Gathering News:
This is the Gathering Page for Ivyclan and Willowclan! Please click the respective links if you are interested in joining.
Ivyclan and Willowclan both meet on the western edge of the Dead Forest, as that is a neutral territory, especially moreso on the night of the full moon. There is a large burnt sycamore there whos charred boughs make perfect speaking spots for the two leaders, which the cats refer to simply as the Burnt Sycamore. There is also a smaller tree that was once a redbud that sits to the side of the Burnt Syacmore. This tree honors the leaders of both clans who have gone before, as when a leader loses their final life, their clan comes to hang their totem in the dry branches.
Canonically, there will be many, many totems in the redbud, but the ones we know for sure (for RP purposes, if a reference is needed) include:
-Hollowstar's [Ivyclan] Spider totem.
-Fogstar's [Willowclan] totem (tba)
The Next Gathering has been announced to be on 6/1/23!

What Happened Last Gathering:
⤕ Willowclan had announced they had a prosperous Newleaf full of kits as a veiled threat to Ivyclan, who had just launched a recent series of border skirmishes.
B O R D E R I N F O R M A T I O N
Willowclan sits directly north of Ivyclan, meaning they only share one border. The border that is most often checked by Ivyclan is the Rolling Hills, which touches Willowclan's Boneyard border. They both also intersect at the Dead Forest, but as that is considered a neutral territory, each clan patrols around it rather than inside of it.
Border News:
⤕ Ivyclan patrolled their new border without incident.
⤕ Shadecreek (Ivyclan) met Silverdawn (Willowclan) while the latter was out on a Willowclan border patrol. Rather than fighting, the two seemed to have some sort of chemistry going...

Storm - Earth - Bat - 36 Moons - Silvermoon2
Dark ginger tom with a white tail and paws. Storm is a solidarity tom, he doesn't like to be around other cats much. He also doesn't like change, he has been doing things the same way for moons and has no intention of ever making any changes to his lifestyle. Storm is quite stubborn as well, and can be a perfectionist at times. But he can actually be very sweet if you somehow got the opportunity to get to know him very well.
Storm was born during a harsh leafbare as one of a litter of four, when one of his siblings died due to starvation, Ice's mother kicked him out, since she only had enough milk for two kittens and she was terrified that they would all die. Storm was 3 moons old at the time, and wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for a kind old rogue she-cat who took him in. he forged a close bond with her and was devastated when she died of sickness when he was 11 moons old. By then he was old enough to take care of himself and started exploring, his travels led him past the Ivyclan borders, where he was chased off by a patrol. But part of that patrol was the most beautiful she-cat Storm had ever seen, he longed to see her again, and luckily for him, she felt the same. The two cats started meeting up with each other more and more in secret, until one day, the she-cat told him she was expecting his kits, he was delighted at first, but then realized what that would mean for the she-cat. She begged him to join IvyClan, saying that he would love it there, but Storm liked being a rogue, he had always only relied on himself and only had to take care of himself, so he turned her down, it was one of the hardest things he had to do in his life, he loved the she-cat, but not enough to give up his solitary life for her. The she-cat was really mad, saying he'd never really cared about her and vowed to never speak to him again. Storm felt terrible, but he couldn't bring himself to give up the only life he'd ever known. The two cats haven't seen each other or spoken to each other since.

Onyx - Fire - Badger - 42 Moons - Brambletalon713
Broken Stone: Vertigo
Onyx is a streaking black cat with scruffy short fur and gleaming yellow eyes. A scar run across his muzzle left from Brambletalon and his left ear is torn from his tussle with Stonefur. Onyx is strong willed and determined when he has made up his mind on things. When it comes to leading the small band of rogues he lives with, he does believe in second chances, but that’s it. You fail him twice and he’ll make sure you’re put in place regardless of whether it’s death or exile. For the most part he’s also a very calm and relaxed cat, but once he gets going in a fight his anger and aggression begins to overtake everything else. Due to some complications from his history, he was also raised with a great disdain and disgust for clan cats finding them too privileged and respected by Starclan while him and his followers are left with their powers only to fend for themselves. For the most part when it comes to fighting, Onyx prefers to get hands on, but if he feels like there is punishment or a lesson to be shown he’ll make it known with his connection to fire.
As a kit, Onyx was raised under the impression that Starclan had forsaken the cats outside of the clans in the area. His parents went on to explain how the clan cats are stronger and feel more privileged due to their connection with Nature and Starclan. Due to this, he was raised to believe that the only way for a cat outside the clans was to prove their power through battle and stern leadership. Four moons after birth, Onyx lost his parents in a skirmish with clan cats which continued to fuel his disdain for the privileged felines and his desire for vengeance grew. Growing up fuelled by rage, Onyx proved himself as a leader by a very young age and at 16 moons old set out for a taste of Blood against Ivyclan. On their expedition they came across three clan cats. Brakenfur, Stonepaw, and Bramblepaw. As the apprentice’s father sent them off for help from their clan, Onyx took it upon himself to sprint after them while his followers took care of their warrior father. When Onyx caught up with the apprentices, he originally planned to simply leave them alone after a stern message, but instead his rage took over resulting in the death of Bramblepaw’s brother Stonepaw. Fuelled by rage and anger himself, Bramblepaw fought back and took down Onyx readying to finish him off with a large rock to the head. For the first time in his life Onyx actually felt an ounce of fear, but ran off as the earth toned apprenticed tossed the rock aside telling him to escape and never return. Ashamed by the result of the fight, Onyx killed one of his followers after returning to where the stood with Brakenfur’ s body. Licking blood from his paws he simply replied “leave them both for the buzzards” before ordering his followers to return to camp. To this day Onyx has plotted out for vengeance against the apprentice now known as Brambletalon, but is currently waiting for the perfect moment to strike for his revenge. Father – Shade (Deceased. Black tom with yellow eyes. Power of fire.) Mother – Misty (Deceased. White she-cat with glistening blue eyes. Power of water.) Brother – Boulder (Stone grey tom with amber eyes. Power of earth) Sister – Frost (Silver grey she-cat with icy blue eyes. Power of water).

