[PTabbedContent][PTab=Rules]
INTRODUCTION
Canon & Plot Adopts feature two specific kind of staff-created character and/or plot adopts:
a. Canon adopts - Characters who are direct descendants of or related by blood to previous leaders, deputies, medicine cats, tellers, or important figures in the clan/tribes' history. Canonical characters may or may not be important secondary characters related to the plot. To learn more about these character's ancestors, visit the NPC bios.Some Canon and Plot Adopts may be listed as secondary characters.
b. Plot adopts - Plots without a character in mind. So instead, we post a blank template, explaining the plot, and character needed for the role. These plots can be filled with a character you already play, or you can design one specifically for the role. Some may or may not be important secondary characters.
RULES
1. Members are required to fill out the form below if they want to adopt a canon character or plot.
2. Some Canon and Plot Adopts may be listed as secondary characters in their posting. You can read more on the High Position & Secondary Characters thread.
3. If a member becomes inactive for more than 1 month, they will lose the character or plot, and it will go back up for adoption.
4. Members also have one month to create the character's biography, or it will go back up for adoption.
5. Since these are canon adopts and related to established NPC characters, we ask that there be minimal changes to the outlines we have created. FCs, personalities, and suffixes are negotiable within reason!
6. If you want to negotiate parts of character, reach out to wish for permission.
7. This thread will be updated as we continue to create more NPCs and important site-wide plots. Make sure to check back for more!

ROWANLEAP
RedwoodClan | Warrior | Tom | 70 moons (same age as Loudstorm)
recommended long-haired red mackeral or classic tabby | recommended face claim
recommended long-haired red mackeral or classic tabby | recommended face claim
main points
2017
› Born during the leaf-fall of 2017, Rowankit entered a Clan on the precipice of war. A great-great-great-great-grandson of Ginger, his father, Oatscar proudly carried her outsider blood and his mate, Skyflame, advocated with him to continue RedwoodClan's open and accepting borders.
2018
› Becoming an apprentice in the new-leaf of 2018, Rowanpaw saw many skirmishes and was not a stranger to death. His mentor, Heavybranch, was a skilled fighter, particularly known for fighting among the canopy. He passed down his lessons onto Rowanpaw, who readily took to the fighting style.
› An infectious flirt, Rowanpaw used his dashing good looks and impressive strength to woo many of his den-mates. This brought him grief when he once tried to impress a group of ThistleClan apprentices at a Gathering, and he casually mentioned his ancestor, Ginger. They ridiculed him for his kitty-pet blood.
› Near the end of the 2018 season, he earned his warrior name Rowanleap after fighting in a skirmish against LichenClan. He dropped out of a tree alongside his mentor, and helped drive back the patrol.
2019
› Shortly after earning his name, Heatherstar was pronounced dead and Finchstar received his nine lives. Rowanleap supported the young and inexperienced leader and his decision to elect Minkfur, a former kitty-pet as his deputy.
› Around his twentieth moon, he slept with a den-mate, Duskshine, a former rogue who joined RedwoodClan as an apprentice. It was just a fling, but Duskshine found herself pregnant with his kits. They decided to become mates and try to make it work for Flickerkit and Flowerkit.
› However, right before the kits became apprentices, Rowanleap and Duskshine made the difficult decision to mutually break-up. Rowanleap could not picture himself settling down so young, and Duskshine was actually in love with someone else. Though she did not share this with the kits, and only publicly took on her new mate many moons later.
› Because of this, Rowanleap graciously took the blame for the break-up, which caused a rift between him and his son: Flickerpaw, who believed his parents split because Rowanleap was too promiscuous. Flowerpaw, however, was closer to her father, and did not blame him.
2020
› During the 2020 season, LichenClan declared war on RedwoodClan and attacked their camp after they agreed to help the Tribe. His mother, Skyflame was killed in the battle, which pushed Rowanleap to become more involved in the war. He offered canopy training sessions to warriors and apprentices alike and helped Finchstar and the other senior warriors strategize war efforts. He joined the attack on the MoonCave and remained a vital voice of support for Finchstar and his decision to help the tribe.
2021
› As the war bled into 2021, Rowanleap continued training warriors and apprentices, passing down Heavybranch's lessons. He was a strong voice against the militant members of their Clan, who questioned Finchstar's lead. Despite being a strong and capable fighter, Rowanleap disagreed with aggressive warmongering, and looked to alternate methods to end the war, such as working with the LichenClan rebels and using the refugees and Tribe cats to their advantage.
› Tensions with his son deepened, who adamantly criticized Rowanleap's tom-catting and sleeping around. When Flickersight's mate, Frecklewing, became pregnant with kits, Flickersight banned Rowanleap from the nursery and from meeting his children.
2022
› When Rowanleap learned of the rogues teaming up with LichenClan, he suggested that they seek out other outsiders who are unaffiliated with the rogues to get information.
› In green-leaf of 2022, his father, Oatscar, passed peacefully in his sleep as an elder.
› Despite wanting to meet his grandchildren, Rowanleap respected Flickersight's decision, and did not interact with them.
› At the end of the 2022 season, Rowanleap was summoned to fight in the great battle alongside his daughter Flowerfang in the canopy. They warded off several opponents and took two lives. When they returned to camp, they learned Flickersight's mate, Frecklewing, was killed. Rowanleap tried to comfort his son, but Flickersight only pushed him further away.
2023
› During the 2023 new-leaf flood, Duskshine was sent on a patrol to help LichenClan escape the waters. The current was too strong and washed her into the lake, where she was killed, leaving his children motherless.
Current Plot ideas
› As a senior warrior, Rowanleap has many friends, but he aches to rekindle his relationship with his son and meet his grandchildren. Will they ever repair it? Will he finally settle down? Will he continue training apprentices and warriors? Support Finchstar during a new era of peace?
personality suggestions
› Charismatic, Warm, Social, Captivating
› Fickle, Gullible, Immature, Overtrusting

