Rivuletclan Landmarks
(Note: Special thanks to Plasmaquake for the help with landmarks for Rivuletclan and the Expansion)
1.Moonmeadow- an open clearing full of moonflowers. It is where medicine cats and leaders go to commune with the Sublime Fields. As of late Rivuletclan has been making it difficult for Horizonclan to be able to come and visit.

2.Lookout Hill- a hill that resides in the territory that gives a good view of the surrounding area of the forest, often used for spotting birds of prey

3.Fractured Tree- a tall oak tree that resides in the east in the territory, during a harsh storm lightning had struck it along with neighboring trees, while the trees around it fell and collapsed about the area, this tree stands strong, despite the crack in it splitting the tree into two in various sections, it continues to grow and thrive

4.The Arena- a clearing to the northwest of the territory, it is a sandy clearing, void of any life being able to grow, due to the logging done in the area, this is where they hold their Tournament of Champions

5.Haunted Grove- a section of birch trees that resides in the territory, where cats swear they have heard voices of departed loved ones, over the moons a rumor has formed that if you see a spirit in grove you are going to die

6.Old Thunderpaths- there are various parts of the forest, though trees have grown, permanently etched into the earth are large tracks from tree eaters and monsters, the paths are in various parts of the territory, but they are most prominent in the camp and in the arena

Expansion Landmarks(Barrenclan)
1.Old Barrenclan Camp- what was once a series of caves about the rocky terrain from remnants of a twoleg mining system, has been reduced to almost nothing, now a popular place for outsiders to reside.

2.Rock Forest- a series of spires that reside on the territory close to the border with Horizonclan, the series of the rocks almost mimic a forest, a popular hunting spot for rodent type prey.

3.Tree Graveyard- in the territory, along the border that run across from Rivuletclan, a first once stood, but has long since left. There are still large pieces of petrified wood here and there in that area, along with other strange objects(fossils), and it often was popular for Barrenclan cats to gift each other them.

4.Dead River-a ravine that once feed off from the river and formed a small lake, but over the time had dried up, the dirt here is great for growing herbs.

5.Canyon-where the lake once sat, is now a small canyon, a popular spot for teaching climbing and jumping.

6.Dangerous Grounds-to the far east of the territory resides a sinkhole, the ground caved in and curves to the side. The ground crumbles away when trying to climb out, and many warriors had gotten trapped in the past. It is forbidden to go there during the wetter seasons.

Rivuletclan Traditions
1.Exile Ceremony- Since Webstar became leader, they no longer had elders. Once a cat has to retire for any reason, they are exiled, as Rivuletclan values strength and health above everything. The ceremony begins the day after the cat chooses to retire where a small feast is held, where the cat's achievements are recognized. After everyone is finished, the cat in question is stripped of their warrior name and given a new rogue styled one, before a patrol of their close friends and family escorts them off clan territory.

2.Early Warriors/Apprentices- There is times where they make exceptions to make apprentices become warriors early if the apprentice shows high talent in their abilities and if the mentor agrees. Since Webstar became leader he has started to go about making kits apprentices early.

3.Tournament of Champions- A warrior if they feel that the current deputy is not fit for the role. Can challenge that cat in a series of tournaments. If the deputy wins, they stay in their position and the losing warrior is demoted to doing apprentice duties for a moon, and even stripped of their warrior name for this moon. Of the Warrior win, the deputy steps down, and the leader holds a ceremony naming the new deputy.

4.Petals- Flowers are sacred to Rivuletclan, and are not to be picked by any means, there is only two exceptions made, 1) the ones that serve as herbs for the medicine cats, 2) for burials. As the clan will take petals and cover the deceased in them. They believe it helps their ancestors who reside in the Sublime Fields will find their soul faster.

5.Names of Strength- When kits are born, it is the senior warriors that name the kits, while the parents watch. This is done in hopes that the kits will grow into strong warriors like the ones that gave them their names. There is usually 1 warrior per kit born.

6.Kit Stealing- Since kits haven’t been possible in Rivuletclan. They have resorted to stealing from Horizonclan or from loners and rogues in the area. They have added a new rank to their warriors and apprentices, Kit Stealers and those that are training to be one are thieves. These two ranks are trained heavily in stealth.

