Click to zoom, space to see clearer pics of the art An AU (alternate universe) where not only Rusty joins the Clans, but his sister Princess does too! I don’t have the whole plot line fully flushed out yet, but the basics are this: (A LOT OF WORDS NEXT) Almost all of Princess’s siblings had been adopted except her brother Filou. Their father, Jake, has started visiting them, because he wants to get to know them better. He tells them stories of his best friend- a great warrior called Talltail. He tells them all about what Talltail had told him about the four Clans and their ancestors, StarClan. Soon though, at around 4 months old, Princess gets adopted. She was always restless, and always wishing to feel the wind in her fur, but the wind was blocked off by the forest. She would visit her father to spend time with him and hear more stories about his adventures with Talltail. Eventually, about 1 month after she was adopted, she decided she wanted to join WindClan. So she went to her father, who told her how to find the moor even though he was hesitant about it. He cautioned her not to aggravate the Clans, even if they seemed unreasonable. And so she set out to find her future. When she got to the moor, she waited at the scent markers for a patrol, like her father had advised her to do. She requested to speak to Talltail, and the patrol exchanged uneasy glances. Why was such a young cat- not even old enough to be an apprentice- asking to see the leader of their Clan? And how did she know his former warrior name? So they brought her to him, and she told him that she was Jake’s daughter, and wanted to join WindClan. He accepted, but she needed to prove herself trustworthy in two moons before she was made an apprentice (that basically just consisted of her helping out around camp, cleaning bedding and stuff). When the moons were up, at about 7 months old, Princess took on the name Finchpaw (secretly in honor of Tallstar’s dead littermate). She became friends with Onepaw and a few other younger warriors, but one day, just over a month after she had joined, Brokenstar and the rest of ShadowClan chased them out of their territories. In the time after that, she got her warrior name, which I haven’t decided on yet. Names I’ve thought of so far consist of Finchblaze, Finchwing, Finchflight, Finchleap, Finchrun, and Finchspring (If you have any ideas or preferences please share). When Fireheart and Graystripe come to bring WindClan home, maybe Tallstar recognizes Fireheart as Jake’s son, and introduces them to each other, or maybe they remember each other. I haven’t figured out much of what would happen after this. ANYWAYS if you read all of this, thank you :D If you have any suggestions, go ahead and comment them!
Warriors by Erin Hunter Art & some of the AU | Me ( @Maiari_Flightless ) Drawing Program | Procreate scratch ruined the quality >:( ok so technically this art is of Finch meeting Fire, but I drew it in WindClan territory and so maybe this isn’t actually a scene in the books- the first time they meet would be when Fire brings WindClan home I’m just gonna call this WindClan’s Princess AU for now
