RACCOONSTRIPE x NIGHTBIRD

THUNDERCLAN LEAD WARRIOR LITTER READOPT

RACCOONSTRIPE was born Raccoon to a recently widowed Howling Wind in the marshes. Born to the youngest litter to a sprawling family, Raccoon grew up with an alliance to first Hare Whiskers, and then Briar, and when the time came to clash with the pine colony at Fourtrees, he fought with gusto. Raccoon took the life of an apprentice-aged pine colonist, and then killed the cat's mother; his violent war crimes haunt his dreams even now. Once Emberstar claimed the forest for ThunderClan, Raccoon and his family joined her in the oak forest, and he was given the name Raccoonstripe. Raccoonstripe spent his days womanizing and dreaming of the day he'd take over ThunderClan, until he ascended to lead warrior rank alongside his cool-natured friend, Nightbird.

NIGHTBIRD was born Night, to two loners named Stone and Hawk. Night suffered at the paws of jealous and vengeful older siblings, and after an injury to her leg, she fled her family and wound up in Emberstar's ThunderClan forest. After healing, she was renamed Nightbird for her swiftness and agility. Nightbird proved herself to be an efficient, logical-minded warrior, and before long, she was promoted by Howlingstar to lead warrior of ThunderClan alongside her somewhat sleazy friend, Raccoonstripe. After the forest became plagued with yellowcough, Nightbird volunteered herself to go on the Great Journey to the mountains to seek the cure. She returned, and Raccoonstripe asked her to become his mate.

  ⋆⁺₊ little webbie is the epitome of over energetic extravert. she is near fond of any cat that she meets often bothering them to learn everything about them or what they have to offer. especially when she is being taught and her little face scrunches up in pure focus as she basically inhales every detail that she can cram into her tiny mind. Always open and friendly she will try and make friends with just about anyone meets and often times if they don't like her she will take that upon herself and do better next time. Hoping that they will come to like her. She has a way of trusting others far too easily which in turn can make her quite gullible and easy to trick but as she grows she will tend to have a little bit morr caution in that area. Everything that she does she will put her heart and soul into. Making sure nothing is out of place and that she has mastered something flawlessly. Always up for anything and accomplishing her tasks in a manner some might not have even thought to try. But because of her high every the poor child can be quick to decide something and run with it. Easily launching herself into a situation she may not be prepared for or even know how to handle. Waiting is a hard reality for her to fo as well, often making her back leg thump against the ground rapidly with the clear intent of wanting to go, energy in every part of her being. To launch herself out there. Then sometimes but rather infrequently she can have a streak of stubbornness, wanting to listen to herself and not to others.​

This will become better suited for her style where she will never stay in one place, evading and tiring out her opponent and working hard on never being caught by her enemy or sparring partner. Making herself quick and decisive with her strikes and movements. Hard hitters will be her weakness if they manage to catch a hold of her.​

To befriend web is to have a friend for life and it will take something very tragic to mess that up. She will always be easy to talk to and get along with. When it comes to other clans she will hold that same trust towards them, often wanting to meet new individuals and share stories. Becauae of recent events she harbors a fear and dislike for both Riverclan and Shadowclan yet in her heart she wants to give them the benefit of the doubt and work towards being friends again. Her mindset is wanting to make friends instead of making enemies. Having strong anxiety when she knows someone doesn't like her or her clan in general. Romance is not something that is on her mind but she definitely trust easily enough and is open about how she feels.​

