Kits of Lightleap and Blazefire

[rosemist50]

Hi so uh, here are the rest of them! New apprentices and kits for every clan! Up first are Sunbeam and Nightheart's kits, Goldenpaw and Shinepaw. I'm pretty happy with how these two came out, if I go into every trait and where it came from I'd run outta room for this post 😅 Next is Redpaw and Sprucepaw from Shadowclan, unknown parentage. I tried to channel the classic light stripes on darker body from like 2013 era Warrior Cats with Sprucepaw. Then is Robinpaw and Starlingpaw, kits of Needleclaw and Kitescratch. I only noticed just now that Kitescratch's line has been named after birds which I think is adorable 💕💕 Then, Silkypaw and Fluffypaw (yes actually) from Windclan, unknown parentage. You forced my hand, here is what I consider to be silky and fluffy, though these are more on the extreme end. After is the new kits! First is Oakkit, Sunkit, and Hazelkit, children of Myrtlebloom, unknown father. Then Quickkit, Beechkit, and Poolkit, children of Lightleap and Blazefire. Poolkit is meant to be leucistic, it was the only way I could justify her being "white". Beechkit is the Tigerclone. And Quickkit looks like his great-grandfather. After them is Rustlekit and Stretchkit, children of Appleshine, and Heronkit and Eelkit, children of Floatshimmer. For all of the kits without a named father I have a best guess in mind, but it was still frustrating bc I'd want to use a trait from the father's line, but I want those traits to stay unique to that line, and without confirmation I can't give the trait to the kit. Blergh.

Up next for the new LightBlaze kits is little Quickkit. :D Love his name.

Quickkit has no physical description given other than his pattern, so I came up with my own for him. He's floofy like his brother, I'll settle more on body type as he ages.

For his pattern, Quickkit is described as a ginger tabby tom. He's a lighter shade of his dad's reddish ginger, with tabby markings similar to his mom, and great-grandma Tawnypelt's green eyes.

Overall, I'm really pleased with how he turned out. ^^

A conversation with the past.

[prismjiinx]

Quick Firefam rewrite family tree I did for funsies + to attempt to finalize who is related to who later down the line. (I apolgize in advance for my handwriting)

Gen 1: Princess/Pineleaf and Firestar

Gen 2: Cloudtail, Squirrelstar and Leafpool

Gen 3: Whitewing, Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, Jayfeather, Sparkfire, Alderheart

Gen 4: Ivypool, Dovewing, Ambermoon, Dewnose, Snowfall, Finchlight, Nightblaze, Flickerkit

Gen 5: Bristlefrost, Thriftear, Flipclaw, Shadowsight, Lightleap, Pouncestep, Birchfeather, Rowankit (I forgor)

Gen 6: Sprucepaw, Redpaw, Poolkit, Beechkit, Quickkit

Name changes:

Princess -> Pineleaf

Princess ends up staying in Thunderclan after bringing Cloudtail to camp in hopes of helping him (he was born a very sickly kit, but she trusted her brother and his clan so she went to him for help in her desperation). She changes her name once she decides to stay, and is named Pineleaf (may or may not keep it)

Shrewpaw -> Shrewnose

Shrewpaw survives! I liked the idea that Spiderleg was named for his long legs, so Shrewpaw gets a similar name, for his short snout. Firestar had a field day with the two brothers lol

Sparkpelt -> Sparkfire

I keep going back and forth if whether or not I like Sparkfire or Sparkstorm more, currently the Sparkfire side is winning.

Reasons for Sparkstorm though -> She has her grandma's suffix, just like how Alderheart has his grandpaw's

Nightheart -> Nightblaze

I don't like Nightheart's name that much, or his original name Flameheart. I like the blaze suffix more because it fits with the naming of his siblings and it's not an often used suffix (and I want to try to avoid/ take a different approach on his problems with legacy. Once I've finished ASC I think I'll have a better idea with where to take him since he's also getting his protagonist rights revoked because it doesn't fit the overall narrative, but he's still a major character for sure)

Snowbush -> Snowfall

He's named after his father just like how Dovewing was named after her mother :>

(Also I don't think that Squirrelstar would give a cat the bush suffix, heh)

Relationship changes:

Squirrelstar X Shrewnose, Jayfeather X Briarlight and Shadowsight X Rootspring are all QPRs

Cloudtail is an only child, Nami Zack and co don't exist

Firestar and Pineleaf are not related to Scourge, I never really cared for that connection

On that same note, Tommy Fliou and Luna aren't relevant either

Ambermoon, Dewnose and Snowfall are Birchfall and Whitewing's second litter, no longer Brightheart and Cloudtail's. They would be older apprentices by the time Sparkfire and Alderheart are apprenticed

Dandelionkit and Juniperkit won't exist in Thunderclan, they'll be added as existing Windclan cats with Rouge/Loner background (and live)

Alderheart is in a polyamorous relationship with Velvet and Puddleshine

Cloverfoot is now Dovewing's mate

Lightleap and Blazefire are still together but they are a childless couple and the litter of Poolkit, Quickkit and Beechkit is given to Pouncestep and Flaxfoot (might be temporary though, might hand them and Lightleap over towards the Tigerkin instead)

Nightblaze and Sunbeam don't get together (no romantic feelings between them either)

Other changes: I forgot to give some cats mates within the tree whoops

Hollyleaf and Willowshine have a complicated relationship. They're very close platonically, but struggled a lot with their mutal romantic feelings. Hollyleaf tries to deflect and ignore her feelings due to her beliefs regarding the warrior code and Willowshine is hurt by Hollyleaf actions when she reveals her parentage (the Gathering scene remains unchanged, but Holly didnt kill Ashfur this time around) Willowshine is half-clan as well, her parents being Swallowtail and Rainwhisker, so these events break her trust. Sometime before the Battle against the Dark Forest, they make amends and consider their romantic options again, but their time is cut brutally short when Hollyleaf dies fighting on the battle field. There is a lot of grief but no regret from either molly.

Lionblaze had a multitude of crushes (def Berrynose, Heathertail, Cinderheart to name a few) but nothing ever came of them (He's not in a good headspace during his time alive to start dating either, so nothing ever happens/ works out

Flipclaw X Featherhawk (Feather of Flying Hawk) is now a Skyclan cat, son of Stormfur and Brook, who Flipclaw leaves Thunderclan for to be with

Thriftear X Plumstone is another one i'm considering, their existing friendship in the books is very cute

I'm also considering if I want Jayfeather and Briarlight to remain childless or if they adopt Snaptooth and Flywhisker, rn it's on the fence

I also want to pair either Dewnose or Snowfall with someone outside of Thunderclan (too many characters related to them in and around their age group) once I've got the other clans figured out, rn it's probably going to be a Riverclan or Winclan cat

That should be it for now!
