Gannettstar do you regret how you treat your children
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Perhaps I do, I could've been a better parent- but the world is a cruel place, someone needed to teach them that. If it wasn't me, it would've been someone else. It's a shame what happened to Patchouliprickle though, he would've been my first choice of deputy if not for him dying. Oh well, things are going to go my way now."

Gannetstar
Tumblr media Tumblr media
more info below, potential spoiler warning! I use these character bios as a way to keep track of my SplashClan game which means that all the information is up to date with the current in-game events, not where I left off with the youtube series
Gannet was a rogue who was taken in and raised by an older cat named Mint after the death of her mother. They both decided to join the clans and Gannettalon was later chosen to become the leader of SplashClan, thanks to Mintshade’s guidance and teachings of self-preservation above all else. Leadership proved to be a challenging task for Gannetstar which led them into feeling lost.
To prove themselves, she became involved with a long-lasting conflict with HazeClan. The loss of her children, strained relationships with their clanmates, and pursuit of power took a toll on not just Gannetstar’s leadership, but their mind. Gannetstar’s time as leader was marked by war, the deaths of her family, the mistreatment of their own apprentices, and their own transformation into a ruthless and manipulative leader. Gannetstar ultimately died and joined the dark forest to scheme against the clans.

Detailed Biography
Gannet was born as a rogue but doesn’t remember much from her early life, though they’re unsure if that’s because of how young she was of if she had unknowingly blocked the traumatic memories out. When Gannet was only a few months old, her mother died, leaving her all alone. She nearly died of starvation before she was found and rescued by an older rogue named Mint. Mint took her in and from then on raised them as if she was her own kit. Throughout Gannet’s life, Mint trained them to survive just as she had under the philosophy that “no other cats matter, protect yourself and only yourself.” 
Years later, after Gannet had already grown up, the two continued to live together for protection. Though they were better off together, things still weren’t perfect and winters were always harsh. During one winter they discovered the clan cats and decided to stick around for protection and easier food. As time passed they relalized that there was a clear leader for each of the four clans except for one, SplashClan. Mint and Gannet decided to step up, deciding to permanently join the clans as Mintshade and Gannettalon in hopes that they could take leadership of SplashClan themselves. Eventually, Mintshade’s age got the better of her and she stepped down to become an elder, advising Gannettalon from the side in order to have the best chance to become leader.
Eventually, the BloodClan-affiliated rogues were chased out and with Rootmask’s dying words he chose the new leaders of the four clans; Tawnystar of DeadClan, Curlstar of HeatherClan, Amberstar of HazeClan, and Gannetstar of SplashClan. Gannetstar went on to receive her nine lives, one of which being from Mintshade herself for “leadership through the darkest times.” They later elected Brackenshade as their deputy as he was a young but fierce and abrasive cat who would grant her the approval of her clanmates. He was also picked with a darker motive in mind, at the time he was the youngest warrior in the clan and clearly respected Gannetstar's judgement and authority as leader, meaning he wouldn't oppose her. Desperate for more approval from their clanmates, Gannetstar gave themselves an apprentice so she could appear as a responsible, rule-following leader. Sagepaw was the apprentice she chose but they didn’t do much work in training him aside from what was required of her due to her lack of care and how overwhelmed they were as leader initially. 
Gannetstar had only gotten where she was because of Mintshade’s guidance and without her, they felt as though they had no idea what they were doing. Many times they tried to reach out to StarClan to talk to Mintshade but she was cut off from StarClan due to them disaproving of her as leader. Gannetstar questioned her ability to lead the clan and needed something to prove her worth not only to her clanmates, but to herself. This eventually came in the long-running conflict between SplashClan and HazeClan. It started out small, as nothing more than a prey and border dispute but Amberstar’s anger towards the situation frustrated Gannetstar. She couldn’t understand the HazeClan leader’s anger and she felt the urge to take the situation into their own paws, killing Amberstar herself. Of course, this never ended up happening as she was too desperate to prove herself and gain the approval of her clan.
Thunderisle and her own apprentice, Sagepeak were made warriors however later this same month he died while out on patrol and ultimately Gannetstar never realized how much he wanted her to notice him. It was during this time when they met Striker, a rogue who had belonged to one of the BloodClan-affiliated rogue groups that had been occupying the clan territories before. She fell in love with Striker and the two began to secretly meet at SplashClan’s border. As time passed between them however, Gannetstar grew continuously bored of Striker as she found something more entertaining. In their dreams, Gannetstar began to visit the dark forest and would continue to train there throughout her life. 
