So, I just had a random, terrible idea about Darkstripe. Specifically, who his father might be.


TW: mentions of grooming and s*xual assault ahead.


I was thinking about how Willowpelt had to be super young to have Darkstripe when she did. Like, she had to have been an apprentice or at the very least a brand new warrior when she had him. And no father was ever named, so it's assumed by many in the fandom that Darkstripe's (and Graystripe's) father is either a rogue, a kittypet, or someone from another Clan. And personally I like that idea, especially for Graystripe's dad. But for Darkstripe's...Well, I just had a horrifying idea for his father that might just work out. A ThunderClan warrior that would have been alive around the time of Darkstripe's conception.


Thistleclaw.


The timeline works out. Willowpelt is littermates with Redtail and Spottedleaf. And thanks to Spottedleaf's Heart (yuck), we know Thistleclaw likes very young, vulnerable, naive she-cats....


My idea is that after his main target, Spottedpaw, rejected him and became a medicine cat apprentice, he turned his attention to the next best thing: her sister. Willowpaw would have been just as young and naive as Spottedpaw, and likely just as easy to groom. So my idea is that Thistleclaw went after Willowpaw after his failure with Spottedpaw, and was...more successful with her (bleh 🤮).


By the time Willowpaw becomes Willowpelt, she's already pregnant with Darkstripe. Ashamed and scared of Thistleclaw, she refuses to name a father when Darkkit's born, but Spottedleaf is smart, and easily puts two and two together. She lets their brother know, and Redtail, perhaps with Whitestorm's help, "handles" the problem during a border patrol near Sunning Rocks. Thistleclaw dies "fighting a RiverClan patrol," and Willowpelt and Spottedleaf both no longer have to worry about Thistleclaw, with the only physical reminder of his horrible, disgusting crimes being the kit he left behind, Darkkit.


It's a horrible theory, one that makes my skin crawl, but I think it makes the most sense. Plus, both Thistleclaw and Darkstripe are described to have dark gray fur, which I know doesn't mean much in Warriors since most of the cats don't really make genetic sense, but it is something I find to be an interesting coincidence.


Maybe Darkstripe turned out the way he did because Willowpelt was both a super young mother and was also emotionally distant with him when he was a kit due to the trauma she endured from his father? Perhaps he reminded her of Thistleclaw just a little too much, so she unintentionally pushed him away, right into Tigerclaw's manipulative paws. That would explain why they have practically no relationship at all by the time of the first books. And maybe Willowpelt had Graystripe with a rogue or kittypet, as a sort of "do over," now that she was older and wiser and much more prepared to be a mother (plus the Clan needed new warriors). And perhaps she eventually fell in love with Whitestorm after she learned about what he and Redtail did to save her from Thistleclaw, which lead to her having Sorreltail, Sootfur, and Rainwhisker with him.


This is all just speculation, not canon (except White and Willow being mates and having Sorrel, Soot, and Rain), so do whatever you'd like with this theory.

So, something I've been thinking a lot about on is how in Warriors the Clans have become almost indistinguishable from one another. Besides where they live and a few minor differences (like RiverClan fishing and swimming), the Clans are pretty much the same to one another. There's very little that makes them...well, them. This is especially evident in the newer books. So I'd like to rectify that somewhat in my own personal headcanon for them.



- ThunderClan -


ThunderClan cats are strong and courageous. They are the most rightous and Code-abiding Clan, which means they tend to stick their noses in other Clans' business which makes them seem stuck up and nosy. They are the strongest cats in the forest in regards to physical strength, which is backed up by their typically above average size. They also tend to have longer, thicker fur to protect them from the prickly underbrush all over their territory. ThunderClan makes their home deep in the forest, surrounded by oak and birch trees, bushes, and brambles. They are mostly ambush hunters, using the trees and bushes to hide in, stalking their prey until they get close enough to strike. They also use the underbrush to their advantage in a fight, along with their size and brute strength. Their diet is primarily made up of small rodents and birds, with the occational rabbit.


Most ThunderClan cats have Maine Coon and Norwegian Forest cat blood in them, with some other larger cat breeds mixed in as well. However, their blood has become quite a bit diluted as of late with kittypet blood, causing many newer generations of ThunderClan cats to not to be as large and imposing as they once were in the past. That doesn't mean they've become any weaker though, regardless of what the other Clans may think.