•  

• BLACK WITH LOW WHITE DESIGN BY NOCTHYMIA Dark as night, TBNkit is borne of a similar hue to his mother. Beside her frame, curled against her stomach as he feeds, he vanishes. It is not until he turns toward the other party they can truly see him. White coats his face in an odd manner, four-pointed and star-like over his left side. Some might consider it a sign, like he is blessed by StarClan for greatness, and he surely thinks so, as well. Inheriting his father's overall build, muscles begin to show as the kitten grows. He is on the heftier side, and has priotized strength since the moment he could properly control his legs. Much like his parents his eyes are narrow, sharp; copper in color much like Raccoonstripe's, fiery and wild, blazing when he faces his opponents. ✦ Strong muscles, built for fighting; tall and broad-shouldered. ✦ Classic tabby ghost markings, star-shaped white marking on left side of face, feathery fur and tail ✦ Masking classic tabby, carrying dilute ​

• EXTROVERSION + x ─●─────── x - CONFIDENCE + x ─●─────── x - TEMPERAMENT + x ──●────── x -​ As the child of two lead warriors, TBNkit proves to be rather unpleasant about it. Arrogant and ambitious from the get-go, he makes sure everyone knows who his parents are, who his grandmother was, and who he is: the future leader of ThunderClan. The young tom enjoys rough-housing with his littermate(s) and the other kits in the nursery beyond all else, wanting to prove himself as the strongest among their rankings. He is confident, mimicking his father's behaviors and way he presents himself ( chin up, chest puffed out ). Competitive and power-driven, he is commanding and loves playing pretend ( he's always the leader, of course, can't have anyone else taking what is his by birthright ). He was easily swayed by Skyclaw's words. That kittypets were poison in the Clan, that they made ThunderClan weaker. And the words struck despite the murder of Howlingstar and the subsequent battles. It's better this way. But is it really? The supposed newfound strength of ThunderClan as they rid themselves of kittypets did not make up for the loss of his grandmother. And then Raccoonstripe kills Skyclaw, so what is he supposed to think? But he remembers it clear as day: his father's annoyed tone when speaking of the former housecats, of Skyclaw's promises of a stronger Clan after they'd been purged; the words cling to TBN like burrs, and he finds himself developing a similar mindset no matter the changes in current days. Naturally competitive towards his siblings, especially Bayingkit. He is defiant and a bit of a bully, often butting heads with Twilightkit ( she's not his mom ) and Stormkit ( stupid ). Talks down on Tigerkit, thinks he's more special and unique than her. . . and yet, he gets angry if anyone else messes with them. He's their littermate so him and him alone gets to be mean to them, no one else! TBN inherits his father's charisma and flirtartiousness, and his mother's sharp tongue and wits — he is undoubtedly the child of the lead warriors. A natural leader amongst his denmates, he makes sure to stand out as dependable and courageous; knowing what's expected of him due to lineage, he will prove he is worthy of his legacy. He is infuriating to deal with depending on who his mentor is (ex-kittypets taking the worst of it: he will openly go against their orders as he sees them beneath him). . . and even more annoying to his denmates, forced to hear about his accomplishments all night long before he's told to shut up and sleep. He excels in combat and may unsheathe his claws during spars, no reprimands are enough to stop this behavior — real fights are done with claws and teeth. TBNpaw learns to use his size to his advantage, fluffing out his fur to appear bigger than he is. Ambitious and confident he is sure to follow in his parents' pawsteps and become a lead warrior one day, then deputy and leader; however not enough to turn on his current leader in a bloodthirsty show of power. ✦ Difficult to befriend and doesn't trust easily. ✦ Deep hatred for RiverClan, ShadowClan, SkyClan and kittypets. Wary of outsiders. ✦ Clan > Leader, will always act on what he believes is best for ThunderClan. ✦ Susceptible to manipulation during apphood by DF members ( past Thunderclanners/family ) ✦ ​

• WOULD BECOME MY THUNDERCLAN MAIN... and only?

