『personality』
milkpaw is a courageous young tom with a bleeding heart. he's always at the ready to lend a paw to clanmates in need, almost to a fault. in that way, his mother always told him he was much like his late father. he never met the tom, but her tales of what a brave and strong warrior he was have always pushed him to be like heatherfang.
he has a curious nature, always imagining the most outrageous things. berryfoot always says she named him for the fact that it looked as though someone had dipped her kit into a puddle of milk. stories like those led to him inheriting her humor and way of seeing the world.

his selfless bravery and infinite curiosity leaves him rather naive, though. the young tom is rather gullible and quick to believe anything from the mouth of a trusted companion -- a fault that he's been recently made aware of as he's come to interact with his father's brother. since becoming an apprentice and spending more time with the warriors, he's seen the way that his uncle, viperheart, sees him, and he's had his faults pointed out by the very same eyes that look down on him.

when he's asked, he was simply told his father wasn't always what others thought him to be. only left more confused by the cryptic retort, he's left to wonder who has the full truth - his mother, with all of her pleasant tales of heart and bravery, or viperheart, with his cold eyes concealing untold stories?

『personality』
viperheart keeps to himself most often, coming off as aloof and just as mysterious as his origins.
being born to loners, he and his late older brother, heatherfang, pleaded to join the clan when viperheart was just a 5-moons-old kit. as such, even now, he finds it hard to create a tight bond with his clanmates. he lives in his more social brother's shadow, afraid that he won't be quite what they expect him to be.
many of viperheart's social fears seem to stem from some unknown conflict between he and heatherfang. it wasn't uncommon to see the two of them whispering to one another, no one quite sure what was being said. it would usually be some sort of argument. they didn't seem to interact much otherwise. fearing this poor impression would lead his clanmates to ostracize him even now, after heatherfang passed, he still keeps his relationships rather...professional. it's as though he doesn't trust them to believe him, whatever the truth of his dynamic with heatherfang truly might've been.
all that can really be seen of viperheart for certain is his disdain toward his brother's mate and others that speak highly of what a brave and selfless warrior he was. his grudge runs deep, and he hasn't been above treating his brother's friends, mate, and kits differently now that heatherfang is gone.

once his walls crumble just a bit, though, some of his clanmates have gotten to see his softer side. most kits and elders will get frequent visits with softer, fresher bedding for their nests; he's always one of the first ones to ask a fellow warrior if they're alright after a fall or scuffle. if he could get over his tendency to isolate himself, he'd be one of the most gentle, caring cats of the clan.

『personality』
born and raised a kittypet, it was quite odd to ethel when her two owners split apart. when the no-fur that stayed started packing things into boxes and taking them away, curiosity got the better of her, and she followed them outside as they packed the metal beast's belly full and left. with no way to get back inside, ethel sat and waited...and waited...and waited...until a whole night had passed with her owner never returning. unsure if they were coming back and beginning to feel unfamiliar hunger pains, she made the reluctant decision to leave in hopes of finding her owner.
along the way, she got lost; obstacles like dogs giving chase, monsters on the paths, and less than friendly strays led to her getting turned around completely.
her determination is unbreakable, at the very least.

her heart too big for her chest and her stubbornness keeping her resolve, she's found herself in the woods with no real way home... she doesn't let it bring her down, though. she trusts whatever led her here had a reason. she'll either see her no-fur's face again, or she won't. she'd rather treasure the past than dread the unknown future.

Can I go ahead and steal Grayfang from the NPC's, and reserve him while I work on his form and I'll upload it as soon as I'm done c:
Grayfang, warrior, tom, 27 moons

[Spiritstar3]

I'm going to have Ghostpaw crush on Milkpaw if that's okay (since I have him crushing on another male I actually don't know the sexuality of...)

[dorayaki]

that's fine by me! ✨️
