Final doodle for these OCs today. Tosses you Swiftcry/star

Also while this hasn't come up with someone asking me about it, I just wanted to clarify since I know that me being so secretive about these OCs is confusing/annoying at best and infuriating at worst; I'm just very secretive/protective of these OCs and their backstories because Snowflurry/his story/cats related to Snowflurry's story was/were made during probably the darkest period of my life as a way to vent about what was happening. And so because of that, their stories contain a lot of dark themes that I'm not necessarily comfortable talking about publicly, especially since it's so personal and I'm embarrassed about what happened enough as it is. But I still love these guys to death so I do want to talk about them. I'm always very conflicted on what to do with the art I create using them, so whenever I have art that isn't too "vent-y" or story-related (like this one), I want to share it

Swiftstar is the laid back and casanova type leader of Moorclan!!

He is well respected amongst his clanmates and has proven, despite initial doubts, that he really was meant to lead their clan. He's getting up there in years and would be considered a senior warrior by now but that hasn't slowed him down in the slightest, he's still got many more lives to live!

He's quite the flirt and isn't shy to show it, toms and she-cats alike aren't safe from his charms and quick wit.

His fur is also perpetually damp and matted as well, try as he and anyone else might nothing just seems to work. Part of this is due to the marshy territory he lives in, the other part is that his coat never really took to the oils his clan uses from waterfowl preening glands to help waterproof their coats.

Swiftstar (oc)

[the-owl-tree]

part of the appeal is like the fucked upness of such a young character becoming leader so quickly, out of necessity because of how bad things had gotten. like yeah someone so young and inexperienced shouldn’t be leader, and yet here we are! #ilovesuffering

i am not above enjoying the grim irony of froststar becoming what curlfeather sought to be. i would eat that up in a heartbeat.

[tears-of-the-moor-and-more]

me when I

so yeah as it turns out putting the books for the series on here would be smart I fear

oh and because I have zero self restraint I already began two super editions for crowbloom (funny guy) and pinewing (old 2018 oc HELP)

explodes into rainbow confetti and various pieces of raw meat

oh and a list of the everyone, clans and map are all forest territories, not sure if my thing counts as an AU or what but uhhhh, it’s there !!!! who knows x3

Better Bones WindClan Family Tree: Draft 1

[ID: The WindClan family tree for Better Bones. It's a color-coded chart of over 122 cats, with all of the cats alive as of the newest arc marked in green, and the 'progenitors' of each line marked in yellow.]

You may also want to see:

The Canon WindClan Diagnosis (for comparison)

ThunderClan

RiverClan

SkyClan

For the past few days, I've been trying to make ends meet with this tree. WindClan's biggest problem is how very few cats it has in-canon, with the Erins practically forgetting an entire generation between Tallstar's Revenge and TPB. As a result, I had to make this thing nearly from scratch.

The result is before you; there are 122 cats on this chart at the moment! I've used Missing Kits to try and patch the "bald spot" in the timeline, but I admittedly did have to scrounge up a couple cats here. There are still no OCs on this tree, but some unnamed background characters have been given names.

(I am also watching authorial statements like a HAWK in the hopes they will drop more names I can use to pad out some of the single-kit litters, like Appledawn's single kid Adderstone there)

I also have tried to balance the size of this Clan with BB!ThunderClan's count by ASC. There's now a little over 30 cats in this Clan.

Most of these trees have renamings, removals, and a changelog-- this one's going to be a bit different. Below the cut, you will see Renamings, Reserves, and a Changelog.

RENAMINGS: Format: Old Name (Origin) -> New Name (Reason)

Stagleap (WC) -> Stagfur (conflict)

Robinwing (WC) -> Robinflight (conflict)

Hickorynose -> Chicorynose (ecological accuracy)

Tornear -> Torear (Minor change to prevent him from being born Tornkit)

"Brown Tabby Tom" (Fire and Ice) -> Sparrowspeck (unnamed)

Whitetail's first sibling (OSC) -> Blackfur (unnamed; will update to canon name when revealed)

Whitetail's second sibling (OSC) -> Grayfoot (unnamed; will update to canon name when revealed)

Eaglekit (SSMK) -> Eagleswoop (save)

Storkkit (SSMK) -> Storkfeather (save)

Quailkit (SSMK) -> Quailheart (save)

Downkit (SSMK) -> Downwind (save)

Hillkit (SSMK) -> Hillrunner (save)

Adderkit (Cats of the Clans) -> Adderstone (save)

Galekit (OSC) -> Galerunner (save)

Buzzardkit (Po3) -> Buzzardclaw (save)

Drizzlepaw (SSMK) -> Drizzlefall (save)

Rustlepaw (SSMK) -> Rustlebush* (save) = Suffix might change, I'm not satisfied with it

Cranberrypaw (SSMK) -> Cranberrysplash (save)

Milkfur (FQ) -> Milktooth (conflict)

Snapper (Ravenpaw's Path) -> Snapstorm (MASSIVELY repurposed.)

