I don't have many rules because a clan is supposed to be fun and not overwhelming. I may add rules as we go along. If you have any questions at all, feel free to message me. I will reply back as fast as I can c:
About Towheeclan lives in Southern California in a small forest that is close to the beach. The clan is named after the naive species Towhee bird, which is the common prey norm.
Towheeclan cats tend to be lean and slender. They need to be light on their paws while stalking prey in the forest or on the beach. However, there are cats who are thick with broad shoulders because of the genetic variety. There is not a common eye or pelt color for the clan. The clan lives close to twolegs; therefore, they have many interactions with other rogues and kittypets. The clan has an average nkittypets that have joined the clan. have many cats that join and leave the clan in a given year.
Twoheeclan is not a traditional clan. They are accepting towards outsiders. They encourage their members to make friends outside of the clan, even as going as far as to allow some of the friendlier rogues and kittypets into their camp. It is a sign of their good graces.
History Towheeclan's existence started with two kittypets that were abandoned by their owners. Their names were Max and Cali. They met a loner named Finch, who was growing tired of being alone and having to struggle to survive. Finch took Max and Cali under his supervision and together, the trio was able to find a forest where a small family of cats was living. The family was open to becoming a bigger group, especially with the appeal of someone helping to hunt since they just had a litter of kits on top of their still young previous litter. After a few seasons, the small group grew into a clan. Cats tended to stumble upon them and some stayed with the clan, while others sought refuge before leaving.
Finch became Finchstar, the first leader. Max became Braveheart, the first deputy. Cali became Littlefoot, the first medicine cat. The established family was willing to change their names as well to adjust to the new clan: Arch(Archfeather) & Mae (Mayflower), Liz (Lizardtooth), Opal (Opalpaw/shine), Steven (Spiderpaw/foot), Trevor (Treepaw/fur), Cree (Creekkit/Creektail), and Webster (Webkit/Webclaw).
The clan has adopted a welcoming policy. Most of the cats still remember their parents and their grandparent's pain when they lost their homes and were lost before they found the clan. The clan will welcome any outsider that needs help, whether they want to stay forever or for a few days.
The clan may be welcoming to others yet they are wary. Once Towheeclan allowed a she-cat into the clan and stay with them for a few days. The she-cat told their leader that she had just lost her kits and she needed to rest. A few nights later, one of the clan kits went missing and so did the she-cat. She was never seen again, nor was poor Silverkit.
Currently, the clan is approximately 12 years old.
Territory and Camp
Towheeclan is located in a forest that is along a beach. The territory is not completely flat and has some hills. Beyond the forest lies the twolegplace and a meadow with flowers. There is a small creek that runs through the territory, running from north to south. 1. Big Water is what the clan calls it. Some of the cats excel at fishing in its shallow waters but most of the clan tends to play in the water. They are wary of the tides and will issue a warning if the clan feels like there is too much danger. 2. Beach is a good hunting grounds for the clan cats. The birds tend to flock on the beach, along with other creatures that they like to nibble on like crabs and sometimes turtles. The beach is a good place to practice battle moves. 3. Camp was built upon a small hill, that way the clan wouldn't be completely vulnerable if someone would sneak up on them. The barrier around camp is built from brambles, sticks, and bushes. 4. Little Stream is another landmark that is named after one of the first members of the clan. It is the only constant source of water in the territory unless the clan goes into the town to get water. Although, most of the clan avoids drinking the town water, claiming that it has a funny taste. 5. Red Town is where the humans and most of the kittypets live at. The clan will venture here to either catch house mice or find some herbs. 6. Cali Meadow is named after one of the founders of the clan. Her favorite place was the meadow, especially when the flowers bloomed. It is a good hunting place for the clan, along with a place to find herbs and to conduct battle training sessions. Towheeclan's camp on a hillside tucked in a thicket of trees, shrubs, and bushes. The clan has added brambles and sticks for more protection. Most of the dens are small burrows were made in the ground by the original members of the clan. The burrows are located underneath bushes to help repel rain and since the majority of the den is in the ground, the cats can keep cool during the day and night.
