## History

SavageClan is first referenced in the combined backstories of Skyrose and Snowthistle, and is created entirely by their roleplayer, Sun.

*Bloodiedstar's Reign*

Skykit is born alongside her sister, Whisperingkit, into SavageClan, where the conditions are described as; "harsh and grueling." When she was 4 moons old, she was forced to take part in the Duel for Life, where she was made to kill her younger sister. Grieving harshly, she tried her best to live an as close to normal life as she could in the clan, growing to become Skyrose and becoming mates with a tom named Thornspike, when she later gave birth to a healthy litter of four kits, to be named Snowkit, Cloudkit, Hollykit, and Stormykit. Terrified for their future, she made an attempt to steal her kits away from the clan, only to be betrayed by her mate Thornspike. Bloodiedstar forced her litter to duel right then, and Skyrose was forcefully held back and made to watch the battle. When Snowkit and Stormykit, the last two kits standing refused to continue fighting, Bloodiedstar took Stormykit's life and deemed Snowkit the "winner." Skyrose, left shattered by the loss of her kits, fell into a deep depression, refusing to let cats interact with either her or her son. Thornspike later stole the kit from her and broke off their relationship for a new mate, and blinded by fury and betrayal, she blinded Thornspike and fled SavageClan, abandoning Snowkit to his new, broken family. Thornspike was later executed due to being deemed "useless" by Bloodiedstar, Snowkit was left to be raised by a cruel and abusive molly that was Thornspike's new mate. For ten moons he grew up in the clan, slowly climbing the ranks all while filled with hatred over their practices. Bloodiedstar adored him and, when he was of age, Snowthistle used this trust to his advantage and challenged the leader to a fight in his den, killing the tom before fleeing the clan after his betrayal had been discovered.

*Vixenstar's Reign*

Vixenstar was Bloodiedstar's daughter. Furious about Snowthistle's betrayal and her father's death, Vixenstar is fueled by rage and hatred towards them, as well as later the Clan of Sunlit Prairies after realizing it exists.
