Muddywater

**Muddywater** is a well-groomed brown tom with darker colourpoints on his face, legs, and tail. He has cloudy yellow eyes, bent whiskers, and a frazzled tail. His build is compact and he is of an average height. His pawpads are well-trodden.

## Personality

Muddywater was very lax, even in youth. His own mentor chided him for a lack of restraint or will to succeed, but Muddywater had always been happy at his own humdrum pace. He participates in sharing tongues regularly but some might say the role of elder is the very role he's been waiting for his whole life. Besides this, he is a doting father and is very gentle and sweet around kits, having special reverence for what gifts of life they are.

## History

As a younger warrior, Muddywater often found himself wondering what life outside of MarshClan was like, and after one or two escapades he found himself falling for a coy, silver-tongued rogue. Muddywater nearly left his clan to be by her side, but eventually decided that MarshClan was worth more to him than some passing whim, and the two parted ways. A few moons later he became mates with Sagemist, putting the rogue out of his mind entirely from then on.

Muddywater and Sagemist tried for kits moon after moon with no success. After ten moons, they were told by Myrtletail that Sagemist was likely barren; the news left Sagemist despondent in her nest for a full moon, barely eating despite Muddywater's daily gifts of prey. Fearing for Sagemist's life, Muddywater pleaded with StarClan for help. Two seasons later, when Muddywater was 64 moons and Sagemist was 55, Sagemist became pregnant with their only kit, Sablekit. The two doted over their daughter, and Muddywater continues to do so even to this day, especially after Sagemist's death. He is very keen to find a good mate for his daughter, so that she might have kits of her own.

### First Leaf-fall

Muddywater is one of the cats present at Flystar's vigil in the evening after her death. Getting everyone's attention, he tells the story of how Flystar lost her first life saving Myrtletail, then an apprentice, from a fierce leafbare storm. He reflects that Flystar loved all of MarshClan dearly, and bows his head in sadness.

When dawn comes, Muddywater is the first to rise, helping to take Flystar's body to the shore of the lake and beginning to dig her grave alongside the others. Though he is forced to take a few breaks by the aching of his joints, he continues, and smooths down the sand over the pit after Flystar has been buried. He leaves for a moment and returns with some fern stems that he places on top of her grave.
Willowkit

**Willowkit** is a small grey tom.

## History

Willowkit was born to Thicketnose and Murkshade during the DriftClan war, alongside his littermates Sappaw and Lichenpaw, and was still a young kit when his father Murkshade died and HollowClan was forced to relocate. Willowkit was too weak to survive the journey and passed away.
Hawkcloud

**Hawkcloud** is a huge brown tabby tom with white paws and leaf-green eyes.

## Personality

Fiercely loyal and protective. He will do anything to save his brother. His fatal flaw is that he thinks that everyone will always need to lean on him. Hawkcloud wants to liked by everybody and everything. It's his goal to become deputy someday, and possibly even leader.

## History

Hawkkit and his brother Merlinkit were born to a single mother, after their father's death a couple of days before their birth. They went through their apprenticeships and graduated to warriors without issue, earning the names Hawkcloud and Merlinmist. Seven moons before HollowClan's arrival in the new forest, their mother died as an elder.

### First Leaf-fall

Hawkcloud is one of the cats chosen for the hind patrol taken to the sundown meeting, alongside Burnetfang, in case the meeting with Molestar and Redclaw goes south and GrimeClan has brought warriors of their own. While watching the leaders talk, Hawkcloud wonders if they brought cats of their own, and worries that HollowClan might be forced to leave again. He asks Burnetfang if she thinks GrimeClan will let them stay, and she admits she doesn't know, then asks him if he thinks they brought a backup patrol as well. Hawkcloud is unsure but says they probably did, and that he's not sure if he would be able to fight another war, remembering how many they lost when CedarClan fell. He says that if any cats could convince another Clan's leader to let them stay, it would be Adderstar and Stagleap. When the meeting is over, **Hawkcloud** returns to camp alongside the rest of the HollowClan cats.

The next day, Hawkcloud is snoozing in the warriors' den when Darkspring comes to ask Ivytooth if she would like to share some prey. He wakes later to get some prey himself alongside Berrybrook, where the two bump into Duskwhisker at the fresh-kill pile (Hawkcloud literally so). Hawkcloud asks Duskwhisker if he thinks one of the HollowClan patrols might run into a GrimeClan patrol again, to which Duskwhisker points out that Adderstar and Stagleap likely won't send anyone near the border in case of conflict... or that maybe they will send some cats to make a good impression. Berrybrook agrees that it's unlikely and suggests they go hunting and explore the territory. Duskwhisker suggests they eat first, and Hawkcloud agrees, taking a rabbit for him and Berrybrook to share.

While they eat, Duskwhisker asks Hawkcloud what GrimeClan was like. Hawkcloud tells him that they seemed much like themselves, despite their odd name, though he didn't hear much from his distance anyway. He suggests maybe their name comes from digging in the mud, or living in a swamp. When Duskwhisker recalls catching his first snake, and Barkstripe's suggestion he put it in Merlinmist's nest, Hawkcloud growls slightly and says that he would have been very angry if he had, then suggests they leave now to hunt. He goes with Berrybrook and Duskwhisker to the Conifer Grove.

