shamelessly double-posting to talk about friendships for my characters:
@spiritstar - would you be okay with shadowheart being close with both wolfshadow and bearjaw? bearjaw is a jovial cat, and would have been very welcoming to shadow when he joined the clan; wolf is around bear often so would be present for a lot of the interactions bear and shadow have, and i think she'd admire his capability as a warrior in spite of his poor eyesight.
@queen - could smolderleaf have a sort of motherly bond with leopardshadow? they were quite young when they came to the clan, and he would have been very appreciative of an older cat looking out for him. if you're okay with it, i'd like both smolder and crow to be close with her, visit her often, and have a strong bond with her c:
also - would you be okay with smolder having been mushroomshard's mentor when he joined the clan? it would have been a short, few moon apprenticeship to teach him the ways of the clan since he was a former outsider, but smolder is a very fatherly tom and probably would have tried to help mushroom fit in. unless mushroom's only joined very recently, just lmk! either way, smolder could be a role-model that looks out for him. c:
i saw you'd listed it in your form; i'm not sure how well wolfshadow and brightwing would have gotten along, given their extremely different values and personalities. if you'd like them to be friends still, perhaps bright could have been wolf's very first apprentice? despite their differences and how frustrated i'm sure wolf would have been on occasion with bright, that would still have given them a special bond, since wolf is the type of cat to be very proud of her work and bright has become a fine warrior.
@junipurr - i think wolfshadow and honeybreeze would get along nicely. wolf is more of a reserved, sharp-tongued cat, and it seems honeybreeze is a bit bolder with it than she is. i think wolfshadow would enjoy being around her just to hear her run her mouth lolol
i also think bearjaw and lionheart would make good friends!
and lostpaw and daisypaw - she would have been VERY interested (and invasively curious) in lostpaw's history outside of the clan; especially since she knows she has roots in the outsider world, with her grandmother having left the clan with a loner before having crow and her father. i think she'd really have taken a liking to him and would be quick to defend him from any snide comments about his past.
one more thing as i go through forms: would you be okay with bearjaw having been rosethorn's mentor when she was finishing her apprenticeship in roseclan? he would have been very welcoming and would have been a good mentor choice to help her fit in.
@rogan - i think morning and crow could have a special bond. since they often work together closely, i feel like morning would be crow's closest confidante (other than smolder, of course, though he can share more with morning as the clan leader), and he'd find a lot of comfort in the older tom's presence. he'd probably have come to think of morning as a father figure.
also: smolder and crow (and warbler) all come from a colony of rogues in the twolegplace headed by their father, gust - if you'd like, that's where curlew and shrike could have originated from! like warbler, many cats would have abandoned the group when things got bad after gust went a lil crazy. totally fine if you'd rather they came from a different place, too!
