Snailpounce
”It still does hurt though. I think about you all the time, and I hope I can be a warrior that makes you proud one day.”
Darkfall's mother died when he and his sister, Fallenpaw, were 8 moons of age while giving birth to her second litter. The two weren't too close, with Snailpounce getting pregnant not too long after he was apprenticed and being preoccupied, but he still loves her all the same.
Fallenpaw
”I love you Fallenpaw, watch over us… please,”
Fallenpaw was Darkfall's littermate that unfortunately died during their second moon of apprenticeship a few days after their mother died. Darkfall (then Darkpaw) had been devasted by her death, having promised that they'd figure out her sickness together, only to not be there during her final moments. As kits, the two were very close but eventually slowly drifted apart a little after their schedules got filled during their apprenticeship. Darkfall still holds a lot of love for the deceased cat in his heart and wants to one day make her proud.
Smokepaw
The oldest of his younger brothers, Darkfall thinks he was the most mature out of the chaos trio and loves him dearly. When Darkfall found out about his death, he was devasted and sad to not have been there to help out.
Smolderingpaw
’One of these days I’m just going to step on him’
The most chaotic of his siblings as a whole. Darkfall worries that Smolderingpaw will end up getting hurt or something because he's constantly running around his paws and picking fights with others. Darkfall was saddened to learn that his brother had gone missing, and wishes that the young tom would return back to the clan.
Vulturekit
The youngest of his siblings, Darkfall also worries about him because Vulturekit is always trying to outdo Smolderingkit's antics. Also Darkfall is sometimes a little apprehensive about interacting with the small kit because he looks almost identical to their mother.
Larkfire
Larkfire of course was basically his only friend, but with her constant mood swings he felt like he was walking on egg shells around her all the time. And being around her had begun to feel… weird… And he did not know why.
Larkfire is a former loner that he first talked to at a gathering during their apprenticeship. At first they exchanged flirty banter before eventually becoming friends. Darkfall is extremely grateful to her, as she had been with Fallenpaw during the latter's final moments and helped bury her. He sees her as a rival and is constantly competing with her in the silliest of matters. Though Larkfire's attitude oftentimes leaves him confused, he believes her to be a good cat and enjoys teasing her. He is slowly developing feelings for her.
At present, he feels guilty because he had gone looking for his apprentice who disappeared without saying anything, and for the most part has been overall avoiding and distancing himself from her. Additionally, he has come to realize that he has romantic feelings for her, but is not sure what to do about them. Things between the two cats are extremely awkward but he hopes that he'll be able to make up and go back to being close.

Cinderblaze
”Maybe… maybe one day I can become an enforcer or perhaps deputy and follow in your pawsteps. Maybe I can help make this clan more… peaceful. Not soft, I plan on working everyone to the bone, but not so coldhearted either.”
Cinderblaze was Darkfall's first mentor and the former deputy of the clan. Darkfall revered the older tom with a lot of respect and was proud to have been his apprentice. Though their time was cut short, he is grateful for having been able to learn from the warrior. Due to Cinderblaze dying a couple of days after his sister, Darkpaw was thrown into a depression and cursed twolegs at the meeting, vowing to get revenge. He hopes to one day be deputy as well and work on making the clan a better place to live.
Moonpaw
Darkfall's first apprentice. The she-cat disappeared late May/early June of 2023. After spending some time to search for her, Darkfall came to terms with the fact that she was really gone, but holds out on her potentially still being alive. Darkfall believed that she would become a capable warrior and help better the clan with the right guidance. She was also a quick learner and ever curious about the world around them which Darkfall admired. He is disappointed that she is gone but hopes that wherever she is, she is safe.
Heron
Heron is an amber-eyed grey and white tabby that Darkfall met while searching for Moonpaw. Initially mistaking her for Larkfire, he realized that the two cats couldn't be any more different. Where Larkfire usually wasn't one to open up or be up front about her feelings, Heron readily did so despite him being a stranger. He appreciates that Heron kept him company while he was looking for his apprentice and even more so the fact that she actively contributed to helping. When leaving the she-cat behind to go back to the clan, he realized that her caring personality was something he really like and chided himself for snapping at Larkfire when she tried to treat him in a similar manner while they were apprentices. Even though it was a short while, Heron was good to him, but despite a slight resemblance, she was no Larkfire.
Neutral
Dawnstar
Darkfall acknowledges that Dawnstar is a strong leader and has the best interests of the clan in mind, but doesn't always like or agree with how she handles things. He believes she can be unnecessarily cruel at times and needn't solve all of her problems with violence. Of course, he won't say all of this to her because he'd rather keep his ears, but some of the hulking she-cat's behaviors put him off. Despite this, Darkfall respects her as she's kept the unruly clan in order and is constantly seeking to improve their lives. He wonders if her attitude is the reason why there are so many crazies within the clan.
Twilightstar
Darkfall has only met the WindClan leader on two occasions, and other than Dawnstar she is the only leader he has spoken to at present. Though he doesn't care too much about her clan, he believes that Twilightstar is a just leader who cares about her clan deeply and doesn't cause unnecessary conflict. He also acknowledges that she's a good speaker and is not against taking responsibility for the actions of her clanmates. Overall, he has a favorable opinion of her.
Shadowfur
Darkfall respected the tom prior to his disappearance, and believes something must have happened to the fiercely loyal warrior. He admired the strength of Shadowfur and his proactiveness, but did not like how he was always calling him to do something or another. Overall, he believes that Shadowfur was the embodiment of what a clan cat should be - loyal, strong and not unnecessarily cruel.
Strawberrykit
Dappledleaf
A now-deceased queen that helped Darkfall raise his younger siblings. Though the two didn’t always get along, he had to admit that he respected and appreciated her deeply for what she did. While an apprentice, he snapped at her for bossing then-Larkpaw around but was quickly shut up because he found out she was her adopted mother. Ever since that moment, the two were at odds, but their relationship was on a steady incline prior to her death.
Daypaw
Darkfall didn't have much of an opinion on the cat before his death. He knew that he was Larkfire's protective brother, but not much else. He didn't know why, but for some reason Daypaw did not like him at all.
Mirehound
Negative
Cougarivy
Darkfall acknowledges that one; Cougarivy is a capable cat (hence why she's the Enforcer Commander), and two; is an excellent asset to the clan. He just doesn't like her. Ever since his first hunting lesson as an apprentice, he has never really been able to forgive her for bowling him over right before he landed on his prey. To top it off, she had given a goofy excuse as well. Also, he finds her behavior extremely unnerving. He respects her strength, but just does not like the way she acts.
Ruepaw
His Father (Vulturefang)
Darkfall doesn't have the slightest clue who are where his father is, he just knows that he was absent. He was absent when his mother was raising him and Fallenpaw. He was absent when he became an apprentice. He was absent when his mother died. He was absent when Fallenpaw was dying and eventually died. He was absent when Darkfall was thrown into depression after Cinderblaze died. He was absent when he had to essentially raise his siblings. He was absent when he during his warrior ceremony. He was absent when his family disappeared. And lastly, he still was absent. Darkfall honestly couldn't care who his father was, it just bothered him that the cat remained missing for 18 moons without saying anything. He would never be a father like that.
