**WeaselClan** is one of the three groups of cats living in the River Territories alongside LynxClan and FishClan. They live in a marshy forest in the northeast section of the territories. Their founding leader was Weaselstar, a small molly with a knack for planning and stealing.

# Clan Personality & Features

WeaselClan cats are reserved and sneaky, unable to give up even the smallest and most mundane of secrets to the other Clans. They've been known for being the Clan fought over most for an ally, as their land is the only way for LynxClan and FishClan to meet without heavy loss. Due to this, they rarely give up information about their alliances and their support or hatred of ideas unless it benefits them in some way. Hemlockstar broke the tradition of silence by being vocal about her distaste towards Smewstar.

WeaselClan cats are slender and sleek usually having some sort of marking or having a darker coat to make up for the lack of camouflage. They have wider paws to prevent from sinking into the ground, which makes kits look incredibly adorable with their massive paws. They have large eyes similar to an owl's, which are usually bright in color.

# Territory

WeaselClan territory is a dark forest with trees incredibly close to one another. The ground is damp and can sometimes be unstable, causing small mudslides or cats to suddenly start to sink. The undergrowth is thick which makes it easy to get lost.

* **Camp** - WeaselClan camp is situated within a clearing with multiple layers and many hiding spots for the dens. Kits sometimes have trouble making their way back to the nursery.
* **Weeping Tunnels** - An ancient tunneled filled with pawprints of deceased and lost cats. Spirits are said to linger around their bones, as they've never been found.
* **Stoat-tail Stream** - A long stream shaped like a stoat's tail.
* **Muddy Pawprint** - A large muddy clearing that had multiple ponds in the shape of a cat paw
* **Conifer Clearing** - A muddy clearing surrounded by slick stones and conifer trees where apprentices are trained.
* **Stepping Stones** - Stones between LynxClan and WeaselClan that allow cats to cross the Great River. Border disputes commonly happen around the stone, but never on them, out of fear of drowning.

WeaselClan primarily hunts in the undergrowth, hunting small lizards and birds such as robins and wrens. They aren't very picky with their prey and will sometimes eat scraps of twoleg food if it manages to find its way into their territory. They don't eat very often and when they do every cat has a favorite type of prey or twoleg food that they *must* have.

Raccoons are the only predator that is willing to traverse the forest. They can carry Frothmouth, which leads to fear in WeaselClan cats. They will quickly dispose of raccoons or at the least chase them back to LynxClan territory. Weasels and stoats can also be problems if they decide to make burrows in the forest. If a group of weasels/stoats decides to work together, it can mean disaster for the Clan.

# Camp

WeaselClan camp has multiple entrances that allow easy access for the Clan, and can confuse invaders who are looking for a clearly defined tunnel or barrier. They use the natural flora to protect themselves, which includes the shape of camp. The only things dug out of camp are the dens, everything else remains the same from when Weaselstar decided she'd live at the camp.

* **Leader's Den** - The leader's den is under the roots of an oak tree that once belonged to a massive predator. The den is large enough to fit five cats inside.
* **Medicine Den** - The medicine den is nearby the leader's den, being underneath the roots of an ancient tree struck in half by lightning. Stones were placed in the once damp walls of the den to provide shelving for herbs, and a small corner of the den was dug out so the medicine cats could have a place to sleep.
* **Nursery** - The nursery is hidden behind a small rising of dirt and multiple bushes. The den is a burrow underneath a growing oak sapling. Inside the den, the floor is coated with moss and leaves to provide kits a soft surface to play on.
* **Warrior's Den** - The entrance to the warrior's den is underneath a rotting log, which also partially makes up the roof of the den. Most of the den is underground, like the other dens, however there is a section aboveground behind the log. The roof of the outside area is made of brambles.
* **Apprentice's Den** - The apprentice's den is a burrow inside a mount of dirt. Their position in camp gives them a perfect spot to listen to meetings, even from inside the den.
* **Elder's Den** - The elder's den is inside one of the dirt risings. Originally it was beneath crisscrossed trees, however when their leaves began to fall off the current elder's den was dug out.

Clan meetings are called on the Gatheringstump, which is across from the apprentice's den. The leader's words can be heard from any point in camp, even back in the nursery.
