RippleClan: Moon 103, Part 1

Rattlepelt and Wildclaw are asked to take in a litter of three from AshClan.

[Image ID: Wildclaw and Rattlepelt stand above three newborns. The first, a gold spotted tom with a white belly, has the caption NEW PLAYER: SUNKIT, 0, MALE, FEARLESS. The second kit, a red tom with a few white spots, has the caption NEW PLAYER: BERRYKIT, 0, MALE, BULLYING. The last kit, a calico molly, has the caption NEW PLAYER: SKYKIT, 0, FEMALE, KNOW-IT-ALL.]

"I don't like this, Rattlepelt," Wildclaw muttered as every step sent her sinking to her belly in air-like snow. "I don't like AshClan requesting to see us both like this. I have no friends in AshClan. This can't be good."

"You are the Clan deputy," Rattlepelt reminded her mate. The tail of her fox pelt left a long line in the snow. "It's not so strange for AshClan to speak with you. They could want to discuss some new form of trade, so they invite your artisan mate along."

"Enough bad things happen to the two of us that I'm allowed to be concerned," Wildclaw huffed. "We still don't know what happened to Billowhaze, Splashtuft, and Tallowheart."

"I don't think AshClan is able to make bodies disappear so easily," Rattlepelt sighed, still managing to chuckle despite the weight of the strange tragedy.

It was a gray morning when the two mollies left camp for the AshClan border. Dovefur had returned early from his border patrol, explaining that Leathermask and Rapidleaf were waiting with a gaggle of AshClan cats who wanted to speak with Wildclaw and Rattlepelt. The weather matched the tension each RippleClan cat carried in their hearts. No one, not even the clerics who confirmed their deaths, had an answer for the strange disappearances that rocked the Clan. It barely felt like the three toms were dead, just… out on patrol. So that's all most cats could do. Patrol, and hope to fill the sudden, inexplicable hole in their lives.

At least it properly looked like winter. The snow was so ridiculously fluffy that Wildclaw could barely feel it. It was the sort of snow that kits should spend their days frolicking in and apprentice should bury themselves under to pull pranks on their poor mentors. Wildclaw wondered if Midnightpaw had memories of snow from his early moons. She hoped Valleypaw could enjoy the snow in StarClan, free fron the deadly cold.

Wildclaw and Rattlepelt spotted Leathermask and Rapidleaf before either of them could continue overthinking the situation. They waited by the border alongside Terracottafoot and one of AshClan's mediators. Wildclaw put on her deputy's mask and nodded to the AshClan representatives.

"Greetings, Terracottafoot," Wildclaw said. "I didn't expect to see you here."

"That's not the least of it," Rapidleaf pointed out. "There were two other cats here before we sent Dovefur for you. They still haven't come back."

"I'm glad you both could make it," Terracottafoot purred, licking their cold paws. "Truthfully, Paleseed has raved about how good-hearted you both are."

"Excuse me?" Rattlepelt said with a slight head tilt.

"Well, the two toms you adopted, Midnightpaw and Valleypaw," Terracottafoot stammered, tail curling as they searched for the right words. "They were your third adopted litter, right? You've taken in a lot of kits who needed love and attention."

"Shrewflame and Whiteflower weren't really litters," Wildclaw chuckled politely, "but they needed someone in the nursery with them, and we've never regretted it." Rattlepelt nodded along to her mate's assessment, touching her nose to Wildclaw's cheek.

"That's why we asked for you two specifically," Terracottafoot gulped. "I don't have a good way to ask this, but there are some cats who need your help."

"Oh stars," Leathermask muttered, catching sight of the returning AshClan cats before the smell of birth and milk reached Wildclaw's nose.

The two AshClan cats who had left before Wildclaw and Rattlepelt's arrival carried three kits with them. The first AshClan cat carried two kits at once; both stocky for their tiny forms, one was a stunning red while the other at first seemed pure white, but revealed ginger patches and a black tail when she squirmed. The other AshClan cat carried a golden spotted tom. None of them could have been older than half a moon, but were almost certainly younger than that.

