OVERVIEW
"I promise you, on my life, I will guide StormClan if you leave it to my paws."
- Cherrystar, StormClan Leader
Often seen by the other Clans as resilient but uncompromising, intimidating and standoffish, honorable but inflexible, self-reliant and aloof. Appearance-wise, they are often stereotypically imagined as short-haired, long-legged, angular, lean, sturdy, with smoke and solid pelts common.
To their own, StormClan is best characterized by their insistence on loyalty and strength. Many cats of StormClan grow up ambitious and assured in their own paws, a trait they carry well into battle. They stand opposed to BriarClan in a generation-spanning tension, and view DawnClan as merely rebellious defectors from StormClan itself.
Healers are discouraged from having both mates and kits. High-ranking cats are permitted to eat before others, but it is not required. Incoming scouts perform vigil-watches upon their ceremonies, while incoming wardens perform vigil-walks.
HIGH RANKS
CHERRYSTAR (he/him)
RANK: LEADER (9/9) | Played by Blue
Cherrystar was exceptionally young to be chosen as Duskstar's first and only deputy, but he's stepped up to the plate. Proud and direct, he's sworn to bring StormClan back up to the higher standards it held in the past; especially since his own predecessor defected due to the rampant disrespect.
PHOEBETAIL (she/her)
RANK: DEPUTY | Played by Hal
Cherrystar's first deputy and one of his closest confidants, Phobetail was an obvious choice for the role. Her optimism and support are much-needed within StormClan, and though it's uncertain how she'll handle the more stressful aspects of the promotion, she'll be sure to try!
STREAMSTEP (she/her)
RANK: HEALER | Played by Cal
Being a healer was not Streamstep's first choice in life. Originally a scout, Streamstep was promoted to healer following Duskstar's interpretation of a dream. She's definitely a choice, with her blunt demeanor and judgemental inner world.
TALLSTORM (she/her)
RANK: HEALER | Played by Barry
To the cats of StormClan, Tallstorm's name is synonymous with success. A formidable warden turned healer, Tallstorm's life should be the ideal for any StormClan cat. This life, however, has left her cynical and guarded beyond her courage.
PTARMIGANPAW (he/they)
RANK: HEALER APPRENTICE | Played by Blue
Ptarmiganpaw's apprentice ceremony came to much excitement, for better or worse; his own mother Mesasnarl berated Tallstorm in front of the whole Clan during it! Shortly after, a divorce between Ptarmiganpaw's parents ensued. Welcome to apprenticehood, little buddy!
