Back again with Genetically Accurate families!! This gonna be a daily thing or...? Today we have Bramblestar's family. First we start with Goldenflower's family. Harepounce and Stagleap are already at the top of their family trees, so they retain their brown and grey tabby fur. Since neither of her parents have white spotting, One-eye can no longer be a pure white she-cat. Instead, she's a gray tabby like her father. Her sister Speckletail inherits her brown fur from Harepounce and her tabby pattern from Stagleap. Smallear keeps his canon design as a gray tom, as he is the top of his tree. Mistlekit, SmallSpeckle's daughter, is described as a dark tabby she-cat; that can be grey or brown. Since mollies inherit genes from both of their parents, Mistlekit becomes a dark grey tabby. She isn't a grey/pale grey like Smallear because Speckletail doesn't carry the dilute gene. Like One-eye, Snowkit cannot be a pure white cat. He also cannot have blue eyes, as his parents both have warm eyes. Don't worry though, he can still be deaf. Lionheart, like Snowkit (and all other toms) can only inherit his genes from his mother, so he also becomes a brown tabby. And now for Goldenflower, the molly of the hour. In order to allow Brambleclaw to retain his brown tabby fur, Goldenflower is a brown tabby. This is actually pretty genetically correct since Speckletail is a brown tabby. And now for Tigerstar's side. We have to start with Oakstar and Sweetbriar, who are Tigerstar's grandparents. I probably could have included Pinestar's half-siblings, Frecklewish and Birchface, but I forgot. Oakstar and Sweetbriar keep their canonical designs since we have no parents to base them off. Pinestar can only get his genes from his mother, and since Sweetbriar does not carry the red gene, Pinestar cannot be ginger. Instead, he's a brown tabby with about 40% white spotting. Since we already did Leopardfoot and her family in Sandstorm's tree, we move on to Leopardfoot's kits. Mistkit is first. Her canonical design is a gray she-cat, but since both her parents are tabbies, she has to have a tabby pelt. She also gains white spotting from her father. Nightkit, like Leopardfoot, is a tortoiseshell, but she's a couple shades lighter. She also inherits her father's green eyes instead of her mother's warm ones. Last but certainly not least, Tigerstar. Tigerstar cannot be a brown cat. He does NOT get the gene from his father allowing him to be a chocolate tabby. If Leopardfoot was a chocolate tortie, then he COULD be, but she's not. She's a BLACK tortie. For the sake of Tawnypelt, and her kits, Tigerstar inherits ginger tabby fur and 50% white spotting (I don't think the white spotting gene is linked directly to gender). Moving on to Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost's families, Sasha is at the top of her family tree. However, her design is not genetically correct; she'd have to be a colourpoint or a Turkish Van, and we aren't doing breeds. Mothwing gets all of her colors from her father, staying close to her canon design. I mean, she COULD be a tortie, but that's not how I roll. Tadpole, isn't as lucky as Mothwing. There's just no way for him to be a black cat. Tigerstar is ginger, and Sasha is a chocolate colourpoint, so Tadpole inherits his mother's chocolate colour. Hawkfrost gets his blue eyes from his mother, and I paled the colour to icy blue. He is callled HawkFROST after all. Hawkfrost is a chocolate cat like Tadpole, but he's a tabby like Tigerstar. We DO need him and Brambleclaw to look similar. Speaking of Brambleclaw, his sister Tawnypelt gets a calico tabby pelt. Remember, torties have NO WHITE. Tawnypelt inherits her red fur from Tigerstar and her brown fur from Goldenflower. Finally, it's time for Brambleclaw. He's basically canon, but with no white spotting to make him more like Hawkfrost. And there you go! Bramblestar's genetically accurate family! :D