Warriors

Ashbrook | 69 Moons | She Cat | Warrior | Demisexual
Ashbrook is a thin dark gray and white she cat with white freckles and green eyes | Ashbrook is a very hostile cat as of late, unable to truly feel that she can vocalize her distaste for how Rivuletclan has turned out into. She keeps away from most of her clanmates, and spends most of her time outside of the camp. Once one is able to get past her hostility, would find a fairly gentle and sweet she cat. She is willing to die to protect those that can’t protect themselves.
Ashbrook was born in the clan. She was littermates with Nimbusstar. She didn’t have any real aspirations, apart from just wanting to be a warrior. She was thrilled when she was finally made a warrior, though choosing to ask for her suffix to be the same as her mentor’s, Heronbrook, as she truly looked up to the older tom. She had been his last apprentice as he shortly retired after her warrior ceremony. Ashbrook was devastated when her brother passed. She greatly dislikes the way Webstar is leading the clan. She had been apart of the attack on Barrenclan, and greatly regrets following Webstar’s orders. She has since been trying to make amends for it, by aiding in Horizonclan getting herbs and getting to the Moonmeadow. | Nimbusstar, Open | Crush/Mate Open | Other | Ember34

antblaze | 57 moons | male | warrior | heterosexual
a large, long-furred ginger tom with muted green eyes | antblaze is what many would consider 'a player'. he has loved many and left a string of heartbreaks in his wake. never with one feline for long, he is a 'love 'em and leave 'em' type of cat, which has resulted in his many children. he is a very assertive individual and tends to talk loud without meaning to. antblaze tends to project his own flaws onto his children without even realizing he's doing it, which makes him come off as a huge hypocrite when criticizing someone over something that he has done himself. though he has no self-awareness of this.
antblaze was born in rivuletclan and made a name for himself as the clan heartbreak at just twenty moons old when his first litter of kits was born. he's got a complicated family tree, and he's always been a rather uninvolved father when it comes to many of his litters except for the first two. it is also not unknown that he has kits in horizonclan. | jackalleap [son] forsythiabreeze [daughter] coyoteflame [daughter] eirlyshaze [daughter] fritillarystorm [daughter] albatrosspaw [son] alligatorpaw [daughter] honeysucklepaw [daughter] wolfpaw[son] hyraxkit [son] | open, open for many ex-lovers or current ones | daydreams

Shadecoat | 51 Moons | Tom | Warrior | Demiexual
Shadecoat is a muscular chocolate tortoiseshell tom with a munchkin-like build and dark hazel eyes. | Shadecoat is a kind hearted tom, and often doesn’t try to make too many enemies, and often thrives to be a peacemaker. As of late the tom is rather paranoid, as he isn’t certain which of his clan mates he can truly trust, and what ones would rat him out for his views on the clan. He often is trying to make sure everyone is okay, especially the younger cats, and wanting to ensure kits that get brought in aren’t frightened. Shadecoat makes it known on his dislike of Webstar, and often is questioning the tom’s orders.
Born during Miststar’s leadership, the tom trained in the long since dead rank since Webstar becoming leader, of having been a Lianas. The tom often would get splinters when he was an Arbonist. So he often had to see the medicine cats, where he meet Coralpaw. Over time the two grew close, with Shadepaw jumping at any opportunity to help Coralpaw when the medicine cat apprentice needed to go get herbs. The night that Coralpaw had left to go get his full medicine cat name, Shadepaw had stayed up to be able to rush to greet the tom with his new name. Eventually Shadepaw received his warrior name of Shadecoat. Soon after he asked Coralsong to be his mate. The night Webstar returned alone from receiving his nine lives, and announcing Coralsong’s death, was the worst moment of Shadecoat’s life. The tom denying the claims Webstar made. He has never forgiven Webstar, believing that the tom had done it in cold blood. He chose to not take part in the attack on Barrenclan. He often goes out to give food and herbs to the exiled members of Rivuletclan. | Open | Coralsong | Other | Ember34