"We didn't want them to wait in the cold if we didn't find a patrol," Terracottafoot explained awkwardly.

"So colorful," Wildclaw muttered. The calico, the only molly of the three, shifted her half-sealed gaze toward Wildclaw. Baby blue eyes gleamed like spots of sky against a cloudy sky.

"I didn't know you had a flair for the dramatic, Terracottafoot," Rattlepelt huffed. "You didn't think to say anything about this before you brought the kits?"

"Maybe you should just hear the story," Terracottafoot awkwardly suggested.

"Are you giving away AshClan kits?" Rapidleaf asked.

"They belonged to Caretaker Dayhaze," Terracottafoot explained. "You probably knew her best, Warrior Leathermask. She suffered complications in the birth and finally past yesterday."

"Dayhaze is mates with Bluesun," Leathermask pointed out. "Why aren't these kits with their father?"

"You misunderstand," the mediator beside Terracottafoot said. "They are Dayhaze's children, but not Bluesun's."

"Oh," Wildclaw gulped. She instinctively shifted a paw to touch Rattlepelt's. Rattlepelt returned the gesture.

"The sire was a kittypet in the human settlement," Terracottafoot continued. "The yellowcough outbreak took him shortly after Caretaker Dayhaze became pregnant. We discussed what she wanted for her kits after she passed, and she decided they would fare better in RippleClan."

"No one in AshClan would adopt them?" Wildclaw muttered. "If a nurse is what you need, Mitespark gave birth to her litter two days ago. She could help."

"If Caretaker Dayhaze did not want the kits to be adopted by an AshClan couple," the mediator beside Terracottafoot sighed, "we have to respect that. Don't look at us like we're tossing them out."

"I'm more-so surprised Eelstar agreed to it," Wildclaw scoffed.

"He didn't have to," Terracottafoot sighed, dipping their head. "I'm sad to announce that Eelstar has joined StarClan."

Good, Wildclaw thought as the faces of her Clanmates shifted with the less-than-awful news. Wildclaw stood taller. Eelstar may have changed from the lackey he was under Autumnstar, but he was still a spirit of suffering in the collective memory of RippleClan. For him to live beyond Downstar and Weedfoot was an insult to their suffering under his burnt paws.

"Barkfur has his nine lives, then?" Wildclaw grunted, the mask of diplomacy slipping with a crack in her voice.

"Elder Barkfur is as old as Eelstar," the interrupting meditator said. "He decided, for the good of the Clan, to retire and give leadership to younger blood. The reign of Lichenstar has now begun."

"My niece," Terracottafoot coughed, concealing a purr of pride. Well then! Wildclaw knew Lichenstar, once Lichenfur. She had been a codekeeper with an unmatched lust for the intricacies of trials and the balance of justice and mercy. Wildclaw made a note to tell Oilstar of this, although as the calico kitten continued to stare at her, her focus slipped.

"Lichenstar deeply values parental rights and the wellbeing of our kits," the mediator noted. "This was Dayhaze's wish, and Lichenstar respects it. As she decreed, it is better for our children to live beyond our reach than to live within and feel the claws of uncaring hearts. Bluesun… has not reacted well to the affair." Maternal fury sparked in Wildclaw's heart. Rattlepelt gently nosed Wildclaw, drawing her eyes off the kits.

"Do you remember what you told me when we found Midnightpaw and Valleypaw?" Rattlepelt said. "It felt like one of those moments StarClan designs just for us. Every time we've taken someone in, they've only made our lives brighter."

"I thought you would be hesitant," Wildclaw stammered. She shifted her back to AshClan, giving her and Rattlepelt a bit more privacy. "We lost Valleypaw just a few moons ago. I thought you'd want to mourn longer. I'm usually the one convincing you of these things."

