Junkclan's Surrounding Neighbors

Moleclan: Cat's that live in a Sinkhole somewhere a little near Junkclan's territory, but dug tunnels in order to interconnect dens in case of emergency and for shelter purposes.

Their Leader, Oddstar (Oddnose): a Black-furred she-cat with a short pelt, stumpy tail, wears a broken pair of glasses for accessory and to hide her small, blue eyes, and has a lumpy nose.

About Moleclan: Moleclan is a logical clan that prides itself in what it knows and what it can learn, alongside their expertise in digging tunnels and using them to traverse around the other territories, which is both revered by the other clans for Message delivering and feared for it's advantage in War or battles.

Interesting facts about Moleclan:

They believe Starclan is Underground, and that the Place of No Stars is an endless cramped, stone cavern.

They dig prey in snow during Leaf Bare in order to keep prey fresh, and occasionally eat bugs and worms in harsh conditions

Typically a nocturnal clan, aids in nightly battles while other clans are asleep, although this is frowned upon in Moleclan

Scorchclan: Cats that made camp in the nearby woods In an abandoned car from the 50's with a Flaming pattern on it. Known for their Unbounded Charisma and smooth talking skills.

Their Leader, Oilstar (Oilslick): A white, long-furred tom with a Black stripe running down his back, and slicked back fur on the top of his head, green eyes, and oddly handsome features.

About Scorchclan: Scorchclan is known for it's Silver-tongued, Snake oil nature, but also for it's bossiness and temper. They're well known for their ambushes in battles and ability to smooth talk out of the hardest of situations.

Interesting facts about Scorchclan:

They believe Starclan is essentially a nice, warm summer paradise, while the Place of No Stars is Desolate, Freezing and Cold.

They occasionally get poisoning from the Car in their camp due to it's machinery and leakages out of it's old age, many lost lives from this.

Oilstar is the most Homophobic Gay guy you will ever meet.

Nightingaleclan: Cat's that live in an abandoned and crashed Plane from the 40's-50's, have a very military and War-based lifestyle. They think the Plane is some Giant Bird Deity that died.

Their Leader, Eaglestar (Eagleheart): A faded brown tabby tom with a Cooking pan on top his head, several scars, and small, Silver eyes hidden under his Pan Accessory.

About Nightingaleclan: Nightingaleclan is known for it's military lifestyle, known for giving the youngest members of their clan peace for making them drop and give 20 once apprentices. Despite this harsh battle-ready nature, they care deeply for each other and take pride and genuine love for their Clan's history and their ancestors, appointing certain elders or cats that are naturally wise to take account for Nightingaleclan's history and events.

Interesting Facts about Nightingaleclan:

They believe Starclan is above the clans, and that their deceased members are reincarnated as birds of Prey, hence why they dont eat them. They have no actual knowledge of The Place of No Stars, and Evil cats typically are reincarnated into animals the clan actually eats like rodents and smaller birds.

Due to the Plane's rusted and potential to collapse in the coming years, Nightingaleclan constantly plans for a new place to live and has a strange abandoned Military bunker farther up their territory as a backup

I basically just based Eaglestar off of Soldier from Tf2.

Vixenclan: Cats that made camp in an abandoned twoleg camp, using old animal cages as dens and tents as well. Known for being the most peaceful but most Wrathful in terms of being betrayed or backstabbed.

Their Leader, Foxglovestar (Foxglovemask): A Orange tabby cat with a mask made from an old paper bag, face unknown to many. Has white markings on their back and a wide tip on their tail. Has a blue striped collar around their neck, possibly was a kittypet in the past.

About Vixenclan: Known for being surprisingly good around twolegs, but also for their Vengeful personalities, kind and compassionate one minute and at your throat if you even think to betray them. While relatively peaceful, this nature gives them quite the fearsome nature in the territory.

Interesting Facts about Vixenclan:

They think the large speaker tower in their camp Is the "Voice of Starclan", although its usually silent much to their own disappointment.

They believe Starclan is a nice field of flowers, and The Place of no stars is a Industrial Nightmare riddled with pollution.

The Place of No stars is believed to be so because of their founders fear of Twoleg pollution

Foxglovestar is Nonbinary.

