheart had taken up the leader position and chose the Senior warrior to be her deputy

Brightstar called to rain dew to take the cats and their dead as she went to find Hawkfrost and Mothwing when she had found them she saw hawkfrost take a stumbly step and had brushed against Mothwing and she had fallen into the river. She saw Hawkfrost was going to jump in after her but Brightstar had grabbed his scuff and pulled him away. He carried him to camp after he collapsed.

Raindew had checked him and said he would live and looked out to see thornclaw in the middle of camp lavender already in his pelt and ready for tonight's vigil Both juniperstar and Brightstar has agreed to both a new rule to the warrior code and that 10 moons of peace will happen

Rule 16: If there is no leader and no Deputy the medicine cat will step up and become leader

Anyway time for patrols and its time for the 8 first time apprentice patols

[willowpeltart]

Just started a new clan on clangen: MumbleClan.

Having fun with a troublesome, prophecy seeker, and good mediator leader Dapplestar.

[the-exiled-comic]

Between the two clans, if the war had continued into Fishwhisker's era - which of the two clans would have won? :O

probably still treeclan if it were crow vs dapple, but it depends on what would be more interesting to me to write about. crowstar could easy beat dapplestar in combat and they wouldnt mind giving up some lives if it meant they weree killed in someone else's stead... buuuuuut narratively i think oceanclan is mostly done warring for now. some cats would follow crow into war but the ones that wouldn't (ie fishwhisker and petalsong) would likely be given the means to stop it via getting firespots involved. him being the key to her undoing is just the most interesting way (to me) for crow to go down

[siliconsulfideart]

Day 2: New OC!

my man Stonestar... formerly Stonetooth :) i created him as Dapplestar's predecessor, and funnily enough they both followed the same path

Stonetooth was a very, VERY smart cat, okay? and he was very stupid in love with his BF Owlchaser AKA, Curlstar's son. Stonetooth and Owlchaser both worked hard in hopes to achieve deputy status, but Stonetooth thinks that nepotism is the reason Owlchaser was chosen over him or anyone else.

Stonetooth was still in love with him though--even being chosen deputy when Owlchaser became Owlstar--but his jealousy raged on until one day he jjust staged a coup. Killing Owlstar publically, and then replacing him as leader, if only to be loved just a much as he was.

And Stonestar promised not to be nepotistic, and chose another cat he felt qualified for deputy, over his apprentice who he had originally intended to take his place, should Stonestar have died before leadership.

And his apprentice, grew up and had a kid against his better judgement. But we'll get into Dapplekit/paw/heart/star some other time :)

Literally his ENTIRE story was based off Brutus by The Buttress, bc I did not give a SHIT abt him until I listened to this song

[raintailed]

Two of my warrior cats ocs!

Sleetstar is Dapplestar’s father.

Still working on Sleet’s redesign, but i’m happy with Dapple :) Old designs are under the cut

DAPPLEKIT | DAPPLEPAW | DAPPLECLAW | DAPPLESTAR

Served under Gorsestar, preceded by: Fernwhisker.

Dapplestar and her brother Scorchstep were born in the middle of leafbare, the only litter to survive that season. After the death of the previous deputy Fernwhisker, she served as deputy during the Great Root Clan/Swift Clan conflict under Gorsestar until the leader lost her final life trying to conquer the other Clan's camp. 

While Dapplestar isn't a particularly agreeable cat, naturally hot headed and argumentative, the war tempered her a great deal. She now actively tries to keep herself calm and often relies on her deputy Sandnose to keep her steady. 

She's a molly desperately trying to undo the mistakes of her past and the path of violence their previous leader wrought. The scars on her Clan still linger, however; and only time will tell if the sins of the past will ever truly heal.

-

Parents: Burnclaw (mother, elder) and Briarflight (father, deceased)

Siblings: Scorchstep (brother, retired early due to battle wounds), Cinderkit (deceased)

Mate: Sandnose (They’re on a break.)

Daughters: Maplefoot and Sunflowerheart

Sons: N/A

-

Apprentice(s): Quailpaw (deceased), Appletail (former, deceased)

[the-exiled-comic]

Is Crowstar really that bad? She killed an apprentice (on accident, while she was also young, if I remember correctly?), a scary tyrannical leader, a weird religious zealot and co. (who all seem pretty antagonistic), and… is blunt? Maybe I’m just desensitized to fictional murder (esp with these cats having a sick afterlife), but she seemed to do most of it in contexts where I can see her point (ex. Defending Fallen in battle, scary leadership, defense). The only part I can really see crowstar being a bad person in bold letters is when she attacks Dapplestar for revenge, but even then.. she has a reason. She believes TreeClan killed her respected friend and deputy, and is lying about it. Idk sorry if this comes across as somebody having to hold my hand that “murder lady is bad”, but in this fictional setting, her actions makes sense

short answer to this is just she likes murdering and murdering is bad. she holds little to no remorse over her actions, really only being somewhat regretful about the things that make her son upset

i dont think Crowstar is morally bankrupt as say, someone like Autumnstar, but a lot of her intentions are in the wrong place. She is also quite unapologetic about her crimes.

a long answer is... complicated. on a scale of evil characters i would put Crowstar on a similar ranking to Sandywing and Emberpelt, those two never killed anyone but they make up for it in other ways. Sandywing I would be tempted to rank more evil than Crowstar but truth be told she only feels like the most evil character because she actively is tormenting the POV character (which I'll come back to this pov mention in a minute) you are right that murder in cat-land is quite a bit different than murder in the real life world, but its more about why they did it how i would personally rank evilness within the comic is like, what their feelings/intent/goals are and also how much influence their actions have and how well the rest of the cats can recover from it.

So Autumnstar would be hands down the most evil cat as he is responsible for (directly and indirectly) responsible for a lot damage that the clans are still undoing. Crowstar, his protege, is not helping it be undone. She's still promoting both tyranny within Oceanclan and aggravation/violence against Treeclan, even though Dapplestar has clearly expressed multiple times they don't want to do this anymore.

Things Crowstar has done to keep this cycle of violence going are killing 4 clanmates as her first act as leader (rebellion is complicated but for the sake of the post I'm adding it because it wasn't clean cut self defense. there were choices, killing them was a conscious choice), smacking and manslaughtering a kid, antagonizing her clanmates, not stopping the fights between coralclaw and sandywing, not giving fishpaw a warrior name, killing dapplestar over a hunch that someone in treeclan killed cloverfall, hitting sandywing for insulting her ego.

I think she would appear a lot more evil if the POV was from Firespots, or even Whisperleaf, as she specifically targets the both of them. She appears to be not as bad because she stopped directly digging at Fishwhisker and seems to be mostly on her side now. She dislikes the same cats that we dislike (Sandywing, Emberpelt, Firespots) and has been trying to turn over a new leaf for the last several chapters. Granted that's pretty much only because her son is going to have to clean up anything that she doesn't clean up if Firespots does succeed in his plans to kill her. I'm very slowly making a prequel comic that explores some perspectives from this generation, doing to comics at once is hard tho lol. So it'll be seen eventually
