x - - Welcome - - x -x- Welcome to YewClan, a claim-a-cat roleplay centered around Clangen. This roleplay assumes you have some knowledge about how the game mechanics work and I'd recommend watching a playthrough on youtube if you haven't seen the game before. There's lots of amazing Clangen content creators out there!
In this roleplay, the players write short responses between the game's turns, creating a world and deep characters out of the simulation's random events. A moon passes every three days, and the roleplay focuses on the life of the Clan as time passes. Can we lead YewClan to success? Or will the Clan crumble under pressure?
x - - About - - x -x- YewClan is about writing. The events in the roleplay are predetermined by the simulation, and it's up to the players to weave those events into a story and give them meaning.
Every three days the moons move forward. Roleplay of scenes can occur between these shifts, but much of the "roleplay" will be done in the form of prompts and responses: a character that is important to that moon's events (be it a major event or a patrol leader) will describe what actions occurred that moon; other player's characters are encouraged to describe their reactions to the event in response.
Scenes, or back-and-forth roleplay, give your character experience points and move their relationships forward, giving you in-game stats to reward creative roleplay. You are the main driving factor in your cat's progress through the game.
This roleplay will move quickly. Each real-life week will be a season in your character's eyes, each month an entire year. Little moments build into the big picture, but remember to think about long-term character goals and relationships! x - - Claiming - - x -x- Any cat marked as open in the directory can be claimed. If all cats are claimed, you may join the list below and will be notified as soon as a cat is available. (Please note that established players whose cats have died and have no cats remaining are prioritized over the new players list.)
A player may only claim one cat to start. After ten moons of activity, a player may claim another cat when available.
!! Please read the entire front page, including the rules and warning, and understand the mechanics of the randomized parts of the rp before submitting a form.
If you are claiming a cat that has been abandoned and do not wish to change the description in the allegiances, please put [n/a] in the description box. If your cat is eligible for a name change (indicated by a [*] symbol in the Clan Directory), put the new name in parenthesis after the cat's current name.
Please use this form to claim a cat: Cat's name: Description: (personality + extra physical traits. A paragraph please) - your user tag in plaintext
WAITLIST If there aren't any cats available, you can be added to the waitlist and will be pinged as soon as a cat joins the Clan, kits are born, or a member loses their claims due to inactivity.
- x - - Rules - - x -x- Follow all forum rules. -x- LGBT+ friendly; in the game, cats flirt regardless of gender and different gender identities are commonplace. There's no homophobia or transphobia in YewClan and it won't be tolerated OOC either. -x- Keep OOC distinct from rp responses, either in a post layout or in () []. We don't have a discussion page, so please make it clear when speaking OOC. -x- Activity. You are expected to, at minimum, make a prompt for any major moon events your character is a part of. This means a 4-8 sentence description every three days. More activity is better, of course, and you are encouraged to respond to others' prompts and relationship pips, but the only required responses are for moon events. - Please let me know if you'll be on hiatus for more than one week/two moons. My DM's are open and I would like to know asap so other players can NPC your cat for major events and won't miss out on important moments because one player is not intending on replying. - Missing more than two important moon events in a row will mark you as inactive; missing another will put your characters up for adoption by active players; repeat inactive players will give up their characters. -x- !! NEW !! This rp is now SEMI-LIT and responses must reach a minimum of 5 sentences/one paragraph. One liners or short replies will not be tolerated. Please run all replies through a spell checker. I encourage all members to explore the depth of their character. -x- No god-modding or controlling other players' characters. Focus on the actions your cat took in the event summaries when making starters, and save reactions to other cat's summaries for responses; a player has the right to ignore a minor event if they believe it goes against their character's personality. -x- No excessive descriptions of gore, foul language or death. Everything must be acceptable for ages 13+. -x- Pregnancies and kits will happen more often than usual, as the game moves more quickly than a traditional roleplay. Use the skip button on kitting scenes, please, and only describe what happens after. -x- No cat is ever stuck! Because each moon takes place during a whole month, a cat can be in multiple roleplay scenes with other cats simultaneously: unless they're reacting to the same event, those interactions are simply taking place on different days. x - - Warning - - x -x- No character has plot armor! You are following this cat through a game of Clangen and while you have some control over how your character's story arc will play out, random events WILL occur. Your cat may die with little warning or become injured or ill. By joining this roleplay, you are accepting that your claimed cat may come across hardships or die during the course of the game. The moons march ever onwards.
Please copy or type this when you claim your first cat:
I understand that my cats will eventually die during the course of the game. I understand that while I may influence my character's actions and relationships, the game's random events will ultimately decide my cat's fate.

