Lightningclan

**Lightningclan** is a group of cats that live in a part of the forest that is primary deciduous woodland. Before the birth of Lightningstar, they was the Thunderclan. The last Thunderclan's leader and first Lightningclan's leader decide to change his clan's name in tribute to Lightningstar, the best leader that the clan never had.

## Description

Lightningclan is a mainly peaceful Clan, and respectful of the other Clans as well. In battle, Lightningclan is fierce, courageous, and loyal. They are known to often take loners and kittypets into their Clan to either swell their ranks or because the cat is in need of help or shelter, although this did not happen much until Firestar became leader of Thunderclan. For this, they are at times looked down upon by other Clans and thought of as weak. The Clan's main prey are mice, voles, squirrels, and the occasional rabbit, as well as birds such as starlings, magpies, wood pigeons, blackbirds, and thrushes. They have excellent stalking techniques, creeping across the forest floor. They have the sense to keep upwind of their prey in the thick bushes. Lightningclan cats are noted to be especially strong. They are the only Clan to bunch their hindquarters before leaping to catch their prey. They are always like their ancestors, members of Thunderclan.

## Territory

The lake territory for Lightningclan is called the Hare Hill Woods by Twolegs. Twoleg landmarks nearby include the Hareview Campsite, Abandoned Workman's House, Quarry Road, and the Quarry. Landmarks here include:
* **Camp** - The camp is well protected by the side of a cliff, and surrounded by a thorn barrier.
* **Greenleaf Twolegplace** - This part of land was given to Shadowclan until Thunderclan fought for it back, but there is no prey in this part of the territory, so Darknessclan and Lightningclan share this part.
* **An abandoned Twoleg nest** - Herbs and prey thrive here, though it has an ominous feeling inside.
* **Ancient Oak**- An ancient oak where squirrels love to call home. It also has an old rabbit burrow inside. It‘s where Lighningclan apprentices practice their climbing skills.
* **Old Thunderpath** - Marked with blue Twoleg markers, cats often stay away from this road.
* **The clearing** - A training hollow much like the old sandy hollow in the forest territory.
* **Lake shore** - Lightningclan has the north-eastern portion of the lake.

At the bottom of an old cliff, this camp is very well protected. The walls around the camp are smooth, indicating Twolegs cut this place moons ago. The cliffs also help keep out the wind. A thorn barrier guards the camp; any cat that wants to come in has to get past. A ledge peeks out from the cliff. That is the Highledge where the leader speaks. A cave near the top is the leader's den. The apprentice's den is also a cave in the rocks while the warrior den is under a big thornbush. The medicine cat's den is another cave, but this time hidden by bramble tendrils. Like the previous camp, the nursery is highly guarded, and under a big bramble thicket reinforced with thick roots woven together for protection. Lastly, the elder's den is in a hazel bush, and later rebuilt under the boughs of a beech tree and reinforced with honeysuckle.
