♂ - - { Duskbloom } -- { Warrior } - -

Duskbloom is a dark black tom with faint bluish-gray tabby markings across his back and legs. His eyes are a deep vibrant blue that often appears as a washed out gray when exposed to sunlight. Smaller than most other cats, Duskbloom was largely ignored by his parents as a kit in favor of his littermate Sunfur, leading to a single-minded devotion to Aetherclan and him desperately trying to make a place for himself such that the clan wouldn’t reject him as his parents did. Despite their childhood, he’s formed a strong bond with his sister, viewing himself as helping take care of his inflexible littermate. He is intelligent, loyal, and abundantly friendly serving his clan as best as he can through rapport and teamwork with his clanmates. Secretly, Duskbloom is terrified that he’ll be cast out by his clanmates for his weakness and has regular difficulty relaxing and sleeping. In times of stress, danger, or the slightest hint another clanmates is thinking of him unfavorably he starts to have great difficulty maintaining his usual confidence, scared that a single misstep could lead to serious consequences for the clan and subsequently his exile, and in such times of crisis he often sinks into the meek disposition he had as a kit.

♀ - - { Sunfur } -- { Warrior } - -

Sunfur is a massive, muscular she-cat with a bushy bright white double coat speckled with light orange-gold patches that seem to melt into the base of her fur. She has dark copper eyes adorned by flecks of harsh yellow, broad set shoulders, and wide, heavy paws to accompany her already imposing frame. While her strength and deceptive speed in battle make her a formidable warrior, Sunfur rarely thinks things through and is only ever focused on her next chance for a fight. Reckless and singularly focused on the thrill of battle, she’s often willing to sustain heavy wounds for the sake of overall victory, once even leading to an injury that seemingly permanently damaged her sense of smell. Though boastful and arrogant, Sunfur’s demeanor is relentlessly positive and she’s able to see defeats in battle as an opportunity to better her own skills and look forward to the chance she may one day have of a rematch. Her many shortcomings have led to the perception that she has to be taken care of by her more responsible brother Duskbloom, and though she’s well aware of these failings it’s still rare that she thinks to follow orders from any cat other than him, reliably turning to violence as a solution to any problem. While childish and single-minded, Sunfur is easily able to see Duskbloom's chronic insecurities and anxiety and is well aware that in times of trouble often the only place he feels he can turn to and feel needed is that of her caretaker. The truth is, Sunfur holds little respect for Aetherclan and the warrior code, only ever caring about the exhilaration of battle, and would relish the chance to challenge many of her stronger clanmates to a real fight. She stays, though, for the sake of her brother because she knows the clan and its rules help give him purpose, a lack of which she still feels responsible for after overshadowing him as a kit. While many might compare their relationship to that of a parent and a child, it’s few that recognize which is truly which. Sunfur is gay.

♀ - - { Nettleshade } -- { Warrior } - -

Nettleshade is a primarily black she-cat with three brown paws and faint dark brown splotches scattered unevenly across her short fur. She is quite a bit smaller than the average she-cat and has large, deep green eyes. She’s quite friendly and social, getting to know any other cat she meets as best as she can, though she hardly ever speaks about herself. While only semi-competent as a hunter and a worthless fighter, Nettleshade prides herself on her intelligence, believing in the role that proper strategy and planning can play in a battle far more than technical skill for combat. Further down, though, she is deeply envious of the size, skill, and technique possessed by many of her clanmates and resents her own physical weakness. Despite these negative feelings, Nettleshade desires only to serve her clan as best as she, personally, is able to, spending her time memorizing Aetherclan’s territory down to the smallest detail and learning about her clanmates in hopes that, if nothing else, her intelligence and information can serve the clan where her body can’t.

♀ - - { Oakstride } -- { Senior Warrior } - -

Oakstride is a lean grayish brown she-cat with darker brown tabby stripes running all across her sleek fur. She has light green eyes and long, powerful legs befitting her name. Extremely fast and agile, Oakstrider is an excellent fighter and proud of it to the point of arrogance. Utterly loyal, she would follow her leader and the warrior code to her death without question, though this does lead her to be somewhat inflexible and stubborn, unwilling to act outside the bounds of previous instructions set out for her. She cares greatly for her clanmates but struggles to show her affection outside of ensuring the clan’s physical wellbeing. Oakstride has difficulty seeing value in anything other than tangibles like food or shelter, naming communication not in regards to clan activities pointless, and is quite harsh on those that can’t properly contribute during hunting and border patrols, quick to label a cat a waste of the clan’s resources. This is doubly so for her kits, both of whom she sees as disappointments in their own ways even after she tried to raise them to uphold her values and one day become Aetherclan's leader where she never could. Mother to Duskbloom and Sunfur.

♂ - - { Mooseberry } -- { Elder } - -

Mooseberry is a large, long furred tom with an even mix of white, black, and ginger patches strewn all across his body. He has a long bushy tail, soft amber eyes, and a thick mostly dark ginger mane. In his youth Mooseberry was a fearless warrior, headstrong, loyal, and wishing only for the clan to be protected and its traditions upheld. He even sought to groom one of his kits specifically to become leader, a cat he could trust to defend the clan after he was gone. But over time and hardship, watching cats give up their lives and futures again and again he came to question the clan and the warrior code that he’d revered his whole life. Especially after realizing how his zeal affected his kits Duskbloom and Sunfur he began to care far more for the individual cats than the community, wanting to see those he loves lead safe and happy lives instead of sacrificing themselves for the sake of tradition. Now gentle and kind, Mooseberry cares deeply for every cat he comes across, clanmate or not, and is always willing to listen and help those that ask something of him, no matter how small. He greatly resents the structure of the clan and how it almost encourages sacrifice for its sake and is more than willing to say as much, often putting him at odds with some of Aetherclan’s more dedicated cats. Mooseberry is bisexual. Father to Duskbloom and Sunfur.

♀ - - { Wrenpaw } -- { Apprentice } - -

Wrenpaw is a short furred faded cream and light grey she-cat with a white belly and white hind paws. While fairly quick, she’s very small and rather weak. Though social and friendly as a kit, she started to become quite bitter after she mostly stopped growing shortly before becoming an apprentice. She’s now angry, short-tempered, tactless, and consistently rude. Never willing to accept help, she’s only able to view aid of any kind as an act of pity. Wrenpaw is quick to point out faults in other cats in order to make herself feel better about her own shortcomings, but her feelings are really built out of an admiration for the unique skills of every one of her clanmates and the insecurities that they exacerbate. She’s terrified that she’ll be useless to the clan forever, never getting any bigger or stronger and not remotely possessing the will to become a medicine cat. Wrenpaw is very slow to trust others and unwilling to ask for help, not wanting to have other cats look down on her, and tries to train herself to hunt and fight whenever she has spare time. Wrenpaw is bisexual but doesn’t know it, largely in denial about having any semblance of positive feelings towards other cats.
