➳ Goldenstar's goal in life was never leadership. in reality, all she wanted was a lover to curl up beside and a family to greet her when she wakes up. Needless to say, the stresses of leading the clan have dragged those dreams to a shuddering stop. Her mother always told her dreams were for lazy kits, anyway. She's always had an overprotective streak, never letting her brother get into dangerous shenanigans like he wanted to. Her resentment for violence has always put a damper on things the more adventurous things in life, and many of her clanmates are quick to call her a mother hen. She won't apologize for loving them too much, though.

➳ Merryfoot proudly follows the mentality of 'live life to the fullest'. He's open to try anything and everything. A cat that revels in stories, he's simply looking for another tale to add to his already-expansive collection.

His enthusiasm for life combined with his sister's more protective outlook led to some quarrels and hiccups in his kithood. Now, he simply does his best to avoid his sister when she's in a motherly mood. It doesn't help his adventurous cause that she's the leader now.

Where Goldenstar is all for that family life, even if she may never achieve it, Merryfoot has never been that interested in setting down roots. Starting a family feels restrictive, and frankly, far too much effort for the reward. His clan is family enough; he doesn't need a bunch of 'mini-him's running around, too. He won't lie, there's a few cats he's felt something more than friendship for, but they never stuck around long enough for either of them to initiate anything. Merryfoot isn't one to rush into important things.

➳ While named after her coat color, Copperfang's name is a more apt descriptor in relation to the local copperhead snake. She can spit venom if wronged, and she's not afraid to show her claws. In some occasions, she might be too hasty to fight. Words aren't her strong suit, and she's a more 'fight first, ask questions later' kinda gal. She's always been rather hotheaded, but she wasn't so temperamental in her younger years. Losing her first love as a young warrior turned her down a more morally gray path. Now, she's prone to toe the line of the warrior code and snark back at naysayers -- or just authority in general.

No one doubts that she's a good warrior, but she knows there are a few in the clan that would rather have her gone than remain a thorn in their side. To be fair, she has considered the loner life many times before. Clan life has been all she's known, however, and remaining is far more beneficial than leaving. Besides, where would they be without her?

FLEETSTRIKE
————————————————————
"sleek black she-cat with yellow eyes"
she/her. demi-romantic. lesbian. atheist.
thirty-six moons. warrior. kin: pebblepaw (niece)
————————————————————

Fleetstrike is deadly serious at the best of times. She doesn't do humour. Regardless, she enjoys the company of cats who have a lighter outlook on life, and she knows how to laugh. She's got that gently mysterious vibe to her, but it's not something she's actively trying to do. It's mostly her appearance. It's easy to miss a black cat in the cloak of night. She's picky about details, and kind of a stickler, but only because it helped her learn in the past. She'd be a good deputy, but she doesn't feel like she deserves that kind of position and doesn't want it anyway. She's often times flippant about things even if they're actually meaningful to her, and she guards her feelings closely. She isn't easy to become friends with because she offers little to no emotional vulnerability, but she is fiercely loyal to those she does respect or care for. She could take or leave clan life, and doesn't really conform to a lot of the standards, including belief in StarClan. It just seems ridiculous to her. She only believes in things she's seen, and she's awfully transparent in that sense. She speaks in a crisper version of the HearthClan accent as she's from the north.

She is, in essence, an early summer night sky. Her coat, the cloying darkness. Her eyes, the glowing harvest moon. She is sleek and silent and deadly. A small cat with all the force of nature behind her. She was one of two daughters of loners; her sister was named Jumpflight and lived long enough to have a kit, Pebblepaw. Fleetstrike's father, the one to leave them there, left early into their apprenticeships. Fleetstrike deeply resents him for it, despite him having his reasons. This contributes to her lack of trust in any cat. For a long time, she leaned on her sister for that support, but when Jumpflight died, she was left with no crutch and in a world where she felt very small and very alone. She enjoys Pebblepaw's presence, though she doesn't initiate many interactions with her niece.

