CLIFFBELLY
LICHENCLAN
OPEN FOR ADOPTION
Tom - 25 moons older than Copperhawk
Mate to Dappleshell. Father of Copperpaw, Russetpaw, Ochrepaw, Brightpaw & Goldpaw.
The patriarch of the family. This cat always stood out among Lichenclan's normal crowd, and for good reason. From his robust cheeks to his chunky body, to the tip of his thick tail, he was larger than they were. And while the strength that such a build gave him was a bonus, Cliffbelly was never the traditional Lichenclan warrior. While fighting was a simple enough task, he took far more interest in what he could gain off the battlefield by using his wits and words.
When his children were born, he saw Copperkit's potential and chose to focus his attention on trying to make sure that his son would be the perfect addition to the clan - which would do wonders for his status. While he did still teach his other kits, Copperkit was seen as his 'golden child'.
Possible future challenges -
A: Trying to maintain control of the course of his children's lives once they are grown up and going in all different directions.
B: Trying to stay afloat amidst the current madness of LC and whatever changing political currents might follow, as he is absolutely the type of cat to jump ship in order to preserve himself/his family.
Appearance - Cinnamon bicolor shorthair tom with one gold eye and one blue.

DAPPLESHELL
LICHENCLAN
OPEN FOR ADOPTION
Molly – 24 moons older than Copperhawk
Mate to Cliffbelly. Mother of Copperpaw, Russetpaw, Ochrepaw, Brightpaw & Goldpaw.
Shares Cliffbelly’s ambition, but her hopes tend down different paths. A doting mother to her children, Dappleshell has large dreams of what her offspring will grow to accomplish. While Cliffbelly plots their political standings, she keeps her eyes fixed upon the possibilities of her children’s social lives. She quite enjoyed the fact that her children were born around the same time as several other litters, and kept judging eyes upon the other kits in the nursery to gauge whether they were appropriate friends for her children.
Of all her kits, she is most worried about Ochrepaw. He was born the smallest of the litter and has a dependent personality. She wonders if she had not sheltered him so much when he was young, he might have grown out of some of his worst behaviors. She also focuses of making sure that her daughters are prim and proper Lichenclan mollies.
Possible future challenges -
A: Possible tension with Cliffbelly over the future of their family/what direction they should choose as the clan’s position becomes more precarious.
B: Helping her children with any moral/social issues that come up.
Appearance – Dilute smoke longhair tortie with hazel eyes.

RUSSETOAK
LICHENCLAN
OPEN FOR ADOPTION
Tom – the same age as Copperhawk
Son of Cliffbelly & Dappleshell. Brother to Copperpaw, Ochrepaw, Brightpaw & Goldpaw.
Russetpaw is the proverbial ‘gentle giant’. He share’s Copperpaw’s size but not his penchant for action. Instead, when faced with a new problem Russetpaw prefers to sit and consider his options. He likes puzzles and problem-solving, but is not especially skilled at explaining his thoughts to others unless given adequate time. Russetpaw is a calm cat that is not quick to anger, and he enjoys spending time with cats that can appreciate his more laid-back mood.
He and Copperpaw get along very well, as the two brothers balance each other out in temper. But Russetpaw is driven by the idea of finding peace for himself. From an early age it struck him that, so far as he could tell, a lot of the grown up cats around him were unhappy. A lot of the warriors seemed cruel, paranoid, and unfulfilled. Meanwhile he witnessed the queens in the nursery fighting with each other over ideals that – he deduced after a lot of thought – didn’t make much sense. From there it didn’t take him long to come to the conclusion that what drove most of Lichenclan – religious fear – was simply not a satisfying way to live. Naturally he didn’t share this thought with others – he’d heard the stories of punished cats – but since then he has been trying to find a better way to live as a clan cat.
Possible future challenges –
A: Finding out information about how the other clans think about Starclan, about whatever it is that the Tribe believes, or even talking to loners/rogues to broaden his thinking.
B: Tension between him and his chosen mentor regarding what a clan warrior’s role is.
C: Coming to terms with the fact that Starclan is more than just an excuse other cats use to get away with their actions, and finding out what they mean to him and how that might change his path in life.

