#post Rainstar's burden
Text
Wait hold on I did something on accident but it's so smart
A kittypet whose brother was killed by Myrtle and Alder brought her kit with her to the Clan.
Hollyclaw, Alder's (half) sister happens to have a kit of the same age at the same time.

I also might make a Clangen for cats following Rainstar's Burden, at least the ones who haven't already had kits to give me some ideas.
There's more in the Clan like older characters, but these are the ones I could fit and want to explore.
--
Flowerstar is the kit of Elderchirp and Birdsun, therefore a Cedarsky+Mossflake descendant
Rosemouse is Snowstar (the previous leader and leader after Rainstar)'s brother and brother to Tanglebounce and Shiningmoth who is unseen. He is a kit of Silverwhisker and Runningcloud and therefore a descendant of Rainstar.
Bluefoot is the son of Tanglebounce and is Rosemouse's nephew. He has the same ancestors.
He is the deputy, an interesting choice considering Flowerstar killed Snowstar--it was established she felt guilt, and probably chose him because of that.
Olivetree and Mara are both former kittypets while Gladebush was a loner. They were offered a home in the Clan to 1) make up for the murders as much as they could and 2) increase the numbers that had decreased so much (and to avoid inbreeding).
Olivetree refused due to Myrtle and Alder having killed her brother, but then her Twolegs took away her kits. She decided to join the Clan when she had just one left so that she could raise them. That kit is Parsleykit.
Hollyclaw had a son in canon Jumpfoot, but by this point he's dead. While he was alive and an adult, she had more kits with a donor and her mate. Her kits are Fennelpaw and Riftkit.

how did flowerstar get into starclan if she killed
It's a similar thing to Hollyleaf--she felt guilt over the death AND (more importantly, in StarClan's eyes) more than made up for it.
For those unfamiliar with why I made Flowerstar a killer, she was encouraged in her dreams by Myrtle and Alder--who wanted revenge for Alder's death-- to become leader. She did this by killing the previous leader and deputy so that she could get the position.
But suddenly she was given so much responsibility and it was very hard. In her dreams, the two goaded her own, saying how she was just another warrior, was nothing, and their words were probably fueled by experiences in life (perhaps a mate cheating on her, parents praising her littermates more often than they do her).
She wanted to be seen, and they convinced her that she had to become leader for it. After all, she could die as deputy, and then what? It wasn't like those retired or died off all the time and no one remembers them. They only remember the leaders.
In her nine lives ceremony, she was told the whole truth about Myrtlewing and Alderstar lying to her (they didn't know until she likely said their names at some point), and told her that what she did was horrid.
It's also like canon Blackstar as well because they tell her that her life as leader would be her second chance.
So she leads well, always putting her Clan above herself. She lost her last life via infected wound after defending the elders from an owl. While sick, she decided to announce to the Clan what she had done, and who to look out for in case Myrtlewing and Alderstar try to visit their dreams as well. With that, she exiled herself and died the next day.
Thus began the Curse of The Roots belief.

Now with a another break from the long text, here’s some cat appearances
DARK FOREST CATS (when in dreams):
NOTE: commonly on the blog, DF cats look how they do in life (are solid), albeit with different eyes (which you saw on the pinned-pinned post). Sometimes, however, things change. Either because drawing them with their death wounds are too tiring or because drawing the typical black eyes are fun. Just roll with it!
STARCLAN CATS (they can have pupils, this was just for the ~look~):