Sorreltail

**Sorreltail** is a she-cat with an unknown description.

## History

Sorreltail was born to Berrybrook and an unnamed she-cat. Her mother passed soon after her birth and she was raised solely by Berrybrook. During the battle of CedarClan, Sorreltail was thrown into a shallow gorge and hit her head, dying instantly in front of Berrybrook’s eyes.
Lhel

Lhel, daughter of Savin and Peil, was a Nymean woman who lived two thousand years ago before the Nym were Lost to Ruin. Before the Archon was sentenced by the Golden Empire for his crimes, she assisted his plots by supplying him with power. Since she knew nothing of the Betrayer's true goals, her sentence was to be remanded to the custody of the Family Ssev for the span of a century. There she continued her work, but only under the close supervision of the Geist of Shelim.

Much later she, along with Ssev, awoke The Maw's Mind after the Geist unearthed its severely weakened Body. Lhel later offered up her body to the Maw as a ploy to try and contain it long enough for help to arrive, and in the process she was fully consumed - Body, Mind, and Spirit. The Maw would mimic Lhel's appearance when appearing to others and calling itself Mother.

Before that time Lhel,
The Gorge

The Gorge is a deep crevice in the ground that acts as a natural barrier between the territories of GrimeClan, MarshClan, and HollowClan, and the territories of EagleClan and the Bloodhides. Specifically, it borders the territories of EagleClan and GrimeClan. There is only one part of the divide where the gap is small enough to allow a potential crossing.

## Official Description

*Where Forest meets a barren sheet of stone, breaking off into a cleft which is know as The Gorge, or the Canyon. The Gorge cuts sharply into a steep drop. Few HollowClan or GrimeClan cats are asked to journey out past the natural border where the pine forest ends to check scents or offer updates on the deluge that sometimes spreads out below in the ravine during heavy downpour. The Gorge stretches on for miles and carries a deep color of reddish sediment from erosion. There is one part where the divider is smallest, and that is where one might cross to the other side where the mountains begin.*
Mackerel

**Mackerel** is a large, stocky oak-brown tom with thick tabby stripes running down his flank and legs, and imprinted on his forehead. He has lighter fawn markings. Much of his body is torn or scarred, and a deep laceration runs from his left eye down to his chin. His left eye is permanently clouded and blind, and the remaining eye is green. He has scarring down his flank, chest, face, and legs, and his ears are torn and nicked.

## Personality

Cunning, ambitious, relentless, and fearless. Mack easily defines what it is he seeks in his fellow cat. He would not ask any cat do something he would not do himself.

## History

Mackerel was born the son of Aelorn, the commander of the Bloodhides before him. He and his brothers grew up beneath a harsh method of parenting that despite its cruelty was intended to strengthen them enough to take Aelorn's place once he passed. Mack was raised to battle and kill since he was very young, and was once left in the cold to find his way home.

Mackerel knew his future mate Pavla from childhood. Despite their sharp contrast, they are very close, and Pavla brings out the careful and tender side of Mackerel that some thought to be long gone. Six moons before the Highlands ambush, Mackerel and Pavla had three kits, Henry, Rasmus, and Amelia.

### First Leaf-fall

When Vesper and Erebos return to the Underpass, they visit Mackerel's chamber to report their encounter with EagleClan. Realising that EagleClan means to claim the Highlands, Mackerel decides that it is time to reignite their ever-simmering rivalry, and leaves his den to call the Bloodhides to a meeting. He declares that they will attack EagleClan and take back the Valerian Valley, starting with an attack on the Highlands expedition when they return.

As Mackerel calls the scrappers and hunters to him for their assignments, he notices with pride his son Rasmus sitting attentively in the crowd. He selects Erebos, Icarus, Vesper, and Athena for the patrol that will wait by the Highlands overnight in case the expedition returns early, with Icarus and Vesper as the lookouts and Erebos in charge. Volita, Damocles, and Rubeus are chosen for the second wave.
Volita

**Volita** is a ginger tabby she-cat with a white chest, underbelly, and socks. A thin strip of white runs up her nose to the middle of her forehead. Her eyes are a soft olive green with yellow flecks.

Seen in Image: Vesper (left), Volita (right).

## Personality

Volita and Vesper's bickering sustains their relationship of working out moral kinks between them. Where Volita is civil and withholds judgement till she is alone, Vesper speaks what he sees and snaps easily. Volita is a prime example of a silver-tongue in community and sharp-clawed on the battlefield. She does anything in her power to support Mackerel, knows that she is indebted to him for saving herself and her brother.
Cragleap

**Cragleap** is a tall, longhaired grey tom with a white chin and chest, and white toes on all four paws. He has long, thick fur that always looks slightly ruffled, and makes him look bulkier than he is. His eyes are piercing orange. He has distinctively tufted ears.

## History

Born and raised in EagleClan alongside his littermate Harefoot. After Harefoot's death, following an unfortunate run-in with a territorial predator, Cragleap grieved for a time – this was when he became close to Ermineflight, oddly appreciating her brusque outlook on the matter. Cats died, she told him, and it wasn't fair but it couldn't be changed, so why should they dwell on it? It showed Cragleap a new side to the cat he had seen as only cold and quiet for so long, and was the beginning of his love for her.