x - - Prompts - - x -x- Every MONDAY and THURSDAY the game will progress one moon. On these days, you will receive an Event Summary of your cat(s) actions during that moon.
Now's the fun part! Crafting prompts or responses based on the moon's events! A prompt is basically a roleplay starter and can be used to describe any event in more detail: what is happening? What does your cat do or think? Who do they turn to? Use these to set the scene and further describe and expand upon an event that occurred in the Summary.
Responses are replies to the prompt: how does your cat react? What do they do or think? How does that change their relationship with those around them? You can (and should!) chain responses with other players in a more traditional back-and-forth roleplay. A chain of responses is a scene and gives both cats relationship points, experience points, and builds character!
---
What can you respond to? There are four types of events you can reply to each moon: thoughts, major events, patrol events, and relationship pips.
Every moon, your cat has a thought. These aren't always very important, but they are often based on your cat's personality trait and can direct your responses.
Major events, also known as Moon events, are things that happen at the start of the turn. Often these events have a large impact on a cat or the entire Clan. If your cat is directly involved in a major event, you are expected to start a prompt.
If your cat is healthy, they will also go on a patrol every moon. The details of how that patrol went will be in your cat's Summary. Again, if your cat is the main character of a patrol, you should start a prompt.
Relationship pips are small interactions that happen between cats: arguments, conversations, or shared meals. These are the foundation of relationship building and are a good opportunity to interact with another player's prompt in the form of a response. x - - Patrols - - x -x- Every moon, cats go on patrol. I will, by default, assign the healer [+1 random] for a herb patrol, [+3 random] for border, and the remainder for hunting. Mentor-apprentice duos will go on a training patrol every other moon; they will always be paired on patrols if both mentor and apprentice are healthy.
Before the moon change, players may discuss which cats go on which patrol. If patrols are assigned, they will proceed in that order on the next moon and will not follow the random default. x - - Pips - - x Relationship pips are gained by: - Relationship events each turn. - Patrolling with another cat. - Some moon events
Your cats can gain (or lose) relationship points in these categories: Romantic like Platonic like Dislike Respect Comfort Jealousy Trust
Each cat has a value in each of these categories for every other member of the Clan.
x - - Toggles - - x -x- At any time, you can toggle these two settings: Prevent Kits and Limit Romance.
The Prevent Kits toggle is easy: when it is on, your cat cannot have or adopt kits. Use this toggle if you do not want your cat to be a parent. You can toggle this on and off any time.
The Limit Romance toggle allows you to basically freeze your cat's romantic state. When this is on, your cat will no longer flirt with other cats and cannot accept mate requests from other cats. They also cannot break up with their current mate if they have one. x - - Meta - - x -x- Mass extinction is OFF - Once the Clan has 20 cats, there will be a vote to turn this on. -x- Cats CAN have kits with cats that are not their mates. -x- Same-sex kits are OFF - But Increased same-sex adoption is ON -x- Unknown second parent is currently OFF - This setting will be toggled on and off periodically. -x- Romantic interaction with former mentors is OFF -x- First cousin romances is also OFF -x- Leaders will automatically choose a deputy! -x- Apprentices will graduate when they gain enough experience. -x- Cats can retire from permanent conditions (such as chronic illness or injury) -x- Warriors and elders can choose to become mediators.
-x- Can the game be rolled back if: ? - Murder: Yes. First, this should be extremely unlikely because I'll be monitoring relationship bars and manually editing them if it goes too far. Unless both players agree to the feud and accept that a murder might occur, I will always keep dislike and jealousy <50%. I also ensured that, at least for the starting cast, no cat is bloodthirsty, cruel or vengeful so this should be extremely unlikely. - Mates/breakups: Very Rarely. You can control relationship progress with toggles. Most romantic affection pips will be given through roleplay with more weight than the in-game events, so you have control over what cat(s) your character flirts with. - Identity changes: Sometimes. I do encourage you to roll with all the curveballs the game throws, but sometimes it is simply random. If you really feel that a change of identity--either of trait, gender, or skill--counteracts everything your character arc has been building towards, then I will revert it. - Parenting: Never. You have complete control over whether or not your cat can have kits with the toggles. - Death: Never. Unfortunately, it's part of the game. All cats will eventually die, even if it's simply from old age. The simulation moves fast, and it's up to us to make these cats find a lasting legacy with the time they have.
NOTE for phone users: the information on the extended allegiances and moon Event Summaries are cut off if you view in portrait/vertical, but are visible in landscape/horizontal orientation. Please allow screen rotation and flip sideways to view these screens (or use the desktop version).

