Many seasons ago, the last of the Clans split after a great battle, and went their seperate ways.  DawnClan, NightClan, StormClan, and SunClan.  And, one by one, each of them was torn apart.  Many found their new territories too dangerous and tough to live in, and, despite their allegiance to the warrior code, went to live with Twolegs.  Illness took scores of lives during one of the harshest leafbares ever remembered. Fights broke out within Clans, and finally all of the Clans were gone.
Except one.
SunClan was the lucky one.  They were the first to leave afterwhat would be known as the Great Battle.  They found a home in a lush green valley filled with rivers and streams, huge mountains to shelter them from the worst of storms, a forest filled with abundant prey, and, in the northernmost reaches of the forest, a small shady glen filled with scattered rocks and fallen trees.  This would be their new home.  Their stronghold in a strange world for generations to come.
 
Plot
It is now three generations after the first cats of SunClan to find their new home in the valley.  They now know their new home as well as they had their own one.  A full nursery promises more strong warriors, as well as the current apprentices.
But danger lurks on the horizon.  The cats of SunClan don't know that a band of rogue cats is making its way towards their precious valley.
Can they fight back?  Or will they be forced out of yet another home?
 
Rules
Yes, they're not fun, be we've got to have them!

Name: Whitetail
Warrior Name:  N/A
Gender: Male
Age: 27 moons
Personality: Whitetail is a hardworking and loyal warrioir.  He was raised to honor the warrior code and his Clan above all else, which he does very persistently.  He believes in hard work, and gets annoyed when others slack offor fall short of their expectations.  He tries his best to be brave in the face of fear, and believe in times of doubt.
Ranking: Deputy
Crush/Mate: None
History : Whitetail was born in a rare leafbare litter.  His father died a week later in a bout of greencough, which also weakened his mother.  When he became an apprentice, he trained as hard as he could for his father's sake, and became a warrior a few moons early.  His mother retired prematurely to the elder's den the same day that he earned his warrior name after losing her sight.
Family: Goldenflower (mother), Greyfur (father, deceased), Brackenfeather (sister)
Looks: Whitetail is a large white tome with cream-colored ear tips and tail tip.  He has broad shoulders and piercing green eyes.  He is fast and strong, but not a very good jumper or particularly fast climber.  He is fierce in battle, though, and makes an enemy to be feared.
Other: None
 
-
 
Name: Sparkwhisker
Warrior Name:  N/A
Gender: Female
Age: 16 moons
Personality: Playful and energetic, Sparkwhisker has the body of a warrior, but the personality of a kit.  She enjoys what she does as a warrior, and loves helping herClan, but she often longs for something more. Sparkwhisker often finds herself dreaming of adventure, but doesn't confide in anyone of it because she doesn't want more teasing than she already gets.  Despite this, though, Sparkwhisker is friendly and outgoing, and willing to help anyone or anything in need.
Ranking: Warrior
Crush/Mate: None (Open)
History : Sparkwhisker was born early to her mother, Riverclaw.  She was always the most playful and crazy of her three siblings.  When she was five moons old, just about to become an apprentice, one of her brothers, Adderkit, died.  She grieved the loss of him, but it hurt her other family members more.  She was the first to get over him, and the others never truly forgave her for that, and lost in their own grief, scolded her for not honoring her brother properly.  She now is not nearly as close to her family as she once was.
Family:  Riverclaw (mother), Dewdrop (sister), Rockpelt (father), Redtail (brother)
Looks: A fairly small she-cat with strikingly red-ginger fur.  She has pale green eyes with golden flecks and a long tail.  Herfur is short and smooth, and it gets ruffled when she is alarmed or fearful.  She is light on her paws and very agile, but not very strong.
Other: None