## Trivia

* Carries Siamese-type colourpoint markings.
Thicketnose

**Thicketnose** is a predominantly black tortoiseshell brindled with ginger markings. No patches of ginger are quite large enough to reveal her tabby patterning, though some are darker than others. She has a dash of white on her chest and golden eyes. Her ears are distinctly ragged-looking.

## History

Thicketnose and her mate Murkshade had their three kits, Sapkit, Lichenkit, and Willowkit, before the DriftClan war broke out. As a queen, Thicketnose herself was kept safely away from the fighting, but Murkshade was not and sustained injuries in battle that later became infected. This infection went on to prove fatal. During HollowClan's journey to the new forest, Thicketnose's son Willowkit proved too weak to survive the journey, and passed away.

### First Leaf-fall

When Sappaw and Toadpaw are talking, Sappaw looks for Thicketnose or his mentor Darkspring in the hopes he can use them as an excuse to leave.

The next day, Mothdust recalls sharing the nursery with **Thicketnose** for the first moon after HollowClan's settlement of their new territory. Later, she comments that she couldn't have imagined a better mentor for **Thicketnose's** son, Sappaw, than Darkspring.

While talking to Berrybrook, Duskwhisker remembers that one of Thicketnose's kits was apprenticed to him, briefly forgetting Lichenpaw's name. Berrybrook remarks that Thicketnose is a good warrior, and he expects Lichenpaw to live up to her mother's standard.
Gingerheart

**Gingerheart** is a small, bright ginger tabby tom with intense, forest-green eyes.

## Personality

Fiercely loyal and protective of his friends and family. Gingerheart wants HollowClan to stay for a while, because he wants a mate, but there’s no one in his clan that he’s interested in.

## History

Gingerkit and his brother Flamekit were born to two GrimeClan warriors, who died when their kits were young. The brothers grew up sharing the nursery with Sandkit, Batkit, and Dustkit, with Clawkit joining them when Gingerkit was four moons old. Gingerkit and his brother were friendly with Dustkit throughout their kithoods and apprenticeships, though grew apart somewhat as Dustscrape grew into her love of tunnelling and Gingerheart tended towards the moors. This was further encouraged when Gingerheart was made Hazelpaw's mentor, as his new apprentice struggled to navigate the tunnels with his twisted leg. At some point after Hazelpaw's apprenticeship, Gingerheart and Flamepelt took Hazelpaw out into the moor, where Flamepelt fell into the river and drowned despite Gingerheart's attempts to save him.

### First Leaf-fall

The day after GrimeClan's meeting with HollowClan, **Gingerheart** is approached by Dustscrape after her return from her patrol with Sleetpaw. She brings a rabbit to him for them to share, and asks for some advice in managing an unruly apprentice, after Sleetpaw's earlier misbehaviour. Gingerheart is surprised by Sleetpaw's 'prank', and suggests that Dustscrape simply tell him that what he's doing is wrong, and how to make it right.

Thanking him for his advice, Dustscrape asks how his training is going, and if Gingerheart is doing alright. Gingerheart admits that Hazelpaw is being a pain and he misses Flamepelt. At Dustscrape's suggestion that she and Sleetpaw come out with Gingerheart and Hazelpaw to the moor, Gingerheart agrees, adding that she could come out with him and Hazelpaw tomorrow to get to know him before bringing Sleetpaw along. Dustscrape asks if other warriors often come out with him and Hazelpaw, to which Gingerheart says that only Flamepelt really came along with them by choice, and remembers with a shudder Flamepelt's death on one such patrol.

Gingerheart suggests that Dustscrape come out with him and Hazelpaw that day, but Dustscrape declines, saying that she should make sure that Sleetpaw settles into his confinement without causing any more trouble. She assures him that she would be happy to patrol with him, and looks forward to tomorrow. Gingerheart thanks her for her company and takes his leave, going out on a solo patrol.
Volita's Litter

**Volita's litter** was a litter of unborn kits of unknown number and genders. Only Volita and the healers knew of their conception at the point they were miscarried.

## Trivia

* While speaking with Volita, Icarus suggested that he might name a hypothetical kit Eos or Hemera, for the sun.
* Since both Icarus and Volita are red-based, all of their kits would have been red-based as well.
PlumClan

PlumClan is the sister clan of BriarClan and CedarClan, forming as a BriarClan offshoot and settling further into the deciduous forest. It is unknown whether PlumClan survived the DriftClan war.

## Founding

PlumClan was first founded by Plumstar, originally Plumfoot, a former BriarClan medicine cat who was exiled for taking a mate. Shocked by her severe punishment she gathered a select few cats to, in her words, revive the ‘real’ meaning of clans. Furthermore, she decreed medicine cats would be allowed to take mates in her new clan. Their first few seasons were hard, but eventually they successfully survived their first leaf-bare. After sharing PlumClan’s territory for the sake of BriarClan and CedarClan’s kits and elders, Plumstar and her clan earned the respect of the other two clans and a place alongside them at Gatherings.

## Territory

PlumClan’s territory is in the middle of the deciduous forest, with a combination of birch, aspen, and maple trees.

*A brook* runs through PlumClan territory, and has proved to be particularly sought-after in times of drought.

