Clans

*Within the Warrior universe, the cats live in a highly structured society that is firmly divided into five groups known as Clans. On AnimalJam, fans of the series and people who like to roleplay have banded together to create their own Clans, most loosely based on the Warriors series.*

## **Clans Based On The Books**

**\*ThunderClan**: "*There is no Clan is the forest so true or so brave. I respect and admire the other Clans, but my heart is here, with ThunderClan- the Clans of heroes, the Clan of compassion, the Clan of destiny.*" ThunderClan is a mainly peaceful Clan, respectful of the  other Clans as well. In battle, ThunderClan is fierce, courageous, and loyal. They normally take in loners and kittypets into their Clan to either swell their ranks because the cat is in need of help or shelter. For this, they are at times looked down upon by other Clans and thought of as weak. The Clan's main prey are mice, voles, squirrels, and the occasional rabbit, as well as birdds such as starlings, magpies, wood pigeons, blackbirds, and thrushes. They have excellent stalking techniques, creeping across the forest floor. They have the sense to keep upwind of their prey in the thick bushes. ThunderClan cats are noted to be especially strong. They are the only Clan to bunch their hindquarters before leaping to catch their prey.

**\*ShadowClan: "***Few are welcome here, in our world of secrets and darkness, We are a Clan of cunning and cleverness, a Clan well suited to the shadows of the cold north wind. No other Clan can walk the paths of night like we do. Other Clans may be faster or stronger, but we are the most dangerous warriors: fierce, proud, and independent. We are ruthlessly willing to do what it takes to protect out great Clan. There won't be any softhearted alliances here! ShadowClan will always be the dark heart of the forest*." ShadowClan is a group of cats that live in the marshlands of the forest. Their founding leader, Shadow, had gotten her name from the silent way she hunted at night, so the extension of the name  was thought to be given to the Clan.

**\*RiverClan:** "*Nothing can stand against the force of water, just as nothing can defeat RiverClan warriors when we rise up together, But when trouble comes, RiverClan knows how to weave through the dangers, adapting to the changed world, just as the river flows around the rocks and over waterfalls. We are grace. We are power. We are RiverClan.* RiverClan is a group of cats that live in a part of the forest that is primarily wetland, or shores of lakes/rivers/streams. The founding leader, River, got his name from moving through the forest like the graceful river, so by extension the name was thought to be given to the Clan.

**\*WindClan: "***We are the closest Clan to StarClan, spiritually and physically, and we always know our warrior ancestors are watching over us. That is what makes us strong. No matter what trials we must endure, WindClan will last forever.*" WindClan is a group of cats that live primarily on the open moors. The founder leader, Wind, or Wind Runner, got her name from being able to run as fast as the wind, so by extension the name was thought to be given to the Clan.

**\*SkyClan:** "*SkyClan's destiny is that we will never live in isolation from other felines. We're not like the forest Clans; we can't shut ourselves off the entirely from kitty pets and rogues. And visitors will be welcome.*" SkyClan is a group of cats that live in a gorge with rocky cliffs, that zig-zag down to the base. The founding leader, Sky, got his name from being able to jump far and high, so by extension the name was thought to be given to the Clan.

We are BLOODCLAN!* " BloodClan is a dangerous group of cats made up of feral cats from the TwoLeg Place.

**\*TigerClan:** TigerClan was one of the three great Clans, along with LionClan and LeopardClan, that resided in the forest before the current Clans, ShadowClan, ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan, and SkyClan. They were told to be flame-colored night hunters, large as horses with jet-black stripes and the darkness of night in their souls.

**\*StarClan:** "*I am LionHeart. I was a ThunderClan warrior. In a fierce battle, I died defending my Clan. Now I belong to StarClan, a Clan of the spirits of out warrior ancestors. Yes, you are dreaming. We often walk in the dreams of those we watch. Don't be afraid. I know it looks like a land of mist and shadow, but I promise there is enough light to warm the darkest of hearts. From here, we watch over the Clans we have left behind.*" StarClan are the deceased warrior ancestors of the Clans who live on in spirit form after dying, and watch over the living Clan cats. There is no specific leader for StarClan, since there are many cats from all four Clans that work together. They are responsible for sending signs and omens to the living cats.

**\*LionClan: "***Our Clans will join together like a lion to fight the tiger who prowls our forest.* " LionClan was formed by FireStar and TallStar joining their Clans, ThunderClan and WindClan, together to battle TigerClan (RiverClan and ShadowClan) for their right in the forest. Later, all four Clans joined together as LionClan to fight against BloodClan. LionClan was led by FireStar into battle, though none of the leaders took complete control of the joined Clan.
