Birchbark - Blog Posts

Paint doodle of one of my Clangen cats, Birchbark from CressClan of Bieszczady Mountains. Made as a break from working on Uni stuff. Birchbark is a cold asshat, a tom with a weak leg born in a Clan that does not tolerate weakness. Instead of bonding with other disabled cats, he actively mocks them, trying to hide his insecurities behind a calculating and bloodthirsty persona.

Despite his leg, he is quite an incredible runner and has a keen eye for details, which leads to him being a sort-of investigator when scent is not an option.

CressClan's leader is currently very old and on her last life, and her deputy, Burningwillow, has a lot of trust in Birchbark. But it's still up in the air if she will allow him to become deputy, as her personality and opinions don't go far from Splitstar's. Birchbark also managed to find love and have several kits. His mate is loyal, fish-like swimmer Leopardfeather with helpful insight. Together, they had two litters of kits, the older one consisting of one son and three daughters, Squalllake (dead), Streamwhisker, Sunsmoke and Peakcloud, and the younger one only having a single female kitten named Spikekit, after a mediator who recently died, Spikebeak.