HONEYGLAZE
————————————————————
"orange tabby with white accents and amber eyes"
he/him. trans. attracted to anyone.
forty-eight moons. warrior. kin deceased.
————————————————————

Honeyglaze likes to think he is a good warrior (he's right), which steadies him. He has a light, youthful air about him, as he hasn't seen much tragedy in his life, and still likes to enjoy breaking the rules and overall doing what he wants. He's very gentle with everyone he interacts with, and although his name was originally meant to describe his looks, it also describes his personality. Honeyglaze makes decisions quickly and without hesitation. He's a thinker, but not one who gets bogged down in the moment. He thinks on his feet. He's also the type to hover and fret, which can be irritating at the best of times. He takes everything way too seriously, but if he won't, who will? He's always rushing about trying to get something done, as he's the type to take on too much and forget he's promised someone something.

He's orange, but leaning more on the side of tan than fire. His tabby markings are pale and definitely not the first thing noticed. His face, chest, and front paws are accented with white. He has amber eyes. He has a small, skinny frame, though his tail is a plume of fluff. He can run quickly, probably from all the practice he's had! He uses this skill to hunt in the meadows, though he also likes the mountain terrain just fine. He's not the best at battle moves, but that's due to a lack of effort; he prefers to be the brains behind the strategy rather than in the thick of it. His father was never around much and Honeyglaze isn't sure he would recognize him if he saw him. His mother, however, was a huge part of his life, and he was distraught when she died of sickness. He still gets squeamish around sick cats due to it. He also lost his sister recently, though due to wounds from a fight with a predator. This is why he frets so much - he cares, deeply so, and therefore fears the cats he cares about will be hurt.

PEARPAW
————————————————————
"patched gray-and-white cat with leafy green eyes"
they/them. genderfluid: afab. bi. warrior name: pearcrown.
eleven moons. warrior apprentice. siblings: applepaw, peachpaw.
————————————————————

Pearpaw is a calm, cool, and collected cat. Or so they try to be. Being an apprentice, they don't always succeed. However, they are carefully considerate and always willing to lend a paw, no matter the circumstances. They are somewhat reserved, but that doesn't mean they're quiet, just that they make sure to choose their words carefully. Pearpaw loves their siblings and couldn't imagine a day without them. They also really enjoy the gentle company of nature and will slip away on solo walks despite being scolded about the 'dangers of the territory' afterwards. They can take care of themselves! Pearpaw has a temper, but it comes out in huffs of indignation and some serious eye-rolling. They like to tease their fellow apprentices and though they strive to be the perfect warrior, they won't let go of that little satisfaction. Pearpaw also likes to indulge and is completely unapologetic about it.

Pearpaw has an interesting coat pattern. They have an equal mix of gray and white, which is splashed across their body haphazardly. Their thick fur sticks up at a million angles and is constantly ruffled with an 'I just woke up' look to it. It used to irritate Pearpaw, but they've taken on a nonchalant air about it now. They're a small cat, which comes in handy when training. No one expects them to be so determined and fierce. Even Pearpaw doesn't. Sparring is their favourite pass-time for this reason, and they often goad their siblings into joining in. Pearpaw and their siblings' parents were mysteriously killed, and, fearing their own safety, they all decided to join the clan for protection. Pearpaw didn't think they would love Clan life as much as they do. They're still wary about trusting any cats and fearful of going out at night.

