BRIAR X AMBER SHADOWCLAN LITTER
The Great Battle left many reeling from the deaths of loved ones. Briar, the very cat who had called for the war, was not exempt from this suffering. Her long-time mate and the father to her older litter of children was murdered by one of the pine cats during the fight. To make matters worse, it's shortly after the battle that she learns she's pregnant with their second litter of kits. Now a single mom and leader of ShadowClan, she has to tackle grieving her mate and raising her kits all by herself.
Once the kits are born, Briar will be sure to tell them plenty of stories about their father. Amber will not be an unfamiliar name to them and she'll be sure they feel like they know him well despite him not being there to watch them grow!
RELATIONS
The kits' mother is Briar, the leader of ShadowClan.
Their father was Amber, a founding member of StarClan.
Their aunt, Briar's sister, is Bone, the ShadowClan medicine cat.
They have four older siblings who are 20 moons: Dusk, Honey, Pitch, and Thistle.
GENETICS
Sire: LH cinnamon rosette tabby w/ low white (carrying solid and dilute).
Dam: SH black (carrying longhair, dilute and chocolate).
Kits can be black, black tabby, chocolate, chocolate tabby, blue, blue tabby, lilac, or lilac tabby.
- kits can be shorthaired or longhaired.
- kits can have no white or low white.
- tabby kits will display a rosette pattern.
- kits without white can have any realistic eye color besides blue; kits with white can have any realistic eye color.
- all kits will carry cinnamon; shorthaired kits will carry longhair; tabby kits will carry solid; non-dilute kits may or may not carry dilute.
NOTE: While not listed in the genetics, Briar and her sister Bone have spiky fur that could be inherited by the kits! Some of the kits in the older litter have this too.
NAMING THEMES
I would really like applicants to keep to this list of names, or at least something very similar to one of these names! So, if you have any questions pertaining to the names, please don't hesitate to reach out and ask!
Kits will take the suffix -kit, as they will be born after Briar receives the -star suffix and cats start taking suffixes!
Amber - To honor her fallen mate. I would absolutely LOVE for one of the kits to take this name.
Twilight (or anything similar) - for her mother's name.
Marrow, Dust (or anything similar) - to relate to her sister's name.
Thorn, Bracken, Nettle, etc. - To go along with the names Briar & Thistle, would likely give these names to kits with spiky fur.
Raven, Crow - Birds are her favorite prey animal, and these types of birds are seen the most around their territory. Other bird names (Robin, Cardinal, etc. would be acceptable too).
Marsh, Swamp, Mud, Lagoon, Lichen, Moss/y, etc. - Any type of name that fits with the swamps, for her home!
Frog, Toad, Snake, Adder, Lizard, etc. - Any type of name that fits the prey animals most commonly eaten. Again, to honor her home!
Shade, Black, Dark, Night, etc. - Any dark-sounding names to fit the shadowy swamps!
Lavender, Lilac, Violet, etc. - Any purple names for her favorite color!
