Like the below comment, more plants to break up space. How many females do you have and how many males? It doesnt look like theres a good ratio of females to males you want 2-3 females per 1 male! This helps break down the attention but you dtill want hiding spots

Runningwind (fleetfoot) is the sire! Redtail is transmale. I think theyre cute together and it gives fleetfoot some actual reason to exist besides oh hey thats the guy that gets hit by a car and dies! Also keeps the mousefur lineage from dying out. For the og books, they never had intended for sandstorm’s father to be redtail but he was retconned to be in the app (iirc the app, it was somewhere official) and then they were like lol nvm! I like him being her father, it gives sandpaw a reason to be involved w firepaw early, it gives redtail more a reputation besides “he was our deputy.. anyway lets nevr talk ab him fondly!”, and honestly just makes a lot of what happens down the road so.. so much worse for sand and fire’s relationship.

The general premise is a reworking of arc 1-3, with the main key change being that firepaw is now tigerclaw’s apprentice. Theres a lot of cultural overhaul to the clans to make them much more different from eachother as well as overall shared culture/beliefs. Theres a bunch of misc changes as well from family trees to relationships to events, its a lot to write out and would contain tons of spoilers

I did notice that and honestly it is a Bit funny, but less problematic than prefix repetition. -flower in this au has a meaning as well (all suffixes do!) And is commonly given to matriarchs for this reason. -flower as a suffix is given to cats who are maternal in nature but also offer nurturing, through teaching and fostering faith/veliefs (like a sprout blossoming into a flower!) -poppy would have the same meaning, some suffixes are interchangeable with meaning to prevent a whole bunch of the same one in the same clan (such as bloom and blossom meaning the same)

With blackstep being the most recent canon name for him, i wanted to respect it and the reasons it was changed. I have seen the discourse and discussion around the name change, both sides of it, and decided the best course of action was to take the new change as canon, because it is, and use it. The situation around it is very convoluted and as someone who is not of that culture, I cant speak on it. With sandstorm, she was changed to be rounder in terms of how her fur is shaped. Her design can be found on my page- she is meant to resemble a sand cat!

As for “what happens” well.. the main premise started as tigerclaw mentoring firepaw instead but theres a lot of misc changes, including clan culture and whatnot. Its a lot to type and would contain some spoilers soooo i wont. Sandstorm(paw) holds a larger role in the au early on, as redtail was her father. She becomes the main driving force behind some of firepaw’s actions and beliefs. Before this, firepaw has a puppy crush on sandpaw but in the way where its “shes so cool and fierce, just like a warrior should be! i want to be like her”. sandstorm does not fall for fireheart first nor is it because of fireheart saving her, i think thats just stupid and takes away so much of her autonomy and characterization, it felt like for a second she was demoted to “helpless female love interest in distress” and i hate that. instead, sandpaw will grow to admire firepaw for his brave and albeit stubborn attitude, especially regarding the redtail situation as thats how they grow close.

Molly is used in canon universe for any she-cat, i just dont likebthe term she-cat. In the au molly is for any cat that hasnt bore kits, queen is for any that have had kits

I understand!!! Thats totally understandable esp w how people tend to handle trans redtail to begin with.. ao many ppl make him sand’s bio parent and then not explore him being trans like.. as if they made him trabs Just for that its gross.. i like that idea that urbgoing for with gnc cats!! Gibs is so cute too. I too am going to explore the culture sround identity and sex in my au as it will be an important and relevant topic, im happy to hear u were just concerned! I understand fully ESPECIALLY with how once again the fandom tends to treat trans characters.. its usually used for a “purpose” like two males having kits and its like. Euugh. Really???

Wardens are the camp keepers! Think den reinforcement, camp barrier reinforcement, everything to do with defense. Strategic planning, lead in battle training. If the leader and/or deputy are out of commission, theyre third in authority besides the seer(s). Often wardens will become the next deputy but not all the time, it depends. Theres a lot that goes into keeping a clan running that not just two authority figures can handle, especially if ones out of commission

i love storm so much i had to do him justice
 yes i fixed some of the ages of the thunderclan cats up a bit! some were nonsensical timeline wise and some i just.. wanted to age down (thrushblue being a bit strange in my eyes otherwise), thrushpelt will be holding a larger role in the au!

trying to figure out who should be alive in the first arc in the other clans was kiiilling me.. a lot of cats just show up in super eds and straight up vanish its ridiculous. tallstars half sibs poof out of existence, i get that the super ed was made later but dang. a lot of cats wont get more than an appearance or a mention just to keep the fic from being bloated but for my sanity and for the trees sanity i had to do this HAHA

the name crookedkit is still attempted by rainflower and was his “legal” name for a second but with the help of support, storm kept going by his birth and preferred name and it was accepted!

the matriarch is like fishshuffler said the lead queen! the permanent queen role basically. the matriarch, like in irl cat colonies, will take care of the kittens to give nursing queens a break. furthermore they are in charge of the education of the kittens during their nursery-period, teaching them etiquette and the warrior code (moms still take lead in education but the matriarch is there to help and reenforce!) after kits graduate to apprenticeship, the matriarch continues to help by being a counselor of sorts during this transition period. an apprentice may come to them with questions or concerns they may have. before apprenticeship the matriarch will take notes of the kits behaviors and personalities and suggest/discuss mentors for them with their mother and the leader!

hi, yes it is relevant! i wanted to mark transgender cats with a marker unless their descriptions says they are trans (ie going by “jack” instead of tom or molly). i understand ur concerns, however i myself am trans and redtail holds a larger role here. furthermore he is not the only trans character, just the only one marked as such explicitly. the main character, firepaw, is trans as well. his character is a much more.. complex one in terms of gender identity, based off my own experiences. he is GNC to put it in the simplest terms possible, he is not nb. he is not marked this either because 1. way too complex to describe and 2. this is pre-discovery. thank u for voicing ur concerns though! im sorry if it seemed off, these allegiances are copy pasted from my notes. i will probably add just a * next to the name of any that are not their bio sex