Good examples of "pureblood" ThunderClan cats are Thunderstar, Oakstar, Pinestar, Tigerstar, and Bramblestar. Lionblaze, despite being half WindClan, shows mostly ThunderClan traits, and is another good example of the average ThunderClan warrior.


- WindClan -


WindClan cats are swift and agile. They are more spirital than the other Clans, due to the fact that they believe they are closer to StarClan due to their habit of sleeping out in the open when the weather permits it. Their strength lies in their speed, which is unparalleled compared to the other Clans. They rule the moorlands, using its open plains and tall grass to their advantage when hunting and fighting. WindClan cats are tall and lean, with short, thin, wiry fur, big ears, long legs, and thin, whip-like tails. In terms of height, they are the second largest cats, second only to ThunderClan, though closer in size to RiverClan. Their body gives them a more aerodynamic form when running, cutting down wind resistence and making them even faster. Their naturally thin bodies also help them with digging out and traversing through the tunnel system that runs underneath their territory. WindClan cats also tend to have shorter, slightly blunter claws than average, though this has less to do with genetics and more to do with how they use them from day to day, as WindClan cats use their claws to dig tunnels as well as to grip the earth when they run to give them even more speed (like cheetahs do). That doesn't make their claws any less dangerous in a fight, though! Their primary diet is rabbit and hare, with some birds such as pheasants as well.


Most WindClan cats have Oriental and Siamese cat blood in them, which gives them their signature appearance. There's also a small amount of Sphynx blood in WindClan, enough that occationally a cat will be born with partial fur or no fur at all. It's rare for these cats to live past kithood, as they often end up freezing to death in leafbare since WindClan tends to live out in the open. It's not unheard of for WindClan queens to quietly take these kits to the Twoleg Place to give to a Twoleg in order to give them a chance at survival.


Good examples of "pureblood" WindClan cats are Windstar, Tallstar, and their kin. Jayfeather of ThunderClan, despite only being half WindClan, has more WindClan traits than ThunderClan. Before it was revealed that Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf were the kits of Leafpool and Crowfeather, many cats in ThunderClan quietly wondered if Squirrelflight had cheated on Brambleclaw with a WindClan cat when the Three were born (as litters can have more than one father) which resulted in Jayfeather. But no one said anything out loud because Squirrelflight was Firestar's daughter and the deputy's mate, and no one wanted to be the first to imply that she was disloyal for that reason.


- RiverClan -


RiverClan cats are beautiful and graceful. They tend to be a bit on the vain side, and appreciate personal looks more than the other Clans. They also tend to decorate their dens and nests with pretty objects that they find, such as shells, feathers, flowers, smooth pebbles, and shiny or brightly colored Twoleg things. Their claim to fame is their ability to swim and hunt fish. RiverClan makes their home next to the water, with reeds and willow trees all around their territory. They are average in size, with large, webbed paws for swimming and sharp, hooked claws for fishing. Their fur is soft, thick, and short-to-medium length, and thanks in part to their diet of fish, it is sleek and more water-resistant compared to other cats, which allows water to slide right off of them. RiverClan uses the large amount of water in their territory to give themselves the upper paw in a fight, dragging enemies under the water with the threat of drowning to force them to give up. Their primary diet is fish, though they will hunt land prey when the water is frozen or poisoned with Twoleg trash.


Most RiverClan cats have Turkish Van, Turkish Angora, and Bengal cat blood in them, with a small amount of Norwegian Forest cat and Maine Coon blood mixed in as well. RiverClan tends to have the least amount of mixed blood from outsiders and other Clans, something they pride themselves in.


Good examples of "pureblood" RiverClan cats are Riverstar, Leopardstar, Mudfur, and Appledusk. Feathertail, Stonefur, and Mistystar, despite being half ThunderClan, tended to have more traditional RiverClan looks, which helped Mistystar and Stonefur be passed off as Graypool's kits. Stormfur, on the other hand, has a more traditional ThunderClan appearance, though he still has the more water-resistant fur of RiverClan.