2019
› Born during new-leaf 2019, Flickerkit entered RedwoodClan alongside his sister Flowerkit to Rowanleap and Duskshine. Despite never truly loving each other, his parents put on a good front and cared deeply for their children. Flickerkit was closer to his mother, but greatly admired his father and wanted to be a great warrior like him.
› From birth, Flickerkit was always quieter and more sensitive compared to his loud and boisterous sister. A silent, handsome, and brooding type, many of his den-mates had tiny kittenhood crushes on him, including the young Frecklekit. She toddled around after him, always wanting to play.
› Right before he became an apprentice, his parents broke-up. The split was very hard on Flickerkit, and he started to blame Rowanleap for 'destroying' their family after an apprentice told him his father slept around with everybody. Flowerpaw tried to convince him to forgive their father, but he only grew more resentful.
› Early into his apprenticeship, war is declared between RedwoodClan and LichenClan. Flickerpaw finds himself in a skirmish alongside his mentor, Brushshadow, and Frecklepaw. Flickerpaw ends up protecting Frecklepaw from an aggressive LichenClan apprentice, and her already blossoming crush on him deepens. They begin to spend more time together and Flickerpaw starts to like her back.
2020
› During green-leaf 2020, he earns his warrior name, Flickersight, for his stealth and spying abilities. Quieter and more reserved, he becomes known for fighting unexpectedly from the shadows. He refuses to fight among the trees, a decision to hurt his father, and only retreats to the canopy out of necessity.
› Shortly after earning his warrior name, he and Frecklewing become mates. He is sent to go fight in the MoonCave against LichenClan and does well in the battle, despite RedwoodClan losing the fight.
› His mother, Duskshine, takes on a new mate, and he is happy she's finally moved on from their father.
2021
› At the start of the 2021 season, Flowerfang falls ill. Flickersight spends a lot of time in the medicine cat's den keeping her company. They grow closer as siblings, and he confesses to her that he and Frecklewing have been struggling to have kits.
› As RedwoodClan strengthens their relationship with the LichenClan rebels, Flickersight helps Finchstar pass messages and works as a night sentry due to his stealth.
› Flickersight fights against LichenClan when they ambush RedwoodClan. He successfully wards off two warriors, but returns to camp, dismayed to find Frecklewing injured. This further puts off their dream of having children as she's bound to the medicine cat's den for several moons.
2022
› At the start of the 2022 season, Frecklewing finally falls heavy with kits and gives birth to their three children: Brookit, Creek-kit, and Splashkit. Flickersight forbids Rowanleap from seeing them.
› At the end of the 2022 season, Flickersight fights in the great war. He is separated from Frecklewing when they descend into the tunnels. He wins his fights and returns to camp. Frecklewing does not. She is killed in battle, widowing Flickersight and leaving their children motherless. Flickersight breaks down and pushes everyone away, including Flowerfang.
2023
› Slowly Flickersight's grief becomes more bearable, but in its absence, a fierce protective streak comes over him, especially regarding his children. This is escalated when Splashpaw and Brookpaw go missing during the blizzard. He braves the storm to save them.
› During the flood, his mother Duskshine passes away trying to help a group of LichenClan warriors. After her death, Flowerfang confesses Duskshine's secret to Flickersight, revealing she was the main reason their parents broke up.
Current Plot ideas
› Conflicted, Flickersight now doesn't know how he should approach his father. Do they mend their relationship? Does he let his children meet him? Is he pissed at Flowerfang for lying to him? Can he help his grieving children? Will he ever find love again?
personality suggestions
› Allocentric, Gallant, Practical, Well-rounded
› Uncommunicative, Rigid, Passive, Resentful

2019
› Born during new-leaf 2019, Flowerkit entered RedwoodClan alongside her brother Flickerkit to Rowanleap and Duskshine. Despite never truly loving each other, her parents put on a good front and cared deeply for their children. Flowerkit was closer to her father, but got along with her mother as well.
› From birth, Flowerkit was always a rebel, trying to sneak out of the nursery and cause fights. A natural contrarian, she enjoyed picking holes in her den-mates' stories and was considered a bully. Only Flickerkit kept her company.
› Right before she became an apprentice, her parents broke-up. Flowerkit could sense her parents' relationship was forced, at least compared to the other queens, so it was not a surprise to her. She accepted with a shrug and tried to convince Flickerkit to get over himself.
› Early into her apprenticeship, war is declared between RedwoodClan and LichenClan. Interested in learning how to fight in the trees, she begins training with her father, while her mentor, Mistytooth, strengthens her muscles on land, turning her into a prodigy fighter.
› When she is nine moons old, she stumbles upon her mother, Duskshine, being intimate with another warrior in the woods. Flowerpaw confronts her and learns her mother was in love with another cat, which is why she left their father. Flowerpaw promises not to tell, though she criticizes her mother for letting Rowanleap take all of the blame.
2020
› During green-leaf 2020, she earns her warrior name, Flowerfang, for her fighting abilities. She is frequently sent out to fight in skirmishes and continues training with her 'old man.' She continuously comforts her father and keeps him company.
› Her mother, Duskshine, publicly takes on a new mate, and Flowerfang privately tries to get her to tell Flickersight the truth, but she refuses, fearing he will hold a grudge against her too. Flowerfang angrily storms away, creating a rift between them.
2021
› At the start of the 2021 season, Flowerfang catches red-cough and is forced to stay in the medicine cat's den for most of leaf-bare. Flickersight keeps her company and confesses he is unable to have children. She tries to convince him to reach out to Rowanleap, but he refuses.
› Once she recovers, Flowerfang jumps back into battle, and fights against LichenClan when they ambush RedwoodClan. She joins her father in the trees and launches several unexpected attacks on LichenClan.
› Refusing to end up like either of her parents, Flowerfang guards herself and her heart well. She does not easily fall in love and usually keeps most relationships superficial. She's never thought about settling down or becoming a mother and sticks to meaningless, one night stands.
2022
› At the start of the 2022 season, Flickersight welcomes three kits into the Clan. Flowerfang fiercely loves them and spoils them rotten. With his permission, she teaches them appropriate fighting moves and vows to mentor one.
› Flowerfang is granted her wish and begins training Splashpaw, her niece, at the start of green-leaf. While both are similar in nature, Splashpaw proves to be a challenging apprentice and pushes Flowerfang to her limits. She talks back, ditches training sessions, and doesn't take training very seriously.
› At the end of the 2022 season, Flowerfang fights in the canopy alongside her father. They kill two opponents and ward off several others. Bloody and exhausted, they return to camp, startled to find Flickersight's mate, Frecklewing, dead. Flowerfang desperately tries to comfort him, but he pushes her away.
2023
› During the blizzard, both Splashpaw and her sister Brookpaw go missing in the storm. Flowerfang and Creekpaw alert Flickersight and he immediately leaves to find them. Flowerfang restlessly paces until they return. Her anger sets Splashpaw right, and they finally get into the groove of training.
› During the flood, her mother Duskshine passes away trying to help a group of LichenClan warriors. After her death, Flowerfang finally confesses Duskshine's secret to Flickersight, revealing she was the main reason their parents broke up.
Current Plot ideas
› Three moons late, Splashpaw finally earns her warrior name. Flowerfang is proud of her apprentice, but begins to doubt her ability to teach. Should she take on another apprentice? Finally make connections in the Clan? Help Flickersight mend his relationship with their father?
personality suggestions
› Sociable, Intuitive, Liberal, Honest
› Coarse, Lustful, Tactless, Lewd

recommended long-haired red/black calico or tortie | recommended face claim
main points
recommended long-haired red/black calico or tortie | recommended face claim

