the fandom has always been pretty good at expanding the lore and culture of the clans to meaningfully differentiate between each of them. what are some of your favorite headcanons regarding this, or things you wish were canon? for me its…
windclan - i like the idea of windclan being the only cats fast enough to chase rabbits, to the point where when cats from other clans catch them on accident (either because the rabbit was injured, sick, or just ran into them) theyll leave the prey there because theyre worried theyll be accused of being half windclan.
shadowclan - the idea of a clan thats more mysterious and sinister than the others is a really good one. shadowclan plays loose with the warrior code, and i really like the idea that theyre actually far more accepting of rogues. they dont care who you are as long as you pull your weight. that being said, while they respect disabilities that are caused later in life through service to the clan, theyre more scornful of cats born disabled, and have a very “survival of the fittest” attitude (which actually seems to be canon, given the incredibly nasty stuff oakfur said to jaypaw)
riverclan - i like the headcanon that riverclan is obsessed with aesthetic beauty. they value it highly, and its a contributing factor to why rainflower was so disdainful of crookedkit, and why hailstar agreed to change his name in the first place.
thunderclan - theyre the only clan who can effectively stalk in the forest. shadowclan used to have marshes, windclan had the moor, and riverclan had their river. skyclans slice of territory was low on undergrowth and was mostly just trees. cats raised in thunderclan are the only cats in the forest territories who could move completely silently through the undergrowth.
skyclan - birds are almost their entire diet, including the eggs. skyclan also learned to keep track of nests in their old territory so they didnt overhunt birds or take too many egg

riverclan cats collecting pretty things ilke rocks, shells, and feathers has always been my favorite one.
and idk if riverclan cats valuing beauty is why rainflower changed her sons name, because if i remember, lots of cats actually didnt like that she did that, mainly shellheart, the father.

I love these headcanons, I wish the clans still had differences, but now everyone can catch rabbits, and ShadowClan is just ThunderClan 2.0, I haven't heard ShadowClan being mentioned as stinky in ageeesss.
I have some headcanons regarding body types.
1. I see WindClan as being the smallest cats, but with long legs, but they're not drastically taller than a lot of the other clans.
2. I see SkyClan being the second smallest with long hindlegs, they've been mentioned as small before, and they'd have to be pretty light-weight to be able to climb up high in the trees, plus The Tribe is known to have the smallest cats, and the founder of SkyClan was from The Tribe, the same can be said with WindClan kind of, since Gray Wing was also from The Tribe and he lived in WindClan and had kits there and stuff.
3. I see ShadowClan as being the third smallest with large eyes to be able to see in the dark better with.
4. RiverClan and ThunderClan are about the same in terms of size, but I see RiverClan as being shorter, but heftier than ThunderClan, and ThunderClan being slightly taller and more broad than RiverClan.
