SwiftClan --- Free in the Sky

Territory
The SwiftClan territory is very extensive. There is no end to the hills, valleys, and fields. There are plenty of rocks scattered around and the soil is also rocky. There is a forest, but usually too far away to actually visit for one day.

The Spine
The Spine is a mountain range. The mountains are tall and steep. Most of them are topped with snow and have very little foliage. It is a pretty sparse place with very little of everything except snow and wind. It is pretty dangerous to fly there and only experienced fliers should go.

Apprentice Cliff
On one of the more rocky hills, is a large, sharp rock that juts out of the earth. It is like a mini pride rock. Either way, the wind isn't normally strong since it is protected by the spine and other hills.
 Most mentors take their apprentices to learn here.

Sky Mountain
Perhaps the tallest mountain in the Spine. It is not very steep, but rocky and tall. It is a magnificent mountain. A cat wishing to speak to StarClan should climb the mountain until reaching a cave. Inside the cave, they are to sleep and receive a dream from StarClan for guidance.

River
In one of the valleys, there is a large and shallow river. It doesn't flow very quickly or strongly unless it rains. This is a nice place to fish or to rest on the rocky and sandy shore.

Ruined twoleg nest
Not too far away from the camp, is an old cottage. There is no furniture and it is fairly small. There is only three rooms, only a main room, bedroom, and bathroom. The roof is still intact so it is a nice place to take shelter.

Camp
The camp is an old, stone castle. It isn't giant. The castle has plenty of rooms and cats are allowed to sleep wherever they want. The only room cats are not allowed to sleep in is the Throne room. It is a room with a high ceiling and plenty of room. It is really only used in meetings. The halls are pretty narrow. The rooms are pretty large and there are windows, but it still feels closed in. Luckily for them, there is a small, grassy courtyard. It has a single tree and a well. The prey is gathered and placed in the storage room not too far away.

Traditions
-- Kits are born with wings. Feathered wings normally have down, fluffy, soft feathers, and can't fly. It depends which species of bird, but most have developed wings by five-six moons. Bat wings are proportional to the kit and grow as the kit grows. It takes time to build up the strength of their thumbs. Insect are similar to bat wings in that they are proportional to the cat's body.
   The kits, when their wings are mostly matured (6-7 moons), are to be brought to the throne room by their parents. The parents and kits will sit at the bottom of the steps. The leader will give the kits their new names and then call up the mentors. The leader will say this, "(warrior name) you have shown yourself a talented and dedicated warrior of this clan. Do you promise to take this apprentice under your wings and train them to the best of your ability?" Then the mentor will say, "I do." Then the new apprentice must walk away from their family and to the mentor. They will touch noses and then sit next to each other.

-- Apprentices, after their assessments, have to travel to the sky cave with the medicine cat at sun fall. There they will sleep to meet with StarClan and then wake at dawn. A glowing star should appear on their forehead as a sign that StarClan has blessed them. 
  On the way back, they are expected not to fly and to silently walk back. This is their version of a vigil.
  When they come back, the clan will gather in the throne room with the apprentice waiting silently at the doors. A small aisle will be made for the apprentice to walk down. The mentor and leader will be standing side by side on the top of the steps. Once the apprentice makes their way up the steps. The mentor will lick the apprentice's shoulder then go sit down with the rest of the cats. The apprentice is then suppose to recite these words, "I will protect the clan with my life until my last breath. I will use my claws and teeth only for my enemies, and never against my clanmates. I will never forget the warrior code and live under it for the rest of my life." Then the leader will touch the star mark. It should disappear and then the leader will announce the apprentice's name.
   A small celebration is then held until the moon is high into the air. Then the clan sleeps.

-- The throne room is only used for clan meetings and ceremonies. It is tradition that the leader stands in font of the throne rather than in it. Standing or siting in the throne is considered taboo and would bring bad luck. Most others can sit where they please.

Allegiances
L e a d e r
Dawnstar -- Female -- Barn owl wings
Dawnstar is bright and soft. Her legs, belly, neck, and muzzle are a pure white, which is called mask and mantle. It makes walking and staying clean hard, but she doesn't really mind. The rest of her fur is shades of browns and speckles of black, which is easier to deal with. Her eyes are a light baby blue. Her wings are also bright white underneath and on the secondary and primary feathers, but have a golden brown color with black speckles on the top portion of the wing. They closely resemble a barn owls. Her wings still have the soft feathers that make her flights silent. Funny fact, Dawnstar's wings are kinda large and heavy, which trips her up. She has learned to deal with it, but this causes her to drag her wings along on bad days. As stated before, she has no problem with dirt. She considers it a good sign of a working cat. She isn't afraid to get into the mess and work things out. She has enough determination and energy to power a could more cats. This does mean she tends to jump right in though. Being patient was never one of her strong traits and never really had a place in her life. This may also play her in habit of quickly judging a cat as well. Her mind does change as she gets to know, but will be reluctant if her first impression wasn't good.

