Lily of The Valley Clan Healer

Parents: Martenpath and Combeye

Mate: Staghorn

Kits: Sheeppaw, Novapaw and Cometpaw

Dovekit was born beside his sister Starkit, given the name as she died far to soon. Starkit was dead, but Dovekit, he was special. Leaders are given stars on they're flank when they gain they're title. But little Dovekit was born with a star on his head.

A sickly sweet cat, Dovevine always has a warm smile plastered on his face. It seems to be his resting expression as no one has ever seen him frown. Almost like a local priest, Dovevine is a preacher. Sharing any knowledge about the afterlife he can onto any cat. Considering how religious Lily of the Valley Clan is, Dovevine is very respected. Dovevine holds a very high ranking in the clan, seemingly higher than any deputy. The only status he rivals is the leader.

Lily of the Valley clans Leader

Parents: ???

Mate: Warblerclaw

Kits: Morphowing

Lily of the Valleys self centered leader.Thornstar has been leader since he was a young cat, rising to the position younger than most. Thornstar is now much older than he once was before. But don't think that his cruel nature comes from old age, Thorntail was also a mean cat.

Thornpaw was a very bratty and excitable apprentice, excited to become a warrior. But he ended up getting very badly injured on his leg after taking a large fall down a rocky ridge. All those moons he stayed in the med den, falling farther and farther behind. The other apprentices at the time, Elmpaw, Cottonpaw and Warblerpaw would constantly rub in the fact that he couldn't participate in apprentice activities like everyone else. A deep jealousy formed in Thornpaw, he would be the most powerful cat in all the clans.

Thornstar is what most would say, utterly obsessed with Dovevine. The main reason Dovevine has such a high position, practically being higher than the deputy. Is because Thornstar is constantly thinking about him and letting him do whatever he pleases.

Lily of the Valley Clan Warrior

Parents: Cicadawing and Snowfoot

Siblings: Basilroot

Apprentice: Novapaw

Lynxfur was always much bigger than his peers. He towered over them in both height and physical strength. But almost like a foil, he always found himself gazing at the flowers. Lynxfur never liked violence, often avoiding it as much as possible. When he was just a kit he even dreamed of being a clan healer. But when he approached Dovevine, and asked in his tiny voice to be his apprentice.. The older Tom only smiled and told him " I believe that isn't appropriate."

Lynxfur is seen as one of the clans biggest.. disappointments. So much promise from such a strong cat, and yet no charge. Lynxfur was terrified when he got assigned Novapaw as his apprentice, but still wanted to show her she was welcomed. He tried everything to talk with her, but never got much of any reply back.

An accident that would always keep him up at night. One day during training, him and Novapaw were sparring. Nova seemed to have a sudden flash in her eyes, lunging into training with her claws out. In an accidental flinch like reaction, Lynxfur raked his claw across her face. He had never felt like such a monster when everyone started screaming.

Every battle training after has been very awkward. Despite Novapaw not seeming to even react when he accidentally clawed her in the face. Everyone in the clan keeps on saying he should " Be named Lynxclaw now" seeing as the lynx in him finally "Came out".

Lily of the Valley Clan Queen

Rubblestripe

Kits: Bleakkit, Swinekit, Fieldkit and Stickkit

Parents: Sporetooth, Sageash and Currantcry

Siblings: Hucklefang and Lilywhisker

Mate: Atlasglare

Born from an affair between her mother Sporetooth and a Dreaming Clan cat named Currantcry. Lily of the Valley Clan didn't want to accept her and her siblings, only barely letting Sporetooth stay. Everything causes a lot of pressure to be put on her by her mother to not displease the clan and go above your average appreciation, because she "wasn't your average apprentice."

She never felt as close to anyone when Bryonypaw came into her life. The two were the most head strong apprentices in the clan. For a good time she felt as if she didn't need to prove herself of anything. Apart of her knew they weren't just joking when they said they loved each other. Before their warrior assessment they promised themselves that if no tom caught their eyes they would become mates. They both laughed about it, but both truly wished the other meant it.

They really did get ahead of themselves when Bryonystep went after that coyote.

