** Prepare for many unexpected existences and deaths of characters, not all of which belong to me '^-^ ** The Yellowstar AU explores the possibility of how events could've been different had Yellowtail's plan of killing her brother Needlestrike had succeeded, and she became the malicious leader of Fernclan instead of him. It starts with young Yellow arriving at camp, escorted by another warrior. Needlepaw screeches in fury, but Pebblestar allows her to join the clan anyways. She later ambushes her brother during a battle and dispatches him, becoming the Queen Of Peasants. At her first gathering she allies with Sleekstar and the rest of Rainclan in an effort to take down Burrowclan, and eventually, Cloverclan as well. Scorchpelt, however, speaks out against this and is promptly exiled. Scarletflame later brings Snakekit to the camp, and is openly accused by her sister Briarthorn for her betrayal. Yellowstar asks her if she cares for the kit, to which she replies that she does not. But when Yellowstar lunges for Snakekit, Scarletflame blocks her path and is killed by her claws. Yellowstar takes Snakekit to be trained under her claw. Shardclaw, stricken by the death of his sister, suddenly yowls in rage against Yellowstar. The leader sends Briarthorn to fight him, and he barely escapes the camp with his life. (The Animatic ends here) In the events following, Briarthorn is made deputy and Burrowclan is driven out with few survivors. Snakepaw is trained under Yellowstar, but he soon sustains a severe injury and is exiled. After many moons of Cloverclan being a constant thorn in her side, Yellowstar makes plans to wipe them out at the next Gathering. Upon arriving, however, Moonstar reveals a little plot of her own. Not only does she have Scorchpelt, Shardclaw, and Snakefang on her side, but also a fair amount of rogues as well. Yellowstar suddenly loses composure, and Scorchpelt attacks her. Yellowstar is able to land a killing blow on the tom, but is quickly overtaken by Snakefang. Her former apprentice shows no mercy. Because of Yellowstar's ruthless actions, she was never able to obtain nine lives. She wakes in Starclan, where Needlestrike is waiting to banish her last remnants of existence. In the end, Shardclaw defeats Briarthorn, taking his place as Fernclan's next leader. Snakefang is made the new deputy of Fernclan. Eclipseheart manages to win control of Rainclan. Moonstar and Voletooth get into a fight neither of them can win, leaving Gorsestar to take her place as Cloverclan's next leader. The remaining three clans reunite under Shardstar, Gorsestar, and Eclipsestar. And a new and unexplored era begins.
A project which I had inspiration for once. Unfortunately inspiration doesn't last long enough to actually fully finish anything :'P I decided to share what I have, along with the AU summary in case anyone wanted to build off of that concept. I don't have any plans to continue at this time. -- Credits -- Program Used - Krita Music - Prom Queen by Molly Kate Kestner Characters (in order of appearance/mention) Yellowstar - @sweetiesrider Pebblestar - NPC Needlestrike/star - @Tycicle Moonstar - @Moonshadow_ Sleekstar - @-Moonleaf Scorchpelt - @-Scorchpelt- Scarletflame - @sweetiesrider Snakekit/paw/fang - @sweetiesrider Briarthorn - @sweetiesrider Shardclaw - @sweetiesrider / @Tycicle Eclipseheart - @sweetiesrider Voletooth - @Moonshadow_ Gorsekit/star - @Moonshadow_