Orangestar looks like she’s ready to retire and needs to be a kittypet again so she can be pampered and spoiled for the remainder of her life

Velvetstar reminds me of a catfish and I wanna put them in a tank and watch them do their thing

Tornstar makes me think of a cookie n I wanna eat them (they have my favorite design of the leaders)

And Beestar… I respect their authority. I don’t wanna touch them or even look at them wrong. I am at Beestar’s service and do whatever it is they require of me until the end of my days (something seems royal about them and the kinda royal where it’s best you don’t question them haha)

(/pos for all of this btw they all look so neat)

Orangestar's definitely ready to retire. She's going a bit senile at this point and doesn't leave camp too often. Usually at gatherings nowadays, it's the deputy Rattlejay speaking for her, but Rattlejay is ALSO starting to get up there and is starting to think about her replacement. (I really need to draw the deputies from this era...)

I'm SO glad that Velvetstar makes you think of a catfish, that's what I was going for! The whiskers are a trait of FloodClan major family lines. Cats like Eddymist, I imagine, were adopted into the clan, thus no whiskies. She would escape captivity and wreak havoc.

Tornstar is one of my favorites because she's, like, one of those naturally five pound cats; she's tiny. But that doesn't stop her from hunting birds of prey with her clanmates. Plus, according to the game, she's clairvoyant and strange, so I imagine her as being incredibly intimidating.

Beestar is actually a very insecure cat! She's got a regal stone face, but is a wreck of nerves on the inside. I like to think that she suffered from terrible stage fright when she first became leader. Her mate Sharpdust is her deputy and her biggest cheerleader, they're very cute together.

IF ANYONE WAS CURIOUS HOW NIGHTINGALECLAN WAS DOING RECENTLY

[wyrm-clangen]

Heyy, are NightingaleClan asks still open? I was scrolling through older posts and remembered those asks and the guy with the short tail and face scar next to Cinderbracken when Frozentangle went to try to smooth stuff over looks interesting. Could I ask who they are?

Also 🐈

That was Thriftshadow! He was the NightingaleClan deputy at the time!

He was one of Orangestar's biggest supporters, and was apprenticed to the previous leader, Hollystar. He's passed to StarClan now, after giving his life fighting off a dog.

He was incredibly strict and hard to please, and he definitely would not have approved of the current deputy, Laurelscratch. That soft-hearted furball kittypet is going to destroy NightingaleClan's strength, he's sure.

-

🐈 - WyrmClan is a bit baffled by how... civil? NightingaleClan has been lately. Border patrols on that side of the territory have been so quiet recently, and as much as Riftstar wants to appreciate it, it also makes him pretty nervous. Fiercechasm told him that NightingaleClan's healer, Agavepelt - Orangestar's son - told her to tell Ferretlily hello when they ran into each other at the border.

She reported it freaked her out as barely a year ago, he was calling their healer a fox-hearted traitor, barely fit to breathe NightingaleClan air. It's just strange.

[wyrm-clangen]

reading through it all from the beginning and I just want to say. It’s so fucked up how Nightingaleclan ended the war as soon as one of the kits they ‘wanted back’ died. I may be reading too much into it, but imo, it seems like they were kind of just like… oh. The kit we were fighting over is dead now… eh. As long as Wyrmclan doesn’t have it! And ended the war. They never cared about keeping the kits themselves. They just cared that Wyrmclan couldn’t.

Exactly!! Exactly, I couldn't have said it better. Orangestar didn't actually care about Grasspaw or Swishbeam, or even about Cinderbracken wanting to see his kits. This whole war was about her wanting to have control over a situation she had no part of, under the guise that WyrmClan had something that belonged to her.

[wyrm-clangen]

Swishbeam, every time Cinderbracken NightingaleClan is within a 3 mile radius of him:

[wyrm-clangen]

And now I’m interested in Nighingale clan 😭

Would you mind telling me more about Gillstem and Sundream?

I've been waiting my whole life to tell you about NightingaleClan.

SO GILLSTEM!

Gilly's a relatively young warrior, at only 23 moons old at present, but they've already got a reputation for being bull headed and stubborn, picking fights at borders and gatherings since they were a paw. She's incredibly protective of her first apprentice, Frogpaw. The two get along like a house on fire.

They were brought to the clan as a kit, their parent found dead on Nightingale territory.