## Trivia

* PlumClan is currently the only clan confirmed to be named after their founding leader.
Merlinmist

**Merlinmist** is a small brown tom with white front paws and a white tail tip. His eyes are green.

## Personality

Grumpy, irritable. He is not very fond of his brother Hawkcloud, and dislikes kits. Merlinmist is always annoyed about something, no matter how small. He is eager to retire.

## History

Merlinkit and his brother Hawkkit were born to a single mother, after their father's death a couple of days before their birth. They went through their apprenticeships and graduated to warriors without issue, earning the names Merlinmist and Hawkcloud.

During Darkspring and Mothdust's apprenticeships, they snuck out of camp to spy on the new Clan DriftClan, and were caught by Merlinmist on their return. Some time in the past, Merlinmist and Duskwhisker went on a hunting patrol that lasted from sunrise to sunset.

Seven moons before HollowClan's arrival in the new forest, their mother died as an elder. Two moons beforehand, Merlinmist was made the mentor of Frostpaw. At one point when training in the old CedarClan territory, Frostpaw was the fastest apprentice up the Great Oak, and Merlinmist gave her some of his fresh-kill as a reward.

### First Leaf-fall

The day after the meeting with GrimeClan, Stagleap wakes Merlinmist to take the apprentices hunting in the south end of the Conifer Grove. Merlinmist irritably gets up and asks if Darkspring will be joining them, to which Stagleap replies in the negative, telling him that Darkspring has been ordered to take it easy for a couple of days by Birchthroat.

The patrol leaves camp and enters the Conifer Grove, Stagleap and **Merlinmist** leading their apprentices Toadpaw and Frostpaw, and Darkspring's apprentice Sappaw. When Stagleap asks Merlinmist what he thinks of the current area for hunting, Merlinmist snarls and snaps that he wants to get this over with, startling all three apprentices. He then demands for the apprentices to tell him what they can smell, and feels frustrated that he was woken up for a hunting trip rather than continuing to sleep in the warriors' den. Stagleap scolds him for his disrespect, and though Merlinmist curls his lip he does not argue further, instead praising the apprentices for scenting mice and a nearby robin. He tells them to show him their mouse-hunting crouches, before each going their own way to find and catch a mouse, the first one to return with their catch winning.

While the apprentices are gone, Merlinmist complains about how long they are taking, then asks Stagleap about the longest hunt he had ever been on. He recalls a hunting patrol with Duskwhisker that once took from sunrise to sunset.
Sleetpaw

**Sleetpaw** is a small grey tom with creamy white paws and fiery amber eyes.

## Personality

Happy-go-lucky and a troublemaker, Sleetpaw almost never thinks about the consequences of his actions. He would rather be playing than training, and acts like a ditzy kit half the time. The other half of the time, he’s joking and being a mischievous apprentice.

## History

Sleetkit and his brother Snowkit were born to Grayheart and Whitefur. They shared the nursery with Lilykit, Hazelkit, and later Sootkit. Three moons before HollowClan's arrival, Sleetpaw was apprenticed to Dustscrape.

### First Leaf-fall

The day after the meeting between GrimeClan and HollowClan, Sleetpaw is woken by Dustscrape for a tunnelling patrol. Sleetpaw is particularly excited for tunnelling, as it is an excellent opportunity to prank other cats. He bounds over to the other cats on the patrol, Wrenpelt and Batwing, and the four of them leave camp with Sleetpaw running ahead.

As the patrol enters the tunnels, Sleetpaw runs ahead of them and feigns a collapse. Dustscrape, Wrenpelt, and Batwing catch up, and Dustscrape and Batwing angrily scold him, to little effect. Sleetpaw is at first oblivious and then defensive, even when his insensitivity towards Firebloom's death is pointed out. An embarrassed Dustscrape takes Sleetpaw back to camp. Sleetpaw begins to be apologetic as they leave, but Dustscrape tells him that if he were really sorry for upsetting them then he would have apologised before, and he's only apologising now to try and get out of punishment.

Returning to camp, Dustscrape takes Sleetpaw straight to Redclaw and orders Sleetpaw to explain what he did. He receives another stern lecture by an irate and grief-stricken Redclaw, before Redclaw and Dustscrape agree that Sleetpaw's punishment will be confinement to camp for the next moon and performing camp maintenance duties. Sleetpaw asks if he can go and talk to Lilypaw before he starts, and Dustscrape agrees, telling him to get some food before she gives him his tasks for the day.

Sleetpaw gets two mice from the fresh-kill pile and goes over to Lilypaw, giving her one of the mice and beginning to eat his own. When Lilypaw asks why they returned early, worried that someone had been hurt, Sleetpaw ashamedly admits he faked a cave-in and is now confined to camp for a moon. Lilypaw is sympathetic and agrees to play moss-ball and hang out with him during his confinement, suggesting that all the apprentices could have a match together. As she leaves to speak with Redclaw, Sleetpaw finishes eating.
Aconite

**Aconite** is a small, longhaired black tom rippled with dark brown rusting. He has a solid but not especially muscular build. His eyes are yellow-green.

## Personality

Though he has a heart of gold, Aconite has no tolerance for stupidity and very little patience in general. Most of the Bloodhides have been on the wrong end of his sharp tongue a few times. Once Aconite grows to like a cat, however, his loyalty is near-unshakable – albeit a bit sarcastic at times. He has an earnestly joyful interest in plants of all kinds, not only herbs, and has several hidden patches he tends to as best he can.