Nettle - Fire - 26 Moons - Ember34
A lighter coat russian blue, looking close to silver, with darker coloring on his paw. Nettle has dark green eyes. He has short whiskers on his face. The tom has notches in his ears with a few scars from fights he has been in. He has short fur. Nettle is untrusting of others, due to being a cynic, driven in by past experiences that he had. He often challenges others' intentions when they offer help, even when in situations where he or his brother clearly need it. Nettle is very protective of Snail, wanting to be sure he knows where he is at any moment. He is willing to stand and fight even when the odds are against him. He is willing to do anything for those he cares about. Due to his cynicism he finds it difficult to connect to others.
Was born to two loners, he had two sisters in his litter. When he was old enough he left them behind, as he wanted to rely on himself. As he traveled he came across others, and he even settled down with one she cat. But one day a large group had surrounded them, the group being led by the she cat's mate. The cats had planned to kill Nettle but he had barely managed to escape. Since then he stayed away from other cats till he found himself in the area of his birth. He ran into Snail who was 4 moons at the time, in a fox hole. Not knowing the kit was his brother he helped the kit return to their home only to find the bodies of his parents, that had been killed by a fox. Since then he has cared for Snail and kept him safe. He ran into Onyx's group one rough leafbare and joined it despite his dislike of the idea, as the group at least granted him a place that could keep Snail safe. Demisexual.

Snail - Air - 10 Moons - Ember34
Snail has a dark russian blue fur, with a white tail tip and a white spot on his left eye. He has bright blue eyes. Snail is a very naïve tom and unlike his brother is far too trusting for his own good. He is quick to assume those he talks to are his friend, which usually has led into situations that Nettle has to bail him out of. He is very talkative and can even be seen talking to plants or even himself when he finds no one to listen to him drone on. Snail has a habit of getting lost, often forgetting where he was going and choosing to do something else, which then causes the tom to get even more lost. Snail means well, but due to how secluded he has been, and the limited interactions he has had outside of Nettle, he doesn't pick up on social cues all too much. Pansexual.

Thorn - Fire - Badger - 39 Moons - Pineclaw
Broken Stone: Earthquake
A large, scarred golden-brown tabby tom with green eyes. He's a fierce fighter and well-known for his strength. Sometimes he can be a little too proud and there's nothing he hates more than having to retreat. While he has no problem with killing cats in a battle he's more interested in simply instilling fear into them. Born and raised in Ivyclan, Thorn underwent a lot of training. He earned his warrior name with ease and only a few moons later he was chosen as one of two cats to accompany a fellow warrior on a quest for a powerstone. Hoping to grab that stone for himself he readily went along and on their way back he killed the other two warriors. First he had lured an elemental fox towards them and while they managed to drive it off together one died. Thornfang then quickly attacked the other warrior, the one with the powerstone, easily killing him after the fox fight. Thus succeeding in taking the powerstone he continued his way back home but the closer he got the more he feared that the truth would come out, even if he told them a fox had killed the other two warriors. Besides, even if they did believe him they'd still greatly disapprove of him taking his clanmate's powerstone. So Thornfang decided to not return at all. Soon he found he was better of that way and slowly grew to look down on his former clan. His dislike for Ivyclan grew even more when he met Onyx and his cats. He found that he agreed with them and asked to join them, vowing that he would use his strength against any clancat. He decided to drop his warrior name but decided to keep the first part to always remind him of where he had come from. Straight.