- ShadowClan -


ShadowClan cats are prideful and sneaky. They often seem standoff-ish and cold, due to their distrust of the other Clans, and they absolutely HATE having to ask other Clans for help, often waiting until the last minute to do so. They are primarily nocturnal, using the cover of darkness to stealthily hunt their prey. ShadowClan makes their home in the pine forests and marshlands, using the mud from the marsh to their advantage in a fight and the pine needles to soften their pawsteps when hunting. ShadowClan cats tend to be small and compact, with thick, short-to-medium length fur, large, wide eyes, wide paws, stocky legs, square, boxy ears, and short muzzles and tails. They are the smallest cats in the Clans on average, though this has started to change in recent times with the addition of kittypet and rogue blood to the Clan. ShadowClan cats tend to be a bit more scruffy in appearance, as they tend to be the least prideful in their outward appearances and thus do the bare minimum to take care of themselves. To ShadowClan, your hunting and fighting skills are more attractive than your appearance, and scars are super cool. Most ShadowClan cats are born with darker fur to help them blend in better, but those who are born with lighter or white fur will use the mud from the marsh to help them blend in better with the shadows, something reminiscent of their ancient Tribe heritage. Their primary diet is lizards, frogs, and toads, though ShadowClan cats aren't picky about what they eat. They are used to eating whatever they can find during times of famine, including rats and Twoleg scraps from the Carrion Place in the old territory.


Most ShadowClan cats have British Shorthair, Persian, Himalayan, Burmese, and Bombay blood in them, with some Manx, Ragdoll, and Scottish Fold mixed in as well. However, much like ThunderClan, ShadowClan blood has become quite a bit diluted in more recent times due to kittypets and rogues joining the Clan, which means less cats are being born with the traditional ShadowClan traits. But just like with ThunderClan, their diluted blood does not make them any weaker.


Good examples of "purebred" ShadowClan cats are Shadowstar, Brightflower, Yellowfang, Littlecloud, Clawface, and Stumpytail. Raggedstar and Brokenstar, despite having kittypet blood in them, tend to have a more ShadowClan-like appearance, with their larger-than-average size being the only thing that really gives them away as having outsider blood. Blackstar and his kin also have outsider blood in them.


- SkyClan -


SkyClan cats are tenacious and honorable. Once a proud and prosperous Clan, they disappeared and nearly went exinct after they were driven from their home in the old forest when Twolegs destroyed their territory. SkyClan used to be the smallest cats, even smaller than ShadowClan, with thin, medium length fur, sharp claws, long tails, powerful hind legs, and hard, gray paw pads, due to their tendancy to hunt in the tree tops. After they were rebuilt thanks to Firestar and Sandstorm of ThunderClan, only the latter two traits really exist in them anymore, and only in those cats who are direct descendants of the original SkyClan cats. No pureblooded SkyClan cat exists anymore, as the descendants of the original SkyClan cats all have kittypet, rogue, and loner blood in them. SkyClan has made their home in many different places. Originally they lived in a forest similar to ThunderClan's, filled with large, old oak trees. Driven from their old home, they ended up following the river and settling in a large gorge, though eventually they were driven from there too, once by rats and then again many years later after their revival by Darktail and his Kin. Now they live by the lake with the other four Clans, and their territory consists of a mixture of oak trees, birch trees, and pine trees. SkyClan cats hunt in the tree tops and use the trees to their advantage in a fight, dropping down on top of unsuspecting enemies to catch them by surprise. They primarily hunt squirrels and birds, with some small rodents and the occational rabbit mixed in as well.


Most modern SkyClan cats come in all shapes and sizes with all kinds of pelts due to their heavily mixed blood, only keeping the powerful hind legs and gray, hard, thick paw pads. Ancient SkyClan cats had primarily Singapura, British Longhair, and American Curl blood in them, with some Siamese and Ragamuffin mixed in as well.


Good examples of "purebred" SkyClan cats are Skystar and Cloudstar. However, as mentioned before, no "purebred" SkyClan cats exist anymore, and it will take many generations before they even come close to what they once were like.

So I doubt many of you know, but I love Pokemon and I love doing Nuzlocke challanges for fun. There's something so satisfying when you win one, and devestating when you lose. For the past few weeks I've been playing an Ultra Sun Nuzlocke, mainly because I've never done a nuzlocke on Ultra Sun and Moon before and I wanted to try, especially since I heard it was hard. And boy, they weren't wrong!