OCHREWHISKER
LICHENCLAN
OPEN FOR ADOPTION
Tom – the same age as Copperhawk
Son of Cliffbelly & Dappleshell. Brother to Copperpaw, Russetpaw, Brightpaw & Goldpaw.
Ochrepaw was born the smallest kit in his litter. And while he still inherited the cobby body of Cliffbelly, being smaller than his siblings meant that the tom was instantly different. As he grew, Ochrepaw became very aware of this, especially once he noticed that his father gave him the least attention of all his children. In comparison his mother smothered him with affection, which Ochrepaw would have enjoyed more if it weren’t for the sneaking thought in the back of his head – Dappleshell pitied him. By the time he was old enough to become an apprentice, Ochrepaw had developed a needy nature and often clung to the presence of his brothers. In the back of his mind he knew that his family loved him, but there was always the nagging idea that they considered him a burden.
But by the time he was named an apprentice, Ochrepaw just didn’t know what to do about it. He didn’t enjoy fighting and he didn’t have a knack for it. His mentor didn’t seem interested in trying to teach him in a way that would help him overcome this problem, and he was too worried that his family would see it as another one of his problems if he were to bring it up to them.
Possible future challenges -
A: Ochrepaw is absolutely the type of cat to be drawn in by someone that is personable that will give him the time of day. Even if that character were someone that didn’t actually treat him all that well – a modicum of praise and overlooking his failings would be enough. If that were the case, gaining his independence from that character would be a primary challenge of growth for Ochrepaw.
B: Figuring out what he can do within the clan that fits his more ‘cowardly’ nature. Maybe he’d make a good, caring father once he becomes more emotionally mature.

BRIGHTFLAME
LICHENCLAN
open for adoption
Molly – the same age as Copperhawk
Daughter of Cliffbelly & Dappleshell. Sister to Copperpaw, Russetpaw, Ochrepaw & Goldpaw.
Brightpaw, from the start, was always more interested in what adults were doing than the kits around her. While her brothers played and Goldpaw found her own adventures to keep her busy, Brightpaw was watching the activities of camp. She followed Dappleshell’s footsteps like a second shadow, listened at the paws of the elders, and tried to figure out why things that were so hard for her seemed so simple for older cats.
Quickly, Brightpaw developed into the ‘responsible’ sibling among the litter. She didn’t like to get into scuffles or trouble. She often had her own plans for the day and what she wanted to do, and it didn’t involve her siblings. Any occasion that involved her being around other adult cats she took very seriously. Including, much to her shame at the time, the kit ceremony where she sneezed up water because she was so focused on proving how mature she could be. Really, she’s not as mature as she tries to be.
Possible future challenges –
A: Connecting emotionally to her siblings who, until now she has been distant from.
B: Figuring out how to be the mature cat she wants to be. Does that mean being a traditional LC molly? Does it mean becoming the opposite?
C: Growing up enough that she realizes she needs to relinquish the responsibility for her siblings’ actions that she inherently feels.
Appearance – Chocolate calico shorthair with dark orange eyes.

Molly – the same age as Copperhawk
Daughter of Cliffbelly & Dappleshell. Sister to Copperpaw, Russetpaw, Ochrepaw & Brightpaw.
Goldpaw is, in a word, covetous. She wants the best things, especially if others have them. Whether that be a close friendship that she envies or a more comfortable bed of moss, it matters little. And towards these ends, she has developed methods that suit her. She is wily, and often dreaming up schemes to accomplish her goals. She is mercurial, and constantly seeking the upper hand in any situation she finds herself in. Whether it requires her mind or her actions to accomplish, it matters little. Though, she prefers to outwit an opponent with conversation. She lives in the moment, thinking of what she can do right then instead of tomorrow or moons in the future.
From an early age Goldpaw was very aware that, to Cliffbelly, she did not measure up to Copperpaw. Which was clearly a mistake, in her view. Sure, Copperpaw was stronger. But she was smarter, and she knew it. So she couldn’t understand how Cliffbelly didn’t. At first, she tried to make him see. When he visited them in the nursery she would show off her smarts and accomplishments. But it didn’t take long for her to realize that at her best she would be second to him, even while he did care about her.
Possible future challenges –
A: Finding a long term goal for her to work towards. Something that she would want badly enough to override her other desires.
B: Figuring out her place within the clan’s standing, as what she wants to do could raise her to the highest echelons of society or have her spending time with heathens if it means getting what she wants.
C: Earning more of Cliffbelly’s time and approval. Developing a real relationship with him.
