Russetstar's Links
My dad! He's a good guy, but he thinks a lot on things he can't change. That's depression, I guess. I always felt like he didn't give me enough attention... I need to get over it though, I have more pressing issues now.
My daughter! She's done so well for herself... Hard to believe she's the leader of the clan! I'm very proud of her. I miss her littermates so much though. She never seemed too upset to lose them, which I struggle to understand.
Grandmother. I got evacuated when she was coming, but I don't think she would have hurt me. Judging from what dad said, anyway... Hey, I wonder who was supposed to evacuate me anyway?! They totally lost me!
Granddaughter. I wish I could have seen her...
Grandfather, I've heard the story a few times, and the details are less clear-cut each time. I think dad is struggling with whether or not he trusts the judgement of long-gone LunarClanners. Honestly, it could be either, or both. No one's entirely good or bad, right?
Granddaughter, I died before her birth.
Step-son / first cousin once removed. He's a sweet guy, and a better warrior than he gets credit for, kind of sad he won't be back. He was so upset when his mother killed me! It surprised me, since our family isn't very close-knit.
Step-mother / first cousin once removed. She and dad didn't raise me as much as mom, but I think she would have done well. She's mom's cousin and dad's mate, and I guess now she's LunarClan leader. Took me by surprise...
Step-grandson / first cousin twice removed. I was surprised to hear Cedar had kits! She's so hard to get a read of... I can't wait to meet them. Spider went and saw them, and I think Dead did too. I should talk to Stag sometime anyway.
Step-grandmother / first cousin twice removed. She leads a clan? I want to too! I bet I could if Rain's stupid plan ever actually works. That's a lot of territory to take, she wouldn't miss some if I took it. I could share ShadeClan with Loamy!
He was my uncle... mom didn't like him, but she didn't pay a lot of attention to me either. I guess their mom was the same way too. I have to make sure to care for my kits equally, or best case scenario I make an ass of myself.
Niece. Of my sister's kids, this one has proven most capable. Basil favoritized her son, and left her daughters to wonder why she had no time for them, just like our mother. Barktooth left in two-leg place, are you kidding me...
Great-uncle. Dad kinda remembers him. I don't know what happened, but no matter the specifics, it wasn't good. That being said, there is no other way to resolve it besides to let go, even if that doesn't feel like the right thing to do.
Great-niece. Same pelt color. That's kinda neat I guess.
Second cousin... I don't know what happened. There are a lot of cats on the move in the territories, and it'd be foolish for me to think I can understand all of them, but Cory's one of those mysteries that make me uneasy.
Second cousin. It's cool that she's leader, but I've got places to be. They all probably think I told Timberstar their ambush plans. I didn't, but maybe it moved on from who I told. But you know what? We should be allowed to be here.
Brother-in-law, and, despite his attitude, a good friend of mine. He has a lot of friends in SolarClan now though, so he's staying there. I need to get LunarClan to that level, or we're going to be completely overshadowed.
Sister-in-law, and a close friend, though we don't get to talk much anymore since she's pretty occupied at gatherings. We've known each other since the day she was born. She and Robin were a bit alike as kids, but she stayed tolerable.
She's my cousin, mother of my step-kids, and predecessor. Things weren't always this bad, you know? She was always a threat, but she's changed into a complete monster, and I will do what I have to to keep her from hurting anybody else.
Cousin. She took LunarClan from me, but maybe that's the way it should be. I have a clan that prefers my ideals now. Nonetheless, we are enemies now, and I will destroy anything if it conveniences me. I've little else to do.
First cousin once removed. Thorn has pretty high expectations... but I'm aiming high anyway! She's been very bitter lately, and admitted to having done some pretty bad things in the past, but I don't think she's a bad cat.
First cousin once removed. I'm... glad Russetstar has the leadership. Though things could be going better... I suppose that's as much my fault as hers though, as far as I know. I know mom's probably glad she's leader.
Lunarstar founded the clan, and led it for most of its history, so my idea of leadership is heavily influenced by her. I respect Lunarstar, but I need to look at this through a fresh lens and make decisions that I think will be good for the clan.
