DawnClan
The wind buffets your body as you tread across the moors, pushing through tall grass that lies back against the onslaught. You’re hopelessly lost, cold, and your eyes sting from the constant assault of the wind.
It feels like it’s been days since you’ve last eaten and, just when you think you’re going to starve out here, you spot a rabbit. Thanking your lucky stars, you crouch down and begin to quickly stalk towards it.
Just as you’re coming up to the rabbit, you feel something heavily barrel you over and pin you down. Looking up, you meet the eyes of a huge cat who has his paws pressing hard against you. He glares down at you, hissing something about you being a trespasser.
“Hawkclaw, let the cat up so they can speak for themselves,” a soft voice commands. The big cat looks over his shoulder but gets off of you anyway. You scramble up, making eye contact with a much smaller tabby she-cat. She gives you a curious look, tilting her head.
“You must be a long way from home, stranger. Normally, I’d allow my warrior here to chase you off. But… I will take pity on you.” She nods towards the horizon. “Come with us. We will take you back to our camp and we can discuss this further. My name is Hazelstar. Welcome to Dawnclan.” Welcome to Dawnclan! This clan acts as one amongst four total fan clans that myself and a friend created many years ago. We were once active on the old forums, but time and other things led to our decline. Now, I plan to start again and see these clans become active once more!
History
Long ago, long before any living cat within these territories was born, four great groups came together within the same land. Each group had never met each other, nor did they wish to mingle and become one. They were each their own separate entity and if they mixed, they would lose what made them who they were.
The cats that followed mighty Ice were made for the mountains. Their large bodies, thick pelts, and large paws were perfect for the cold and the brutal mountain ranges, though their home was made half in a valley that was protected on one side by mountains, and on the others by a pine forest, greyer field mix and a high plainsland. Still, his chosen territory was at the highest altitude and it was theirs.
Those who followed sly Fire were suited for the land beside Ice’s, for the pine forest and the geyser field. They were lean, but not small and lithe, made for climbing trees and darting through sparse undergrowth. They were a shadowed lot, in pelt color and in heart.
The cats who kept to the ever aloof Dusk favored the lowest of the territories, a marshy land where the trees blocked out almost all the sunlight. They grew to have webbed paws and larger eyes, perfect for seeing in low light. Their hearts were mysterious and guarded, as were their minds. They did not often welcome in outsiders.
Lastly, though who followed the proud Dawn took up residence in the plainsland. They were lithe and agile, darting through the tall grass and running down any prey they could. They stayed lean and wild looking because of this, though the were just a proud and honorable lot. Words were favored amongst them over claws and brute strength. It’s no wonder they were so respected.
And thus, each leader was visited by a starry cat, who guided them one by one to a polished crystal nestled within a glade, surrounded by water that caught the starlight. Each one was granted nine lives, -star added to their names, and instructions on how to organize their groups into what would be known as clans. They returned to their friends and loved ones as Icestar, Firestar, Duskstar, and Dawnstar, leaders of Iceclan, Fireclan, Duskclan, and Dawnclan, respectively.
Though time and trials have beaten against each clan, they have weathered each and every one, remaining strong and alive. They are here today, in this land created by Starclan for them, perfect for every group and yet just muddled at the borders to give rise to some problems...
Territory
Dawnclan territory is located on a slightly elevated moorland, lower than Iceclan territory but higher than Duskclan. It is border by these two clans. It is dotted with rolling hills and rocky outcroppings, as well as sparse trees. The ground is covered with tall grasses and heather patches.
The camp is settled within a small gorge, sheltered on three sides by high walls. Each den is dug into the sides of the gorge.
The leader’s den is a small sandy cave that is barely covered on the outside by a huge boulder. The leader uses this for meetings.
The medicine cat’s den is a winding cave that has a small stream feeding into it.
The nursery is shelter by a large bush that extends to hide the elder’s den.
The apprentice’s den is at ground level, while the warrior’s den sits above it.
There is a tree on the territory that is massive and is often avoided for being a favored spot for hawks and eagles.
Apprentices are trained in the shadow of a massive hill.
Common prey that is caught are rabbits, hares, field mice, voles, crows, and sparrows.
Common predators are hawks, eagles, coyotes, and badgers.