Brushpaw (OSC) -> Brushblaze (save/repurpose)

Quickpaw (CotC) -> Quickclaw (shuffle)

Thistlepaw (CotC) -> Thistleseed (shuffle)

Pricklekit (CotC) -> Pricklepelt (shuffle)

(SSMK = Su Susann's Missing Kits)

RESERVES: There weren't enough cats for me to even consider cutting any; instead, here are some extra characters from field guides and unnamed in the background who could possibly show up again.

"Tortoiseshell Queen" from Fire and Ice; may just be Quailheart or Storkfeather, if not, her name will be Ruffclaw

"Gray Tom" from Fire and Ice; if named, he will be called Chipstone.

Swiftstar, Dalestar, Thrushbreeze, and Larkstripe's unnamed honor sire are all characters in Ripplestar's Rot, but they're just a bit too far back to be relevant at the moment.

Hareflight (FQ) is from the same time period. If they show up again, their name will be Harefrost.

Whitetail from Tigerclaw's leader ceremony was a WindClan cat in BB; she doesn't show up to his ceremony in this story, but she could appear on the tree at some point. If she does, her name will be Whitetuft.

From Code of the Clans, I am holding onto; Pebblefur, Acorntail, Morningcloud, Cloversplash, and Gorseclaw who would be renamed to Whinclaw.

Several leaders and Clerics could appear if BB ever went further back than Ripplestar's Rot. Swiftfoot, Stonestar, Duststar, Dovestar, Featherstar, Fallowstar, Rabbitstar... plus Mudpuddle, an ancient deputy.

Wanderkit and Muddyclaw from the Adventure Game are from WindClan; but currently not needed

Brightheart's surrogate kittens, Ambermoon, Snowbush, and Dewnose. Some could show up here if needed.

NOTE: If any of these characters show up again in canon, or are confirmed by authorial statement to have a different name, I will abide by that and update accordingly (unless the name is, of course, a conflict).

CHANGELOG: I tell you why I did the things and also point out what's different

Because this Clan was so empty and full of orphan warriors, I was able to completely make it however I wanted.

I also tried to make sure that MODERN WindClan is still VERY clean. Most of canon's "orphan warriors" are totally capable of being mixed with just about anyone else who's around in WindClan.

This is so I can accommodate just about whatever the Erins throw at us... within reason of course. Never doubt the Erin's ability to ruin a family tree.

In BB, Sunstrike and Furzepelt have expanded roles and survive to at least TBC, so I decided they would get Slightfoot. They're the kind of girls who would raise a rebel like him.

Ryestalk has been moved out of the Mist/Hare family. I have more need for her as a clean cat; and a better story to tell of her being afraid of tunneling. Her mother, Leafshine, died in a collapse.

I wanted to find some sort of in-between cat for Pigeonflight and Cranberrysplash, but unfortunately, I ran out of cats. She is probably adopted; found abandoned.

Fernstripe might move around in the future; for now she is a later birth to CranberryxDrizzle. If she moves, it'll probably be to SunxFurze.

Whiskernose is older now because I reworked his purpose in the Dark Forest

Drizzlefall was initially Runningbrook's child. When she dies in TNP, Webfoot raised her alongside his own kid, Rustlebush. They are marked as siblings for that purpose.

Mudclaw and Whitewater of ShadowClan had an unimportant fling during the journey. They both agreed it was an honor siring and would be kept quiet-- but Whitewater became a supporter of his during the rebellion.

When Mudclaw was smote by StarClan, she felt that the kittens were cursed.

She contacted Torear and arranged for him to take his nespring, but the night of the meeting, a snowstorm tore through the Clans. She couldn't take the runt, else he would freeze.

So, she kept Owlclaw of ShadowClan, and Harestar and Kestrelflight went to WindClan.

Brushblaze and Snapstorm are both ex-BloodClan, they did trading with WindClan just after the BloodClan battle, when Tallstar and Firestar opened up peace talks with the defeated Scourge.