In the end, Gannetstar found out they were expecting kits and cut off her relationship with Striker, abandoning him and telling him to never come back. Though she was excited to have kits, they didn’t like the idea of having to care for them for very long, hoping she could apprentice them at four months instead of six. Thankfully though, Brackenshade told her not to do that. Eventually, Gannetstar’s three kits were born, Tornkit, Icykit, and Jellyfishkit. She loved her kits but it was clear from the beginning that they were going to pick favorites. She spent more time with Jellyfishkit than the others and this did not go unnoticed by Tornkit and Icykit. 
Eventually, Gannetstar’s kits are apprenticed and she was able to leave the nursery but they were back to feeling terrible about leadership. She had been trained her entire life to only care about herself, to only put effort into making sure that she survives, and now she was alone in leading an entire clan of cats. She made her kits warriors way earlier than she should have and only two months later she learned terrible news. One day, her daughter, Jellyfishspeckle went on patrol but didn’t return. Jellyfishspeckle had been taken away by twolegs. Gannetstar, after having already been under a lot of stress, broke down as a result of their daughter being taken away. They encouraged fights on border patrols and even began picking fights with cats from her own clan. Lightspots at one point stepped up to confront her about this and she took to physically punishing him with the help of Snapfern, a cat who’s allegiance to not only SplashClan, but herself, she was questioning. The three cats were left injured by the fight but in the end Gannetstar felt as though they could trust Snapfern more. 
Gannetstar began to feel as if they were going crazy and she began to feel numb with pain, both from the loss of Jellyfishspeckle and her tail injury. Over the next few months she failed to recover, struggling to fight off the infection in their wound and this only worstened when her other daughter, Icywhisker, died as well. Though she recovered from her injury shortly afterward, she could harldy react to her daughter’s death due to her numbness. Months later, Gannetstar even repeated what she had done to Lightspots to Clovefreckle after he similarly spoke out against them, though thankfully it wasn’t as harsh. Gannetstar’s trust in their clanmates began to dwindle and she soon sought out Snapfern to spy on the cats of SplashClan for her. Eventually, her trust in Snapfern became so great that she confessed to Snapfern about their own romantic feelings towards her. Snapfern agreed, sharing Gannetstar’s feelings and the two became mates. 
Over the next few months, things between SplashClan and HazeClan became worse and worse and Gannetstar even began to ask the other clans to form an alliance but in the end, neither HeatherClan or DeadClan were willing to help. As tensions rose things only became worse for Gannetstar with the death of her son, Tornrun. Though she didn’t play favorites with Tornrun, preferring Jellyfishspeckle, Tornrun had been the only one of her kits that still remained in SplashClan. It was only a few months after this when finally, Jellyfishspeckle returned to SplashClan. Though Gannetstar should’ve been happy, they weren’t the same cat they were when Jellyfishspeckle had been taken away and apart of them began to blame their daughter for abandoning their clan in a time of need and felt as though she was cursed, somehow causing the deaths of Icywhisker and Tornrun just as she left the clan and returned. The pain of Tornrun’s death and Jellyfishspeckle’s return finally caused Gannetstar to break and officially declare war on HazeClan. The war lasted seven months and four cats died however SplashClan was the clear loser of the war. Ever since Gannetstar had been leader, they had been searching for the perfect opportunity to prove her worth as leader and in the end they failed, they failed terribly. 
During the war, Gannetstar decided to distract themselves by taking on their second apprentice, choosing the kit, Quietpaw for that position. Gannetstar was a bit more involved with Quietpaw’s training than she was with Sagepeak's since this time she had willingly taken him as an apprentice, but things ended up just as badly. Under Gannetstar’s training, Quietpaw was trained to exhaustion every single day and was hardly recognizable as his former self not long after becoming an apprentice. Similarly to Sagepeak, Quietpaw wanted to make Gannetstar proud of him and he would do anything to make that happen. At one point after the war had ended, a bunch of HazeClan apprentices began to bully Quietpaw from across the border. She encouraged Quietpaw to fight back, even if he was clearly outnumbered. Quietpaw made it out of this encounter, but was mildly hurt and Gannetstar praised him for this. Quietpaw’s apprenticeship came to a sudden end in leafbare. He was so painfully hungry from there being a lack of prey that he attemted to calm his hunger by eating some red berries he found, these ended up being death berries. Though Quietpaw died, Gannetstar didn’t seem to care much. 
