Can you please change Butterswoop to Butterflyswoop, because it kinda really bugs me? Also, why are ALL of the FroSkulk like white, silvery colors? None of the tribes have that color, and Pine has dark fur, which means she can hunt in the woodlands really well. Also Pine will have kittens, with whoever you would like, but my choice, is, in Ash Tribe: Dustyheart, FroSkulk: Slip,Slick, or Sleek is the name, one of them is deceased, or Fang who is already in FroSkulk. But, you can choose!
Done!
It’s because they are Arctic foxes, and Arctic foxes have white fur.
As writer for the Frostbite Skulk, I’ll respond to this, though Ambi has answered most of your questions!
I’m not really sure if I want to add too many characters to the Skulk, since the cast size is already quite large! I know it’s sort of weird how the male to female ratio is, but I’m thinking of asking some people if I can change their foxe’s gender. I think Fang and Pine would make a nice pair!
For those curious, the gender ratio in female:male is:
11:2 (or three once Shaded submits the ‘king’ character!)
Please don’t give me more males, I’m planning to add mostly male OCs, and swap a couple of the genders! (I’ve started my own FroSkulk allegiance list, and the ratio’s looking better!)
When I first started this I just had to include arctic foxes in it, and I thought it would be cool to incorporate all the elements in the fox tribes. Arctic foxes with darker fur wouldn’t look right, but of course they’ll have darker fur in green leaf.
Okay, I promise that I’ll get the prologue done as soon as possible! The procrastination monster has been lurking in my brain for a while now, sorry ’bout that 😅
Anyways, I appreciate how this was not abandoned and how hard you’re all working on this! Thank you so much!
We still need to get some plot details fixed up, and I’ve noticed that a lot of the villains are doing their own thing. I mean, are all the villians going to do an evil plan but not be connected in some way? For me it just seems a bit chaotic, but I really love how developed these villians are! So hopefully we can fix that a bit:) Also, if you have any other things that you’re concerned about, please discuss it!
Now, what I really did this comment for is to assign editors to main writers! The editors will look over the chapters the main writers have written and fix anything, as well as suggestions.
Here’s what I’ve got!
Skye-Amberpaw
Panthi-Dusklight
Flamespirit-Me!
I also saw Shadeleap’s comment about becoming an editor, so that’s perfectly okay! This also means that the Rain Tribe spot is now open! Anyone can sign up for it, including the editors. I’ll switch things around if that’s the case!
I feel like me having Skypaw makes sense, seeing as her OC Nightshade will be playing such a massive role.
I can be Rain Tribe writer, though I would want someone to check my work, and then post it. And I thank you for letting me join in! I can be the Rain Tribe writer if YOU want! And also Dusky, I posted something on the One Cat page.
You’ll probably end up being the writer, since I don’t see any more people that want it! I think Skymist is pretty good with her role right now, and she did say if anybody else doesn’t want it she can take it!
Oki! Thanks! Who will be my co-writer? And what is the backstory for Rain Tribe? Also it makes sense that I’m Rain Tribe’s writer because I added most of the Rain Tribe’s characters!
Yep! You did add most of Rain Tribe’s characters, thx! Nobody really adds a lot of their characters. 😛
I don’t know who would help you with it, so probably one of the backup writers since we’ve run out of editors!
Any of the backup writers open for a job with Heatherwhisper?
Yippe!! I’m with Ambi!
(Warning you already: I’m not a genius of English grammar. Like, I know a decent part to make metaphors and all, but I make mistakes: ‘”Hey!”, she said’ used to be a mistake I did [still not sure how it works-] and “craved her claws” instead of “carved her claws” is something I wince at everytime I reread Tempest xD But I’ll try!)