## History

A longstanding member of the Bloodhides, Aconite has been patching up wounds since before many of his groupmates were born. He had a fairly brief relationship with the hunter Athena, and they had a litter of three kits together, Mistletoe, Oleander, and Fern. Nobody aside from Aconite and Athena themselves is quite sure why their relationship came to an end, although they seem to hold no hard feelings against each other. His new relationship with Erebos began only two seasons ago, although they have been friends for a long time.

### First Leaf-fall

Aconite sits beside Erebos as they watch Mackerel's declaration of war against EagleClan. Though Aconite does not cheer openly, he lifts his chin at the thought of taking the Valerian Valley back for the Bloodhides, despite the fighting having arrived sooner than he would have liked. Afterwards he tells Erebos to stop leering before the rest of the Bloodhides think he'll slay them in their sleep, before asking him to promise he won't end up bled out in the Valley. They go over to Aconite's former mate Athena and her brother Ace with the intention of speaking to them, but are interrupted when Mackerel summons the scrappers and hunters to be assigned to the battle patrols.

Remaining beside Erebos as the nightfall ambush patrol and the second wave are selected, Aconite glances towards Volita, recalling the troubles she has recently faced. He asks Erebos to look after the younger cats while they're fighting EagleClan, to which Erebos agrees.
Stagleap

**Stagleap** is a wiry russet ticked tabby tom with warm hazel eyes. His fur is a darker reddish-brown along the length of his spine, darkening at the tip of his tail and along his shoulders. He has a white muzzle marking that extends to the hollow of his throat. There is a scar spanning the length of his underbelly.

## Personality

While somewhat young for a deputy, many who knew Stagleap were unsurprised by the decision made by Adderstar to promote this loyal tom. As an apprentice, he was diligent and hardworking in his training and constantly strove to push his limits. As a mentor, he has exhibited patience and organized direction. Cats of the clan know him to be generally warm-hearted and composed. Those with stronger ambitions may criticize him to be too soft when it comes to discipline and consequences - he lets younger cats off "too easily". In battle, he is willing to sacrifice his own life to protect those he cares for. As deputy, he will bear the weight of his newfound responsibility without complaint. He admires the unquestionable strength and wisdom of Adderstar and takes any criticisms or advice given by his superior closely to heart.

## History

Born to Flamepelt and Brindletail of CedarClan, Stagkit's kithood was largely unremarkable. As a young apprentice, his mother Brindletail was killed in the same badger attack that took the life of Adderstar's sister. He trained as an apprentice alongside Darkpaw and Mothpaw, and though he did not get up to the same mischief as his denmates, neither did he give them up to the warriors when asked.

After earning his warrior name of Stagleap, his father Flamepelt took another mate, Mouse-ear. They went on to have a kit of their own, Stagleap's half-brother Branchkit, with whom Stagleap became very close. Shortly before the DriftClan war, Stagleap was assigned as Toadpaw's mentor.

The DriftClan war arrived when Branchpaw had become an apprentice. Both Branchpaw and Flamepelt were killed in the battle that forced CedarClan to flee, while Mouse-ear later died after her wounds became infected. Stagleap himself suffered a severe wound to his stomach in the battle, but left his sick-nest early despite Birchthroat's warnings in order to make room for others. After Adderstar's predecessor died and Adderstar became leader, he chose Stagleap as his deputy.
Rookflight

**Rookflight** is a tall, graceful, long-legged black tom with a white chin, chest, underbelly, and paws. He has a small white flash above his nose and orange eyes. His fur is long and neatly groomed. After the Highlands ambush, he is missing the tip of one ear and the other ear is slightly torn.

## Personality

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, Rookflight retains the eager patriotism that so many young warriors have for their Clan. He does even the most boring of duties with only lighthearted complaining, though he will try to tempt his patrol-mates into a game if he can. Rookflight has high ambitions for himself, and hopes to someday become deputy, if not leader, of EagleClan – though he doesn't do much to ensure this, suggesting he thinks it is simply inevitable that he will one day grow to be perfect for the role and summarily chosen. For now, he remains cheerfully distractible, though he tries to be as dutiful as he must. It has long been a dream of his to climb to Corrigan's Peak.

## History

Rookkit was born as the only kit in Ermineflight and Cragleap's first litter. He was a few moons younger than the rest of his fellow kits - Tigerkit and his sister, Drizzlekit, and Shadowkit. When he was four moons old, he was joined in the nursery by Peakit.

He was apprenticed at six moons, and his training passed without issue. At eight moons, his parents had a second litter, Boulderkit and Mistkit. Despite having been an only child until this point, he felt no resentment towards his new siblings, and quickly took on the role of a 'cool older brother' towards them. Eventually he earned his warrior name, Rookflight, to reflect his speed and agility.
The Creek

The Creek is a branching stream from the Lake. It runs through a sandy ravine and is edged with reeds. Though it is a good source of fish in greenleaf, most HollowClan cats do not hunt here.

## Official Description

*West of HollowClan Camp. A sandy ravine spotted with fronds and reeds. The Creek is in fact a stream that branches off from the freshwater Lake. Waters rife with fish in late Greenleaf. Most HollowClan cats will not hunt here.*
Smokefall

**Smokefall** is a small, petite black smoke tabby she-cat with golden eyes. She has rounded features and smoke-coloured fur banded with dark stripes. Her tabby stripes are most apparent in sunlight.

