Trillflea (grandson [Proteafang's kit])

Proteafang is mates with Tawnytrot (an adoptive FadingstarXFleathistle kit). Tawny is the bio mother to Ashy and Woolcarder, while Protea is the bio mother to Trill and Cardinal. The litters were born close to the same time. The couple's friend, Webfang (a bio LilywaterXWebstripe, adoptive ScaleearsXIvyspots kit), was the donor for both.

Doefire is in a poly with Weepingwobble (a FadingstarXFleathistle kit) and Lilyclaw (a bio LilywaterXWebstripe, adoptive ScaleearsXIvyspots kit). Weeping is the father to Ibex and Coyote, while Lily is the father to Osprey and Scorpion.

========================

========================

========================

========================

Kit order+ages:

--Lightswan (adoptive) 

--Molechive, Froststorm (adoptive)

--Ashmint (adoptive)

--Proteafang, Doefire, Jaykit, Fressiakit (bio)

~~~~~~~~~

They then become a poly with Foxfire and Birchflight.

Then Gorseheart has these kits with Birch:

--Adderclaw, Larksnow, Haretuft

only a moon before Ember has these kits with Fox:

--Cloudstep, Sootshade

~~~~~~~~~

Later, Birch and Fox have their own kits together:

--Maplefang, Feathergale, Toadjay, Shellmink

~~~~~~~~~

Gorse and Ember have a second bio litter:

--Chukarvole, Pasquelull, Tritoniafinch, Choughwolf

~~~~~~~~~

Mallowkit had younger siblings and harsh parents, and took those younger siblings somewhere they would be safe. They decide to take them to Emberdawn, who was nursing do to currently being a surrogate.

The family decide to take the kits in as well as Mallowkit, and name them

--Mallowblight, Thornbloom, Fireclaw, Halfsong

~~~~~~~~~

Finally, Birchflight became pregnant with Gorseheart's and Foxfire's kits at the same time and had:

--Twitchkit (BxG), Nettlekit (BxF)

========================

========================

Age Differences For The Kits:

1) Lightswan was adopted when she was roughly four moons old (this age could change as it is an estimation).

~~

2) Molechive and Froststorm died five moons after Lightswan at age five moons, making her five moons older than them.

~~

3) Ashmint died at two moons old twenty-three moons after Molechive and Froststorm died, making them twenty-six moons older than him.

~~

4) Proteafang, Doefire, Fressiakit, and Jaykit were born one moon after Ashmint died and are three moons younger than him. Protea and Doe were adults when their parents became a poly and when both their younger siblings were born (Jay and Fressia died).

~~

5) Adderclaw, Larksnow, and Haretuft are twenty-five moons younger than Proteafang and Doefire, and were born four moons after their parents became an official poly. They are also one moon older than Cloudstep and Sootshade (their mothers being pregnant at almost the same time).

~~

6) Maplefang, Feathergale, Toadjay, and Shellmink were born thirty-two moons after 5 earned their full names, making them at least 44 moons younger

~~

7) Chukarvole, Pasquelull, Tritoniafinch, and Choughwolf were born 376 moons after 6 was born, making them that much younger.

~~

8) Mallowblight was 4.5 moons old when their younger siblings were born. When they were old enough to walk (waddle, more of), Mallowkit lead them to milk, and they joined the Tunnel family. This was roughly 142 moons after 7 were born, making Halfsong, Thornbloom, and Fireclaw that much younger and Mallowblight 137.5 moons younger.

~~

9) Twitchkit and Nettlekit were born 27 moons after 8 were adopted, making them that much younger than Halfsong, Thornbloom, and Fireclaw, and 31.5 moons younger than Mallowblight.

=================================

Going with a big timespan for Ashmint because it’s odd to have so many kits go to the DF at around the same time, so want to spread it out a bit.

That's also why I stretched out their ages from the original: they have so many kits because they're dead for eternity, so why have all the kits born within a lifetime of each other?

The 7th litter was born so long after 6 because all the parents had a litter with the other (FoxXBirch, GorseXBirch, GorseXEmber, EmberXFox), so none of them felt a 'need' for another litter. It's possible they weren't planned.

The specific number, 376, was chosen because that is twice the age of Mistystar, who lived a long life.