Allegiances
Leader
| Honeystar | She gets her name from her short honey-brown tabby fur with vibrant bark brown and reddish brown stripes; her eyes are a soft hazel color. She's got small, pointed ears and a splotch of black on her otherwise pink nose. Her tail is very long and thin due to her short fur, Everything about Honeystar is either average or small - although she has a longer body, and a longer tail. | She is a humble and caring leader, but is best known for her quick thinking, patience and strategy. Honeypaw lives in the moment, giving her a clear head but she is quite daring and willing to have a little fun, she isn't always serious as she was once too wild at heart. She has become more shut off in recent moons, as she doesn't want to burden anyone with her problems and has a fear of letting her clan down; which often results in her doubting herself at times. But she tries to not let her insecurities get the best of her. | ♡ Bun ♡ |
Deputy
TBD
Med. Cat
| Volepelt | 37 Moons | Volepelt is a small, sandy brown tabby tom with golden eyes. His tabby stripes are very pale and of the mackerel variety. | Volewhisker is a bit of a skittish tom. He also seems to be incredibly scatterbrained and seems to often times forget where he is. Regardless, he cares deeply for his clanmates and would do anything for them. | lupusalbum99
Med. Cat Apprentice
Open
Senior Warriors
| Hawkclaw | 52 Moons | Larger than most other Dawnclan cats, Hawkclaw is a massive dark brown tabby tom with a white blaze on his chest and black toe tips. His eyes are bright golden and he’s got a jagged scar on one shoulder. | Hawkclaw is aggressive, fierce, and highly ambitious. He’s not afraid to show the other clans what he thinks of them and would die for his clan if needed. He doesn’t seem to be able to tell the difference between defending his clan and starting unnecessary fights. | lupusalbum99
Warriors
| Gingertail | 30 Moons | Gingertail is a fluffy Turkish Van with a few orange spots on her head, one of which goes up and covers her left ear. Her tail is entirely orange. Her left eye is an icy blue while her right is a deep amber. Her fur is very fluffy and fairly well-groomed, but she occasionally gets a little dirty when she’s messing around and playing games with the kits and apprentices. A little dirt never hurt anyone! | Gingertail has always been a very bubbly cat and almost ditzy, even since birth. She was one of the most playful kits, and she always made tasks into a game as an Apprentice. She is known for trying to find the light in any situation, no matter how dark. | Frostfeather (half-sister) | Moonsong
| Sagesight | 29 Moons | Sagesight is a longhaired, mostly white she-cat with large grey spots all along her figure, which have a slight tint of sage green to them. She specifically has a small oval-shaped grey spot on the corner of her right eye, spots that cover both ears, and the entire bottom half of her tail is also grey. Her eyes are round and an earthy sage green. The left eye has a small sliver of golden-brown from her pupil to the outer edge of the iris, The sliver is in the lower left region. Her paw pads are solid pink and her nose is mostly pink as well, although there's a tiny spot on the left corner that is more grey.| Sagesight is a very calm and peaceful cat who wants nothing more than to spend her time simply appreciating nature. She can come off as distant sometimes, "ignoring" cats when she's honestly just zoned out and deep in thought. She loves to spend time alone outside of camp, feeling the breeze through her fur and taking in all the scents of the plants and wildlife around her.| Family is unknown, but rumor says she has kittypet roots. | Sagesight started off as a loner cat who went by Sage and rummaged around two-leg dens for food and shelter. She was born a loner, and expected to spend her entire life that way until she accidentally crossed into Dawnclan territory, where one of the strange cats brought her in. Soon enough, she became a member of the clan, and requested to make her original name part of her clan name. To her, keeping her name symbolizes remembering who she was before clan life and remembering what all it taught her. | Moonsong |
Apprentices
| Applepaw | 8 moons | Applepaw is a tiny tabby cat with green eyes. She has a scar on her left ear that she had gotten when she ran into a fox cub when she snuck out of camp.| she is a happy-go lucky young cat that always sees the good in others. | lemonpepper |