She has my clan now. Perhaps she was destined to. Is that how all of this works? I think that it may. I see that she and her deputy are trying to do this alone, but my wisdom will certainly be available if needed... which it may not be...
Ex. Honestly... things were going good, but we both have responsibilities in our own clans, and I couldn't do this forever. I don't think they're as okay with it as I am. I don't think they want to be alone, though they don't seem to want to admit it.
Ex... even though we weren't formally together. She's got someone else now, but I'm stuck here. I've got plenty of friends and family, more than her, I guess I'm prolly just like, actually depressed. Or just like, really... you know.
Cousin. I hope all goes well out on that island. Golden's going to have to parent twice as hard to make up for Storm... It feels bad he never really got to have the family he wanted. I think a lot of cats miss out on that...
Cousin, I guess she's a leader, huh. Well, she better do a good job of it, cuz if she doesn't! She's goin on the list. See here, we got Timberstar and Freakystar, to be usurped for their crimes. We'll be watchin' you, bub!!
First cousin once removed. Hollow had a lot of kids, and we don't really know any of them. Look though, we share an eye color! From what I've heard of her kids, they don't have the same resent for her as the rest of us.
First cousin once removed. My immediate family is stressful enough, I... I don't even think I want to care about the extended family. She's a leader, like her brother was through my time in SolarClan. I guess her clan likes her though...
Step-niece. I don't think my brother took to well to the step-kids... but... according to Swallow, he wasn't the best to his own either. I don't know Spine very well. Trout tells me she's a loner who just so happens to be in the clan.
Step-aunt, and she's also one of dad's friends, so... She seems nice, but, again. Not about meeting others. Can you imagine me initiating a... conversation... with a clan leader? Oh that would be so shocking...
Step-daughter / first cousin once removed. She would have been fine if her mother wasn't so... Timber. I have no idea how things are going for her now, I don't want to be too optimistic, since I know she did go with Timber... but I hope they're well.
Step-mom / first cousin once removed
Makes a better leader than my mother
Step-granddaughter / first cousin thrice removed. I hope things are going smoothly. I know I'm a bit old for a first-time queen, but I still think Cedar and Bane are pretty young, and it doesn't sound like there's a stable relationship between them.
Step-grandma / first cousin thrice removed
First cousins once removed. I never knew any of Hollow's kids well, but I don't feel inclined to avoid them now. We're all grown, and it's not very becoming of a leader to avoid someone just because their mother was a murderer.
First cousins once removed
He's my mate! ... Yes, he is a little awkward, haha. We've been friends since I found him in the woods when we were... seven moons? I wonder how long he's liked me for. There were times I wondered... but I wouldn't ask that, because I also wouldn't want to answer it!
Mates, I'm trying but I'm kinda lost about it all...
Been friends ever since I joined Lunarclan
Cousin! Man do those kits look like their dad. I know Lunarstar isn't exactly chuffed about BraveClan being formed, but I can't imagine being enemies with them. They have way too many precious babies in their ranks!
Cousin, I heard she's cool
My nephew... I wish life were kinder to him. He's a good kid, it's too bad my brother couldn't see that in a way that mattered. TempestClan took down the rogue that attacked him... it's nice to know we have some things we agree on.
Auntie. She's really kind. I appreciate her so much and I think she was the right choice to lead Lunarclan.
First cousin once removed. We don't hear much from that part of the family, but... it really is too bad. There are probably some good cats there. Brinestorm told me a bit of what happened to Tattered, but I don't have the whole story.
First cousin once removed
She was my apprentice, but she's joined TempestClan... It feels dramatic to be upset about, but apprentices are special! I taught her my skills, which her mother taught me! But Timber taught her that these traditions don't matter.
Mentor. She was alright.
Adoptive second cousin once removed. Well, if he's anything like his parents, we're lucky to have him! I heard a bit more about Lioncall from Brinestorm. Pretty crazy there were cats with special powers just around with most of us not knowing.
Adoptive second cousin once removed. She's the leader, so I have to respect her.
