SησωƇƖαηWelcome to SnowClan, the Clan that lives in the snowy mountains. Come and join us! We don't bite.
ǀηтяσɗυcтιση
Your paws begin to ache as you keep running through the snow. You had just climbed up a mountain in desperation to get away from an arctic fox- a creature you knew could rid you to shreds. You were fairly weak- not having eaten for what seemed like moons. Thankfully, the fox seems like no threat to you anymore as you believe it's still at the bottom of the mountain. Thinking you'd be safe, you fall into a deep, peaceful slumber.
Awakening, you see that you are safe, however, something catches your eye. A white she-cat approaches you, curiosity in her eyes.
"Who are you?" she asks.
"Nothing that you need to know."
"Oh... Well, I'm Blossompaw. Why are you so scrawny?"
You glance at your body, then at the she-cat's. She's smaller than you but she seems well fed.
"Where do you get your food from?" You demand.
"Food? Oh, I get that from SnowClan- my Clan." Blossompaw seems proud when she says the word.
SnowClan? How odd.
"Why don't you join us?"
"W-will my hunger be satisfied?"
The she-cat nods. "Of course."
"I- I ,"
"Well?"
How do you answer her?

Leader
Lilystar~She-cat~Leader~A light gray she-cat with white flecks and green eyes~Lilystar is- or used to be- very quiet. She never really speaks aloud unless it is something that concerns and has to do with the Clan. At first glance, she seems like a very hostile and arrogant cat, but after getting to know her, you'll realize that you mistook her for something she's not.~No relationships. Mother: Rainwillow (deceased) Father: Sootclaw (deceased)~She was born outside of the Clan- as a loner. But, after seeing that their family could have shelter, her parents brought her to SnowClan.~Skye
Deputy
T.B.D
Medicine Cat
Brindlefern~She-cat~Medicine Cat~A brown tabby she-cat with green eyes~Brindlefern is a sweet she-cat, but she is very impatient and stubborn- two things that medicine cats should not be. She gets very easily distracted, however whenever she really puts her mind to something, she can achieve it.~None~Brindlekit was originally Brindle- a young cat lost in the snow. She had been abandoned by her mother, left to fend for herself. Eventually, SnowClan found her. She was overjoyed when she was chosen to be the medicine cat apprentice as she had always taken a particular interest in herbs.~Rose
Medicine Cat Apprentice
Warriors
Stormblaze~Tom~A dark gray tom with blue eyes~Stormblaze is a very tough cat- one that apprentices don't enjoy spending time with. His hunting isn't the best, however, he is very skilled in battle. His loyalty never wavers, and whoever questions it is done for.~No relationships. Mother: Frostshade (deceased) Father: Whitepelt (deceased) Half-sister: Blossompaw~Not long after he was born, his father was slain in battle. Times were hard for Stormblaze, especially when he didn't have a father-figure to look up to. Then, Frostshade met him- Sunblaze. They had a kit together- Blossompaw, 'Blossomkit' at the time. He hated her with a passion for he believed she was taking all of his mother's attention. He also hated Sunblaze.~ Skye
Lynxfur~Tom~Lynxfur is a small, nimble grey spotted tom with tufty ears and amber eyes.~He is quick-witted and smart, however doesn't think his choices through.~Salt
Blizzardstep ~ Tom ~ Warrior ~ Blizzardstep is a fog gray tom with lighter mackerel tabby markings and white paws and muzzle. His fur is thicker than most other cats (besides his clan mates of course), since he lives in such a cold climate. It's almost like his winter coat never fully sheds. His eyes are a pale green/yellow color, and has scars on his legs, and one large scar on his back from an arctic fox. ~ He is a rather quiet cat, and he is easily amused. He has survived and has lived for 34 moons, and has seen many lives lost to the harsh elements that are the clan's home. He tends to avoid conflict as much as possible and lets cats stomp all over him. He is not good with words and can slip up or say something he didn't mean and cause offense, and can be rather cowardly. ~ No relationships, Pinetail is his daughter. He lost his mate and Pinetail's two siblings that didn't make it through kithood to greencough. ~ His mate had a litter of three kits, one of which was Pinetail. The litter had been born right before winter had struck, and with winter brought the dreaded whitecough and greencough. Soon Blizzardstep's mate and kits were infected, and all but Pinetail, the strongest and biggest of the litter, succumbed to the sickness. However, Pinetail wasn't left unaffected, and was weakened much by the illness, but Blizzardstep thanks Glacies and Nix that she survived, and is very protective of her. ~ Spottedleaf125
Pinetail ~ She-cat ~ Warrior ~ Pinetail is a dark brown tabby she-cat with amber eyes. She is rather scrawny, despite being the largest and most healthy kit in her litter once upon a time. She was weakened by greencough when she was just a kit, and barely survived. She is stronger now, but she is still scrawny. ~ While her body may be more weak, her spirit and personality is not. A bold and rather feisty she-cat, she is not afraid to fight anyone, or anything, at anytime. Her father, Blizzardstep, annoys her greatly, even though she knows he's just trying to protect her after he has lost so much. She can be snappy, but is very faithful to her clan and clanmates, and she likes to do things on her own without help, tired of being seen as the weak link, but at the same time she can be putting herself in danger. She is 14 moons old. ~ No relationships, father is Blizzardstep, her mother and two littermates were lost to greencough. ~ Spottedleaf125
Rainwhisper~ Female~ Warrior~A long-legged blueish grey she cat with striking green eyes and white paws.~Rainwhisper is a quiet she cat with a sharp tongue and a humorous disposition. While she may seem a bit rude, once you get to know her, Rainwhisper is just a big softie with a lot of insecurities.~ Swiftfoot- brother~ Other- None~ Tomato
Swiftfoot~Male~ Warrior~Swiftfoot is a mottled black, grey, and white tom with blue eyes.~ He is much more energetic and open than his sister, and he loves being around other cats. Swiftfoot is very social, and he is popular around the Clan for being a 'prankster'.~ Rainwhiper- Sister~ Other- He is half-blind in his right eye~Tomato
Apprentices
Blossompaw~She-cat~A white she-cat with gray paws and green eyes~Blossompaw is a very shy and timid cat who gets distracted easily. She can annoy her mentor quickly with her lack of attention span- making it difficult to train her. But, she tries hard to become a great warrior.~No relationships. Mother: Frostshade (deceased) Father: Sunblaze (deceased) Half-brother: Stormblaze~No known history~Being his half-sister, Blossompaw often gets menacing glances from Stormblaze- causing her to shrink in fright whenever she sees him~Skye

