` redstar: founder & leader of modern quickclan . deceased ♚ the son of two loners, surely no one thought that this cat would amount to much after all. however, a young redstar was separated from his birth parents at a young age, and was found by a quickclan patrol before he was adopted by the leader at the time, snowstar. snowstar became fond of the outspoken ginger kit and decided to give him a chance to train with the other apprentices. the then-named redpaw became friends with sweetpaw, later named sweetecho, and her brother wetpaw, later wetclaw. given the warrior name redthorn, he sought to prove himself as a worthy quickclan warrior. by the time snowstar died and fleetingstar took her place, redthorn was becoming popular with the clan that took him in, showing off prowess and strength, even if he would never be as swift on the moorland. redthorn recognized that fleetingstar's last-minute appointment of brightmoon as his deputy was a mistake, though fleetingstar himself lived only a few moons longer before falling to illness. brightstar was unpopular with the clan, as was his choice to appoint wetclaw as his deputy. one of the other warriors, darkclaw, began an uprising to take over leadership. in the battle that followed, redthorn barely managed to escape. when he did, however, starclan came to him with the desire to make redthorn the new leader of quickclan. redthorn was renamed redstar, the founder and first leader of modern quickclan. as a leader, redstar was known for creating lasting alliances with hazeclan and groveclan from his friendships with hazestar and badgerstar. redstar was welcoming to all outsiders, and wandered from his clan often to engage with multiple relationships with mollies from other clans, thereby fathering many kits. his pride ultimately got the best of him. when nolan and his followers moved to the moor, redstar refused to send word to his allies for help. in a last-ditch effort to save a captured sootstone and make peace with the rogues, nolan murdered redstar, and leadership passed down to cyanstar. respected for his level head and viewed by many as incredibly strong and untouchable, redstar was more vulnerable than he ever let on. he was a loyal friend, incredibly empathetic, though lacking in foresight. after losing many close friends, including ivystripe and hazestar, redstar began to engage in many relationships to try and fill the void he felt, though this comes to the lasting detriment of his family, permanently damaging his relationship with sweetecho and cardinalheart in particular. imagejoined at 28 moons, died at 54 moons prev. redkit, redpaw, redthorn mates: sweetecho, redhawk (hurricane), flowerskip, morningcloud (steam), jayde (swift), larchbriar, snowcreek (haze), daffodilpetal (haze), deerleap (bear), honeyflower kits: cardinalheart, vanillastrike (hurricane), kestrelflight (hurricane), cypressflight (haze), mudshade (haze), sycamoretooth (haze), chestnutblaze (haze), cinnamonberry (haze), fleetingmoon, owletcry, webtail, rainypath, heatpaw, ramtail, aspkit (empire of the gods), caribounose, pinerunner, crakesnap, oleanderwind, ploverflame, rainpaw (bear), ryepaw (bear), herongaze, scorpiondusk, vermilionsky, starlingscream, smokestone, cherrykit (swift), tadpolekit (swift), specklekit (swift); Kittiwakespark (steam), rosellathorn redstar's family tree' too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin.

` cyanstar: leader . alive artist: amethyst14 ♚ having grown up on the edge of quickclan territory, cyanstar had always known about the clans of legend, though his family made sure to stay as far away as possible. instead, cyanstar's early life revolved around the barn on the edge of quickclan territory. there, he heard sounds of fighting from time to time, saw silhouettes in the distance, but continued with his simple life. after his parents died and his littermates had moved elsewhere, cyan opened the barn to passersby. if there ever came a time when a cat was in need of a place to stay out of the moorland wind for the night, then cyan allowed them a refuge. it was this very process of offering a home that cyan met two former clan cats, falconflight and blizzardrush. the three quickly became friends and the former-warriors told cyan about their times in their respective clans. at the same time, word was spreading across the moor of a new clan leader who was reviving the fallen quickclan, and cyan left his barn to investigate further, wondering if there could possibly be hope for his friends to have a clan to call their own again, if he might be interested in joining a clan. redstar gave cyan his new name - cyanslash - and he joined as a warrior of quickclan. noted for his speed and agility, cyanslash continued to make friends within the clan and fell in love with falconflight along the way. after ivystripe's death left tumblejaw unresponsive for several moons, cyanslash unofficially took over the responsibility of clan deputy, wanting to aid redstar as best as possible. in turn, he was made clan deputy in due time. as clan deputy, cyanslash remained dutiful and loyal to redstar, though their opinions and visions for the clan clashed several times over. most notably when dealing with nolan's group, cyanslash argued that reaching out to their allies, though redstar rejected him. in the end, cyanslash was left to regret that he hadn't pushed harder when redstar was killed by nolan. in the aftermath, cyanslash was elevated to leader, thereby given his nine lives and a new name, cyanstar. cyanstar is noted for his fierce and unwavering loyalty, both to his clan and to his found family. not unlike many other quickclan cats, cyanstar sought friendships beyond the border and became close friends with turtledove of hazeclan, who bore falconflight's kits for the mates to have as their own. there is nothing cyanstar wouldn't do to keep his family safe at any cost. joined at 18 moons prev. cyan, cyanslash apprentices: cherrydawn, plumblossom mate: falconflight kits: twiteflight (adoptive), dandelionspring, dovewish, finchthroat, cricketchirp cyanstar family tree' there's been a million before me.

