Duskstar || Tom || Leader, Ashclan || 41 Moons
|| Duskstar is a dusty brown tom with much darker tabby markings, with amber eyes a few shades more vibrant than the color of his fur. The fur of his belly is somewhat more pale than the rest of his body, and while he isn't much larger than your average tom, there's clear muscle in his frame.
Duskstar is reserved but warm. Other Ashclan cats who knew Duskstar when he was younger might remember him as being outgoing, but the death of Deerpaw when they were apprentices made him notably more withdrawn. This was further reinforced when he became leader a little more than a moon after being selected as deputy, due to the late Rushstar losing his last two lives in quick succession. As a result of these, while Duskstar relishes in interacting with other cats, he often tends to hold himself at a distance-- almost like he doesn't know how to interact with them anymore. He is, however, quick to consult with and consider the opinions of other cats in the clan when in times of struggle or crisis. ||
|| Duskstar has no siblings or littermates. His father, Sedgefrost, has passed on to Starclan. His mother, Sparrowflight, is a clan elder. He has had no mate, although he did have a romantic attachment to a fellow apprentice when he was younger. The two of them likely would have become mates upon becoming warriors, but Deerpaw was killed by a fox shortly before their warrior ceremonies. He hasn't gone out of his way to form any close connections since. ||

Tawnystep || She-Cat || Warrior, Ashclan ||41 Moons
|| Tawnystep is a cinnamon-colored she-cat with brown spotted tabby markings and amber eyes. The fur on her chest and leading down to her belly is a pale tan color, as are the backs of her back legs. She is lean and lithe.
Tawnystep, unlike her brother, has always been on the quiet side. She has always preferred to sit back and watch from the sidelines before getting involved, in order to make sure she has a clear picture of the situation at hand. As a natural observer, she is usually not the first to engage with other cats. While not unkind, especially to her own clan, Tawnystep can be haughty, and tends to value her own opinion over that of her clanmates. This can sometimes rub others the wrong way. ||
|| Tawnystep was born to Sparrowflight and the now-deceased Sedgefrost. Her only littermate is Duskstar. The two of them are not particularly close, but they get along well when they interact. They have started to do this with less frequency since Duskstar's rise to leader of the clan. ||

Sunpaw || She-Cat || Apprentice, Ashclan || 13 Moons
|| Sunpaw is a small, long-haired tortoiseshell she-cat. While there is no white on her pelt, the ginger-colored patches somewhat outweigh the patches of darker fur, giving her a rather vibrant appearance. Her eyes are a greenish-yellow so pale they don't seem to stand out from her fur at all despite the color difference.
Sunpaw is warm and friendly. Among her clanmates, she is known to be a social butterfly, always going out of her way to interact positively with those around her. She shows care to those around her when she can, especially when it comes to cats who might be a few moons younger than she is. However, her warm nature also has led her to be a bit of a pushover. Sunpaw is easy to take advantage of if someone knows how to push the right buttons, and it isn't hard to guess which buttons those are. ||

Sparrowflight || She-cat || Elder, Ashclan || 108 Moons
|| Sparrowflight is a light brown she-cat, whose tabby markings are so close in shade to the rest of her pelt that they barely stand out. In contrast, her green eyes pop. Sparrowflight is longer than your average she-cat and, in her prime, was packed with lean muscle. The past several moons in the Elder's Den, however, have softened her appearance.
Sparrowflight, despite softening somewhat with age, has always been known to be a bit stubborn. She is smart, and often thinks logically, but tends to become a bit stuck in the mud once she has her mind set on something. This is helped by the fact that she has a strong sense of morality, and most often digs her heels in when it comes to doing what she thinks is right in a moral sense. While fierce in the moment, she is often willing to apologize once she has been able to see the error of her ways. The real struggle is getting her to see that she was wrong in the first place. ||
|| Sparrowflight's parents have long since passed away, as has her mate. She had two kits, Tawnystep and Duskstar, the latter being the current clan leader. Around the time he rose to this position, she retired to the Elder's Den; several injuries she'd received as a warrior, especially those from the fox attack nineteen moons ago, began to slow her down to the point that she struggled to keep up with the other warriors. ||

