Hello and welcome to my fanmade Warrior Cats series, Dawn to Dusk. I'm little-pine-trees, otherwise known as Pinetree or just Pine! This is the first book of my series titled Rising Dawn. This is my first time writing a Warrior story, so I hope you'll all enjoy it!

Depending on how much reception this gets, I might even add in some of your guys' OCs into the story as well! So far, I only have the allegiances made up for ThunderClan and ShadowClan, but of course WindClan and RiverClan will be making appearances, so if you'd like for your character to make an appearance, just let me know and I'll see what I can do!


ALLEGIANCES

THUNDERCLAN

LEADER Sunstar

Sunstar is a large dark ginger tabby tom with bright amber eyes. Known for his undying loyalty to his Clan, Sunstar has a seething hatred towards ShadowClan for unknown reasons. The truth is, he used to be best friends with ShadowClan's leader, Moonstar, until Moonstar decided they had to cut ties. They had met at a Gathering during a widespread drought around the lake, and the two toms worked together in order to bring back the water to the Clans. This sparked a great friendship between Sunstar and Moonstar, and the two would often meet in secret and share tongues and stories of their days. However, their relationship quickly became sour when Sunstorm became Sunstar, and Moonheart become Moonstar. The ShadowClan leader decided to end their friendship and their secret meetings so that they could focus on their Clans. This wounded Sunstar more than he would care to admit, and his immense sadness morphed into anger and hatred for all things ShadowClan
He is the son of Gorsestep and Roseberry (ThunderClan's former Medicine Cat) and is the adopted son of Frostcloud. He is the brother of Hareleap and Whitewhisker. He is mates with Poppyheart and is the father of Dawnkit and Skykit. He is the uncle of Brightflower and Robinpelt, and is the great-uncle of Mistpaw and Thornpaw

DEPUTY Eagleclaw

Eagleclaw is a dark golden-brown tabby tom with piercing amber eyes. A serious and no-nonsense sort of tom, Eagleclaw is almost loyal to a fault. He would do anything for his Clan, and especially his beloved family. He and his siblings, Molespots and Hollynose, grew up basically without any parents, because their mother and father were often too busy arguing with each other. Because of this, Eagleclaw was forced to grow up faster than his littermates, and became a paternal figure for them when needed. Because of this, Eagleclaw is always one to enforce the importance of family to other cats
He is the son of Darkfang and Patchnose, and is the brother of Molespots and Hollynose. He is mates with Swiftstream and is the father of Cloudpaw

MEDICINE CAT Dappleleaf

Dappleleaf is a pretty, long-legged dark tortoiseshell she-cat with green eyes. Dappleleaf always knew her calling was the path of a Medicine Cat. It pained her to follow her destiny, as she had always dreamed of having a mate and kits to call her own. However, her tie to StarClan was too strong to ignore, and so she reluctantly took on the job. Although she does love helping her Clanmates out and even saving their lives, she is still stuck to the idea of having her own little family, and so she may sometimes try to live vicariously through her sister, Poppyheart, and even treats her sister's kits, Dawnkit and Skykit, as if they were her own kits. She is a bit delusional in this sense
She is the daughter of Thistlestorm and Maplecloud, and is the sister of Barktail and Poppyheart. She is the aunt of Dawnkit and Skykit

WARRIORS (toms and she-cats without kits)

Cedarstrike
Cedarstrike is an amber-eyed dark brown tabby tom with a black muzzle, chest, and tail-tip and white toes and ear-tips. A senior Warrior, Cedarstrike is not as agile and quick as he used to be in his prime, but he's still a force to be reckoned with. Just about as grumpy as any Elder, he is very different from his younger brother, Hawkflight, who had always been more of the 'brains' of their duo rather than the 'brawn' – That title would go to Cedarstrike himself
He is the son of Bramblepelt and Littlecloud, and is the brother of Hawkflight. He is mates with Birdfeather, and is the father of Breezesplash and Swiftstream. He is the grandfather of Cloudpaw

