WinterClan
(CW: Animal cruelty)
Moon 1 (Leaf-bare)
My name is Oatpaw.
I'm from WinterClan.
There's only four cats here, including myself.
There... Used to be more of us.
My grandfathers were Winterstar and Fluffymoor, although Fluffymoor wasn't that fluffy now that I think about it.
Right now it's just me, Cricketpaw, and my moms, their names are Snowcreek and Blizzardstorm.
I'm just glad I'm not the only cat left, that sounds difficult...
Moon 2
I wish I could spend the entire day with Cricketpaw.
Sadly I don't think that's possible.
We did get to gather herbs together though!
Moon 3 (Newleaf)
Blizzardstorm renamed me to Oatwater.
Cricketpaw also brought back some cats! One of them was a healer from another clan, her name is Murkgrass. She had a litter of kits with her, four toms and one she-kit. The toms are named Cloudkit, Silverkit, Hawkkit, and Quietkit. The daughter's name is Mistkit.
Snowcreek's ear also got torn, apparently she and Blizzardstorm tried to chase a dog off of the territory.
Moon 4
Mistkit is apparently paralyzed. I hope Blizzardstorm will still allow her to be a warrior...
I heard that the ancient clans don't allow cats who are paralyzed to be warriors. I hope that won't be the case in this day and age.
Moon 5
Blizzardstorm is Blizzardstar now! Snowcreek is also the deputy now!
Things are starting to look better now that there aren't four cats. Snowcreek also recovered from her torn ear.
Moon 6 (Greenleaf)
Murkgrass recovered from having her litter. She's taken on the responsibility of mentoring Cricketpaw now.
... My moms and I also went on a patrol. I.. heard screams. I went to assist the cat who was going to be killed by a twoleg... But... The twoleg grabbed me and threw me to the ground. My jaw is broken now...
Moon 9 (Leaf-fall)
Murkgrass's kits are now apprentices! Blizzardstar is allowing Mistkit to be a warrior as well!
Quietpaw also isn't that quiet anymore.
Cloudpaw also stepped up to be a meditator apprentice.
Moon 10
I can't seem to catch a break with broken bones! I recovered from my broken jaw, but then I saw Quietpaw was about to get killed by a dog! I managed to save him, but one of my bones broke in the process.
Moon 11
Cricketpaw finally got her full healer name! She's Crickedstripe now.
... Hawkpaw, Quietpaw, and Silverpaw are also in the healer den with me now. They tried to do a border patrol, but fell in a river, specifically a river leading to a waterfall! They were lucky to wash up on a riverbed. Hawkpaw got a sprain and one of Quietpaw's bones broke, Silverpaw was lucky to only get scrapes. Murkgrass was the one to find them, she went out herb gathering and that's when she found them.
Moon 12 (Leaf-bare)
Mistpaw and Silverpaw brought back a loner, his name is Night. He's also Cloudpaw's mentor now.
... I'm also worrying that Cricketstripe may like Murkgrass more than me...
Moon 13
Hawkpaw finally recovered from his sprain.
... I wonder when my broken bone is gonna heal...
Moon 14
To my surprise, Cricketstripe asked me to be her mate.
... Silverpaw also died...
Mistpaw told me that she and Hawkpaw did all they could to free Silverpaw from the rocks that trapped him... But in the end...
I feel bad for Mistpaw, she and Silverpaw were very close..
Moon 15
I can finally walk again!
Hawkpaw and Mistpaw are also warriors now! Hawkdawn and Mistbubble!
Cloudpaw also became a full meditator, his new name is now Cloudswan.
Night also brought a litter of four kits back to camp, he didn't talk about the origin of them though. The litter has three toms and one she-kit. The toms are Icykit, Stoatkit, and Stonekit, the she-kit is Silverkit.
... I think Night named her in honor of Silverpaw.
I also went out to gather herbs with Cricketstripe, and she told me she's expecting kits!
... I'm worried though... What if something bad happens?

I think about the accidental family names the Erin’s end up making. Like Willowstripe having Darkstripe and Graystripe and then Graystripe naming his son Bumblestripe.

