NOTE: These pages are no longer being updated, as we move all of the material over to the website. Please double-check any information you find here against the CISes on the website, which are the most up-to-date.

Please click on any highlighted names for an individual page about the ancestor, containing links to art of them, or to stories in which they appear. Information about tribal ancestors is still under development; while some individual deceased characters (particularly the past chiefs of the tribe) will have character information sheets (CISs) in the club's webbase, many ancestors won't be detailed beyond their names, family relationships, and salient details.

For detailed family-tree information, please visit the River Twine Holt Geneaology page.

First Generation

	Bravestride – (????-0327) M, H=brown, E=violet. One of the wolf-blooded founders, Bravestride favored his elven side; a skilled hunter and tracker with an adventurous streak, who was also highly intelligent and quick-witted in a crisis. Recognized of Littlepaw, Knifemaker & Deertracker; father of Sweetslip, Squall, Crescent, Crest, Spearpoint, Darkcurl & Sentry. Part of Chief Burn's hunting party that was caught out on the grasslands during a summer wildfire. While the hunters all manage to escape, Burn, Bravestride and Raincaller were badly burned and died later of their injuries. (art by Cindy P.)
	Clayshard - (????-0352) M, H=red, E=dark. A pureblooded elf and the tribe’s founding rockshaper. Recognized Wolfsister (fathered Dawn), Knifemaker (fathered Flint, Quill, and Meadowlark), and Cubmaker (fathered Beartooth). (art by Trena D.)
	Crow -- (????-0152) M, H=black, E=golden. A wolfblooded elf, and the tribe's founding glider. Recognized Cubmaker (fathered Sparrow and Feather), Littlepaw (fathered Tadpole and Ripple), Moth (fathered Fisher), and Sweetslip (fathered Carver). (art by Rachel V.)
	Cubmaker – (????-0225) F, H=brown, E=brown. Although she was pureblooded, Cubmaker’s fertility was impressive – especially if you consider that she earned her name even before Wolfsister’s band split off and went it own way. It’s possible she had a touch of healing ability; was certainly an empathetic, gentle-souled woman. Recognized Greenleaf (had Moondust), Crow (had Sparrow and Feather), Clayshard (had Beartooth), Redmane (had Firecat), and Eagle-Eye (had Clawsharp). (art by Vicki S.)
	Eagle-Eye - (????-0104) M, H=brown, E=brown. Recognized Wolfsister (fathered Hornet), Feverease (fathered Ambergold), and Cubmaker (fathered Clawsharp). (art by Joan M.)
	Feverease – (????-0418) F, H=white-blonde, E=grey. The tribe’s founding healer, Feverease was a skilled herbalist as well as a strong healer. Wolfsister’s closest friend and adviser, even through she herself was pure-blooded; was eager to see their small band expand its population, and took deep pride in every new birth (particularly those she “assisted” in sparking). Lifemated to Wolfsister; Recognized Greenleaf (had Reedweaver and Smoke), and Eagle-Eye (had Ambergold). (art by Linda A.)
	Greenleaf - (????-0598) M, H=blond, E=green. The tribe's founding plantshaper. Wolf-blooded. Recognized Feverease (fathered Reedweaver and Smoke), Cubmaker (fathered Moondust), Moth (fathered Raft), Sweetslip (fathered Oakhand), and Raincaller (fathered Blackberry, Pinecone, Ivy, and Raindrop). (art by Rachel V., color by Trena D.)
	Knifemaker - (????-0245) F, H=red, E=blue. Recognized Bravestride (had Swan and Crest), and Clayshard (had Flint, Quill, and Meadowlark). (art by Cindy P.)
	Littlepaw - (-0001-0493) F, H=dark blonde, E=grey. A ¾ pureblooded elf and one of the tribe’s founders. Recognized Bravestride (had Squall), Crow (had Tadpole and Ripple), and Badger (had Toss). (art by Linda A., color by Trena D.)
	Moth - (????-0197) F, H=white-gold, E=blue-violet. Wolfblooded. Recognized Redmane (had Rosepetal), Crow (had Fisher), and Greenleaf (had Raft). (art by Rachel V.)
	Raincaller - (????-0327) F. H=grey, E=grey. Wolfblooded. Recognized only Greenleaf; mother of Blackberry, Pinecone, Ivy, and Raindrop. Part of Chief Burn's hunting party that was caught out on the grasslands during a summer wildfire. While the hunters all manage to escape, Burn, Bravestride and Raincaller were badly burned and died later of their injuries. (art by Stacy L.)
	Redmane – (????-0276) M, H=red, E=brown. A pureblooded elf and one of the tribe’s founders. A steady, confident hunter with a quiet, reserved nature. Recognized Wolfsister (had Burn, Deertracker, and Barkmoss), Cubmaker (had Firecat), and Moth (had Rosepetal). (art by Trena D.)
	Wolfsister - (????-0166) F, H=blond, E=green. Founding chieftess of the tribe, a daughter of Halfwolf who favored her wolfblood. An ambitious, competitive, aggressive hunter and natural leader who chafed under the rule of the Firstcomers and other High Ones, and struck off on her own, taking a small band with her that became the nucleus of the River Twine tribe. Her real committed lifemate was the healer Feverease. Pregnant by an now-unknown father with Badger when travelling to the new holt. Recognized Redmane (had Burn, Deertracker, and Barkmoss), Clayshard (had Dawn), Eagle-Eye (had Hornet), and Bravestride (had Sweetslip). (art by Rachel V.)