Hawkflight
Hawkflight is a small brown tabby tom with a white chest blaze, paws, and underbelly with bright amber eyes. Hawkflight has always been a free thinker, and even a bit on the "odd" side. For example, he took up a mate, Ripplepelt, who was nearly two seasons older than him, and is often the cat who strikes up conversation with enemy Warriors in order to hear their side of the story. Hawkflight is quite diplomatic in this sense, and he would rather talk things over before launching into battle, unlike his brother
He is the son of Bramblepelt and Littlecloud, and is the brother of Cedarstrike. He is mates with Ripplepelt, and is the father of Rainblossom and Fernface

Whitewhisker
Whitewhisker is a bushy-tailed pure white tom with blue eyes. Whitewhisker lost his faith in StarClan a long time ago, when he first learned that his real mother, Roseberry, was actually the previous Medicine Cat of ThunderClan, meaning that his parents broke the Medicine Cat code willingly by having him and his brother. After learning this, Whitewhisker lost faith in StarClan when he realized that his parents were never punished for their crimes, and instead that punishment fell upon him and his brother, Sunstar. Whitewhisker knows he is cursed, as his beloved adopted mother died, and his brother, Hareleap, was taken next. Sunstar went crazed with grief after losing his brother and best friend and is now extremely paranoid towards ShadowClan. Even Whitewhisker's own mate, Daisybreeze, is unable to have any more kits, as she nearly died kitting Brightflower and Robinpelt. Whitewhisker fears greatly for his kits and grandkits, as they are next in line to be affected by his misfortune
He is the son of Gorsestep and Roseberry, and is the adopted son of Frostcloud. He is the brother of Hareleap and Sunstar. He is mates with Daisybreeze, and is the father of Brightflower and Robinpelt. He is the grandfather of Mistpaw and Thornpaw

Daisybreeze
Daisybreeze is a slender pale cream-colored tabby she-cat with soft blue eyes. Meek and humble, Daisybreeze is often times more of a lover than a fighter. However, she will not hesitate to fight for her mate and her kits, of whom she would protect to the death. Daisybreeze would love nothing more than to have more kits, but she is unable to since she has a birthing issue where she could possibly lose her life during kitting. Therefore, she loves her two kits, Brightflower and Robinpelt, immensely, and even treats them as if they were still only 2 moons old
She is the daughter of Birchstripe and Sootwing, and is the sister of Cinderblaze. She is mates with Whitewhisker, and is the mother of Brightflower and Robinpelt. She is the grandmother of Mistpaw and Thornpaw. She is currently mentoring Cloudpaw

Brightflower
Brightflower is a white she-cat with ginger-and-black dapples on her head, back, and tail and has green eyes. Naturally more outgoing than her sister, Robinpelt, Brightflower is a popular she-cat both in her own Clan, and even amongst other Clans, especially during the Gatherings. She is blissfully unaware of how her sister truly feels about her, and seems to believe that her and Robinpelt are best friends. She can be quite naïve and innocent in this sense, as she seems to think that everyone just naturally loves her
She is the daughter of Whitewhisker and Daisybreeze, and is the sister of Robinpelt. She is mates with Pinefur, and is the mother of Mistpaw and Thornpaw

Robinpelt
Robinpelt is a small brown she-cat with a ginger blaze on her chest with amber eyes. Jaded and pessimistic like her father, Robinpelt is the overshadowed sister of Brightflower. Her sister seems to have everything that Robinpelt wants – A mate, kits, and a Clan who loves her. Robinpelt feels extremely jealous about this, and over the seasons she has grown very tired and bitter towards her sister, of whom she used to be very close to. Robinpelt has felt urges to just up and leave ThunderClan altogether, and firmly believes that if she left, no one would notice or care
She is the daughter of Whitewhisker and Daisybreeze, and is the sister of Brightflower. She is the aunt of Mistpaw and Thornpaw

