i have a little hc that each bloodclan cat has a very brutal/tragic backstory - i like to think that bone for example was once a very well cared for designer cat who belonged to a wealthy family but was ignored and eventually neglected in favour of a newer, fancier cat and had to learn to fend for himself on the streets. while he wasn't particularly tough or street savvy yet, he was large and very used to getting his way and he quickly established a reputation as being pushy and domineering.
brick on the other hand i'd like to think was used as bait in dog fighting rings which is how they got their signiture missing patch of fur between their shoulders, but eventually escaped (maybe with the help of bone?) and began a new life on the streets
ok ok guys you’re probably sick of my mad wc theories rn but consider this: tigerclaw killed thistleclaw
like like i was thinking about how vague and intriguing thistleclaw’s death was and jokingly thought to myself “welllll if tigerclaw killed redtail on the riverclan border and blamed it on a riverclan cat who’s to say he hasn’t done it once before” LMAO. also imagine the irony that while his apprentice ravenpaw was there to witness redtail’s murder and therefore threaten the secrecy of it, tigerclaw’s previous apprentice DARKpaw was there at thistleclaw’s murder and aided tigerclaw in the cover-up. do you guys understand how juicy this sounds
got bored and did the 4 stages of bramblestar's possession as if it was a zombie infection lol
little personal wc design headcanon list cause i'm bored:
- clear sky has a very pale intense stare. like imagine steele from balto but take it up to 10 - looking as him is genuinely uncomfortable
- both leafpool and leafstar are torbies and have cute little ginger patches in their coats
- splashtail is a ragdoll
- darkstripe has a short tail
- a good chunk of windclan is either an oriental shorthair, a cornish rex or a devon rex
- despite being being mostly really fluffy, hollyleaf and lionblaze have much shorter fur on their tails, while for jayfeather it's the opposite
- nightcloud is one of the very few longhaired windclan cats (selkirk rex)
- darktail is a smoke maine coon
- lightleap is the only one of the tigerclones (specifically the brown tabbies/ones that strongly resemble him, not just his descendants) that is longhaired
- riverclan cats generally have a lot more body fat than the rest of the clans to keep them insulated during and after swimming