2022
› Born in green-leaf of 2022, Brook-kit was the first born and oldest of Flickersight and Frecklewing's litter. As the oldest, she made herself responsible for her siblings and 'took care of them,' though Splashkit thought she was controlling. Similar to her mother, Brook-kit grew rather close to her.
› Nearly the opposite of her sister, Brook-kit and Splashkit have a complicated relationship. They fiercely love each other, but also violently hate each other at times too. Splashkit often got annoyed with Brook-kit and her rules, claiming she acted like "mom."
› Creek-kit, however, was their constant mediator and balanced them out. Reserved and thoughtful, Brook-kit found comfort in her brother's easy demeanor and never grew frustrated with him.
› At six moons, she was apprenticed to Loudstorm, a highly respectable senior warrior. They took well to each other and forged a solid working relationship. A diligent apprentice, Brookpaw worked hard to prove herself and found she was a natural fighter like her ancestors, particularly in the trees.
› Once while practicing her fighting moves, she stumbled into her grandfather, Rowanleap, as he was getting ready to train. Brookpaw thought about introducing herself, but her father only told her terrible things about him, so she reluctantly looked away, but not before catching a strange sadness in her grandfather's eyes.
› At seven moons, the entire island erupted into war. Already showing promise as a fighter, Brookpaw joined Loudstorm on the battlefield and helped to end the war. When she returned to camp, however, she was devastated to learn that her mother did not make it.
2023
› Brookpaw distracted herself into her training and pushed away her grief. She refused to allow herself wallow in depression and 'give up' like her father did. She comforted her brother, and acted as a pillar of strength for him. She tried to do the same for Splashpaw, who was severely acting out, but her sister only got pissed at her.
› The blizzard struck the island during her twelfth moon on the island, right before she was going to be named a warrior. However, the night before her ceremony, Brookpaw caught Splashpaw sneaking out of camp during the height of the storm. Brookpaw tried to stop her, but her sister ignored her and ran out into the snow. Cursing, Brookpaw followed her and they got lost. They were forced to shelter together in a burrow. In the morning, their father found them and brought them home.
› As punishment, Brookpaw's ceremony was pushed back by a moon. Deeply enraged, she blamed Splashpaw and spent the rest of her apprenticeship in a sour and angry mood.
› At thirteen moons, she became Brookstone, named for her strength and steadfast nature.
Current Plot ideas
› As a young warrior, Brookstone shows great promise for her Clan, but harbors a lot of unresolved guilt and trauma. Will she ever process her mother's death? Mend her relationship with her sister? Meet her grandfather? Help her father heal?
personality suggestions
› Practical, Nurturing, Hard-working, Consistent
› Boring, Fatalistic, Hypocrite, Critical

2022
› Born in green-leaf of 2022, Creek-kit was the second born and middle child of Flickersight and Frecklewing's litter. As the middle child, Creek-kit found himself constantly pitted between his two sisters and nearly dwarfed by their strong personalities. Quiet and reserved, he usually played with himself or hung out with his parents.
› A mediator between Brook-kit and Splashkit, Creek-kit brought a strange balance to their trio. He enjoyed Splashkit's sense of adventure and usually toned down her crazy ideas by offering his safer, and more creative, alternatives. While he found great comfort in Brook-kit's steadfast personality. They often got into in-depth discussions and shared tongues.
› Occasionally, their great-grandfather, Oatscar visited them in the nursery and told grand tales of their kitty-pet ancestor, Ginger. Creek-kit devoured the stories, hungry for more, but unfortunately, Oatscar passed around his third moon.
› At six moons, he was apprenticed to Ruefeather, a like-minded tom who was also quiet, patient, and thoughtful. He taught Creekpaw how to gather herbs for the medicine cats, and imparted many important lessons about Clan life, particularly about the importance of accepting others.
› A quick and creative learner, Creekpaw showed great promise as an apprentice, but struggled with fighting. He grew uneasy in the canopy and often gave up. Flickersight offered to help train his son, and like him, Creekpaw took to lessons about stealth and fighting from the underbrush, showing great promise as a future spy.
› At seven moons, the entire island erupted into war. Creekpaw and Splashpaw remained in camp as the rest of their family leapt into battle. They nervously waited all night until they returned, but Frecklewing was not among them. She died in battle.
2023
› Creekpaw greatly mourned his mother's death, and like his father, fell into a deep depression. Both Ruefeather and Brookpaw worked to help him heal, and he slowly processed his mother's death. After a few moons, he was ready to return to his training with a new vigor.
› Despite his promise as a warrior, Creekpaw struggles to make friends in the Clan due to his shy and reserved nature. He desperately craves connections and wants to settle down and have a family one day, but he doesn't know how. His whole life has been spent being trampled by strong personalities, and he fears they'll only continue to shut him out.
› The blizzard struck the island during his twelfth moon on the island, right before he was going to be named a warrior. On the night before his ceremony, his sisters went missing in the storm. He immediately notified his father, who went out to find them. They did not return until the morning. As punishment, their naming ceremony was pushed back, and Creekpaw earned his name alone, becoming Creekwhisker.
Current Plot ideas
› As a young warrior, Creekwhisker shows great promise as a warrior, but struggles to push past his shyness and feels lonely. Will he find a place in the Clan? Make friends? Fall in love? Will he help his sisters mend their relationship? Or help his father process his grief? Will he ever meet his grandfather?

