Quietstar’s leader ceremony:

Mellowswipe lead Quietsnap across the plains to the Starfalls, a waterfall in the north of MoonClan’s territory. They passed a MoonClan patrol on their way which consisted of the MoonClan deputy, Hillear, and two warriors, Elmpelt and Quailstorm. Hillear nodded respectfully but was met with a hiss from Quietsnap. The cats continued on their way. When the pair reached the Starfalls, Quietsnap went under alone, into the cave where he would meet with his starry ancestors. There he met Quickpaw who gave him a life for justice, Silentswirl who gave him a life for trusting others, Brightmask who gave him a life for honesty, Patchtounge who gave him a life for wisdom, Vixensplash who gave him a life for friendship, Dognose who gave him a life for freedom, Streamkit who gave him a life for adventure, and Mosspool who gave him a life for forgiveness. The final cat to step forward was not who he had expected, Shinestar, but instead a large tom who oozed black pus, his claws out he marched towards Quietsnap, introducing himself as Yewslash. This odd cat gave him a life for power over others. With that, Quietstar stepped back into reality, he gave a wide grin, his new name echoing in his ears.

Quietstar’s leadership:

Quietstar was known to be a cruel cat, bloodthirsty and warmongering. His cocky confidence led his Clan down a dark path, decimating relations with their fellow Clans. One day, there was an uprising. His deputy and trusted advisor, Bleakfang, staged a coup and overthrew the wily old dictator. With Quietstar banished, Bleakstar took over, vowing to be the better cat and lead his Clan to a brighter future.

Bleakstar’s leader ceremony:

Mellowswipe, once again, led the way for soon to be leader, Bleakfang. They were going to the Starfalls. This was the night. The night that would change Bleakfang’s life forever. Bleakfang’s nerves were getting the better of him and he made his way under the Starfalls and into the cave to receive his nine lives. When he did so, he felt a warming presence around him, like it might have been a relative or a close friend reaching out to him from Silverpelt. And then he saw her. His littermate who had died as an apprentice. Tears filled his eyes. “Tawnypaw… is that you?” The young she-cat replied with a smile, “Of course, who else would it be, silly?” She then leapt up and touched her nose to his, giving him a life for family. It was then that another cat came along, Gorsebrush, the old medicine cat gave him a life for endurance. Then it was Tansyspeckle’s turn, giving him a life for faith. Pebblenose then gave him a life for curiosity, the young warrior smiled as he made his way back into the stars. Batleap then gave him a life for farsightedness, noting that the Clan would be under much better care with his leadership. Willowstream gave the soon to be leader a life for mercy, may he be compassionate when he fights. Mouseflight then gave him a life for selflessness. After her, Rocktooth gave him a life for righteousness. And the a starry cat he had only heard of in stories, Shinestar, gave him a life for wisdom, may he use it well. He awoke with his new name, Bleakstar in his ears and great plans for his Clan. When Bleakstar returned to camp, he named Darkstep as his new deputy.

Bleakstar’s leadership:

Under their new leader, AshClan flourished. They rebuilt relationships with their neighbouring Clans and fostered new friendships with Clan cats and outsiders alike. There was a large influx of new members under Bleakstar’s rule. Many loners came seeking shelter, as well as kittypets seeking a new and more exciting life. Bleakstar’s rule was one of peace and tranquility. The Clan prospered and he couldn’t be happier to lead. His trusted deputy, Darkstep, retired to the elders den where he spent the rest of his days before passing of old age, Fuchsiasnarl being given the role of deputy in his stead.

Fuchsiastar’s leader ceremony:

After the banishment of Mellowswipe, who had been in cahoots with the exiled former leader Quietstar, the Clan scrambled for a new medicine cat. Frostpaw was still an apprentice and was down a mentor. The Clan was in disarray. Quickly, and despite his lack of training, Frostpaw was named Frostjay and became AshClan’s new medicine cat. With that sorted, Frostjay took Fuchsiasnarl to the Starfalls. As soon as he shut his eyes, a small, starry kit bounded up to him. “I’m Beetlekit!” he announced, “I’m here to give you a life for courage!” He smiled sheepishly before bouncing off once again. Next came an older cat, a Clanmate who had passed over to StarClan when he was only young - Cinderleg. She touched her nose to his head, giving him a life for trusting others. Next came a cat he remembered, Bleakstar’s first deputy, Darkstep. Fuchsiasnarl purred loudly as he gave him a life for determination. Then it was a cat he had surely seen before, though he blanked on when and where. They introduced themself to be Rabbitpaw and that jogged his memory - they had trained together long ago. Fuchsiasnarl gave his deceased former denmate a comforting lick on their star-coated head, them then giving him a life for freedom, smiling softly before they faded back into the stars. Soon after came Daisyrain, the queen who had cared for him through his kithood. He ran to meet her and buried his head in her starry pelt. She gave him several gentle licks before granting him his fifth life for love. Next came an elderly she-cat who introduced herself as Cariboushiver, she smiled as she gave him a life for caring for the Clan. As she faded back, a young warrior approached, her name was Swiftfoot, though that didn’t help Fuchsiasnarl recognise her, she told him that she was from a time long before StarClan had considered even his grandparents. He bowed his head solemnly as a life for remembrance rushed through him. Next came an old friend of his, a cat though not of a Clan. “Barney! It’s been so long!” Fuchsiasnarl would say as the speckled kittypet padded out of the starry ranks, “I never expected to see you again - especially not here.” he looked quizzically at his friend. “You gave me belief in StarClan, and that was enough for them to accept me.” Barney smiled, “I’m here to give you your eighth life, a life for kindness to outsiders.” he said, touching his nose to his dear friend’s head, “I know you’ll use it well.” As Barney slipped back into the stars, Bleakstar emerged, he looked as strong and wise as he ever did. He bent down to give Fuchsiasnarl his final life, a life for strength in the face of hardship. And, with that, Fuchsiastar awoke with a new name and great responsibilities. He and Frostjay made their way home, Fuchsiastar making the rather odd decision to appoint the young tom, Ripplerunner, as his deputy.

Fuchsiastar’s leadership:

Fuchsiastar was a kind and caring leader, under him, like his predecessor, AshClan grew, as did the trust the other Clans had in them. It was with Fuchsiastar as their leader that a new naming rule was introduced, cycling through the alphabet, each moon, all kits born would share the beginning letter of their names, this was to help with their leader’s failing memory ever since the accident. This way, he would know which kits were to be made apprentices, and which apprentices warriors without too much strain on his mind. Fuchsiastar elected to have this start at the letter S, in honour of the Stars.