Tumblr media
Before Quietpaw had died, her and Snapfern’s son, Patchoulitkit was born. When Gannetstar wasn’t too busy training Quietpaw, they would spend time with Snapfern as she was the only one who they felt could bring them comfort. As a result, Patchoulikit didn’t get to spend a lot of time with his parents and began to look up to and chase after Gannetstar for their attention. Gannetstar decided to mentor their son herself. Though the clan spoke out against this, Gannetstar didn’t care. They spent the most time and care training Patchoulipaw compared to Sagepeak and Quietpaw, influencing him to use violence over words and to make impulsive decisions. Just like she did with her previous kits, she made him a warrior early, granting him the name Patchouliprickle. He took after Gannetstar’s bloodthirsty nature but died too quick to acomplish anything. 
Patchouliprickle, Snapfern, and many other SplashClan cats disappeared into the night and wound up in StarClan, their cause of death unknown. Gannetstar was left devistated and broken by their loss. Only three months after this, Gannetstar lost her very first life to an injury they had recieved months prior from a dog attack. Shortly after, she decided to move on from Snapfern but in the end they never took another mate. Throughout the rest of their life, Gannetstar seemed to become more and more lost in their own mind and their previously shown agitation and aggression towards others, even in their own clan, grew and grew. She later lost her second life to a venomous snake bite before slowly beginning to lose her remaining seven lives to old age throughout the 93rd month of SplashClan’s existence. As they lay dying, Gannetstar laughed in her deputy, Lightspot’s face and told him-
“Hah! I’m glad you of all cats are becoming the next leader. There isn’t another fool alive who i’d be more willing to see cursed with the role of leader.”
Gannetstar, having already entered the Dark Forest in their life, was brought there in death and realized that she would’ve been able to influence the cats below. She began to scheme and soon figured out her plan. If they turned the young cats against the clans, she could turn them to her side, destroying SplashClan in the process and proving that all along the idea of ‘clans’ were cursed to fail. Ever since their death, they’ve reached out to many of SplashClan’s younger cats and brought them to train in the Dark Forest, some even becoming loyal to her already.
Fun Facts
Gannetflight was named after Gannetstar by her mother, Emberfreckle who's one of the most involved and loyal dark forest trainees.
Gannetstar's original in-game warrior name was Gannethorse but this was changed to Gannettalon later on since it made more sense and wasn't as goofy
Their favorite food is frog but they also liked rabbit and shrews
Their character song is Ain’t It Fun by Paramore
Gannetstar’s voice claim is Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil: Village (voiced by Maggie Robertson)
Dark Forest Events
The first cat Gannetstar influenced to begin training in the dark forest as Sparkstep. They contacted him in his dream only a month after she had died.
Gannetstar feels regret for some of their actions, though it's unclear which ones
Gannetstar considered walking in Old Deuteronomyplume's dreams but decided against it, realizing they wouldn't have accepted her proposal to train
From the dark forest, Gannetstar never contacted Lightstar but always kept an eye on him, smiling slyly how much he likely hated being leader at such an old age and how it was herself who put him there
They considered bringing Brackenshade's son, Brightsnap into the dark forest but decided against it, knowing Brackenshade had likely taught him too many negative things about Gannetstar to want to accept
Gannetstar indirectly killed Brightsnap, Rippletuft, Littlebat, and Sardinefuzz. She had instructed some of the HeatherClan dark forest trainnes to attack them on patrol in order to specifically kill Sardinefuzz, the current deputy of SplashClan so Emberfreckle, a prominent dark forest trainee could potentially be chosen as his replacement.
Gannetstar feels distain and malice towards Hailtorrent, a high ranking dark forest trainee from SplashClan becuase they believes that he has the capability to turn against her and completely destroy her plans
Throughout Snailshell's apprenticeship, Gannetstar continued to whisper in his ear as they couldn't fully walk in his dreams due to his connection to StarClan. In the end thankfully, he was able to block Gannetstar out.
Mudember, Emberfreckle's son was one of the cats Gannetstar had an eye on birth but in the end it's likely she was never able to contact him due to his stronger than average connection to StarClan.
Gannetstar had their eyes on Brackenshade's son, Laurelstep from kithood but it's unclear if he was ever reached out to

Detailed Biography
Mintshade is the main StarClan guide of SplashClan. Earlier in her life she was a solitary rogue until she found and adopted an orphaned kit she had found. She named the kit Gannet and trained her. Soon enough Gannet was fully grown and the two spent a good portion of their lives as companions. Though Gannet never viewed her as such, Mint saw Gannet as her own kit. Throughout their lives, Mint trained Gannet, teaching and raising her under the philosophy that "no other cats matter, protect yourself and only yourself."