"I'm sure I don't need to convince you of this," Rattlepelt sighed, brushing her fox pelt against Wildclaw. "You can barely look away."

"You'll take them?" Terracottafoot held their breath.

"That's what their mother wanted," Wildclaw hummed, inching close to the kits. The red kit squinted at Wildclaw, his tiny paws twitching toward her. The golden kit in the back mewled for his brother and sister, outraged at the separation.

"Thank you," Terracottafoot purred, waving the other AshClan cats closer. "Thank you both. There's just one thing we need to do. It's only right that the kits take part in one last AshClan tradition. Just sit together, right here." Terracottafoot patted the snow. Wildclaw and Rattlepelt hesitantly obeyed, sitting right at the edge of the border. Terracottafoot flicked their tail, and the two AshClan cats carrying the kits placed them at Wildclaw and Rattlepelt's paws.

"We can't let them sit in the snow," Rattlepelt snapped, shuffling her fox pelt off. "Here, here, put them on this." Rattlepelt shivered violently as a soft breeze rolled over her exposed silver skin. She rubbed into Wildclaw as the gray deputy tugged the fox pelt underneath the squirming kits. The golden kit did his best to stand, but flopped onto his jaw with a silly mew of protest. The red tom and the calico molly nibbled at the fox fur, hoping to nurse. Terracottafoot sat in front of the newly formed family, clearing their throat.

"We ask our warrior ancestors to look upon these kits and offer your blessings," Terracottafoot recited, eyes to the gray morning sky. "We do not wish to strip them of their heritage, of the parents who brought them into this world. We only ask that their family grow to take on new guardians, cats to share in the responsibilities of those who came before. Warriors of StarClan, bless Wildclaw and Rattlepelt as they accept the children of Dayhaze into their family, joining her in forever guarding the hearts of the kits before them." Wildclaw nosed each kit, taking in their soft scent. She gave the calico kitten a special lick on the head; it would be nice to have a daughter for once.

"We'll keep them safe," Rattlepelt promised, heart and voice warm.

"Just one thing before you take them to RippleClan," Terracottafoot stammered. The spell of their ritual faded, replaced with their usual nervous demeanor. "Dayhaze named them, and I know it was important to her that they keep their names."

"Of course," Wildclaw huffed. "Who's who?"

"She named the red tom Berrykit," Terracottafoot explained, "after holly berries. The calico is Skykit. Dayhaze thought she looked like the sun breaking through thick clouds with those ginger patches. And this squirmy golden kit is Sunkit."

"They're wonderful," Rapidleaf purred.

"I'm sorry though, Terracottafoot," Leathermask sighed, bowing slightly to the AshClan cleric. "You seem to care for Dayhaze."

"She was a good molly, even if she wasn't faithful," Terracottafoot said, nodding as though they had to confirm their own beliefs. "I know her kits will fare well with you, Deputy Wildclaw." Wildclaw studied her new kits. Berrykit had become bored with the fox fur and now nibbled at Skykit. Skykit squealed and clumsily kicked at her brother. Sunkit continued his determined efforts to stand, despite tumbling once more onto the fox pelt.

"We'll protect them," Wildclaw promised. "They'll always be loved."

She couldn't say they'd be safe; memories of Valleypaw running out of camp, her last glimpse of her son, glimmered in her mind's eye. But to say they would be loved… that was a promise Wildclaw could keep.

Still gonna be a bit slow, Work is still kicking my ass. Additionally I will be doing the Raffle Results as soon as I can! Thank y'all for being patient with me!

Patchpelt | Black bicolour

silhouette behind him is Firestar for size reference. they're roughly the same height.

mostly just a mishmash of his siblings' traits. same big round ears, Redtail's rounded square eyes, Leopardfoot's big muzzle & tail, thicker version of Leopardfoot's body shape

Edit: changed the amount of white spotting because I misremembered how much he could have. His sleeve, black patches on his face and white spots on his thighs (which are symmetrical) mirror Spottedleaf's red patches.

