RoseClan
Level 4
Clan Description
RoseClan is a very kind and peaceful clan. They will almost always try to find the best solution. Which, in their minds, means the least amount of bloodshed. Their leader, Hazelstar, tries to set a good example for the apprentices, and warriors are expected to hold up kind and loyal positions, failure to do so will result in apprentice duties for a certain amount of time. Although their expectaitions can be very rough, the clan and all of it's members are very forgiving. Don't be afraid to mess up! Life is full of mistakes, embrace them and learn from them. Grow your character into the best it can be.
Clan Territory
RoseClan cats live in an area of meadows, with their camp in the forest. This roofed forest is full of many thorn bushes, the thorns often littering the floor. This is why the cats decided to live mostly in the meadows, with their camp highly protected from rogues. A small stream runs through the camp, with a giant oak tree in the corner. This tree has a hollow underneath, big enough for up to 3 cats with space. Moss also grows on the sides facing the stream, perfect for apprentices’ duties. The meadow has small thinner trees dotted with many herbs. The stream carries from the forest into the meadow, but grows wider and deeper into a river.

Their camp has a giant oak tree in the center, with the leader's den inside. The space is able to fit 3 cats, all with enough room to be comfortable. During a clan meeting, the leader of RoseClan will stand on one of the lower laying branches. Surrounding the oak is the 5 other dens, as well as the camp entrance. A small stream runs right through the camp, providing easy access to fresh water and small fish. This water also allows moss to grow around the base of the oak.
​
The nursery, elder's den, and medicine cat's den is farthest from the camp entrance. The warriors and apprentices are closer, in hopes that if the clan is ever ambushed it will be protected by the strongest members. The apprentice's den is also closest to the moss, so that they can utilize it. With the rapidly growing clan, Hazelstar left room for more building opportunities. There is room for one more den, or expansion of the others.
​
Beside the stream, and close to leader's oak, is a small garden-like area. Sootwing, the first medicine cat in RoseClan, started growing herbs when she first joined. The main herb grown is dock, used to heal paw pads from thorn scratches. Cats odten accidently carry thorns into camp, so the herb is used often.
Clan's Reputation
RoseClan has an . . . odd reputation among the other clans. They all think that the clan is weird for always having peaceful solutions. The medicine cats don't mind, of course, because it means that they don't have to use as many herbs. However, the warriors will often be itching for a battle with some of these "goody-two-shoes". They call them weak for resenting battle, weak for their different ways, and weak for their so called bright ideas. RoseClan doesn't mind this, but if they are repeatedly provoked they will attack. Violently.
Clan Traditions
-
If a clanmate ever becomes severely injured/ill, the apprentices will gather 2-5 pieces of prey each, dig a hole near camp, and bury the prey. This is done in the hopes that StarClan will accept the offering, sparing the injured cats life. It is said that if StarClan is not satisfied, the cat will die less than 2 moons later.
-
If there are no apprentices, or less than 3, than a warrior must be called for each missing.
-
Apprentices are to be punished if they do not bring in enough. Punishments include tick duty; cleaning dirtplace, replacing bedding, etc.

Relationships
Hazelstar and Flamepool:
These two have been buddies for a pretty good time. Hazelstar had just befriended the tom when they were apprentices together, before running off. Flamepool was deeply sad when he left, hoping for moons that he would return. When Hazelpaw returned, he had given himself his warrior name, Hazeleye. Flamepaw had become Flamepool. This two friends reunited, but Hazeleye soon found out that his parents had died. Flamepool went with him this time, and helped him establish RoseClan. Now, the two are the closest of friends, standing up for the other in their times of need.