Golden Paws on A Starry Sea
After leading Shellclan for 5 amazing years, Bramblestar had finally lost her last life, and now Beepelt was taking over in her spot. Beepelt couldn’t believe she was doing this. Her heart was pounding in her throat. She felt like throwing up. She felt like screaming, crying, anything to keep her from seeing the spirit of the dark Molly that took her in so long ago. But she had to do this. For Shellclan. For her adoptive siblings. For Spikedapple. The thought of all those who were depending on her made her throat clench. She couldn’t do this. The maw of the cave was going to swallow her. She wasn’t going to get her nine lives.
Before she could turn and go back to camp, a gentle paw was set on her shoulder. She jolted and spun around to find her assailant only to come face to face with Spikedapple, her beloved mate. Upon seeing the tortoiseshell Molly, her eyes welled up. All the doubts she had about being a mate and deputy crashed down on her like a tidal wave against the rocky cliffs of Wolfclan.
Seeing the state of her mate made Spikedapple worried. Gently, she pulled the cream, gray, and white molly into her hold, shushing her gently as she began to cry and mumble apologies into her long and soft fur. “Shhhh shhhh shhh…it’s okay Beepelt..it’s okay…” she whispered quietly to her mate. She always knew Beepelt had doubts about her role in the clan, but she never thought it would affect her that badly. Seems like they have some talking to do back at camp.
Beepelt’s soft crying slowed and turned into small hiccups and sniffles. Spikedapple gently reaches up to wipe away her mate’s tears. “‘m okay..” Beepelt mumbled, her voice weak. “Are you sure about that dear? You don’t seem too okay…” she gave Beepelt a gentle nuzzle. “Would you like me to come with you?” She asked. Beepelt slowly nodded, unable to bring herself to say anything more.
Gently, Spikedapple led her back to the maw of the cave. Her heart leapt again. She considered turning and running, but the feeling of Spikedapple’s soft fur against her side made her reconsider. Slowly, she pushed her way into the darkness. The darkness and shadow was only momentary though, as she and Spikedapple were quickly bathed in glowing blue light. In the center of the cave was the star pool, full of stars and glowing blue, the light shifting as the water rippled. A smooth path was laid out in front of them, leading to the pool. Looking down to the smooth stone, Beepelt could see the indents of many sets of paws. Looking to the blue walls, she could see carvings. Stories from the history of Tideclan and Wolfclan littered the walls. Looking back to the pool, she could see Clovertusk sitting at the edge of the pool. “Woa…” Spikedapple mumbled. She gave her a gentle nudge, encouraging Beepelt to follow the paw prints to Clovertusk, reassuring her that she would be right with her with a gentle nuzzle. Slowly, Beepelt made her way to Clovertusk, pausing to read the stories the past healers and prophets of Tide and Wolf have left on the walls. As she approached the pool, nervousness welled up in her throat again. What if they didn’t accept her? What if she didn’t get her nine lives? Quickly padding over, Spikedapple reassuringly pressed herself against Beepelt’s side. ‘Everything will be okay.’ Beepelt reassured herself and sat at the edge of the pool with Clovertusk, her paws almost touching the glowing water. Clovertusk turned to Beepelt, ignoring Spikedapple’s presence. “Are you ready, Beepelt?” The gray and white Molly asked, stoic and calm as ever. Beepelt nodded, still feeling her heart pounding in her throat. “Beepelt, you must be prepared to dive into the living waters of the starpool and come out the other side in starclan. Are you ready for that?” The prophet asked. ‘Wait, what!? No one said anything about diving into the starpool!’ She thought, fur bristling.
Spikedapple gently curled her long tail around Beepelt’s. She had to do this. Slowly, Beepelt nodded once more. “Good. Now go. You must receive your nine lives.
Slowly, Beepelt waded through the crystal waters of the starpool, the stars glowing on her back. Taking a deep breath, she dived deeper into the pool, her heart still pounding. She started to worry that this was just a ploy for her to drown, but kept swimming. She was a sea cat. She wouldn’t drown.