2022
› Born in green-leaf of 2022, Splashkit was the third and final born kit of Flickersight and Frecklewing's litter. As the youngest, she was the most rambunctious of her siblings and the one constantly pushing them into mischief. Her parents constantly reprimanded her behavior, but nothing worked.
› Nearly the opposite of her sister, Splashkit and Brook-kit have a complicated relationship. They fiercely love each other, but also violently hate each other at times too. Brook-kit often got frustrated with Splashkit and all of her stupid, reckless ideas and feared she'd constantly get them all in trouble.
› Creek-kit, however, was their constant mediator and balanced them out.
Reserved and thoughtful, Splashkit found a creative and encouraging friend in her brother, and they've rarely fought.
› At six moons, she was apprenticed to her aunt, Flowerfang. Splashpaw was excited to train with her aunt, deeply admiring her fighting skills and reputation in the Clan.
› But her training did not go well. Flowerfang took it way too seriously, especially as tensions with LichenClan increased. Splashpaw just wanted to have fun and learn how to fight in the trees. All of her other apprentice duties were 'boring', so she constantly ditched and challenged her mentor's decisions. Their strong personalities clashed.
› At seven moons, the entire island erupted into war. Splashpaw and her brother remained in camp, while Brookpaw was selected to fight alongside her mentor — as were their parents. They waited all night for them to return. Brookpaw and Flickersight did, but Frecklewing, their mother, did not.
2023
› Splashpaw refused to admit her mother's death affected her, but it did. She began lashing out and getting into more trouble. She made reckless, irresponsible decisions, such as leaving camp by herself and going after predators to prove herself. Her dad's grieving only made it worse. She wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how.
› The blizzard struck the island during her twelfth moon, and because of her behavior, Flowerfang refused to pass her on any of her assessments, and her siblings were poised to graduate. Frustrated and desperate to prove herself, Splashpaw left during the blizzard to try and take down large prey. Brookpaw caught her sneaking out and tried to get her to return home, but they got trapped in the snow instead. After sheltering all night, their father found them in the storm and brought them home.
› After the blizzard, Flowerfang confronted Splashpaw. They fought viciously, snarls turning into violent blows, but by the end of the fight, Splashpaw vowed to take her training seriously.
Current Plot ideas
› At fifteen moons old, Splashpaw earns her warrior name and becomes Splashfire, but is it enough? Will she take her rank seriously? Or return to rebellious ways? Will she repair her relationships with her family? Confront her mother's death?
personality suggestions
› Adventurous, Energetic, Resilient, Lucky

GRAYSTAR'S DESCENDANTS
swiftSIGHT - ADOPTED
ThistleClan | Warrior | She-cat | 72 moons (-8 from Owlfang)
recommended long-haired black smoke | recommended face claim
recommended long-haired black smoke | recommended face claim
main points
› Born to Mistyfang, Graystar and Budblossom's grand-daughter, and a rogue father. Her mother fell for the rogue's charm and bore his kits. Caught sneaking around by her own brother, Mistyfang's secret was revealed to the whole Clan. Froststar did not punish the she-cat, for he too had his own secret affair. Instead, her family hunted down her lover and killed him, and she was ousted from their ranks. Alone and heartbroken, Mistyfang finally gave birth. Swiftkit was the only one to survive. Her 3 other kits were still-born.
› Unaware of her lineage, Swiftkit grew a sheltered & protected life in the nursery. Mistyfang kept her rogue father a secret and coddled her. The rest of the Clan, however, knew about her rogue blood and treated the kit differently, often casting her dirty looks. Swiftkit was in for a rude awakening upon entering the apprentice's den.
› Facing constant ridicule, Swiftpaw was immediately picked on and attacked by her den-mates. One even went as far to slashing her left eye in an attack, half-blinding her for life. It was during this battle that she learned who her father was. Disgusted and ashamed of her heritage, she disowned her own mother and clung to her great-grandfather's heritage instead. Though her cousins and aunts and uncles refused to accept her.
› Desperate to prove herself, Swiftpaw trained diligently and earned her warrior name at 11 moons. She was named Swiftsight, presumably for the ragged scar across her eye, though Froststar never outright said it.
› An outcast in her own Clan, Swiftsight fought tooth and claw to rise within the ranks of ThistleClan. She would foolishly challenge other high-ranking warriors in the Clan to duels and lose due to her own inexperience. However, this began to change as she became stronger and a more conniving fighter. Using her wit and brutality, she began to win more battles and her Clan's respect.
› Wanting to create her own legacy and clear her own name, Swiftsight sought out one of the best warriors in the Clan to sire her kits. A much older tom, Lynxfoot refused at first, not wanting to sully his lineage with rogue blood. A descendant of Graystar and his games, Swiftsight challenged the tom to a spar. If she won, he'd sire her children. If she lost, she'd graciously step down. Doubting he'd lose, Lynxfoot agreed. He lost, and gaining new respect for the she-cat, agreed to bear her kits.
› Not much later, Swiftsight gave birth to their two children: Needlekit and Nettlekit. Refusing to do what her mother did to her, Swiftsight told them of their rogue blood and started preparing them for life outside of the nursery. To encourage their fighting skills, she purposefully pit her children against each other and egged on their spats. She was a cold, stern mother.
› After returning to her warrior duties, Swiftsight periodically interrupted her kits' lessons to check in on their training progress. Unhappy with Nettlepaw's mentor, Swiftsight demanded that Thievingstar reassigned him to a stronger fighter, a tom named Yellowtalon instead. She continued to monitor their progress over the course of their apprenticeship.They start to find their mother over-bearing.
› During the flood, Lynxfoot drowns in his den, leaving Needleleap and Nettlesting without a father. Swiftsight coldly mourns his death, though she had no feelings for the tom. ThistleClan then moves to the campground and rogues take over their territory. Adamantly against outsiders, Swiftsight starts to challenge Thievingstar's decisions and grows frustrated with her Clan.
› Charging into battle, Swiftsight readily goes after the rogues and aids in winning back their camp. However, the victory is short-lived. Not soon after, the rogues attack her camp and injure Needleleap. Thievingstar is also killed. Enraged, Swiftsight tries to encourage the newly named Stagstar and Firfoot to join the war and end the rogues one and for all.
› After Needleleap is discharged from the medicine cat's den, Swiftsight and Nettlesting are assigned to help her re-learn how to fight with her disability and chaperone her on outings outside of camp. Swiftsight wants to help her daughter regain her strength but struggles to be a sympathetic and understanding teacher.
› ThistleClan finally makes an alliance with RedwoodClan and joins the war. Minnowstar and the rogues are defeated. One of ThistleClan's most senior warriors and accomplished fighters, Swiftsight battles alongside her Clan-mates and helps win the war. But she remains skeptical of her leadership. Now in a precarious position, Swiftsight believes ThistleClan should use their recent win as an opportunity to make ThistleClan stronger by whatever means possible.