Brownfoot
Brownfoot is a dark brown tabby tom with white forepaws and blue eyes. Possibly one of the best hunters in the Clan, Brownfoot may be quick on his feet, but not so much in his brain. He's a little scatterbrained and even downright ditzy, but his heart is always in the right place. He has had a secret crush on Brightflower since he was young, but unfortunately it was his brother, Pinefur, who would eventually woo Brightflower and steal her away from him. Now, the brothers have a strained relationship and rarely ever speak to each other
He is the son of Volestep and Brindletail, and is the brother of Pinefur. He is the uncle of Mistpaw and Thornpaw

Pinefur
Pinefur is a handsome dark ginger tabby tom with a lighter ginger muzzle, chest, and underbelly and white ear-tips and toes and amber eyes. Pinefur may be a pretty face, but his attitude isn't nearly as good-looking as he is. Pinefur was always aware of his brother, Brownfoot, and his crush on Brightflower, but it certainly didn't stop Pinefur from wooing her anyways. Because of this, the relationship between the brothers are severely strained. The truth is, Pinefur always felt like Brownfoot was the "better" sibling, because Brownfoot always showed an immense progress in hunting, while Pinefur was just known for being good-looking. And his bitterness towards his brother would eventually be what pushed Pinefur to steal Brightflower away from Brownfoot
He is the son of Volestep and Brindletail, and is the brother of Brownfoot. He is mates with Brightflower, and is the father of Mistpaw and Thornpaw

Cinderblaze
Cinderblaze is a dark ashy gray tabby tom with darker speckles and tabby stripes on his head and back, and has blue eyes. A tom with very little patience and mirth, Cinderblaze has a sharp tongue and a brooding attitude. He acts distant from his Clanmates, and his guarded personality makes him very hard to get along with. Still, Cinderblaze is a valued and fierce fighter, and his words are about as sharp as his claws. Much to his chagrin, his fellow Warrior, Rainblossom, has been trying to tear down his walls and get to know him, but it's proving to be more of challenge than anything
He is the son of Birchstripe and Sootwing, and is the brother of Daisybreeze. He is the uncle of Brightflower and Robinpelt, and is the great-uncle of Mistpaw and Thornpaw

Molespots
Molespots is a dark brown tom with lighter brown splotches and amber eyes. Molespots was never quite the most attractive out of the bunch, nor the strongest or smartest. He likes to think of himself as just being "average" – nothing special about him. So imagine his surprise when Fernface, one of the prettiest she-cats in ThunderClan, begins to show interest in him. Needless to say, Molespots fell head over heels for her, and dotes on her like a mother dotes on her kit. He is oblivious to the real reason why Fernface showed interest in him, but even if he was aware, he would probably forgive her anyways
He is the son of Darkfang and Patchnose, and is the brother of Eagleclaw and Hollynose. He is mates with Fernface. He is currently mentoring Thornpaw

Barktail
Barktail is a dark russet-brown tabby tom with a single darker stripe down his back with hazel eyes. Best friends with his kithood denmate, Hollynose, Barktail is rarely seen without the black-and-white she-cat by his side. Much to their amusement, most of the Clan seems to think they are mates, but Barktail actually has a crush on Rainblossom. Rarely ever serious and almost always in a joking mood, Barktail and his partner-in-crime, Hollynose are like the "Clan clowns" and have the rare talent of being able to cheer up their Clanmates any time
He is the son of Thistlestorm and Maplecloud, and is the brother of Dappleleaf and Poppyheart. He is the uncle of Dawnkit and Skykit

