DAUNTLESSCLAN
Welcome... to where dreams are made and broken... where second chances are given and taken... and where DauntlessClan lives and dies
INTRO
A small gray tabby carefully makes her way across the dark forest. The trees' branches stretch like cobweb above the tabby's head, and birds chirp cheerfully throughout the forest. Golden sparkling sunlight filters through the thick covering of the trees, and it's just light enough to see where one is going. It seemed to be the perfect territory.
The tabby she-cat makes her away across the forest quietly and quickly, and flinches every time she crackles a dried leaf or snaps a small twig. She knew what was in this forest. She heard the stories of the dreadful, wild clan cats that lived in the forest.
No outside cat dare walk through the middle of their territory. However, the gray tabby she-cat had no choice. The river that ran through the territory and beyond was huge and monstrous, and there was only one way to avoid it: to walk up across the territory and cross the river at the only calm and shallow patch there was.
The she-cat began to wonder about the wild cats. She pictured them lurking the shadows, ready to pounce on her and kill her without mercy. She could practically see their sharp claws and gleaming teeth.
A loud snap of wood made her freeze in her steps. -what was that?- she thought, heart pounding fast in her chest. Her ears pricked in alert, and she scanned her surroundings, looking for the source of the sound.
"Well, look what we have here..." A cold voice said behind the tabby. The tabby turned around in an instant, breathing fast in anticipation. "I-I just want to cross the river. I don't want to hunt or anything." the gray she-cat said shakily to the cat she saw in front of her. The cat was a small, light brown tabby tom and he had no expression as she stared back at the gray tabby.
"I believe you." the tom said curtly. "However, you are trespassing on our territory. And for that, you have two choices..." his voice made the gray she-cat shiver in dread.
"One, I will escort you out, and you are never to return..." the brown tom said simply. "Or two, you may stay and see if you qualify to become a warrior of our clan." he made the offer seem very simple, but the gray tabby was unsure of what to do. But she had to answer quickly, that she knew.
"I... I want to become a warrior. I want to stay." she said confidently, no longer afraid to look at the tom. The tom smiled, his face showing satisfaction. And he said to her,

