stratusstar - leader - 58 moons - tom - riverstar
the siamese tom mentally scolded himself for acting so jumpy; he could see in the other cat's eyes that his behavior was being seen as strange, but he couldn't help himself. his deputy suncrest would always blame in on stratusstar's father stormshroud, may he rest in peace. the deceased tom-cat was very harsh and abrasive and had extremely high expectations (and thus severe punishments) for his only son growing up. this was why suncrest was always better when it came to interacting with other clans diplomatically, but of course, nothing he could do to change that now was there. "it is, yes. my father's name was stormshroud and my mother's was cloudchaser; both my littermate nimbusstar and i were named after different types of clouds in their honor." even just giving that little bit of personal information made him nervous, realizing that his father would have scolded him for being too trusting, but this other tom seemed nice enough... "it's um good to meet you riverstar. is it uh fair assumption to say your name comes from your blue eyes? since, ya know, rivers are water which is uh blue.." the tom trailed off, realizing his compliment came across as far less smooth than the older leader's was.
verbanabloom - med. cat - 19 moons - tom - open to tag!
the young medicine cat had never attended a gathering before, but with the clan having a cat that was preparing to give birth any day now, the clan's more experienced medicine cat dockshade was better off being in the camp to help pecanleaf. verbanabloom had never actually helped or even been present during a birth yet, so he didn't mind his mentor being chosen to stay behind. the burmese tortoiseshell wasn't necessarily more friendly than his grumpy mentor, but he wasn't quite as mean; he was more so socially awkward. maybe thats why stratusstar chose him to attend the gathering this moon too, to try and make him be more social. he approached the high rock area, trying to remember which ledge his leader had told him the medicine cats would sit on.
whitespark - hunter - 47 moons - tom - open to tag!
the cream colored cornish rex had taken this opportunity to get out of the clan's camp area as quickly as it was offered to him; he had a purpose for this trip of course, one that his closest 'friend' obelishshriek had given to him, but one that he had confided in no one else attending the gathering. he quickly separated from the rest of his group as soon as the higher ranking cats walked away themselves, his purple eyes scanning the crowd for the proper type of cat to approach. he saw the eyes of other cats land on him as he wandered and couldn't help but puff up a bit in pride; he was very unique looking and he loved it, having others looking at him.
lunarsong - fighter - 34 moons - tom - thundercloud
the longhaired tom offered another smile to the tom as he sat down, wrapping his fluffy tail around his paws as he made himself comfortable, his ears flicking around out of habit before settling in a forward position, his pale green eyes landing on the tom before him to truly begin their conversation. he noticed how quiet the other cat spoke and realized he was more than just shy, he was truly almost jumping in his own skin, and lunarsong was determined to make him comfortable, as aside from the jarringly different looks, this tom was reminding him more and more of his leader. "its good to meet you thundercloud. my names lunarsong, of yangclan. and no actually, this is my first time at a gathering. i only joined my clan a few moons back, so i haven't been around long enough to have been selected before. how about yourself, you ever seen this many cats before?
capybara - apprentice - 7 moons - tom - open to tag!
the longhaired chocolate tom was very excited to have been chosen to attend the gathering; it was his very first time going! of course, his fathers had been a bit nervous about letting him go without them, but his brother was more than happy to stay behind and let capybara have the taste of freedom. chipmunkpaw was always more of an introverted and quiet cat, at least when compared with his littermate capybara who is very curious but also emotionally unstable (he had a bad habit of yelling when frustrated). as the rest of his clan's group separated off in different directions, the tom's amber eyes looked around for anyone that was young like him to talk to.
