Username: Silver Pandorica
Name: Twitch
Rank: Food Gatherer
Proof of level: x
Personality: "You're joking, right?" Twitch flicked his tail in irritation, biting his tongue to keep from mouthing off at the tribe leader, Glacier. He was already on thin ice. If he did so much as throw an insult, he could be assigned to clean-up duties for a week. Still, Twitch hated Glacier's suggestion.

"We need a food gatherer, Twitch," the leader began, glancing over his shoulder at the young mouse. "It isn't that bad. I used to do it in my old tribe back when I was much younger."

Twitch's whiskers quivered and he sprinted to catch up to the mouse. "But wouldn't I best be placed somewhere else?" He grasped at any idea that popped inside his head. "Builder, border runner, lookout?"

Glacier shook his head. "I've made my decision." With a serious expression, he turned towards Twitch. "Every member of a tribe is important, no matter what their responsibilities. We need balance. In order for us to function smoothly, every mouse must play their part. Your part, in the grand scheme of things, is to gather food for the rest of the tribe. If you have a problem with that..." The corners of his mouth curled upwards. "There is other dirty-work I can assign you to."

Twitch wrinkled his nose in disgust. Cleaning up after the other mice did not sound appealing. Lowering his gaze to the ground, he gave in. "No, sir. I'll take the job."

Twitch is an energetic, spunky young mouse with a lot of heart. He hasn't been in the tribe for very long, but is fitting in just fine. Most of the time, he is very likable and easy to get along with, though he does have a bit of an attitude. Twitch isn't very excited about being a measly food gatherer, but in order to prove himself to Glacier and the rest of the tribe, he's willing to take it on.

Username: StormSerpent
Name: Hawk
Rank: Builder
Proof of level: ♥♥♥
Personality:

In the cover of shadows, Hawk surveyed the camp. His tail twitched nervously as he watched the mice scurrying about. He watched them work in harmony, and he felt a strange urge to join them. But as usual he pulled himself back. What if he did something wrong? What if he tried to talk to them, but he stuttered, and the mice were trying to figure out what he said, so they stopped working on what they were doing. But they were enforcing the camp, and while they were distracted something came loose. And the entire camp fell down. And the entire tribe was wiped out. No he shouldn’t try to talk to them, not if he wanted the tribe to survive. One small action could be catastrophic. He started backing away and suddenly stopped. There was someone behind him wasn’t there. He slowly turned around and saw Rowan. He held his breath as her sharp gaze bored into him. He wanted to run, he had to run. But if he ran, she would chase him, and he might trip, and she’d go flying past him over a ledge, never to be seen again. The tribe would then banish him for killing their founder, and would use him as target practice for the mice in training. No he couldn’t run, he realised he needed to say something “Hi” was the only thing he could think of and so that’s what he said. Rowan clicked her tongue disapprovingly. “You should bow to me” she told him coldly. Embarrassment filled him, he knew that. Why hadn’t he. Now she was going to sever his head wasn’t she. He hurriedly bowed as she frowned intensely. A cold grin crossed her face. He looked up at her again his face flushing with embarrassment. She smirked “ah, now that’s better. What have you gotten done today?” she asked Hawk. He tried to think, he’d just been watching the camp, but surely he’d done some stuff today. Right? “I strengthened the frame of the camp, and designed some plans for your place.” he said. After he finished, he realised how lame that sounded. Why hadn’t he joined those other mice, then he could have said he’d done that too. Until he remembered the disastrous effect that could have caused. Rowan nodded curtly and turned away.



Rowan stood atop a ledge as she examined her tribe. Everything was normal, the mice were working, until she saw one of the newer tribe members, Hawk lurking in the shadows. She silently leapt down, and swept up behind him. She frowned as he started backing towards her. Until he stopped and turned around. He didn’t seem surprised to see her, he just stood there with an unreadable expression. Had he been spying on her camp? He spoke up “Hi” he said. He wasn’t admitting anything. She needed time to plan out what she would say. He…. wasn’t bowing down to her. So she snapped at him to bow. Maybe he would have a reaction to that. He took the order and bowed low. When he looked back up his face was still unreadable. She had decided what she was going to say “What have you gotten done today?” she questioned. He answered promptly. And she nodded and leapt away to think. Was this Hawk fellow just simple minded? Or was he cleverly masking his emotions? She supposed she’d find out someday.


Overall Hawk always assumes the worst will happen. He has extreme social anxiety. And is very intelligent.
But little does he know his emotions never actually show. Most other mice see him as some sort of antisocial rock wall that follows orders.

Ah, I had wanted to see if I could think up a short story for my entry but couldn’t really think of anything and didn’t want to rush/put out something less-than-good right at the end. So oh well~

Good luck to everyone, though- you guys thought up some cool personalities! <3