SnowClan's territory consists of large mountains, each having a lot of snow atop of them. Their camp is high and near the peak of Frost Mountain- made there as a meaning of protection. SnowClan cats' pads have toughened because of their time climbing up and down the mountain, so it isn't a very difficult thing for cats to get up and down. However, it is very dangerous for kits and untrained apprentices to go near the edge, so they're forbidden from going anywhere without
the supervision of a warrior. At the bottom of the mountain, there is an area in which coniferous trees grow. This is where medicine cats go to pluck the leaves of the tree.
The camp is located in a hole. Once inside, there are many different passageways in which lead to different dens. The easiest den to get to is the leaders' den, in case cats have questions or things to say to them. Their nests are made mainly of feathers that they plucked from nesting birds, as well as small bits of fur from arctic hares.

Coniferous Leaves- These leaves are chewed into a pulp in which is applied to wounds.
Coniferous bark- Eaten in small portions for head-aches.
Bearberry- This plant looks sweet, but it can cause for cats' hearts to stop working. Unfortunately, this happens very slowly, forcing the cat to die a slow, painful death.
Bearberry leaves- Even if the berry itself is dangerous, the leaves are certainly not. These are given to cats in order to give them energy, and many say that it leaves them in a happy spirit. And so, they are also given to cats if they are depressed or upset about something.
Pasque flower- Its petals are chewed into a poultice to apply to scratches.
Tufted saxifrage- This plant is cherished for it is the only available and known cure to the deadly 'frostcough'. This is a disease in which cats slowly begin to die, the cold causing their organs to shut down. Unfortunately, this is a slow process, their deaths being slow.
Leaf willow- The leaves are given to elders and kits in order to help with their strength. For kits, it is often first chewed by their mother as to make it easier to swallow.
Bundled Buds- Known as 'Labrador tea' to two-legs, bundled buds are used as basic cures for small sicknesses such as a basic cough.
Arctic moss- This is placed in elders' and queens' nests in order to keep them warmer than the rest of their Clanmates. It's not in the warriors', apprentices', or leader's den because there is only one known place where it grows.
Caribou moss- A plant in which has a bitter taste and is rarely ever given. This herb is only ever used when a cat's life is to be cut short. However, this only ever happens when the cat is very ill and there is no chance of survival.

As I stated in the rules, I will be using dice. How does this work? Well, when a queen is said to be expecting, I will roll a dice. The highest number of kits she can have is four, as I don't want it to be that big of a litter. I will inform you on how many kits she gets to have. Then, I will roll a dice for their survival. These cats live in a very cold climate, so it isn't always that all the kits get to fortune of living.

SnowClan cats believe in
Glacies and Nix. They believe that they are the parents of all of them, giving them the tight bond of kin-ship. Once a cat dies, their spirit goes to serve them, and in return, they gift them with new lives in their home- a place where they will never starve.
Ƥяσρнєcιєѕ
Glacies and Nix have nothing to say.
Hιѕтσяу
Long ago, there were two cats- Glacies and Nix. The two were mates, with Nix being protective over his beloved.
They had lived in the forest peacefully, but then a fire had forced them to leave. They could still remember the heat that threatened to burn them alive.
They had went for quite the distance- eventually coming across a mountainous area covered with snow. Their pelts consisted of long fur, so they didn't get cold easily.
There, they spent multiple nights, and eventually, Glacies came to the realization that she was expecting kits. Nix was overjoyed with the news, but unfortunately, he was slain by an arctic fox that very day.
When Glacies gave birth, she named her kit 'Nixkit', after its father. She didn't want the name to be exactly the same, yet she still wanted for it to have a similar name to the brave tom.
Somehow, they began coming across cats that were nearly starved, and invited them to stay. New kits were continually being bred, and their group grew.
However, it didn't yet have a name. Being the main leader of the group, Glacies decided to call the group what surrounded them- Snow.
That night, her dreams were filled with visions of Nix. In one, he even spoke.
"Glacies, you must lead a Clan."
She looked at her mate in confusion.
"You must do it. SnowClan, it shall be called. I will grant you with nine lives to help you, but other than that, you're on your own, unfortunately."
Glacies nodded, unknowing of what this would mean. She was giving up everything for the group of cats.
Her group of cats.
