CliffClan

- The Ambitious and Extreme -
Description

Cats of CliffClan who want to enjoy the warm weather spend time by the cliffs, basking in the sunlight and getting more energy. They like to utilize the waters by jumping off cliffs and swimming with ease, using it as an advantage during a battle or a hard time. They are located on a warm and crystal clear coast, with great cliffs nearby where they live and defend their territory.

CliffClan was first founded by the first leader, Humble Sea (SeaStar), with the prefix being given in honor of all the strength, ambition, courage, and leap of faith, as they brave themselves to the waves of difficult situations of the clan.

《 Clan Background 》

After the Great Journey, Humble Sea (SeaStar) was a smart cat who took the lead and gathered a small group of others from the clan that were willing to live near the coastal edges and by the great cliffs. The cats would then set their paws down into the warm coastal zone, but they still had several troubles as they now had to adapt to their surroundings, which was very hot and humid compared to the colder regions where they previously lived in.

In order to adapt to the heat, the cats would begin to learn how to swim well and effectively, as it would be essential for survival and even during battles. Swimming was essential to their clan's survival and also became a very integral part of their everyday life.

When the clan faced a deadly heatwave, few of the cats died due to the immense heat. Humble Sea had a decision to make, in which they decided to create a training of all ages and all cats, which focused on swimming. Many of the cats were initially hesitant and saw it as a disadvantage, but they would soon become open minded and begin to adapt to the changes, with many cats learning how to swim. From then onward, swimming was deemed an important part of life within the CliffClan cats, and it became a part of their lives for generations.

With many generations now lived through, the Clan has become quite experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to their territory, their hunting tactics, and their overall culture. The current leader, ShellMist (ShellStar), is leading the 15th generation of CliffClan alongside her deputy DriftWish as they aim to lead the Clan towards a new era. The cats have sleek fur, stronger legs, and they are able to jump off cliffs and swim to the waters with great ease. They have become a proud and respected Clan to all others around the territory.

Details

  • The earlier generations of CliffClan have fluffy, thick fur. Whenever they swim, their pelts become glossy, shining like a gemstone with its lustrous beauty at the sun.
  • The current generation of CliffClan are now much stronger and more fit for survival, with shorter fur, and stronger limbs to help with their jumping and swimming abilities.
  • Despite their duties, they enjoyed playing in the soft and warm sands. In the afternoons, they would find time to bask their bellies in the sunlight and enjoy the ocean breeze and the beauty of the seas they lived near.
  • They are known to decorate their living dens with shiny and lustrous rocks and beautiful shells, which add a lovely touch to the Clan's space. They like to show their pride and loyalty to the Clan through these decorations, making each den even more beautiful than the last.
Territory

CliffClan is known for its vast shorelines, tall cliffs and even taller lighthouses. Their territory spans from the end of FlowerClan's territory to the end of the beach, including the lighthouse. These cats take immense pride in their territory, especially in the tall cliffs that they built their nests in.

Camp

CliffClan's camp territory is located on the cliffs of the shore, where it is protected and well-hidden from unwanted intruders or predators. The camp itself is built into the side of the cliff face, where the cat's dens and the nursery are well-protected from danger. The cats who live here can be found anywhere on the cliffs, and they have a very good lookout of the surrounding areas due to the elevation advantage of being on the cliffs.

The camp is decorated beautifully, with flowers and shells decorating the whole area. The dens that the cats live in are more like homes of a family, in which they share with their kits and littermates or any other cats they may have in their den. The dens are a part of a cat's personal space and are considered private areas to each cat. In CliffClan, the dens are focused more on families, and it is very common for some family members to share the same dens and live together in groups.

Sun-kissed Shores

The land meets the sea here, where the sandy beaches allow the cats to enjoy their time under the sun or near the sea. It is a place of rest and relaxation, where the cats have their fun and games under the warm sun or take a quick dip in the water. These cats like to come here and enjoy their time here, and often refer to is a sanctuary to relax in.

Sun-kissed shores and be known as the warmer shore with the bright sunlight shining through the sand and making it a very vibrant and exciting shore. A good place to lounge around and just relax under the warm embrace of the sun.

Crystal Shores - CliffClan's Crystal Shores are located near the cliffs, where the water and the shore are soft and calm. The moonlight washes over the bright white sand that coats the shores and the gentle waves wash over the shore. This cool shore is a tranquil, peaceful area perfect for relaxing in the moonlight and listening to the gentle waves that crash against the shore.
Medicine cat den - The medicine den is also located in a little cave found near the Crystal Shores, providing a quiet and peaceful environment for the clan's medicine cats. The medicine cats have arranged the inside of it with various herbs and medicinal plants to heal the cats from illnesses and injuries during the time of crisis.
Shining Moonscape - The Shining Moonscape Sea is a gorgeous and tranquil sea that is a wonderful sight to behold, with its shining rays of the sun bouncing off the bright waves, and the moonlights shining bright over it during the evening. Cats had named this sea the Shining Moonscape as they had not originally known it was a real sea. Here, cats teach eachother how to swim and fish, while others enjoy the cool waters for fun or leisure purposes. The Shining Moonscape Sea thus provides the cats with survival skills and a place to find relaxation.
Starguiding Lighthouse - A mystical and guiding light of the sea, a tower that shines brighter than the moon and stars at night, where cats look up at it with wonder. They all know that two-legs use this, but they sometimes visit it due to their curiosity
