KOISTAR
[pos/neu]
he can't claim a personal
relationship with the
leader, but swiftsnap has
a learned respect for cats xx
in power. but really?
briarblossom?
BLIZZARDBRIAR
[pos/neu]
the same respect he has
for koistar, he has for
blizzardbriar. at the same
time, swiftsnap sees her
levelheadedness as
somehow false or forced
and in the heat of the
moment wonders if she's
condescending to he
or the others.
FALLENOAK
[pos]
swiftsnap hasn't had
reason to snap at
fallenoak in the past. he's
fond of the medicine cat
and appreciates the work
he does for blossomclan.
and if he would rather
not rest after injury,
that's his own little
secret.
EGRETCALL
[pos/neu]
he's less likely to get away
with ignoring egretcall's
instructions. may have
argued with her a couple
of times in the past, but
still respects her as a
medicine cat. he holds
no hard feelings.
feels unnerved by her
general calm.
SWEETNOSE
[neu/neg]
while his respect for
medicine cats is more
given than earned, snap
dislikes sweetnose's air-
headedness and may be
more likely to incite an
argument with the
apprentice.

LARKFROST
[neu/neg]
swiftsnap disagrees with
larkfrost on many things,
namely her methods of
problem-solving though
sometimes her attitude
plays a role.
PALETUFT
[neu]
paletuft and swiftsnap often xx
agree, but when they don't
the pair can get explosive
as he isn't willing to let her
win. they don't really hang
out, but it's inevitable
two warriors of the same
clan will spend time
together.
LIONSTORM
[neg]
i think he just flat-out
hates lionstorm ngl.
BRIARBLOSSOM
[pos/neu/neg]
he's trying very hard to
like briarblossom, given their
situation, but it's not.
working. it should be obvious
to all the clan that swiftsnap
and briarblossom don't get
on well with each-other, as
the pair are always arguing
and they rarely spend time
together. the time spent
together is spent arguing, or
with snap brooding silently
beside a likewise-silently
brooding briar. this will
be what eventually leads
him to question this
tradition.
DAPPLEDMOON
[neu]
they agree on most things,
even if the both of their
tempers' collide occasionally.
their arguments don't last
as long and aren't worth
holding a grudge over.
PEBBLESKY
[pos]
pebblesky's volume control
issue and his unwieldy energy
don't bother swiftsnap, and
he doesn't disagree with
the cat's own opinions. the
issue would be that snap
is ever the fighter where
pebblesky is an outspoken
pacifist. they get along fine,
he thinks.
DARKWILLOW
[neu]
snap will say he isn't
intimidated by darkwillow,
but he's not one hundred
percent comfortable when
talking to him, either.
darkwillow is difficult to
read, and when snap can't
tell what a cat is thinking
he feels at a disadvantage.
still, he doesn't dislike the
other.
FLEETFOOT
[neu/neg]
to snap fleetfoot seems
to be something of a
pushover, which means
that the mottled warrior
respects him less. that
being said, snap recognizes
and appreciates his open-
ness.
SHADOWFROST
[neg]
her aggression and her
recklessness do little to
endear shadowfrost to
swiftsnap, who's all too
aware of an impulse
problem of his own. where
some arguments can be
settled without real offense,
these aren't the kind snap
shares with shadowfrost.

DEERTRACK
[pos]
where he would otherwise
see deertrack as a weak
personality with little self-
esteem, that deertrack is
prone to approaching him
regardless of snap's brutish
outward demeanor means
snap has grown to enjoy
and even expect the other
tom's company. the
determination that he must
possess to return to snap
time and again despite any
faults in his personality
means that snap appreciates
his presence. deertrack's
openness has made snap a bit
protective of him.
SILENTPAW
[neu]
swiftsnap isn't familiar
enough with any one
apprentice to form an
opinion on any of their
number, but silentpaw
in particular strikes him
as a poor fit for the
position of a warrior.
DOEPAW
[neu]
swiftsnap isn't familiar
enough with any one
apprentice to form an
opinion on any of their
number, but doepaw
seems to mind her own
business, which he can
appreciate.
TINYPAW
[neu]
swiftsnap isn't familiar
enough with any one
apprentice to form an
opinion on any of their
number, but tinypaw
seems like another weak
link in their chain of
upcoming warriors. she
does seem agreeable,
though she lacks bite.
ROWANPAW
[neu]
swiftsnap isn't familiar
enough with any one
apprentice to form an
opinion on any of their
number, but rowanpaw
seems to be trying to
out-argue him before
she reaches half his
moons. he's glad they
don't interact.
FIDGETPAW
[pos]
swiftsnap isn't familiar
enough with any one
apprentice to form an
opinion on any of their
number, but fidgetpaw
is the apprentice of a
good friend, which
means that snap is a
little fond of him.
REDPAW
[neu]
swiftsnap isn't familiar
enough with any one
apprentice to form an
opinion on any of their
number, but it's a good
thing redpaw isn't training
to be a fighter.
THRUSHWING
[pos/neu]
that the molly tries to
stay out of drama while
at the same time she
thrives in it amuses snap,
and her mischief doesn't
bother him overmuch.
they agree on many things.

