Kinkfur! She Is Needletail's other Grandma, but you wouldn't realize that from reading the books haha. She is first named in the allegiances of Eclipse, as a warrior. In the Omen of the Stars she has a litter of kits, Mistcloud, Sparrowtail, and Dewkit, who attempt to play with Ivypool when she is captured and held in Shadowclan during Night Whispers. In the last battle she helps Littlecloud take care of the wounded during the battle. Her lengthiest appearances happen in Thunder and Shadow, and while she has a bit of the 'stock shadowclan' rude and proud attitude she also tends to be a bit softer and more trusting than other cats, choosing to believe and trust Violetpaw to be loyal because she was unwilling to betray the Kin. She falls ill with Yellowcough and perishes, prompting the medicine cats to defy Onestar and gather the lungwort anyway at their next gathering. Crowfrost remembers her at her vigil as having been "loyal to Shadowclan for many moons, and she was loyal and kind to the end." Other fun facts, as of writing this she is the only Shadowclan cat who's name begins with K.

Riverstar! I listened to his super edition recently and actually liked it quite a lot. I know there have been a lot of critiques of it as having undermined his character in the Dawn of the Clans but idk I thought it was humanizing and kind of funny to see him swimming around in the dark pretending to be wise haha. As a founder he was the one that received the least characterization, and knowing he came from the park cats it was always a story I wanted to see more of. I like the idea that he is so spontaneous that he mostly repeats back what cats share with him and then they think he is special because of it, but doesn't actually have a lot of clairvoyance beyond a normal cat.
I gave him a bit of mane hair, similar to tree to try to capture a yoga teacher vibe in combination with his face stripes mimicking facial hair ha. His body type is based off of a Norwegian forest cat, and I think for the 'breeds' I'll be modeling Riverclan from will be Norwegians, Turkish Van, Bengals in the case of leopardstar ha, Bobtails/Manx, and wild fishing cats. This isn't because I think clans are purebreds, but characteristics of these breeds lend them toward water. I specifically am excluding Maine Coons however, because their size is their breed trait and in my mind that's the Sisters haha.
