MoonClan's ambitious story

MoonClan's ambitious story (Early Green-Leaf (327.5), 32–) is the series of the MoonClan cats as they go through the generations of peace, war, tensions, alliances, rivalries, and discoveries, all together as a Clan. All the cats have individual stories of their own, some very short, some very long, but they are all represented in MoonClan's ambitious story. And the other Mountain Clans' stories are intertwined with this series as well, in all good, bad and neutral ways. The story mainly focuses around the leaders, the first one being Birchstar, but it also features close friends to the leaders as well, and some other Clanmates, too.

Sometime along the history of the Mountains, a few other Clans have been made such as FlowerClan, but the main focus of the series is MoonClan.

MoonClan
MoonClan was a Mountain Clan that was founded by Moonstar along with AdderClan and SnowClan as per the Mountain Clan Prophecy. FlowerClan also joined the mix sooner or later. MoonClan was known for being a peaceful Clan, whose only ambitions were to try to live properly and only fight when necessary. The leaders, deputies, warriors, and medicine cats all display these qualities, and the mentors train their apprentices to be educated about the world, more than the usual physical skills. (intro link) And MoonClan's ambitions were always high, but they were good ones, too. This is MoonClan's ambitious story, throughout the many generations that lived in MoonClan, MoonClan's ambitious legacy.

## Stories

1. (1): The First Four Leaders - (Early Green-Leaf (327.5), 32–Mid Leaf-Fall (379.5), 36) - This is the life story of MoonClan's fourth leader, Birchstar, originally named Birchcreek. He was born during the last days of Moonstar's life, but lived through Snowstar and Maplestar's reigns before becoming leader himself. He had been a legend for putting his life in danger for others, and never backed down when it was okay to fight. Other stories are focused on, too, such as Whitestripe (originally Zebrapaw) and Primrosestorm's stories about their struggles to try and be a good warrior, and Thymeclaw and Birdwing's own issues and their friendship.

He has issues with his devilish sister, his seemingly stupid name (Zebrapaw), a crazy she-cat who's always after him, and his brash personality, but tries to be strong through hardships and fights for his Clan, especially when issues hit him headstrong. His mother was Birchstar's mentor, his father was the fourth deputy and his paternal grandmother was the first leader. He has some faith in StarClan.
		+ Primrosestorm (Late Green-Leaf (329), 32–Late Leaf-Bare (419), 40) – Rosepetal & Maplestar – Primary tritagonist – A cat with reflexive disabilities, of which her story adds to the main one. After several issues hit the Clan, she tried to help them wholeheartedly as a deputy or medicine cat would. She also learned some medicine and tried to be the best warrior she could be. Her father was the third leader, and her paternal grandfather the first deputy. She has some faith in StarClan.

		+ Swanstream (Mid New-Leaf (325.25), 32–Mid Leaf-Fall (415), 39) – Goldenlily & Swiftclaw – Important Viewpoint Character – A cat which is mute, of which her point of view is really important as well. She suffers some trauma through her mother and sisters, Goldenlily, Mousekit and Icemoon dying, but overall it makes her strong enough to face more hardships. Her mate was Birchstar.
		+ Shadowclaw (Mid Leaf-Bare (322), 32–) – Goldenlily & Swiftclaw – Important Viewpoint Character – An outgoing and humorous cat who has to make important decisions in life when hard times hit. He suffers some trauma through his mother and sisters, Goldenlily, Mousekit and Icemoon dying, but overall it makes him strong enough to face more hardships. His sister, Swanstream, is mute so he cares about her a lot.
		+ Mountainstream (Mid New-Leaf (325.25), 32–Mid New-Leaf (409), 39) – Flipsnow & Littleclaw – Important Viewpoint Character – A cat who wants to love life as it is, and supports Birchstar wholeheartedly.

She tries to be strong during tough situations, and is very territorial when it comes to what she likes.

		+ Thymeclaw (Late Leaf-Fall (332), 32–) – T & Redwater – Important Viewpoint character – Redwater's son who might have a dark history behind his father.

	* #### Other Viewpoint Characters:

		+ Snowstar (MC) (Early Green-Leaf (279), 28–Mid Green-Leaf (352), 34) – Lilyear – Viewpoint character – The second leader of MoonClan, and the father of Birchstar, so his story is important, too.