Hareheatherbreeze and the Onestar Drama

So of course, one of the bigger changes in BB is that Harestar, Heathertail, and Breezepelt are in a polycule. I did a LOT with this fix in mind.

Onestar is now a single kitten. In Clanmew, his prefix is "Ul-arra," a whole fraction.

This was an expression of grief, as his mother Larksplash died in childbirth, along with his siblings. Cloudrunner was distant, unfortunately never recovering from the ordeal.

Him and Larksplash were quite old to be having a litter, and they knew the risks, but Onestar always felt like Cloudrunner blamed him, in a way.

Eventually, he wanted to raise a child. Whitetail honor dammed for him, and offered open coparentage, but Onestar politely declined. It was known Whitetail was Heathertail's parent, but they weren't very close.

Probably through a shared grievance with Onestar and feelings of responsibility over Heather, Whitetail and Brushblaze became very close. They eventually had two kittens-- Smokekit and Galekit.

Onestar interpreted this as them both trying to tell him they knew about Smoke, slipping further into paranoia towards the end.

Heathertail LOVED the two of them right away.

Unfortunately, Brushblaze laid down his life saving Kin refugees, including Heathertail and Breezepelt, by collapsing an escape tunnel on top of himself.

Galerunner and Smokehaze were only a few months old at the time.

Hareheatherbreeze will be keeping Brindlewing, Appleshine, and Woodsong! Brindlewing was first, with Apple and Wood coming in a second litter.

Tallstar's Family

In Tallstar's Collapse, Talltail leaves WindClan for a long period of time. He wandered with Jake and his family of nomads, eventually finding foundling kittens and deciding to adopt them with him.

But, eventually, he couldn't resist the pull of homesickness, and the desire to try and fix things in WindClan. He tried to leave the family he'd made behind-- but Fly followed him.

Talltail, naively, believed that Fly would remain innocent. That the kid would be above the battle culture of the Clans. He was wrong.

Fly became a ferocious warrior, even competing with him for the deputy position. If Talltail hadn't been quick or keen enough to kill an adder that was going for Heatherstar's grand-nephew, Flytail may have become leader of WindClan.

The kit was named Adderkit for this event, later becoming Adderstone.

Flytail, his mate Eagleswoop, and one of his daughters died in the WindClan Massacre. Talltail had already lost two half-siblings in the war.

What was once a large family was reduced to Tallstar, Stoneclaw, Wrenflight and her children.

Stoneclaw put off having kits for a time, eventually having two one-kit litters with her mate, Snapstorm; Buzzardclaw and Crouchfoot.

Swiftstar 🤝 baphomet (my timeloop cat oc)

Very funny that swiftstar is super apathetic while baphomet cares way too much and wants to save everyone he can (cats and humans alike) but they just can't. Putting these 2 next to each other so they both explode

swiftstar used to be a huge bleeding heart actually!!! he was filled with whimsy once... so yes he'd bite baphomet's head off LMAO

[warriorcatsamino]

this art is so cool! it was made by the talented shadyviper, and it's of his oc, swiftstar. i love the eerie red glow topped with the menacing disposition that swiftstar has. overall, shadyviper did a wonderful job, and you should definitely go check out the original post!

Shes my sillyyy.. she murdered six people but that doesnt matterrrr...

Her name is Swiftstar, she's a warrior cats OC and a banished former leader of RiverClan. Committed lotsa murders. Actually now that I'm counting it's 7, not 6. Born a house cat but got taken into the Clans (specifically WindClan) as a kid, experienced The Horrors™️, killed a few people (cats), got caught during one attempted murder, and fled the Clans with her loyal cross-Clan girlfriend Stormstripe. :3

Both girlies pictured here (Swiftstar onnthe left, Stormstripe on the right).

Swiftstar is bisexual and probably repressed trans (she'd be much happier if she recognized she was a feminine enby rather than female, which she may do later...) and uses she/her pronouns but will probably later (as I'm still forming the later years of her life) start using they/she/he. Stormstripe is a butch lesbian and is transfem, uses she/her pronouns but doesn't mind any except "he".

Feel free to ask anything else about them or for me to elaborate btw (that goes for anyone with interest) I first made these OCs in 1st grade and have just shaped them from there so they're my OCs with probably the most lore.

New pfp :000

it’s probably been there for like a week but it only just filtered through into my brain

:)) nope! Just changed it last night! Hehe. It's my oldest OC's redesign..
