Logan

- Logheart (NightClan codename)

- Sapphire (former trainee)

- Cherry (former trainee)

## Description

Logan, sometimes known for short as L, is the latest Healer of BloodClan and formerly roleplayed by Astralium on Scratch before the dispersion of the roleplay and Ast's eventual permaban. He is described to be a caramel-brown furred tom with dark turquoise eyes, a dark turquoise collar\* studded with various animal teeth, and dog-teeth reinforced claws\*.

## Backstory

Before the roleplay took place, Logan was a kit and lived with Twolegs. He is said to have a sister whose name is confirmed by Astralium to be Lucy. His Twolegs abandoned him when he was only two moons old, forcing him to learn to heal himself of the constant cuts and scrapes he'd receive, and eventually be initiated into BloodClan.

## Roleplay Story Arc

Logan's original personality was "dark and sadistic to everyone except the ones he trusts", which ends up changing drastically as his character was developed. He starts out as a fighter of BloodClan who longes to be Second-In-Command. Scourge later makes him and Midnight fight for the rank, but Midnight turns out victorious and is chosen to take the role. At first, Logan is very sour about this but then decides to become the Healer Trainee due to his extensive knowledge of wild herbs, his mentor being Thorn. Later, Scourge switches the roles of Logan and Thorn, making Logan fall into the position of Healer. Two of his trainees, Thorn and Click, leave to join LionClan, altering his personality and making him blame himself. He becomes mates with Ghost, a fighter, after saving her life in the First Battle. During the same battle, he also kills Silverfur and Hydroheart, which he regrets heavily later on. Sometime after the second battle, Logan is captured by LionClan and Sleetstar tries to force information out of him regarding Boltstar. However, he faints due to horrible hallucinations and is released after waking. Currentwhisper then proposes to be mates and guilt-trips Logan into agreeing by crying pitifully at his rejection. Upon returning to camp, a woozy, befuzzled Logan tells Ghost about Currentwhisper. Ghost is furious and runs off crying, and Logan realizes he shouldn't have said yes to Currentwhisper and chases after Ghost. They restore their relationship through a heartfelt apology.

Logan earns dog teeth on his collar and claws sometime between the first and second wars. After his release from LionClan, Scourge voices his distrust toward him and assigns Logan a quota of blood. In the third battle, he kills Robinwind after seeing the warrior attack Ghost and subsequently, in a revenge-driven fit of anger, ruins half of Currentwhisper's face with his claws. Logan decides against killing her in the end and spares her life. After the battle, Scourge finds out about this and almost\* takes away Logan's collar and therefore social status within BloodClan. Logan is forced to begin conforming to BloodClan's ideals, significantly altering his way of speech to come off more vicious and menacing. A few moons later, Scourge tells him of a plan to fake BloodClan's conversion into a Clan, dubbing the new 'Clan' NightClan. His codename is Logheart, the prefix coming from his name and suffix representing his overarching softness. However, when he follows Scourge to LionClan to make the treaty, Sleetstar asks for Scourge to hand over Logan and Midnight as prisoners in exchange for their agreement. Logan is aghast but can do nothing as he is sold, not knowing that this was all a part of a plan and he was going to get rescued. During his capture, Sleetstar forces him for information again, and Logan faints due to hallucinations, experiencing a momentary identity crisis. He has turned normal since and escapes from LionClan during the Fourth War.

A few moons later, Logan finds his trainee Sapphire dead, her throat ripped by dogs. This is the third trainee he has lost, which makes him fall into a brief state of depression. The heartbroken, grief-stricken healer states that he never wants to have a trainee again (even though he was given a new trainee, Cherry). Later, Logan is not able to handle the grief and stress, and jumps into a river, leaving behind a message that says “Now everyone can be happy.” He loses consciousness and gets washed away. He wakes up on a riverbank downstream of where he attempted suicide, having laid there unconscious for a day. He regrets his suicide attempt and returns to BloodClan camp, though finding Ghost’s dead body on the way. He is heartbroken, but does not leave because he knows the Clan needs him, and it is not his time.

Soon, Cherry too suffered a terrible fate. This finally broke the healer beyond repair, and he simply became more and more detached from reality. He began to take poor care of himself, relying on eating poppy seeds each day to dull his pain and guilt and dream his days away.

Ideally, Logan took part in the unofficial, made up final battle intended to end the Roleplay. Again, ideally, his throat was slashed by Sleetstar whilst protecting Midnight. His collar\* flew off and he quickly bled out, the last thing he saw being the shocked expressions on Sleetstar’s and Midnight’s faces. The last sound he heard before fading away was a gentle jingling of the nameplate on his severed collar\* as it fell on the ground, briefly hallucinating one image of his kithood as a final means of comfort. Below are two stated outcomes for his afterlife, the first being the original, and second being a modified version Astralium created in December 2020 after being criticized on her choice for Logan's post-death residence. **The second outcome now canonically details Logan's fate.**

**Original (Non-Canon):***Logan was originally going to reside in the Dark Forest, but had redeemed most of his sins. He went to StarClan but felt terribly alone there, as he was surrounded by LionClan cats he didn’t know. He learned that Midnight had died of a sickness shortly after the Great Battle, after BloodClan’s and LionClan’s disbanding after the war (because most cats were killed in the Battle). He then wrote a letter for her on a leaf and released it into the air, hoping that wind will carry it to the Dark Forest. After much time had passed, the letter eventually arrived at the paws of Midnight.*

**Canon:** *Due to the turbulent nature of him in life, it was undecided whether to place Logan in StarClan or the Dark Forest. He was born a kind soul twisted and torn by the nature of his society, shattered and broken by misfortune, impure yet not evil. '**Logan resides in a limbo completely and utterly alone, walking with nothing but emptiness and his own thoughts as he eternally awaits his judgment.***

* It has been debated whether Logan's collar and claws should or should not have been removed by Scourge.