Name: Starpaw
Warrior Name: Starwalker
Gender: Male
Age: 13 Moons
Personality: Starpaw is generally a easy-going cat when among friends or those he knows, talking and cracking jokes just as any other apprentice would. But when he watches Silentpaw going out on patrols and battle training he is often jealous that that was the life he could have had if he was not so weak in structure. When asked why he's so small or why he looked to odd among all the other cats he is not afraid to slash at ears or call out insults. He hates to be reminded of his life as a medicine cat apprentice. But the upside to everything is that he enjoys to heal, particularity kits. He likes to save them so they can grow up and do the things he will never be able to. But Starpaw always worries over his brother, even though he tends to get hurt when around Silentpaw. He see's the pain his brother hides so well and wants to help but never can, and he hates it when other cats sympathize him because of his origins. 
Ranking: Medicine Cat Apprentice
Crush/Mate: Forbidden
History: He was nursed almost from death by Falconwing, who he considers his mother, along with his older brother Silentpaw. He started out as a warrior apprentice, but being as weak as he is he was forced to become a medicine cat apprentice. 
Family: Fallenwind (father), Shimmer (deceased mother), Silentpaw (brother), unnamed she-kit (deceased sister)
Looks: Starpaw is a very small cat, being the runt of his litter. He has little muscle m*censored* and is often teased of of being skinny enough to be a under-fed rouge. His back bone shows slightly and so do his ribs, but they are fairly hidden behind his long fur. His legs are very long and thing, looking almost as if they could be broken by a gentle smack. His face is normal in proportion to most cats, but his eyes are large and soulful. Starpaw's fur is a light silver almost white with a solid white chest and under belly and a white tipped muzzle. His fur is semi-long and tends to stay slightly matted at the bottom, and his tail is very long and seems like a plum that likes to drag the ground. His eyes are a crystal blue that makes him look blind. 
 Other: He was the runt of his litter, the one who nearly died at birth along with his mother and sister. He is slightly deformed in the sense that he has little to no muscle and very weak bones. 
 
~
 
 Name: Silentpaw
Warrior Name: Silentheart
Gender: Male
Age: 13 Moons
Personality: Silentpaw, like his name suggests is a very quiet cat, and is also anti-social. He prefers to be in the back ground of things and watch to calculate what would be a good plan for him to do to gain the attention of senior warriors. He is always trying to outshine the others because he feels everyone looks down on him for being the son of a rouge, even if they do not. He trains as much as he can and tries to stay out of the camp so he does no attract unwanted attention, especially from his brother. He loves Starpaw as a sibling, but wont hesitate to cuff him along the ears if pestered to share what he's always so upset about. He wishes he could confine in Starpaw that he feels unworthy of a warrior apprentice name because he will never be as good as clan born cats. Silentpaw also hates Fallenwind, blaming him for everything, his life in a clan that he thinks will never accept him, and his brothers defects that stop him from becoming what he truly wants. 
Ranking: Apprentice
Crush/Mate: None
History: He, like Starpaw, was nursed and raised by Falconwing and considers her as his true mother. He knows his mother was a rouge, and that his father betrayed the warrior code by loving a rouge. He ignores it though, and also ignores Fallenwind.
Family: Fallenwind (father), Shimmer (deceased Mother), Starpaw (brother), unnamed she-kit (deceased sister)
Looks: Silentpaw is the complete opposite of his brother. He is a large cat, though about right in proportions to a apprentice his age. He has thick muscles and is well built due to his excessive training with or without his mentor, yet this is hidden by his semi-in length fur. His legs are long, but unlike Starpaw they are well in proportion to the rest of him and are strong with large paws and sharp black claws. His face is slightly long, and his main downfall is that he does not have a strong jaw or bite, making it hard to bite another in battle. This was caused by a birth defect that also destroyed his brothers life as a warrior. His fur is semi-long and is a dark brown with darker tabby stripes running from a main dorsal on his back and getting more paced out and lighter as they go down. His eyes are a cold brown. 
Other: Nope
 