EDIT: Sheep’s a trans girl now

They aren’t gonna make it through pride

Cometpaw: Bigender, Omnisexual

Combeye

Ex Kittypet/loner

Lily of the valley Clan

Parents: Kitty, Cash and Penguin

Mate: Martenpath

Kits: Bryonystep, Starkit and Dovevine

( TW for animal abuse mental and physical )

Combeye used to be a fairly happy kitty-pet who always was allowed to roam outside by his house folk. During this time he was named Scooby by his house folk. Everyday he would wander off farther and farther, he loved his two-legs but at night he would yearn to be curled in the grass. One moon while he was adventuring he was grabbed by his tail and lifted into the grasp of a group of young two-leg kits. He hissed and attempted to fight back, but he was swiftly shoved into a bag. The walls of the bag closed in and the darkness was unescapable. When he was released from the bag he was violently dropped into a fenced off area with a large dog, it drooled from its mouth and wagged its tail when it saw him. It’s orb-like eyes caught the light like two headlights staring straight into him. The twoleg kits behind him called and cheered with laughter. He ended up escaping after quite a few attempts, but not before gaining a few bite marks and losing most of all his right ear.

After that incident he didn’t think he could return home, he felt as if all two-legs would feed him to dogs. During this period of his life was definitely his lowest. He could barely survive on his own, he was about to give up, when she found him.

( During the time between, when he was on his own he got conjunctivitis in his left eye that still stays with him )

When Martenrush found him, she said he could give up and die or find a purpose. His eyes gleamed at the idea off a purpose, so often he yearned for more. When he ran from the life he thought he settled for, when he slept in the grass each night. For so many moons he thought their was nothing left for him..But there was truly a blessing when she came, and she confirmed it so, she was a blessing.

When Combeye joined the clan he gave up his old life. He was a clan cat now, a new name and a new home. He was trying to recover from everything, to find peace

Over the corse of their relationship she attached Combeye to herself to an unhealthy degree. Instead of healing he was falling farther into disrepair.

Cometpaw

Lily of the valley Clan

Healers apprentice

Parents: Staghorn and Dovevine

Siblings: Sheeppaw and Novapaw

Cometpaw is the most happy and laid back apprentice there is in Lily of the Valley Clan. Whenever you’re feeling blue he’ll be there to offer you a shoulder to lean on. I mean, I think that’s what she wants to do! From kit-hood Cometpaw and his siblings were a close knit trio. Even when things got rough they would always support each other. It’s hard when things are bad with your parents, and it warmed Cometpaws heart when her father looked at him with the same compassion he longed for. With each lick behind the ear, she fell deeper into the new found comfort. Sheeppaw and Novapaw were quickly being left in the dust, Cometpaw was just so caught up in everything when Dovevine chose Cometpaw as the clans next healer. Quick hellos and goodbyes is all you can manage to blurt out before Cometpaw was whisked away back to the side of their father. And it’s not like Sheeppaw and Novapaw would want to ruin their sister’s new found love for life.. it’s just that he can get so frustrating.. how was the difference fair?

Novapaw

Lily of the valley Clan

Parents: Dovevine and Staghorn

Siblings: Cometpaw and Sheeppaw

Novapaw, Sheeppaw and Cometpaws sister. While Sheep and Comet were preened into place, Novapaw has always been left on her own. Though she seems to find that just fine, her heart would tell you otherwise. If Novapaw was raised in a loving environment perhaps she would still have that same compassionate love she once had as a kit. Novapaw instead of family or friends has quickly thrown herself into her training, to much in fact that she sustained the scar across her nose. When training one day with her mentor, she unsheathed her claws. In an attempt to defend himself her mentor accidentally scratched her along the face, much to the large Tom’s horror. Even when everyone started panicking, Novapaw still had that same dead pan expression plastered on her face. Trainings have been awkward for them ever since.

Sheeppaw

Lily of the valley Clan

Parents: Staghorn and Dovevine

Siblings: Novapaw and Cometpaw

Sheeppaw! The basically main character of my story lf there is one. She’s upset at the world and I don’t blame her. Her father is Dovevine, the lead healer of the clan and a very well respected religious figure. Sheeppaw was often outcast in favor of her brother Cometpaw, who had been chosen as their father’s favorite and as his apprentice. Grown up with a lot of religious trauma and guilt due to seeing herself as doing the wrong thing. Her mentor Basilroot seems to be the only one growing increasingly worried about her.