Moon 7

The moon begins with heartache. One of the four elders, Sunwhisker, saved Stoatkit from a deadly adder, but had bitten in the process. He would pass a few days before Moon 8. When patchpaw had gone to find herbs, he saw a visage of Sunwhisker, who lead the apprentice to a new patch of Comfrey, which is the herb Pinepaw needed to recover. With that final act, Sunwhisker gladly passed on to Starclan, happy to have done a final good deed for his brother's grandkits.

[splinterclan]

Since we got Prairiemoon’s updated stats with her being a warrior now, what was she before becoming gloomy and a storyteller? I can’t for the life of me remember what any of the apprentices stats were when they started, if they were ever shared. In any case I’m so proud of Prairiemoon! God I hope that things start to look up for all the kiddos. And as a trans enby, I’m super excited for when Burnpaw officially comes out to the clan. Things have been rough but I hope he gets to be himself soon enough

She was playful - I think I only ever put it in the allegiances which I am glad no one ever looks at bc I constantly forget to update them heh But yeah it made me so sad to see her personality change so drastically - sometimes clangen really knows how to gut punch you :<

Yeah - they made up the same day after Prairie ran, Elk chased after her and they talked. It was a superficial scratch as well because she pulled back when she realized he'd jumped in the way

There are, but they're very far away from Splinterclan, they are: Oakclan, Posyclan, Pythonclan, Bitterclan, Kestrelclan. The names are just generated by clangen bc the only one that matters to this story is Oakclan (the clan that Splinterclan broke off from). Other than that if other clans come up in the game I will interpret it as rogue groups/kittypets unless I change my mind and want to bring them in lol

Her old name was Patchpaw!

[omenousraven]

Hermitclan Warriors- First Half!

I said I'd release them all at once, but there are a LOT of hermits, so take the first half of the Warriors!

Rotblaze (A.K.A Cleo)

Rotblaze is a strong and confident senior warrior with a bit of a temper. She has a specific moral code and has at times deemed it to guide her despite any conflicts with Warrior code. Kind of a loner, but still fiercely protective of her own as long as she herself can still feasibly get out of trouble. She dabbles with the scrap tinkering but primarily uses it to make strange art pieces rather than being a tinkerer.

Falsestrike (A.K.A False)

Fiercely protective, loyal and brave, Falsestrike is often on the front lines in battle. Known to be one of the best fighters in Hermitclan, a legacy she hopes to pass down to her apprentice, Deerpaw.

Impdapple (A.K.A Impulse)

Impdapple is a kind warrior who tends to play by the code, as well as being fairly easy going, he's close friends with Flametuft and often uses his contraptions to help train his apprentice, Flutterpaw.

Wrendog (A.K.A Ren, credit to @smoozie for the name!)

Strong, fierce and prideful, Wrendog often finds himself desiring places of power, to be in the front lines of battle and general fame. He's more traditional as far as his skill goes, however, focusing primarily on hunting or fighting rather than tinkering.

Mossfur (A.K.A Bdubs, @smoozie thought of the same name as me this time lol)

A small, fluffy tom who seems rather child-like at times, a sweet heart with sudden explosions of anger all said in a voice that makes others often laugh it off or quote it. Often he doesn't let this get to him though. He's mentor to Peacepaw, and surprisingly good at it.

Cubfur (A.K.A Cub)

A smart warrior who knows the ins and outs of the clan very well, usually very reliable.

Silverfox (A.K.A Etho)

A smart senior warrior who used to be a great fighter before his depth perception was thrown off because of injury. Now he's known as a tinkerer for Hermitclan, often lending a paw to Flametuft's bizarre contraptions or helping out where he can.

