So, ForeverClan is connected to the five main clans because of 1) Icestar is Bluestar's half-brother (that was invented by my brother, I have NO idea how it would work, but he's younger than Bluestar and therefore hasn't died yet), 2) they live near the clans' lake home and 3) Forever Song was with Wind, River, Thunder, Sky, and Shadow during the clans' formation.
The reason why Shinepool has two apprentices is because she is a very old cat and was expected to die earlier, but she refused to give up her spot and become an elder. She intends to stake it out until she dies, so Dewshine is there to fill in as soon as possible, And the Crooked-Fates (problem cats) is something I invented. They are over 12 moons old, but aren't old enough to be elders yet, so they are basically young warriors who couldn't become full-fledged ones because of their problems. Inherited some of Forever Song's "faults" (she was mute, and later became deaf and blind due to an accident).
Other facts: Mintheart was apart of Scourge's BloodClan and had a connection with him somehow. The rogue she-cat Ashwing left ForeverClan because she was orginally a ThunderClan warrior who decided to live with Ravenpaw on the farm. She occassionaly visits ForeverClan and is a source of information on other clans.
