The cold leaf bare air seeps through your fur as you stalk painfully slow through the bushes. Your mouth slightly parted as you focus on hunting your prey, ignoring the pang of hunger that stabs your own belly. So intense is your focus that you don't notice the sudden silence that covers the territory. A branch cracks. You pause- a rustle nearby.
And then a yowl pierces through the otherwise now silent forest. A brief moment of panic flashes through you, "Sagepaw!". Prey forgotten you sprint towards the yowl bursting through the thick foliage to see the young apprentice trapped beneath the paws of an Echoclan warrior. A small ring of enemy warriors fill the tiny clearing and your mouth dries. A mix of anger and fear rushes through you, "let her go" you snarl as the remainder of your hunting patrol emerges through the bushes. The Echoclan warrior grins and that is the last thing you see before battle ensues.
Fur, teeth, claws, a sharp stinging pain you fight with the fury of all your ancestors as you drive the Echoclan warriors back. At last the final warrior flees and you turn only to let out a dismayed wail at the sight before you. Sagepaw- she was dead. Had Echoclan no mercy? For moons upon countless moons they had battled your clan but now this...
"Echoclan will pay" the snarl came from Snowchase the snowy white she-cats' fur coated in blood. And with barely a glance at the young apprentices' lifeless eyes before you, you hiss your agreement. It was time to end this.

Doesn't matter how long its been
Within a matter of days the medicine cat den was filled. Cats where falling ill leaving our numbers weak and us unable to defend our home. Then our medicine cat Icethorn fell to the disease as well. Our leader, Jaggedstar, begged our neighbors for help- and they obliged sending their own medicine cat, Silverpath.
But it was too little too late for many of our clan. Jaggedstar lost three of his lives assisting Silverpath in curing the disease that plagued our clan and by the time it was done more than half our clan had passed. When at last it reached time for Silverpath to return home we sent her with an escort to return her to her clan. And that's when it all happened.
Mapleleaf, Redwing, and Honeysplash who were the escort returned to our camp baring battle scars that were far beyond a border skirmish. It was with great distress that Honeysplash informed us of Silverpaths murder. A group of Echoclan cats who disagreed with her open assistance to our clan attacked and murdered her. Jaggedstar wasted no time. With what cats we had left he lead a patrol to speak with the Echoclan leader.
But Echoclan would not have it. They attacked our patrol and warned us that any crossing of boundries would be dealt with cruelly. Jaggedstar was distraught at the loss and still held the belief that Echoclan would someday see the truth. However when one of our apprentices Mintpaw was left with life threatening wounds at the border even he knew it had gone too far. Jaggedstar responded and attacked an Echoclan patrol as a warning losing one of his few remaining lives as a result.
It did not end there oh no. Echoclan retaliated and they retaliated with a cruel uncat like brutality. Jaggedstar lost his final life battling the Echoclan leader to the death in the vein hope that our clans would be reconciled with new leadership. But seasons have passed, generations gone by and still we fight Echoclans cruelty. And we will not stop until our own can rest safe at last.
>> Territory
Whisperclan occupies a thickly forested valley. The territory is covered in close growing trees both tall and short with plenty of tangled ground cover.
Hidden Creek -- The hidden creek branches off the main creek that runs through the clans territory. Located towards the center of the territory the creek has steep edges. Thick bushes cover the edges if not hiding the entire thing from view and the ground is known to be unstable in some places. The creek itself is reasonably shallow in most places but once you fall in it can be very difficult to climb back out.
Rock Hollow -- Used as both an advanced training ground in the leaf fall and leaf bare and hunting location in green leaf and newleaf. The rocky hollow consists of tall moss covered boulders and rocks. It is one of the few clear places in the territory with the roots of the Great Tree sneaking amongst the boulders. In leafbare and leaf f all it is covered in mist and can be dangerous for the inexperienced.
The Great Tree -- The largest tree in the territory it is located at the edge of the rock hollow and is covered in moss.
Sweet Grove -- Right on the outskirts of the territory on the opposite of the territory to Echoclan lies a strange bit of forest. The trees here are not so thick and rather evenly lined. In newleaf they blossom with apples and other sweet smelling flowers and fruit. It is the training ground for our newest apprentices but is also a popular place for lovers or those seeking a little peace.
>> Camp
Leaders Den: Located at the far end of the camp in a crack where the tree roots have broken through the earth. The den is cozy if not a little on the smaller side.
Medicine Cat Den: The medicine cats occupy the opposite side of the camp to the leader where bits of ivy and moss hang from the ceiling creating a curtain and sectioning off the den. The den is reasonably roomy and the herbs are stored in little hollows.
Apprentice Den: Opposite the camp entrance the wall is indented to allow for a sleeping area. Some bushes have been moved to section of the den slightly but it is mostly open.
Nursery and Elders den: Located in the only two caves within the camps walls they rest on opposite sides of the camp from each other. The nursery has been artfully hidden by a few stones and plants hopefully making it hard to spot.
Warriors Den: A short tunnel that leads to a cavern beneath the roots of a nearby tree. Sunlight streams in from places where the dirt has started to fall through.
Camp Entrance: A windy tunnel that emerges at the roots of a small pine tree. The entrance is blocked by bushes and prickly plants.
Whisperclan cats when compared to other clans tend to be very small in size. They are well adapted to sneaking through the thick forest of their territory. While bright pelts are not unheard of they do tend to be uncommon with colours typically ranging from black and dark greys/browns to lighter silver/brown tabbies (Ginger is VERY uncommon). Fur is usually short as longer fur tends to snag on the branches of all the thick growing shrubs. Cats with light pelts often have to cover their fur in mud/dirt when on a battle or border patrol in order to avoid detection.
Whisperclan cats are at heart passionate and fierce. They speak and act with their hearts but are sometimes blinded by their own emotions and beliefs. The more fiery members of the clan can sometimes have to constantly check their control while the more independent must be careful not to exclude themselves so much that they lose touch with their clan mates.