` tallpeak: former deputy, warrior . alive artist: amethyst14
♚ once a warrior of shatteredclan, tallpeak once thought that she had her entire life set out before her. she would be a loyal shatteredclan warrior, work her way into the good graces of her clanmates, and perhaps one day find a mate and have kits of her own to feed into the legacy of shatteredclan. she only wanted the best for shatteredclan. that is, until shatteredclan fell apart and tallpeak was left on her own to find a new home.
when redstar found her one moor, tallpeak was at the lowest of lows. it felt as though all of her plans had fallen apart before her very eyes, ended before she ever had the chance to try. however, she found kinship in redstar, who was able to sympathize with tallpeak, as his clan had also fallen. suddenly, redstar opened up a new chance for tallpeak, to give her the life she wanted in shatteredclan, only this time in quickclan.
as the first official warrior of quickclan, tallpeak had the chance to watch the infant clan grow and prosper over the moons. as a strong advocate for taking in refugees, tallpeak jumped at the chance to proved herself in every chance she had. whereas, earlier, her main goal was to find a mate, now tallpeak wanted only to become the best warrior possible.
at first regarded as stuffy and uptight, tallpeak clashed often with the likes of cyanstar, falconflight, nightfall, and splashfall, who were younger and more energetic. while tallpeak wanted to be organized and be guided by a rigid regimen, the other warriors wanted the freedom to explore the moor as they pleased. tallpeak's anxiety stemmed from watching one clan falling apart before and not wanting to have to face the same fate over again. over time, however, it seemed that the two ideologies have come together, as tallpeak began to loosen up and cyanstar felt the weight of responsibility rest on his shoulders.
after redstar's death and cyanslash was named the new leader of quickclan, tallpeak was surprised when cyanstar asked her to be his deputy. she found that she came a long way from the lost cat who hated the moor, and instead knew quickclan better than most, as she held much experience and respect within the clan.
she served as cyanstar's deputy for the early moons of his leadership before she met coyotesnarl and decided to turn her attentions towards starting her family and raising her kits. though quickclan always held an important part in her heart and tallpeak continued to serve her clan as much as possible, it was clear that she would never be the clan's leader. instead, she suggested that cyanstar look to splashfall as the next deputy.

` alpinemask: medicine cat . alive artist: amethyst14 ♚ before quickclan, alpinemask never knew what it meant to have a home or a family. alpinemask grew up in a twoleg neighborhood among his fellow strays, with no memory of any siblings or parents. instead, from a very young age, alpinemask leaned to take care of himself and to never let himself become attached to another cat, lest they leave him as well. while the other cats around him engaged in fighting for the slightest bite of food, alpinemask realized that he could survive by learning how to treat wounds using the herbs he could scavenge from gardens. steadily, alpinemask began to experiment, learning what he could use to heal certain ailments, and word began to spread through the streets of the skinny cat who used leaves and cobwebs to save lives. from then on, alpinemask found that he had a steady flow of patients in need of his services, and, in exchange, they would bring him food as reparations. though he had food, however, alpinemask felt increasingly lonely. even though he interacted with his patients, he never felt any connection to them beyond the surface-level connection, and the repetition of healing only for the same cats to come back days later with new wounds from the never-ending cycle of fighting grated on his nerves. when he left, it was by his own vindication that he could do better elsewhere, that there must be something better in the world waiting for him. soon after, he came across a stretch of moorland and met the cats who lived there. while in quickclan, alpinemask was drawn immediately to the medicine cats' den. though many of the clan cats were put off by his quiet and at-time hostile exterior, he found solace and friendship in gullfeather and gorseberry, who were glad for the help and company. slowly, alpinemask fell to enjoy the sociability of clan life and embraced the ins and outs of the day to day in quickclan. perhaps it was a lingering fear, however, that drove him to meadowspirit. as many of the clan cats still stayed away from alpinemask, and gullfeather and gorseberry were often training together, alpinemask found companionship elsewhere. when he was told that meadowspirit was pregnant with his kits, however, alpinemask began to worry, even more so when he noticed that gullfeather had