Prey & Predators Towheeclan's main diet consists of mice, squirrels, birds, and fish. Sometimes, they will eat frogs, crabs, and certain types of turtles if they find them. The clan has few natural predators. They have to watch out for hawks and other birds of prey. They are fearful of stray dogs and humans that come into the territory for a hike or going to the beach. Sometimes the napper tries to set traps for the cats.
California Birds || maybe I will add more links about California wildlife later
Seasons & Weather Newleaf (X) The weather is mild in the morning and warm in the afternoon. It seems to rain every three-four days; however, there has been no thunderstorms. Greenleaf (_) Leaffall (_) Leafbare (_)
Joining Form
Please use this joining form. Your cats can be related to the original members if you please. There are some key first members listed in the history. Just remember that the first members are all dead and their kits are also dead or elders. I use the three prefixes rule. Once the prefixes have been used three times, they will be added on here and no-one can use that prefix.
Name || Gender || ? moons || Rank Description & Personality || Relationships (family/crushes/mate) || History & Other || @ Username (delete the space) optional - you can include a photo of your character if you want (I will put it in a spoiler)
Plots and News This is where the clan's plots and news will go.
Future Plot Idea: The village council of Red Town has decided that there are too feral cats in town and the outskirts of town. The townspeople are starting to set live traps in the forest and within in alleyways to capture cats and to rehabilitate them. The clan is starting to become wary as their clanmates slowly start being trapped and taken to the dreaded animal shelter in town. At first, the clan is not aware that it is two legs who are taking their clanmates until a patrol encounters a trap Possible Ideas: Perhaps the village sends out dogs to remove the cats or starts to poison their food supply.
Credits disclaimer - I live in Ohio. I have never been to California, sorry if my information is skewed.

Allegiances
Leader
Mossystar || Female || 43 moonsThis she-cat is unassuming in the physical sense. She is short and somewhat plump; however, she is muscular underneath. She has a soft-looking exterior. Mossystar has chocolate brown fur with darker mackerel tabby stripes. She has round mossy green eyes. || Mossynose is a seemingly mellow she-cat. She does not lose her composure often and is extremely patient when dealing with her various clanmates. Thus, allowing her to be a wonderful teacher. And she does enjoy helping apprentices and kits learn. She finds the younger generation refreshing and downright amusing to observe. Mossynose can be a headstrong she-cat. She does not appreciate being told what to do. Especially now, since she is the leader of the clan. She takes kindly to advise and suggestions but once you try to bully her into doing something she wants no part of her. She will lash back at you with stern words. When this she-cat issues an order, she expects it to be done or a darn good explanation why her order wasn't accomplished. I wouldn't say that this she-cat has a sharp-tongued, yet she is witty and playful. Sometimes, she may come across as sarcastic because of those traits. She cannot help the way she was raised, her parents both had smooth and sharp tongues. Mossynose is quite playful and sometimes have the tendency to act like a kit when she thinks no-one is watching. Mossynose has a reputation that she needs to withhold, the serious and gentle deputy, not the hyperactive one. || Her mother is Poppyleaf. Her brothers are Elmwhisker and Raggedfinch. Her kits are Linnetpaw and Jaypaw. || She was born in Towheeclan. Her warrior name was Mossynose. She became a leader when she was 26 moons old. || Blaze ♡ Deputy
Dapplefeather || She-cat || 30 moonsDapplefeather is a relatively largely built, long-haired, Maine Coon, with relatively average paws for her size. Her eyes are those of one's who you might become lost in. Her irises are of a dark navy blue color it seems to hold an endless ocean abyss. Around her pupils lightly scattered are golden flecks, enhancing the mysterious aura her eyes originally hold. She is very persistent in keeping her pelt shiny and tidy. Her pelt primarily consists mostly of an off-white cream color, with light fawn colored paws speckled with white on her toes. Dark stone grey speckles splatter lightly along the middle of her back and fade into her flanks the further they spread down. Her tail is long and quite plummy, to say the least, being a light off-white cream and ending with a fawn tail tip and a hint of grey speckles among it. || Dapplefeather, to say the least, is very social. Not to say that in a bad way; she also loves to eagerly express what's on her mind, and what she's thinking. Her personality is also sometimes feisty, although, she is very sweet and soft-spoken. She tends to have a more motherly composure towards the kits. Dapplefeather strongly believes in that making mistakes and getting hurt is a lesson in itself and that those are the only ways you will truly learn on your own. Around her friends she is polite but kind of has a sarcastic tendency. Dapplefeather is reckless at times and energetic. She's daring, and enjoys taking the riskier way to accomplishing things, simply because she believes finding new ways to do old things is entertaining|| Sister to Silvermist and Wolfheart. Open to Mates || 𝒯𝓌𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑒𝒹𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉 † Medicine Cat & Apprentice
