Hello everyone, thank you for checking out this story of mine that I've been thinking about doing for a while. I just want everyone to know that I won't be able to update as often as other authors out there as I am starting my freshman year of college in a few weeks. I will try my best to have some sort of a regular update speed but sometimes I may not get chapters up quickly.
This first chapter isn't really gonna be a chapter, its gonna be more of an introductory to the main character, and the clans. The four clans I have created are loosely based on the four clans in the books, but will be unique in different ways.
I also wanted you guys to choose which of the four clans the main character will be in, as I am having a hard time deciding, also feel free to create a character for me to put in the story, All I ask is that you Have their name, gender, position, and clan, as well as a basic description and personality ^^
Reviews will be appreciated, if you see a typo or something else I messed up on, feel free to tell me and I will do my best to fix it ^^
Main Character~Snowfoot
The main character is a she-cat born with the name Snowkit. She is a very lean, but very fluffy black cat with her paws being pure white with pale green eyes.(Basically she is like Blackstar, only with his colors switched)
Snowfoot is a very responsible cat. She knows how to do her duties and will usually always follow orders. That being said, if she feels like something isn't right, she will always let her clan-mates know that. She is a very courageous warrior and will defend her clan with tooth and claw, she is prepared to die for her clan if needed.
However, no character is without flaws, Snowfoot is quite often impulsive, and sometimes she doesn't always make the best decisions, and sometime she can be too wary and sometime aggressive to cats who seek out her clan
The Four Clans
Meadowclan~
The cats of this clan live on a vast meadow with a variety of flowers and herbs within the territory. They have several streams, rivers, and ponds dotted around, as well as a several trees of varying heights. These cats are quick on their feet, they are often the fastest of the four. They are kind to all but are just as fierce in battle. Their medicine cat is often willing to share many of their herbs due to the great quantity of them that are around their territory. Most of their prey are rabbits, but some have a taste for fish from the ponds, streams, or rivers, and sometimes the occasional predator bird.
Their camp is actually in a deep underground cave in the middle of the territory, inside it, there are many clefts in which the dens of the clan reside. to the right of the clan there are two large clefts within the walls where the warriors and apprentices reside, as well as a small stream of water trickling into a pool nearby. In the middle lies the prey pile, and towards the furthest wall the is a cleft that houses the elders. Beside the elders is another two clefts where the medicine cat den and the nursery reside in. To the left side is a huge slab of rock slightly elevated, that is where the clan leader addresses the clan, and a small path from the elevated rock leads to the cleft where the leader sleeps.
Amberclan~
These cats live high on a mountain range. Their paws have hardened for many moons past of traversing the rocky territory. The territory itself is scattered with small bushes and trees, and one large river spitting the territory in half which runs toward a large lake in the Rippleclan territory. These cats are the more hostile of the four, not liking when enemy cats trespass onto their territory. That being said, this clan is the one who suffers the most in leaf bare, as their prey which usually is plentiful in new-leaf and green-leaf, dwindles down. This clan also has an assortment of herbs, but do not like to share to the limited amount they have. Their prey is mostly rodents like mice, some fish in the river, and predator birds.
This clan too lives in a cave, but instead of deep in the ground, the cave is burrowed into the mountain, the entrance often difficult to spot unless you've lived there for many moons. Inside the cave, it is much more vast then the Meadowclan one. Off to the left are the dens for the Medicine Cat and the Elders and the Nursery, to the far wall lies the den for the leader, with a path towards the middle where the prey pile lay and where a large bolder sits, where the leader addresses the clan. To the right wall is where the Apprentices and the Warriors den are located. There is a small pool of water near the entrance to the cave is.
Ravenclan~
This clan lives in a heavily forested area. The cats here have strong back legs the enable them to jump very high. Their territory has very high trees, bramble, bushes, streams, ponds, and even abandoned Two-leg places. They have a variety of prey like mice, voles, forest birds, and the occasional rabbit. They have a distaste for fish, but will eat it if they must. Due to the many abandoned Two-leg places, they have the most amount of catnip available to them, and is often willing to share this precious herb, they also have access the a number of different herbs as well, but they have to be careful of death berries, as there are many of those scattered about. The clan is mostly neutral, and usually likes to hear both sides of a story before picking sides, if they even pick one.
the Ravenclan camp lies in a ravine, hidden by bramble and bushes. In the very far left of the clan lies a fallen, hollowed out log in which the Elders sleep in. Next to the log lies several slabs of rock perfect of sunbathing and sharing tongues. To the far end of camp is a small cave in the ground which houses the leader, beside the leader's den is a larger cave in which the Medicine Cat den resides. To the right side lies two dens made of twigs and bramble, the larger one for Warriors and the smaller one for Apprentices. Beside the Apprentice den lies the nursery burrowed underneath an ancient tree stump.
Rippleclan~
This clan lives in a lightly forested area with many streams and small rivers feeding into a huge lake in the middle of their territory. The clan has a few large rocks scattered around the territory that are popular hunting spots. The many streams and rivers, plus the lake, provides a plethora of fish for them to eat, as well as water voles, and the occasion mouse or rabbit. They also don't mind getting wet either and like the Meadowclan cats, they enjoy a good swim. Most of the trees within the territory are huge willow trees. The clan also has access to many different herbs, however often in New-leaf and Green-leaf, two-legs will plague their territory with their water monsters and strange dens propped everywhere.
Their camp lies within a circlet of willow trees, with their dens either burrowed within the trees or under the trees. To the left side lies the Elders Den, the Nursery, and the Medicine Cat's den. To the right side lies the Apprentices den and a small pond that a stream feeds into. To the very end of the camp is where the leader's den resides. In the middle of camp lies a stump which the prey is placed by. There is a small path leading away from it where a large log lies, which is where the clan leader addresses the clan.