Foxstep | 36 Moons | Trans Masc | Warrior | Demisexual | Foxstep is a mostly black tortoiseshell with thin streaks of orange running through his fur. | Foxstep is cool and calculating. He is clever like his namesake, and is always looking to put himself in a position ahead. He can be a bit tricky to read at times, since he doesn’t always share what’s on his mind. | Foxstep was a loner around Barreclan before the expansion by the name Vixen. He spent time around the outskirts of Barrenclan, and when they fell he became mildly concerned about his own safety without the clan in the area. He was invited to join the clan after being spotted by a patrol through the expansion, and figured that it was better than the alternative, which was to leave further into the dangerous rocky lands. He thought that maybe there was something to gain out of Clan life. He doesn’t bother himself too much in all the details and politics, he’s just happy to have a full belly and a safe place to be. | None | Open | Other |Plasmaquake

Phoenixgaze | 33 Moons | Tom | Warrior | Pansexual
Phoenixgaze is a ginger marbled grey and white tom. His fur is medium in length, and often well groomed but as of late he has stopped caring for the upkeep. He has one hazel and one blue eye. His right ear is tattered. | Phoenixgaze is a calm tom, and while he tries sticking with reason, he tends to let his emotions get the better of him. He often makes rash decisions without truly thinking. He truly cares for those that are close to him, and often thrives to make sure they never come into harms way, willing to risk his own life if it means that they would keep living. He often as of late works hard and tries to be out of camp as much as possible. He is a friendly cat, often up for conversations with his clanmates. He hates what Rivuletclan has been turning into, but chooses to keep quiet and just keep his head down. He struggles to sleep most nights, so he often heads out on the night patrols. Phoenixgaze is gentle with younger cats, and generally longs to become a father. While he doesn’t express it, part of him has been thinking of leaving Rivuletclan.
Born in Rivuletclan, his name had been changed once, first being born as Fenneckit, but soon it was changed to Phoenixkit as his mother felt the name was more fitting for him. He had played with the other kits growing up, but his mother often wanted him to stay away from kits that were Antblaze’s, as his mother didn't approve of the way the tom acted. But that never stopped him from trying to get close with his clanmates. When he became an apprentice he ended up falling for Forythiapaw and was determined to start courting her as soon as he was able. It was the happiest day of his life when the two had become mates. He was delighted when she came to be expecting their kits, and was excited to have a fmaily with the cat he loved. He was devasted when disaster struck, and the premature birth and death of their kits occured. He threw himself into his duties and often wasn't there as a result for his mate, that it resulted in the pair breaking up. He began to work harder and had started a fight at the border, that resulted in him walking away with a tattered ear. He regrets what he had done to Forythiabreeze and is still deeply in love with her, but he stays away out of guilt, fearing she wants nothing to do with him due to what he had done after they had lost their kits. He was part of the attack on Barrenclan and greatly hates the part he had in it. | Open | Forythiabreeze(ex mate), Open to develope | Other | Ember34

Sandstrike | 25 moons | Molly | Warrior of Rivuletclan | Lesbian 

She has a pale ginger and white fur with faded tabby stripes. She has amber colored eyes and semi athletic build. | Sandstrike is best described as a proud and temperamental cat.

Silverstorm | 24 Moons | Tom | Warrior | Bisexual

A handsome silver tabby tom with yellow eyes. | Confident and always eager to improve, he's not afraid of trying new things and of making mistakes. He tries to be a respectable warrior but he can be immature and disrespectful at times, especially because he tends to speak his mind. He doesn't care much for hunting, being surprisingly clumsy at it, not helped by the fact that he also lacks the necessary patience. | Silverstorm was born and raised in Rivuletclan. He had just become a warrior when his clan launched its attack on Barrenclan and while he had doubts about it he didn't show them, fighting as hard as everyone else. Now he still wonders if they really should have gone so far and he doesn't approve of the kit stealing his clan is now undertaking.