~
 
 Name: Fallenwind
Warrior Name:  N/A
Gender: Male 
Age: 47 Moons
Personality: Fallenwind is a very socially backwards cat, unsure how to truly talk to a cat without saying the wrong things or making himself look like a fool. He is deeply loyal to his clan anymore, even if he was not as a young warrior, and would die to protect it just to show he was still loyal. His past and what he did still pains him constantly, and he sometimes dreams of the beautiful silver she-cat that captured his heart. He watched his sons grow up and itch to be part of their lives. But when he gains the courage to speak with them Falconwing stops him with snarls. He cannot truly blame her. The one mistake of his life cost him everything, and as he tries to correct his wrong doings, they always seem to come back and bite him in the tail, so anymore he's given up on gaining respect from any cat again.
Ranking: Warrior
Crush/Mate: Shimmer (deceased rouge)
History: He was always a good apprentice and very strong, but only a few moons after gaining his warrior status and doing the best he possibly could he saved a young rouge called Shimmer from a fox. It was almost like love at first sight, even though he never believed in it, and went out as often as he could to see her. Together they had three kits, but during her birthing she died along with the only she-kit. The two remaining toms were small and one was seriously defected and dying. He left the two dead cats there as he rushed the remaining kits back to camp. Falconwing agreed to raise them. He had to tell every cat the truth, because most noticed his strange behavior. He, along with a patrol,m went out to bury the bodies. He had told his kits the truth as soon as they became apprentices, not beveling it when Silentpaw snarled at him in hatred and Starpaw turned his back on him. 
Family: Starpaw (son), Silentpaw (son), Unnamed she-kit (daughter)
Looks: He is a large-ish cat with what used to be thick muscles and a strong frame. Any more he is slightly thinner with a look of hollow gauntness about him that outline the shadows on his face and the haunted look in his eyes. His legs are long with m*censored*ive paws and blunt claws. His fur is a dark russet, looking almost blood red in the sun-light with darker spots like jaguar markings along his back. A white spot adorns his muzzle and his front right paw. Fallenwind's eyes are a cold amber.
Other: Nope
 
~
 
 Name: Falconwing
Warrior Name: N/a
Gender: Female
Age: 31 Moons
Personality: Falconwing is generally a very easy going cat, very sweet and kind to just about any cat she meets. But only if their a clan cat. She tends to be overly shy when in groups or with new cats, even if she is nice to them. She hates to be put forward or in the spot light, not feeling like she deserves to be there. Falconwing is very protective of apprentices and kits, though she can be a little blunt and commanding to her apprentice if they disobey. But she never criticizes them if they make honest mistakes. She is overly protective of Silentpaw and Starpaw, snarling at any cat who looks at them like their a burden and she refuses to let Fallenwind, their father, have any contact with them. 
Ranking: Warrior
Crush/Mate: Nope
History : She knew something was wrong with Fallenwind after he started disappearing often, but she payed no attention to it and refused to tell any cat she thought something was wrong. But when he came into camp with two tiny kits on the brink of death she agreed to take care of them and nurse them seeing as she had milk left after her own kit died of green cough. Though she looked down on Fallenwind for his choices she looked at Silentpaw and Starpaw as her own.
Family:  Whisperkit (deceased daughter), Shadetear (deceased father), Russettwind (deceased mother)
Looks: She is a small-ish cat, thought not small enough to be looked at oddly. She has long leg that ripple with muscle and her body is very tiny and lithe, making her a very quick runner. Her fur is extremely long and thick, a delicate calico color. Her fur is a dark brown with orange, black, and white splotches. Her face is mostly white and orange, with a black spot on her nose and a brown one under her right eye. Her eyes are a forest green with odd tiny gold flecks towards the center. 
Other: Nope

