Description
Dwelling on a small island between two rivers, RiverClan cats control a majority of where the water runs, because they are the most adapted to swimming; sometimes they swim the distance to the island instead of crossing the fallen log during Gatherings. They do not generally fear water, and are fairly peaceful with the knowledge that other Clans won't be likely to take their territory because they aren't skilled fishers and would have difficulty accessing prey. With shimmering coats, quick wit, and powerful muscles, they are normally strong due to their frequent swimming, but the muscles usually hide beneath their coats and leave them looking slender. It is told that Leopardstar said, "Nothing can stand against the force of water, just as nothing can defeat RiverClan warriors when we rise up together. But when trouble comes, RiverClan knows how to weave through the dangers, adapting to the changed world, just as the river flows around rocks and over waterfalls. We are grace. We are power. We are RiverClan." They love beautiful things, and are known to collect objects that they find attractive to decorate their nests. Other Clans may consider them to be stubborn and lazy.

Prey and Hunting
The RiverClan diet is largely composed of fish (trout, minnow, carp, salmon), but it is not unknown for a warrior to catch water voles, water shrews, shrews, and mice. They dislike catching birds, but will in times of strife. Lightning reflexes help them scoop fish from the bank. They also hunt moorhens and voles.
