my half of a trade with @powderseas!! can't resist a opportunity to draw squilf
Strikestone! He is Dawnpelt's and Crowfrost's second son, and brother to Juniperclaw and Sleekwhisker. He is among the influx of apprentices in the Vision of Shadows arc, but is a bit more compliant than his siblings, even though he is equally offended when his dad says the clan needs smarter apprentices, and agrees with his siblings feelings that the clan would be stronger with new blood and ideas. He stays in Shadowclan when they leave early with Needletail to join the kin, and works hard to hunt and gather while the clan suffers with Yellowcough. He is named Strikestone by Rowanstar, alongside Yarrowleaf. When the kin take over and things start to get rough, Dawnpelt convinces him to escape to Thunderclan with his brother, and they arrive safely because she sent them ahead while she tried to convince violetpaw, and are devastated when she disappears.
Strikestone has a close relationship with his brother Juniperclaw, and is very proud of him when he becomes Deputy. He is equally devastated to find out his brother tries to poison cats, and calls him a rogue. He has a good relationship with Tigerstar, and is desperate to see if Starclan can help his uncle when he returns from the City dead, and is among the cats to see him named leader and revived. He plays with his cousins Shadowkit, Pouncekit, and Lightkit, and overall values the ties he has with family, perhaps partly because of the family he loses along the way.
He is mentored by Wasptail, Mentors Blazefire, battles the Sisters and loses hearing in his damaged ear, and is killed in the battle against the impostor vs all the clans.
kestrelflight and jayfeather !! silly medicine cats

Whorlpelt! He is Grassheart and Stonewing's son, sibling to Snaketooth and Flowerstem. He is an average kit and apprentice, born shortly before the Kin take over Shadowclan and apprenticed on Rowanstar's last day before the takeover. It's not revealed who his first mentor is, but it becomes Juniperclaw when Tigerheart returns from the city. I think Whorlpelt is a very interesting guy, because he tends to be opinionated for a background cat, eventually strongly opposing clan swappers in the Starless Clan arc despite having been an apprentice in the same den as Fringewhisker who is the cat he's trying to get to leave Shadowclan. Maybe it's because of the time spent in Skyclan not despite it, or the fact that Juniperclaw was his mentor, but I think it's just kind of fun. He has things to say and most of the time is blunt and direct about his thoughts and loyalties.
Tigerstar has high hopes for his kittens