## Personality

Smokefall is cautious. She does not divulge secrets easily, wants her clanmates approval, and is usually seen with a far-off gaze (listlessly towards the mouth of the clan cave). She is a bit of a dork, but acts aloof and serious around others to keep up an appearance of neatness. She doesn't know what she's doing most days and really just puts forth an honest attempt in everything she does, including motherhood now.

## History

Smokekit was born to unknown EagleClan warriors. She shared the nursery with Morningkit, Tigerkit and his sister, Drizzlekit, and Shadowkit, joined when she was five moons old by Rookkit. Her apprenticeship passed without much incident and she earned her warrior name, Smokefall, though she did meet the rogue tom Edgar. He was both fascinating and entertaining, and over time the two became mates. A moon after **Smokefall** received her warrior name, Edgar told her that his group would soon be moving into another territory. Smokefall begged him to stay and join the Clan to no avail, and over the next couple of moons she saw less and less of him. Two moons ago she saw him for the last time, on the night that they conceived Wolfkit and Palekit.

As Smokefall began to grow weary and sluggish, she visited Morningbird's den for advice, and was told she was expecting kits. Her lack of an obvious mate and clear distress led EagleClan to realise she took a mate outside of the Clan, and she earned significant judgement and scorn as a result.

### First Leaf-fall

Smokefall and Grapeclaw are visited in the nursery by Lynxear and Goatwhisker. Though Goatwhisker is friendly to Smokefall, Lynxear is notably colder and makes a few pointed comments in Smokefall's earshot. She tries to convince Goatwhisker to stay, hoping for some company, but Goatwhisker declines with Grapeclaw's three kits asleep in the den.

Falling asleep soon after they leave, Smokefall dreams of her former mate Edgar. He opens his mouth to speak, but at that moment she is woken as she goes into labour. She urges Grapeclaw to go and fetch Morningbird, which Grapeclaw does, and Morningbird arrives to assist with the birth. Her two kits are born healthy, although one is smaller than the other. Thanking Morningbird for her help, and for sticking up for her when she was first discovered to be pregnant, Smokefall asks if she would like to hear their names. At Morningbird's agreement, Smokefall names the black smoke she-kit Wolfkit and the white tom Palekit. She tells Morningbird that she is fine for the moment, and once Morningbird leaves falls asleep again, curled around her newborn kits.
Ace

**Ace** is a huge black tom with a white underbelly, paws, and tail-tip. His eyes are a very dark amber.

## Personality

Snappy and gruff, he hates tadpoles. Ace was never fond of any cat, not even his brother.

## History

Ace and his littermates, Acorn and Athena, were born to a mother who died giving birth and raised for a short time by their father, though they left him quickly. The three lived together until Acorn was hit by a monster and killed. A short time afterwards, Ace and Athena found and joined the Bloodhides, Ace taking the role of a defender.

### First Leaf-fall

Ace appears in the crowd present at Mackerel's announcement of war with EagleClan, alongside his sister Athena. Ace yowls his support for battle with EagleClan, oblivious to his sister's discomfort.
The Moor

The Moor lies to the north of GrimeClan camp, largely traversed by GrimeClan using the tunnels that run beneath it. Bordered by the Pine Forest on one side and the Gorge on the other, it is a wide field of grassy hills and meadows that serve as prime hunting ground.

## Official Description

*The dense pine woodland opens into a vast field of sloping hills to the north of GrimeClan. Here, the sparse poplars dot the terrain though it is dominated by tall grass and a free meadow. The open plains offer little cover but GrimeClan cats do not mind, preferring to follow their tunnels to the open stretch of plain here. To the far east cats can see the mountains and their looming shadows. For miles onward north it is rife with meadow prey and tunnels (some of which are not clan cat made...).*

## History

Two moons before HollowClan's arrival, Flamepelt fell into a river on the Moor and drowned while on a patrol with Gingerheart and Hazelpaw.
MarshClan

MarshClan is the sister clan of GrimeClan and more recently HollowClan, living on the other side of the Lake within a marshy forest. They have cultivated the skill of diving to the bottom of the Lake to hunt the bottom-dwelling fish, with their cats training for moons to gain the lung capacity needed.

## Founding

The exact circumstances of MarshClan’s founding are unknown, but they formed alongside GrimeClan many generations ago.

## Territory

MarshClan’s territory consists of wetlands, low grasslands, and a forest of willow and cypress trees. Flooding is not uncommon.

*MarshClan’s camp* is slightly inland and risen above the rest of the fen. It is surrounded by fronds, reeds, and tall grass, and protected against wind and rain by a number of low-hanging willows, with one particularly large weeping willow sheltering the leader and medicine cat’s dens.

*The Lake* is a deep and expansive body of water that houses a wide variety of fish and bottom-dwellers. At times, fog rolls over from the surface of the lake towards MarshClan’s camp.

## Customs

*Death –* after the overnight vigil for a deceased cat, their body is taken and buried on the shore of the lake, so that they may swim out to join the stars.

## Idioms and Sayings

*‘weaker than fishbone’* – flimsy. First used in roleplay by Shrikethorn.
Pine Forest

The Pine Forest is the northern half of the pine and oak forest that covers both GrimeClan and HollowClan's territories. GrimeClan owns this part of the forest.