recommended long-haired black or black smoke | recommended face claim
main points
› Born to Swiftsight and Lynxfoot after her mother beats the tom in a duel. She is born alongside her brother, Nettlekit.
› From a young age, she learns of her rogue blood and her great-great-grandfather, Graystar. She is desperate to prove herself and greatly ashamed of her rogue heritage. So she readily trains under her mother's strict tutelage from the age of 3 moons old. To make her stronger, Swiftsight pits her children against each other on purpose, forming a deep-seeded rivalry between the two.
› Constantly trying to one-up each other, Needlepaw and Nettlepaw enter their apprenticeship and try to immediately out-rank each other. They challenge the other apprentices in the den and quickly earn their respect, despite their rogue blood. Though much to Needlepaw's chagrin, her brother beats her and maintains his rank throughout their apprenticeship.
› Apprenticed to the stern and rule-abiding, Juniperfang, Needlepaw flourishes under her mentor's discipline. Her mother, however, constantly intrudes on her training sessions and annoys both Needleleap and her mentor. Despite this, she graduates early at 11 moons. She is named Needleleap for nimble foot-work and leaping holds in battle.
› During the flood, Lynxfoot dies, leaving Needleleap and Nettlesting without a father. Never close with the tom, Needleleap seemingly brushes off the loss. Though her anger is misdirected toward her Clan and weak leadership.
› During their time at the campground, her mother's cousin, a descendant from Graystar and Glimmergaze, gives birth to two kits: Tornkit and Smallkit. Graystar's family rejoices in their birth, something she and her brother never received due to their rogue heritage. Needleleap begins to resent them and their seemingly 'easy' lives.
› After returning to camp and beating the rogues, Needleleap challenges her brother to another duel. After moons of training, she is desperate to kick his tail and win. A grueling battle ensues, and in the end, she's finally able to beat him and move up in rank.
› When Lily and her rogues attack the camp and kill Thievingstar, Needleleap sustains a major injury to her front, right leg. A rogue nearly tears the limb from her body. She is forced into the medicine cat's den for most of the following green-leaf and leaf-fall and becomes extremely bitter. For a brief period, they fear she'll have to retire early, but her leg begins to heal, though never quite completely.
› Due to her permanent limp, Needleleap is unable to join the war against the rogues and Minnowstar and is forced to stay behind in camp. Angrily she watches as the rest of her family leaps into war. She is currently only cleared for light warrior duties, and it will take some time for her to relearn how to fight with her limp. As she heals, both Swiftsight and Nettlesting have been tasked with helping her regain mobility. Needleleap detests being around both of them.

ThistleClan | Warrior | Tom | 44 moons (same as Mothfern)
recommended long-haired black or black smoke | recommended face claim
main points
recommended long-haired black or black smoke | recommended face claim
main points
› Born to Swiftsight and Lynxfoot after her mother beats the tom in a duel. He is born alongside his sister, Needlepaw.
› From a young age, he learns of her rogue blood and her great-great-grandfather, Graystar. Unlike his sister, Nettlekit chooses to own and accept his rogue blood and use it to his advantage. Training comes naturally to him and he easily beats his sister in their kithood duels, forming a deep-seeded rivalry between the two.
› Constantly trying to one-up up him, Needlepaw challenges her brother to multiple duels throughout their apprenticeships. While finding her annoying, he reciprocates and beats her each time, quickly establishing himself as one of the strongest apprentices in the den. The other apprentices find his reserved and stoic demeanor captivating and mysterious.
› Originally, Needlepaw is apprenticed to a mid-ranking she-cat named Redwhisker. A constant presence during his training sessions, Swiftsight disapproves of the arrangement for her son, and requests a stronger warrior becomes his mentor instead. Thievingstar relents and assigns him to Yellowtalon, a powerful fighter of higher-rank. Needlepaw accepts his new mentor but finds the entire situation shameful. He starts to distance himself from his mother and her constant desire to prove herself and rank.
› During the flood, Lynxfoot dies, leaving Nettlesting and Needleleap without a father. Nettlesting occasionally trained with him in between lessons with Yellowtalon. However, they were not close. He respectfully mourns his death with the others.
› During their time at the campground, his mother's cousin, a descendant from Graystar and Glimmergaze, gives birth to two kits: Tornkit and Smallkit. Graystar's family rejoices in their birth, something he and his sister never received due to their rogue heritage. Nettlesting watches them with interest, hoping to mentor one of the young and earn his place back within his family.
› Nettlesting is granted permission to train his cousin, Tornpaw. They form a close bond with one another, and Nettlesting takes a great liking to the playful and clever tom. Never been granted the privilege himself, Tornpaw shares stories about their great-great grandfather, Graystar.
› When they finally return to the camp and run the rogues from their camp, Needleleap challenges him to an unexpected duel. Nettlesting accepts the challenge, expecting to easily beat her as usual, but she wins instead. He tries not to let it affect him, but he is deeply annoyed with himself for the loss.
› When Lily and her rogues attack the camp and kill Thievingstar, Nettlesting fights gallantly and helps his mother run the rogues out of their camp. Needleleap, however, sustains a life-altering injury and is forced into the medicine cat's den for nearly all of green-leaf and leaf-fall. At Stagstar's request, both Nettlesting and Swiftsight are tasked with helping his sister regain her mobility. Nettlesting begrudgingly helps out, despite finding both of them insufferable.
› Nettlesting is called to battle during the war and fights alongside the rest of his Clan. They help defeat Minnowstar and the rogues. However, his former mentor, Yellowtalon is killed in battle. Angered by his loss, Nettlesting uses it as an opportunity to push some of his great-great-grandfather's values onto the Clan. He feels if ThistleClan wasn't so harsh on rogues, they wouldn't be as targeted, and if they got involved with other Clans and politics, they'd see more benefits, like land.