Later, the two joined SplashClan and took the names Mintshade and Gannettalon. The two of them wanted power over the group of cats and thought SplashClan was the best option as they were lacking in a confident cat to step up as leader. Initially, Mintshade was the one who wanted to be leader but as she realized how old she really was she decided to allow her adoptive kit to take that role instead. She advised Gannettalon through everything and soon enough she was elected as SplashClan's future leader.
When the reformed clans went to drive out the BloodClan-affiliated rogues who had been occupying the old clan's lake territories, Mintshade was killed. As the first SplashClan cat to die, she was chosen to be the StarClan guide and she was able to give Gannetstar one of her nine lives. In death, she realized the error of her ways and came to the conclusion that she had always loved Gannetstar. Her philosophy was wrong and it had not only resulted in her permanantly harming her daughter, but all the clans as Gannetstar's terrible leadership continued.

Detailed Biography
Snap was born as a kittypet and for a good while spent her life as just that and never thought to be anything else. She spent her days lounging around outside and chatting with the other neighborhood kittypets until one day she was chased by a dog away from her home. In the end she escaped by running up a tree but she was badly hurt by the dog and was too scared to return home. After wandering for a while, she was found unconscious by Jadezinnia who brought her to the other future clan cats. The cats most skilled in healing were failing to save her until Gale arrived. Gale, later renamed Lightgale, had extensive knowledge of herbs and was able to find what Snap needed in order for her to recover. It was because of this that she felt like she had to stay and help out in order to thank him and everyone else for saving her life.
She spent the next few months recovering from her injuries, certain that she would return to her twolegs until a little kit was found by the clan cats. The kit was named Longkit and since he was being taken care of in the temporary clan medicine den he was raised right alongside her. As Longkit got older, Lightgale decided to task Snap with caring for the kits since she was well enough to walk around now. Though she liked caring for the two older kits, Thunderkit and Sagekit, she felt a bigger connection between her and Longkit.
After the BloodClan-affiliated rogues were driven out of the territories, Snap was conflicted. A part of her longed to return home to her twolegs but another part of her wanted her to stay and take care of Longkit. In the end, Longkit was able to win her over and she decided to stick around and become a SplashClan warrior. She accepted the warrior name Snapfern and adjusted to warrior life relatively well. Though not the most skilled cat in the clan, she was competent and was able to contribute just as much as everyone else did. Eventually when Longkit was nearly old enough to become an apprentice, Snapfern approached Gannetstar and Brackenshade about getting to mentor him herself and thankfully the two agreed to let her mentor him. 
It was in the fifth month of SplashClan’s existence when Longpaw was apprenticed to her. Overall her time as his mentor went by without too many issues and throughout it all they remained pretty close. The only problem was early on in his apprenticeship, Snapfern dislocated her leg by slipping on a wet rock but she was thankfully able to recover quickly and Longpaw’s training wasn’t halted by her injury. Soon enough, Longpool became a warrior and Snapfern felt as though the one thing keeping her in the clan didn’t need her anymore. Longpool had grown up and could survive without her being there, so what was the point?
She felt alone. Though she had friends she only trusted Jadezinnia enough to talk to and confide in. Lightspots was incredibly friendly and a great companion who she loved dearly but he wasn’t exactly the type of cat she’d want to approach about her problems, and Longpool of course was her apprentice and she never saw it as appropriate to go to him. Lastly, Brackenshade and Lightgale were just as friendly and trustworthy as Jadezinnia but the thing stopping her from going to them was their closeness to Gannetstar. At one point, Gannetstar had overheard one of her conversations with Jadezinnia and hadn’t been overly receptive towards the idea of Snapfern being uncertain about clanlife. 
To keep her in the clan, Gannetstar gave her another apprentice. Icypaw, Gannetstar’s own daughter was chosen and overall their relationship as mentor and apprentice wasn’t as easy as it had been with Longpool. Icypaw’s childish nature as an apprentice led to her being hard to give orders to and she was incredibly unreceptive towards Snapfern’s teaching. In the end, they didn’t end up hating each other thankfully. Icywhisker became a warrior and began to feel fond towards her former mentor, even picking up some small manerisms and quirks from her.
Though things have ended positively with Icywhisker, she was right back to where she was before, feeling as though she had no purpose. She tried her best to continue living as a warrior but as the months went by it became harder and harder for her to do so. She tried to help her clanmates in overcoming their own struggles but nothing was making her want to stick around. One day, Lightspots stood up to Gannetstar during a clan meeting and told them that their leadership was causing conflict in not only SplashClan but with their neighboring clans, HeatherClan and HazeClan. Gannetstar took this as a challenge and decided to punish him herself, but not alone. She ordered Snapfern to help her punish him and she complied, desperate for anything at all to give her a purpose. Gannetstar and Snapfern physically punished Lightspots in front of the clan but all three in the end were injured with Snapfern reciving facial scars from the fight.