Ridgeclan
Gorgerunner || Tom || Warrior, Ridgeclan || 52 Moons
|| Gorgerunner is a lean-muscled tom with medium length gray fur. There are several splotches of darker gray scatter across his entire body, especially around his flank. He has green eyes and particularly long whiskers.
Gorgerunner is a firm believer in the idea that a cat can do almost anything they set their mind to, as long as they're willing to do the work that it will require. He is determined and has a strong drive to do well for his clan. When challenged, he will always put what is best for his clanmates at the top of his priority list. Despite this, Gorgerunner is neither curt or detached. In fact, he can be quite charming. He is, however, easily frustrated, and can be impatient. ||
|| tba ||
Cavepaw || Tom || Medicine Cat Apprentice, Ridgeclan || Age (in Moons)
|| Cavepaw, compared to other cats his age, is on the small side. His pelt is a solid shade of dull shade of dark brown somewhere around taupe, and his eyes are a watery shade of blue. His back left leg looks slightly crooked, and somewhat drags when he walks.
Cavepaw looks quiet, and he is. Maybe it's his natural personality, or a result of the time he spent in the medicine den as a kit due to how sickly he was, but Cavepaw is fairly withdrawn. Rarely does he speak without being spoken to, even to cats he might know very well. Outside of his littermates, Cavepaw is shy. However, he is also very observant. He has learned a lot by watching those around him, and has gotten adept at reading the moods and tones of those around him. His quiet nature also means that he sometimes goes unseen by those around him, leading to him accidentally overhearing more than one conversation he shouldn't have. ||
|| Badgerpaw and Gingerpaw are his littermates. As a kit, Cavepaw was quite sickly. Nobody is quite sure if this is related in some way to his leg, which he was born with, but many just assume it is. ||
Gingerpaw || She-Cat || Apprentice, Ridgeclan || Age (in Moons)
|| Despite what her name might imply about the color of her coat, Gingerpaw is actually a cream color. She is a bit small for her age, but not enough so that she stands out in a crowd of cats. Her eyes are a dark amber. ||
|| Gingerpaw is a friendly cat known for caring about those around her, especially her littermates. She may, in fact, care too much; she spent many of her moons as a kit fretting over Cavepaw when he was rather sickly. As a result, she can be a bit overprotective. It doesn't help that Gingerpaw is also prone to anxiety and catrosphizing. When stressed or worried, Gingerpaw will always imagine the worst outcome first.
|| Cavepaw and Badgerpaw are her littermates. Cavepaw was quite sickly as a kit, and as a result, Gingerpaw worries for him often. ||
Dawnstone || She-Cat || Elder, Ridgeclan || 134 Moons
|| Dawnstone is a ticked gray tabby she-cat with blue eyes. While she is a long-haired cat, there are several patches along her flank where it seems like parts of her fur are shorter and/or thinner.
Dawnstone is a kind, almost grandmotherly sort of cat. She loves to engage with the other members of her clan, whether it's chatting with the other elders about days past, or talking off the ear of an apprentice who only came to the Elder's Den to change out her moss. While sweet, she is long-winded, and often cannot tell when people no longer want to be speaking to her. ||

Stormclan
Mothswipe || Gender || Warrior, Stormclan || 38 Moons
|| Mothswipe is a tabby and siamese mix, which has left her with a rather odd coat. Her legs, ears, muzzle, belly, and tail all have the appearance and coloring of a light gray tabby. Her back and face, however, are the same creamy off-white commonly associated with Siamese cats.
Mothswipe is known to be incredibly practical, to the point of being analytical and aloof. She often prioritizes thinking and acting over feeling, and while this isn't always a bad thing, she often comes off as cold. As such, she can be difficult to get to know, and she struggles to empathize with the emotions of other cats around her. However, she is incredibly smart and usually good at seeing many possible outcomes as well as predicting actions that other parties might make. ||
|| She can often struggle to make friendships and connections, but she is rather close with her sister Minnowbreeze. Her sister often softens her harder edges and the two of them have a strange ability to understand the other's thought process despite their differences. ||
Minnowbreeze || She-Cat || Warrior, Stormclan || 38 Moons
|| Like her sister, Minnowbreeze has a very distinct coat as a result of being a tabby Siamese mix, although hers is less severe. She has the appearance of a gray tabby on her tail, muzzle, and paws. Her underbelly, face, and back are all a very stark white color, as are most of her legs.
Minnowbreeze is, at her core, a kind and well-meaning cat. However, she often forgets to think before she speaks or look before she leaps. As a result, she makes frequent but simple blunders that, while usually innocuous, can lead to less than great outcomes. Because of this, she is very prone to self-doubt, and often beats herself up over seemingly small mistakes. However, she always acts with good intentions, even if her own clumsy nature can get in the way. ||
|| Minnowbreeze is very close with her sister, Mothswipe. While Mothswipe can come off as cold, or occasionally robotic, their close relationship means that Minnowbreeze understands her often complicated sister. ||
Creekpaw || Tom || Apprentice, Stormclan|| Age (in Moons)
|| Creekpaw bears caramel-colored fur and darker markings. His ears, nose, and paws all have more of a walnut coloring than the rest of his fur. Despite being a short-furred cat, his fur has an almost fluffy appearance to it that makes him seem younger than he is. His eyes are a hazel-green.
Creekpaw is sociable and outgoing, often going out of his way to talk to his littermates or fellow apprentices. He tends to be good-humored and high energy. However, he can also be impatient and reckless. At times, he can be quite immature. He also has somewhat of a tendency to get himself into trouble. It's quite lucky that he is so charasamtic, because he often has to talk himself back out of that trouble.
|| Creekpaw is the son of Brackenstar, and the littermate of Troutpaw. ||
Pebbletooth || Tom || Elder, Stormclan || 141 Moons
|| Pebbletooth is a short-haired gray tabby. In his warrior years, he was a tall and muscular cat that cut a rather imposing figure. While he is still a bit on the larger side, much of that muscle mass has been lost due to age. He has a few scars down his right flank, and the tips of his ears hold onto a few little knicks from fights and spars over the years.
Pebbletooth is a fairly quiet cat, at least in his old age. The loss of his mate and one of his kits many moons ago changed him; since then, despite the amount of time that has passed, he has been a bit quiet. However, he has always been fierce in both his love and compassion for his family, particularly his surviving kits and the kits those cats would later have. Now, as an elder, he can tend towards the grumpy side. ||
|| As Pebbletooth is older, many of his family members have passed away in various circumstances. His mate passed away in the kitting of their second, as did one of the kits within that litter. -more tba- ||
