Stormfog

Stormfog is a dark blue-gray molly with darker points and yellow eyes.

Stormfog was one of the first members of the Pinewood Clowder, and its first leader. She led them from Update Two through Update Fifteen.

## Year 1

Stormfog is the one to find a spot for the clowder to place their camp. She is established as leader by StarClan and is also the one to give the clowder its name, as well as putting into place the laws of the clowder. She takes an unusual interest in another clowder nearby, though she is not eager to interact with them.

When the truth is revealed about Flare being the sire of Jasper and Pip despite denying it, and Olive asks that Flare be removed from his position as Patrol Deputy, Stormfog is adamant that no cat should lose their position due to their parenting.

## Year 2

When Pip loses his tail due to his mentor, Goldenrod, being distracted with Euthamia, Stormfog considers demoting him to an apprentice and reassigning Pip to another mentor, however she doesn't go through with it. She gives a stern talk to Euthamia about distracting the clowders' members from their duties. Later, she listens to Euthamia explain her newfound memory, although she isn't very interested.

Olive and Speck travel to speak with the other clowder, where their leader, Blitz, reveals that Stormfog was his mother, claiming she abandoned him. Olive confronts Stormfog, where she explains that Blitz was the only surviving kit of his litter. After losing her other kits, Stormfog realized she wasn't fit to raise him, so she left him near a twoleg den. They met again a few seasons later, where Blitz asked her to accept him, but she persisted and denied, knowing she could not raise him better than he had raised himself. She remarks that though she would like to reconcile with him, she has no hope for a happy reunion. Stormfog becomes quiet for a while after the confrontation. Even though she doesn't have a good relationship with Blitz, she puts it aside to try to ally their clowders to fight against The Court.

Near the end of this conversation, StarClan sends Stormfog, Olive, Dove, and Dodger a prophecy telling them to ally with Blitz's clowder to face off against The Court. They are unsure how to go about it. Stormfog is hesitant to get in contact with the other clowder, and so is Blitz.

Scab develops a painful lump on his side that Snip determines is incurable. When she suggests euthanizing Scab so that he doesn't suffer, Olive has such a strong negative reaction that Stormfog denies the request. However, when Scab himself says that he would rather not suffer, Stormfog allows him to be euthanized. She implements a new clowder law that says if a cat is in pain they may choose to be poisoned for a more peaceful death.

## Year 3

Stormfog listens to Flare explain his fear of the court due to being a former member, and decides to demote him from patrol deputy to avoid making them a target. She appoints her former apprentice, Lucy, as patrol deputy instead.

Stormfog treks to Blitz's clowder and has a heart-to-heart with him. They agree to ally their clowders with each other, and Blitz forgives her halfway, but they decide to remain strangers after their business with The Court is finished.

After Goldenrod is killed by Euthamia, Stormfog reams into Blanche for planning so closely with Euthamia on attacking the court. She prohibits Blanche from taking an active role in the attack on the court, though she does promise that the court will be dealt with.

Stormfog begins looking for the next leader. She decides that the next leader of the clowder should be one of the deputies, decided between by a vote by the clowder. When Blanche expresses discontent at this due to believing she is the rightful next leader of the clowder, Stormfog exiles her for her blasphemous words, though she gives her the chance to return if she takes back her words.

In autumn, Stormfog participates in the battle against The Court alongside Blitz's clowder. She recieves a deep wound to her flank in the battle that scars, causing her to retire from the fight. Following Olive's death, she declares Speck as the new camp deputy in her mother's stead.

In the winter, Pebble is apprenticed to Stormfog.

When Stormfog learns of Oleander, Ivy, Yew, and Speck's plan to rescue Snip from being a prisoner of the court, she is upset that they didn't tell her about their plan, but happy they returned alive.

## Year 4

Stormfog declares Euthamia an active threat following some activity from her, and declares that if any member of the clowder spots her they are to kill her. She keeps an eye out for any sign of The Court.

In autumn, the clowder launches another attack on The Court, only to find them gone. Blanche, Ivy, and Harlequin want to track The Court down, but Stormfog decides they've fought enough.

In the winter, Stormfog catches a strange deadly illness that sweeps through the clowder. The other sick cats either recover or die, and Stormfog is left as the last patient. Lily, the active medic, wants to treat her, but Stormfog declines out of fear of spreading the illness to the clowder's main medic. She moves to the outskirts of the territory, deciding that she would only come back if she recovered. She is treated from a distance for a few days until the illness takes her. Her body is found basking in the last sunset of winter. Speck and Lucy cover her body with just a bit of soil, for privacy, but otherwise leave it alone - she would have liked it that way, they decide.