Hollynose
Hollynose is a fluffy black-and-white she-cat with green eyes. Despite never admitting it aloud, Hollynose is actually in love with her best friend since kithood, Barktail. She knows that he doesn't feel the same way towards her, though, and so she'd much rather keep what they have now than taint it by admitting her true feelings. She is very playful and lighthearted, and her humor easily bounces off of Barktail's. They never fail to lighten the mood with their humorous dramatics when need be
She is the daughter of Darkfang and Patchnose, and is the sister of Eagleclaw and Molespots. She is the aunt of Cloudpaw. She is currently mentoring Mistpaw

Swiftstream
Swiftstream is a pretty pale blue-grey tabby she-cat with a white muzzle, paws, and chest and blue-green eyes. Swiftstream has always been more mature than her younger brother, Breezesplash. Still, she has her own playful side to her, one that appears when she is happily teasing those close to her. Swiftstream actually has half-Clan blood in her, as her mother, Birdfeather, was half-RiverClan. This is something that Swiftstream is quite touchy about, as she wants nothing to do with RiverClan at all
She is the daughter of Cedarstrike and Birdfeather, and is the sister of Breezesplash. She is mates with Eagleclaw and is the mother of Cloudpaw. She is the aunt of Applekit and Buzzardkit

Breezesplash
Breezesplash is a silver tabby tom with dark blue eyes. Fun-loving and impulsive, Breezesplash is a young Warrior with a knack of still acting like a 5 moon old kit. He is quite playful and is often seen spending time with his kits, Applekit and Buzzardkit, of whom he loves playing and goofing about with. He has RiverClan blood in him, as his mother was half-RiverClan. Unlike his sister, though, Breezesplash does not care about it and is confident that he as proven himself to be a loyal ThunderClan warrior
He is the son of Cedarstrike and Birdfeather, and is the brother of Swiftstream. He is mates with Specklefur, and is the father of Applekit and Buzzardkit. He is the uncle of Cloudpaw

Rainblossom
Rainblossom is a small pale grey she-cat with darker dapples and dark grey paws and tail-tip and has blue-green eyes. Rainblossom is very sweet and forgiving, and treats everybody – even cats from other Clans – like a friend. It's this kindness that really sets Rainblossom apart from other cats, as her actions and words are truly sincere and genuine. She has made it her goal to befriend ThunderClan's resident grouch, Cinderblaze, and it may or may not be because she has a secret crush on him
She is the daughter of Hawkflight and Ripplepelt, and is the sister of Fernface

Sorrelcloud
Sorrelcloud is a pale tan-cream tabby she-cat with amber eyes. Sorrelcloud can be described as being a frustrated Medicine Cat. She had always wanted to become a Medicine Cat, but she just did not possess the skill needed. She still likes to help Dappleleaf out whenever she can, but knows that she will never fully be a Medicine Cat. She admits that she wanted to be a Medicine Cat because she grew up feeling like she was unwanted, as though she didn't have a family to call her own, since her mother was extremely distant towards her two daughters, and Sorrelcloud thought that being ThunderClan's Medicine Cat would give her a reason to be loved by everyone, which is what she truly wants
She is the daughter of Shrewtooth and Pebblefrost, and is the sister of Specklefur. She is the aunt of Applekit and Buzzardkit

APPRENTICES (more than six moons, in training to become warriors)

Cloudpaw
Cloudpaw is a white tom with pale silver-grey splotches, dark gray paws, muzzle and tail-tip and blue eyes. Cloudpaw has big dreams of becoming Leader one day, and is very proud of the fact that his father, Eagleclaw, is the Deputy of ThunderClan - It's something that he just loves to boast about, especially to his denmates. He and his fellow apprentice, Thornpaw, are often competing against each other
He is the son of Eagleclaw and Swiftstream. His mentor is Daisybreeze

Mistpaw
Mistpaw is a pure slate blue-gray she-cat with blue eyes. Unlike her younger brother, Thornpaw, Mistpaw is mature for her age and takes her apprenticeship very seriously. She acts like an older sister towards Dawnkit and Skykit, since she seems to think her own brother is a mouse-brain, as he never quite listens to her advice
She is the daughter of Brightflower and Pinefur, and is the sister of Thornpaw. Her mentor is Hollynose