recommended long-haired black or black smoke | recommended face claim
main points
› Born to Gustpelt, a great-great-grandson of Graystar and Glimmergaze, and his mate, Petalshadow, Tornkt and Smallkit were eagerly welcomed by ThistleClan during a great time of struggle. They were born shortly after the flood at the abandoned campground.
› Inheriting Graystar's short stature and wild fur, Tornkit was originally going to be named Tinykit to match his sister. However, shortly after birth, the young tom received a ghastly laceration across his flank from the strange, wooden two-leg flooring. He was quickly named Tornkit for his injury, a wound he recovered from without any major complications. Though his fur never grew back correctly, leaving a giant 'tear' across his pelt.
› Gustpelt, greatly proud of his heritage, showered both Tornkit and Smallkit with stories of ThistleClan's most powerful and iconic leader. Enamored with the tales, Tornkit began to idolize his great-great-great-grandfather, and his desire to gamify everything. He and sister would entertain themselves by challenging each other to duels and putting together tournaments with the other kits.
› At six moons, he was apprenticed to the mysterious Nettlesting, who he soon learned was his older cousin, and also descended from Graystar and his other mate, Budblossom. Though quiet and reserved, Nettlesting was a powerful warrior and taught Tornpaw how to fight like a ThistleClanner Sociable and endearing, Tornpaw got his cousin to open up and learned about his rogue heritage. He told Nettlesting how Graystar once allowed rogues and outsiders to join ThistleClan and it made them stronger.
› Among the other apprentices, Tornpaw is mischievous and conniving. True ThistleClan tricksters at heart, he and his sister enjoy playing pranks on their fellow apprentices. Much to everyone's chagrin, Tornpaw can hold his own in a fight.
› Just before becoming warriors, Tornpaw and Smallpaw lose their mother, Petalshadow in the fight to regain ThistleClan's camp from the rogues. Distraught over their mother's death, they both delay their ceremonies, and it's during this time period, they start to grow more apart as Smallstorm feels she should 'grow up.'
› Tornpaw finally becomes Tornpelt at fourteen moons old. A natural flirt, he captures the attention of many of his den-mates, even those impervious to his advances. While he is seemingly flirtatious and noncommittal, he secretly desires an intimate relationship with someone and is a romantic at heart due to the loving relationship his parents shared. Finding his 'senseless' flirting insufferable, Smallstorm criticizes her brother for his need to 'gamify' and always 'have fun.' They start to get into fights.
› Tornpelt was left behind to guard the camp during the Great War, while Smallstorm and Gustpelt were sent into battle. Smallstorm returned, but Gustpelt did not. He was killed by a rogue in battle. Close with his father, they were both devastated by his death. Smallstorm, blaming herself for his death, continues to pull away from Tornpelt, much to his disappointment. He misses their close relationship and games they used to play together.

› Born to Gustpelt, a great-great-grandson of Graystar and Glimmergaze, and his mate, Petalshadow, Smallkit and Tornkit were eagerly welcomed by ThistleClan during a great time of struggle. They were born shortly after the flood at the abandoned campground.
› Gustpelt, greatly proud of his heritage, showered both Smallkit and Tornkit with stories of ThistleClan's most powerful and iconic leader. Smallkit dreamed of challenging other warriors in her own duels, and like Graystar, becoming leader some day. She and her brother would entertain themselves by challenging each other to duels and putting together tournaments with the other kits.
› At six moons, she was apprenticed to Thievingstar, much to her delight. An eager pupil, Smallpaw greatly looked up to her mentor and shared her desire to become leader just like Graystar. They build a close bond. Despite this, she still entertains her brother and his pranks they play together on the other apprentices. With Thievingstar's training, however, she easily out-ranks him in battle and starts to inherit her mentor's sharp-tongue and temper.
› Just before becoming warriors, Smallpaw and Tornpaw lose their mother, Petalshadow in the fight to regain ThistleClan's camp from the rogues. Distraught over their mother's death, they both delay their ceremonies, and it's during this time period, they start to grow more apart. Smallpaw starts refusing to play games with her brother, wanting to take life more seriously. At Thievingstar's urging, she works hard to finish her training.
› Smallpaw becomes Smallstorm at thirteen moons old. She is named for her battle prowess, and equally fiery temper. While Tornpelt entertains their den-mates with his flirting and games. Smallstorm busies herself by training and moving up in rank in the Clan. She wishes her brother would grow up and join her, but he continues to be a foolish flirt.
› Smallstorm and Thievingstar are out on patrol together when the rogues attack their camp. They rush back to fight, and are separated in the fray. Thievingstar heads to the nursery. It's the last time Smallstorm ever sees her. Thievingstar is killed and Stagstar rises in her place. She is devastated by the loss of her mentor and views Stagstar and Firfoot's leadership with great skepticism.
› During the Great War, she is sent into battle alongside her father, Gustpelt. They fight side by sight throughout the entire battle, but a rogue outsmarts them and lands a killing blow on her father. Beyond enraged, Smallstorm kills the rogue and avenges her father and Thievingstar's death, but it is not enough. She is not enough.
› Smallstorm returns to camp extremely distraught after the war. Very briefly, she allows her brother to comfort her, and for a moment, they feel close again. But then he slips back into his games, and she pulls away. With too much guilt in her heart over her father's death, she feels resentment building for his brother, and begins to question why wasn't he there?