x - - YewClan - - x -x- Welcome to YewClan: the Patient and Hardy. Their cats tend to stay calm in the face of danger and weather problems by stubbornly waiting them out. Their territory is much more rugged than any of their neighbors, giving them a reputation for being able to survive anything. It's true: prey is spread thinner, predators more abundant, the terrain harder to patrol. But YewClan's struggles also make them strong.
YewClan's cats tend towards long fur. Their climate, particularly at higher elevations in the north, brings a lot of snow and the long furred cats do well in the cold winters. For build, they tend to be stealth-ambush hunters and so value strength and bulk over lither forms. Many have especially keen vision at night. x - - Land- - x -x- YewClan lives in mixed forest. To the south the land has more deciduous trees, mostly beech, ash and maple with some chestnut and oak. To the north, their land slopes upward sharply, forming a ridge. Here, the land is stonier, littered with exposed rock and boulders. The trees also shift to conifers: white pine being dominant, but interspersed with the yew that gives YewClan their name.
Landmarks - Rushing Creek forms the border between YewClan and FlowerClan. The water is shallow, but cold and fast. It originates in the mountains to the north. Its banks are covered in pebbles; some cats can try and fish here, or look for pretty stones.
- Rainfang's Point isn't a hill at all, but a massive white pine that towers over its kin. Visible from much of the northern territory, it's an easy landmark to reorient oneself in the hills. The paths leading to its trunk are well-traveled and a small groundhog burrow dug beneath its roots makes for a good shelter in case any cat gets caught out in a storm.
- Green pond is an algae-covered body of water that Rushing Creek flows into. It is in the southeast corner of YewClan territory and covers the majority of the border between PlumClan and YewClan. The ground around the pond is low and marshy.
- The Ridge runs east-west and cuts YewClan's territory into two halves. It is the prominent feature of YewClan's territory and is also where their camp resides.
x - - Camp - - x -x- In the center of their territory, the flat forests of the south suddenly form a ridge leading to the higher elevations in the north. Along this ridge is a narrow ledge, a flat space scooped out from the side of the earth and stone, and this is where YewClan's camp resides. Only a few carefully guarded trails give stable footing up to their snug camp. Many dens are dug into the side of the slope, where the soil is packed and sturdy. Others are formed from thick snarls of shrub. At the southern rim of camp, a cluster of stones forms a ledge over the edge of the ridge. Cats often come here to share tongues or look over the southern territory. x - - Borders - - x -x- BurdockClan: the Careful and Deliberate -- Friendly -x- PlumClan: the Mellow and Graceful -- Friendly -x- FlowerClan: the Clever and Just -- Friendly
BurdockClan to the south shares the longest border with YewClan. Their territory is largely fallow farm fields interspersed with some creeks and deciduous forest. They tend not to make much trouble, so long as they aren't provoked.
PlumClan is kitty-corner to YewClan in the southeast. Their territory consists of orchards and buffer forest. They tend to be the most friendly to outsiders and have many former loners in their ranks. They are old allies of YewClan.
FlowerClan is to the east of YewClan, across the stream. They live in hilly plainland. Their cleverness often leads them to trouble, getting them into problems they thought they could handle. They are YewClan's greatest threat: FlowerClan won't hesitate to raid YewClan's borders if they think they can get away with it. x - - Traditions - - x -x- None yet, you'll come up with these~