Name: Emberfur
Warrior Name:  N/A
Gender: Female
Age: 29 moons
Personality: She is very caring and will always be there for a cat in need whether it be a rogue or a clanmate. She will always put the Clan first, but if a warrior whines about a small scratch, her temper can rise. She gets easily annoyed if another cat complains too much about being hurt while she is trying to do her best at healing.
Ranking: Medicine Cat?
Crush/Mate: She feels all the kits are her own and that the Warriors are her own kin.
History : She had the normal life of a medicine cat. When she was an apprentice, she worked alongside the other medicine cat, Willowtail. She gained her snappy attitude from her, but got her caring and pa.ssionate side from her father, Flamestrike.
Family:  Flamestrike is her only kin alive. He is currently an elder warrior in the Clan.
Looks: She is a small, but wiry she-cat. Her muscles are not as toned as a warriors, but her sleek pelt and amber fur makes her beautiful. She has white-tipped paws like her father, Flamestrike and a pink nose. Her ears are also tipped with white. She has amber eyes that she got from her mother.
Other: Nope.
Name: Blizzardpaw
Warrior Name:  Blizzardwind
Gender: Male
Age: 12 moons
Personality: He is always running around and getting into trouble. His curiousity usually gets the better of him and his sister, Icepaw, keeps him in check. He can be snippy at times, but is good-hearted.
Ranking: Apprentice
Crush/Mate: Open
History : His mother is alive and well in the Clan. When he was a kit, he had the idea to venture out on his own. He ended up startling a rabbit and the poor creature ran at him, feeling it could get the better of him because of his small size. He now has a nick in his right ear from a claw-mark the rabbit left.
Family:  Icepaw is his sister and his mother is Frostwing.
Looks: He has sleek, gray fur that is very light. He has a stripe that runs down his back and up his tail and from there, lighter stripes of gray run down his flank. His ears are tipped with black and his chin and chest fur is white.
Other: Nope
Name: Icepaw
Warrior Name:  Icewhisper
Gender: Female
Age: 12 moons
Personality: Icepaw is the same as Blizzardpaw. She is extremely curious, but has enough sense not to run into trouble. She keeps Blizzardpaw in check and has the biggest mouth in the Clan. Blizzardpaw tells her that she better talk less so her mouth doesn't get too big and she'll never be able to close it. That still doesn't stop her. She is always happy and cares deeply for her brother.
Ranking: Apprentice
Crush/Mate: Open / Ew
History : Icepaw stayed behind when Blizzardpaw ran out of camp. She stayed to cover for him, but felt bad when he came back with a torn ear. From that day, she swore to herself that she would protect him.
Family:  Frostwing is her mother and Blizzardpaw is her brother.
Looks: She has the same fur as Blizzardpaw, but the stripes running down her flank are white and her tail-tip is also white. She is very muscular, but small.
Other: Nope
Name: Flamestrike
Warrior Name:  N/A
Gender: Male
Age: 49 moons
Personality: He has much the same personality as Emberfur. He cares for her deeply, as his mate died due to a badger attack. He and his kit became closer after that. He cares deeply for his Clanmates and is always striving to protect them.
Ranking:  Warrior
Crush/Mate: Mate is deceased.
History : His mate died due to a badger attack and he grieved for a long while after that. After, he took Emberfur under his wing and became closer to her than a father usually does with his kits. He watched her go down a different path than he and felt detached from her, but she was always there when he felt sad for his losses.
Family:  His mate is deceased, but he has Emberfur as kin.
Looks: He has the same fur as Emberpaw, but he is more muscular and sleek. He is quick on his paws and uses speed more than strength. He finds it is the best way to use his body. He has the same white-tipped paw as Emberfur, but his eyes are green instead of amber
Other: no
Name: Frostwing
Warrior Name:  N/A
Gender: Female
Age: 45 moons
Personality: She is protective of her kits, but is very shy. She is quiet around others since her mate died, but she stays strong. She is a fierce and loyal warrior and will do anything for her clan.
Ranking: Warrior
Crush/Mate: Mate died.
History : Her mate died due to a fallen tree. There was a *censored*ndous [?] storm and a tree fell atop of him. She was never the same after that and only shared her kindness with her kits.
Family: Blizzardpaw and Icepaw are her kits.
Looks: She has the same exact look as Icepaw except her pelt is not as dark. She is almost white and has icy blue eyes.
Other: no

((Just in case you're wondering, Stray, I came up with Shimmerpaw before Fallenwind's character sheet.  xD  If you want me to change it, I will.))
Name: Shimmerpaw
Warrior Name:  Probably Shimmerfang, but I'm not sure yet.
Gender: Female
Age: 7 moons
Personality: Shimmerpaw,like many apprentices, is a curious cat.  She loves to learn new things, and can't wait to be a warrior.  She enjoys hunting and fighting, but often longs for the thrill of a real battle.  When present with something that doesn't come to her easily, Shimmerpaw can often become frustrated and angry.  She doesn't like it when othercats get mad at her, or when she is scolded for doing things wrong.
Ranking: Apprentice
Crush/Mate: None
History : Shimmerpaw, right out of the nursery, was trouble.  As soon as she opened her eyes, she was exploring and poking her nose in places she didn't belong.  She played games with the apprentices and soon made friends with them.  When they moved out, though, Simmerpaw was just about to become an apprentice.  Suddenly, she was too young to be a friend of warrioirs, and she was dropped by them.  Shimmerpaw was then friendless for a period of time, and sincerely bitter when others tried to be nice to her.
Family:  [Are they related to someone?  If they are deceased, put that they are.]
Looks: Shimmerpaw is a small silver tabby with dark silver tabby strpeds.  She has brilliant green eyes andsemi-long fur.  She has a light build, andis just beginning to build up some muscle.
Other: None