Claimed by Inky - please make sure your character is at least 24 moons since they have an apprenticeLinnetpaw || Male || 10 moons He is a lean tom with long, lanky legs. He has medium length, plush fur that is the color of honey brown with tabby markings. He has three white paws and a white tail-tip. He has soft, icy blue eyes. || Linnetpaw is a warm and amiable tom. He is easy to approach and he tends to treat others with respect unless he finds them to be intolerable, in which case he will go out of his way to avoid them. He loves to learn and he greatly enjoys helping his clanmates. However, he never felt the drive to contribute to the Clan in the traditional sense and was pleased when he was accepted a medicine cat apprentice. || His mother is Mossystar. His brother is Jaypaw. || Linnetpaw is bisexual, although he prefers male partners. || Blaze ♡ Warriors
Elmwhisker || Male || 43 moonsHe is a large yet lean tom with long legs. He does have large paws. He has thick medium length, dark brown fur with tabby markings. He had flecks of black along his spine. He has forest green eyes. He has a scar on his shoulder from an accident when he was an apprentice. Elmwhisker can be a friendly tom and tends to be easy-going. He does have a skewed sense of humor and is very sarcastic. Sometimes he can be rather sharp-tongued, especially if he gets annoyed. He is incredibly loyal and is the type of tom that is a forever friend. Elmwhisker can be ambitious and determined especially once he has his mind set on a certain goal that he wants to achieve.|| His mother is Poppyleaf. His siblings are Mossystar and Raggedfinch. || Born in the clan || Blaze ♡ Raggedfinch || Male || 43 moonsHe is a lean tom with a muscular build, he is good at endurance running and tracking, He has thick, brown fur with reddish tints. He has pale green eyes. He also has a few scars on his shoulders and one on his leg from former battles, mostly from foxes. Raggedfinch is an easy-going and charismatic tom. He enjoys being among his Clanmates and has no problem in taking the lead on patrols, especially during situations where some of his clanmates tend to struggle with. He is a natural leader, although he doesn't have any ambition to become something more than a warrior. He is quite nurturing and attentive. He enjoys kits and young apprentices. He likes helping them learn. He also finds their sense of humor and ability to blurt out things without a filter very amusing. This tom cannot wait to find a mate and have kits of his own. || His mother is Poppyleaf. His siblings are Elmwhisker and Mossystar. || Born in the clan || Blaze ♡ Silvermist || She-cat || 30 moonsSilvermist, just like her sister Dappledfeather, is relatively large Maine coon. Both sister standing a bit larger than your average Maine coon she-cat. Silvermist has bright, electric amber eyes, that tend to burn right into you with intensity. It's definitely one of the aspects that makes her look very intimidating. Her coat is long, thick, and fluffy keeping her warm in the winter moons and making her die of heat exhaust at another time of the year. She has a light gray base coat with intense darker gray markings of your typical tabby with a white mane that fluffs up around her neck. Her underbelly, chest and tail tip is white. Often described as sassy, irritable, and overly invested in other peoples business, not exactly the nicest of qualities. That and the fact that it gets herself into some pretty sticky situations. Silvermist comes across as harsh, though once she opens up to you, the girl can be a sweetheart of a companion. She is loyal to a fault and a bit stubborn and sharp-tongued, refusing to take no for an answer. She is determined and a bit of a perfectionist, which in turn goes hand in hand with her not-so-nice qualities. Silvermist has a bit of a difficulty showing a softer, more emotional side, but once she does, it’s like she has become a whole new person || Sister to Dapplefeather and Wolfheart. Open to Mates || 𝒯𝓌𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑒𝒹𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉 † Wolfheart || Tom || 30 moonsJust like his sisters, Wolfheart is a large main coon. He towers over both of them though, so I guess you could say abnormally large. Wolfheart has big bright green eyes that almost seem as if the turn different shades of green at different times. He has a long tabby marked coat, that keeps him incredibly warm in the winter months. Some like to say his sister look almost identically except for their eye color, and they're right. Wolfheart was the odd one out of the litter, getting their mothers brownish hued pelt, while his sisters got the silver-hued pelt from their father. He has a medium brown base coat with hints of silver in between his black tabby stripes. || Wolfheart is fairly intelligent and friendly to his clan-mates and is rather playful. He enjoys spending his time playing with the kits or battle training with the apprentices. Though, he has his moments when he just likes to relax and not have to worry so much. Due to Wolfheart's large muscular frame, he is a very skilled fighter, but he tends to enjoy hunting more, even though he is at more of a disadvantage to most cats due to his large size. Wolfheart has a genuine caring and nurturing nature and he hopes to one day meet the right she-cat and have kits of his own.