Thornpaw
Thornpaw is a golden-brown tabby tom with amber eyes. Arrogant and bossy, Thornpaw considers himself to be rivals with his denmate, Cloudpaw. A bit rough around the edges, Thornpaw is often getting into all sorts of trouble, of which he fruitlessly tries to drag his sister, Mistpaw, into with him
He is the son of Brightflower and Pinefur, and is the brother of Mistpaw. His mentor is Molespots

QUEENS (she-cats expecting or nursing kits)

Poppyheart
Poppyheart is a dark tortoiseshell she-cat with amber eyes. Poppyheart is a loving and caring maternal figure. She is the type of cat who would put her own family's needs in front of her own. She is quite selfless, which might just prove to be her downfall more than anything else
She is the daughter of Thistlestorm and Maplecloud, and is the sister of Dappleleaf and Barktail. She is mates with Sunstar, and is the mother of Dawnkit and Skykit

Fernface
Fernface is a beautiful light blue-gray tabby she-cat with green eyes. Fernface is pretty, and she knows it. She has always been quite conceited, and often times preferred not to get her paws dirty in any way. She likes the life of a Queen more compared to that of a Warrior – but underestimating her as being just a priss would be a mistake, because if you were to hurt her loved ones, the claws would come out. Fernface more or less used Molespots, since she just wanted to get with his brother, Eagleclaw, but she eventually did genuinely fall in love with Molespots when she got to know him
She is the daughter of Hawkflight and Ripplepelt, and is the sister of Rainblossom. She is mates with Molespots, and is expecting his kits

Specklefur
Specklefur is a dark cream-colored she-cat with darker speckles on her back, tail, and face and has blue eyes. Specklefur never pictured herself being a mother and a mate. Her own mother was a very standoffish and unsupportive towards her and her sister, Sorrelcloud, and their father died when they were young. Specklefur figured she would grow up to be old and alone, but Breezesplash came into her life and has managed to make her smile ever since then with his goofy personality. Now, she feels more motivated than ever to raise her kits, Applekit and Buzzardkit, with all the love she can give
She is the daughter of Shrewtooth and Pebblefrost, and is the sister of Sorrelcloud. She is mates with Breezesplash and is the mother of Applekit and Buzzardkit

KITS (younger than six moons)

Dawnkit
Dawnkit is a blue-eyed, pale ginger she-cat with darker ginger tabby patches on her head, back, hindlegs, and tail and has a white muzzle, toes, chest and underbelly. Dawnkit feels very protective over her blind sister, Skykit, and it is Dawnkit's goal to one day become a Warrior along with her sister. She and Skykit share a telepathic bond with each other, so Dawnkit always knows what her sister is thinking, even if she doesn't voice it aloud
She is the daughter of Sunstar and Poppyheart, and is the sister of Skykit

Skykit
Skykit is a light silver-blue tabby she-cat with darker gray ear-tips, toes, and tail-tip and has silver mottled tabby stripes and cloudy, blind blue eyes. Having been born blind, Skykit is very shy and timid and is practically inseparable from her sister, Dawnkit, of whom she relies on for support. She feels like an outcast amongst her Clan, as she cannot fully become a real Warrior due to her impairment. She and her sister share a telepathic bond with each other
She is the daughter of Sunstar and Poppyheart, and is the sister of Dawnkit

Applekit
Applekit is a fluffy white she-cat with bright ginger tabby splotches and green eyes. Happy-go-lucky and carefree, Applekit is a feisty little she-kit who is enjoying her time as a kit. She is very close to her father, Breezesplash, of whom she loves to play with. She loves teasing her brother, Buzzardkit, although sometimes she might take it too far. Unfortunately, she never manages to get punished for it, since her father is too easy on her
She is the daughter of Breezesplash and Specklefur, and is the sister of Buzzardkit