-- Leader --
♀ -- Snowstar-- 30 Moons--
A slender, long legged snowy white she-cat with pale grey eyes. Her fur is short and often marked with dirt or mud from disguising its bright colour prior to battles and border patrols. Snowstar is a lively, fiery, and passionate she-cat who loves the small things in life. As a younger cat she was easily captivated by things such as the light through the leaves of the trees and shiny beetles crawling through the grass. Nowadays it's a rarity to see her rise to watch the sunrise she loves so much. Her faults lie with blunt, harsh, and sometimes hurtful remarks and general inability to be diplomatic or uncritical. Her littermate Skyleap died in a battle with Echoclan warriors.

-- Medicine Cat/s and Apprentice/s --
♂ -- Larkfeather -- 17 moons --
Larkfeather is a fairly lean tom, with a caring and open-minded personality. He has always prided himself on his job as medicine cat, and is determined to make his dead mentor proud. As the only current medicine cat, Larkfeather is hard working and dedicated to his work. He does have a few odd quirks, however, such as his obsession with keeping things neat and tidy. With his slightly too long to be short, creamy coloured fur, this tom does not like having to go out and collect herbs as he despises having to cover his fur in mud to stay hidden.
-- >> łeмøи тαят << --
-- Warriors --
♂ -- Jaysong-- 34 moons--
A muscular tom, broad shouldered by Whisperclan cat standards with a fluffy black pelt and amber eyes. Jaysong is a brave and generally wise warrior. He can be playful at times but is typically one of the warriors you can come to for advice. He keeps a close group of friends and amongst them lets his normally strictly regulated personality fall down. Honest but if not a bit blindly trusting of his friends he is rather easily manipulated by those close to him.
-- Meraki --
♂ -- Crowscar -- 35 moons -- WhisperClan
Crowscar is a large black tom with white back legs, a large scar crossing the right side of his face, another scar crossing his right leg, and bright blue eyes. His name comes from the serious injuries he gained as an apprentice, and he's forever haunted by the memories. Eager for revenge, he has sworn to never kill a single EchoClan warrior and instead make sure as many of them as possible are as scarred as he is.
-- ℓιѕтєиιиg --
♂ -- Swallowtail-- 45 moons --
Swallowtail is a dark blue-gray tom with white ears, paws, and tail tip. He has light blue eyes. He's very friendly and caring towards those in his clan, but absolutely brutal towards EchoClan. He's killed one of their warriors before, isn't afraid to say so, and is willing to do it again.
-- ℓιѕтєиιиg --
♀ -- Lilywhisker-- 26 moons--
A tiny silvery coloured tabby with delicate white paws and pretty green eyes. Lilywhisker is soft spoken she-cat who though seems to be friends with every cat isn't very well known. At times she can come across as nervous and timid and personally seems to find her clanmates constant company exhausting. Those who knew Lilywhisker as an apprentice knew her to be a determined cat who showed great potential. However after a skirmish with an Echoclan patrol withdrew into herself.
-- Meraki --
♀ -- Featherleap -- 19 moons --
With a small build, name is a little shorter than the average Whisperclan cat, so compared to an Echoclanner she must look tiny. But she is quite athletic and fast, so she makes up some for her lack of strength. Her fur is short and completely black with the only white markings on the toes of both her front paws. She has amber eyes and a case of heterochromia makes the left eye lighter than the right.
-- bex --
♀ -- Minkfang -- 30 moons --
Minkfang is a very dark brown she-cat with a white dash on her chest and bright green eyes. She's rather serious and doesn't care much for having fun, though she's not completely incapable of it as long as you get on her good side.
-- ℓιѕтєиιиg --
♂ -- Cloudrunner-- 16 moons --