Tribe | Stone-guard | Tom | 82 moons (same age as Talon)
recommended long-haired black mackerel or classic tabby w/ or w/out white | recommended face claim
recommended long-haired black mackerel or classic tabby w/ or w/out white | recommended face claim
main points
2017
› Born during early winter of 2017, Ridge, a descendant of Fawn, enters the Tribe the season following the Great Hunger. Under Rain's efforts as teller, the Tribe is able to go into leaf-bare relatively well-fed.
› Ridge and his brothers, Jaw Of The Wolf and Stag Who Bears Twelve Tines, are reared by his mother, Holly of Gathering Vines. His father passed after complications, catching green-cough during the Great Hunger. He never fully recovered and died before he was born.
› As a to-be, Ridge shows a natural inclination for stone-guard training. His brother, Jaw, catches the eye of their teller, Rain, and as they near their fledgling ceremony at twelve moons, she announces him as her apprentice.
2018
› At the start of the season, the Tribe ancestors announce both Ridge and Stag as stone-guard fledglings. They begin training rigorously as Jaw continues to study under Rain. Ridge befriends a guard slightly older than him named Blackbird.
› After becoming a fully fledged stone-guard, Ridge travels with a group of young guards to the River of Oaths. He realizes that he's in love with Blackbird that night and vows to become her mate. He presses his blood into the stone and turns it over in the dry creek bed.
› As 2018 comes to a close, both heads retire, and Talon, a guard his age, is selected as their replacement. Ridge is jealous of him, but keeps it to himself. A moon later, an incurable sickness claims the Tribe, and Jaw dies unexpectedly. Ridge unfairly despises his replacement, a young prey-hunter named Creek.
2019
› The sickness kills both his mother, Holly, and their teller, Rain, leaving the Tribe under Creek's inexperienced guidance. Ridge is highly critical of the young teller as more and more Tribe cats fall ill and die. The sickness does not dissipate until warmer weather returns.
› Ridge attempts to confess his affection for Blackbird, but is too scared of rejection. Stag, however, celebrates a den joining ceremony in the spring with his mate, Forest. A couple moons later, Forest gives birth to three healthy kits. Ridge is elated to become an uncle and visits them regularly.
› The deadly sickness returns with the colder weather. Forest and two of her kits die after catching the illness. Only one kit survives. Ridge promises Stag to help raise his daughter, Sky.
2020
› After being sent to the Clan islands, Hemlock returns with their aid. Ridge is deeply suspicious of them. Their medicine cat Orchidshade gives them lungwort and helps Creek plant it on their island.
› Ridge finally works up the courage to confess to Blackbird, but she admits she's going to have a litter of kits with Talon instead. Deeply misunderstanding their relationship and heartbroken, Ridge grows even more envious of the head guard, and throws himself into his work as a distraction, secretly hoping to prove himself to her instead.
2021
› During spring, Creek sends a patrol to visit the Clan cats. Ridge is outspoken against the decision, fearing it is harming their customs. While his tribe-mates are away, Creek dies, and the Tribe is without a teller.
› A blanket of fog descends over the island, and the coyotes begin attacking the Tribe. Ridge is constantly sent on patrols to try and combat them, but their numbers are impenetrable. A prey-hunter named Sumac starts to voice his concerns as prey dwindles.
› His Tribe-mates return from the Clans. Fog shares his dreams with their ancestors and becomes the new teller. Ridge is increasingly skeptical of the young tom, but unwilling to give his support to Sumac either. He believes the Tribe has lost its true connection with their ancestors.
2022
› Fog struggles to solve the increasing Coyote numbers. Sumac begins to meet with Tribe members in secret, questioning his leadership. Blackbird is among them and tries to encourage Ridge to join. He refuses. It is not the way of the Tribe. Stag, however, goes, hopeful for change and a better life for his daughter and grandchildren.
› While Fog is away scouting in the north, Sumac uses the opportunity to call a Tribe meeting and spreads his message of dissent. He believes Fog is wrongly chosen. Ridge watches in disgust and journeys to the Stone that Never Ends on his own for answers, but their ancestors do not visit him.
› During summer, a storm ravishes the island and a stray lightning bolt lights it up in flames. The deadly fire consumes everything and kills several, including Fog, Stag, Blackbird, and most of Sky's family. Ridge vows to watch over their living children as Sumac rises to power in Fog's death.
2023
› Despite Sumac's efforts, the Tribe is hungrier than ever before, and while a blizzard rages over the land, more Tribe cats die. Ridge invites his grand-niece Moon, who no longer has a family, to come live in his den. He raises her as his own.
› Sumac orders the guards to hunt alongside the prey-hunters and establishes a new rule over the Tribe. He also demotes Talon. While never liking the head guard, Ridge is vocal against the new rules. He, however, grows silent after Sumac cuts his rations. He realizes that speaking out will get him taken away from Moon.
› At the start of summer, Moon confides to Ridge that she accidentally got pregnant. Ridge promises to help, despite not liking the father, Martin. He thinks he's reckless and immature. Not soon after, Martin dies after getting pulled into a strong current left by the flood. Ridge is by Moon's side throughout the pregnancy and helps raise her daughter, Foxtail.
› Fog returns to the island at the end of summer and reclaims his throne after Sunrise kills Sumac. He reappoints Talon as his head and releases the prisoners. His niece, Sky, and her daughter, Star, also return after being believed to be dead. Ridge is hopeful for his Tribe but remains on edge. He yearns to bring it back to the days under Fawn's tellership.
Current Plot ideas
› Want to play an old sexy curmudgeon? An aging guard, Ridge is pretty set in his ways. After losing Blackbird, he refuses to open his heart out to anyone else. His only priority is taking care of his remaining family: Sky, Star, Moon, and Foxtail. Can he help rehabilitate Star? Can he teach the Tribe about their lost customs? Will he learn to trust the Clans? Will he ever love again? Can he learn to like Talon?

2019
› Sky is born in a litter of 3 during the summer of 2019 to Forest and Stag. She is the only girl and has two brothers: Mist and Bracken. She is only with them for 3 moons before her mother and brothers fall ill with an incurable sickness and die. Sky is raised by her overprotective father, Stag, and her uncle, Ridge.
› As a to-be, Sky quickly befriends the others, most notably Hemlock, Fog, River, and Flint. They become her "found family," and she gets into much mischief around them. Due to her overprotective father, Sky rebels and gets into trouble a lot by sneaking off on "dangerous adventures" and antagonizing predators for fun.
2020
› Her behavior earns her a severely delayed fledgling ceremony, and she doesn't start training as a stone-guard until her 16th moon. Around this time, Hemlock returns from the Clans, bringing herbs. Sky is deeply curious about the Clans.
› Flint encourages Sky to get her "shit together" and offers to train with her. She mostly does it because he's "hot." She's able to graduate at 18 moons alongside her friends. They journey to the Stone that Never Ends together, and she realizes she has deeper feelings for Flint.
› When the Clan cats return again with more lungwort, Sky offers to help tend to the garden and develops an interest in herbs and taking care of the island. Ridge teaches her about Fawn's efforts to replenish the Tribe. She begins to take her role as a guard more seriously.
2021
› When Creek sends a patrol to the Clans, Sky yearns to go but is not chosen to go with them. Flint offers to keep her company, and they train together as coyote numbers on the island increase. Sky daydreams of confessing to him, but isn't able to do it.
› Creek passes away in his sleep, and a blanket of fog descends over the island until the others return from the Clan island. Fog shares his ominous dreams, and becomes the next teller of the Tribe. Sky trusts her old friend and believes in their ancestors' choice.
2022
› Starvation and coyote attacks continue to plague the Tribe. After a particularly close encounter with a pack of coyotes, Sky gathers enough courage to confess her feelings to Flint after a pep talk from Hemlock. Flint reciprocates, and Fog ordains their den joining ceremony.
› Sky grows heavy with kits as Sumac slowly begins to rise to power. The old prey-hunter is deeply distrustful of Fog and begins holding meetings in secret. Sky refuses to go, but Flint attends out of curiosity. He is fearful of the future and wants a better life for their kits. They begin fighting with each other.
› Flint is injured by a pack of coyotes right before Sky gives birth. He is unable to use one of his hind legs, and blames it on Fog. Sky feels torn between her mate and her childhood friend. She gives birth to their two daughters, Star and Moon.
› During summer, the island ignites in flame. Sky's family den is close to the forest. A tree crackles and falls on top of it, trapping Star, Moon, and Flint inside. Sky is only able to rescue Star, whose body is horrifically burned by the flames, before she has to leave. Driven by the flames, she is forced to carry Star to the northern parts of the island, away from the Tribe stone.
› Star is so badly injured that Sky is unable to move her and make the journey back to the Tribe stone. They remain in a makeshift burrow and wait for somebody to come save them. Nobody comes, and Sky uses her limited herb knowledge to try and save her daughter's life. She miraculously lives.
2023
› Sky refuses to leave her daughter's side, and they remain apart from their Tribe until Sky can trust leaving Star alone. She does not make the journey back to the Tribe until the snow begins to melt in spring of 2023.
› Sky returns to the Tribe Stone during a meeting, startled to find Sumac in Fog's place. She remains hidden on the ridge and watches in horror as Talon is demoted and cats are taken away as punishment. She does not see Flint or Moon in the crowd, and her worst fears are confirmed: They're dead. She returns to Star, and they continue living in isolation.
› Hidden, Sky is not discovered again until after Fog's return. While assessing Sumac's damage, a patrol stumbles upon them in the north and convinces them to return home. Sky warily agrees, having grown gaunt and exhausted living on her own. When she returns, she is startled to find that not only is Moon alive, but she has a granddaughter as well.
Current Plot ideas
› After living in isolation for so long, Sky is wary about reintegrating with her tribe-mates. She misses Flint, even though it was complicated. Her relationship with Moon is strained. All of her childhood friends have experienced their own kind of living hell. Will she be able to rebuild old connections? Fix her relationship with Moon? Help Star train? Meet her granddaughter? Move on from Flint?