It started out fine, with only a few deaths in the begining mainly because I wasn't being careful enough. By the time I got to Akala, I had a solid team that had good coverage for most types. My first hard loss was my Murkrow, Mr. Saxobeat (I had a song naming theme going on) to the Fire trial. It sucked because I was really looking forward to having a Honchkrow, but I was able to soon replace him with an Eevee named Little Fang who I quickly evolved into Leafeon. Little Fang would turn out to be a life saver later on.


It really started getting tough once I got to Ula'Ula Island. It all started going downhill when I first lost my Arbok, Video, to a random Veteran trainer situated outside of the Pokemon center in Tapu Village. That really sucked, but I soildered on, deciding to replace Video after I finished the Ghost trial.


That was a HUGE mistake.


The first massive losses happened during the trial. Totem Mimikyu and a Banette it had called up just destroyed most of my remaining team. My starter Montero the Incineroar, went down first. Next to go was Starboy the Mr. Mime, who went down fast. River the Poliwhirl was able to take down the Banette before dying to it's Curse. Which left me with only Little Fang and my Passimian, Judas.


I knew Judas would stand no chance since he was Fighting type and Mimikyu was Ghost/Fairy, so I sent out Little Fang and prayed that he'd be able to tank Mimikyu's attacks.


And boy did he. Remember how I said he was a life saver? Yeah, he tanked those hits and was able to whittle down Mimikyu with his Razor Leaf and Giga Drain, using Synthesis to heal when he got too low on health. He even tanked a critical Shadow Claw. I was completely prepared to wipe against this Totem Mimikyu but Little Fang pulled through and saved the run.


I replaced my dead Pokemon with four new, freshly trained pokemon. Reflektor the Malamar, Firework the Houndoom, The Monster the Tyrantrum, and Mama the Ribombee all joined the team, and all but Reflektor (who I had on the team previously but replaced with Judas), were trained up from scratch. We took on the next challange, that being Team Skull and it's leader Guzma....


And promptly lost Reflektor to his Pinsir, mainly due to a stupid mistake on my part. I had meant to send out Firework, and misclicked and sent out Reflektor instead. Oops.


Chains the Skarmory would join the team, only to promptly die in the next battle against Guzma at Aether Paradise to his Golisopod, along side Firework.


Well fuck.


There went two really good and powerful Pokemon.


So once again I replaced my dead teammates, catching Phenomenon the Dhelmise at Seafolk Village (and what a lucky catch that was, since Dhelmise only has a 1-10% chance of appearing at that one fishing spot) and Sail the Lapras on Poni Breaker Coast.


Sail wasn't to last, as he got OHKO'd by a Pinsir, so I quickly replace him with High Hopes the Gastrodon.


The next and final massive loss of the game came during the Dragon trial, where the Totem Kommo-o and a Scizor it called up once again wiped out half my team. Mama, High Hopes, and The Monster all parished before Judas came in and saved the day.


So now I had to go up against Dusk Mane Necrozma and Ultra Necrozma with three of my good team members dead. So, once again, I trained up new Pokemon to get ready for the hardest fight in the game.


I trained up the Totem Mimikyu you get from Samson Oak as the main counter against Ultra Necrozma. I named him Mordred. Next I trained up Mr. Blue Sky the Ledian and Wolf the Midday Lycanroc. Wolf unfortunately while training, so I replaced him with Paris the Furfrou. Then I went and faced off against Ultra Necrozma.


My plan was to have Mordred use Toxic, then stall it out for as long as I could while Toxic killed it. I knew this plan meant that Mordred was likely going to die, but that was a sacrifice I was willing to make. What I did not plan on was Ultra Necrozma just bypassing Mordred's Disguise ability and nearly OHKOing him. Somehow he managed to hold on with 1 HP and get the Toxic off before dying next turn.


I was really, REALLY hoping he'd last longer than that, and the fact that he managed to get off a Toxic at all was a miracle in itself. But now the challange was staying alive until Toxic did it's thing. Which meant more of my team would have to be sacked.


Mr. Blue Sky died next. I sent him out knowing full well he would be killed in one hit, but I had no clue what else to do. But the nuzlocke gods must have been shining down on me that day, because when I sent out Paris next, fully expecting her to die in one hit like Mr. Blue Sky, she didn't. She tanked the hit. I kept healing her, she kept tanking hits, until finally, Ultra Necrozma succumbed to Toxic.


I couldn't believe that had actually worked, but here we were, alive with only two teammates dead. All that was left was the Fairy trial and battling Kahuna Hapu and then we'd be off to the league.