The water started to get warmer. Has she reached starclan? Slowly opening her eyes, she found herself in new waters, alive with many fish and glowing with many beautiful shades of purple and blue. She could see the surface, where stars glowed. Slowly, she surfaced, a little confused. Shouldn’t she be in the tunnels? Reaching a paw out of the water, she quickly found that she could walk upon it, like a solid surface. Pulling herself out of the water, she looked around, taking in the view of a beautiful night sky with the moon bright on the horizon. Shaking water from her pelt, she looked around once more, confused. If this was starclan where are all of the cats? In the blink of an eye, they appeared in front of her, fur glowing golden and littered with gold stars. One cat stepped forward. His fur was short, showing his muscular build and short tail. It was Cricketstripe. “Hello there Beepelt. We’ve missed you all greatly.” He said, his voice echoing. Beepelt felt herself tear up and looked around at all the golden cats in front of her. She could see Cricketstripe, Murktuft, Brighttail, Frostfog, Wisteriabloom, Snailsplash, Darkgoose, Podflight, and last of all, Bramblestar. She almost cried upon seeing all the cats she cared oh so dearly about. Gently, Cricketstripe pulled her into his hold, his golden body warm against her pelt. She never thought she’d get to this point, yet here they all are. All her loved ones who passed on, here in front of her, all singing her praises.
Beepelt was so close to crying that the ceremony blurred together. Next thing she knew, Bramblestar was in front of her. The golden Molly began to speak. “Beepelt, you have been an amazing deputy. Ever since you became my deputy I had no doubt that you would take over for me. You have become more than just a deputy. You may be a daughter and a deputy to me, but to the clan you’re a true leader. You’re loyal, honest, and kind. You may be nervous, but you also have great courage. Use your courage well when leading Shellclan.” Beepelt felt herself begin to cry. “With this last life, I give you the life of bravery. Be brave in the face of danger and you shall succeed as leader.” Bramblestar gently pressed her nose to Beepelt’s forehead, granting her the mark of a leader. “Good luck Beestar. Your clan is counting on you.” Gently Bramblestar wiped away her tears. Sniffling, Beestar engulfed the golden Molly in a hug as best as she could, before making her way back to where she entered. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she sank back down into the warm waters.
Beestar didn’t even realize she was back in the starpool until she heard Spikedapple’s soft voice calling out to her from above the water. Slowly she emerged from the crystal waters, gasping for air. Quickly she swam back to shore into Spikedapple’s embrace. Clovertusk spoke up from her spot next to the pool. “Welcome back, Beestar.”

Goosepine hypos ty 4 chnace
i can always count on you to push the goosepine agenda
Tumblr media
Heronchase:
non-binary
massive, scarred, reddish-brown with white gloves and green eyes
Strong and battle hungry, eager to prove themself to their clan
Sees their father Pine as disgrace and Goose as a lazy lump of fur
has practically removed themself from their family and instead focusing on clan politics and climbing up the social ladder.
Daisyweb:
Trans fem
light gray spotted tabby and white with blue eyes
THE WOMAN
She’s the binding glue to this wreck of a family, the only way Heron and Goose will tolerate each other’s presence is if she’s there.
She knows all the clan gossip and is mega invested in everyone’s business
She just has this natural charisma and positive atmosphere.
Rookwish/Snake-eyes:
Tom
a lean dark gray classic tabby with bright blue eyes
Got Goose’s powers passed down to him
left thunderclan not wanting to deal with all their nonsense
Went go live in the same twoleg for place where Skyclan was later founded and became their first medicine cat once Firestar and Sandstorm arrived
Went on to train Echosong and join Starclan before Skyclan joined at the lake.
Cricketstripe/Queenie:
Molly
gray with flecks of darker brown fur and green-blue sectoral heterochromia
Oh boy, Cricket STRUGGLED in the clans
She’s kind and caring, but her blunt personality and notable lack with picking up social cues she did not fit in with her clanmates
When her father left she chose to leave with him to become kittypet and it proved to be extremely beneficial
She does still wonder what would’ve happened had she stayed though.

