Fawnpaw's Way

Summary:

Fawnpaw is an apprentice of Autumnclan - known for its clever disposition and keen ability to hunt in the undergrowth of their dense, seasonal forests. Unlike her littermates, however, her apprenticeship is to her mother, and her den has always been the nursery. Having only learned to walk at 5 moons, there were grim expectations from her clan’s medicine cat; but now at 8 moons, Fawnpaw is at a pivotal moment of self-discovery as she navigates her unique role within Autumnclan.

Notes:

hello! this is a short experimental writing from my wc original story, song of 6 trees. Autumnclan is one of those 6, and for the sake of not being overwhelming, i've only included their clan in full. The rest are listed by leadership like in arc 1, but I might add the rest of the warriors/apprentices/queens and kits in the next few chapters if there's some interest n__n hopefully you enjoy this self-indulgent worldbuilding of mine!!

only the tiniest warning for implied ableism, but it isn't much this chapter

WILLOWCLAN
bold ● woodland stalkers ● collaborative

An outlier among all the clans, Willowclan was formed within the last generation by the ambitious Willowstar. Young apprentices admire her next to the other leaders at Gatherings, but senior warriors know her origin; as Willowpaw of Palmclan. She has fought hard to make the other clans see her claim as legitimate, and when Starclan themselves approved, no cat could deny that Willowclan was intended to occupy the last territory of heavy, shady forests. Her journeys to Cherryclan and beyond are evident in her wise gaze, and the diversity of cats occupying her new clan. Each made a difficult journey back south to the other 4 clans, leaving behind lives as Loners, Rogues, and Village cats to lend their talents to growing Willowclan.


LEADER

WILLOWSTAR - small, dusky gray tabby she-cat with deep blue eyes

DEPUTY
BONEWALKER - slender, sturdy white she-cat with yellow eyes and long front claws 

MEDICINE CAT
COPPERSUN - tortoiseshell tom with bright green eyes and a thick accent

 

CHERRYCLAN
peaceful ● field opportunists ● mysterious

Surely, this clan is something only of nursery tales? Cats who lived peacefully without borders under beautiful flowering forests, hunting in nearby fields in cooperation with twolegs and their loners. It was this lifestyle that separated them permanently from Starclan and the other 4 clans ... that is, until the bold new Willowclan brought with them Cherryclan apprentices as some of its founding members. Most are hesitant to believe in Cherryclan's return, almost as much as their reservation of young Willowstar's unprecedented leadership.

APPRENTICE, CLOUDSHINE - pretty white she-cat with blue eyes and gray paws