I replaced the two dead members of my team with a Poipole I named Alien and a Larvitar named Victorious, who quickly went on to evolve into Pupitar. I passed both the Fairy trial and beat Hapu with no losses, so soon I was off to the league.


I did some last minute training on Mt. Lanakila, training everyone up to an acceptable level (and finding the move reminder lady at the Pokemon center their so Alien could relearn Dragon Pulse and evolve into Naganadel). Unfortunately, much to my dismay, Victorious soon died before she could evolve into Tyranitar, which meant that I had no counter to Elite Four Kahili and her Flying types anymore.


So now, at the last second, I had to replace one more team member. Luckily (or so I thought), I had caught a Heliolisk I named Annie in the Ultra Wilds. She was Lvl 60, so I figured she was good enough to be a replacement since I wouldn't have to train her up. She would be 3-4 lvls higher than Kahili's Pokemon, so I figured that would be enough.


I was wrong. Again.


Battle starts, and Kahili's Braviary kills Annie in one hit with a Crush Claw.


Fuck.


Now I was sure I was screwed, because half my team was weak to Flying. I managed to scramble up a half-baked plan at the last second, using Paris (who knew Wild Charge) to take out Braviary and Hawlucha, and Judas (who knew Rock Throw) to take out the rest.


Once again, the nuzlocke gods were shining down on me, because I was able to beat her, and the other E4 members, with no more losses.


Considering everything that happened, my last battle with Hau was...anticlimactic. He didn't stand all that much of a chance against me, with Decidueye and Alolan Raichu being the only real threats. But I won.


I beat my Ultra Sun Nuzlocke, with me and my surviving team mates (Little Fang, Judas, Phenomenon, Paris, and Alien) going down in history as the first-ever Alolan Champions.


What a wild ride that was, one that I do not intend to repeat again anytime soon.

So I've been working on what the Lion Guard during Uru's reign would look like. Originally I had Uru as the leader, since she was (at the time) the second born. But I decided I didn't like that and gave her a brother to be the leader instead. I was trying to figure out just who I would put on the Guard besides her brother, and then I remembered some lions seen in the Timon and Pumbaa show that look similar enough to the cave paintings could work.


I've also been thinking about who could have been in Zanta's guard as well, but that's less fleshed out. I only really have two confirmed members.


This is just a rough draft of them, but this is who I got so far:


Lion Guard - Mohatu's Reign


Fiercest - Zanta ("beautiful girl" in Swahili)

Third born of Thimba and Chinika, chosen over her older brother Jafari for the Fiercest role due to having a much better personality and mindset for the job. She is a maned lioness.

Zanta - The Warrior Princess

Bravest - TBA


Strongest - Majira ("summer" in Swahili)

Majira is the son of a simple pride sister, and the father of Limau and Rabsha. He's quite a jovial lion who loves to party, but knows when it's time to be serious. He's also a great listener and problem solver, often acting as the mediator of the group when arguements between members arise. He is based off the lion who appears in the T&P episode "Don't Wake the Neighbor." His mane was blonde when he was younger.

Majira

Fastest - Alama ("sign, symbol" in Swahili)

Alama is the daughter of a simple pride lioness and has seven similar looking sisters, so she aims to make herself stand out from her siblings by joining the Lion Guard as it's Fastest. She is Zanta's mate.


Keenest - TBA


Lion Guard - Uru's Reign


Fiercest - Kiapo ("oath" in Swahili)

Kiapo is the second born of Mohatu and Galyela, and the litter mate of Joto ("King Joe"). He's a stoic and serious individual who is very duty oriented. He believes that being a member of the Lion Guard means being on duty at any time of the day no matter what and that the job comes before any personal happiness, thus he's often annoyed when his Guard members take days off for personal reasons. He loves both of his nephews, but finds the younger, Takatso, to be arrogant and selfish and doesn't believe he'll make a good successor. But regardless of what he thinks he does his duty and trains Takatso to succeed him as the Fiercest. He's based off of the book version of Ahadi seen in A Tale of Two Brothers.