Thunderclan!Princess and Smudge AU
Smudge joins thunderclan after running into Firepaw during his assessment. He loves his life as a kittypet, but like his friend he's scared of being fixed. Plus he sees how well Firepaw is getting along so he figures he should be ok too
Tigerclaw is not at all pleased by this and tries to argue, but Firepaw counters that it should be Bluestar who makes the decision. So they bring Smudge back to camp with them
Bluestar is hesitant at first but Firepaw reminds her that she said the clan needs warriors. She agrees and reluctantly accepts Smudge into thunderclan's ranks
Smudge is renamed Magpiepaw and is given to Spottedleaf to train. She needs an apprentice after all
A short while later, Magpiepaw decides he does not like being a medicine cat apprentice. Ravenpaw, however, he thinks would be better in his place. So the pair request a role switch. Magpiepaw is reassigned to Tigerclaw (much to his disappointment) and Ravenpaw joins Spottedleaf in the medicine den. Later Ravenpaw's training is picked up by Yellowfang and he is eventually named Ravensong (Cinderpaw/pelt still has her accident but stays a warrior since another medicine cat is not currently needed)
Tigerclaw is harsh on Magpiepaw, pushing him harder than most apprentices. But Magpiepaw can handle the tabby's aggression well, much better than Ravenpaw could. Tigerclaw is impressed by this but would never admit that to anyone. Secretly he prefers Magpiepaw to Ravenpaw
Moons later, he given his warrior name: Magpiefur. He is named alongside Sandstorm and Dustpelt
A few moons later Fireheart runs into his sister, Princess, in the forest. He starts to speak to her and tells her about the clans. Princess becomes intrigued, and asks to come home with her brother
Fireheart at first is adamant about letting his sister come to Thunderclan. She's pregnant, and it's Leafbare, how will she handle being a wild cat in such conditions?
Princess, however, is stubborn. She threatens to follow Fireheart whether he takes her willingly or not. Plus she says that with her in the clan, Thunderclan can have even more warriors once her kits are born
Not wanting to argue, Fireheart reluctantly leads his sister back to his territory
Bluestar seems annoyed that Fireheart has brought home yet another kittypet, and is ready to turn this one away. This is encouraged further by Tigerclaw as he states Fireheart is trying to ruin Thunderclan by introducing in more weak housecat blood
Princess steps forward and says Fireheart had nothing to do with her arrival here. She explains how even he tried to convince her to stay in Twolegplace, but she did not want to stay. It wasn't the life she wanted for her kits, especially when she now knew there was more to life than lazing around being pampered by twolegs
Magpiefur also steps forward to speak out against Tigerclaw's claim. He says that even though he and Fireheart may have been kittypets, they were just as strong and fought just as hard as any clanborn cat
Bluestar finally agrees, but gives Princess the same ultimatum that Lionheart had given Fireheart all those moons ago. She especially stresses the hardships of Leafbare and how dangerous it may be for her kits
Princess is willing to take the risk. If Fireheart and the clan's queens could handle it, then so could she
Though she is still not too pleased, Bluestar accepts Princess into their ranks. She promises to give Princess a warrior name after her kits are born and after she's completed training. Bluestar then assigns Fireheart to keep an eye on his sister and her kits, to make sure they don't fall back into their kittypet ways
Mousefur is assigned to be Princess' mentor. The two get along, their personalities bouncing off each others surprisingly well
A moon later, Princess has five kits. Cloudkit, Birdkit (Nami, calico molly), Applekit (Livy, torbie and white molly), Cricketkit (Zack, grey and white tabby tom), and Fogkit (Taylor, white and grey patched tom). The other queens help to look after them, mainly Brindleface, while Princess trains
A few moons later, she is named warrior: Larchfang. She remains a permanent queen, and is a fierce protector of young cats, especially kits.
Seasons later all of Larchfang's kits are named: Cloudtail (obviously), Birdpelt, Appleface, Cricketstripe, and Fognose. By this point Larchfang has taken a liking to Longtail and they will eventually become mates

Okay so on the tree I’m making Longtail the son of Dapplegaze (Dappletail) but I had a rename idea.
His older siblings are alive as well being Cricketstripe and Featherstep. So Mantis would match his older sister, Lizard suits him and is also a L name, and Tabby is just silly.