Buzzardkit
Buzzardkit is a dark grey tabby tom with black paws and ear-tips and amber eyes. There is nothing Buzzardkit loves more than pretending he is the Leader of ThunderClan. This kit dreams big and is a bit ambitious in the sense that he would love to become the head of the Clan one day, and even though his sister, Applekit, likes to tease him and say his dreams will never come true, Buzzardkit refuses to lose hope. He is often times found daydreaming by himself in the Nursery
He is the son of Breezesplash and Specklefur, and is the brother of Applekit

ELDERS (former warriors and queens, now retired)

Volestep
Volestep is an aging dark brown-and-russet tabby tom with amber eyes. Volestep is old and grumpy, but he loves telling stories to anyone who is willing to listen. Even though he's elderly, he still insists that he could fight for his Clan if he ever had to. Volestep loves to mess with the apprentices by making him check him for ticks every single day, if only because he finds it amusing, and also because he gets a bit lonely in the Elders den now and again
He is the son of Liontail and Dewfrost, and is the brother of Darkfang and Thistlestorm. He is mates with Brindletail, and is the father of Brownfoot and Pinefur. He is the grandfather of Mistpaw and Thornpaw. He is the uncle of Dappleleaf, Barktail, and Poppyheart, and is the great-uncle of Dawnkit and Skykit

Ripplepelt
Ripplepelt is a once-pretty pale cream tabby she-cat with mottled black tabby stripes and black ear-tips and forepaws, along with amber eyes. Ripplepelt is patient and kindhearted, often times trying to help out around the camp as much as she can. She likes feeling useful in some way, and she even says that laying around and doing nothing all day feels so strange and different compared to her previous life as an active Warrior
She is the daughter of Bluetail and Sparrowspots, and is the sister of Gorsestep. She is mates with Hawkflight, and is the mother of Rainblossom and Fernface. She is the aunt of Sunstar, Hareleap, and Whitewhisker, and is the great-aunt of Dawnkit, Skykit, Robinpelt, and Brightflower. She is the great-great-aunt of Mistpaw and Thornpaw

Birchstripe
Birchstripe is a pale brown tabby tom with a single white blaze on his chest and green eyes. Birchstripe is able to talk for hours and hours and hours at a given time. That's why it's best to try and escape anytime he opens his mouth to tell a story. Birchstripe doesn't seem to even notice how much he can ramble, much to some of amusement or exasperation of some of his Clanmates. His denmate, Volestep, likes to joke that Birchstripe even talks in his sleep
He is the son of Flamenose and Silverbird, and is the brother of Shrewtooth. He is mates with Sootwing, and is the father of Daisybreeze and Cinderblaze. He is the grandfather of Robinpelt and Brightflower, and is the great-grandfather of Mistpaw and Thornpaw. He is the uncle of Sorrelcloud and Specklefur, and is the great-uncle of Applekit and Buzzardkit


And there you have it - The full allegiances for ThunderClan! You don't have to read how they're related to each other, since I mainly added that for myself so that I don't end up pairing uncle/niece or cousin/cousin together accidentally. But I would recommend reading all their little descriptions/backstories. It's a pet peeve of mine when people make a Clan and add in random cats as if they were props or something, instead of fleshing them out and making them actual characters with personalities and backstories of their own. So don't be surprised if there's little subplots going on in the background while the main plot is playing out~
Oh, and the reason all of their names are bolded is for memorization purposes - the names stick out and help you remember which cat is which. Hopefully it actually works! I won't be bolding names in the actual story, but definitely for the allegiances ^^

So, my question for all you guys is: Who is your favorite cat from ThunderClan so far? Who is your least favorite?
I'd love to see what you guys think of TC! I wanted to make them all different from each other, so hopefully you guys will enjoy! And next chapter will be the ShadowClan allegiances, so look forward to that~
