Description
WarriorsRewritten is a project between myself, Iycanroc and tori-oislove , that aims to to fill plot holes, fix inconsistencies, and apply proper feline genetics to the random sparklecats of the Warriors universe.ΒWe also hope to introduce some amusing headcanons, because not everything is all seriousness and drama. ;D
Another thing the books lack, is diversity in the romances. It's like, "blah blah's been spending time together POOF KITTENS" for the background cast, and don't get me STARTED on the main characters' affairs. Drama drama and moooore drama. FireheartxSandstorm is a simple courtship compared to several that came along later (the SquirrelxBramble tug-o-war, the CinderxLion oh-noes-drama etc) but it was still riddled with sooo. muuuch. draaaama. So much for death, eh, Spottedleaf?
Anyway, our main problem - the unneeded drama aside - is that ALL the courtships are EXACTLY alike. They start the same way, and they culminate the same way. We seek to redeem that, by giving the characters romantic preferences, suave courting styles, and more down-to-earth confessions that not ALWAYS happen on the eve of battle.
Soooo, headcanon time~ ;w;
Redtail began to crush on Brindleface when he was still an apprentice, and he was desperate to become a warrior so he had a real shot with her; afterall, Brindleface was drop-dead gorgeous for a she-cat right? uvo Anyway, being three moons younger than her, Redtail was pretty self-conscious about being the younger part for the longest time, so he tended to overcompensate with his courting. And like the little genius he was, he resorted to kitty pick-up lines. Genius it was, because Brindleface delighted in having her vanity stroked, while at the same time slowly being enarmoured by his declarations. She played her share of hard to get for a while, but by then Redtail knew it was only a matter of time, and the rest is history. <3

Considering 90% of starclan visions include blood or fire or another creepy shit, Redtail just insulted her

I loveΒ genetically correct Warriors. All the tortie toms and ginger she-cats drives me nuts, especially since none are infertile. Like, that couldβve added an interesting twist to any relationship. Maybe an angsty twist, maybe a reason for them breaking up, maybe they wind up adopting kits or helping the other queens raise theirs. Maybe theyβre like βsweet, donβt gotta worry about getting pregnant.β A loose medicine cat that wonβt accidentally get pregnant and give away her secret?
All the ideas, none explored. Really happy I stumbled across your AU.

To be fair, Ginger she-cats are muuuuch more common than a tortie/calico tom ever is (I'd say there's like a 1-5 chance or something like that? Compare that to the 99.9% chance a tortie/calico is to be female. If the parents are both ginger you're likely to get a female ginger kitten somewhere in there), it's not like they're some uber rare thing.
So all of the ginger ladies existing isn't much of a deal. The tortie toms on the other hand you do make a point, but at least lately the Editors (Who are really to blame for the cats designs really, along with many other things in the series) have stuck to the torties being girls... for now.

Glad you think so, it was our best shot at keeping him true to his canon looks and it adds quite an interesting tidbit to him, or so we thought~

My I ask if it was even possible for redtail to have kits if he was a calico?Β

KittyStorage In reply to Rosestoyou98 [2018-01-06 14:13:44 +0000 UTC]
Yep. It's a common misconception but Redtail is a chimera, not an infertile tortie tom. While the infertile toms have a genetic makeup that makes them susceptible to health issues and fertility problems (sterile more often than not) the chimera, for all intents and purposes, is often completely healthy. Unlike the infertile tortie toms, a chimera is a mixture of two fertilized eggs that -merged- in the womb - in other words this Redtail is the result of one red tabby fetus and one solid black fetus merging, and so enabling him to be as fertile as any "normal" tomcat would be.Β
Hope that explained things to you a little ^^

You little smooth talker, you, Redtail ;3 I see you trying to woo this stunning lady, but Brindleface is going to make you work for it...and rightfully so. She's a pretty gal, and can (I assume) have her pick of the cats if she wanted. I love to imagine him with this crush on her from afar, and watching her and swooning on how pretty she is (omg and him talking to Tiger about it cAN YOU IMAGINE? LMAO that also makes me bitter, 'cause if Tiger kills her later in this version, too...ugggghhh) and then he tries all these pick up lines, and Brindleface is endeared, but she's like, "Nah, m8. Gonna need to try a little harder to impress me!"
But then I mean it makes their mateship so much more adorableΒ when they do get together, and Red is such a proud papa when he hears news that of Sand's birth and he runs to the nursery like "YUUUSSS YOU DID GREAT, MY LOVE. LOOK AT HER. SHE'S AS GORGEOUS AS YOU. OMG I CAN'T HANDLE THIS" like I'm just so in love with these two. I can't believe you've got me shipping them as hard as I am <3

It's a bit of both, he made quite the impression as a tortie so we kept it, and made him a fertile chimera instead to drive the point home

Ah, I really like the idea that Redtail was self-conscious about being younger and tried to put on bravado to compensate for it. Though Brindleface didn't appear to be vain to me - if anything, she was a very humble she-cat in the main series, and I don't remember much of her in 'Bluestar's Prophecy'. Still, I can perfectly see her having some more spunk when she were young compared to the queen she became later.
And although I'm sure I had said it before, I'll say again that your design for Brindleface is totally gorgeous - drop-dead gorgeous is a pretty good description.

KittyStorage In reply to AstarGoldenwing [2016-12-01 13:34:02 +0000 UTC]
Hehe, thank you very much~ Yeah I thought he sort of had to be, I mean the Erins might like to give she-cats younger toms for mates all the frickin' time, but if you look at it realistically... that doesn't really happen, since they're biologically tuned to go for older, more experienced toms. So Redtail had to be inventive lol. xD Well, I sorta based her vanity on her warrior ceremony in BP; she's so proud of her name Brindle'face' that kind of told me she had to be a little vain~ And thanks again!
