everyone should draw their interpretation of the tabby queen with distinctive black markings from into the wild chapter 3
Next character design for my Petalkit AU, Starclan's Fallen!
🐦⬛Ravenwing 🐦⬛
Spire! Another cat from Tigerheart's shadow. He belongs to the group of city cats that are introduced by Dovewing as the guardian cats, and are referred to as such by Tigerheart and Dovewing the whole book alone until Fierce calls the group such after establishing their right to territory the way Tigerheart taught her at the end. Spire is an old wise member of the group, not exactly a leader but clearly among the most knowledgeable and respected in the group. He has a skill in drawing pictures with his paws, and has a lot of daytime visions that make most cats think he's detached from reality especially if they've just met him. He saw Dovewing and Tigerheart coming to the city cats in a vision, and saw himself leaving with them in a vision. He both sees how he will die protecting a kit in a vision and the river in which they must cross where it will happen, but doesn't communicate that well to the group before it happens, so that when they cross a drawbridge that starts to raise for a boat to pass the cats are unprepared and Pouncekit starts to slip from the edge. Spire leaps into the gap and saves the kit, but is unable to save himself, falling to his death in the water below. Tigerheart is so moved by the sacrifice that he re-names Spire to Spiresight in an impromptu ceremony on their return journey.
Spiresight is connected to Shadowpaw in the next arc, appearing to him a few times as an earthly spirit. This is a little confusing because he had previously appeared to Tigerheart in Starclan to help convince him to gain his nine lives to lead Shadowclan, and so had successfully ascended before the broken code begins. This raises the question of how if starclan was cut off from the living cats this city cat was capable of reaching the living world, but maybe it has to do with the canonical multiple resting places for spirits in the warriors books? In the same way the Tribe of Endless hunting is separate from Starclan maybe there is a city guardian cat spirit residence that he visited for a back door to the living world IDK. Regardless, he is the cat that helps Shadowpaw stay alive when the impostor tries to kill him for knowing his secret, and then becomes part of the 'overshadowed' army that Ashfur controls in the Dark Forest. He returns to Starclan at the end of the arc.
YOUR DESIGNS ARE FIREEEEEE OMG I LOVE THEM!!!! could u do squirrelstar?? :3
Squirrelstar
Kinkfur! She Is Needletail's other Grandma, but you wouldn't realize that from reading the books haha. She is first named in the allegiances of Eclipse, as a warrior. In the Omen of the Stars she has a litter of kits, Mistcloud, Sparrowtail, and Dewkit, who attempt to play with Ivypool when she is captured and held in Shadowclan during Night Whispers. In the last battle she helps Littlecloud take care of the wounded during the battle. Her lengthiest appearances happen in Thunder and Shadow, and while she has a bit of the 'stock shadowclan' rude and proud attitude she also tends to be a bit softer and more trusting than other cats, choosing to believe and trust Violetpaw to be loyal because she was unwilling to betray the Kin. She falls ill with Yellowcough and perishes, prompting the medicine cats to defy Onestar and gather the lungwort anyway at their next gathering. Crowfrost remembers her at her vigil as having been "loyal to Shadowclan for many moons, and she was loyal and kind to the end." Other fun facts, as of writing this she is the only Shadowclan cat who's name begins with K.
peril redo because i never liked her old ref image tbh