With the villains I added, I tried to make them connected. Sparrow/Glacier is the Frostbite Skulk queen so that should make her connected, and with her backstory also to the Blossom tribe. Frozen and Shatter are also connected to both the Frostbite Skulk and Rain Tribe with the murders. Nightshade is connected to Ash Tribe and Emberstep specially ^^
I can take the Rain Tribe spot IF NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO 🙂
I think Nightshade is the main villain. The FroSkulk antagonists are mainly there for the exposition/rising action and will make readers suspect that the goal of the story is to detroy them. Then it’s sort of a plot twist when Nightshade and her poison is revealed to be far stronger than the Skulk.
Here’s my very vague plot ideas for my initial chapters (since I haven’t shared anything yet!)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dsYa1OhRZdfT1J_H7sBFlwV0QsINCY5CjqT5X2SrrhA/edit
Those thoughts are really amazing! I’m really excited to hear about Shadow, my writer’s block brain right now is thinking: “Wow how did you do that without crushing your head into a wall??”
Also, I’m not sure how immigration policies relate to Shadow 😂 /jk
Haha the immigration thing was for school. Now you might have a vague idea where I live 😛
I’m glad you like where I’m going with Shadow, though! I’m about 1k into my first chapter, and I’ll share it when I’m done! I seriously relate to the writing block tho – I’ve had a lot of it with my new story!
I love this!!
Super excited for the prologue!
Hey Shadedpaw, I got an idea! I didn’t see you add Rockpaw’s mother, and I thought it would be cool for Rockpaw to visit Amberstar in the prologue, as her son. He’d deliver the prophecy to her, and then Amberstar would join him in StarClan. Is that okay with you?
Also, Skye, I was writing the description of Nightshade and then all of a sudden I was describing her with rotten, bloody wings. I thought it was like that as a punishment from Star Tribe, or something like that. Would you like that removed, if you just want her without wings?
Examples of the above in the doc!
Awesome idea, but that actually means Darkstar and Amberstar, who are both leaders, are mates. Is that OK with you?
Yep! I realized that just after I wrote that part of the prologue, so I changed Amberstar from being old to young, so that Darkstar would’ve been her deputy before she died.
OK. Was Amberstar leader of the Ash Trobe, and not the Blossom Tribe?
She was leader of Ash Tribe!
Alright. So Pounceflame was Darkstar’s first deputy, and Stagpounce was his third?
Yes, I think so!
Oh… Sorry, Ambi! But is it OK if Duskgaze could be Darkstar’s first deputy, and Pounceflame his second?
Sure… but that would mean that Darkstar would’ve had four deputies in not a long amount of time!
Maybe the third deputy, who you haven’t provided a name for, retired early.
The rotten wings are super cool! There could be scars on them for something and she convinces Emberstep&Crew that they’re because she had to “survive by herself”, differently than “Wild/Clan cats”.
Character Name: Spireshadow
Appearance(BlossomClan are in the autumn kind of colors, Ash Tribe darker colors, and so on): Thin jet-black dog fox with a reddish blaze on his forehead, striking black wings, a twisted forepaw, and hollow orange eyes
Tribe(or list the Frostbite Skulk if they’re in there): Frostbite Skulk (Formerly of the Ash Tribe)
Fox picture that looks similar to their appreance? Sorry! I don’t have time to look for any!
Family, optional:
Father: Duskgaze (Black dog-fox with reddish wings and amber eyes)
Mother: Tansyfur (Light brown and white tabby she-fox with white wings, formerly of the Rain Tribe)
Stepfather: Rootstorm (Yellow and grey dog-fox with golden wings, Rain Tribe)
Anything else? So the Frostbite Skulk’s pelt colours are usually white or blueish… Maybe Spireshadow could have too many scars and patches of torn fur, so that only small sections of his fur show?
I’ll post the backstory in a separate comment. It’s too long to be in this one.
Part 1 (Will post other parts later.)