Back when they were young..

I used a foliage brush for the background)

After this Sheepkit wasn’t allowed outside the nursery for 3 moons..

Family tree of my main WC oc Sheeppaw! I have so much yet so little for the clans that surround her

ValleyClan's Camp - Rise of the Clans

Location

ValleyClan's camp resides at the base of the only cliff located as a rather prominent dip among the rolling hills of their territory. Marked by a dead tree, the only safe point to enter ValleyClan camp without breaking a limb from falling is a short sandy incline located just among the dip of two bushes. This hard to locate incline serves as the entrance to ValleyClan camp. Once inside, the ground underpaw is smooth and sandy, with very, very sparse vegetation. The bushes above offer a sort of camouflage to the uneducated eye.

Dens

ValleyClan cats make their dens among the caves and recesses found along the cliff sides. They're rather large, somewhat deep, and spacious, with a sort of stone floor underpaw. In times of heavy rain, cats are moved from the caves below to the caves above; due to the multi-level elevation of ValleyClan, rain does not flood whatsoever into the top caves.

Rise of the Clans will open for applications August 19th, 2024! Click here to learn more <3

CLANS OF THE LAKE - RISE OF THE CLANS

The Clans of the Lake consist of four feral cat communities,  known as WoodClan, ValleyClan, RockClan, and StreamClan. They follow what is known as the warrior code, living as warriors in the wild.

Their four territories lie next to one another, next to a lake. The terrain and foliage is vast in its variety, with the mountains close by in the north, and ocean not too far away in the south. In between are varied forests, streams, and other varying foliage.

WOODCLAN

WoodClan lives in a tight-knit pine forest, the paths among it known only to the Clan itself.

VALLEYCLAN

ValleyClan lives among the sloping hills and valleys, next to the large, bustling Twoleg farm.

ROCKCLAN

RockClan lives at the base of perilous mountains, a threat to all but the tough cats who live there.

STREAMCLAN

StreamClan lives surrounded by rushing water, the fish there a steady source of prey for the sleek cats.

VALLEYCLAN - RISE OF THE CLANS

OVERVIEW

Living underneath the sun and sleeping underneath the stars, ValleyClan sees the world at its best and worst. Their lands are as vast and free as they come, with rolling hills and fields of flowers. ValleyClan is known for their 'get up and go' personalities, loving exercise and running through their beautiful land. Their specialty ranks of choice, the Sentinels and the Guardians, are trained to guard and keep watch from any incoming threats.

TERRITORY

The territory is characterized by large hills. The ground underpaw is half grass, half dirt and sand. The grass varies in length, from dense tall grass to large patches of short but soft grass. Sparse bushes dot the territory; anything larger in vegetation is rare. There are very few trees, save along the borders; any few trees found among the sloping hills are long dead. Out of all the territories, this territory has the most interaction with Twolegs. From a fully functional farm to remnants of past farming attempts, these cats are no strangers to the ways of these strange creatures. The main prey here are rabbits, pheasants, and very rarely, hawks. The main predators that can be found here are coyotes, badgers, and the occasional fox or large bird of prey. The cats that live here are wiry and typically brown-colored, to blend in with their territory.

DAILY LIFE

Having no tree cover, ValleyClan members are typically early birds: they get up at the crack of dawn! These cats typically use phrases that associate with the farm close by; examples of phrases include "soft as a sheep's pelt," "cow dung," and "A rooster's flight away." ValleyClan members have a slight advantage to running then other Clans, due to their wiry builds: they are built for speed. As a result, kits love to play tag and chase one another for games; this love of running continues into warriorhood. Warriors often challenge each other to races for fun, though these competitions can get heated easily for bragging rights. As the competition gets more serious, it's not uncommon to barter prey, and even morning patrol shifts.