Extra Information
The Warrior Code
-Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle. -Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory. -Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating. -Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life. -A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice. -Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name. -A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice. -The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires, or is exiled. -After the death, retirement, promotion (to a leader status), or exile of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh of the following day. -A Gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time. -Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats. -No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. -The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code. -An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense. -A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet. -Medicine cats may take a mate only if they have an apprentice and their apprentice is fully trained. If the apprentice or the medicine cat has kits in the nursery, they are not allowed to have kits of their own until the kits are apprenticed.
Ancient Rites
Ancient Rites are ancestral rights that are gifted to each clan. Not many cats invoke them often but when they do, they cannot be contested. Apprentices are trained to understand these very early.
-Should a cat from another clan kill another cat without reason, the clan of the murdered cat may demand a cat of equal age and skill be handed over from the offending clan. -Should a clan steal prey from another clan, the victim shall be allowed to demand the food returned or they will be allowed to hunt that amount of clan from the offending clan.

( ♡ Bun ♡ I'll go ahead and start something in all the clans. See if we can't attract some people!) Secluded away in the medicine den, Volepelt was busing himself with sorting herbs and tallying the amount he had. A little, unhappy sound left him as he noticed he was short on a few things. Oh, how he wished to have an apprentice already to help him. The little tabby pushed himself to his paws, scurrying out of his den and across the clearing. Hawkclaw was sprawled out in front of the warrior's den, grooming himself lazily. He had just returned from a hunt not long ago and was intent on enjoying some peace and quiet before he went out again. He narrowed his eyes as he watched Volepelt trot through the camp, snorting a little.

It wasn't long before Gingertail returned from a successful hunt, dropping off some fresh kill in the kill pile. Each step of hers was powered by energy, giving her more of a giddy trot that added to her already eccentric aura. Her ears and tail were held high, her eyes nearly sparkling as she eventually stopped to quickly observe her surroundings. Soon enough, those eyes spotted Hawkclaw, who was sprawled out by the warrior's den. Despite it probably not being in her best interest, she approached with that same peppy trot before she stopped right in front of him. Her tail swished excitedly and almost vigorously, a smile on her face. "Hey! What are you up to right now? Got any fun plans for today?"

A low, unhappy growl left the older warrior, his golden eyes rising slowly to give Gingertail a glare. "If you couldn't tell, I'm relaxing between patrols. Something you should practice a little more often," he grumbled, the tip of his bushy tail flicking. Then, he jerked his nose towards Volepelt. "Hey, maybe you should go bother him. He might need much more help and enjoy the company far more than I do."

"Oh, relaxing? That sounds great!" The statement about bothering some other cat seemed to go in one ear and right out the other. Instead, she invited herself to stay with Hawkclaw and laid beside him. She tucked her front paws into her chest, tail still swaying almost uncontrollably. "How did your hunt go? Mine went pretty well! I caught so much stuff and managed to bring it all back in one trip!" All she had really brought was a fat mouse and two birds of which she couldn't remember the names of already. She probably forgot five other kills when backtracking to find what she buried. She was always very forgetful.

Hawkclaw inwardly cringed, knowing he had made a huge mistake. The big tom shuffled to the side, putting a little more distance between himself and the very loud ginger she-cat. "Yes, riiiight..." he mewed slowly, looking around and hoping that someone would help him. "My hunt went just fine," he then added, though he didn't seem to want to elaborate at all.

The she-cat nodded with a big smile, purring almost as loud as a thunder path monster as her tail finally rested around herself, although the tip still flicked. She didn't even seem to notice that she was bothering the poor tom. "That's awesome! I'd love to hear more. What all did you catch?" Gingertail ended up flopping over on her side, causing her to roll just a little closer to the much larger male. She didn't necessarily mean to move closer, though. "Did you see anything cool while you were out there too? Like some shiny rocks or anything?" She almost seemed to act as if only yesterday she had been an apprentice. "I have a cool collection of stuff I find on hunts, like shiny rocks! I keep it all buried by the warrior's den."

