Warrior Cats Legacy Challenge

alright guys gals and nonbinary pals, it's cats time

as i stated would probably be the case before, this is a sub-chapter!

--



Last time where we left off, our founder Ripplestar had been kicked out of her Clan for being too aggressive and prideful for her own (or anyone else's) good.

So of course, like any perfectly reasonable person would do in such a situation, she decided to build her own Clan from scratch, purely out of spite.



Her first recruit is the very agreeable Dawn, who hardly knows what's going on but is perfectly happy to be here nonetheless.



The two she-cats spent a while training together in peace and quiet, honing Dawn's hunting skill and getting the prey pile a bit more full to accommodate the new cats they would be recruiting. As it turns out, Dawn is a rather gifted fisher cat!

It wouldn't be long before a new pair of cats would wander into the territory, both of which Ripplestar and Dawn wasted no time in assessing.



The first being Strawberry, an unfortunately rather lazy and self-serving cat-- not the best fit for the Clan Ripplestar envisioned. Had she not been effectively scared away by the self-proclaimed leader's aggressive tussling herself, she would've been driven out anyways.



On the other hand, however, she was accompanied by a much more suitable recruit: a gung-ho, energetic tom name Phoenix! Largely unfazed by Ripplestar's sharp tongue and particularly good with land hunting, he passed the test and was brought in as one of the Clan's founders.





Funnily enough, Ripplestar lost a fight to a raccoon! Thankfully, Phoenix was there to scare it off.

Due to the fact that I'm not using random generators until the Clan is established, she lived, but she might not be so lucky the next time her aggression gets the best of her-- after all, she may have assigned herself the position of leader, but StarClan never gave her any extra lives.



On a lighter note though, Dawn shared tongues so often with the other cats that she ended up getting a hairball and vomiting. Nasty.



Next up to the plate were a pair of toms: the fiercely loyal Crumble (the reddish one), and the rather foppish Earl (the blue-ish one).



Crumble's recruitment was a no-brainer, with how diligently he liked to guard the fresh-kill pile and how well he got along with most of the other cats-- Ripplestar being an exception, because she doesn't get along with anybody, except maybe Dawn.



As for Earl, seeing as Ripplestar was the highest in authority currently present, his first move was to attempt to charm his way into the leader's good graces.



... yeah. Not happening with this she-cat, buddy.



Poor Dawn on the other hand had seemed to take a fancy to him-- and he was not a cat to let someone down gently. Especially not after the recent wound that was inflicted on his pride.

Unwanted advances aside, Earl did prove to be an efficient enough hunter. And after a bit of convincing on Dawn's part, Ripplestar begrudgingly allowed him into the Clan.



The first Clan meeting was held on a quiet evening, with all cats having been called to the front of Ripplestar's den.

With the group now being an established Clan, they were all given their own Clan names: Dawn is now Minnowstream, Phoenix - assigned medicine cat - is now Brightflame, Crumble - assigned deputy - is now Rowanpelt, and Earl is now Dappledsky. As a group, they were hereby dubbed LakeClan.

And so, with a group of decently capable cats to call her Clan, Ripplestar's first hurdle in the path towards prosperity is now out of the way.

The real challenge has just begun.