Some of the dark grey markings form a mask around her luminous silver eyes (that can be easily mistaken for brown at first glance).

Intelligent and skilled in herbcraft, she dedicates herself to helping any cat who needs it. After growing disturbed with fighting, she decided to train as a medicine cat.

Despite her silliness, Shadepaw takes her duties as a medicine cat seriously. She adores learning about herbs and caring for her patients. Formerly the BurdockClan medicine cat apprentice, she left after being fascinated with the way YewClan cats were so eager to help, her heart yearned to switch Clans after witnessing the heroic act. And after much consideration, Shadepaw decided to try her luck.

x - - Warriors - - x Spottedfur SENIOR WARRIOR || male, he/him || eye: silver || pelt: short, silver, speckled || Sand Compassionate Renowned hunter Fairly clairvoyant
Description Spottedfur is a lean, silver speckled tom. He has silver eyes and a burn scar on his hind left foot. He is known for being compassionate towards others, whether they’re from YewClan or not. Spottedfur is a renowned hunter among most of the warriors. He sees most things in a positive light and refuses to acknowledge negativity. Spottedfur is fairly clairvoyant, but doesn’t dabble in it too much.
Will always proceed on hunting patrols. Former Apprentices: Mistleheart Scarletdrift SENIOR WARRIOR || male, he/him || eye: sunlit ice || pelt: long, ginger, classic || dewbranch Charismatic Unusually Strong Fighter
Description Scarletdrift is a mostly white tom with ginger markings. His pelt is dappled with dark-and-light ginger spots and his tail has ginger bands. His right ear is covered in ginger, as are the corners of both his eyes. His eyes: the true spectacle. Each is blue near the centers and vivid yellow on the rims. A cat can easily get lost in Scarletdrift's eyes. Emboldened by his natural fighting skills, Scarletdrift isn't afraid of anything. He's constantly in the middle of trouble. Stubborn to a fault, he rarely backs down from a challenge and doesn't know how to ask for help.
Former Apprentices: Thrushfleck Heavy WARRIOR || female, she/her || eye: blue || pelt: long, calico || Feathertalon Insecure Keen Eye Incredible runner
Description Long, colorful fur makes up this molly’s pelt. The predominant colors of her fur are white and orange tabby, with the orange covering most of her front half and the white decorating her back half. Here and there patches of brown tabby make their appearance, the most notable brown patch coloring the left side of her face. She has soft sky blue eyes. Due to a terrible injury, she has a harsh scar along her back. She is an introspective, thoughtful cat, yet these thoughts tend to make her overthink simple words and gestures to the point that she is constantly unsure of herself. Hardly ever does she feel confident in herself and her actions, leaving her to freeze in the face of any possible leadership or decision making. Her insecure overthinking has given her a knack for seeing deeper into things, whether it be subtle gestures or emotions of another cat, or her being the first to spot the movement of prey in deep undergrowth. One thing she was once certain of about herself was her ability to run and trust her legs, but since her accident she has lost even the confidence of her own legs and finds herself doubting she’ll ever be able to run again.
Formerly a loner Accessory: Bluebells Hazelpelt WARRIOR || female, she/her || eye: pale blue || pelt: long, cinnamon, classic || jaybun! insecure good mediator
Description Hazelpelt is an small cat by typical Warrior standards, no doubt due to her to kittypet heritage. Her long fur is silky, with a cinnamon base and darker brown classic tabby markings; which make her pale blue eyes pop in contrast! Having lost her way from her Two-legs home, she's still not sure if clan life is for her. And she keeps her collar in the secret hope she might be able to still find her way back.
Formerly a kittypet Accessory: pink leather collar
Frozenlaurel WARRIOR || male, he/him || eye: yellow-green || pelt: short, grey, sokoke || starstrucknight Ambitious Good Swimmer
