]Welcome to 2024, Whitewater! What a snowy and freezing start to the year for most of us! We are very excited to be able to celebrate another new year with you all. We hope everyone’s resolutions involve making more battle cats and causing more kitty drama.
➤ The rest of this month will consist of an activity check. Hold off on aging your cats...we will have an age-up at the start of February! This is a little different than usual, so we will have more details on how that is being handled next month.
For this activity check, please just reply to this thread! If you would like, take some time to ensure your wanted ads, hubs, and trackers are up to date during this chilly lull. Even if you do not have accepted cats, please let us know that you would like to stick around! We ask that responses be submitted no later than 1/31. If you are unable to check in, please post an away in our Discord or message staff privately about your absence! Members who do not reach out or reply to this thread will have their characters/WIPs archived and may be removed from the Discord.
➤ New year new special suffixes! We are excited to add an additional special suffix for each clan. As a reminder, special suffixes are rewards for our member/character/thread recognitions.
-root has been added as a PrairieClan special suffix. The cats of the prairie are especially aware of the strength of roots. Tunnelers have to avoid or work through large systems while the herbalist and their students may wrestle with roots during transplants. This suffix would be used for reliable, sturdy, and down to earth cats and would most likely be found within the tunneler rank.
-lily has been added as a MistClan special suffix. The cats of MistClan are fond of the natural world around them, even the parts that may be deceptively deadly. Being honored with -lily may signify graceful or elegant cats, but would also be used for those whose beauty hides a certain danger, whether exceptional hunting or fighting skills or a clever mind.
-sky has been added as a RidgeClan special suffix. RidgeClan has a special relationship with the sky above, especially from their perceived closeness to their ancestors. This suffix would be used for open-minded and curious cats and would also be used to recognize especially devout or spiritual members of the Clan.
➤ Adrian has created an open threads list for everyone's reference! Make sure to shower him with your love. This list is a great resource to see where you can toss your cat for some writing! This will be updated periodically as new threads are created and old ones are filled.
➤ As a reminder for all of our Secret Santa participants, you have until the end of the month (1/31) to prepare and give your gift! You may send your gift at any time, just let a member of staff know once you have! If you are unable to participate, please let us know ASAP so that we can ensure your recipient still gets a gift.
For reference, the following members signed up and should have received a message with their recipient in December: Tor, Jae, Bee, Adrian, Erose, Foreverest, Ryn, Owl, and Bones.
➤ Last, we want to wish a very happy birthday to our wonderful Jinx!! We hope you had a fantastic day and that you get to eat more lobster soon!

OTMs
]Last, we want to recognize our next batch of OTMs! If at any point you feel a particular member, character, or thread is deserving of being recognized, please reach out to staff with nominations! As a reminder, all recognized members (and the players of recognized characters and thread participants) are rewarded the use of a special prefix!
MEMBER OTM ♦ It's hard to ignore the incredible presence that Cosmic has in our community. She is always eager to plot and thread with everyone using her incredible cast of characters and never shies from picking up wanted ad characters to stay engaged with the community! We always get excited to see her post another WIP, even though she always claims it's the last cat for a while...we hope we get to keep seeing more from her!
CHARACTER OTM ♦ Summit has been a force to reckon with since his creation! We loved his creative bio (or rather, double bios) and his exciting wanted ad which has helped fill out some of the dynamics of both the barn and the cabin sect, but his on-site interactions have been the most delightful to read! We have especially enjoyed reading his reunion with Ashfang, which we think had everyone in an emotional chokehold. We can't wait to see what the future brings Summit and his newly discovered past!
THREAD OTM ♦ This winter has been a very lovey dovey season for Whitewater, with several on-site pairings forming or seeing some very exciting development. We are anticipating a romance-filled spring, and one pairing that we are excited to see develop is that of Irisfrost and Dawnclaw! They have gone through incredible growth together from their initial meeting of a grieving mother interrogating a possible suspect. In offer it a soul, we see these two meet in the Moon Cave, discussing their hard pasts and looking into a future of supporting each other. We can't wait to see their development continue!