Snapfern felt terrible for hurting her dear friend but she felt conflicted. Gannetstar noticed her and gave her a purpose. How was she supposed to leave now? In the following few months, she felt more at home in SplashClan than she ever had, even if for a good chunk of this time she was stuck in the medicine den recovering from her injuries. Gannetstar’s daughter, Icywhisker had just died and her other daughter, Jellyfishspeckle had recently been taken away by twolegs and Snapfern felt the need to be there for her and comfort her, bringing the two clanmates closer than they had ever been before. The month after she recovered she recieved her third apprentice, Boughpaw. Overall, she and Boughpaw didn’t have an overly close relationship but at the same time the two respected each other and she watched proudly when Boughdawn became a warrior, happy to have been the one to train her. It was during this time when Gannetstar gave Snapfern a job, a job that no other cat in the clan had. Snapfern was to eavesdrop on the cats of SplashClan and report back to Gannetstar her findings. Tornrun, Thunderisle, Jadezinnia, and Longpool were the first cats she was instructed to spy on and throughout the whole job she felt incredibly guilty, but at the same time she felt as thought she couldn’t give up this opportunity, not after she was so desperate for a proper place and role in SplashClan’s society. 
It was after this when Gannetstar approached Snapfern and asked her if they could be mates. Snapfern was shocked by their question but accepted the offer without question, she had feelings for Gannetstar but she would’ve never thought Gannetstar would reciprocate. She spent the next few months incredibly happy, just wanting to experience clan life and help her friends until something terrible happened. Longpool died as a result of a broken jaw. Snapfern was heartbroken. Longpool was her apprentice and one of her closest companions and as a result she fell into a deep period of mourning. Though she was able to eventually get back on her feet and get back to work it wasn’t long after when she realized she was expecting kits. It was around this time that she also recieved her fourth apprentice, Scorchpaw, though she was unable to spend much time mentoring him herself.
Her and Gannetstar’s only son, Patchoulikit was born. She felt so happy. As Patchoulikit grew and grew she couldn’t help but see the similarities between him and Longpool however she was unable to care for him as much as she should have been. Gannetstar had broken down as a result of SplashClan’s failures in their war with HazeClan and Snapfern, as their mate, felt like it needed to be her to comfort them. As a result, Snapfern ended up spending more time with Gannetstar than her own son. Eventually, Patchoulipaw was apprenticed and Snapfern felt comforted knowing that there were so many responsible warriors in the clan who were willing to mentor him; however not a single one of them received him as their apprentice. Gannetstar took it upon herself to be Patchoulipaw’s mentor. The clan was furious at her decision but Snapfern felt differently. She wasn’t angry or frustrated with Gannetstar, she was terrified for Patchoulipaw. Gannetstar had two apprentices before, Sagepeak and Quietpaw and they both died incredibly young. Snapfern feared that her own son would meet the same fate. As a result of her stress and growing age, she decided to retire to the elders den.
Tumblr media
Patchoulipaw grew and grew, inheriting Gannetstar’s bloodthirsty nature and Snapfern could no longer see Longpool’s sweet, loving personality in him. Patchouliprickle was made a warrior earlier than he should and this act made Snapfern realize what a terrible mistake she had made. She felt more drawn to Gannetstar’s approval and attention than Lightspots, who loved her just as much and would’ve certainly cared for her even more. She had ignored him and now it was too late. She had found her place in the clan, but at what cost?
Only three months after Patchouliprickle was made a warrior, Snapfern disappeared into the night alongside many other cats of SplashClan, her son included. Though her cause of death is unknown, she went to StarClan.

Welcome!
This is a blog dedicated to documenting the stories and characters from my ClanGen game, SplashClan!
Story
The four clans once lived in peace until BloodClan came, forcing them to flee their home. While they found a home, new territories beside a lake, fighting soon began amongst the clans and starvation caused the clans to die out. Years passed and a decendant of the old clan cats, Rootmask, discovers that the lake is being occupied by groups of BloodClan-affiliated rogues. Angered that his ancestor's home is being taken over once again by BloodClan, he decides to fight back by reforming the clans. In the end, DeadClan, HeatherClan, HazeClan and SplashClan were formed and the BloodClan-affiliated rogues were driven out.