Description Formerly, Frozenlaurel was a kitty pet but being cooped up between four walls never sat right with him, he always wished to explore and hunt for himself. Joining the wild cats was something he had always dreamt of and joining YewClan, his true personality was able to be shown. Frozenlaurel is by nature inquisitive and curious, always wanting to know what's going on, maybe this is what makes him rather sneaky. He is generally quite quiet although energetic and stealthy, despite being a former kittypet he is aware of what he needs to be a good warrior and incredibly ambitious towards his goals.
Accessory: blue bell collar Formerly a kittypet Mistleheart WARRIOR || female, she/her || eye: yellow || pelt: long, grey, ticked || Bittermoonloyal great storyteller valuable insight
Description Mistleheart is a long-furred white and gray ticked she-cat with yellow eyes. She was found abandoned in YewClan's territory after her mother unfortunately passed away. She is bossy towards other cats, often boasting how she will be the greatest warrior that YewClan has ever seen. She also loves to tell stories to the other cats, adventures she had after sneaking out of the nursery.
Mentor: Spottedfur
Found abandoned as a kit Thrushfleck WARRIOR || male, he/him || eye: blue || pelt: long, ginger, speckled || grimmreminder playful natural intuition fast as the wind
Description Thrushfleck is a long furred red speckled tom with cream markings. The cream markings consist of mittens, an underbelly, and the entirety of his tail. He's nimble and skinny, a born and built hunter who took after his mother in more ways than he can truly count. What in him even resembles his father? A question he isn't sure of- as even his sky-blue eyes full of youth and vigor were inherited from Heavy. He lets his intuition guide him through life, reflecting on the lessons instilled in him by his mentor and parents, not wanting to let ANYTHING happen to anyone under his watch like the accident that befell heavy. That being said, he interacts with others with cheer and optimism, wishing to keep everyone happy and on their toes. with his playful antics. He wants to see the good in people, trying to place himself in the metaphorical shoes of others even if his assumptions are.. entirely wrong. Its not that he doesn't have his downtrodden moments, or that he can't sense when he isn't wanted, but he's a people pleaser at heart. He doesn't wish to see others down, acting as an emotional rock for his mother and siblings. His position as older brother is a role he is very proud in.
Mentor: Scarletdrift
Slatefoot WARRIOR || female, she/her || eye: yellow-green || pelt: medium, black, rosette || Feathertalon loving incredible runner steady paws Description A sleek, thick coat painted with a dusky gray is the dominant coloring on this molly. Splashed throughout the dark gray are even darker rosettes, inky black in color. The rosettes mostly dapple her flanks and back, while on her tail and forehead they appear as typical tabby patterns. Breaking through the darkness of her pelt would be a soft white chin, chest, underbelly, and paws. Her eyes are a pale yellow-green. When it comes to her personality, this feline has a remarkable amount of charisma, and she knows how to use this to charm others into getting her way. This can pair well with the fact that she has boundless energy, and rather let cats get annoyed at her by her tireless nature, she can charm those around her to find even her flaws endearing.
Mentor: Bubblingstar
Brightleaf WARRIOR || female, she/her || eye: emerald || pelt: long, cream, sokoke || dewbranch charismatic great kitsitter good storyteller
Description Brightkit is a long-furred, cream she-cat with blotched tabby markings that call to mind wood grain. She has a swoop of white along one side of her face, and her chest and small areas on her paws are white, too. Her eyes are a distinctive emerald green. Once Brightkit gets started on something, no cat can stop her! She tends to rush into things without considering the consequences, much to her mother and littermates' exhaustion. Her vivid imaginative faculties mean she is very good at keeping herself entertained.
Mentor: Stemriver

Description A gray speckled tom. He has pale green eyes with gold specks. He's fidgety, always wanting to race around camp or jump up and down asking a bajillion questions. Obnoxious but cute, in a way. Pondkit is occasionally caught doing strange stunts, like climbing the highest trees in camp or other such things.