## Official Description

*Known as the Conifer Grove to HollowClan cats, this territory also extends north into GrimeClan camp. This entire forest has been claimed by GrimeClan in moons prior, although the northern portion is the one they use the most, because of the extensive tunnels that lead here, although there are a few that do reside in now 'HollowClan territory'. These tall trees are full year round and keep the prey rife and well stocked.*

## History

The Pine Forest was claimed generations ago by GrimeClan.

### First Leaf-fall

As a result of the meeting between HollowClan and GrimeClan, the southern half of the Pine Forest becomes HollowClan territory.
Rasmus

**Rasmus** is a slender brown tabby tom with green eyes and white paws. His sides and forehead are striped with thick black markings. He strongly resembles his father Mackerel.

## Personality

Principled, serious, determined. From a young age, Rasmus has been certain that he will serve as his father's heir, perhaps in rank and definitely in spirit. He holds a fierce hatred for EagleClan, though his young mind imagines them as being simply pure, inherent evil. To varying success, he tries to "pull rank" on his siblings and keep them in line.

## History

Rasmus was born to Mackerel and Pavla alongside his littermates Amelia and Henry. His kithood was largely uneventful until around the time of the Highlands ambush.

### First Leaf-fall

Rasmus watches Mackerel's announcement of war against EagleClan alongside his siblings and mother. When Amelia asks nervously if a second war is beginning, Rasmus disdainfully asks if Amelia would have them simply roll over and surrender to EagleClan. Amelia argues that not everything has to lead to war, and Rasmus retreats, not wanting to be scolded by their mother. He asks if he may go and sit by Mackerel as he assigns the patrols, which Pavla allows him to do.

Sitting at the front of the crowd of hunters and scrappers summoned by Mackerel, Rasmus watches as his father assigns Erebos, Icarus, Vesper, and Athena to the patrol that will wait overnight by the Highlands in case the expedition returns early, and Volita, Damocles, and Rubeus to the second wave. He resolves to speak with the patrol afterwards to ask about their strategies and choices in a fight.

Early the next morning, while the battle is ongoing, Rasmus and Amelia are both kept awake by the distant sounds of fighting cats. Despite his bravado, Rasmus is unnerved by the yowls. Amelia asks if he thinks that some of their cats will be killed, adding that she's sure some of the EagleClan cats will have families just like theirs that won't want them to die either. Rasmus assures her that he's sure none of the Bloodhides will die, and says that the EagleClan cats are just like foxes or badgers, who have to be killed so that the Bloodhides can survive.
Sootpaw

**Sootpaw** is a long-furred black tom with bright green eyes. He is slim and small.

## Personality

Sootpaw is an extremely shy tom which causes him to get very anxious around other cats. He dislikes fighting, which is why he refused the life of a warrior. His self-esteem is lacking and he constantly seeks approval from his mentor Rabbitfoot, though he doesn't let this be known.

## History

Sootkit was born to GrimeClan warriors. At six moons old, he became the apprentice to the current medicine cat Rabbitfoot.

## Trivia

* Sootpaw is mistakenly described as dark grey in his character creation sheet.
Rubeus

**Rubeus** is a massive, longhaired dark grey tom with rippling muscles. He has a scarred shoulder and a slightly crooked tail. His eyes are a dark, sparkling amber, and he has a thick, beardlike ruff of fur around his neck.

## Personality

Rubeus is cheerful and a bit childish, but he has a good heart. He doesn't know his own strength and is very fond of kits. He's friendly and a true sweetheart who loves his little Bloodhides family.

## History

Born to an outsider mother, Rubeus was brought to the Bloodhides as a kit to be raised by his mother's mate, a member of the Bloodhides himself. Rubeus inherited his massive size from his maternal family and was, from a young age, a sharp contrast to his small and shrimpy father. The two were very close until Rubeus' father died shortly before the Highlands ambush.

### First Leaf-fall

Rubeus is present in the crowd when Mackerel declares war against EagleClan. Rubeus cheers for the Bloodhides, shouting that they will triumph and take back the Valley. Later, when Mackerel calls the scrappers and hunters to him for their battle assignments, Rubeus is assigned to the second wave that will follow up the ambush, alongside Damocles and Volita. He thinks to himself that he is glad he's not a part of the patrol that will be on watch all night in the Valley.

Early the next morning, after the battle has begun and EagleClan's own reinforcements have arrived, Rubeus and Damocles go out to join the fight at Volita's prompting. Arriving on the scene of the battle, Rubeus sees Vesper attacked by Goatwhisker and smacks her away from him with a blow to the head. He grabs Vesper by the scruff and lifts him onto his paws, noting the body of Shadowstreak close by. As Goatwhisker gets to her paws, still half-dazed, Vesper runs forwards to attack her. After a brief scuffle Goatwhisker is thrown to the ground, at which point Rubeus catches up and kills her with a second blow to the head.

Checking that Vesper is not badly injured, Rubeus tells him to sit out while he goes to assist Volita, who he has seen is trapped beneath Rookflight. As Rubeus nears them, Rookflight springs away and goes into a surrendering crouch. Rubeus ignores Rookflight now that he has yielded, instead turning to Volita and asking if she is alright.