Sunfeather (A.K.A Grian)

Mischevious, and surprisingly smart in a way that is often seen as a double edged sword thanks to his pranks, Sunfeather is another more traditional warriors if only because he seems too often mess up tinkerers work if he tries. He has a rather good representation among his clan, with being trained by Voidstar and looking out for them all. Adopted older brother of Flutterpaw and mentor to Patchpaw.

Burstscar (A.K.A Doc)

One of the examples of an expert tinkerer, Burstscar can often be seen working on something, usually it's insane but it doesn't often help the clan in any active way. he achieves all his other duties though, so nobody can complain. Got his scars from an explosion while he was working.

Scarheart (A.K.A Scar)

A kind warrior who was born with lame hind legs, and thus got his training fairly late. At first he was training under Stressleaf to be a medicine cat but after the tinkers made him a mobility aid he exists in some weird in-between where he helps with both but isn't quite either. Surprisingly good at hunting and fighting despite the limitation.

Random AU: Mapleshade's kits survive but...

Mapleshade's kits survive because she gets them out of the river. However, in the process of saving them, she gets killed by the river and whisked away from the shore.

Afterwards, a cat comes along from Windclan and takes the kits back to camp. When said cat asks during a gathering about the kits, no one gives an answer. Those who knew what happened were too guilty to speak up. And so Windclan raises all three kits, naming them Patchkit, Petalkit, and Larchkit, just how Mapleshade would've named them (coincidence).

As they grow up, each train well and hard. However, Petalpaw is diagnosed with juvenile arthritis (or in Warriors terms, constant joint pain) due to the river stressing out her joints. She begs for a chance to prove herself, in which the leader hesitantly accepts.

Larchpaw ends up being pretty cocky, wanting to show off and doing anything to prove something to the clan so that they wouldn't antagonize him for not belonging there. He tries to convince Patchpaw to do the same, but is unable to.

Patchpaw turns out to be shy sometimes while enthusiastic other times. He is very friendly but seems to freeze in the dace of danger. Their queen was concerned for a time that Patchpaw wouldn't make a good warrior due to his pacifistic nature.

Soon, the three kits began uncovering mysteries of their parents. First having theories as to which clan they are from. During their first few gatherings, they each note the similarities between them and some of the clans' members, even pointing out Appledusk, along with others such as Frecklewish, Seedpelt, and Reedshine.

Larchpaw steps forward to talk to other apprentices about recent tragedies, even listening to the stories of some of the Warriors. He noticed that Frecklewish seemed nervous around them, or whenever she saw them, and went to ask her questions, only for her to avoid them.

Eventually, Frecklewish tells Larchpaw everything, describing Mapleshade's relationship with an outside cat and everything else she knows. During her retelling, she accidentally tells Larchpaw that she saw Mapleshade be taken away by the current.

When Larchpaw tells Petalpaw and Patchpaw what he found out, they quickly sneak out of camp that night and follow the river until they come across a tom named Myler. Myler tells the kits about Mapleshade, saying that she had gotten snagged on a stone, but by the time he got her out, she was already gone.

Larchpaw becomes upset, alot with the other two kits, and with help from Patchpaw, decides to hunt after Frecklewish. Petalpaw didn't want to hurt anyone, just become a warrior and let the past slide. She decides to stay out of their bloodthirsty plan of vengeance, deciding not to tell anyone either what they were up to.

Of course, Larchpaw and Patchpaw waited a few more moons until they were Warriors. Larchneedle, Patchclaw, and Petalheart were their names.

When Frecklewish comes to Sunningrocks, Larchneedle corners her close to an adder den, Patchclaw standing above it. Frecklewish tries to fight Larchneedle, which causes him and Patchclaw, who collapses onto Frecklewish from the ledge, to work together in terms of pinning her down. They asks more questions, Frecklewish unable to give answers as to who the father is or much more information. And with aggravation, they drag her next to the adder den where she is left to die by an adder bite.

I haven't yet came up with the rest of the story, but maybe I'll continue this at some point. My memory isn't that good so I may have mixed up or missed some details, sorry bout that.