Cat's name: Mistkit Name change: Stormkit Description: Stormkit is a short-furred, fluffy, grey she-cat with with patches of grey, both lighter and darker. Some of the dark grey markings form a mask around her luminous silver eyes (that can be easily mistaken for brown at first glance). Stormkit is a sweet kid, with a sense of responsibility beyond her years. She loves to learn and is quick to recall information, a trait that will serve her well once she becomes an apprentice. She idolises Bubblingstar and wants to be like him when she grows up. - TheKeenGlint
DISCLAIMER: I understand that my cats will eventually die during the course of the game. I understand that while I may influence my character's actions and relationships, the game's random events will ultimately decide my cat's fate.
(OOC: YESYESYESYESYESSSSSSS I'm looking forward to getting started! Also, hope I didn't do anything wrong.)

Cat's name: Icepath Name change: N/A Description: This beautiful she-cat is an unusual feline indeed. Her thick coat appears spiky and like frozen spires, but it is as soft as chick down and is a warm comfort to ailing kits. She stands fairly tall, strong, lean legs that cause her to tower over most. Her face is sharp and triangular, with pale that seem to pierce the soul.
WIP
-- Icepath is an empath at heart, though she doesn't show it, she has this way with a feeling a cat's emotions that if one is particularly sad or angry that day, she'll try to comfort or soothe them...maybe sneak some calming herbs into their prey. Her voice is said to sound like ice cracking, hence her prefix. Little know it, but she loves singing, but you didn't hear it from me. - swaggycassie
I understand that my cats will eventually die during the course of the game. I understand that while I may influence my character's actions and relationships, the game's random events will ultimately decide my cat's fate.
And I will probably die from heartache

TheKeenGlint welcome aboard! Stormkit is only 2 moons old, so it'll be a few turns before she really has anything to do, but there should be some cute relationship pips to interact with until then <3 (OOC: Of course, and it'll give me plenty of time to figure out my character's voice!
Quick question: Am I right in assuming that our forms can be treated as evolving documents and edited as our cats grow and develop?)

@swaggycassie yo! Do note that healers will be required at least one patrol response every moon, as well as more activity than the other roles ^^ Also don't make the description too long, mk~ TheKeenGlint yes! any major change can allow you to edit the description. They're mostly there so other members can keep track without having to read every response every moon Also yall I forgot I have rock climbing tonight ;-; I'll get the thought bubbles up for yall to play with; feel free to do some rp and interactions while I'm gone. Just assume all forms are accepted. If Sand comes around, her word is law until I'm back

Stormkit
In a little nook, not too far from the nursery, Stormkit was sat by herself, tucked as far in as she could go. She needed a place where she could hide and think by herself, and this was perfect.
She had only recently internalised the reality that, when cats die, they don't come back. Stormkit barely had any memory of her mother, Mosspond, but one stuck out the most — she had a lovely smile. When she looked down at Stormkit with such an affectionate gaze, the little one felt like everything would be alright, and that the world was a safe place. Knowing that she'd never see her mother smile again...
Stormkit whimpered. She just needed some time alone to try and make sense of it all.
(OOC: Because Mosspond's name is crossed out in the Tree, I assume she passed away a moon or so before this one?)

Cat's name: Spottedfur Name change: N/A Description: Spottedfur is a lean, silver speckled tom. He has silver eyes and a burn scar on his hind left foot. He is known for being compassionate towards others, whether they’re from YewClan or not. Spottedfur is a renowned hunter among most of the warriors. He sees most things in a positive light and refuses to acknowledge negativity. Spottedfur is fairly clairvoyant, but doesn’t dabble in it too much. - sandclaw

I'll do the main writing piece later, but man, Icepath is already hitting me with omens?
I don't remember if you said already, but where do we post the writings?