SPECIALTY RANKS

Following the invasion of the Pack in ValleyClan’s territory, the new leader, Lilystar, and her deputy instated two new ranks in an effort to keep the fragile Clan sage from future threats. These ranks are the Guardian and the Sentinel. The Guardians act as ValleyClan’s first line of defense, and are set to patrol the perimeter closest to camp. Cats who decide to step into this position must be adept in all sorts of fighting styles. The Sentinels are regarded as the eyes and ears of ValleyClan. They patrol the outskirts of ValleyClan’s territory and report signs of oncoming danger to the Guardians. Sentinels are expected to be quick, prioritising speed over strength in order to be a carrier of information. A cat can begin training underneath the Guardians and Sentinels after completing their Warrior’s training. 

Canarystripe

• Canarystripe was the daughter of a loner named Beam.

• One day, Beam abandoned Canary as a kit at the ValleyClan border, where she was taken in.

• She never felt welcomed in ValleyClan and had no friends or loved ones there.

• This led her to become troublesome and lash out at others.

• She was apprentice to a strict mentor in hopes he could curb her troublesome nature, but it only made things worse because the mentor was Xenophobic towards outsiders.

• Eventually she learned of FoxClan, a clan that was formed only a couple of years ago that her mentor criticized for being to welcoming to outsiders.

• On a patrol near FoxClan border, her mentor got in an argument with a FoxClan warrior named Topituft, a former kittypet, after her mentor insulted Topituft’s kits for originally being a loners.

• Canarypaw was in awe after Topituft vehemently defended his kits and declared that kits are welcome in FoxClan, regardless of their origin.

•The next moon, Canarypaw decided she had to join FoxClan, and waited at the border where she met the leader, Finchstar

• Finchstar allowed Canarypaw to join the clan, and even personally mentored her. • Canarypaw later earned her Warrior name, Canarystripe.

• Several other ValleyClan apprentices eventually joined FoxClan, Hollyhockpaw (she was abducted by Twolegs and wasnt allowed to rejoin ValleyClan) who became Hollyhockspots, and Sybilpaw (exiled after her father, a rogue, killed two apprentices and spared her) who become Sybil.

• Eventually Finchstar become a father figure to Canarystripe.

• One moon during a patrol, Finchstar, Canarystripe and some other cats stumbled across a dead loner and his newborn kits.

• Canarystripe recognized the liner as her father, but reasoned that she was probably mistaken, she barely remembers what her father looks like anyway.

•Finchstar and his mate, Tumblefreckle, adopted the kits, with Canarystripe attempting to look after them (she is skilled in kitsitting and isn’t just looking after her possible siblings.)

• She formed a connection with Whistlekit, who was interested in herbs and would make a great medicine cat/healer. • However, FoxClan already had 3 medicine cats, and Whistlepaw was made a warrior apprentice.

• Canarystripe didn’t let that stop her, so she came up with a plan. She knew that one of the medicine cats, Gato, was originally an elder who retired due to her failing eyesight.

• She knew Gato wanted to be helpful to FoxClan and wouldn’t be content in becoming an elder again, so Canarystripe suggested Gato become a mediator, a position Gato had expressed interest in before. • Gato agreed, and with Finchstar and Whistlepaw’s permission, Whistlepaw was made a med cat apprentice and Gato a mediator.

• However Whistlepaw soon became overwhelmed with her duties because one med cat died and the other was ill. • Canarystripe stepped up and became a temporary med cat, and helped look after a patient who needed more attention than the others. •Canarystripe would become a warrior after Whistlepaw became a full med cat, Whistlecrag, but by that time the Clan realized that Canarystripe and Whistlecrag and her siblings were likely related because Scratchfur, Whistlecrag’s brother, looked almost identical to Canarystripe.

• One moon Canarystripe was helping out in the medicine den when Whistlecrag got in a n argument with the deputy Lilacdapple.

• After leaving camp to settle the argument privately, Lilacdapple killed Whistlecrag.

• Everyone was distraught at the death of Whistlecrag, and Lilacdapple was exiled alongside another warrior who murdered a cat (story for another time)

• Canarystripe was forced to become a basically permanent Med cat, and was very overwhelmed at the prospect. Even though she had a much older and more experienced healer to help her with her duties, Canarystripe had mostly relied on Whistlecrag’s guidance to help around the medicine den.