ABOUT
DauntlessClan is a tough clan that lives in a harsh climate of frigid winters and scorching summers. For the most part, they are protected by both of the harsh seasons by the forest that they live in. It protects them from cold winds and deep snow in the winter, and provides lots of shade from the hot sun in the summer. They are know to be very proud of their clan and heritage. They are very brave in battle and even in every day life. They do not accept cats are cowardly. In fact, the final test for an apprentice to become a warrior is about being brave (more info on this in Rituals). They can be cautious of a stranger (loner, rougue, kitty-pet), but every so often a cat outside of the clan will be accepted after being tested to see if they are worthy to join. Overall, DauntlessClan is a brave clan, that is proud of who they are, and would do anything to protect their clan.
TRADITIONS
Apprentice into Warrior
To become a warrior, an apprentice has to go through a final test. The first part is hunting. In the second part, DauntlessClan apprentices have to walk across The Endless River of Death on a fallen down tree. The apprentices are tricked to think that one of their clanmates is hurt across the river across the fallen tree. The apprentices pass if they cross the tree, across the river, to reach their clanmate. Once this is done, they may become a warrior. Warriors do not talk about the second part of training, so apprentices do not know what to expect. To read more on the Endless River of Death, go to Territory.
Outside Cat into Clan Cat
If an outside cat (loner, rogue, kitty-pet) wants to join the clan, they have to go through a three part test. The test as a whole is to see their physical ability, personality, and true motives. The leader assigns a cat to talk to the outsider, so that this cat can collect information on him/her. Once this is done, and the outside cat seems to have good enough motive, then they move on to physical ability. The leader herself/himself will bring the cat out into the forest, and ask them to catch prey, climb a tree, try to swim in the lake, and so on. Since physical ability does not matter as much as personality and motives, if the cat does not do well on it, but does good on the rest, there is still a good chance this outside cat will be accepted. The third part is personality. The outside cat will be asked to kill an apprentice or kit to be accepted into the clan, or something similar. This is a trick to see how the outsider will react to this. Depending on how the cat reacts to this, the cat may or may not be accepted into the clan.
Burials
When a cat dies, the clan is very mournful of the loss. So when it is time to bury him/her, they build a soft nest to lay the body on in the ground. When they fill the hole with dirt, a cat close to them may chose to pick one of the purple, white, or yellow iris's that grow in the forest and place it in with the cat or on top of the grave when all the dirt is back in place. To mark the grave, they put a small circle of rocks around it.
HISTORY
DauntlessClan began long ago, when the world of warriors and clans was still new, and may things were still unknown. But it started with four brave souls of four young cats by the names of Mouse, Wing, Shadow, and Clover; these are the four cats who founded DauntlessClan. Four different cats, one dream: to create a clan of their own. So they spent many moons traveling and looking for the perfect place to make their clan. It was seven long moons later that they finally stumbled upon a moor. As they gazed down from a hill located on the moor, they could see a grassy field. Just beyond this field was a vast forest. They many branches of the many trees shadowed on the ground, making it cool and protected, and also beautiful. The four of them quickly agreed that this was the perfect place to start a clan. In the next five moons they worked hard to find cats in the area to join their small group. They welcomed loners, rogues, and kitty-pets that had the potential to be a great warrior for their clan. And before they knew it, their small group of four had become a large group of nearly twenty. But the peacefulness came to an end. A great threat came to the clan and their forest. It was angry rogues that hadn't wanted to join up with the clan. And now they wanted revenge on the new clan for taking the land they had once hunted on. On a dark and silent night, the rogues attcked the clan. This newly made clan fought hard to protect what they had built so hard on. It finally ended, but there was much sacrifice. The established leader of the group, Mouse, died, as well as many others. But the cats who died, formed the first StarClan cats up in the stars. Mouse sent a sign from up in StarClan, to Ivy, a former loner. Ivy listened to Mouse, even though it was dream. She discovered the MoonPath, which lead to the MoonRock. From there, Ivy was told to go and bring Clover. Ivy brough Clover back to the MoonRock, and Clover became the first nine lived leader. She was now Cloverstar and Ivy became the first medicine cat, whose name was changed to Ivyshadow. Cloverstar took immediate action to find more cats worthy of the title warrior in DauntlessClan. She rebuilt the clan into the glory it once was. She was the one who made the clan into the brave and proud it is now known for.
From then on, there has been many leaders, deputies, warriors, apprentices, kits, elders, and queens. But here are the ones that made stories pass from generation to generation to the current one.
Mouse: He was the first leader of DauntlessClan, even though he didn't have nine lives. He lead the clan very proudly, and died in clan first battle. He was known for the life he lived so generously.
Cloverstar: she was known for the change she made on the clan. She was known to be very brave, and something she used to say still passes down through the clan: "To have courage is not to be fearless. To be brave, you have to conquer your fear."
Ivyshadow: The first medicine cat of the clan that discovered the MoonPath and MoonRock. She was ultimately known for discovering most herbs and their uses.
Spiritsong: A warrior that is known for his sacrifice when cats attacked the DauntlessClan camp. He gave up his life to hide his mate that was in a bush some distance away, with their three newborn kits.
TERRITORY
DauntlessClan territory is mostly of forest, containing a lot of pine, oak, cedar, and birch trees, with a few willow, cherry, and maple trees. Throughout the territory towards the west, is the Endless River of Death. The cats do not use this river as a drinking supply except on the stretch of the river where it's calm and shallow (northwest area). Instead, they use the lake that is north of their camp (camp is in middle of territory). To the east of the camp, is a huge field that covers up 1/4 of the territory. Right beyond that field is a moor. They do not usually use the moor, unless there is a shortage of prey in the field and forest.
______________________________________________________
List of Important Land Marks
The Endless River of Death a.k.a. The Endless River ⁻ this river is not like most. It's very deep and wide, and the current of the water is very fast. A lot of the cats who fall into this river die because of the difficulty in getting out of the river once in it. The river is very long and that is where 'Endless' comes into he name.
MoonPath and MoonRock ⁻ North of camp, past the borders, there is a rocky flat path that leads to the MoonRock. This path, was called the MoonPath because of the safe passage it made to the MoonRock. It takes one full day from camp to the MoonRock, and back to camp. The MoonRock is in the middle of a rock clearing, and it is a huge, smooth gray rock, that sits proudly in its place.
The Lake ⁻ Even though they do not have a name for the lake, it is an important part of their territory. This is their main supply of water. It is located north of camp, almost north-east.

