We have a few main plots going on. The Burntstar's Fanclub plot is slowly falling into place as the involved kits are starting to be apprenticed and learn more about their idol to-be.
BeachClan is on the verge of attacking FrostClan. What will happen to the snowfaring cats if their sand-dwelling rivals succeed in their offensive? And what would this mean for the other clans?
AquaClan is still reeling from the destruction of their entire territory in a forest fire. However, spring is on the way, so the new shoots of green poking through the ash may finally be a sign that everything is going to be all right. They have been living in the no-cat's-land for about six moons now...

FrostClan has recently suffered a small snowstorm; expect sleeting and thick frost. RainClan is finding thick frost in the higher parts of the forest but it is quickly melting where the sun's rays reach it. BeachClan has a splattering of snow but it is relatively sunny with cold sea breezes. AquaClan is finding the same in their territory with morning frost preventing any new growth. Expect more rain and snow at higher levels.
Non-clan cats joining clans (this includes clan cats who were formerly rogues, loners, or kittypets).
Appearance: Raven’s Thorn is a petite black she-cat with white markings on her chest, belly and ears. Her once-beautiful yellow eyes are now scratched with dry, cracked blood around the edges. Raven’s Thorn is blind, and she can barely speak. Her paw-pads are always sore, and her mouth is dry. For a young cat, she’s in somewhat of a bad condition.
Personality: Raven’s Thorn is shy, witty, and calm. She is resourceful and ever-lastingly loyal to her Tribe. She is protective of those who love her, those she loves, and everyone altogether. Even with her weaknesses, Raven’s Thorn is not afraid to fight.
History: As a younger cat, Raven’s Thorn fell in love with a handsome tom whose name was Serpent’s Tail. He, however, was an exile from the guild, making him both a social outcast and someone not to be trusted. One day, Raven’s Thorn was in the midst of battle with some rogue cats when, suddenly, one of them scratched her eyes. She was hurt painfully, and she couldn’t see. She could only screech painfully, for her voice was so dry. A raging, icy river stood in front of her. Coming to her rescue was Serpent’s Tail, who faithfully tried to get across the river. He drowned while doing so, and Raven’s Thorn tried her best to rescue him and herself. When he died, she mourned for many moons, and she still does. She then became a trusted advisor for her bravery.
Example of RPing: A black she-cat stumbled out of a small holly bush. Her once-glorious yellow eyes were pale and bleeding, and she laid down on the grassy ground helplessly. Admit it, Raven's Thorn, this place is no place for you, she thought to herself. She looked at the icy small Thunder-path in front of her. If only she had the strength to cross it. Then, a small gray spotted cat tumbled out of a nearby Twoleg nest. His dark, hazel eyes shone in the late afternoon sun as he bounded across the small Thunder-path. "Raven's Thorn, you cannot see. What am I supposed to do with you?" the cat cried, staring up at the sun with determination glowing in his eyes. As if he could read her thoughts, Serpent’s Tail grabbed Raven’s Thorn by the neck and darted across the small Thunder-path. He started to slow down as he approached the marsh near the icy river’s banks. Raven’s Thorn smelled the scent around her. A fresh scent of adder snake! She screeched painfully and Serpent’s Tail jumped back. “Snakes, snakes, snakes at the banks,” he muttered nervously.
Code word: What are you talking about? A code word?

Cat and I have reached the consensus of the guide, and Ali has won the spot with her application for Long Cloud. Although your application is accepted, she will need to be a different position. I believe you had said something about making her an advisor, and you are welcome to do so.
EDIT: Accepted as an advisor; female advisors can have mates.
