Bites ! ! ! ! (affectionately.)

ghrtdychcbvcg lioncinder family headcanons time!!!!

-fernsong is the only cis cat in the family

-also they’re all adopted bc lion and cinder are both trans

-lionblaze is a big man with a big fluff. all his kits would cuddle in his poof when they were kits. hollytuft and snaptooth still do sometimes. lionblaze was especially close with spotfur and sorrelstripe! he and spotfur are the resident Huge Kitties and he loves how thoughtful and quiet sorrelstripe is. he’s transhet!

-cinderheart is medium-tall and relatively slender, with short, round fur. she’s a broken mackerel tabby, and has a similar stripe pattern to her dad, brackenfur, and has her grandma, willowpelt’s unusual blue eyes. she has a littol heart marking on her chest! she has had a crush on both hollyleaf and lionblaze! she’s transbi :]

-fernsong is a FLOOFY BOI!!! he’s rlly fluffy, though he can’t measure up against spot and lion in sheer Bigness. like his momma, he has a heart marking on his chest! he has yellow-green eyes, just like firestar. he is a sweet, baby-loving boy, and absolutely showers his mate, ivypool, in gifts, and loves to leave flowers in her nest. he’s very close with his daughter, bristlefrost. fernsong is, tragically, cishet

-sorrelstripe is slender and tall. she is dark brown and has stripes that are only noticeable in bright sunlight, like sandstorm. she has amber eyes with a blue ring just like sorreltail’s. she’s very quiet, and cats don’t tend to notice her often. she rarely says what’s on her mind, and usually lets hollytuft or honeyfur speak for the both of them. she’s close friends with honeyfur, as honeyfur’s enthusiastic determination counters her quiet observance. her kits are a couple of abandoned kits she found on the border. she was especially close with her mentor and grandfather, brackenfur, and enjoys hearing his stories about her namesake, sorreltail. she is trans and aroace!

-hollytuft is the living personification of fire. she is bright and feisty and outspoken, and always says exactly what she’s thinking. she has no problem with telling any cat what’s what, and often comes off as violent or argumentative. she is reckless and impulsive, and tends to throw herself right into trouble. she is very close with her mom, cinderheart, and cinderheart advises her often. she is a genderfae lesbian!

-snaptooth is... odd to most cats, endearing to his close friends and family. he has long, droopy golden fur, and light yellow-green eyes. he’s definitely a himbo, and he’s not that smart, though he is sweet and kind. he has a tendency to eat things he shouldn’t be eating. he is super close to his sister, flywhisker, and is very protective of her. he, spot, and fly aren’t actually littermates, but the three of them were all found on the border within a half-moon of each other and became apprentices together, so they consider each other littermates. snaptooth is actually the kit of ice, the Sister, and inherited her ability to see ghosts. to him, they’re just funky dead friends, and he never felt the need to tell anyone besides flywhisker about it, though he does consider talking to rootspring and tree sometimes. he and shellfur are the ULTIMATE chaotic duo. he is trans and aroace!

-flywhisker is a bit of a mess. they’re distractible, impulsive, and temperamental. however, they also care very deeply about their friends and family, and have found a mate in eaglewing. they are surprisingly snarky and good at coming up with funny insults. however, they also hold grudges, and they still don’t like twigbranch very much. flywhisker is fun to be around, as long as you’re on their good side. they are tall and skinny, with spiky fur. they are mostly white and have a few gray tabby patches, and one neon yellow eye and one cyan eye. they are a nonbinary ace lesbian!

-spotfur is really, really big. she’s gigantic and buff and bigger than basically every cat around the lake, and is even taller than some of the Sisters. she’s got dark teal eyes the color of the ocean. she has three distinctive spots next to her right eye that she inherited from frostfur. she is very motherly and compassionate, in the sense that she will actually murder you if you hurt the cats she cares about. she has very strong morals, and sometimes those morals don’t exactly align with the warrior code. she is very scatterbrained and dreamy sometimes, and stemleaf is the only reason she manages to get anything done. she’s the instigator, he’s the organizer. she is a HUGE procrastinator and constantly puts off tasks until the last minute. she is a bi demigirl!

there are probably a thousand run-on sentences in here but I am past the point of caring
