Prompt;; Briarstep's idol is the medicine cat. While she doesn't have the patience herself for healing, or learning all those herbs, she loves that the cat who chose to take on those responsibilities does. She highly respects them, and knows that if something ever happens that makes it so she can't be a warrior anymore, she'd love to assist the healer in any way she can.

prompt;;
she knows it sounds odd, but wildebeest's greatest idol has always been her namesake. she has watched them power through the deep rivers of her savanna home many times, seeing the unlucky few be torn limb from limb while the others power forwards. she always admires the animals' bravery and perseverance, wishing she was as courageous. she has only seen this twice in her life, once as a kit and once a few moons ago, but she longs to watch the wildebeest run through the water again and see the power of the animals she was named after.

"Why do you spend so much time talking to the ancestors? They never talk back to you."

The words stung Magnoliavine's heart, and she let out a huff of annoyance but said nothing. It wasn't about their response - how could anyone be so naive as to think it was?

No, it's about respect. It's about acknowledging everything our ancestors have done for us - everything they will keep doing for us. It's about recognizing that we would be lost without them, that they are our guiding light, that they keep us rooted to who we are and where we come from. And it's about thanking them.

---

Magnoliavine tip-toed into the apprentice den, passed all of the sleeping youngsters, and finally stopped near the back. A soft smile spread across her features as she leaned down and gave each of the two curled up siblings a quick lick on the head. "Goodbye, my darlings," she whispered, heart full. The two didn't stir a bit, and she tip-toed out of the den, her children still fast asleep.

"Please," Magnoliavine whispered, looking up at the stars, "Please let them be safe until I return."]
---

She smiled gently as the camp came into her sight once more - how nice it was to be home again.

As she got closer to camp, though, the pit of her stomach felt funny, and the closer she got the stronger the feeling got. Could something have happened, some tragedy? Was Mousestar dead? Was her father?

Sequoia met her as she headed for the apprentice den. "Magnolia, don't!" the tom breathed, blocking her path towards the den. Magnoliavine furrowed her brows, "And why can't I go see my sons? Are they not in the apprentice den?"

"No, they're not."

"Then where?"

His eyes saddened, "Please don't make me say it, Magnolia..."

---

I asked the ancestors to keep my sons safe while I was away, and they didn't.

Now, I worship no ancestors, I idolize no long-dead Bearclan heroes.


I put my faith in something with more stock.





I put my faith in family.

One could even say I idolize family.

Prompt;; She's her own idol. Not only did she survive Shadestar's wrath, but she managed to become deputy. That isn't her only claim to fame by a long shot; she'll be the first to tell you how she survived the harshest winter on her own or how she snatched an eagle right out of the air. Shadestar, though, has a temper like no other that makes both of those pale in comparison.
Yeah, Rainbrook's pretty cool.

this lesbian flag !

anyone could idolize a leader; really, otter was sure that everyone in the clan admired copperstar's leadership. but her uncanny ability to mobilize and lead a clan she'd formed only one cycle ago wasn't what got otter; it was the way which she did it. she had such a strong way with understanding and appealing to others - and without coming off as forceful, no less. otter's initial meeting with heathclan's leader played out in her mind.

- -

otter wracked her brain for the proper word to describe the cat in front of her; kind? odd? mysterious? a bit too trusting? every word and phrase that flashed through her mind seemed apt. copperstar stared at her with a welcoming expression, excitement lighting up her eyes. otter got the impression that this was a break of character; the molly sitting next to her seemed baffled by the high pitch of her voice as she talked and the quiet dance her paws were doing as she waited for a response.

ah - right - a response. "i-i'm sorry," otter sputtered, "you want me to join your... what?"

copperstar had been prepared for this, and it was evident in her swift reply, "clan. i would like you to join heathclan, otter. we could use someone as skilled and good-natured as you."

"right," otter said, sparing a glance in the direction that a fox had just fled. a flurry of pride lit up her chest; it wasn't often she was recognized by others for her prowess. "and what would joining your... "clan" involve?"

"not much, really," copperstar began, "you'd live in and protect the clan's territory alongside us and - ah - any future clanmates. bring prey back to camp and share it with everyone rather than eating alone. you'd be part of a community. that's really the most important part of it.

"a community," otter echoed. she had to admit, the offer was appealing. even if it hadn't been, though, these cats were just so... interesting? she wanted to know more about them.

"would you... mind telling me more on our way back to camp?"

Prompt;;
SageDapple's biggest idol is mother nature herself.
Her peaceful autumns, her turbulent winters, the way she blooms in spring and sings through the summer. Rain drowns the earth, fire scorches each waking blossom but in the wake of tragedy, slow and persistent mother nature returns. She steps from the ashes and builds up stronger forests, bigger valleys and deeper rivers.
Mother Nature persists through all things and carries on through death and birth, silent but always there. Forgiving where she has to be but stern in matters of the heart. These paths they walk were forged by the travellers before them but it will only be a matter of time before Nature returns and settles it's heels upon the ground it owns and claims.
SageDapple sees the world spin, the way the tides come in and out but the beach remains, the way grass grows in strangest places, with little care of the absurdity of where it places it's roots.

If SageDapple could be half as strong, wilful and wise as Mother Nature she would be content. If she could be as honest, beautiful and enduring as Mother Nature she would be blessed. [193/350]