Again, Hawkclaw shuffled away from Gingertail, finally sitting up so that he wasn't lying down. So much for a relaxing after hunt groom. He tried a little harder to give her a stare that might make her get the hint, but he figured it probably wasn't going to work. "A rabbit," he said, his replies short and to the point. He didn't want her to think he was interested in talking. "I don't look for... 'cool' things. I'm a warrior, not an apprentice," he added, his voice rising into a sharper tone as he spoke.

"You can be a warrior and still have fun! Something you obviously don't do. No wonder you're always by yourself and looking grumpy! When I see you you're always alone and grumpy, anyway. That's why I decided to join you!" Gingertail rolled onto her back, exposing her stomach to the tom as she smiled at him again. The glare didn't appear to get her point across. "Finding cool stuff is just like hunting! I don't see why you wouldn't like it with how much you seem to like hunting. It's just the 'prey' doesn't move and you keep it! It's not much, but it makes me happy. Maybe you should look into collecting shiny rocks or something. Maybe you'd be happier." She reached out a paw as if pointing at him. "Hey, that frown of yours actually looks like a smile when I look at you upside down! Smiles look good on you. You should do it more often." Her statement was followed by an even bigger grin of her own that showed off her sharp teeth. Maybe if he at least showed a smile, she'd leave him be for a bit.

For a moment, Hawkclaw bristled, getting up and getting in her face with his teeth bared. "Perhaps you should start acting more like a warrior and less like a hare brained apprentice. If you get anymore feather headed, fluff will start to fall out of your ears. But maybe it would be more useful than you are right now." His words were harsh and his tail lashed back and forth before he jerked back and snorted. "You also mistake my commitment to the clan and providing for it, and lack of 'play time' unhappiness. A cat doesn't have to act like you to be happy." With that, he turned and stalked towards the camp entrance, grumbling to himself the whole way.

The glittery eyes and bright smile of Gingertail's quickly faded when the tom got in her face. Her face expressed obvious fear now, and even sadness deep in her eyes... something she had held back for moons, or maybe her entire life. Never had a day passed that she wasn't seen without a smile and big sparkly eyes full of joy. For the first time, she wasn't what everyone knew as her usual self. She was completely silent now, quickly flipping over onto her stomach once Hawkclaw backed off. She didn't even look at him now, and instead stared at the ground beneath her as her ears flattened against her head fully now, bushy tail curled around herself in a protective and comforting manner. All she could manage to mumble was a quick "Sorry" before he left, and she didn't bother to follow. She just laid there, now wondering if every cat thought the same of her and just didn't have the heart to tell her in a nicer way.

With Hawkclaw gone, Volepelt, who had been lurking near the camp entrance and keeping an eye on things, slinked his way over to Gingertail. Hesitantly, he settled down near the she-cat, tilting his head a bit to the side and offering a sympathetic look. "Hey... Are you alright, Gingertail? I heard what Hawkclaw said.."

All that was offered in return was silence as she turned her head away. She didn't want to annoy another cat with her obnoxious behavior. It was all she could really think about now. Eventually, though, a soft mumble could barely be heard from her. "Am I really that unlikable?" Her gaze fell on the medicine cat as her head turned slowly, her usual enthusiasm completely gone. "does everyone think that about me? Looking back at things now, a lot of cats act the way he did around me, just without the yelling and all.... Maybe they just didn't want to hurt my feelings. That's probably it." She flattened herself against the ground now, chin resting in the grass. It was obvious she had taken every word of Hawkclaw's to heart.

Flattening his ears a bit, Volepelt threw the camp entrance a little glare, snorting softly. "Hawkclaw's always been a difficult cat. You know that. You just got unlucky with him this time," he added, shrugging a bit and turning his attention back onto Gingertail. "Sure, you're vibrant and a little energetic at times, but no one outright dislikes you. And he doesn't count. He doesn't like anyone."