Spirepup was born just before Rockpaw died, and Darkstar was grieving very much when Spirepup was old enough to be an apprentice. After Rockpaw’s death, Darkstar was very overprotective of cats with disabilities, and he refused to make Spirepup an apprentice until he was 8 moons old. Thankfully, Spirepup’s father, who was the deputy of the Ash Tribe, convinces that Spirepup deserved to be an apprentice, and that it will be no use to make him stay as a pup. Darkstar, however, still gave Spirepaw ‘special treat’ by making his apprenticeship go really slowly, so Spirepaw had to train twice as long as normal apprentices. After Spirepaw received the name Spireshadow, he was fed up with the special treatment, and tried to make himself look very fierce, so he sometimes started border battles on purpose, to get the Senior Warriors and Darkstar to notice his good battle skill, but that did the oppositte effect to Darkstar. (Let’s say there were only 1 or 2 apprentices in that time) Darkstar began to make Spireshadow do apprentice tasks instead of warrior duties like hunting and patrolling. And even though it was only a few moons after Spireshadow became a warrior, Darkstar said it was time for him to retire, and he kept asking that even though Spireshadow refused. Furthermore, this time was the time when Spireshadow’s close family got broken up. This family, although only consisted of 3 members, loved each other very dearly, but Spireshadow’s father, Duskgaze, died of an unknown sickness(Or maybe Nightshade’s poison 😮 ) that leaf-bare. Spireshadow’s mother, Tansyfur, who never liked the Ash Tribe, goes back to the Rain Tribe without even telling her son. Furious with Darkstar and having no kin left in the Tribe anymore, Spireshadow planned a rebellion with fellow disabled cats. But due to the small number of supporters, Spireshadow lost, and as punish ment, he was forced to retire.
I’d be extra careful so it doesn’t come out as capacitist, but the story is awesome ^^
Also, isn’t it funny that both king and queen of the Frostbite Skulk descend from the Clans? I found that a cool coincidence/paralel!
Wow, I love Spirshadow’s backstory! Very original, I can’t wait to see him in Frostbite Skulk when Dusklight writes her chapter.
Please be careful for it not to come out as capacitist (though I know it’s not what you meant) ^^
That’s a really good backstory (and name)!
What’s a capaticist? I searched it up but all the results just said capitalism and stuff like that.
Same…
Oh geez ;w; Sorry!! It’s probably something else in English.
It’s prejudice against disabled people and people with disorders (I really hope that’s how it is in English-)
Sorry for the confusion!
Do you speak a different language, then? I’ve always wondered how everyone can speak the same language here while this is accessible to a lot of different-language countries.
Anyways, that’s probably ableism in English, now that makes a lot more sense!
YES that’s the word!! Sorry 😅
The prologue is awesome! Quick question- how would we reveal the prophecy? They are normally revealed in the prologue. In my next chapter, I could have Emberstep go to the Moonthing qnd and recieve it, or another cat could get it in a dream.
I didn’t know if anyone would get what I meant, but here’s what I put down for how we could reveal it in the doc…
Rockpaw looked frightened. Amberstar didn’t like this. “What is it?”
Rockpaw closed his eyes, and then spoke in a voice that was not his own.
“Prophecy??”
The bolded words were supposed to mean what the prophecy was, I just didn’t know what we would say for the prophecy 😅
Ohhhhhhhhhh
A path of poison will light the way through dark storms…
Idk, best I’ve got rn
Shadedpaw, I have an idea for a piece of art you can draw for the prologue!
You can either draw fox paws stained with deathberries(which will probably be used for Chapter One) OR Nightshade surrounded by her “beloved” nightshade plants!
You can take as much time as you’d like! 🙂
Thanks, Bree! I’ll get started as soon as I can!
Hi everyone! Since I’m the writer for the Frostbite skulk, I thought I’d give a little update, and ask some questions!
Here’s some lore for the Skulk!! The Frostbite skulk is meant to hate the tribes. They were originally a tribe, but were driven out, partially because they grew too aggressive, but also because the tribes threw them out when times got tough, claiming the white foxes were too ‘different.’
