**SkyClan** is one of the five groups of cats that live in the Mountain Territories. They are the Clan that has had to move their Clan multiple times, with the most recent one being the journey to the Mountain Territories. Their founding leader was Skystar, also known as Clear Sky.

# Clan Personality & Features

### Before the Civil War

SkyClan cats were known for their friendliness and diversity of backgrounds in their Clan. After their destruction during Spiderstar's reign, they had to rebuild themselves using a wide range of cats from the nearby Twolegplace and forest. They were accepting of outsiders due to this reason. When a massive flood destroyed the Lake Territories, and the Clans were forced to relocate, SkyClan cats led the charge and helped treat cats who were injured along the way. Because of this, many SkyClan cats had medical knowledge, despite not being medicine cats.

### After the Civil War

Mistlestar ended the war between the two halves of SkyClan by being elected leader. SkyClan cats became more aggressive towards outsiders and weren't as willing to help the other Clans. Daylight warriors were kicked out, except for Jingletoe, who decided to stay with SkyClan. The mediator role was removed, as Mistlestar saw it as worthless. SkyClan had changed their ways to fit more with the other Clans.

SkyClan cats have always had stronger legs than the other Clans that assist them in climbing trees and leaping between branches. They have large, sturdy paws and long claws that they have to replace often. Most cats are tabbies and brown, which helps them blend in with the trees.

# Territory

Map of SkyClan territory

SkyClan territory is a dense mixed forest with most of the forest being coniferous near the north, and deciduous near the south. The territory is rocky and uneven, with small streams usually running through near the base of large dirt cliffs. Though other Clans may find the habitat unsuitable, SkyClan cats love the challenges their home presents them.

* **Camp** - SkyClan camp is in a dirt ravine with dens lining each side. The camp is rather long, so it takes a while for cats to get to one side to the other.
* **Crumbled Cliff** - once a large cliff that SkyClan climbed on top of to see their new home, now a crumbled pile of rocks after a storm caused a rockslide. The land is still unsteady, so no cats dare to go close.
* **Training Hollow**- a rocky hollow surrounded by sand and dirt that apprentices train in. Mentors usually sit down on the rocks overlooking the hollow to get a good view of their apprentice's progress.
* **Ancient Pine** - a massive pine tree that has continued to grow ever since SkyClan arrived in their territory.
* **Frigid Pond** - a small pond that's always cold, no matter what season it is.
* **Dried-up River** - a dried up river that separates SkyClan and ThunderClan territories. Many moons ago, the river was large and deadly, as in the middle of a battle during a storm, many cats ended up drowning. It's said StarClan caused the river to dry up to create peace between the two Clans.

SkyClan mainly hunts small birds, like sparrows or wrens, and tree-dwelling mammals likes squirrels. Most of the time, SkyClan will hunt in the trees since their prey never expects them to be there, but during Leafbare they will move to the ground since they have no more cover in the leaves. The few cats who haven't properly learned how to climb trees have a blast during Leafbare, able to outshine their peers with their hunting.

Foxes and badgers are the main threats to the Clan, with birds of prey like owls or hawks being threats to kits or small apprentices. Most of the time the predators don't intrude on SkyClan camp, but if they get close enough they will be attacked. Very rarely a stray dog will wander near SkyClan camp and have to be chased off. They're usually not that large and are from twolegplace, so they don't pose much of a threat.