"I don't know... I just wish he liked me. I just wanted to see him smile at least once. He always looks so angry and looks like he could use some cheer to get rid of that awful frown." A sigh left Gingertail, although her ears seemed to perk just a little bit. Just enough to bring them up from being completely flat against her head. "It works on other cats usually.Why does he insist on being so grumpy all the time? What makes a cat end up like that? If I ever have an apprentice to mentor, I'll do everything to keep them from being like that, while still being a good warrior. He'll see! You don't have to be mean to be a good warrior!" If anything, she almost seemed angry now. The tip of her tail flicked as her ears flattened again, but she soon calmed again as her head rested once more. "If I ever get an apprentice, that is. I'm no better than some useless fluff."

Reaching out with one paw, Volepelt patted his friend reassuringly. "Oh, Honeystar doesn't see it that way. She'll give you an apprentice before you even know it! And you'll make a great mentor!" he added with a purr, flopping onto his side. "I have to ask, though, why are you so preoccupied with what Hawkclaw thinks? He's always been like that. He probably came out like that as a kit."

Silence filled the new-leaf air for a moment as Gingertail paused to think. "Maybe. So long as they don't end up mouse-brained like me." The poor she-cat just couldn't shake off the gloominess that hung around her like thick fog. Why did it matter what Hawkclaw thought of her? Again, her face looked puzzled as she got lost deep in thought. Quietly, as if thinking aloud, she eventually let out a soft mutter. "I... like him. Somehow." It didn't even register to her that she had spoken aloud just loud enough for Voltpelt to hear, or that she had even spoken at all for that matter. Her tone soon rose, as if meaning to be heard now. "I want to apologize to him, but I'm afraid he'll just snap at me again."

A look of slight concern mixed with understanding crossed Volepelt's face as he nodded his head slowly at her confession. He was, honestly, a little bit surprised. The brown tom was hard to get along with and didn't really inspire romance. "Well... You should go after him, then. Be honest with him and maybe he'll soften up a bit." Then, he frowned a bit. "But be careful with him. You know the rumors that float around camp, accusing him of being a kinslayer. I don't want his ambition and ruthlessness to end up hurting you in the end. After all, you're my friend."

Volepelt's words made Gingertail's head shoot up, eyes wide as she stared ahead before whipping her head around to look at him. "Did you read my mind or something? I didn't say anything about liking him!" She soon shut her mouth, realizing that, if anything, that alone gave her feelings away. "I-I mean- uh... Oh Starclan, why must I be so brainless?" She hit her head with a paw, sitting up straight now. "I can't be honest! It's not like it would ever happen, he hates me! I don't even know why I like him still after that!" She was quick to get on her paws, now pacing in front of the medicine cat. With how naturally loud she was, it was possible that Hawkclaw could have even heard her words from within the camp, and that thought soon hit the mostly white she-cat. Her tone soon lowered to more of a whisper-yell. "Oh, I'm sure it's just a rumor, like you said. Or I hope so at least. I guess we can't really know. It's not like I'm going to ask to find out. I don't think I could bring myself to even look at him now anyway!"

Rolling his eyes a bit, Volepelt just stretched his paws out in front of him and yawned. "Come on, Gingertail, it's not like you to be this nervous about something. Where's the go getter I know, huh?" he asked, sitting up and butting her shoulder with his head. About that time, Hawkclaw returned, two mice dangling by their tails from his mouth. "Now's your chance to make amends. Better hurry before he decides it's time for him to sleep."

Whiskers twitching nervously, Gingertail sat up and began to lick her paw, swiping it over her ginger ear a few times. However, the nudge on her shoulder seemed to brighten her a little, a smile finally reappearing on her face. Finally, she seemed to be calming down. "I guess you're right. I can't be all down like this forever, especially when the clan relies on me to brighten up their day, am I right?" The she-cat soon returned his previous nudge with a playful flick of her tail. However, her returning confidence faded as soon as it arrived when she spotted Hawkclaw approaching. "Oh Starclan, what should I say?" she muttered to herself, but she had to quickly straighten herself up upon his arrival. With a clearing of her throat, she forced herself to speak. "I was thinking about going off to find you, but seeing as you're here, I figure I should use this chance to apologize for my behavior." Gingertail's gaze seemed to be glued on her paws as she paused, but she managed to continue after swallowing what felt like a big lump of words in her throat. "I'm sorry I didn't get the hint, and I promise I won't do it again."