all the signs of carrying kits of her own. together, they bonded over their relationships with hurricaneclan cats, and their worry that they would fail as parents. they ultimately planned that they would bring their kits together to quickclan as orphans found on the border - if not for gullfeather losing her kits before they could carry out their plans. after gullfeather lost her kits, alpinemask did what he could to be there for his friend, instead leaving valleykit in the care of the queens. any efforts to try and comfort his friend, however, were extinguished when gullfeather was killed, and alpinemask turned to gorseberry as his only remaining friend and confidant. he saw the signs that gorseberry's eyes were straying across the border and, against a history that told him to warn gorseberry away from his heart, alpinemask began to encourage gorseberry to embrace his feelings for dusklight. as a father, alpinemask seeks to tell valleypaw the truth, but has found many excuses time and time again to hold back. following sootstone's death, however, and the reveal of sootstone as daffodilstem's father, alpinemask recognizes that he cannot hold off any longer, and he could only hope that valleypaw would one day come to forgive him. joined at 36 moons prev. everest mate: meadowspirit (hurricane), darkflower (haze) kits: laurelkit (hurricane), valleymist alpinemask family tree' i wake alone and pretend that i am finally home.

` gorseberry: medicine cat . alive artist: amethyst14
♚ gorseberry's life began in the middle of a city, when he was named gorse. he lived with his parents and an older brother named boomer. originally, his parents were both kittypets, but they escaped when they learned that his mother was pregnant with gorse and boomer. when he was litttle more than a kit, however, gorse's family was attacked by hostile rogues who sought to drive them away. the last memory gorseberry has of his family was watching boomer fight against several of the rogues at gorseberry's defense, despite his young age and how much smaller he was than the rogues.
in the aftermath, gorse was taken from the city, and the rogues led him far away to the distant moorland. half-starved, dehydrated, and sick, it was a miracle when the rogues turned their backs long enough for gorse to slip away, only to run into a quickclan patrol who jumped into action to help rescue him. blizzardrush and redstar were eager to help, and gorse was too happy to follow them back to their camp with the promise of food and a place to sleep where he would be safe. for the first time, he finally felt like he belonged somewhere.
under blizzardrush's mentorship, gorsepaw struggled to keep up the complex fighting moves. unlike patchpaw and berrypaw, who learned quickly, gorsepaw had trouble in the training, and it became quickly evident that he would never be a skilled warrior. as much as he and blizzardrush trained, it was only a matter of time until gorsepaw set his sights on the medicine cats' den and ivystripe.
before he could ask ivystripe about becoming her apprentice, however, ivystripe died giving birth to her kits. however, gullfeather filled ivystripe's place and agreed to train the shy tom as her apprentice, in exchange for his company in her new clan. after many moons of training, gorseberry received his full name and was accepted as a medicine cat.
gorseberry and gullfeather were extremely close and, as such, gullfeather's death hit him extremely hard. she was the one who encouraged gorseberry to experience what the world had to offer him, and was supportive when she recognized the signs of his sneaking away from camp to visit dusklight in groveclan. he still carries immense guilt that he was not with gullfeather when she was murdered.
on the outside, gorseberry comes across as extremely timid and shy, as someone who needs a gentle nudge to come out of his shell. as he continues to grow older, however, he has become slowly more confident in himself, which his attributes to spending time with the likes of patchwing, oakseed, and dusklight in particular. he is also harbors a natural affinity for healing and caring about others, as seen when he visited groveclan after dusklight lost his eye, and when he took autumnpaw under his wing as his apprentice.
he is prone to extremes, and often sways between soaring high moments of elation, and deep moments of grief and sadness. gorseberry is very empathetic and feels deeply for others. when unable to help someone he cares for, gorseberry suffers alongside his loved one.
though quickclan medicine cats are known for not faring well when it comes to falling in love, gorseberry fell in love with dusklight after they met at a gathering, and considers dusklight both his best friend, and the love of his life.
joined at 10 moons prev. gorse, gorsepaw mate: dusklight (grove) mentor: blizzardrush (temporary), gullfeather apprentice: autumnflower ' stretch the moments when we lock our eyes.