The Camp
The camp is a cave, located underground. There is a huge rocky clearing in the middle of the forest, and underneath one of the boulders, is a hole that leads down into the ground (a tunnel). This leads to a very large cave, that has high stone ceilings, and wide open space. All of the dens are caves, connected to the main large one. The nursery and medicine cats den are the only two caves that go deeper into the ground instead of being level with the ground of the main cave. The leaders, apprentices, warriors, and elders den are all level with the main cave. In the nursery there is another entrance that leads to a tunnel that goes up into the forest by the lake. The cave wasn't the original camp when the clan was first made, but after the battle they wanted something more hidden and safer.

Lionstar
He is a pale brown, tabby tom with white paws and dark forest green eyes. He has long legs, good for running, and a small lithe body. Lionstar is a serious but friendly cat. He doesn't like to waste time, and likes to keep himself busy. Lionstar is very slow to trust strange cats, especially rogues, because of the clan's past. He likes to know what goes on in the clan, and keeps up with how every cat is doing. He likes to spend time with his clanmates, and he'd sacrifice anything for them. Although in general he is friendly and calm, in a second he can turn stubborn and harsh. (Echobreeze)

Reddapple
Long-Haired white tom with dark orange dapples on his pelt. The orange dapples appear to be red in certain lights. He has dark blue eyes. He is medium size and build, and has good strength but isn't able to run as fast. Reddapple is an energetic tom with a humorous kind of mind. He believes it is a cats choice how they feel, and that a cat can choose to be happy. One thing he does not like is the rain, because of how it soaks into his long fur. The only family he has is his half-brother, Lionstar. (Echobreeze)
Nightheart
dark black she-cat with striking green eyes. She's smaller but muscular. She's not very good at hunting but at fighting she seems like an expert. Kind, and confident. She is sometimes insensitive to other cats and has a short-temper. She was a former rogue. (TheBlueDJ)

Flowerleaf
Light brown she-cat with beautiful blue eyes. Flowerleaf is shy and compassionate, and her soft eyes often help settle Clanmates down. She is sometimes a bit reckless, however, and her pride is hurt easily. (Shiningbreeze)

Dapplefur
Medium furred, brown, orange, and white calico, most of her left side is covered in the brown and orange patches and fades backing into the right side, and amber eyes. Dapplefur has trust problems, and at first she's super sarcastic, but she slowly starts to open up to a more bubbly excited tone, either that or a stern personality, she likes to play with other cats minds.

Eaglepaw
Eaglepaw is a white she-cat with big gray patches on her fur, and pale blue eyes. She is an average sized cat, and her smaller appearence makes cats surprised by how strong she is. She is a good tree climber, and skillful swimmer. Her fighting skills are okay, but her hunting skills could use a lot of work. Eaglepaw is a very energetic apprentice, and she likes to make conversation. A lot of times she will talk gossip, and won't think about her actions. Most of the time she means well, but she can get quite jealous and frustrated often. (Echobreeze)
Hawkpaw
A tabby tom with dark brown stripes that starts from his neck and ends at his tail. His nuzzle is milky white and goes all the way to his bottom of his tail. His tail is very fluffy and when embarrassed it fluffs up even more. Hawkpaw's eyes are hazel colored. His paws are jet black along with his ears and tail-tip is black also. He has nicks in both of his ears. A snappy, rude, shy, and grumpy tom. He doesn't like annoying cats that come and bother him. Though, whoever he likes, Hawkpaw is crazy and becomes annoying trying to get close to that special she-cat. Hawkpaw loves battle training rather than hunting. Hawkpaw hates it when other cats boss him around, but if that was the leader or deputy bossing him, he would do it. Hawkpaw is snarky when the heat comes making him tired more easily. (JayFeather23)
.........................................
Stormpaw
Stormpaw is a gray tabby tom with a medium-length pelt. He has blue eyes. Stormpaw can be outgoing on most days, but he can often be stubborn and defensive. He enjoys socializing - and will often hunt or run his worries off. He is eager to learn - especially battle moves. Stormpaw can seem a bit reckless and overconfident at times. (=-Stormwing-=)

