SunClan

SunClan was started by Sunstar, a usually quiet and introverted cat but also bold and intelligent whose name used to be Sunny. He had one sister named Dawn and they lived together with twolegs. However, one day, his twolegs had gotten a dog who was ferocious. They couldn't stand the dog, so they had run away from the house.

After ending up in the forest, they met a group of cats who had been hiding from foxes and wolves. Sunny and Dawn had talked to these cats and wanted to join them. However, the leader, Sea, wondered if they would be good enough for their group, since they were kittypets. Sunny said he wanted to be trained, though, and Dawn had agreed. Sea then decided to let them in and became their mentor.

When the foxes came, Sunny said they all needed to partner up and hunt down those creatures themselves. Sea hadn't agreed at first, but after her brother, Furry, said otherwise, they had fought. And miraculously, they won using Sunny's battle plan. When the wolves came, Sunny helped the cats win using his battle plans, too. Sea revoked her own leadership and deemed Sunny as the new leader since he was a much better leader than her.

## Pre-Creation

Sunny and Dawn were siblings and they had loving twolegs. They had liked being kittypets since their parents and grandparents had been one, too.

However, one day, their twolegs had gotten a dog. The dog was ferocious and loved chasing the two cats down whenever he had a chance. He always barked at night since he was forced to sleep on the floor on a dog bed while Sunny and Dawn got to sleep on the twolegs. Sunny and Dawn had tried to signal to their twolegs that they hated the dog but they didn't seem to understand and said they should get along.

Finally, the two of them decided to run away since they couldn't stand it anymore. They were thirteen moons old at this time. They had left the city and wandered into the forest by this time and couldn't tell where to go next, until they saw a small group of cats hiding.

After talking to these cats, the cats confessed they had been hiding from foxes and wolves who had been fighting them and even killing a few of them and stealing their prey. One of those cats was named Sea, a very tough she-cat who was deemed the leader of the group.

Sea had asked Sunny and Dawn if they were suffering from these problems, too. Sunny had said he didn't know what foxes and wolves were until they told him about it. Dawn had agreed with her brother saying they had humans protecting them until they had brought a dog into their home, which was why they ran away. This had made Sea a bit wary about them, since she didn't think they could even survive in the forest, much less hunt or fight.

But then Sunny asked them if he could learn how to survive in the forest and learn necessary skills to do so and help them. Dawn said she wanted to learn, too. Sea had thought about it and finally accepted, and decided to become their mentor. Sunny and Dawn were very interested in the training and never backed out of it once.

A few moons later, Sunny and Dawn were equipped with some basic skills, but they had seen their first danger. A band of five-six foxes had appeared, and were trying to steal the prey until Sunny had realized there were many more cats than foxes. He then told Sea that they should defend themselves and not succumb to them any longer. Sea had gotten angry at him, but her brother, Furry, had agreed to this idea. "We can't keep running away forever, can we, Sea? This cat is saying the right thing! How hadn't we thought of it before or how hadn't we been brave enough?" he had said. Sea had a bit of trouble accepting this but she listened to her brother and told the cats to fight against the foxes with all the anger and strength they could muster.

Sunny told the cats to try and take out one at a time and for many cats to gang up on one while the other cats distracted the other foxes. This made fighting them easy, as the foxes were already outnumbered.

After some tough fighting, the foxes had learned their lesson and ran away. There were no casualties on either side. After the fight, the cats cheered for Sunny, as he had fought well and came up with a good battle plan. They thought it was a miracle. Their leader, Sea, had decided to put her trust in Sunny the next time something happened. One cat who knew about medicine and deemed the healer for the group, Sky, had said she saw the cats didn't get very hurt, just a few bruises and superficial cuts and claw marks here and there, and the only blood she saw was of the foxes.

A moon later, the wolves seemingly learned of the foxes' defeat and decided to bring all of their adult wolves with them. There were almost the same number of wolves as there were cats. Sea had been worried, as wolves were very ferocious and much worse and wilder than domesticated dogs. Dawn had told her the full story about the dog they had in their home, however and how they tried to handle it, so she didn't feel *too* scared.

Sunny then told her right after the wolves came, that when their twoleg had a leash attached to the dog's collar and he pulled on it when it was trying to bite at other twolegs and such, the dog had pulled back and even coughed. Sea had nodded, but since the wolves didn't have leashes or collars of any sort, she didn't see how that was very helpful, until Sunny had swiped at a wolf's neck and the wolf pulled back from fighting.

Sunny had told his battle plan to the other cats, while also telling them to use his other battle plan from before. When they tried to fight them, two-three cats had jumped on a wolf's back and tried to slash their necks. Since the wolves were slightly bigger, they had tried to go underneath and unbalance their legs, making them fall and become easy targets. The wolves had managed to do some damage, though. They had bit Furry and tore off some flesh from his hind leg, and another had slashed another cat's chest, but not too deep. Sky had tended to them before something worse happened to them, though.

But they finally managed to fight the wolves off and the wolves ran off either limping or feeling great pain from some place in their body. Since Sunny had helped them fight off all the wolves, Sea had great pride in him. She had realized she wasn't a great leader compared to Sunny who had defended them using various ways. Sky had told Sea about Sunny being a great fighter even though he used to be a kittypet, and that he had the battle spirit in him.

So when the cats were eating and living in newfound safety due to their victories, Sea had announced to the group that she revoked her leadership and decided to give it to Sunny, since he was a hero to the cats. All the cats had agreed and cheered for Sunny. Dawn had a lot of pride for him, too.

A few days after he became leader, he decided that they should teach the younger cats how to hunt and fight as well, and gave them mentors, thus making the cats apprentices. A young tom named Tree (he was nine moons old) said he was more interested in medicine and Sunny asked Sky to teach him medicine. She was happy to do so, as she was the only cat who knew medicine. Sunny and Dawn took the job of mentoring Furry's kits, Flea and Rose who were seven moons old.

## Creation

A few more moons had passed after Sunny became the new leader. He and Dawn were now twenty moons old. The foxes had come back, but Sunny knew what to do. His sister wanted to help make a decision, too. She had suggested they search for the fox den and teach them a lesson there. She didn't want to drive them out, though, but to fight with them there so that they know how strong them cats were and wouldn't try picking a fight again. Sunny had thought about this idea and tried to think of the pros and cons. He decided there were more pros than cons and agreed with her idea.

After they had dealt with the foxes, they had stealthily followed them. There was a whole skulk of foxes, and there were baby ones, too. The foxes all looked angry, but they were still widely outnumbered as some young cats became full warriors. Sunny had learned a lot of hunting and fighting moves and came up with some of them, too. He had taught them to the rest of the cats. Dawn was his right-hand.

"Hey, all of you, try not to kill any foxes, but give them a message!" had said Sunny, and immediately launched into battle. They didn't attack the fox kits, only the adults. But the kits got scared and hid deeper in their dens. Finally the foxes gave up and ran back into their dens looking defeated. The cats had cheered for Sunny, as he led them perfectly and Dawn, as she thought of the idea, and secured yet another victory.

The cats managed to live in peace yet again. They started having mates and even kits together. Sea had said that this used to just be a scramble of scared cats who happened to find each other, but now they were actually functioning together and had become a good, cooperative group.
