The Four Clans

[sporelett]

PROFILE: THUNDERCLAN

valued qualities: Bravery, Passion
territory: Dense Forest
prey: Rodents, Birds, Rabbits
population: Approx. 30 Individuals

overview:

A forest-dwelling Clan known for their fondness for hunting birds and tree-dwelling rodents. They have a reputation for being outspoken cats with a willingness to stray from tradition in difficult circumstances. They enjoy good hunting for most of the year and tend to be a fairly large Clan. Recently tensions within the Clan have risen towards the cats dwelling across the river. Popular opinion in ThunderClan currently holds that RiverClan's new half-Clan leader is the reason for StarClan's continued silence, and that the Clan should be purged for the good of all.

PROFILE: SHADOWCLAN

valued qualities: Pride, Cunning
territory: Marshland
prey: Snakes, Lizards, Frogs, Rodents
population: Approx. 35 Individuals

overview:

A Clan known for their ambition and secretive nature, said to be cold-hearted and scheming. Their territory is a dark, damp marsh separated from the other three territories by the thunderpath. Unlike other Clans they willingly eat frogs and snakes, as well as dining on Twoleg leavings from carrionplace. Their territory is prey-poor, but a stretch of good fortune has led to increased numbers in their Clan. Currently ShadowClan is experiencing a division over the silence of StarClan. While many cats believe that StarClan is watching still and will eventually return, a growing group want to renounce their ancestors and deviate from their traditions. Suspicion between the two camps runs high, and core group of rebels have left Clan territory entirely.

PROFILE: WINDCLAN

valued qualities: Loyalty, Agility
territory: Moorland
prey: Mainly Rabbits
population: Approx. 35 Individuals

overview:

A hardy Clan dwelling on the high, windy moors near Mothermouth. Although the cats of this Clan must be swift in order to catch the rabbits that are their prey, they are prolific, and have traditionally been one of the largest Clans. WindClan cats are known to be smaller than those of other Clans, and tend to keep to themselves. After over a year of silence from StarClan, the cats of this Clan have given up on their ancestors ever returning and adopted a new faith. They now worship their leader as a prophet, going to her for wisdom and guidance even more than before. However, since the leader's new ascension to divine being, she is rarely ever seen except by those closest to her, her will usually being delivered to the Clan through the deputy or medicine cat.

PROFILE: RIVERCLAN

valued qualities: Strength, Cleverness
territory: River & Surrounding Grassland
prey: Fish, Rodents
population: Approx. 25 Individuals

overview:

A Clan of sleek cats with water-repellant fur. They are usually well-fed because of the steady supply of fish they hunt from the river, but tend to have small litters and therefore have one of the lowest populations of any Clan. They are a Clan to be respected, however, because of the ingenuity and power RiverClan cats tend to possess. They have a long-standing rivalry with ThunderClan over territory bordering the river, but are otherwise laid-back cats with a love for beauty. Their old leader died shortly before StarClan first stopped speaking to the Clans, and their half-Clan deputy was raised to leader in her place.