Kiapo Book Ahadi2

Bravest - Majivuno ("pride, pompous" in Swahili)

Majivuno and his brother Swala were adopted into the pride as orphans, raised by Zanta and her mate Alama. Majivuno is a lazy, self-absorbed, and pompous lion who believes that he's the best thing to happen since sliced bread. How he got the job as the Bravest in the Guard is something only Kiapo seems to know. But brave he is, as he's often one of the first to jump into danger, despite complaining afterwards about his fur getting all messed up. He's also one of the members of the Guard who tends to try and shirk his work the most, much to Kiapo's aggravation. He is based off of "Pomp," a lion seen in the T&P episode "Two for the Zoo."

Majivuno

Strongest - Limau ("lemon" in Swahili)

Limau is the son of the previous Strongest Majira, and is the younger brother of Rabsha ("Savage Lion"). An honest and humble lion, Limau was just as shocked as his brother when he was picked to be the Strongest out of the two of them. This sours his relationship with Rabsha, which saddens him, as he never intended to take away the position from his brother in the first place. Limau is based off a lion seen in the T&P show in the episode "Lemonade Stand Off."

Limau

Fastest - Swala ("gazelle" in Swahili)

Swala and his brother Majivuna were adopted into the pride as orphans, raised by Zanta and Alama. While not quite as self-absorbed and pompous as his brother, he is much lazier. He often needs to be prompted by Kiapo and the others to actually do his job and run, which often caused the lion to complain about "how bothersome" running is and how he just wants to take a nap, etc. Why Swala was chosen for the position of the Fastest is something Kiapo only knows, but he is the fastest lion in the Pride Lands...when he wants to be, anyways. Swala is based off of a lion seen in the T&P episodes "Common Scents" and "Guru-Some." He is the father of Jali, Panya, and Adabu.

GS gazelle lion

Keenest - Chakula ("food" in Swahili)

Chakula is the son of a simple pride sister. He is a cowardly lion who is constantly putting himself down. He believes he isn't good enough to be on the Guard, and that his Guard-mates are much better than he is. He is also very paranoid, which makes him great at observing and noticing changes in his environment and those around him. He often sticks back when the Guard leaps into danger to save someone, not being much of a fighter, so he uses his keen observation abilities to guide his Guard-mates. He's the one who saw Kuanguka about to fall out of a tree and called attention to it, allowing the boy to be saved in the nick of time. For this he earns Kuanguka's admiration, though he doesn't ever believe he deserves it. He is based off of the lion seen in the T&P episode "Isle of Manhood."

Chakula

I just finished the Warriors graphic novel Winds of Change, and I got to say....


*SPOILERS*


Mudclaw was done dirty in this book.


I mean, granted, it's following what happened in Night Whispers, so I already knew that, but I was hoping we'd get a better explanation for why Tallstar just decided to make Onewhisker his deputy at the literal last second. But nope. All he says on the matter is "WindClan needs a new kind of leader."


....


Are you serious Tallstar!? You even admitted that Mudclaw would have made a good leader, yet you somehow thought Onewhisker would do a better job? A cat who has literally no leadership experience besides training an apprentice or two?


At this point Mudclaw has been Tallstar's deputy since Deadfoot died in the battle with BloodClan. He's been deputy for a good few seasons now. He lead WindClan when Tallstar was too tired and sick to. And Tallstar goes and betrays his loyalty like this?


I'm mad. Like, MAD mad. It wasn't okay before this book, and it certainly isn't okay now. And look at what Tallstar's choice did to WindClan! Onestar was an awful leader. He destroyed the peace Tallstar had hoped for between the Clans (and especially between ThunderClan) multiple times.


All the reasons Tallstar thought Mudclaw wouldn't make a good leader for WindClan in the new territories -his aggression, ambition, and suspicion of the other Clans- is exactly how Onestar acted once he became leader. The sudden responsibility to become a good leader for his Clan and keep them safe, a responsibility he was totally not prepared for, caused Onestar to buckle and become the very thing Tallstar was afraid of in a leader. And WindClan -and all the Clans- suffered for it.


Mudclaw should have become leader. Period.


Would he have been the best leader? Not neccessarily. But he would have been far more prepared to take on the challenges that come with establishing WindClan in their new home than Onestar was. Mudclaw had been in a leadership position long enough that he could have handled the upcoming challenges like the threat of the Dark Forest, SkyClan returning, and Darktail far better than Onestar ever did.


And I will forever be salty about Tallstar giving Onestar leadership over WindClan instead of Mudclaw, who rightfully deserved it after everything he did for WindClan to ensure they got to their new home safely.