Jade - Water - 22 Moons - Pineclaw
A stocky cream-and-white she-cat with pale green eyes. Not very confident in her strength but dangerous nonetheless. She's loyal to the group and expects everybody else to do the same, so let's just say she's not too fond of "traitors". She despises the clans and wants for them to suffer. She especially has a hatred for those who have happy families and goes after such cats first in battle. Jade was the only surviving cat of her litter, the others dying only a few days after their birth. Her mother had trouble getting enough food even for her but they managed. Jade was often curious as to why she wasn't allowed to hunt everywhere and her mother's answer that they couldn't enter clan territory didn't really satisfy her. For a while she followed that rule but when her mother became sick Jade, ten moons old now, decided to hunt on clan land anyway as she needed the food. A Willowclan patrol caught her and chased her off, taking her prey from her. Jade tried again two days later on Ivyclan land and it seemed that she would be successful this time but moments after leaving their territory an Ivyclan patrol attacked her. They had scented her on their territory after she had left and decided to track her down. Just like the Willowclan cats they also took her prey from her. Both clans also increased their border patrols to keep her from their land. Soon after that her mother died and Jade never forgave the clans for preventing her from getting enough food for her. Not wanting to stay in the place where her mother had died Jade wandered the land, occasionally even entering clan territory and picking fights with some singular cats. One time she took on too much and it was only thanks to another rogue that she managed to escape. The stranger then brought her to a group of even more rogues and introduced her as someone who would be more than happy to join their cause. She was a little unsure at first but soon agreed when she met their leader Onyx and heard about how they all felt about clan cats. Lesbian.

Timber - Earth - 40 Moons - Pineclaw
A dark-brown tom with yellow eyes. Being very gullible and superstitious, he's been fooled into running away from a fight with a clancat more often than he likes to admit. However, he's also pretty strong so one shouldn't underestimate him. He doesn't feel strongly about the clans but since he's loyal to Onyx and the others he also doesn't hesitate in battle. Timber has lived alone for most of his life, his mother abandoning him and his littermates as soon as they were old enough to hunt for themselves. He and his siblings stuck together for a while but eventually went separate ways. Timber however disliked being alone and often teamed up with other rogues he met. While he also knew about the clans he never considered trying to join them, thinking they would never let an outsider in, especially since they had sometimes attacked him for crossing their borders. But more than that, the thought of Starclan scared him. He didn't want to live under the watchful eyes of a bunch of dead cats and he even feared that if he joined a clan and did something to make Starclan angry then they would curse him. One day he met some cats who were part of a bigger group and, always looking for some company, Timber begged them to let him join. He didn't share most cats' disdain for the clans but still managed to prove himself as a loyal follower. Bi.

Gale - Air - Fox - 48 Moons - Pineclaw
Broken Stone: Vision Distortion
A beautiful white she-cat with yellow eyes. A prideful and independent cat. She looks down on the cats of both clans, thinking they are weak and stupid and doesn't hesitate to show it. Unfortunately this makes her a little overconfident. She isn't good at teamwork but if she absolutely has to she can be a reliable partner. It's hard for her to trust others and she often doubts their loyalty. Most of the time she keeps that to herself though and only accuses someone if she has good reason. Gale was born and raised in Willowclan, as a kit named Cloudkit. As an apprentice she was always working hard and often looked down on the other apprentices, thinking they are too dependant on each other and their mentors. She grew to dislike life as a clancat even more after earning her warrior name, Cloudchaser. Because of her skill she was very often part of patrols and she hated it, feeling the other cats were relying too much on her and other skilled warriors. She also thought most of her clanmates were too soft, especially when there were any conflicts with Ivyclan. Cloudchaser often scoffed at all those who refused to kill another cat. One day she led a border patrol and they caught an Ivyclan apprentice accidentally stepping over the border. An Ivyclan patrol was nearby and Cloudchaser took that apprentice's mistake as an excuse to attack them. In the ensuing fight she killed one of the Ivyclan warriors and took his powerstone, much to the shock of both patrols. The Ivyclan cats fled, taking their fallen clanmate with them, and Cloudchaser led her patrol back to camp. The others in her group immediately told the leader about her pointless killing of an Ivyclan warrior and how she stole his powerstone, much to the outrage of the whole clan. She was exiled and Cloudchaser was glad to leave. On her way out she badly wounded some of her former clanmates as they tried to take her totem from her and managed to flee with it. Not long after her exile she met Onyx and despite her dislike for teamwork she joined his group because of how they viewed the clans. She had abandoned her old name as soon as she had left Willowclan territory but only upon joining Onyx did she take on a new name, Gale. Straight.

Zimbi - Fire - 3 Moons - Ember34
Zimbi is a small fluffy siamese kit, with chocolate brown markings. Zimbi has no sense of danger, and tends to get into all kinds of trouble. He is to much of a curious cat that it tends to aid in his magnet for trouble. He gets attached to others easily and tends to stick close to them. He seems to be incredibly oblivious about everything around him. He has no thoughts in his head. Zimbi was abandoned by his mother due to being the runt of the litter. Zimbi by either luck, in his opinion, or a punishment from Starclan, has clobbed onto a rogue named Gale and follows the older she cat around. Whether Zimbi is aware of the fact Gale hates him and does evil things is entirely up in the air.
