One parent and kit group!

They become the parents of Redscar, who also becomes the medicine cat after Grassbloom's father.

The other pair!

Elder and Grass are siblings, and Lion and Bird are siblings, making their kits cousins twice-over.

Flowerstar was the one Redscar chose as leader, faking a sign after the previous leader and deputy passed.

Flowerstar also has two siblings, Mossfire and Fernlight. I don't have their full-bodies look yet, but their faces look like this.

Hey dude I don’t like sending asks, I usually just like to send messages, but I really have to say: I appreciate you. I really like your art and I’m really sad about your chronic pain, that is hard to go through. You really light a light into this fandom with your work and the other artists you support, and I think that makes you just great. I hope the greatest things happen to you.

Thank you so much, oh my godd ;w; Seriously, you have no idea how much your words mean to me. It means the world that you and so many others are still supporting my work and sticking around, even when I haven’t been truly active in months--I really couldn’t ask for a better bunch of followers 💜💜💜

This pain has made things incredibly frustrating (and if i’m being real: terrifying--though that might just be my anxiety making things out to be worse than they actually are), but hopefully I’ll get through it and end this million-year-long hiatus soon. I just started chiropractic treatment yesterday, so hopefully things will begin to look up soonish.

Again, thank you so so so much 💜 I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

You have a great style!

thank you very much :D!!

Was gonna wait, but screw it. Future kits!

Lionfeather + Grassbloom 

= Redkit (scar)

----

Elderchirp + Birdsun 

= Mosskit (fire), Flowerkit (stem/star), Fernkit (light)

----

Runningcloud + Silverwhisker

= Shiningkit (moth/dawn), Snowkit (star), Tanglekit (bounce), Rosekit (mouse)

Red is canon Redscar, who becomes a medicine cat. He is seen in Code of The Clans. After Snowstar and their deputy, Brightwhisker, died, it was up to him to choose the next leader. He chose Flowerstem. Also decided to make him an only child because he seems like one.

Mossfire dies battling her Clanmate, Jumpfoot, for the deputy position after Brightwhisker died before she could name a replacement. He died in the battle too.

and as mentioned, Snowkit becomes a leader.

--

Fern, Tangle, and Rose are OCs. The good thing about Code of the Clans is that they don’t tell you all the Clan’s names, so you can make some of your own.

--

I’m debating adding Jump or Bright in here somewhere, but might add them to someone else. Don’t know who tho, since there aren’t a lot of options. 

Jump looks a lot like Hollyclaw, so maybe she pulled a Blaze/Russet and had a biological father to bore her a son, possibly with a she-cat? I would also need a bio dad and she-cat for her....

--

First are Runningcloud’s and Silverwhisker’s litter (we’ll be seeing them soon!) (yes he did name Tangle after his apprentice).

and I imagine the siblings have their kits around the same time 

Also remember Shiningkit? Yeah, I forgot she exists. So now her timeline is moved.

Shadowclan allegiances after Alder and Myrtle I guess

very rough because I made it in a rush

Important Note:

--only features cats who are ALIVE and IN SHADOWCLAN. The deceased or gone or not on, as it’s mainly to show who’s left.

Also know that it doesn’t include Swanmist, Grebewing, or Lightstream as I’m not entirely sure if they were still in Shadowclan at this point or if they left.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So here’s some stuff about each of them (or at least those that I have background relationships on):

--Russet and Blaze had Birchcloud (deceased) as a doner. Bird and Lion’s brother is Flickerpine.

______________________________

--Grassbloom and Elderchirp are Fernpaw’s littermates.

--Their names go E F G, and are all named after plants. 

--Their suffixes are both things that Fernpaw loved (cricket chirps and watching blooming flowers).

--Both Flicker’s littermates and Fern’s are around the same age, as they were both young apprentices when the revelation occurred.

--Grass and Lion would have kits, as would Bird and Elder.

______________________________

--Runningcloud (Alderstar’s apprentice) and Silverwhisker (sister of Dawnmoth, a victim) would later have a several litters of kits. 

--Silverwhisker was Rainstar’s apprentice.

______________________________

You know Blacksong and Greydusk, Myrtle’s mother and uncle and who are also too old to have more kits even if it would help the Clan grow (not that they would want any).

______________________________

Molespots likely won’t have any kits to grow the Clan, as he’s much older than the other options. Maybe unless he finds a loner or kittypet around the same age that joins the Clan.

He was also Alderstar’s mentor.

______________________________

Hollyclaw is into girls, so she won’t be passing on any genes either

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

One of this cats would have been Rainstar’s deputy! (remember that they would have died before becoming leader and would be replaced by Snowstar -- who will likely be a kit of one of these couple’s litters).

None of them are not connected to Myrtle or Alder in some way.

It would either be Mossflake (mother of Myrtle’s victim),

Russetnose (mother of the cat who decided to follow in Alder and Myrtle’s pawsteps and also the bio father of her kits was killed by them),

Blazepad (see Russet),

Molespots (Alder’s mentor),

Hollyclaw (Alder’s half-sister),

Silverwhisker (sister of their victim),

Runningcloud (Alder’s apprentice)

it really goes to show how difficult it is to move on when you’re so connected 

(btw the rest are either too old or were apprentices when Rain became leader and therefore could not have become deputy).

The whole family is here!!

Now, where did Elder get those scars? Maybe we'll see very shortly!

ShadowClan leaders

This time I used different artist refs since it's pretty hard to find free bases of more than three cats. Alder is probably the most noticeable. (Artists will be linked at the bottom of the post). Again, this is NOT to scale.

==========

--Flowerstar is the only she-cat seen in the line-up!

--The leader before Cuckoostar is known. They are Hailstar, related (littermates, I believe) to ThunderClan's own Hailstar.

==========

--First we have Cuckoostar! He was the leader during Gorsedaisy's Nightmare. He was friends, though not close friends, with Stormfleck, who succeeded him.

--Stormstar chose his son, Aldereyes, to succeed him, because no one else but his own blood was good enough. He didn't appoint his daughter, Hollyclaw, because their relationship was too far tainted by his abusive training, and he figured his son would be easier to mold into the leader that Storm wanted.

Storm was killed by Alder during a harsh storm.

--Alderstar did not choose Rainstar as his successor. Rather, his deputy was Hootpetal. But after both Alderstar and Myrtlewing were revealed to be serial killers, Hootpetal couldn't stand staying home, and left the territories.

Rainbur was chosen by Starclan after a prophecy was sent to WindClan's medicine cat, Houndpaw/hare.

Rainstar's first choice of deputy is currently not known, but they had either died or retired before taking the leader position. The one who did succeed him was Snowstar, his grandson (son to Runningcloud and Silverwhisker).

--Snowstar is a canon character who died of greencough.

--Snowstar's deputy also passed due to greencough, causing the medicine cat, Redscar, to choose Flowerstem, his cousin, as the next leader, faking a sign.

Flowerstar is the kit of Birdsun and Elderchirp. Redscar is the son of Lionfeather and Grassbloom.

--------

Bonus-- if we take the Curse of The Roots idea, Flowerstar was the one to kill Snowstar and Snowstar's deputy, Brightwhisker. However, she is seen in Starclan (gave Tigerstar a life), so if this is true, she was likely an amazing leader and made up for it with the way she lead her Clan.
