the seraph family ever (+ a loredump)

Instructions

QUALITY FIXED Yay Finished this a little bit ago so thought I’d show it off since I like yapping about and sharing my ocs :DD I wanted to make a piece that had all the characters apart what I call the Seraph family (mainly just call it that since he’s one of the characters with most bearing on the plot + he was made first aside from Shamrock but the determination that they’re stepsiblings was made after I made Seraph), so that’s how this came to be! This family is. so very messy and messed up but it’s mainly all Seraph’s fault ☠️ in a slightly abridged version of what happens (edit: this was NOT abridged I got too silly oops) : Seraph and Columbidae are born to Viperbark and Winter but they can’t exactly take care of them because they just aren’t ready for kits and they want to leave the clan / MothClan soon so they give the kits to Slitherdusk (Viper’s sister) and Conifer, who do want kits but aren’t able to have them without adoption for various reasons. Like a few weeks after their birth though, tensions in MothClan and between the neighboring clan / New CrystalClan begin to rise, and Slitherdusk isn’t liking where MothClan is heading so she decides to leave to NCC with Seraph and Columbidae. Unfortunatelyyy (or maybe fortunately since NCC is a super not good clan and worse than MothClan in almost every regard) she’s caught by Wren and her life subscription is cancelled. Timeskip like 4-ish moons later, Shamrock and Whistle join MothClan! Whistle was originally from SoCal and was friends with Shamrock’s parents, the three moving up to Montana after an earthquake and finding NCC. They lived there for a while, Shamrock’s parents were murked in a hit by Moth / NCC’s leader, Shamrock is adopted by Whistle as a sort of dy!ng with from her father, and Whistle realizes that NCC is a really not good clan so he moves to MothClan, mainly so Shamrock could have a better life. Upon moving there he meets Conifer who he becomes friends with, and eventually partners, making Whistle and Shamrock apart of the Seraph family now. Seraph ends up disliking Whistle and Shamrock with a PASSION for a few reasons, but the main two are because of jealousy since she sees them as ‘taking time away’ from him and Columbidae + Conifer, and because they’re non-MothClan and Seraph has a lot of prejudice against non-MothClanners, most of which stems from his mentor / Wren / MothClan’s literal leader :’)) Also just wanted to mention Columbidae!! In the image I mentioned she has mommy issues so I wanna elaborate on that. In short, she’s always been compared to Slitherdusk and cats always say that she’s ‘so much like her’, which isn’t too much of a bad thing without context since Slither wasn’t a bad cat or anything, but Columbidae has really mixed feelings on her mom since if Slitherdusk was able to go through with moving to NCC, then chances are that Columbidae would’ve become ‘The Chosen’, a rank in NCC made to pretty much manipulate whoever’s in it. Bad things have happened and continued to happen to chosens, taking cats like Cricketcry for example (put a pin in them btw they will become relevant), and Columbidae knew that bad things would’ve happened to her if she became one. Also did I mention that New CrystalClan is a cult Ok timeskip to the Yellowstone supervolcano errupting, the two clans are underground and in the tunnels, and Seraph just decides ‘ah whatever’ and murks Whistle, disguising the act as ‘self-defense’ and saying that Whistle tried attacking THEM for food, which was obviously not the case seeing that Seraph had zero defensive wounds and there was little struggle on Whistle’s side of things, but Wren didn’t care much since she didn’t care a lot for Whistle in the first place due to him originally being in NCC. Shamrock already disliked Seraph but she HAAAT3D him even more after this, along with Flamenco who was besties with Shamrock + Columbidae (also she may or may not be girlfriend with Columbidae but I haven’t decided on that yet!!). Seraph murked Whistle because they thought that if he was out of the picture, then Conifer would spend more time with her (also to preface Conifer wasn’t neglecting Seraph at all she was just being really jealous and petty), turns out, losing your qpp may make you go into a depression and spend most of your time with the cat you lost’s daughter because she’s grieving as well!! Seraph gets frustrated at this and decides to take Conifer off the census too, but uh oh Columbidae walks in on this!! Seraph convinces her to keep it a secret by threatening to hurt Shamrock, but he knew that she couldn’t be kept around for long, which is when Cricketcry my animal ever comes into this.
