SwiftClan

''*Damn, really? Honestly, these SwiftClan cats are bold. Almost enjoyably bold. I'll be happy when we leave though. I've actually missed NeedleClan."*

## Clan Information

### List of Residents

List of all cats

**SwiftClan** is a group of cats that live upon the moorlands. They are the swiftest runners in the territories.

## Description

SwiftClan is mostly fierce, independent, and brave, often making bold remarks even if they are not necessarily true. Despite this, most of the Clan abides to the Warrior Code, being the most dedicated Clan to its rules. Their main prey includes rabbits, finches, and crows, and on occasions, hawks and eagles.

## Territory

SwiftClan lives in a sunlit moorland with very few trees and several bushes. Due to this, the Clan has very limited shelter, even within their own camp. Landmarks in this territory include:

* **Camp:** A small sunlit hole in the ground, formerly a pond several moons ago.
* **The Cornfield:** A cornfield attached to the barn, right near the Thunderpath. Every now and then, especially during summer, scarecrows can be placed to scare off cats and birds, and other potential threats towards the crops. Normally scares apprentices.
* **The Beach:** A beach that connects itself to NeedleClan.
* **The Barn:** A barn connected to the cornfield; a few decades old as it seems. Cobwebs seem to decorate the place, and rats and spiders creep around on occasions.
* **The Twolegplace:** A large Twolegplace filled with Twolegs and kittypets alike. Due to this, kittypets often wander into SwiftClan territory.

The camp is a small gap within the fields, dusty and dry. Within the center of the camp sits Dust Rock, where the leader stands upon.

## Eras

### Swiftstar

Swiftstar's reign was the start of SwiftClan's era. His deputy was Houndtwister, while his medicine cat remains unclear.

He was heavily impacted by the death of his very close friend, Twister. As he was already trying to make a new Clan, he made his specifically to dedicate Twister, even renaming his deputy Houndtwister after him. He was remembered as stubborn and feisty, but also kind deep inside.

### Houndstar

Houndstar was leader of SwiftClan after Swiftstar. Her deputies were Crabclaw and Mousetuft. She was only there for a short period of time, there to exile Starcloud's apprentice, Widowpaw. In response to this, Starcloud had killed her deputy, Crabclaw, and she appointed Mousetuft as the new one. She was eventually killed by Starcloud while on patrol.

### Mousestar

Mousestar was made leader at a young age, shortly after her kit, Twilightpaw, is made an apprentice. Her deputies were Frogdusk and Ferretbelly, and her medicine cat was Grayriver. She was polite, steady, and patient during her time as leader. She watched in horror as Twilightmask tried to kill her Clan, but ultimately failed. She later died of hypothermia that leaf-bare, Ferretbelly succeeding her.

### Ferretstar

Ferretstar was the predecessor of Pepperstar, and one of SwiftClan's most noble leaders. His deputy was Pepperspeckle, and his medicine cats were Grayriver and Mousewing. He had served for a decently long period of time, known to be a noble and ferocious leader, one of the fiercest in the Clans. However, when he did eventually pass due to an illness, he passed his leadership onto Pepperspeckle.

### Pepperstar

Pepperstar is SwiftClan's current leader. His deputies were Bubblepuddle and Skunktail, and his medicine cats were Mousewing, Eveningsun *(although unofficially)*, and Nibblegnaw. He was dedicated, understanding, and fiercely loyal to the Warrior Code and SwiftClan itself. He had exiled his first medicine cat, Mousewing, along with his friend, Lavenderleaf, after they attempted to kidnap Cinderpaw, daughter of Badgermask, who was formerly a warrior of SwiftClan, and Mousewing's crush. Since then, SwiftClan had faced a medicine cat crisis, and Eveningsun had unofficially stepped in until an apprentice finally volunteered, Nibblepaw.
