Is Ashfur named for the powdery gray stuff you get after a fire or for ash trees? I always assumed it was the first, but since both of his sisters were named after plants it would be kind of cute if it were the second. Assuming of course there's a population of ash trees in Albion!

Ash trees!! In fact, the "Ash" pun in English doesn't translate into Clanmew at all!

It's actually kinda strange how in-canon, they have so many words for fire-related concepts. In BB the Clan cats have fire, but isn't it kinda weird that Canon has "soot," "ash," AND "cinder" when the Clans only see a fire once in a generation? When they don't even have a word for Car or Road, no less?

Anyway, in Clanmew they have one word for cinders/ashes as in "the end result of a burning fire", seen in Cinderpelt and Cinderheart, and another for soot, as seen in Sootfur, which is a fine residue that builds up in their ovens and fires and can be used to make a simple paint which we call "Bistre."

Ashfur's name refers to ash trees, the 3rd most common tree in the UK. Brindleface really liked plants. If Ashkit had a littermate, she would have liked to name them after a different type of fern than Ferncloud to keep a Tree/Fern theme going.

The Foundations of the Skykin — the descendants of Cloudstar and Birdflight

I’ll explain these cats later in a different post (still drafting the story), but for now here are the major character changes from canon for context:

1. Birdflight goes to Shadowclan and is invited into the clan by the priest, Molepelt. Dawnstar is the least adamant that Skyclan leave and honestly given Redstar’s attitude and previous battles with Skyclan it makes no sense for Bird and her kits to go to Thunderclan.

2. Gorseclaw and Spottedpelt are now Lichenshade and Orchidblaze and they’re designs have been altered. Lichen is light brown rather than dark and Orchid is a dilute calico. I didn’t like how Gorse and Spotted were supposed to be the spitting images of Tigerclaw and Spottedleaf. The larger time gap in this au doesn’t make that make any sense either. So, they are their own cats now.

Some other fun facts:

1. Birdflight was a Skyclan Protector and was a renowed warrior within her clan, known particularly for her skill in ambushing and stalking opponents. She had a kind face but nasty claws.

2. Every cat in this tree (with one exception) is a protector. The warrior’s honor is strong in this family and they place a lot of value in combat skill. Sedgecloud is the only cat who is not a protector, and she instead is a Shadowclan priest.

Eventually I’ll put together a full family tree from Cloudstar down to the present, but it’ll be awhile before that

Hail, True Body Warriors AU

Gonna do this as bullets of random information I have gathered since tying everything together into a cohesive storyline is something I’ll battle when I feel conscious.

- Mimics are dark forest warriors, specifically those who have nearly faded away complete as they’re easier to control and influence as compared to the ambition fueled fresh ones. They are able to be led into a living cats dreams through the help of a Starclan cat(Morningstar/Lucifer in this case), where they kill the cat in their dream, and use it to swap places with them and wake up in their body instead.

-Cedarlily/Mark’s grandfather is the current leader of Thunderclan, with Copperstrike/Cian being deputy. This is kind of the reason he was given the suffix he has, as he was seen as lesser then the other apprentices as he grew, and was cursed to have the suffix of a flower as compared to the other more fierce names of his fellow warriors. He usually tries to keep his name hidden from as many people as possible, opting instead for Cedarfang when he can.

-Morningstar is a Starclan cat, he was given this blessing due to the fact that in his life, despite his technical crimes, he never once believed he was breaking the warrior code, and was completely in the thought that he was doing good for the clans. Basically got the Mudclaw treatment, damned bastard. Completely guiltless so now hes allowed in cat heaven.

-Badgersight/Sam was Thunderclan’s previous medicine cat, until he was exiled for breaking the warrior code due to a vision he had recieved from Starclan. He spends his time living around the territory, bouncing from place to place as to not ever be caught. This also helps him keep his Thunderclan scent and not be confused for a full rogue, which would warrant an investigation.

-Azreal has the same name, as he is a kittypet

-Appletuft/Adam was a kit found abandoned on Shadowclan territory, and subsequently adopted into it. He was lucky to have already been mostly weaned, as no queen wanted to take him for more then a week due to his aggressive behavior towards his ‘siblings’. He’s a bit of a Cuckoo in that way, a creature of the outside doomed to remove resources from the home that fosters them, all before the others, and completely in favor of itself. Despite how his aggression made the clan have a very deep distaste for him, he was a perfect warrior. Addershine/Eve is his current mate.

-On the outskirts of all territories there is a rogue, fur a deep non-reflective black. He comes and goes as he pleases and no one has ever stopped him. If asked for a name, he only says Nobody. Elders like to scare the kits with the story, how he’s an omen, a warning of horrors soon to come. Cedarkit never believed them.

-Briarcloud/Bethany was a fierce warrior, who had the unfortunate habit of wandering. It’s how she discovered a kittypet and Shadowclan warrior having peaceful conversation on the edge of the latters territory. She was intrigued the moment she saw it.

-Robinwind/Cesar didn’t just die when he was killed, but something worse. For a clan cat to die in the midst of the Place With No Stars was an after life sentenced to pain and misery, of being trapped lost in this horrible place of pain, cursed to always walk alone along the thistles and blood. It’s easy to become lost in a place with no end. Starclan keeps it’s borders well hidden from it’s dark siblings.

Slowly rewriting the silly little warriors fancomic I made when I was 15, so have Thunderclan's trainwreck of a leadership crew

Scattered family

[blimbo-buddy]

Imagine if BristleFrost had more connection towards DoveWing's family and was in Shadowclan for a good bit, and when she was dying in that damn water, she was trying to think of fond memories of IvyPool and FernSong plus her time in Thunderclan and can barely remember anything about it because neither of her parents ever really talked to her. Then she goes "Oh well" and her mind immediately floods with memory after memory of DoveWing and her family plus her time in Shadowclan
