Lavenderclan

Lavenderclan is the first and the largest reigning clan out of the two, created by Lavenderstar in hopes of making a clan of peace and justice.

## Information

The clan lives in a gorge surrounded by forest and a nearby lake. Their camp is primarily based of bramble dens, except the leader's and medicine cat's den, which is composed in a small cave big enough for a few cats to enter or sleep inside. The top of the leader's den is a stone overhanging that is used for meetings and refereed to as Mossy Ledge, and the deputy usually sits to the side of the rock during meetings. The clan's diet consists of small rodents, birds, and rarely fish, and are very agile and much more talkative to each-other than the other clans are. They take pride in training their apprentices and raising their kits, and are seen as the more noble and passive clan out of the others. They have been have been known to be against combat and battle most of the time, and would rather sort their way out through words than with claw and tooth. Lavenderclan is most notably recognized for their mixed shades in pelt color that differs from most other clans and how majority of their cats are more agile in forests than most of the other clans are deemed.

## Founding and Backstory

In the founding of Lavenderclan, many rouges, loners, and kittypets joined in hopes of a brighter future, promise of safety, or even to be part of a vast group. Their numbers grew wildly, and quickly became a large and organized clan under Lavenderstar's leadership, though still dealt with outside cats and Twoleg sightings on their territory more than as regularly seen as the clan grew in size.

At the start of the clan's growth, Lavenderstar chose Hawkpelt, a former loner who joined Lavenderclan with his expecting mate, for his determination and his calmness towards his clanmates, though still dealt with the absence of a medicine cat. Lavenderstar had a prophecy of a future medicine cat for the clan, which was fulfilled with the arival of three cats with knowledge in herbs and healing. A few moons later, the birth of Hawkpelt's four kits brought joy and celebration to the clan with future apprentices, and the arrival of new cats.

As the clan's first leaf-bare approached, prey started to become oddly scarcer than usual, and majority of the prey hunted was either extremely scrawny or there was no in sight, leading to a major hunting spot to become abandoned due to the loss of prey in the area. Later on, a dog attack hit the clan, leading to the loss of Lavenderstar's first life, though the dogs were quickly driven away from the territory. With the absence of prey, the clan started to become more defensive as rogues and loners were constantly hunting what remaining prey was left in the territory, though majority of the clan was still well fed despite these issues arising.

Rockclaw, a former clan-member of Lavenderclan organized a small fight between the clan and a few of his supporters, ending with Rockclaw leaving Lavenderclan and starting Rockclan with multiple of his supporters from the battle, the fight costing Lavenderstar two of her lives.

Currently, the clan is in leaf-bare, and tensions are starting to rise as the impending arrival of a new clan sparks fear and competition for prey and potentially Lavenderclan territory loss.
