OLIVESKY.

skyclan leader. she-cat. intense. fierce. objective.
"a long-limbed brown tabby molly with hazel eyes"
+ formerly olivebranch
+ leader after cloudstar and before swallowsky
+ the first leader to take a name after skyclan, not starclan
+ her first deputy, sloepetal, was killed by a dog
+ died of greencough
+ synopsis: olivesky was the harbinger of skyclan's new culture and traditions, living among sisters fernclaw and leafclaw themselves, living in the era of renaissance and legend for rebuilding the dwindled skyclan. She was renowned to be tough as brambles but with a kind heart, an objective mind and only the greatest intentions for her clan. She never had a mate nor kits, often stating that the support and love of her clanmates was the only thing she needed. Upon her death, she left the Clans in the paws of swallowflight, a younger tom born into the era of fernclaws and leafclaws.

SWALLOWSKY.

skyclan leader. leafclaw. tom. firm. loyal. determined.
"a muscular black-and-white tom with deep orange eyes"
+ formerly swallowflight. first leader born on the coast.
+ leader after olivesky and before hawthornsky
+ hosted the first festival of the longest sun
+ his first deputy was bested in the sandfern arena and replaced
+ died of an infected rat bite
+ synopsis: one of skyclan's shorter leaderships, swallowsky was a strong but impulsive tom. he helped to shape skyclan's understanding and embracing of the fernclaw and leafclaw system after olivesky, and began the tradition of the festival of the longest sun: skyclan's annual greenleaf festival after a particularly bitter newleaf, hoping to bring bounty to the clan for the rest of the year and the many years afterwards. for as short as his leadership was, lasting just over three years, swallowsky was thought to be a fair and empowering leader. his first deputy, a fernclaw by the name of smallfawn, was challenged by a young hawthornsky and bested in the sandfern arena to replace her. swallowsky eventually died after an infected bite from rats that were infesting the small seaside twolegplace at the time.

HAWTHORNSKY.

skyclan leader. leafclaw. tom. fatherly. stern. powerful.
"a lithe dark brown tabby tom with golden eyes"
+ formerly hawthornclaw
+ leader after swallowsky and before sunsky
+ died of feline leukemia
+ synopsis: a creator, an innovative spirit and an astute loyalty to his peers: hawkthornsky was a beloved leafclaw of his time. he had many children, what with his charismatic and debonair personality with those among him. his deputy, meadowlily, passed away from illness one cruel Leaf-bare. He then appointed sunsparrow, a mindful tomcat rumored to be half-loner through his absent and illicit father, as his deputy.

SUNSKY.

skyclan leader. fernclaw. tom. wise. generous. passive.
"a large gold-and-white tom with sun-coloured eyes"
+ formerly sunsparrow
+ leader after hawthornsky and before fennelsky
+ rumored to be half-loner
+ led for seven long years
+ his first deputy, spottedhawk, was killed only three moons before sunsky's death
+ died of loner's blight
+ synopsis: the very first fernclaw to ever hold a leader's name in skyclan, sunsky's leadership was met with some hesitance; denial, even, as the clan's prouder leafclaws expressed distaste for their counterparts. nonetheless, sunsky led with a thoughtful and kind tongue, a poet and peacemaker with the patience to listen to every cat as a leader and as a friend. however, as kind as he was, he was too forgiving and too lenient, which resulted in skyclan being devastated by loner's blight when he was too hesitant to be hostile to the aggressive loner group. he led for upwards of seven years before leaving the clan in the paws of fennelbranch, a young and inexperienced leafclaw.

FENNELSKY.

skyclan leader. leafclaw. tom. opportunistic. strong. cool.
"a small white tabby tom with a dark face and limbs, blue eyes"
+ formerly fennelbranch
+ leader after sunsky
+ lived as skyclan deputy for only three moons before becoming leader
+ synopsis: a tom younger than any leader before him in the rewritten skyclan, fennelsky has much to prove. groomed and raised by his stern leafclaw father, skyclan was unsure of how to receive this cool, inexperienced opportunist after sunsky's untimely death.
