How did Plumpaw end up with blue ticking?

First she gets a ticking gene from her momma, and then both her mum and dad has dilute relatives (Sandstorm and Ferncloud) so both of them have the genes for blue too, which is what Plume got~

Thank you very much, and yes the blue-cream combination is what makes me such a sucker for blue ticked tabbies. <3 And so true indeed, hehe~

I do like the idea of Squirrelflight having two mates - with Shrew and White being more about healing (after what Ashfur did to her) and their kits being accidents, but are just as loved and cherished as Dovewing and Ivypool.
To be honest, I feel like Flame and Plume would be better siblings than Alder (whiny) and Spark (smartass).
Does Plume and Holly still duke it out on who is the fluffiest she-cat in the Clan?

Exactly~ I do not agree with the idea that Squirrel should -have- to settle for Bramble when it is obvious her hurt reaches too deep to allow her to pretend they can still be happy together. But it is just like the Erins that, to always favour the male characters, who may take as many mates as they like, while the girls will only ever have the one, and usually end up mourning/missing him if they break up while he remains unaffected.
Hehe, but thank you, they have been tweaked specially to be a good pair of sibs so that makes me glad.
But yes of course, they've got their own private little rivalry going on there~ uvo

Not to mention that the she-cat is the one who suffers the most in relationships who have gone sour and/or are abusive. I find it kind of laughable that Vicky defends Bramble x Squirrel, but she was the one who ruined their relationship in the first place. But you are very true...as in the fact that Dovewing still has a shoddy love life and now Ivypool has to be the jealous third wheel?
I feel so bad for not realizing the true sexism in the novels, for not realizing that she-cats have certain things that are not 'expected of them' but what they do that is very much the same in every scenario. Like if a kit or young cat is injured/killed, then their mother breaks down into a wailing machine while the daddy is quiet and the rock of the two...I know this is expected, but Foxstorm has a good point in that almost every molly in this position acts this way.
And they would be a beautiful set you know (colorful ). You have blue ticked Plume, you have Flame (whose design I can't remember off the top of my head), then you have albino Dandelion who sports a pure white coat, and then blue Juniper (or Junebug as I like to call him for no apparent reason XD). That is actually a very beautiful set.
But would being albino affect Dandelion's chances of having a family? You haven't quite mentioned anything for Icecloud, but if Dandelionfur ended up getting cancer and is frail of health, isn't Icecloud the same or will end up being the same later on?
Kind of hope not, because I decided that Dandelion will be the mate of Hailpaw (thus the lines of Firestar, Tigerstar, and Graystripe get to finally blend into one).

Yep. It's always the she-cats who have to bear the brunt of the matter, while the toms go clear of any rebuffs. It's sick to think that all the authors involved here are women, yet from the very start they have been putting down their own gender in their works, on purpose. And yeah where they get it from that Ivypool should be so jealous in the first place I have no idea; I mean, I get that Ivy felt ignored in their family, but that she would hold grudges like this?? Unbelievable. There's no such thing as character growth here, none at all.
Yes, that is annoying. Like, I'm not saying one shouldn't let a mother act as a mother at all when her child is taken from her in any kind of unfortunate manner, but some diversity would have been interesting, instead of the standard "distressed mother and emotionless father" which is the Erins' only recipe for these sorts of things. Where is the angry mother? Where is the mother who refuses to believe the truth and gets delusional for a while, imagining her child is still alive? Where's the mother who isn't able to care as much as she should, and only shrugs when her kitten dies? They don't exist in this series.
Indeed they would, a lot of fancy colourings, that~ Junebug that's adorable x'D
Well, not necessarily. Her frail health would probably impact her fertility and ability to bear healthy offspring to term, but in and of itself the albinism wouldn't have a direct impact; it's more its effects that can have unfortunate results for her, a bigger chance of aborting/losing her litter, and of course the health of the offspring is dependent a bit on the mother's condition. But she shouldn't be completely infertile as a result, and even after she gets cancer she can still nurse her children, since med cats can't really use chemo on her at any rate. If you focus on her bad health my advice would be that she'd probably only be able to bear that single litter, and would likely end up dying pretty early.
And yes, the albinism will probably play its part on WR-Icecloud, even though we haven't decided to what extent. The trick to the matter is that while albino cats, lacking completely in pigments, have the largest chance of getting skin cancer, the percentage is still rather high among all white cats, because of their fur colour. So while WR-Icecloud and Dandelion are the most at risk, cats such as Cloudtail are also more likely to contract it. White cats also tend to get sunburns on the shell of their ears, if that explains things better.

To be honest, Ivypool knows more about Tigerheart than Dovewing does, but I thought they had that showdown in Fading Echoes and it was all said and done. But of course, the Erins had to kill off Ivypool's potential love interests to get this stupid reaction...poor Toadstep, he didn't deserve to go out like that.
I recall somebody doing a picture of Tawnypelt and Rowanstar mourning Flametail's death, just being her character...I kind of imagine that Tawnypelt would be the kind of mother that you mention (the one who is unable to accept it and tries to act like Flametail is still alive and in the MC den).
XD Dandy and Junebug, just saying their names like that is adorable (unlike Spark and Alder...heck saying their names together seem kind of flat).
I may be a bit biased, but I think I want to try keeping Dandy alive as long as I possibly can, if only because she was given so little attention (and still has no design).
Are you considering giving Ferncloud white spotting?

Yeah so did I, I mean Ivy didn't develop anything for Tiger except what seemed to be slight contempt over his tendency for convenient lies, so this new plot follow-up just... ughhh I mean I don't care about Tiger or Dove for crying out loud and yet they're again, painting their main characters as someone you have to -pity- somehow. -.-
Yah, at least some diversity, some grudges or anything that isn't just a "sad mother figure" would've been interesting, honestly. And yes, those nicknames chime so cute compared to Spark and Alder LOL.
Aye, she'd deserve that I think, everything considered. And besides she's fast turning so a-dorable too. u3u
Nope~ It'll be something else, something these RE-designs feature more of. x3

Ahhh I love all four of these guys :3
Will you be doing any other OCs in the future? Or will you only be showcasing your OCs spawned from your personal headcanons?
