Squirrelflight's my favourite, the next post is probably gonna be the mandatory fire scene fanart as a comic strip. From the wiki:
Squirrelflight is a dark ginger she-cat with one white paw, a squirrel-like bushy tail, and green eyes.
1. Marks:
She's dark ginger so i took the darker color from Firestar's pelt and just saturated them a bit. She has a big fluffy mane around her neck with a paler heart in the middle, inherited from Firestar. She gets her white nose, white tail tip, a white paw from him as well.
She gets her ear tufts and her white cheeks from Sandstorm. That wasn't really enough for me, so i gave her beige socks on her back legs and extended the beige on her tail a little to replicate sandstorm's tail marking.
Both Firestar and Sandstorm have paler and darker eyebrows respectively, so this kinda mutates onto Squirrel, she has orange eyebrows and this colour isn't presented anywhere else on her design.
I gave her Firestar's eye make-up looking mark - it's basically just a more orange-y colour on her eyelid.
She's just described as a dark ginger cat in the books but I gave her some stripes in the fire-like mark on her shoulder so she looks a little bit more like Sandstorm cause she kinda looked like a copy of her father.
2. Build
Firestar is super small for a clan cat (cause....hes not one) so im just gonna say that's where she gets the tiny gene. I also gave her his tiny paws and big bushy tail, just a bit bigger.
Both her parents have something of a mane and it's turned to the max with Squirrel - she has a lotta fluff around her neck and i like to think that when she gets flustered or embarrassed, she can hide her whole head in there and there's just her little ear tufts poking out.
It doesn't really show, cos she's kinda facing us and looking away, but she has a bit of Firestar's domestic cat features! her forehead blends pretty smoothly with her nose and her nose itself is tiny and more heart-shaped.
Next is Leafpool! i'll have her up tomorrow morning