| Brother to Dapplefeather and Silvermist. Open to Mates || 𝒯𝓌𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑒𝒹𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉 † Littledove || Female || 26 moonsThis she-cat may look like a deity from the skies, with her pure white fur and willowy figure. Yet looks can be rather deceiving with this young female. She is quite rambunctious and most never saw it coming since they judge her by appearance. Littledove has ivory white fur with no impairments from other colors, she is pure white. Her fur is soft to the touch, almost like a domesticated rabbit. She has slender, willowy figure with long legs. She has rounded shoulders that give her that softer appearance. She is graceful, which fills most stereotypes about females; however, her soft complexion does hide strong and nimble muscles under her snowy coat. She has round light blue almost gray eyes. They tend to shift in color on the day. || If you do not know Littledove well enough, you would think that she is a well-mannered and sophisticated feline. Littledove actively enjoys allowing cats to assume that, she loves being underestimated. In reality, Littledove is a wild card. This she-cat lives for the wild side of life. She wants adventures and dangers, not some boring life where she can't reach her full potential! She likes to have fun, like climbing the tallest tree in the territory or scaling up mountain cliffs to get a beautiful view of the territory. It is a surprise that she hasn't died yet. She is typically in the medicine cat den for a cut or torn claw or a tear in her ear. Don't get me wrong, Littledove is a lovely feline and quite charismatic too. She knows how to handle a crowd with a swish of her tail and beautiful smile. She is compassionate towards her clanmates and would do anything for her clan within reason. Littledove has entertained the idea of slowing down and starting a family once she gets older, although she has high standards. || Echoriver is her sister. They had a brother but he refused to join the clan with them. || Joined the clan as an apprentice || Blaze ♡ Echoriver || Female || 26 moonsEcho has always been the smallest out of her siblings. This pretty she-cat looks like an apprentice because of her short stature. She has a lithe built body and is lightweight. She has faint paw-steps making her a great hunter and allowing her to easily sneak up on anyone. Echoriver has a soft over-coat of silvery white while her base coat is just a slightly darker silvery grey color. She has overlaying faint tabby markings and a white tail tip. She has a few darker grey flecks along her spine, paws, and muzzle. Echoriver shares her families' blue eyes trait and her eyes are a soft baby, blue. || Echoriver is the most level-headed out of all of her siblings, especially compared to her sister. She is rather quiet and has a calming presence. This small she-cat has a huge heart and is usually called the dreamer out of her family. She always tries to see the good in everyone and some say that Echoriver is native but that is false. She isn't native, just hopeful and very determined. She knows everything does not go to plan no matter what you wished it to be. Once she sets her mind on something, it usually gets done as quickly as she can manage it. She is a social butterfly, this little she-cat is, she loves to chatter and doesn't like to stay in one place for too long. When she is usually done with her normal duties, she sometimes will join up with one of the other groups to tag along with. || Her sister is Littledove, they had a brother but he refused to join the clan with them. They haven't seen him since they decided to join.. || Joined the clan as an apprentice || Blaze ♡ Apprentices (1/8)
Jaypaw || Male || 10 moonsHe is a large and broad tom. This tom is built for fast and brutal encounters. He has dark sandy brown fur with flickers of gray mottled in, especially along his back and legs. Jaypaw has round blue eyes that are typically dark in color. He has a scar on his muzzle, he got too close to a critter out of curiosity and it lashed out at him. His reflexes were fast enough to save him from being blinded but he had a harsh scar on his muzzle that finally started to heal slightly. || Jaypaw can be friendly tom. He is playful when he is around his brother. He can be stubborn and can revert to harsh mannerisms to get his point across. He can be sharp-tongued and does tend to get easily annoyed, especially if he is asked to repeat himself. He is well-driven, hardworking, and bit of perfectionist. He will put everything he has into whatever he is working on to make sure it turns out perfect. || His mother is Mossystar. His brother is Linnetpaw. || Blaze ♡ Queens & Kits (0/2)
