Kiwitalon confronts Stoatbite at Autumnpaw’s funeral.

I really liked how this still for a map part I’m working for came out so I made it into a little fake screenshot lmao. The text isn’t centred at all but I’m choosing not to focus on that.

I like the idea of a kit receiving a ‘cute’ prefix and then growing up to be super tough and getting an overcompensating suffix so one of my ocs is called Kiwitalon.

My other name favourites are Summerstorm, Figheart, Sweetnectar, Wiltedrose and Tumblepaw, because I love the tumble prefix.

I'm sorry to Kiwitalon but their name is still adorable hehehe

Lichenflower

Lichenkit - Lichenpaw - Lichenflower

-DuskClan’s 2nd successor (medicine cat)

-He / him

-27 moons

-Mentor: Doespring (past)

-Sister: Kowhaipaw (half), Mother: Tulipstem (deceased), Father: Kiwitalon (exiled)

Lichenflower’s mother died of illness and malnourishment during a harsh leaf bare when Lichenflower was a young kit. As a result he spent much time in the medicine den during his kit hood as he recovered from illness. Eventually Lichenkit became fascinated by the knowledge of the medicine cat Doespring, who took a motherly role in his life after his mother’s death and father’s increasing absence from the clan. Lichenkit became the medicine cat apprentice at 6 moons. He was initially friends with Cricketpaw after his arrival but became increasingly distant after noticing the clan’s disapproval. Lichenpaw showed empathy, skill and intelligence in healing and became a full medicine cat at the age of 15 moons, named Lichenflower after his mother. It was shocking to everyone when his father returned after his long absence carrying half-kitty pet and half-sister to Lichenflower Kowhaipaw. Lichenflower developed a close bond to his sister after his father’s exile and her apprenticeship to Cricketthroat concerns him. Although he admires the warrior and wishes to rekindle their past friendship, he fears losing the adoration of his classmates he’s built. Lichenflower worries that Kowhaipaw’s alienation due to her kittypet blood will strengthen under his mentorship.

Kiwitalon

[kiwianacats]

Finally finished off this map part featuring Stoatbite, Autumnpaw, Kiwipaw(talon) and Lichenkit(flower).

[kiwianacats]

Kiwitalon takes his half-clan kit home to the clans unaware of her destiny, but knowing it will likely be the last time they have together.

I was inspired by the southern lights for this one! Had a blast experimenting with colour while trying not to be too meticulous haha. Ended up with some issues with perspective/scale tho, as the bridge is supposed to appear much further away whoops.

[kiwianacats]

Their old reference sheets definetly needed a bit of an update! Not a lot has changed apart from some subtle colour differences but I'm happy with these nonetheless.

Kowhaipaw

Kowhaipaw is a young Duskclan apprentice of 6 moons who was brought into the clan by her father Kiwitalon after she was given up by her housecat mother. Since her father's exile Kowhaipaw has been raised by her foster mother Tawnyfeather and half brother Lichenflower, a young cleric's apprentice. Older members of the clan view her with suspicion due to her parentage and her difficulties with warrior training is seen as a sign by some that she'll never be truly a part of Duskclan, especially under Cricketthroat's mentorship.

Cricketthroat

Cricketthroat was brought into the clan at 8 moons of age, found strangled by his own small collar, and was allowed to stay by Tuistar. He was trained by the young warrior Tawnyfeather, who's foster kit Kowhaipaw is now his own apprentice. Cricketthroat has few friends in the clan, due to a combination of introvertedness and the clans distrust of his heritage; although once close with Lichenflower the two drifted apart over time. This isn't helped by Cricketthroat's perceived laziness either. He hopes that Kowhaipaw will be more accepted than him, although her lack of natural ability concerns him.

Kowhaipaw

Kowhaikit - Kowhaipaw

-DuskClan apprentice

-She / her

-7 moons

-Mentor: Cricketthroat

-Brother: Lichenflower (half), Father: Kiwitalon (exiled), Mother: Ginger (kittypet)

Kowhaipaw was born to a scandalous affair between DuskClan warrior Kiwitalon and Persian kittypet Ginger. Ginger had no desire to raise her, especially considering her mixed heritage would cause judgements in Ginger’s pedigree family and Kowhaikit was given to her father to travel back to DuskClan. She was vouched for by her half-brother and medicine cat Lichenflower, although her father was sent into exile and she was raised by her brother and one of the more sympathetic queens Tawnyfeather. Although the other similarly aged apprentices fully accept Kowhaipaw as a clan member, older members of the clan view her with suspicion due to her bloodline and believe that she has the potential to betray the clan similar to her father. This stigma was worsened when she was apprenticed to fellow previous kittypet Cricketthroat and Kowhaipaw’s difficulties in hunting and fighting are seen as evidence by some that she’ll never truly belong in DuskClan.
