A Clan with a tumultuous past carving out a better future for themselves, StreamClan is best recognised by their unique talent to swim. More often than not, they are viewed as haughty by their fellow Clans thanks to their eye for detain, enjoying spending time grooming themselves and others. Their territory is not easily traversable for the uninitiated, with streams and rivers dominating the land. While the Clan sleeps, they are carefully guarded by their dutiful Rangers, who patrol the night.
StreamClan territory is dominated by streams and ponds, varying from a few tail-lengths deep to merely a pawstep deep. In greenleaf, this territory is rich in prey and healer herbs. No cat has heard of a thin StreamClan warrior; they are always well fed. Cats that live in this territory typically have webbed paws that help these warriors swim, and typically have thick, beautiful pelts. The main prey found here are freshwater fish, minnows, and the occasional forest creature like squirrels and mice. The main predators are foxes, badgers on the outskirts of the territory, and large birds of prey. Predators can be uncommon, however, due to the abundance of water running throughout the territory. Besides swimming, the only way to access this territory is by the dangerous stepping stones found on both sides of the territory. In times of rain, these stones are anything but existent, submerged by water.
StreamClan cats often share tongues as a bonding activity, to help maintain their thick pelts. As a result, they often come off as vain and haughty to other Clans. It's not uncommon to see StreamClan warriors use flowers as a way to help add color to their pelts. Swimming is also another activity StreamClan cats love to participate in, especially during the hot midday of greenleaf. With bountiful prey, most StreamClan cats also love to eat, to the point that cats have the freedom to be extremely picky with what they eat. Border patrols are lax with rainy days, as the rain causes the streams to swell and cover the only way into the territory; only a truly foolish non-StreamClan cat would dare try to swim through those rapids.
Sleek and stealthy, StreamClan’s Rangers were introduced by Quillstar in an effort to stop nighttime attacks on the Clan. Unlike the typical warrior, these cats work primarily alone at night, patrolling StreamClan’s vast marshlands or standing guard at camp. Due to the irregularity of their active hours, Rangers are not required to participate in daytime patrols, but are encouraged to do so if they wish. Rangers are required to know basic herbal knowledge in the circumstance that they, or another Ranger, are injured and unable to be quickly seen by a Healer. For covert missions, Rangers are the first choice, and it is preferable that they are able to be stealthy and able to quickly hide themselves from potential foes for sneak attacks or quick getaway. They are required to work closely with StreamClan’s Leader, reporting their findings for the night and participating in any covert operations that need them. A cat can begin training underneath the Rangers after completing their Warrior’s training.
StreamClan Camp
Location
The cats of StreamClan make their camp on an island surrounded by water on all sides. The only way to enter the camp is either to swim or to use the stepping stones located on the far side of camp. Reeds and bushes surround the perimeter. On the north side of camp lies the stepping stone path to get to the StreamClan training grounds. A large willow dominates one side of camp; within its trunk, the Leader of StreamClan makes their den. Although this camp is overall really secure due to how tough it is to enter, the threat of drowning is very real for kits; adults are advised to constantly keep watch.
Dens
StreamClan cats make their dens among the bushes and reeds that make up the outside of camp. On the inside, there is special care to pad the walls with bracken and branches, to prevent cats from accidentally stepping in water. In times of heavy rain, the Clan sleeps under the willow tree, as the dens are susceptible to light flooding due to the waterline swelling from rainwater.

The Val’Kuum confirms that this curious warrior is not the heir they are seeking, but she is more than welcome to travel back with them to Fjell’Byr. This invitation is then extended to any StreamClan cat interested. She reported this to Quillstar and StreamClan’s healers, and that she has decided that she will be leaving StreamClan, to join Fjell’Byr.
Word quickly spread throughout camp of this StreamClan warrior’s decision: soon, it became the gossip of StreamClan. Thunderstrike, growing curious from stirring rumors, approached the Fjell patrol as well, to inquire if perhaps he may be the heir they are seeking. The Val’Kuum confirms that Thunderstrike is not the heir, but is invited to join them back to Fjell’Byr. He reports this to Goosewaddle first, then Quillstar and StreamClan’s healers, and that he will be leaving to join Fjell’Byr as well.
Bluebriar, curious as well about the Clan gossip, approached the Fjell patrol, to see if perhaps she was the heir they sought. The Val’Kuum once more confirmed that Bluebriar was not the heir they sought, but she too was invited to join their patrol.
With rumors continuing to stir, Singesight and Pelicansun approached the Fjell patrol, after an omen Pelicansun received regarding perhaps Singesight was the heir they sought. The Val’Kuum nods:
Singesight is the heir they were looking for.
With their heir discovered, it’s announced that the Fjell would prepare to return to the mountains and Fjell’Byr once more. They would leave before Leaf-Bare’s snow became too much for them to travel back home.
