LONERBORN SKYCLAN LITTER
From beyond the Clans, past SkyClan's Twolegplace, resides a rogue group led by an iron-fist tom.. this is where our story begins. Huge and special thank you to Rae for collaborating with me for this as the queen, and for writing the backstory below!
CW for mentions of death and maiming.
Lovage was born to two loving parents insignificantly. Her upbringing had lent her all she knew of the world - a sheltered view, no doubt, but one of starlit wonders and hopes. Her parents lived to an old age and as Lovage grew in her little colony, she never wanted for more than she had.
At some point early into her adulthood, she fell for a tom. Laurel, he was named, and their love flourished beneath open skies. Those in their colony knew of their courtship, and yet still Lovage found herself confronting the fact of her betrothal. Nightshade, the leader of their rogue group, confessed to her in front of all present. And fearing for her life, she reciprocated. She told Laurel that she cannot see him any further, breaking his heart in the meanwhile.
Moons passed and Lovage rekindled her friendship with Laurel, all whilst enjoying her life as Nightshade's mate. She slipped away at night to see her former lover, however unfortunately it seems that she did not do so carefully. Lovage learned of her pregnancy and shortly after did her fellow rogues expose her escapades. Nightshade did not react well.
The rogue leader had Laurel killed in front of the entire colony, Lovage included. Turning on her, he hooked his claws into her eye, marring the flesh around it. He then told Lovage that she would be kept alive until their children are weaned - and only then will she be “set free.” Lovage in all of her moons living in beside Nightshade knew what this meant - a death was coming her way. And there was nothing she could do.
In the interim, Lovage gave birth to a healthy litter and through word of mouth learned of the Clans - large, colony-like groups that fostered love and care for one another. They were just beyond the twoleggedplace - they only had to follow the stars… Lovage made her decision then that in the dead of night, she would escape. She would take her young and leave.
And leave she did. Regretfully Lovage killed her guard and guided young, crying kittens out of their lot of land as quickly as she could. Now, days later she arrives at SkyClan's border, tired and hungry with her children, hoping for some sort of asylum.

- This is not FCFS. Choosing date is July 20th. This may be extended depending on how many forms are finished closer to the date.
- Kits will be intro'd at two moons aging realistically every 20th. They will be intro'd in a specific joining thread within a few days of the choosing date - please do not post with your kitten in SkyClan before this thread is posted!
- There is no post quota and casual characters are welcome, but I reserve the right to rehome slots if kits are not played for two consecutive months without notice from the player.
- Disabilities and birth defects are allowed with adequate research and must be played out appropriately and realistically.
- Being a casual litter, kits are expected to stay alive and in SkyClan until at least ~mid apprenticehood (9 moons give or take), at which point they may leave, die, etc. if a plot calls for it.
- Please stick to the naming theme and genetics! The theme is woodland plants and trees; animals and descriptor names (color, size) are not in the loner group's custom. Names not on the list are allowed as long as they follow the theme and are found in TT's regions! Kits may be giving the -kit suffix by their mother after joining SkyClan, and will be expected to have traditional apprentice and warrior names from thereon out.
- Kittens will know where they came from, and know of their father and the situation they were born into. To combat this, they are taught a sort of dreamy way to perceive the world - that being said, there is room for both angst and positive dynamics (or any other) based on how each kitten grows to perceive their background and their new home!
- There is no form, but please include the basics and what kind of dynamics you're planning your kit to have with the queen and their siblings!
