From here, the two are sent off on a journey guided by a medicine cat to find some faith in themselves.
world
Being a rouge or kittypet is not as criticized. Times have changed and a lot of rules have relaxed. There is not much clan conflict except from personal dramas, petty border skirmishes or conflict with nature (predators, storms, Twolegs being annoying). Their clans exist close to Twolegs and occassionally utilize resources from them; they understand transportation like boats, bridges and trains. Cats can communicate with other animals if those animals understand them too.
Until I draw proper refs for everyone, ive used felidaze-felidform's picrew to visualize the cast!
coming soon
When completed, the gallery will consist of art, animations and writing I have done.
cast
Wrenpaw of Skyclan and Rustedpaw of Shadowclan
Wrenpaw is a very anxious long-furred she-cat who can't handle being in the spotlight. She was a kit when her and Adderfang arrived at the clans and is under the mentorship of Jaytalon. She is 16 moons old.
Rustedpaw is extremely gloomy, paranoid and aimless. Once a prodigy, the tom regressed into a depressed, neurotic and frantic tom that his clannmates have started to give up on. He is 18 moons old.
Jaytalon is Wrenpaw's mentor. Jaytalon is quite vocal about his frustrations with Wrenpaw given he never let his disabilities, background (son of kittypets) or anxiety keep him from doing his best. He finds himself annoyed with her resistance since he knows how talented the young she-cat is. He's a bit of an asshole, but says its tough love and for Wrenpaw's best.
Lightbreeze is Rustedpaw's mentor. Lightbreeze is very supportive and kind to Rustedpaw, no matter the quality of his hunting or battling. He tends to stay at Rustedpaw's side, or allow the tom to accompany him so Rustedpaw isn't isolating himself in the apprentice’s den, or being dragged onto solo hunts with his father, Ivystrike. He's very airheaded and ditzy, which foils Rustedpaw's gloomy demeanor.
Nightflurry is the little brother of Jaytalon, and best friend of Wrenpaw. He's goofy and promiscuous, getting a kick out of annoying his older brother and clannmates. He's not the most honorable warrior, but he's pretty good at what he does do (when he decides to do it). Nightflurry loves to hang out with Wrenpaw and keep her head up as she deals with her mother and Jaytalon's pressure.
Badgerstorm is the best friend of Lightbreeze and a notable warrior of Shadowclan. He is in line to become deputy and aids Lightbreeze in mentoring Rustedpaw due to the difficulties the young tom has. He's pretty cutthroat, deadpan and intimidating, at least until he gets around Nightflurry. These two are in love with eachother and constantly sneak out of their clans to fuck.
Adderfang is Wrenpaw's mother. Adderfang was pregnant with Wrenpaw when Skyclan came to her rescue as she was found on the border being ambushed by a fox. She was then made a warrior in the clans and gave birth to Wrenpaw. Adderfang is skilled in battle, which is what quickly made her a valued warrior of Skyclan. She's highly respected despite chronic illnesses and PTSD. However due to her health deteriorating, Adderfang was instructed to spend time in camp instead. After kitting Wrenpaw, Adderfang did not allow Wrenpaw to go to the apprentice's den until she was 8 moons old, nor leave the confines of camp. Despite this, she's always urged Wrenpaw to strive for greatness, as the entire clan sees it in her. She makes sure they all know Wrenpaw is sent from Starclan and is part of the prophecy.
Ivystrike is Rustedpaw's father. Ivystrike is deputy of Shadowclan and incredibly charismatic and tactical. He gets annoyed when he sees his fellow clanmates slacking, well, unless he likes them...then it's alright. He stays on task and respects his leader a lot, and wants his son to either find his connection to Starclan or follow in his paws. Ivystrike coddles Rustedpaw a bit, and sometimes a little too much. He's been scolded by the leader for not giving the young tom breathing room at times.
Branchstar of Skyclan is pretty laid back. They're pretty diplomatic and encouraging to all clanmates, and in some clanmates eyes, they're too soft. Branchstar avoid disciplining warriors at all costs unless necessary, having remembered their days of being a bit a pain in the ass and a hot mess.
Toadstar of Shadowclan is very friendly and grounded in her beliefs. She takes being a leader seriously, but overall has good humor finds ambitious warriors inspiring. She really loves frogs and toads, and has one she keeps in camp and bans anyone from even thinking of eating.
Branchstar and Toadstar consider eachother friends, as they were very close before ascending to leadership.
Swallowshard is an elder Medicine Cat from Riverclan. Swallowshard offered to take Wrenpaw and Rustedpaw on a retreat after hearing of their plights from the mini-meet conducted by Branchstar. Overall, Swalloshard is down-to-earth, wise and open-minded. She is a natural safe space and perfect guide for her dysregulated mentees.