Kit Stealers(limited) 6/25

Batear | 37 Moons | She Cat | Kit Stealer | Homosexual
Batear is a short black she-cat with a pink nose and light hazel eyes. | A she cat of many faces, she often displays whatever mood she needs to get her way, from faking being upset to being sweet. She is manipulative and often uses it to trick others, especially kits that they are working to steal. Though she does come off slightly more genuine with the young cats. She isn’t afrid to spread rumors and lies to cause some excitement for herself.
Born in the clan, during Miststar’s leadership. She trained as a warrior. The she cat was unsure when Nimbusstar took over after Miststar’s passing. Over the course, she felt that Nimbusstar was to weak to be a leader, as he rarely was wanting to cause any conflicts with the other clans, whenever issues arised. She aided in the attack on Barrenclan, and when Webstar announced the closure of the Lianas and Alpiner ranks, in favor of the Kit Stealers and the Thieves, she switched to being a Kit Stealer. She enjoys her work, and the skills that she has further gained from it. | Open | Crush/Mate Open | Other | Ember34

jackalleap | 37 moons | male | kit stealer | bisexual
a bit feminine in appearance with his slender frame, long brown fur, and large amber eyes. | jackalleap is quiet possibly the only factor that keeps his siblings even semi-close together and keeps the mothers from snapping at one another; always the voice of reason, he is there stop arguments from ensuing, not just in his own messed up family, but with his other clan mates as well. his calming aura tends to calm others around him and he is often that one friend those in need will go to. he is soothing in both his words and actions. he is very loving and his family will always come first to him, even before the clan. he is protective over those he cares for. though he is sensible, there are times when he can loose control, mostly when faced with difficult decisions that even he has a hard time with. he can become frustrated and anxious at times.
jackalleap was born in the first litter belonging to antblaze, his mother being his father's first lover and mate. about a moon before he was meant to become an apprentice, his mother found out antblaze was cheating on her with her friend egretstorm when the other female confessed to her that she was pregnant. pheasantwing didn't blame her friend for her mate's faithlessness and even helped egretstorm throughout her pregnancy. jackalpaw was quiet close to his younger siblings. and then alligatorpaw and albatrosspaw were born to antblaze's third litter. and then another litter , and another, and another. it seemed that the pregnancy containing honeysucklepaw had been the driving force to the falling out between all of the mothers, which led to the tension between all the mothers and their kittens. it seemed none of them no longer blamed antblaze for his faithlessness, but each other for falling for him.
despite the high levels of tension, jackalleap did his best to keep a semi-close relationship with all of his half-siblings, even if his mother frowned upon it. it was his best friend, asterbreeze who pushed him in the right direction of deciding to keep a relationship with all of his siblings, and he would be forever thankful for that. his friendship with asterbreeze slowly morphed into more, and after many long talks about where their relationship was headed, they decided to settle down as mates, with jackalleap promising to be nothing like his father. the two of them had been mates for many moons and were just expecting their first litter when asterbreeze was slaughtered in the battle with barrenclan. | antblaze [father] pheasantwing [mother, open] forsythiabreeze [half-sister] coyoteflame [half-sister] albatrosspaw [half-brother] alligatorpaw [half-brother] honeysucklepaw [half-sister] wolfpaw[half-brother] hyraxkit [half-brother] other siblings are more than welcome! | asterbreeze [mate, deceased] open for future development| daydreams

Ripplefur | 36 Moons | She Cat | Kit Stealer | Heterosexual

A mottled pale-gray she-cat with green eyes. | She can be very impatient with others and tends to speak her mind. As an apprentice she often got in trouble for being disrespectful and even got her warrior ceremony delayed by one moon. Even now as a warrior she's not afraid of speaking out against higher-ranking clanmates if she thinks they're being mousebrained. She doesn't only voice her negative thoughts though, Ripplefur doesn't hesitate when it comes to complimenting or encouraging others.

