I'm just going to borrow Tallsie's free-to-use templates for this, because my coding skill on this kind of forum is nil, and I want this to look relatively organized. xD
NOTE: All of the example images I've used here are free-to-use, and come from an at least decently-sized set, so if you decide to take one of the characters, just ask and I'll link you to it for more images you can use!
Fallow- for yellow-brown coloration, -face for both her beauty and her open, honest personality.
Characteristics: Kind, open-minded, honest, curious, trusting (to a fault), a worrier.
Fallowface is Elkstride's only living sister, and one of his closest friends. She shares her brother's down-to-earth personality, and understands him better than anyone, despite or perhaps because of his quiet reservedness. Oftentimes he doesn't actually have to say much to her for her to pick up on what he's thinking, and this bond has strengthened since the death of their sister, Weaselfang. Elkstride would do anything to protect her, and in fact is probably a little over-protective of her. She has a strong relationship with her mate, Waspclaw, and has two grown daughters, Ivythorn and Honeystripe, whom she loves dearly.made by tallsie of gossamer
Wasp- for his coloration and small size, though it became doubly appropriate when he grew up to have a rash, acerbic temper, and -claw to denote his talent for combat.
Characteristics: Rash, temperamental, sarcastic, loyal, hard-working, cunning.
Waspclaw is Fallowface's mate, and thus Elkstride's brother-in-law, and Ivythorn and Honeystripe's father. He and Elkstride didn't get along too well at first, largely because Waspclaw doesn't get along well with much of anyone and Elkstride didn't care to deal with his temper, but once they found common ground in Fallowface, they began to try to get along for her sake, and eventually found that, after getting to know one another, they had no problem maintaining a somewhat gruff friendship. They're both somewhat forbidding to the rest of the clan, but both turn into absolute softies for the three ladies in their lives.made by tallsie of gossamer
Ivy- for her black and grey coloration, -thorn for her long black claws, and her talent for using them.
Characteristics: Quiet, observant, sardonic, rebellious, passionate, good leadership qualities, ambitious.
Ivythorn is Elkstride's niece, and until recently was his second apprentice as well, which has led to a very close relationship with her uncle - at times closer even than with her own parents. She's the darker of Fallowface's two kits, though not necessarily in a bad way; she's passionate and quick-witted, skilled for her age and with a talent for rallying others, all qualities she hopes to use to be a respected warrior, or maybe even a leader one day. However, she also has a rebellious streak a mile wide, and doesn't do well with authority, which has a habit of getting her in hot water. She's as sarcastic as her father, always ready with a sharp remark, but she doesn't tend to mean it as harshly as he does - that's really just her sense of humor, and she's more than once gotten Elkstride to crack a smile when few others can.made by tallsie of gossamer
Honey- for her yellow-orange patches, -stripe to emphasize her prefix. She feels insecure about this naming choice, because she feels like it means others don't think she has special qualities or talents.
Characteristics: Sweet, eager-to-please, insecure, determined, hard-working, naive.
Honeystripe is Elkstride's other niece, and one of the very few for which he fails to be an intimidating stoic, and becomes what amounts to a gigantic marshmallow. He loves and dotes on her the way he does Ivythorn, but he tends to be a little more protective of her because she's such a gentle sweetheart, and though she appreciates it, she gets that treatment from her whole family, and it doesn't help her self-esteem. She feels like she's not as talented as Ivythorn, that no one believes she has any special skills, and she works especially hard because she feels like she needs to prove herself. She doesn't just want to find a mate and become a queen the way her mother did, the way a lot of the prettier, more soft-hearted she-cats are expected to do - she wants to be great, and maybe tries a little too hard to be something she doesn't realize she already is.made by tallsie of gossamer
Aspen- for her silver tabby coat, -storm for her fierce, energetic personality.
Characteristics: Energetic, aggressive, loyal, reckless, charming, a good sense of humor.
Aspenstorm was Elkstride's first apprentice, assigned to him when he had just become a warrior, and it was a damned good thing he's so patient, because keeping her in line would have turned a lesser cat's every hair white. She defines the word 'dynamic', seemingly always in motion and ever-changing, and though she can be frustrating at times, she can also be very entertaining. She's a social butterfly and an entertainer, always ready with a smart remark, and she cares for her friends deeply, of which Elkstride is definitely one. Even now that she's no longer all that young, she still has an aggressively reckless spirit, and Elkstride tries to give her perspective and calm her down when he feels she's taking unnecessary risks. She's an honorary aunt to Ivythorn and Honeystripe, and Fallowface counts her as a sort of little sister.made by tallsie of gossamer