open - however, I am allowing two currently since I have been burnt out on queens many many many times when making clans Elders
Poppyleaf || Female || 89 moonsShe is a brown she-cat with tabby markings and leaf-green eyes. She has a white muzzle, paw, and tail-tip. She is lean; however, she is a little on the skinny side as she has gotten older. She does have bits of gray fur on her face and throughout her pelt. Poppyleaf is a friendly she-cat. She has always had an outgoing attitude since she was a kit, and nothing has changed since she retired from being a warrior. She can be sharp-tongued, which is a trait she developed over time as she dealt with her stubborn clanmates. || Her kits are Elmwhisker, Raggedfinch, and Mossystar. (Her mate is open) || She was born in the clan to one of the three founding members. || Blaze ♡

Foxglove - can cause heart attack if overdosed Battle Moves
Back Kick - Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully, then lash out with your back legs, taking all weight on your front paws.
Belly Rake - A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws against the soft flesh of the opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back into control.
Front Paw Blow - Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head. Claws sheathed.
Front Paw Strike/Forepaw Slash - Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the face or body of your opponent.
Killing Bite - A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable. Used only as a last resort.
Leap-and-hold - Ideal for a small cat facing a larger opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of the opponent's paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way. Watch for the drop-and-roll counter move, and try to jump free before you get squashed.
Partner Fighting - Warriors who have trained and fought together will often fall instinctively into a defensive position, each protecting each other's back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for attackers.
Play Dead - Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes their grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in attacking position.
Scruff Shake - Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponent's neck; then shake violently until they are too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, who are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.
Tail Yank - Grab your opponent's tail and yank it with such force your opponent is thrown off balance.
Teeth Grip - Target your opponent's extremities- the legs, tail, scruff or ears- and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.
Upright Lock - Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring weight down on opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip them under you. This makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so it takes great strength and speed.
Half-Turn Belly Rake - Turn onto your side, slip under the opponent's belly, rake it with your claws, then swiftly turn back onto all fours out from under your opponent.
Badger Defense: Leap over opponent, turn on your back legs and bite opponent's leg. Used only when fighting badgers.
Duck and Twist: Simple defensive move. The cat ducks then twists around, rolling over onto their back, and then springs to their paws.
Jump and pin: Complicated move. Leap backwards, and bounce off the wall. With precise accuracy, land on the cat. Ceremonies • Apprentice Ceremony

Dapplefeather || She-cat || 30 moons Dapplefeather is a relatively largely built, long-haired, Maine Coon, with relatively average paws for her size. Her eyes are those of one's who you might become lost in. Her iris's are of a dark navy blue color at seems to hold an endless ocean abyss. Around her pupils lightly scattered are golden flecks, enhancing the mysterious aura her eyes originally hold. She is very persistent in keeping her pelt shiny and tidy. Her pelt primarily consists mostly of an off-white cream color, with light fawn colored paws speckled with white on her toes. Dark stone grey speckles splatter lightly along the middle of her back and fade into her flanks the further they spread down. Her tail is long and quite plumey to say the least, being a light off-white cream and ending with a fawn tail tip and hint of grey speckles among it. Dapplefeather, to say the least, is very social. Not to say that in a bad way; she also loves to eagerly express what's on her mind, and what she's thinking. Her personality is also sometimes feisty, although, she is very sweet and soft spoken. She tends to have a more motherly composure towards the kits. Dapplefeather strongly believes in that making mistakes and getting hurt is a lesson in itself and that those are the only ways you will truly learn on your own. Around her friends she is polite but kind of has a sarcastic tendency. Dapplefeather is reckless at times and energetic. She's daring, and enjoys taking the riskier way to accomplishing things, simply because she believes finding new ways to do old things is entertaining|| Sister to Silvermist and Wolfheart.

