## History

Long ago, the four original Clans (ThunderClan, ShadowClan, WindClan and RiverClan) disbanded due to unknown reasons, with most forgetting their warrior heritage and lifestyle. However, StarClan was not completely forgotten, some remained and knew they had to bring the Clans back before StarClan was forever forgotten. They found four cats, Sun, Lichen, Ash and Moon who bore the bloodlines of the other Clans, although they were mixed. Sun had ancestors from ThunderClan and WindClan, Lichen from ShadowClan and RiverClan, Ash from ShadowClan and ThunderClan and Moon from WindClan and RiverClan. They eventually taught these cats the warrior code and helped them to build their Clans which have been strong for countless seasons.

Ash was a bold, ferocious tabby tom. He was a former rouge who was very aggressive, and originally against the forming of the Clans until he fell in love with a loner she-cat who encouraged him to create AshClan. His first medicine cat was his sister Berryflight who left her kittypet life to join AshClan with her brothers.