## Trivia

* Rubeus was based on the fictional character Rubeus Hagrid from the *Harry Potter* series.
Flamepelt (HC)

**Flamepelt** is a tom with an unknown description.

## History

Flamepelt was the mate of Brindletail until her death at the claws of a badger. They had a single son, Stagleap. When Stagleap was a warrior, several moons after Brindletail's death, Flamepelt became mates with Mouse-ear, and together they had their son Branchpaw. He and Branchpaw were both killed in the DriftClan war.
Lilystar

**Lilystar** is a cat with an unknown description and gender.

## History

Lilystar was the leader of MarshClan preceding Flystar. They lost their final life in a fight with a fox.

### First Leaf-fall

Lilystar is first mentioned by Softstream, who recalls that she had not yet been born when Lilystar died and Flystar became leader of MarshClan.

Later, at Flystar's funeral, Oakclaw remembers that Lilystar's death was his first real experience with the matter, as he was a new apprentice at the time.
Rabbitfoot

**Rabbitfoot** is a silver ticked tabby tom with black tabby markings. His fur is lightest at his head, chest, and underbelly, darkening across the rest of his body. He has prominent black stripes on his limbs and around his eyes, which are a clear blue.

## Personality

Far less sociable than many of his clanmates, Rabbitfoot prefers to spend time with his own thoughts as opposed to hearing the constant prattle of others'. He dreams quite vividly (which can be both a blessing and a curse) and has exhibited signs of spiritual proclivity since he was a kit, which led to his apprenticeship. When he speaks, he is very to-the-point and avoids subtleties or delicate workarounds. Because of this, his bedside manner is somewhat lacking in gentle or coddling empathy. He genuinely cares for his clanmates and his sharpness stems from a belief that they are mature enough to be treated without condescending softness. Around youngsters, he is shockingly kind and patient. While his life might be considered a lonely one by others, he has never been malcontent with it or with himself. He has a purpose he serves well and efficiently. What more can there be to grieve over?

## History

Rabbitfoot was born to two unnamed parents who, like his mentor, have now died of old age. His two siblings remain alive and healthy. Shortly before the arrival of HollowClan, he took Sootpaw on as his apprentice.

### First Leaf-fall

Rabbitfoot first appears during Molestar's announcement after the meeting with HollowClan. Molestar asks Rabbitfoot to report if he receives a sign from StarClan regarding the matter. Rabbitfoot remarks that though StarClan is not typically swayed by territory disputes, the arrival of a new Clan is not exactly typical, and agrees to do so.
Lichenpaw

**Lichenpaw** is a shorthaired grey-and-cream tortoiseshell she-cat with distinct cream tabby patches. She has a large white chest marking and white sock markings on all four paws. She has watery, pale yellow eyes.

## Personality

Lichenpaw's had her fair share of sadness, and is over it. She's determined to be the best warrior she can be and she works harder than anyone else. She even overworks herself in the name of success and proving herself. Lichenpaw is loyal to HollowClan and her leader, and she'd never consider betraying her Clanmates or Adderstar. She looks up to her leader and tries to replicate his behavior. Lichenpaw is judgmental and harsh on those she believes are being cruel or breaking the rules. She cares deeply for her remaining family members.

## History

Lichenkit was the first born in her litter of three, followed by her brothers Sapkit and Willowkit. She never knew her father Murkshade, as he died as a result of the DriftClan war, and has few memories of Willowkit. She and her brother Sappaw were apprenticed less than a moon before the meeting with GrimeClan, with Lichenpaw being apprenticed to Berrybrook.

### First Leaf-fall

Lichenpaw sits to the side of the camp, watching with amusement as Sappaw and Toadpaw sneak into the warriors' den and play their prank. She turns away to look around for Berrybrook, but is called over by Darkspring, who asks if she would like to join their hunting practice. Lichenpaw eagerly agrees, then worries that she might fall behind if she's not trained by Berrybrook. Sappaw and Darkspring assure her that they don't think she will, and Lichenpaw tells her brother that she's sure he'll do well too.

Beginning the training, Lichenpaw lowers into a crouch and tries to sneak, but slips over. She is embarrassed but assured by Darkspring. Stagleap approaches and asks for Toadpaw to join in on their training session, to which Darkspring agrees and uses Lichenpaw as the example for how Toadpaw should distribute his weight.

The next day, Duskwhisker asks Berrybrook how Lichenpaw's training is going. Berrybrook tells him that Lichenpaw is quite the quick learner, and a kind cat as well. He says that he's sure Lichenpaw will be as good a warrior as her mother Thicketnose.
Eaglestar

**Eaglestar** is a tom with an unknown appearance.

## History

Eaglestar was the first leader and founder of EagleClan. After the Bloodhides arrived in the territory, he received a vision from StarClan prompting him to leave with some cats of his own and set up camp at Corrigan's Peak, estranging himself from his brother Einar and the remaining Bloodhides. Eaglestar began accusing the Bloodhides of stealing EagleClan prey, until the First Great War broke out, leading to the deaths of many cats on both sides. Afterwards Einar tricked Eaglestar into a meeting alone and attempted to assassinate him, which Eaglestar only survived because of the nine lives he had been given by StarClan. Eventually Eaglestar went on to die a final death, the cause of which is currently unknown.