Sandi, you mentioned that you were adding characters to the Skulk such as Angel. Would you consider telling me more about these characters. I believe Aurora, Lapis, Feather, Sharp, Winter and Nova are also among them (they might be someone’s OCs littermates, though 😅). The only issue with these guys is that Skye added a character named Winter already, and Skye gave Shatter a mate (named Frozen)!
I just have one issue with the way my story is going right now: the coat colours in the Skulk. More than 1/3 of the Skulk don’t even have a white coat, many because they are from the tribes! Not to mention, the two leaders of the Skulk, are winged foxes, one from the tribes, which the Skulk members are supposed to hate. Shaded, I’m not sure if Spireshadow kept his wings, or if he lost them, but I know Glacier has hers!
1/2
Fang and Nova are Crescent’s littermates. They helped her become one of the best fighters and hunters in the Skulk, because she (and Fang) was bullied as a pup because of her amber eyes. (I’m guessing Pine has orange eyes because he was formerly from Ash Tribe.) Her family had always had blue or gray eyes, no matter what shade. But Fang and Crescent somehow got amber. I didn’t come around giving Fang and Nova a form, but I think Sandi already put them in! If you want a form, just alert me in a reply and I’ll make one! No worries! 😀 You know, I think I might do one even if you say you don’t need one /lh 😛
Thank you for explaining!
Glacier doesn’t have hers – she wasn’t from the Clans, so unless the Skulk has winsg, she doesn’t ^^ I thought they did, tah’ts why I added.
Sorry 😅 I just read this comment, and thought that she somehow had wings!
https://blogclan.katecary.co.uk/screenshot-2020-01-29-at-5-14-29-pm-png/comment-page-3/#comment-1587853
Aurora and Lapis are Flurry’s parents. they also had a son, but he died shortly after birth, and they only wanted a dog-fox, so they are mean to Flurry and tell her that they wish she was the one to die. Flurry also has a friend, Iris, who I added on the previous page
I also gave Aurora and Lapis’ descriptions on page 5, with more characters on page 3 and their descriptions also on page 5 🙂
Thanks and sorry about that 😅
Having people submit over 20 OCs for the Skulk has left me a little overwhelmed. But thanks for telling me where to find the info!
Sharp is my OC, his form got buried and is on page 6. 🙂
Thanks!
Just a reminder that I’m not trying to offend anyone, I’m just curious and have a few questions, if you guys don’t mind!
Shaded: how did Spireshadow rise to power in the Skulk? Did he keep his name? Why do the arctic foxes follow him as their leader? How long as he been with the Skulk? Thanks!!
Skye: How long has Glacier been with the Skulk? Around how old is she? Thank you! Ps. I love all the OCs you added to the Skulk!
Sandi: Do you have specific backstories for your foxes? And I’d love to know more about Angel, since you’ve mentioned her a couple times!
Beyond that, my story is going really well! All the OCs are awesome, and I’m so happy to have the opportunity to collaborate with all you awesome people! One thing I’m considering is to make a rank above the King and Queen, taken by some sort of old fox who fuels the fox’s resentment towards the tribes (just since the King and Queen aren’t arctic foxes)
The narrative I was planning to go for with my character, Shadow. He’s a dark grey fox (permanently has the Arctic fox’s greenleaf pelt). My thought was that there would be some suspicion with regards to him because of this, and that the Skulk would wage a war on the tribes! I have a doc with more info linked in a comment above!

Hi, Dusklight! I’m sorry if I gave you any inconvenience by nit giving enough detail about Spireshadow’s relationship with the Skulk. I’ll mention that in Backstory Part 2. But I’ll answer your questions right now.
How did Spireshadow rise to power in the Skulk? Sorry. This is going to be quite long, so I’ll have to post it on Part 2. I’ll post it as quickly as I can.