• LH BLACK TABBY W/ LOW WHITE DESIGN BY ARCHIVIST Taking after Raccoonstripe, Berry shares with his father a brown coat, though Berry's is noticeably lighter. He has thick, black tabby striping. His dark markings further make themselves known in "socks" on his front two paws, a blaze on his forehead, and a mark on his nose. His tail is mixed with darkness, eliciting the sight of dark feathers amidst the chocolate coat. His chest, underbelly, and the tip of his tail are a creamy off-white. Berry's eyes are a piercing yellow. ✦ from RACCOONSTRIPE ✦ from NIGHTBIRD ✦ carrying solid, dilute ​

• Berry never had the chance to lead a sheltered life: born in time to witness the death of his grandmother at the paws of Skyclaw, Berry realized early on that the world was a dangerous one. He wished to turn away from such a world, but under the guidance of Raccoonstripe and Nightbird being as parents as they were lead warriors, he knew that he was expected to watch and learn; so he took up learning from both parents to hold the world at a distance. Perhaps, as the last-born child and named after a medicine cat, Berry was afforded some leniency in this. With this view of the world having been ingrained in his psyche, Berry grows up tough in a land that demands it. He comes to believe that others only have the worst intentions in mind for him, leading him to hide his true feelings and deflect with carefully crafted lies that come to define him. Berry claims to lack a conscience as one of these defining lies, a way to protect himself from bad intentions - he cares deeply, and doesn't allow himself to learn how to show that hidden affection. Although Berry can trick himself and others into thinking him cold, he can't outrun the fear of failure that dogs after him. Born into a family of high status, given a legacy name, he knows that he has big paws to fill as he grows older. To try and overcome this fear, Berry becomes flamboyant and charismatic, willing to cheat and lie to get ahead and claim is was all in the luck of the spread. Despite this reliance on what he deems "luck", Berry knows when he's caught, he's caught, and will graciously undertake any punishment that is doled out. As a result of his charisma, Berry realizes that he can adapt that trait and use it; and use it he does, as a way of cajoling Clanmates and others into taking gambles and placing bets. In his own internal system, he wagers on the relationships in his life, a way of redirecting feeling into something more manageable. Though he's as social as they come, Berry has trouble settling down with any one cat, and instead finds himself idolizing those who he deems as having a "shining light" in them. ✦ from RACCOONSTRIPE ✦ from NIGHTBIRD ​

SMALLKIT SMALLPAW, SMALL-- ★✦•°☆

✩ cis(?)gender, desired she/her / unknown sexuality, currently closed to relationships
✩ 05 moons old, ages every ?? of the month
✩ thunderclan & kit / mentored by tbd

---

mentality. smallkit is a very kind cat, however do not let that be mistaken for weakness as she has just as much as a bite as her parents. if she does not like you, she will make it very known, and will even go out of her way to make your life a living hell, simply because you got on her bad side. she is fiercely loyal to thunderclan and their ideals, very rarely questioning what they do, unless her father or mother do so. in spite of her loyalty, she is pretty easily manipulated. she never would willingly do anything that would hurt thunderclan, but if somehow she believed something was for thunderclan's greater good, she would do it. she very much holds her legacy above cats head. she comes from greatness, and therefore she is great. but that does mean she is hyper-critical of herself– never wanting to disappoint her father or mother because if she did, she does not believe she would recover and would do extreme things to get back into their graces. she often does this with other cats, too, though she does not realize how much she relies on the court of public opinion. she is a very big daddy's girl, as well.
reference. smallkit bares an uncanny resemblance to her father; a black tabby with low white, and gray eyes that she gained from her mother. she is slender, and will be as tall, if not taller, than her siblings in spite of her currently smaller size. her eyes seem slightly unfocused as she has trouble seeing anything that is not directly close to her but she does not let that stop her. her fur covers her eyes but she doesn't really mind. the little things she can see, she only moves her fur out of the way to see it. she does not have any scars, and likely will not have any visible until late apprenticeship.
relationships. raccoonstripe XX nightbird
sister to bayingkit, twilightkit, tigerkit, stormkit
loves her family, flowers, butterflies, odd shaped rocks
likes the rain, leaves, the stars
dislikes ( future ) hunting, tracking
loathes running, climbing, swimming
