DeerClan

*"DeerClan is a fake Clan, made by a group of loners desperate for attention. Pebblestar's lives were given out of sympathy. She'll face her downfall soon, that's the justice she deserves."*

## Clan Information

### List of Residents

List of all cats

**DeerClan** is a group of cats that live in a primarily sycamore and oak forest, with a tunnel system similar to NeedleClan's. They took on abandoned NeedleClan territory after the death of Deer, where Pebblestar called it home of DeerClan. Due to the Clan being mostly NeedleClan blood, they are able to see in the dark, and well at night.

## Description

DeerClan is independent and fierce, often known to shelter murderers such as Fatekeeper, Shadefeather, Squirreltuft, and others. It is sometimes seen as a false Clan in the eyes of many other Clan cats, due to it being founded by a rogue that lived in Fatekeeper's group, Deer. Despite this, DeerClan often dismisses this, often being prideful and dedicated to themselves and often their kin. Their prey is similar to NeedleClan's, though the chances of catching moles are much smaller. They are also primarily land hunters and can climb trees much easier than NeedleClan cats could.

## Territory

DeerClan lives in a sunny and flower-filled oak-and-sycamore forest. Landmarks in this territory include:

* **Camp:** A large ravine in the middle of the forest, formerly used as a training hollow. Some parts of the camp are underground, such as most of the dens and the tunnels connected to it, while some remain unsheltered, such as the clearing itself, of which is scattered by small rocks, and the Oak Rock itself.
* **The Collapsed Tunnels:** Similar to NeedleClan, there was a tunnel system connected to DeerClan's camp that was ruined by the Great Flood. Currently, these tunnels are rarely used, occasionally for hunting.
* **Abandoned Fox Den:** Formerly a den used for foxes, of which being the main cause NeedleClan had abandoned this territory, now abandoned. Used mainly for shelter when a cat is unable to return to their camp or home in time. Stocked with flowers and moss.
* **The Grassy Clearing:** Formerly owned by rogue group leader Ripley, the grassy clearing is a particularly sunny patch of grass sheltered by trees surrounding it. There is a large hole dug out in the ground, dug out by Ripley and Blaster for their primary den. Now it is abandoned, however it is still supplied with herbs, bones, and prizes from prey, such as feathers, talons, and teeth.
* **The Flower Field:** A sunny field filled with several different kinds of flowers, connected to the grassy clearing. Used for gazing at the moon or sitting in the sun, or overall rolling in the flowers, rather than for hunting. Seen as a peaceful and calm spot.
* **The Sun-drown Place:** A beach where the sun drowns into the water, revealing the night sky. Similar to the flower field, it is used for sights of the horizon or just to chat.
* **The Tents:** A group of tents right near the grassy clearing that are pulled out every greenleaf. Twolegs tend to occupy these tents.

The camp has rocks scattered around the clearing, giving kits a fun place to play around. There are flowers in some of the corners of the camp, along with moss dangling from the top of the ravine, being around a tail length tall maximum. The sunlight filters into the camp strongly.

## Eras

### Pebblestar

Prior to Pebblestar being leader of the Clan, it was a group known as Fatekeeper's group, owned by Fatekeeper himself, and his mate, Deer. However, since the death of Deer, Pebbletrail became leader of the Clan to fulfill her mother's wishes, and tried to kick out her father, only reluctantly letting him stay. Pebblestar had not chosen a deputy, however her medicine cats were Subzero and Brittlebranch. She had lead for as long as she could live, fulfilling a happy life with her mate, Subzero, who had stepped in as a medicine cat when DeerClan needed it most. She eventually was killed after having her stomach ripped open by Ivyshadow. Subzero had chosen Sunspeckle to step in as leader in her place.

### Sunstar

Sunstar is the current leader of DeerClan. She had not chosen a deputy yet, but her medicine cat is Brittlebranch.