Cat's name: Beesong Name change: N/A Description: Beesong is a long furred she-cat with a cream colored coat and a darker ginger stripe beginning between her ears all the way down her spine and then spreading across her fluffy tail. She has icy blue eyes white socks on all four paws along with a white chest, neck, muzzle, and stripe between her eyes. Beesong is a quiet and soft spoken cat, not one to cause trouble or argue as she is a people pleasure and tries to avoid conflict. She is nervous and easily scared, but she is super kind and gentle towards others. She has a good memory, keen eye, and easily picks up on things. - quokka
DISCLAIMER - I understand that my cats will eventually die during the course of the game. I understand that while I may influence my character's actions and relationships, the game's random events will ultimately decide my cat's fate.
I've never done anything like this, but it seems fun! Apologies if I do something wrong, but I think it will be easier to understand once we start and I see it being played out (: I'm excited!

QUACK quokka Sand all yall are accepted~ Editing the front page now so yall might get a few pings when I set up the tags. Feel free to set up a starter whenever you'd like! Glint has an awesome example of what one of those could look like (and I'll get mine up sometime after I'm done with the front page). Sand- this format should be extra kind to time zones; I was hoping to get the summaries up around 3est (which is usually when I have a block of time to do things) which would be late for europe and middle of the night for SEA. tbh it might even be helpful as it'll give people time to write prompts to respond to for moon events ^^ Quokka - welcome to the forums! Also this format is going to be new for everyone so feel free to experiment and see what works. I'll probably be tinkering with some of the rules and settings as we go along to make everything work smoothly on this end, it's going to be a learning process all around oh and @swaggycassie replies all go here! and TheKeenGlint yeah, she shared Spottedfur's silver eyes and the StarClan guide's coloration. Mosspond was 116 moons at time of death, so it probably was complications of the birth that killed her :(

Cat's name: Bubblingstar Name change: N/A Description: Bubblingstar is a smaller, lean ginger smoke tom splashed with white splotches. His eyes are pale green, and his tail is little longer than average. Bubblingstar is known for his loving, compassionate manner within his clan.

mk the front page is updated, I finished doing some last minute tweaks to the save file, and I did a little research onto how the skill trees and traits work.
also I just realized this was the first Clan banner I've made since 2017. wow does time pass. I am four computers distant from that time and don't have any good fonts anymore tho

Cat's name: Frostspeck Name change: Frostfleck Description: Frostfleck light ginger tabby she-cat with fluffy, soft fur that is slightly lighter on her underside. Her blue eyes seem to constantly be glittering with mischief. She's on the smaller side, but you wouldn't know it from her larger-than-life personality. Frostfleck got her name when she was born a small, weak only-kit in the dead of leaf-bare. She was born cold, and it seemed she wouldn't survive. When she miraculously did, she was named Frostkit as a reminder of her resilience. This is a trait that persisted, and Frostfleck was a precocious apprentice and young warrior. She's charming and likeable, and prone to humorous, dramatic embellishments which make her entertaining but less than suitable for roles of seriousness and responsibility. - invadervyx

Scarletdrift -x- - --- - -x- He knew Stormkit was hiding. It was the entire Clan's duty to watch over their kits, doubly so after Mosspond's death. Scarletdrift... wasn't very good at the job. But he'd learned a few things watching Beesong and Frostfleck grow up, enough to know when to pretend to look the other way and let them have time without feeling like an older cat is at their scruff.
So he watched the small nook where Stormkit hid herself away, plenty close enough to dart in if anything happened, but far enough that he knew the young kitten wouldn't think she was being supervised. He set to grooming his long fur, keeping alert even as he wound down from the morning's dawn patrol. "It's alright," he said softly to himself. "I won't let anything happen to you. Not more than it already has, anyways." He flicked a twig between his paws. "YewClan will keep you safe, Stormkit." The words, so far from her ears, helped Scarletdrift the most. Still, he knew they were true. And he'd continue to watch over, but let her have her space until some other cat came to take his place. He was good enough for that task.