Cloudrunner is a lean pale grey tom with faintly marked black paws and ears. His eyes are his namesake being a bright sky blue. Cloudrunner is a confident, sarcastic tom who is well known for his skills in battle. A bit of a sweet talker when it comes to the she-cats he is prone to arrogance and likes to banter. He is easily injured by failure and is really very hard working (though he wouldn't let anyone know it). Littermate is Sweetmask.
-- Meraki --
♀ -- Clovertail -- 26 moons --
Lithe brown she-cat with bright green eyes. Her ears and tail tip are a darker brown, and she has a white splash on her chest. Her fur is unusually long for a WhisperClan cat, and many suspect her of being half-Clan. Because of this, Clovertail is soft-spoken and very reserved. She is also incredibly loyal, however, as well as obedient. She would likely jump off a cliff if Snowstar ordered her to. Although she is merely average at both hunting and fighting, she constantly feels as if she has to prove herself to everyone so is the first to volunteer for any risky patrols or situations. Clovertail is very self-conscious, particularly of her fur length, and is usually suspicious when anyone is kind to her. Despite feeling like an outsider, she would do anything for her Clan and will say so to anyone who suggests otherwise.
-- Dewstripe --
-- Apprentices --
♀ -- Littlepaw-- 10 moons--
Littlepaw, as her name suggests, is on the little side but not quite as short as Lilywhisker. A light brown tabby with light green eyes and long whiskers. A kind, light hearted she-cat who doesn't mind doing a little teasing and flirting every now and then. She enjoys bantering amongst her denmates but is really rather ambitious. She dreams of becoming a great leader and the one who will lead Whisperclan to peace. Littlepaw is in the habit of taking things to heart and sometimes even the jokingly meant comments said at the wrong time by the wrong cat will injure her. A little snappy when tired or angry her words tend to be sharper than her claws. Warrior name will be Littleripple
-- Meraki --
♀-- Sunpaw -- 10 moons --
Sunpaw is a pretty tortoiseshell she-cat. Her paws are orange-ginger, and faintly flecked with white to appear as if her paws are outlines with it. White fur also trails up to her belly; the rest of her body is a mixture of a sandy brown and more oak-ish brown. Sunpaw eyes are an icy blue, and if you look close enough there is a rippling pattern around the pupil. Sunpaw is a active dreamer, and not much of an active anything else. A dizzy, dreamy Sunpaw. She will think she is doing something when she really isn't. Loyal to the end, Sunpaw will prowl and protect to the best of her abilities, and attention span... that is, if she could make a friend. Because of her light and almost flighty nature, she is restless and as such it's difficult to socialize.
-- shadystorm --
♂ -- Nightpaw-- 8 moons--
Nightpaw is brave, daring, and intelligent. He holds himself responsible for his littermates and often comes down hard upon himself for both his and their failures. Though often with the best intentions Nightpaw can sometimes become a bit overbearing trying to provide advice and pointers when it really isn't welcome. He is known for his great tracking skills. He is a rather emotional cat in the sense that he lives by his heart not his brain. A lean tom with black fur and white streaks. Littermates are open to claim. Warrior name will be Nightwhisper
-- Meraki --
♂ -- Dustpaw -- 11 moons --
He has the figure of an average Whisperclan cat, small and slenderly built. His fur is thick and soft, shirt like most of his clanmates'. It's dark gray with darker tabby markings and darker socks on his four paws. He is a spotted tabby, with spots mixed in with his stripes. His eyes are yellow and he has a little dash of white across his cheek.
-- bex --
♂ -- Echopaw -- 7 moons --
Echopaw is a lively, short-furred dark brown tom. With a firey nature, this young one does not have any attachment what-so-ever to his name. Although he can understand why his father may have given him the name of the clan they are fighting, doesn't mean he has to like it. Unafraid for the most part, this apprentice is dedicated to his clan and is incredibly loyal. That being said, he isn't afraid to speak his mind, and could be said to not have a filter.