` autumnflower: medicine cat . alive artist: deimos
♚ originally born in wildclan, autumnpaw's stay in her birth clan did not last long. as a young kit, the adventurous molly found herself lost in the darkness of her blindness in unfamiliar territory. it was a miracle that she managed to survive on her own for as long as she had, and when the quickclan patrol found the lost kit, they brought her immediately to the nursery where she could be kept safely. though plans were made to take autumnpaw back to wildclan, mothtail became protective over the young kit and would have fought to keep her as her own kit. as no moves had been made by wildclan to seek her back, redstar ultimately decided that autumnpaw would be allowed to stay in quickclan as one of their own.
it became quickly evident that autumnpaw was not like the other kits. though still responsive and energetic like her denmates, gullfeather suspected that autumnpaw was blind, despite mothtail's best efforts to keep it a secret, scared of what redstar might do when he discovered that the orphaned kit was blind as well. for several moons, gullfeather and mothtail worked hard to hide autumnpaw's blindness, training her to navigate without sight and being able to play and act as the other kits. however, the rouse did not last long. upon the discovery, however, redstar made no comment and autumnpaw was seen as just another kit.
as gullfeather worked on hiding her own pregnancy from the clan, she passed the responsibility of checking in on autumnpaw and helping her navigate the camp to gorseberry, who harbored an immediate affection for the young kit, and he was determined to make her life as normal as possible. in turn, autumnpaw appreciated the attention gorseberry gave her, enjoying her time with the medicine cats so much that she finally expressed interest in training to become one herself. when the time came, it was settled that gorseberry would take over the responsibility of training autumnpaw to become a medicine cat.
despite her blindness, autumnpaw has never felt that she is put at a disadvantage. as a kit, she was adventurous and eager to learn as much as she could. a very fast learner and equipped with a sharp mind ensures that autumnpaw will never let anything get in her way if she wants it. even when she was young, autumnpaw was noted for having a sharp tongue and quick wit, which might be attributed to spending so much of her time with gullfeather and alpinemask. she has a special affection for gorseberry, who is gentle with her, but has never gone out of his way to make learning easy.
she also has a special interest in flintpaw, who was blinded in a battle with nolan's group. after flintpaw lost his eyesight completely, autumnpaw went to the dark tom, to offer an ear to listen if he ever needed it. the longer flintpaw stayed in the medicine cats' den, the closer the pair became as friends. since then, autumnpaw made it a point to help teach flintpaw how to navigate the world.
joined at 1 moon prev. autumnkit, autumnpaw mate: dandelionspring kits: amberkit, apricotkit, robinkit mentor: gorseberry apprentice: lycheepaw ' seeing all the rainbows, i got an idea.

` falconflight: warrior . alive artist: amethyst14 ♚ once a warrior of brineclan, falconflight was left to wander on his own when the small clan broke up. before brineclan, falconflight lived as a kittypet, constantly staring into the nearby wilderness. when he finally worked up the nerve to plunge out of the comforts of constant food and his collar, he decided that he would never go back. he believes that he is better for that, that there is no life that he would rather have. after brineclan, falconflght wandered for some time before he happened upon the wide expanse of moorland. in the face of an incoming storm, however, falconflight was lucky to find shelter with an energetic loner named cyan who lived in a barn and has already taken into another former clan cat named blizzardrush. together, the trio became fast friends, with cyan allowing the warriors to stay as long as they wished in exchange for stories of their clans and travels. when cyan went out to find the rumored redstar who was founding a clan, falconflight was conflicted at first. he had been a witness to a failed clan in the past and lost his old friends - he wasn't prepared to lose blizzardrush, and especially not cyan, who was already becoming quickly enamored with. however, after some prompting, he agreed to follow his friends and become one of quickclan's first warriors. not a particularly ambitious cat, falconflight is content to hang back and support his loved ones as best as he can. whereas cyanslash began to rise through the ranks to become deputy and later leader - cyanstar - falconflight is content with his position as a trusted warrior. he would do anything for quickclan, but this comes with the underlying motive of protecting the clan to protect his family. falconflight is not a natural leader and prefers to act under a supporting role. much like cyanstar, falconflight had the chance to make friends outside of quickclan, and considers turtledove of hazeclan one of his best friends. when turtledove agreed to surrogate kits for falconflight and cyanstar, falconflight was especially appreciative, and he would be the first to run to her defense in any situation. a devoted mate and father, falconflight would do anything to keep them safe. though he is not particularly keen on fighting, falconflight is a strong cat with unexpected agility. he has trained even into his moons as a warrior, and is always looking for new ways to improve himself. joined at 24 moons prev. n/a apprentices: oriolefeather, frogwatcher, lambpaw mate: cyanstar kits: twiteflight (adoptive), dandelionspring, dovewish, finchthroat, cricketchirp falconflight family tree' remember when you taught me fate.