Sundream has SUCH big main character energy, ngl. Her littermates Lionmoss and Skykit both died, her older brother Agavepelt despises her and treats her like crow food, and her mom has probably literally never said a single positive thing to her. She doesn't HATE her, just has literally negative respect for Sun, and that attitude has rubbed off on her clanmates as well.

She has a crush of Gillstem????? She needs therapy.

[wyrm-clangen]

🐈 Love it how all the medicine cats so far betrayed the rule to not have children

EHHHHH, betrayal is a strong word. The cats of this valley don't really operate on the same law that canon uses. Healers are fine to have kits, usually so long as there's a relief healer to continue helping the clan.

If you wanted a scale of the clan from the most traditionalist to least traditionalist tho- It would probably be:

HeartClan - (they have the least amount of halfclan kits, the healers are strongly discouraged from mating, outsider relationships are frowned upon)

WingClan (Healers not allowed to have kits, but recent tragedies are spurred the need to open up relations with outsiders.)

WyrmClan (Fairly lax and open to friendly relations, as we know. Even if he had wanted to, Riftstar really didn't think that telling Ferretlily that she couldn't have kits would be a safe choice lmao)

FloodClan (A bunch of good time guys, everyone and anyone is welcome and Velvetstar herself was a former kittypet)

NightingaleClan (Orangestar wants the clan to thrive, and has no qualms about allowing her cats to do whatever they want to achieve that. Before her long reign, under Hollystar, they were much more strict.)

[wyrm-clangen]

Why did eddymist get chased out?

She had her kits with a kittypet, which is something FloodClan frowns on and was especially hard on at this point in time.

Funnily enough, Eddy was actually planning on crossing into NightingaleClan territory, because Orangestar is literally always accepting strays and loners and, she supposes, former clan cats. She just ran into Ferretlily first, and she offered her sanctuary.

[wyrm-clangen]

Now I am not saying that the Clan war was her fault or anything.... But maybe she was slumming it a little during the negotiations

Not sure about that, honestly. Frozen isn't a nice cat, but it's one thing to be mean and jealous of your friend's wife and another thing altogether to think that caused the war with NightingaleClan.

[wyrm-clangen]

Crying over Swishpaw 😭😭

Also Frozentangle wtf? I feel like she combats her grief by getting up and doing things, avoiding the problem, meanwhile there’s Fogtail who’s rightfully openly depressed.

She’s probably upset that Fogtail isn’t sucking it up and continuing to push on. Kind of like a reminder that she can’t move on every time she sees Fogtail.

Both should probably seek therapy..

Swishpaw isn't a sad depressed kid, he's an angry depressed kid, which I feel like is a super important distinction. He's furious about the injustice of what happened with his brother, he despises NightingaleClan and especially his father for even trying to steal them in the first place. Little dude is a mess, but hopefully Hornetdapple can help him learn to manage it.

BUT ALSO!! YES!! EXACTLY!! Frozentangle is out here going a mile a minute trying to outrun her own grief, and can only seethe at the fact that Fogtail is even able to just. Let herself mourn?

THEY BOTH NEED THERAPY BUT FROZEN'S THE THERAPIST LMAO

[wyrm-clangen]

🐈 - Ferretlily is related to Orangestar NightingaleClan through cat marriage because her brother Micabite is mates with Orangestar's son Agavepelt. She hates this.

She hates this so much.

But her nieces and nephews are cute, she guesses. So long as none of them turn out as spoiled and awful as Agavepelt.

[wyrm-clangen]

Is Gill okay?

Gill mourned a clan mate, like anyone would, but didn't reciprocate Sun's feelings. They never actually got terribly close? Which makes me very sad.

Gill just adopted some kits tho? Which is fun, but also NightingaleClan is so bloated rn lmao

Over 80 cats- it's a little ridiculous.

[wyrm-clangen]

Hi there @leafclan-clangen! I...actually run all the other clans I have as well lol

I just went it and edited all the clans to match up in the saves with Notebook ++

Currently, at least one of them was ALSO just at war with NightingaleClan which is very funny

[wyrm-clangen]

I count 21 NightingaleClan cats :)

There's actually 45 of them in total lmao

At where we are in game, 46 moons, the Wyrms have 37 cats.

And if anyone is curious about our other neighbors, at 46 moons: FloodClan has 38, WingClan has 40 and HeartClan only has 16 active members, so they aren't doing so hot rn.