She loves her kits, and would do anything to protect them. She died protecting another clanmate, a queen and her kits. However, the queen died along with one of the kits. The only surviving kit was Eaglepaw, then known as Eaglekit. Her mate was Brownnose, but he had died before she did. She found another mate, one that she never told anyone who he was. She did have more than one kit with her second mate, however, it is unknown what happened to the others. She lives in StarClan. (Echobreeze)

To become a warrior, an apprentice has to go through a final test. The first part is hunting.

If an outside cat (loner, rogue, kitty-pet) wants to join the clan, they have to go through a three part test. The test as a whole is to see their physical ability, personality, and true motives. The leader assigns a cat to talk to the outsider, so that this cat can collect information on him/her. Once this is done, and the outside cat seems to have good enough motive, then they move on to physical ability.

From then on, there has been many leaders, deputies, warriors, apprentices, kits, elders, and queens. But here are the ones that made stories pass from generation to generation to the current one.
Mouse: He was the first leader of DauntlessClan, even though he didn't have nine lives. He lead the clan very proudly, and died in clan first battle. He was known for the life he lived so generously.
Cloverstar: she was known for the change she made on the clan. She was known to be very brave, and something she used to say still passes down through the clan: "To have courage is not to be fearless. To be brave, you have to conquer your fear."
Ivyshadow: The first medicine cat of the clan that discovered the MoonPath and MoonRock. She was ultimately known for discovering most herbs and their uses.
Spiritsong: A warrior that is known for his sacrifice when cats attacked the DauntlessClan camp. He gave up his life to hide his mate that was in a bush some distance away, with their three newborn kits.
TERRITORY
DauntlessClan territory is mostly of forest, containing a lot of pine, oak, cedar, and birch trees, with a few willow, cherry, and maple trees. Throughout the territory towards the west, is the Endless River of Death. The cats do not use this river as a drinking supply except on the stretch of the river where it's calm and shallow (northwest area). Instead, they use the lake that is north of their camp (camp is in middle of territory). To the east of the camp, is a huge field that covers up 1/4 of the territory. Right beyond that field is a moor. They do not usually use the moor, unless there is a shortage of prey in the field and forest.

List of Important Land Marks
The Endless River of Death a.k.a. The Endless River ⁻ this river is not like most. It's very deep and wide, and the current of the water is very fast. A lot of the cats who fall into this river die because of the difficulty in getting out of the river once in it. The river is very long and that is where 'Endless' comes into he name.
MoonPath and MoonRock ⁻ North of camp, past the borders, there is a rocky flat path that leads to the MoonRock. This path, was called the MoonPath because of the safe passage it made to the MoonRock. It takes one full day from camp to the MoonRock, and back to camp. The MoonRock is in the middle of a rock clearing, and it is a huge, smooth gray rock, that sits proudly in its place.
The Lake ⁻ Even though they do not have a name for the lake, it is an important part of their territory. This is their main supply of water. It is located north of camp, almost north-east.

The Camp
The camp is a cave, located underground. There is a huge rocky clearing in the middle of the forest, and underneath one of the boulders, is a hole that leads down into the ground (a tunnel). This leads to a very large cave, that has high stone ceilings, and wide open space. All of the dens are caves, connected to the main large one. The nursery and medicine cats den are the only two caves that go deeper into the ground instead of being level with the ground of the main cave. The leaders, apprentices, warriors, and elders den are all level with the main cave. In the nursery there is another entrance that leads to a tunnel that goes up into the forest by the lake. The cave wasn't the original camp when the clan was first made, but after the battle they wanted something more hidden and safer.