╘───═════════════───╛

Pecansnout is a quiet and reserved she-cat, but those who are observant of her constant fidgeting and busy stares know that her mind is a perpetual clicking whirlwind. As an introvert, you won’t find this she-cat chattering up a storm for no good reason — this I stress, because she’s not not talkative, she just prefers more meaningful conversation. Because of this, Pecansnout is known to dismiss triviality and cut straight to the point; moreover, she’s good a sifting through information to uproot what really matters and will pick it apart into tiny little pieces that she can understand thoroughly. Most cats tend to overlook her because she’s more of a collected soul, but she truly does harbor a sense of humor and playfulness for those who are willing to be patient and let her warm up to them. Of course, she’s terribly jumpy and is practically scared of her own shadow, making her question her integrity as the clan’s deputy and future leader. What she doesn’t know, however, is that her inherent kindness and selflessness allows her to determine what’s right for her clanmates on an individual level, while her disdain for the unnecessary means she doesn’t speak or act without thinking first.

Pecansnout was one of two kits born to her mother, Hayberry, and her father, Hawthornclaw. She was always skittish and frightful, living in the shadow of her brother who grew into a well-loved, charming young tom. Regardless, the two of them were quite fond of each other, and Mapletrail was always prompting her to come out of her shell. Unfortunately, a mudslide took Mapletrail’s life and cost Pecansnout half of her tail. After the event the she-cat folded in on herself, but once she was selected as the clan’s new deputy, she found it within herself to do everything she could to make the most out of a position her brother dreamed of holding for himself.

Moonbliss can be a daunting cat to be around to those who aren’t aware of the facets she has to offer. She does a wonderful job of keeping up at a quiet air of don’t-mess-with-me (and to some extent, she is pretty regal and refined), but beneath that she’s rather friendly and a bit of a jokester. Quite the daredevil, it’s not unusual to find her mounting challenges at every turn, if only to have something to show off or take pride in. She’s bad and she knows it but, contrary to what most might believe, she doesn’t verbally brag about it and shove her accomplishments in other cats’ faces — most often you’ll only see her satisfaction in a puff of her chest or gleam in her eye. Clever and relatively independent, Moonbliss is someone you can count on to get something done without supervision. As adventurous and carefree as she is, she knows when to buckle down and get her paws dirty. Because of this, it can be difficult for her to place trust in others or ask for help, adding to a selfish image that some may hold of her. She won’t deny that she is proud of herself, but it’s a trait that’s exclusive from her hesitancy to be dependent on someone. In fact, she’s not all that egotistical or vain (though she can be); she loves her clanmates dearly and likes to help them succeed, which is why she can be wounded when others see her as a perfectionist when she’s just trying to show the way and set an example to those who might be struggling with certain skills.

Moonbliss and her brother, Whitepine grew up together under the watchful gaze of their mother, Silvernight. Their father had died long before he knew he was going to be a father, struck down in a nasty badger fight. Moonbliss had always been protective of her brother, and though they were the same age, it always seemed like she was older than him. The loved each other dearly, and Moonbliss was always there to guide her brother when he struggled with anything from the hunter’s crouch to a tricky battle move. As shrewd as she was, she caught on quickly to things, but Whitepine was a little slower. Whitepine recently passed away from hypothermia after diving into cold leafbare waters to save his apprentice from broken ice.

Applepaw has a quirky, thoughtful personality and is usually one to be more observant than energetic. He’s a pretty “easy” cat, meaning he’s content to be by himself, finding some quiet form of entertainment until he’s approached. He might seem bored at times, but really he’s just calm and relaxed. Alone, he’s more of a shy, quiet tom and hates being the center of attention. He can be a little sensitive but usually keeps his emotions hidden away, as he doesn’t really like talking about his personal feelings to other cats; thus, it can be difficult to get him to open up. With this in mind, if you can visibly see how upset he is about something, you know it’s serious. When he’s with other cats, he enjoys simple fun like telling jokes or making up stories since he’s never been a fan of activities that require a lot of energy or tussling. This might give off the impression that he’s lazy, but really he just prefers more laid-back experiences. Because he secretly harbors a love for competition, there are times where he can’t resist joining in on some rowdiness. It’s rare for him to back down from a challenge, mostly because he doesn’t like to be seen as weak or timid despite his more docile and laid-back nature.
