BloodClan (Wolfnightmare16)

BloodClan was a traditional Clan that was most active in the summer of 2017. Many members that met in BloodClan are still close today, as the Clan had a homey feel to it. The Clan was founded by two friends who were clanmates in WindClan and friends in real life. The Clan had two leaders during it's run. The first and one of the founders of the Clan was Lightningstar (Tragicallyinsane/Wolfnightmare16). The second and last leader, who only led for about 3 weeks before disbanding the Clan, was Nightstar (Dreamsrealm).
==History==
When Wolfnightname16 had been exiled from her previous Clan, WindClan, for disrespect, she told her friend Inferno589 about it. He stayed in the Clan for a bit after she was exiled, but then the two started talking about creating a traditional clan when he wasn't busy roleplaying. Inferno left WindClan and proposed the name of Scourge's infamous gang of ruffians; BloodClan. Wolf loved the idea, and so the Clan was born, with Wolf as the leader and Inferno as the deputy.
So, they made their page on Animal Jam Clans Wiki, where they got help from a friendly coder named JaySilhouette with their page. When all the coding was done, they recruited in Sarepia Forest, getting advice from the leader of WindClan, who helped guide them on their way. However, it wasn't exactly convenient as she'd sometimes butt in during busy times. As Jammer8hzmy7 stated to her once, "Marshy we don't need a lifeboat, we can swim"
The Clan ended up growing to be a bit small, averaging around 10 members, but it was very active. There were usually daily roleplay sessions and about 4 or 5 people would attend. The sessions would last about an hour or longer.
BloodClan didn't really interact with many Clans, with about only 3 or 4 alliances, so it was just their little group with no problems. Well that was the case until one day, Souleaterlover505 accidentally stumbled on FireClan (Tessabird)'s territory while searching for a server to train his apprentice as their initial territory was filled. This caused the Leader to have a bit of a hostile discussion with Wolfnightmare16.
When that fiasco was over, things returned back to normal. But about a month or so later, Souleaterlover505 left BloodClan and created his own clan called ShadeClan. This was a problem because the friends he made in BloodClan (About 5 people) began to flock over to them. This did some heavy damage on BloodClan's member count (Which had reached 15) as 1/3 of the Clan had left. But due to the Leader being her own apprentice and friend, Wolfnightmare16 requested an alliance which was accepted. The two Clans had a good relationship with each other for a while. But the same couldn't be said for Lightningstar's brother's Clan, DarkClan.
Towards the beginning of summer, BloodClan managed to recover from its loss as it had a sudden spike in recruits, averaging around 17 members.
About 1 month or so later, ShadeClan declared war on DarkClan, the reason forgotten. BloodClan, at first, decided to side with DarkClan but ended up going neutral and just watching the event unfold. This little quarrel did help BloodClan though as they managed to ally with FireClan, one of the strongest Clans at the time.
Later on, the Crimsonpelt left the Clan which left the deputy position open. Meanwhile, Kawaiistrawberries13 was complaining about the to-be deputy, Redstone, to ShadeClan. For some reason, ShadeClan took this personally and attacked BloodClan. BloodClan won and Kawaiistrawberries left BloodClan and joined ShadeClan. Alas, causing BloodClan and ShadeClan to end their alliance.
BloodClan had a lifespan of about 6 months but drastically decreased in activity towards the last 2 months. Despite her multiple attempts, Wolf was unable to revive the activity. So around August 19, 2017, she decided to resign her role as Leader and left the Clan, leaving it in the hands of the deputy, Nightshade.
Nightstar had led the clan for about 3 weeks before she, too, gave up on the Clan and disbanded it.