Lionstar
He is a pale brown, tabby tom with white paws and dark forest green eyes. He has long legs, good for running, and a small lithe body. Lionstar is a serious but friendly cat. He doesn't like to waste time, and likes to keep himself busy. Lionstar is very slow to trust strange cats, especially rogues, because of the clan's past. He likes to know what goes on in the clan, and keeps up with how every cat is doing. He likes to spend time with his clanmates, and he'd sacrifice anything for them. Although in general he is friendly and calm, in a second he can turn stubborn and harsh. (Echobreeze)

Sunleaf
Bright orange she cat with dark orange stripes, with white underbelly, paws, tail tip and muzzle, with bright green eyes. She's not a very large cat, rather small. She's very quiet, but very generous and loves to help. Fiercely loyal to her clan-mates and enjoys spending time with them. (Sunleaf.)

Reddapple
Long-Haired white tom with dark orange dapples on his pelt. The orange dapples appear to be red in certain lights. He has dark blue eyes. He is medium size and build, and has good strength but isn't able to run as fast. Reddapple is an energetic tom with a humorous kind of mind. He believes it is a cats choice how they feel, and that a cat can choose to be happy. One thing he does not like is the rain, because of how it soaks into his long fur. The only family he has is his half-brother, Lionstar. (Echobreeze)
Nightheart
dark black she-cat with striking green eyes. She's smaller but muscular. She's not very good at hunting but at fighting she seems like an expert. Kind, and confident. She is sometimes insensitive to other cats and has a short-temper. She was a former rogue. (TheBlueDJ)
.........................................
Flowerleaf
Light brown she-cat with beautiful blue eyes. Flowerleaf is shy and compassionate, and her soft eyes often help settle Clanmates down. She is sometimes a bit reckless, however, and her pride is hurt easily. (Shiningbreeze)
.........................................
Dapplefur
Medium furred, brown, orange, and white calico, most of her left side is covered in the brown and orange patches and fades backing into the right side, and amber eyes. Dapplefur has trust problems, and at first she's super sarcastic, but she slowly starts to open up to a more bubbly excited tone, either that or a stern personality, she likes to play with other cats minds.

Eaglepaw
Eaglepaw is a white she-cat with big gray patches on her fur, and pale blue eyes. She is an average sized cat, and her smaller appearence makes cats surprised by how strong she is. She is a good tree climber, and skillful swimmer. Her fighting skills are okay, but her hunting skills could use a lot of work. Eaglepaw is a very energetic apprentice, and she likes to make conversation. A lot of times she will talk gossip, and won't think about her actions. Most of the time she means well, but she can get quite jealous and frustrated often. (Echobreeze)
Hawkpaw
A tabby tom with dark brown stripes that starts from his neck and ends at his tail. His nuzzle is milky white and goes all the way to his bottom of his tail. His tail is very fluffy and when embarrassed it fluffs up even more. Hawkpaw's eyes are hazel colored. His paws are jet black along with his ears and tail-tip is black also. He has nicks in both of his ears. A snappy, rude, shy, and grumpy tom. He doesn't like annoying cats that come and bother him. Though, whoever he likes, Hawkpaw is crazy and becomes annoying trying to get close to that special she-cat. Hawkpaw loves battle training rather than hunting. Hawkpaw hates it when other cats boss him around, but if that was the leader or deputy bossing him, he would do it. Hawkpaw is snarky when the heat comes making him tired more easily. (JayFeather23)
.........................................
Stormpaw
Stormpaw is a gray tabby tom with a medium-length pelt. He has blue eyes. Stormpaw can be outgoing on most days, but he can often be stubborn and defensive. He enjoys socializing - and will often hunt or run his worries off. He is eager to learn - especially battle moves. Stormpaw can seem a bit reckless and overconfident at times. (=-Stormwing-=)

Sapphirewish
Sapphirewish is a dark gray and tan tabby tortoiseshell she-cat with pale blue eyes. She has long, sleek fur and a lithe body. She is quiet and observant cat, who likes to think things through before she takes action. She is very kind, and would do anything for her clan. She loves her kits, and would do anything to protect them. She died protecting another clanmate, a queen and her kits. However, the queen died along with one of the kits. The only surviving kit was Eaglepaw, then known as Eaglekit. Her mate was Brownnose, but he had died before she did. She found another mate, one that she never told anyone who he was. She did have more than one kit with her second mate, however, it is unknown what happened to the others. She lives in StarClan. (Echobreeze)