Snowfall -- Female -- Long angelic wings, like a snow owls
Snowfall is a pure white she-cat with icy blue eyes. She's somewhat small and her eyes are her most striking feature, even if they make her seem cold and distant. Her fur is thick, almost as if she was made to live in cooler climates, and her tail is rather long and feathery to provide warmth. Her nose, pawpads, and inner ears are a rosy pink. A scar is seen just above her nose and another across her left cheek. Snowfall, unlike most might want to believe, is a soft-spoken and caring feline, in addition to being stubborn, determined, feisty, and sassy at times. Her voice is gentle and melodious, soothing, even. Although she means good, sometimes Snowfall will put her life at risk to protect others. To add on, she's often found not trusting others easily, obsesses over things, is gullible to an extent, and is very indecisive over certain topics.

Cloudface -- Male -- Bee wings
Cloudface is not white. He got his name for his fluffy, yet short fur. He actually has a brown, classic tabby pattern. Cloudface looks closest to a Manx with longer back legs than front and a round face. Despite his oddly long back legs, he is normally shorter than most toms his age. His face is round as well as his eyes and cheeks. It gives him a rather shocked appearance. His eyes are a golden-amber color. He actually has four wings, two larger wings infront of two smaller wings. His wings are mostly transparent with a yellow tint. Cloudface is a brilliant jumper and hunter with how his legs are. He normally doesn't use his wings and prefers to run most places. Cloudface is very loyal to both his clan and to the cats near to him. He believes in the leader and follows almost blindly. He is a big warrior code follower, even if he can be playful. He likes to race and play in the water in his free time. Sometimes he will take thing to far, in his teasing or playing, and accidentally hurt someone. He is unaware of his strength or power of his words.

Nightchaser -- Male -- Bat wings
Nightchaser is a large part Oriental and has smaller parts of Russian blue and Siamese. There are some kittypet roots in his blood. His grandmother mated with a tom, who was pure oriental and was moving across the country with his twolegs.

His fur is a dark slate color and his fur is short and thin. His eyes are two different colors, one is a pale green and the other is a bright, clear sea blue. Nightchaser is a loner. He enjoys the quiet and peace of being alone. At least that is what he seems like. He is still shy and a bit nervous around cats he doesn't know. Around cats that he does know, he is still quiet but a lot more clingy, talkative, and emotive. He loves to explore on his own to find odd things the twolegs have left behind. He also likes to question thinks and has a habit of overthinking. Nightchaser has been told he is too cautious or a coward, which can be true at times. While he does like to find out about things, he often will shrink away from a heated conversation or from a dark cave.

Hailfrost's eyes are a strikingly pure icy blue color, and are usually something most tend to notice first.

Ravenfur -- Female -- Raven wings
Ravenfur is a black short-haired she cat with ice blue eyes. She has raven wings, which she likes to keep shiny and clean. She is smaller than most cats, but makes up for it in her huge personality. She is very talkative, and loves playing with the apprentices and kits. She prefers flying over walking, and flies almost everywhere. She is fast and somewhat agile when in the air, but not so much on the ground. She is a good hunter, and dives from high up in the air to catch her prey by surprise. She isn't much of a fighter, though, because of her small size and muscles. She wants to have kits someday in the future, once she finds the right mate.

Swallowpaw -- male -- eagle wings
Lean and built, Swallowpaw has strong limbs and thick fur. Its a light grey-blue shade, and atop his head sit two large, triangular ears, with small tufts protruding from them. His tail is long and fluffier than himself, which makes him a deadly opponent within the sky and on the ground. There are tufts at the end of his tail which seem to fork out, almost like a swallows tail. He's very calm and relaxed and can keep his cool under pressure. He's awfully cocky at times and will not back down easily. He lives for adrenaline and adventure, something most scold him for, as it gets him into trouble at times. Although he loves having close friends, he doesn't appear to be extremely interested in forming a relationship with another cat, regardless of gender.

Bearpaw -- male -- Kori Bustard wings
Bearpaw is, no surprise, big. He isn't tall, but just big and fluffy. He likes the first part, not the second. This apprentice's legs are stout and his body is boxy. Also his muzzle is slightly shorter than the normal. But what is odd is his folded ears. His fur is a light caramel brown and he has white toes and tail tip. His tail, muzzle, ears, and legs are a darker brown that fades into his base color. His eyes are a golden amber color. Bearpaw is adventurous at times, but really only when others want to. He doesn't really like being alone and can be quite clingy. Despite this fact, he tends to be very straightforward and not like to sugarcoat things, which can set other cats off if they don't like reality. He is very much the voice of reason and has a strange ability to stay calm in most situations. This does not count any time someone sneaks up on him or something amazing happens. He can get pretty angry and grumpy, or excited and vocal, depending on the event. He can be easily persuaded into most anything, as long as it doesn't break the warrior code. Even then, he doesn't put up a fight.

Redpaw -- Male -- Parrot wings
He is a muscular, pure white cat with gray eyes. He has red wings with some blue green and yellow edges. He is much more bland than his cousin, lacking Bluepaw's silver tabby stripes, but Redpaw does have some gray spots on his legs and muzzle. He isn't exactly the brains of the family, but is very passionate about fighting and hunting and is very determined. He doesn't take jokes very well because of how easily fired up he is.