x.xthings we see,
xxbut to nuances

KOISTAR
[pos]
koistar has always been,
at least in appearance,
kind to her. after the
scandal and again after
the death of her mother
doepaw would see koistar xx
keeping an eye on her
training sessions or
glancing her way during
meals with other
apprentices. she's
unsure weather this was
uncertainty or care, but
knows that he's never
made her feel alienated
or scrutinized as some
other blossomclan cats
have.
BLIZZARDBRIAR
[pos]
like her father, blizzardbriar
has never treated doepaw
poorly. the deputy always
seems kind when she
addresses the clan, and
seems genuinely concerned
for them all. doepaw
can't say that she knows
blizzardbriar very well,
but she trusts her.
FALLENOAK
[pos/neu]
doepaw has a slight fear
of medicine cats for their
connection to starclan
(which her birth wrongly
defies) due to her
circumstances, but
fallenoak hasn't treated
her poorly and she does
like him.
EGRETCALL
[pos]
doepaw feels a sort of
connection to egretcall
considering that they
are both relative
outsiders (and she
doesn't seem to realize
that their circumstances
are just a bit different,
that egret has been
through much more and
may not appreciate the
sentiment).
SWEETNOSE
[pos/neu]
while sweetnose hasn't
been a medicine cat for
long, doepaw still isn't
sure where she stands
with him and isn't about
to ask. she doesn't
dislike him, but worries
as she often does with
medicine cats that
her presence is
unwanted.
LEOPARDPAW

LARKFROST
[pos/neu/neg]
doepaw isn't close with xx
many warriors, and in
fact doesn't make a
habit of speaking with
many of them at all,
but she doesn't dislike
larkfrost. aside from
her kindness, larkfrost
is another half-clan cat
with whom doepaw
wonders if she shares a
bond.
PALETUFT
[neu]
doepaw avoids paletuft
to some degree, because
she doesn't want to be
involved in any pointless
drama.
LIONSTORM
[neu/neg]
it's impossible to avoid
any blossomclan warrior
entirely, but lionstorm
most of all. as the mate
of her mentor, lionstorm
is a regular figure in her
life. she will tolerate him
but doepaw hates his
overinflated pride and
his tendency to attract
the worst kind of cats.
BRIARBLOSSOM
[neg]
briarblossom is the 'worst
kind of cat' lionstorm's
presence attracts. not only
is briarblossom an
attention hog of massive
proportions, but she has
an obvious crush on
lionstorm. doe's mentor's
mate. as in taken. she
could take briar's eyes out!
DAPPLEDMOON
[pos]
dappledmoon, while
dramatic as all get-out,
has been a wonderful
influence on doepaw. her
mentor is like a second
mother to her, and doepaw
is as protective as she
imagines an older cat
might be of their own
apprentice.
PEBBLESKY
[pos/neu]
pebblesky's outspoken
pacifism means that
doepaw trusts him,
but she still isn't close
with-- doesn't even really
know him very well.
she appreciates the
effort he puts into
keeping the camp calm.
DARKWILLOW
[neu/neg]
his dedication to the laws
of the clan means that
doepaw isn't as comfortable
with the tom as she
probably should have been.
his difficult-to-read
facial expressions and
body language are just
more reasons for her to
avoid him.
FLEETFOOT
[neu]
she doesn't know him very
well at all. he seems
nervous in a way even
she can't relate to.
SHADOWFROST
[neg]
doepaw really doesn't like
shadowfrost. mean, mean,
mean machine.
too close!

SWIFTSNAP
[neg]
i don't want this.jpeg
DEERTRACK
[neu]
she's tempted to say that
deertrack's association
with briarblossom and
swiftsnap make him
irredeemable and that
he should pray she doesn't
decide whether he makes
it into starclan, but he
actually seems kind of
okay.
SILENTPAW
[pos/neu]
doepaw is more comfortable
with apprentices than
fully-promoted cats, and
silentpaw, for all that he
is nervous, is just as
kind. doepaw appreciates
his efforts, no matter how
well they do (or don't) go.
TINYPAW
[pos]
doepaw thinks that
tinypaw is a good friend,
and loves how open and
genuine she is. her
patience and willingness
to listen make her
invaluable to the
apprentices' den.
ROWANPAW
[pos/neu]
rowanpaw is one of those
drama-attracting cats
that doepaw would rather
avoid, but still she enjoys
the other's company.
FIDGETPAW
[pos/neu]
fidgetpaw is another
kindly apprentice that doepaw
values having around. she
is nervous, understanding
his need to prove himself,
that he may say or do
something cruel to her if
he's being observed, but
so far her worries have
been unfounded.
REDPAW
[pos]
[chanting] the apprentices'
den is full of friends! the
apprentices' den is full of
friends! doepaw loves
redpaw, and loves how
caring she can be.
THRUSHWING
[neu]
she can't say that she knows
enough about thrushwing
to make a judgement call on
her character, but knows
the warrior to be intuitive.