Did he keep his name? No, no one in the Frostbite Skulk knows of his real name or past. Not even Pine(Spireshadow joined before Pine.). Everyone used to call him ‘The Killer’, and now ‘The King’.
Why do the arctic foxes follow him as their leader? Also mentioned in Pt 2. Sorry.
How long as he been with the Skulk? He spent most of his life in the Skulk. He left as a young warrior, and he’s about 6 or 7 years old now.
Thanks! You gave me no inconvenience at all – I find asking questions really helpful in understanding the motives of characters!! I hope my asking questions didn’t give you any inconvenience!
Glacier was old enough to have cubs when she joined the Skulk, so I’m betting she’s quite old now. Around 122 moons or smt? Thanks!

When I first had the idea for A Poisonous Path, Angel was the first character I thought of. I was orignially going to write the Frostbite Skulk and make her the POV, but I have no experience in writing about rogues so I decided I would leave that to someone more experienced. Angel had a very vague backstory at the time, so I’ve added in some more details…
Angel was born on a cold winter night alongside her still-born littermates. Her mother, Dew, was very weakened from the birth and could barely support her only child, but she worked hard to provide enough food for herself so she could be able to nurse Angel.
Dew’s mate had vicously turned his back on her when she found out she was expecting, so she was forced to care for herself on her own. Because of this, and since her father also left her when she was young, Dew had a strong distrust of dog-foxes. She sheltered her and Angel in a burrow under trees while she kept watch, and whenever she caught just a whiff of dog-fox she would relocate her den. This happened so many times, and Angel grew up listening to her mother tell stories about vicious dog-foxes tearing up the forest, with their loyal vixens helping them.
2/2
Because of this, Angel learned that she should trust no fox, and will only provide for herself.
Sadly, Dew passed away when Angel became eight moons, and she struggled to stay alive. One night, Angel was searching for food when one of Frostbite Skulk found her. They took her to her camp and she was put in the Frosty Paws den, where she was bullied. Angel, however, instead of becoming scared and afraid, she became overly confident and viciously attacked anyone who dared question her. She excelled in training and became top-notch at everything, and pretty soon everyone knew to not anger her at all.
Angel, as you might have known, was now contradictory to her name. She now lives in Frostbite Skulk, proud of her group and a loathing, horrible hate for the Tribes. Any Tribe fox that crosses her path will be walking a path to Star Tribe.
Angel trusts other foxes a little bit now, since she does love Frostbite Skulk and believes that they are right in destroying the Tribes.
She still remembers what her mother said about providing for herself, so she is a little seperate from the group.
I don’t know whether she’ll ever become a good fox, but in the meantime she’ll become as cold and fierce as ever. I know that in Marb’s picture of her she looked shy and nice, but when making this backstory I changed my mind, since I couldn’t think of a good enough backstory for that.
Also, more information will come about the Blossom Tribe POV soon! I’m still trying to figure out some things about her.
Thanks! I really needed a character like her!! So many of the froskulk guys are either bloodthirsty murderers or compassionate, friendly cats, so it’s nice to have some ones who are in between!
Could someone send me the link to the prologue? (Also if any of your chapters need editing I can pitch in a bit :)))
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c93DbjGGQFKS9la3h6FKaqzq2SknRKM0OmYLNi-r-eI/edit?usp=sharing
Here you go!
Please suggest anything, I rushed the prologue a bit 😅
(Also, moddos, can you see if my comments on Angel went to spam? It’s been a while since I posted them)
Modded!
Thanks Embix!
I don’t think Rossignol is included in the allegiances for the FroSkulk(might be wrong tho) other than that grammar and stuff for the prologue looks a-okay.

I hope you don’t mind that I edited the document to change my image! The one I added had green eyes 🙂
I don’t mind! I looked at editing history and saw it, but it was okay! I remember you saying something about using this picture instead a while back, but I couldn’t find where you said it, sorry 😅
