Birchtail and Starlingfur's Kits [ALL ADOPTED]

Guess whose having kits! Well, if you've been paying attention to either of their threads or have read the title of this post, that should be obvious. Birch and Starling! Thats who! These two have been together for about a year ic, but have known eachother for years before that. They formed a good friendship during the great journey that developed into something more as time went on. Starling has been through a lot and had two litters previous, all of which are dead save for one (our darling Ravenmist!). So she's very worried about how things will turn out here and is trying (and failing) not to expect the worst. She wants a good life for her kits, but is afraid that given the state of the world, they might not ever have the chance to really live. Plus, she doesn't exactly have the best past experiences with parenthood. Birchtail on the other hand (other paw?) is incredibly hopeful and excited. All his life he's wanted a mate and kits. Its been his dream! Sure the conditions aren't ideal what with the forest being in shambles, but you have to make do with what you've got! Always optimistic, that one. He would do absolutely anything for Starlingfur and is determined to prove to her that everything will be alright and having a family doesn't have to be something painful. He'll protect Starlingfur these kits with his life, being a very protective and doting (and i mean SUPER doting) father. Starlingfur has more experience now than when she first had her other litters, and will protect and love these kits with all she has. She wants to get it right this time. Worry is coloring her field of view but she wants to do everything in her power to have a happy life. For her, Birchtail, and their kits. So yeah, these kits are gonna be hella loved and protected in the hellhole that the clans have become!

Right now they're living beneath the pebble pool in what used to be Dawnclan's territory, the Sunset Plains. That's probably where the kits are gonna be born. Very comfortable, lots of moss, fresh water, ect ect. A good place for a family, if they can hold it from the rogues and loners.

But on to the kits! There are four of them this time (subject to change, could add another one. haven't decided yet.) as opposed to Starling's usual three. Two toms and two she-cats. Hawkkit, Shrikekit (after Birch's father), Ternkit, and Flickerkit. And at the bottom, we have a second litter for the future!

Hawkkit is gonna be mine.  A brown and white tabby tom with copper eyes. Pretty much the spitting image of his mother. Kinda thin and scraggly like she is, but his fur is more wispy than coarse. Average sized.






Shrikekit was named after his late grandfather, and looks a good bit like him too. He has his father's coloring and his mom's eyes and build, although he could grow up to be more athletic/lean. Size and build are pretty much up to his rper! ADOPTED BY STAR!





Here's Ternkit! The only kit out of the litter to have her father's green eyes, Tern is really small and a bit on the pudgy side. She has Starling's tabby markings with Birch's coloring, and is absolutely adorable. ADOPTED BY KIBA






AND HERE'S FLICKERKIT! Basically the spitting image of her father except brown and with her mother's eyes. Small, short, very pudgy. There are a lot more pictures of her here too. TAKEN BY SHAD

Edit:
Come on, Birchtail has always wanted a huge family! Do you really think that they'd stop after just one litter? Granted their second isn't going to be happening for a long, long time, but it'll be here eventually! If things go well with the first, that is. So I decided I'd post them here too, just in case anyone wants to snatch one up early (plus for personal reference).

Another litter of four, another litter of two toms and two she-cats. Things might change between now and their birth- there's going to be a lot going on ic. These kits will only be born if none of the ones above die beforehand. Starling is not going to bring more kits into this world if she thinks they're just going to suffer. So no kit killing. Anyways, lets get right into it. Crowkit, Snipekit, Mynakit, and Juncokit/Jaykit.

Using the same photo as his grandfather Crowstar, here's the first little tom. He's the exact spitting image of both his father and grandfather, although not many cats will remember the latter anymore. He shares his namesake. A small pudgy gray and white tom with green eyes. ADOPTED BY KIBA





Up next is Snipekit. She's lean and wiry like her mother, but her fur is a bit fluffy so it doesn't show quite as much. She has her mother's tabby markings and her father's dual color patching, along with her father's green eyes. She's the tallest out of their kits, throwing back to Thrushwing where both short parents ended up with a pretty tall kit. I'll be roleplaying her.





Here's Mynakit! A pudgy, fluffy little bundle of cuteness. Were it not for her weight and below average height, she would look just like her mother. Copper eyes, brown tabby fur. However, she inherited both her build and stature from her dad. ADOPTED BY KIBA





And last but not least, here's Juncokit/Jaykit! I haven't decided on a name for this little tom yet. He has his mother's eyes to a T, and her makings along with his father's coloring.  His size could be between small and average, that's up to the roleplayer. Taken by Sage!