Ripplefur was born and raised in Rivuletclan. Even as a kit she was known for always speaking her mind and while her blunt honesty was almost amusing to the others their view of it changed when she became an apprentice, not helped by the fact that she became more disrespectful towards the older cats. She often got in trouble for it, having earned more punishments than all the other apprentices together. When her training was technically completed, as she had learned all the necessary skills to her mentor's satisfaction, she was denied her warrior name at first and had to remain an apprentice for one more moon. After finally becoming a warrior Ripplefur still spoke her mind and while she had become a bit more respectful there are still times when she insults those older than her or of higher rank. She was part of the attack on Barrenclan and while she had thrown every possible insult at Webstar for his plan she still followed his orders. Despite believing what her clan did was wrong she held nothing back during their attack, even slaughtering a few kits and an elder. She still feels guilty for it but tries to tell herself that it was necessary. When Webstar announced that Rivuletclan would have to take kits from outsiders and Horizonclan Ripplefur once again protested but after having her loyalty questioned because of it she quickly volunteered to become one of the kit stealers. She goes about her task without complaining and knows that the clan needs new kits but secretly she hopes that they can one day stop doing this. If she could be sure which of her clanmates are also against Webstar's way of doing things she'd gladly work together with them to do something about their leader. | Open | Open | Other | Pineclaw

Spidersnow | 35 moons | Tom | Kit Thief of Rivuletclan | Bisexual 

He is lanky, solid black fur with bright yellow eyes. | Spidersnow is a reserved and careful cat. He usually keeps to himself, but he does like to sneak up on others and scare them. He is a strange one though, sometimes he does it on purpose as to keep cats guessing. He is a sucker for gossip and will listen to anything a cat tells him. He gets flustered easily when it comes to compliments or flirting. 

Spidersnow was born and raised in the clan. Growing up, he wasn't the most popular and mostly kept to himself. For a time, he didn't think he needed anyone, however, his mentor helped to get him out of his shell. He has mixed feelings about Webstar but he prefers to just keep his head down and follow orders. | Open | Open | Brethren |Hawkeyes258

Birdspark | 29 Moons | Non Binary | Kit Stealer | Aroace
A svelte seal tabby point cat with a scarred face and bright golden eyes. | Birdspark is a fairly calm cat, never seemingly upset about anything, or at the very least is never vocalizing it. Despite being an outsider, they often aren’t afraid to call things out that don’t seem right. They tend to look out for others, though they don’t go out of their way if it means their life will get put in danger to help someone. They aren’t loyal to Rivuletclan, so they often are breaking the code without much fear of consequence.
Birdspark used to be a rogue named Mystic, that resided in Barrenclan territory. They had witnessed the attack done by Rivuletclan. They choose to join the clan, feeling it was safer to just join the cats, then risk trying to compete against them. | Open | None | Other | Ember34

Oddnose| 27 moons | She-cat | Kit Stealers | straight

A very small, athletic, black and brown rosetted tabby. With a white chest, paws, and tail tip. They have a narrow face with round bright yellow eyes and an oddly pink nose. Oddnose is a quiet tom he rather reserved, Oddnose doesn’t seem open for talking, although cat’s like to say his expression speaks for itself. It's not that he dislikes his clanmates it's that he'd rather be alone instead though he'll always try and be polite. Born in Rivuletclan Oddnose chose to be a kit stealer hoping it would be more solidarity than being a warrior.

Lynxpaw took some more bites as he listened to Birdspark and gave a small nod. "So it's either doing whatever you want or getting ordered around," he purred. "Well, hope they leave you alone today and look for new kits some other time." It wasn't how he would want to live as he wasn't a cat who could sit around all day and not contribute at all but he also didn't judge Birdspark for not caring all that much about the clan. They hadn't grown up in it after all so they probably didn't feel all that attached to it. Besides, there were plenty of cats in Rivuletclan who could pick up the slack and while not everyone was happy about it it was just something the clan had to accept, unless Webstar said anything about it. And it was not like Birdspark had to hunt for the clan, as a kit stealer this just wasn't something that was expected of them. Lynxpaw quickly finished his robin when Birdspark encouraged him to go see Sandstrike. "You're right about that," he meowed. "Time to get out of here and get as much done as I can today. Well, enjoy your freetime!" He picked up the bones and the bigger feathers, dipped his head and went to quickly bury those remains. 

Then he bounded over to Sandstrike, tail swishing behind him. "Morning, Sandstrike," he meowed as he came to a stop before her. "Hope I didn't keep you waiting. Anyway, what are we doing today?"

(also, feel free to throw Gingerpaw at Silverstorm if you like, Ember. He's still sitting in camp but he's not gonna get her on his own as he thinks she should be allowed to get up on her own without her mentor rushing her)
