could I request a squirrelflight (warrior cats) 😳

ok so technically this is a baby squirrelflight and firestar but

(alternative version below the cut)

Bluebellkit! She is not even an allegiances only cat, as the book she was born in doesn't list her yet, and she presumably passes away before the Vision of Shadows arc. She is only named on Kate Carey's blog, which is also where she is described as a white green eyed cat, and where we are told she is in Starclan. To me she more strongly fits into the unnamed kits category that Su Susanne ran for a long time, but this was information from Kate so it's secondary canon if anything. She did exist, but canonically all we know is she is female and Sister to Yarrowleaf and Beenose.

Riverstar! I listened to his super edition recently and actually liked it quite a lot. I know there have been a lot of critiques of it as having undermined his character in the Dawn of the Clans but idk I thought it was humanizing and kind of funny to see him swimming around in the dark pretending to be wise haha. As a founder he was the one that received the least characterization, and knowing he came from the park cats it was always a story I wanted to see more of. I like the idea that he is so spontaneous that he mostly repeats back what cats share with him and then they think he is special because of it, but doesn't actually have a lot of clairvoyance beyond a normal cat.

I gave him a bit of mane hair, similar to tree to try to capture a yoga teacher vibe in combination with his face stripes mimicking facial hair ha. His body type is based off of a Norwegian forest cat, and I think for the 'breeds' I'll be modeling Riverclan from will be Norwegians, Turkish Van, Bengals in the case of leopardstar ha, Bobtails/Manx, and wild fishing cats. This isn't because I think clans are purebreds, but characteristics of these breeds lend them toward water. I specifically am excluding Maine Coons however, because their size is their breed trait and in my mind that's the Sisters haha.

Sunbeam! I love her, she is my Starless Clan MVP. She is the daughter of Berryheart and Sparrowtail, sister to Hollowspring and Spireclaw. She is mentored by Snaketooth and is an allegiances only warrior in the Broken code arc. As a protagonist, she is very relatable and kind, despite her mother's efforts to inspire xenophobia, and generally sees the good in other people. She doesn't like being treated like she is helpless, and feels frustrated when members of her clan feel pity for her loss of friendship with Lightleap and romantic relationship with Blazefire. She recognizes that though She and Nightheart have good rapport his choice to join Shadowclan to the conceived notion of her clan that they have a deeper relationship was premature, and though she helps him genuinely and feels fond of him over time, those feelings are developed as he tries to prove himself to shadowclan and not before. Once he fails his third trial on purpose she is hurt that he would choose his clan over her, but realizes that her ties to her clan aren't strong enough to make her want to stay when the cat she fell in love with is gone, and the crush she had on Blazefire doesn't compare to the connection she has with Nightheart, so her choice to follow him to Thunderclan feels well paced even though I was skeptical before reading the books. She then has to join Thunderclan without Nightheart, as he disappears on a quest for Starclan the day after she moves, and she gets to see the dynamic of switching clans from the outsider perspective. She develops a bond with Ivypool the new Deputy, and Bayshine Nighthearts' BFF. When Nightheart returns it is to the gathering where she stands up to her mother and claims she Joined Thunderclan not for her mate, but because it is where she feels like she belongs.

She is devastated when Berryheart is killed, and buries her body in it's designated lonely grave by the lake before attending her funeral in Shadowclan. Despite the lengths to which her mother goes Sunbeam still sees the good in her and mourns her deeply. As a character she is very steady in her ability to see the positive in any cat or situation, and despite the way others may treat her as fragile she doesn't grow hard or try to be brave out of insecurity, but continues to be fair and kind without needing to prove herself through being brazen or rude. I really liked reading her perspectives, and she reminds me a lot of my best friend for the strong ties she has to her family which are balanced with her perseverance in maintaining her own identity and beliefs.

I made her a cryptid tortishell despite that being genetically impossible (unless berryheart is also a cryptid tortie which. idk maybe it's under the white) because she has a ginger son. She is now the mentor to Moonpaw and continues to be a source of steady strength in the Changing Skies arc.

Honeyfern (She's my favorite ❤️)

who are these DIVAS????
