Outsiders

*The Outsiders are cats outside of Clans that live in The Valley, including loners, rogues, and kittypets.*

## Overview

As the name implies, outsiders are cats living outside of the six Clans. They are not bound by any rules, including the Warrior Code, which is why Clan cats typically frown upon their lifestyle. Outsiders reside in dens scattered throughout the territories unmarked by the Clans, which they have dubbed "neutral territory" and claimed as their hunting grounds. In the case that an outsider does stray into Clan land, though, they are usually found and removed. The option to join a Clan is always available, but most tend to reject it, especially older cats who were around at the time of the two rogue groups. "Outsider" is a rather broad term which some may even find offensive, cats outside the Clans are more commonly known by three different classifications: loners, rogues and kittypets.

## Loners

Loners are peaceful, neutral cats- don't disturb them and they will leave you alone. True to their name, they tend to be solitary. It is uncommon to find multiple loners sharing the same den, especially if they're not family or mates. They are taught how to hunt, fight and forage herbs from the loners who raised them, and while loners avoid trouble, it's not wise to anger one.

## Rogues

Rogues are definitely more aggressive. They are defensive of the little land they own, and are known to chase cats away from their dens like a Clan cat would. Though most rogues know how to hunt and collect herbs like any other outsider, they often prefer to steal resources from other cats instead. Rogues also disregard Clan borders, trespassing and picking fights whenever they please. If a cat leaves or is exiled from their Clan, they will usually become a rogue.

## Kittypets

Unlike rogues and loners, kittypets don't live in the wild, and are instead taken care of by twolegs. They call these twolegs their "housefolk", and some have even grown to love them like would their parents. Kittypets are typically good-natured and passive, unfamiliar with the ways of the savage wild cats. Many consider kittypets weak and cowardly, a belief stemming from how twolegs shelter and pamper them. An aggressive kittypet is not a rare sight, however, as they're usually rather large and well-fed.

## Notable Outsiders

### The Median

Bravetail was previously called "The Median" when she tried to take over the clans, per Sulfurstar's instructions. She was simply trying to protect her son, Sandkit.

Bravetail or The Median grew up as a rogue, although she made a den in the Moongarden. During her reign, she caused the imprisonment of ThunderClan and shunning of Icestar and Softweb. She appointed Widowstar as SkyClan's leader after the death of Darkstar, who had no deputy. Once Widowstar was overthrown, The Median revealed that Sulfurstar had manipulated her by claiming that the Clans would kill her kit, Sandkit, if she didn't reform them for him. She apologized for her actions, regretting them deeply, and expressed that she wished to live within the Clans.

### Trunk

Trunk was the first leader as well as the creator of the mighty BloodClan. Her successor was Shadow. She is one of the most notable outsiders, due to the fact that she created a Clan with nothing but fellow outsiders.

Trunk was a former RiverClan warrior who found the ways of a normal Clan to be too soft. She acted upon her distaste and ran away from RiverClan. A few cats joined her, loners, rogues. Soon Trunk had the makings of a group. It had no name yet. She recruited a few Clan cats that also found the ways of a Clan soft. They made camp beside the ThunderClan border. Trunk and her group lived there for about half a moon before Trunk and Shadow were trying to take some prey from Sunnygrove and Wingsoar. Both she-cats locked into battle with the warriors, but in the end, Trunk surrendered leaving Shadow furious, and was eventually murdered by the she-cat.