-- Queens and Kits --
♀ -- Sweetmask-- 16 Moons--
Sweetmask is a svelte grey and black dappled she-cat with silky long fur and wide hazel eyes. A brutal, poorly healed scar run from her left ear across her left eye and over her muzzle ending beside the right corner of her lip. Her left eye is clouded and she is blind in it. Sweetmask is a cat of little patience and performs her duties out of honor to her clan and deceased mentors memory. She is sassy and sharp tongued if not a little on the merciless side. She is currently supervising the nursery in place of the existing kits deceased parents most notably her previous mentor Rippletail who died avenging Sweetmasks' terrible wound. Littermate is Cloudrunner
-- Meraki --
♀ -- Shadowkit -- 5 moons --
A skinny long legged dark chocolate brown she-cat with matching brown eyes. A proud and confident little kit filled with a fierceness. She cannot wait to become an apprentice and play her part in the two clan war. A bit of a troublemaker so long as you don't insult her you'll get along fine. Prone to tantrums when she cannot succeed this kit has a lot of growing. One thing is for sure though her resilience and natural air of authority will get her far. Littermates are Sootkit and Smokekit.
-- Meraki --
♂ -- Sootkit-- 5 moons --
Sootkit is a brown short furred tom with a slightly darker brown mask with an unusual grey patch on his chest. Sootkit is a sweet tempered tom who really does try his best at everything he does. Unfortunately he is incredibly clumsy and really does require things to be explain very frankly and logically to him. A complete loss when it comes to understanding emotions. A bit self conscious and self doubting as a result of his apparent slowness he actually shows great potential as a tactical planner. Littermates are Shadowkit and Smokekit.
-- Meraki --
♂ -- Smokekit-- 5 moons --
Smokekit is a skinny, sickly little tom who is tiny even when compared to Lilywhisker. This dark brown tom is full of dreams and wonder. There isn't anything he wouldn't give to be well enough to help his clan however at this rate it is unlikely he will ever make it to apprentice age. Smokekit has the heart of a warrior and maybe its from all his time in the medicine cat den but he is rather wise for his age. Littermates are Shadowkit and Sootkit.
-- Meraki --
♀ -- Leafkit -- 5 --
A calico kitten with a sweet-temperament who can make fast friends with almost anyone. She likes to think big and dream a lot, often finding herself wandering about with no real purpose. She has a taste for adventure, but will always return back to the place she considers home. Always willing to lend a paw to help out, Leafkit loves being involved in anything and everything. Naturally optimistic she loves the simple things in life.

♂ -- Skyleap-- N/A --

-- Open --
♀ -- Sagepaw-- N/A --
Sagepaw is a sleek pale brown she-cat with a creamy coloured chest and paws. She died in a brutal ambush attack by Echoclan warriors. Known to have been a bright and lively she-cat she had only just started her apprenticeship when she died.

Kits: 0-6 moons
Exceptions are made if the kit has an illness or injury that prevents them from becoming an apprentice; the kit is deemed to weak to train at 6 moons; the clan decides to train the kit younger (this is against the warrior code).
Apprentices: 6-13 moons

Exceptions are made if a cat is too injured and must retire early. If an apprentice is unable to become a warrior/night guard until later for a certain reason.
Mentors: 20moons

Queens: 19-180+ moons

The older a cat the less likely she will queen a surviving litter, and sometimes will produce disfigured, ill or weak kits. She-cats can queen from the age of 10 moons but it is discouraged among the clan as these cats are still apprentices. Kitting at a too young of an age can result in death for queen and kits. Litters are typically between 2-4 kits, with the occasional 1 kit litter. She-cats can kit up to 10 kits but usually a majority or none of the kits will survive until 6 moons of age. Queens will rarely find themselves expecting another litter until their first litter has left the nursery however can expect whilst her kits are 3+ moons old.