He is mostly neutral to what's going on in the Clan, but he worries for his only nephew, Thymeclaw, the most out of every cat in the Clan. He is mostly shy and aloof so he doesn't talk to his other Clanmates a lot, but he is also kind and friendly from inside.

		+ Maplestar (Late New-Leaf (290), 29–Late New-Leaf (362), 35) – Queen (MC) & Wisdomheart – Viewpoint character – Primrosestorm's father and the third leader of MoonClan.

He also tries to be a good father to his daughters, Primrosestorm and Dandelionflight.
		+ Cypressfall (Mid Leaf-Bare (358), 35–) – Soarpetal & Jumpclaw – Viewpoint character – Mountainstream's niece through Jumpclaw who is shy, but has big dreams of being a warrior, although she is still scared of it. She looks up to Shadowclaw, Swanstream and Petalflight a lot as they have gone through a lot and wishes to be like them.
		+ Redwater (Mid New-Leaf (313), 31–Mid Leaf-Bare (358), 35) – Rain Drop & Forestcreek – Minor Viewpoint character – Flameeye's sister, who is probably keeping secrets from MoonClan.
		+ Petuniaheart (Mid New-Leaf (289), 29–) – Moonstar (MC) & Orangehill – Minor Viewpoint character – Birchstar's mother who usually takes things lightly. After having gotten a lot of attention from having a lot of important connections, she is used to the spotlight.

Her mate is Whitestripe and her sister, Swanstream, is mute so she cares about her a lot, and her biological father was the brother of Briarstar, the second SnowClan leader.
	* #### Other Important Characters:

		+ Rainstorm (Mid New-Leaf (325), 32–Mid Leaf-Fall (403), 38) – Petuniaheart & Snowstar (MC) – Birchstar's littermate and the third medicine cat – She is outgoing and exuberant like her littermate, however, she is more impacted by hardships than he is, as she is the medicine cat. She tries to do the best to help her Clan, being self-sacrificing, trying to support her niece, Birdwing, and supports her littermate all the way. Her previous failures and her sheer perseverance make her stronger and more powerful when it comes time to face the hardest calamities she has ever experienced, along with Birchstar.
		+ Quailclaw (Mid Leaf-Bare (322), 32–) – Petuniaheart & Snowstar (MC) – Primrosestorm's mate and Birchstar's only brother – He is normally kind and friendly, however, he is more introverted than Birchstar as he usually likes to spend time by himself and only talk about important things. But like Birchstar, he doesn't like to partake in drama or gossip, either. However, he wants to do his best to help his Clanmates, especially his apprentice (unofficial and later on official) and later mate Primrosestorm, his niece, Birdwing, and Swanstream, his brother's mate.
		+ Nightnose (Late New-Leaf (314), 31–) – Anna & Watereye – Stonetooth's mentor and Birdwing's father – He is usually friendly to everyone, however, when he became a mentor, he became very bitter nearly the entire time he was mentoring, as his apprentice was none other than the belligerent Stonetooth. Being the father of a mentally-slow cat also took its toll on him as he felt like he had to be ever watchful of his daughter. However, when all the challenges were done, he was only grateful to the people who helped him, and finally forgave Stonetooth when she died to save her former Clanmates.
		+ Peonyclaw (Late Leaf-Fall (296), 29–) – Wendy & Earl – Whitestripe's mother and Birchstar's mentor – She used the calm and peaceful sister as a kittypet, Penelope, similarly to Moon in the original group, until the day her and Flipsnow's sister, Whitelight, decided to join her mate, Blackwater, in SnowClan instead of her sisters in MoonClan. Not wanting to be considered weak and also so she can prove to Whitelight she could be more rambunctious than her, Penelope, now Peonypaw started to change her personality and become more outgoing and take initiative of her own destiny, especially as a senior warrior. She hated her daughter, Stonetooth, as it felt like she acted just like Whitelight and deserted MoonClan to join her mate, Desertflames, just like Whitelight had. She spilled her most important secret to her apprentice, Birchpaw, as she figured she could trust him with it, since she advocated for him to be her apprentice, after all. This secret came to be very important later on to Birchstar. However, she started to mellow down once her secret was out and her daughter had died, and especially when her son became the seventh deputy and apprentice the fourth leader.
