OVERVIEW
"Let them think StormClan is weak. We will prove them wrong."
- Duskstar, 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
DUSKSTAR (he/him)
RANK: LEADER (7/9) | Played by Bond
While Duskstar is not the oldest leader in the territories, he's certainly brought a lot of changes to StormClan in his time. Most notable is the division of StormClan and DawnClan that cost him his family, brought about by his refusal to shelter a warrior he believed did not deserve it.
CHERRYWHISKER (he/him)
RANK: DEPUTY | Played by Blue
Cherrywhisker 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 stands as a formidable second to Duskstar's... underwhelming reign.
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!