Silvermist || She-cat || 30 moons Silvermist just like her sister Dappledfeather is relatively large maine coon. Both sister standing a bit larger than your average maine coon she-cat. Silvermist has bright, electric amber eyes, that tend to burn right into you with intensity. It's definitely one of the aspects that makes her look very intimidating. Her coat is long, thick, and fluffy keeping her warm in the winter moons, and making her die of heat exhaust at another time of the year. She has a light gray base coat with intense darker gray markings of your typical tabby with a white mane that fluffs up around her neck.Her underbelly, chest and tail tip is white. Often described as sassy, irritable, and overly invested in other peoples business, not exactly the nicest of qualities. That and the fact that it gets herself into some pretty sticky situations. Silvermist comes across as harsh, though once she opens up to you, the girl can be a sweetheart of a companion. She is loyal to a fault and a bit stubborn and sharp-tongued, refusing to take no for an answer. She is determined and a bit of a perfectionist, which in turn goes hand in hand with her not-so-nice qualities. Silvermist has a bit of a difficulty showing a softer, more emotional side, but once she does, it’s like she has become a whole new person|| Sister to Dapplefeather and Wolfheart.

Wolfheart || Tom || 30 moons Just like his sisters Wolfheart is a large main coon. He towers over both of them though, so I guess you could say abnormally large. Wolfheart has big bright green eyes that almost seem as if the turn different shades of green at different times. He has a long tabby marked coat, that keeps him incredibly warm in the winter months. Some like to say his sister look almost identically except for their eye color, and they're right. Bramblepelt was the odd one out of the litter, getting their mothers brownish hued pelt, while his sisters got the silver hued pelt from their father. He has medium brown base coat with hints of silver in between his black tabby stripes. Wolf heart is fairly intelligent and friendly to his clanmates, and is rather playful. He enjoys spending his time playing with the kits or battle training with the apprentices. Though, he has his moments when he just likes to relax and not have to worry so much. Due to Wolfheart's large muscular frame, he is a very skilled fighter, but he tends to enjoy hunting more, even though he is at more of a disadvantage to most cats due to his large size. Wolfheart has a genuine caring and nurturing nature and he hopes to one day meet the right she-cat and have kits of his own.| Brother to Dapplefeather and Silvermist.

Linnetpaw laughed as he pounced on a moss ball. He hooked it with his claws before tossing it in the air, not caring what it might look like to see an almost full-grown tom still playing kitten games. He batted back towards his brother and laughed with glee as it hit his brother straight in the chest. "Yes! One point for Linnetpaw!," he cheered, bouncing on his paws. His tail flickering around excitedly as his eyes lit up. He was so going to win their game today.
Jaypaw watched his brother bound after the moss ball and narrowed his eyes, tracing the ball's movement as Linnetpaw through it in the air. He glanced over towards the apprentice den, thinking he heard his name for a moment. His attention snapped back to his brother as he felt the moss ball collide with his chest. "Linnetpaw," he scoffed, his gaze snapping back to his brother as he glared at his brother. "You are cheating," he huffed, shaking his head, "I wasn't even looking." He swore someone called his name... unless Linnetpaw set this up somehow.
Mistycreek watched the two apprentices play with the moss ball from across camp. Her blue eyes bright with interest as she watched them play. She missed the days when Echoriver and the other warriors were willing to play with a moss ball. She was lucky if she could even get Echoriver to anything fun nowadays. Her sister just wanted to rest or go for boring walks outside of patrolling and hunting.
