EDIT: By the way, my vote is staying Appletwig.
[ alright! hopefully my work goes to good use. you can interpret this however you'd like - the most important thing to me is if they are inactive everywhere, they probably aren't the killer. in addition, i find people who are active elsewhere but very inactive here could be lurking to avoid suspicion. i bolded people who are very inactive here but active elsewhere.
activity levels:
format: username/character: last time posted on this thread, activity level elsewhere
Areater/Graystar (me): posted this kill, active elsewhere
Swiftlet/Foxtail: posted last kill, active elsewhere
Donut Warrior/Appletwig: posted this kill, active elsewhere
MyLostShadow/Hawkwing: posted last kill, inactive elsewhere

~MacManus~/Burningkit: can't be the murderer because burningkit was saved by the guard when attacked
Bumbletear/Ghostkit: posted this kill, active elsewhere
riffingirl4everx3/Grasskit: posted this kill, active elsewhere
i know this sort of thing isn't normally used in this game but i figured what the heck ;v;
this took me so long send help
IN ADDITION i also think it's important to analyze why spicecookie, a witness, chose to vote for appletwig!
possible witness hints they could have received: tom, yellow eyes, red-brown (red or brown?), tabby, adult, medicine-related or "powerful role" (leader, deputy, medicine cat, etc.)
and now to list which cats fit each of the traits...i won't list the usernames this time! i think the most likely hints of the ones i listed are the physical traits that could easily be observed at a glimpse (adult, yellow eyes, and color)
tom: foxtail, appletwig, hawkwing, robinmask, jaycloud, deerleg, jaggedleaf, honeypaw, bristlepaw, nettlepaw, grasskit
yellow eyes: appletwig, orchidpaw, poppyspots (amber), tawnykit (amber)
red: appletwig, robinmask
brown: appletwig, hawkwing, deerleg, grasskit
red-brown: appletwig, poppyspots, burningkit
tabby: appletwig, hawkwing, jaycloud, mistypelt, honeypaw (not specified in description but shown in picture), bristlepaw, nettlepaw, silverwing (faded), grasskit
adult: appletwig, graystar, foxtail, hawkwing, robinmask, jaycloud, deerleg, jaggedleaf, fawnleap, mistypelt
"powerful" role: graystar, appletwig ]