[faeriekougraz]

ya gotta tell me more about this mapleshade/star au cause i am intrigued ‼️‼️

YIPPEEe!!! OKAY so im not gonna spoil everything (i lied i did) but im hoping to basically branch this out into an au that changes everything i dislike in the series.

so mapleshade still gets pregnant by appledusk and lies to thunderclan. however over the time of her pregnancy, she develops feelings for frecklewish. and near the end of her pregnancy she feels guilt over lying. the two of them grow extremely close and so before she gives birth, her and frecklewish go on a walk together and she tells her the truth. frecklewish is shocked and obviously hurt, and she turns to leave however maple grasps at her tail trying to beg her to stay. Freckle, startled and upset, unintentionally slashes maples face (giving her the first scar). freckle apologizes, obviously upset that she injured maple. she states that she will keep the secret but she needs time away from mapleshade. after that, the last bit of her pregnancy, mapleshade is more or less alone. she gives birth to her 3 kits and adores them. things go on as normal for the most part.

when ravenwing approaches maple, he confronts her about the lie and tells her he cant lie to their clan like she has. when he turns to sprint away, again she goes after them and in anger ravenwing slashes her side. he yells at her and rushes back to camp. maple and her kits are obviously startled so she takes her time heading back to camp.

when there, the clan is already gathered around the high rock. oakstar is at the top and ravenwing is standing below him with frecklewish by his side. maple tells her kits to rest near the camp entrance while she heads into the center to be addressed by oakstar. the whole spiel about her lying is brought up and right before oakstar banishes her and her kits frecklewish runs out and claims that the kits are also hers. oakstar obv calls her out saying "they cant be yours" kinda thing however she argues back. despite his anger, oakstar leaves the topic alone and dismisses the clan since he can't imagine hurting his daughter after everything.

after all this, freckle and maple get back together and raise the kits. ravenwing hates maple and hates that she got away with everything however they make amends when frecklewish gets bitten by a snake on a patrol and maple and raven work together to save her life.

at a gathering riverclan is confronted about their clanmate lying to them. and he basically gets shunned (but is allowed to stay in riverclan). after this he becomes really controlling over reedshine and perchpaw and is a major asshole. he also develops an obsession with the idea of getting revenge on mapleshade in a future battle for what "she did". eventually deciding to attack her outside of a battle. he tries to kill her however frecklewish and oakstar manage to save her and appledusk gives her the scar on her chest before he's killed.

okay now for some bullet point info

perchpaw (appledusks apprentice) ends up in a relationship later down the line with maples son larchkit

patchpaw ends up in a relationship with nettlepaw

oakstar gives mapleshade the position of deputy rather than doestar. her scar on her chest is her leader marking

petalpaw either leaves the clan to be a kitty pet or falls in love with a kitty pet (havent decided) and has firestar and his sister! so firestar is a descendent of mapleshade

each scar on maple is given to her by someone she would have killed in canon. frecklewish's on the face (where freckles are), ravenwing's on the side (where a wing would be), and then appledusk just on her chest to try and kill her

appledusk basically takes maples place in this au

Super fond of this little illustration I made, poor patchpaw. :( Moonshadow is my friend Bubble’s oc. They’re the dark cat 🐈‍⬛

Patchpaw climbing the great sycamore!

[splinterclan]

Are my eyes going crazy, or is Cedarheart’s scar starting to fade??? :0

Yea it is!! I start fading out scars after a while if they aren't cool design-wise to me ahah Myrtlebloom's tail scar from her fight with a dog also disappeared a long time ago!

YEEEE Thank you!!! :DD

Awh thank you!! don't put yourself down like that either, art just takes practice :>

She left when she was an apprentice and her name then was Patchpaw - I think if she'd made it to warrior her name would've had to be Patchclaw or Patchfang. Something to match her fierce nature!

Wah thank you! :D I love drawing forests <3