2022
› Born during summer 2022, Star enters the Tribe, alongside her sister Moon, right before the fire ignites their home. When she is a few moons old, a burning tree crushes their den. Star is trapped inside with her father and sister. Flames light up the entire right side of her body. Miraculously, her mother, Sky, is able to save her and drag her to safety in the north.
› Star barely remembers the first six moons of her life due to excruciating pain. Using her limited herb knowledge, Sky applies chewed up salves to her body, removes dying tissue, and changes her bandages every day. Star is left with horrific scars over her flank and face. The fur grows back in patchy and strange.
2023
› They somehow survive the winter alone. Sky raises Star on stories about the Tribe, hoping to return some day. Star knows that her sister and father are dead. Once Star is fully recovered, around 8 moons, Sky begins teaching her survival skills, such as hunting and identifying herbs. She is not allowed to leave on her own.
› When spring returns, Sky leaves for the Tribe and promises Star she'll return to bring her "home." She is gone for 3 days, and Star fears her mother is dead. When she returns, Sky refuses to talk about the Tribe. They'll never return. Star is secretly upset.
› They continue to live alone until late summer. A patrol sent to examine the island post-Sumac finds them living alone in the north and convinces Sky to return. She only agrees because Fog is alive. They both return, startled to find that Moon is not only alive, but she has a daughter as well. Moon blames their mother and refuses to talk to her, but opens her heart up to Star. Foxtail also loves her at once.
Current Plot ideas
› Want to play a feral child? Star experiences a great culture shock after returning to the Tribe. She doesn't enjoy the crowds or understands their culture. She is shy and closed-off, but with Moon's guidance and Foxtail's companionship, she's willing to try. Because she was never trained, Star will start off as a to-be in the Tribe. Will she become a guard or a hunter? Will she make connections? Learn to love the Tribe?

› Born during summer 2022, Moon enters the Tribe, alongside her sister Star, right before the fire ignites their home. When she is a few moons old, a burning tree crushes their den. Moon is trapped inside with her father and sister. Her mother, Sky, is only able to save Star, because Moon pushes her burning sister toward a hole in the den. Sky is forced to leave and abandons Moon.
› Moon passes out from smoke inhalation, but wakes hours later outside of her den, her dead father beside her. Flint's final act is to save Moon, but perishes due to severe burns. A patrol finds Moon, and she is taken to one of the isles and reared by another kit-mother and her great-uncle, Ridge, until they can return to the mainland. She is told the rest of her family is dead. Fog, their teller, is also declared dead, and Sumac rises to power.
› Ridge welcomes moon into his family den as she begins training as a to-be. She quickly befriends the others her age, particularly a slightly older and opinionated tom named Martin. He also lost his entire family in the fire, and they bond over their similarities. Martin, who wants to become a guard, deeply mistrusts Sumac, and Moon begins to hate him too.
2023
› Alongside the others, Moon is assigned to become a fledgling prey-hunter in the spring. Unlike Martin, however, she doesn't mind the assignment and feels rather suited for the rank. She pretends to be angry with him and speaks out during a Tribe meeting to impress Martin. Sumac cuts their rations in response.
› More Tribe cats are punished under Sumac's reign and sent to imprisonment on the isles. Martin somehow avoids imprisonment, despite being extremely outspoken. Fearing for his life, Moon begs him to stop one night and confesses how important he is to her. They lay together, and as summer returns, Moon finds out she's pregnant with his kits.
› Moon confesses her pregnancy to Ridge. He promises to help her out. Martin vows to become her mate, but dies before he can. Not allowed near the prey pile, Martin makes the perilous journey to one of the isles, despite the dangerous currents from the flood, and drowns in his weakened and starved state. Moon blames Sumac for his death.
› Moon gives birth shortly after to a one, very small she-cat. She carries her father's bright orange pelt. Ridge remains by her side and acts as a strong male figure for her daughter. Moon fears the Tribe judges her for getting pregnant so young. She is fiercely protective of her daughter and tries every day to be a good mother.
› Fog returns to the Tribe, and Sunrise kills Sumac during a Tribe meeting. Despite it being against Tribe customs, Moon is happy the teller is dead. Not soon after, a patrol returns with her mother and sister. Moon is shell-shocked to find them both alive, but instead of relief, she feels an intense hatred for her mother. She feels abandoned all over again. She does not blame Star, however, and wants to help her sister adjust to her new life.
Current Plot ideas
› If you like resentment, look no further! With a lot of hatred in her heart and a lot to prove, Moon just wants to be a good mother and a good prey-hunter for her Tribe. She's pissed at her mom, heartbroken by Martin's death, ashamed of her early pregnancy, and hopeful for her sister! Will she mend her relationship with her mom? Move on from Martin? Help her sister train? Let her daughter leave the nest? Prove herself to her judgmental tribe-mates?
