Some Dark Forest Side Characters! :] Names And A Little Info On Each Under The Cut.

i don't think i need to forgive and forget. i think i need to bash someone's head in with a hammer

Can I ask what Ravenheart's sort of story and personality is? Does he have a connection to Ashcloud?

YEAH :D i welcome any distraction from school assignments

Ravenheart founded Alpine, he was guided by a much older StarClan cat to do so (who has now disappeared, funny). He was leader (though didn't take the suffix 'star', that came in after his death) and was close friends with Night. I wouldn't say he was really friends with Ashcloud, she was just his medic and therefore an official point of reference with StarClan later on, as Peace-Keepers had not yet been introduced.

in early SL, Raven is not on starclan's council, he mostly withdrew from authoritative positions straight away after his death, pretty shocked by supposedly being politically assassinated by his best friend. So he's mostly standing by watching StarClan get pretty corrupt. he sort of views morality in a very direct, certain way, like this is Good and this is Bad. maybe i can see what starclan's become but what's the alternative? rewarding murder?

Raven takes leadership of starclan after its fall (mostly because most of starclan's ranks begin to agree with his ideas of unity over war/divisions etc)

Ash doesn't like it, she thinks StarClan should take a much more violent approach to defeating the rebellion, like an all-out war. Raven, instead, offers Night and the dark forest a full pardon (im sure that won't backfire at all)

violence begets violence

Is Night sun-bleached?

Well I intended the design to have her chest as just her natural fur colour, but I guess you could interpret it as bleached! (I don’t really strive for realism with my designs lol)

properly sun bleached night would be super cool though. love cool fire motif it’s why she has orange eyes and the markings in the first place lmao

real actual representation of inside my brain

finished up to 2 minutes now yay

TWO SCENES FINISHED (1:30 minutes out of 4 lol)

gave up on full colour and the rest will be sketched like this because if I do it like that there’s a chance I can finish it sooner.. maybe

nose boop

aww look bonding with children. nothing bad can come of that right

warrior cats is a book series fundamentally dedicated to the moral “constant war and prejudice is ultimately good and better for everyone” and to me it is best to preserve that while changing the coating of the narrative to that of an ironic one, treating all the bullshit clan cats do and their stagnant society a circus of errors that ultimately gestures to the audience “you see? a society built on the idea that war and prejudice is good fucking sucks, war and prejudice is bad” however most people who do rewrites and aus seem convinced they can curtail the idea of warrior cats society being bad by like, deciding it is a moral imperative to draft disabled people into War That Is Good or to bring back a child that was unjustly killed for failing to integrate into the War Is Good society and having them go to Good War or whatever, which is very uninteresting
