❀ INTRODUCTION❀ Your weary paws welcome the soft moss under them as you enter a clearing. A cool breeze blows past, shaking the branches above you. Heavy with pink flowers, their bright petals scatter across the ground and float through the air. The night sky is a clear, dark shade of blue and the stars twinkle brightly in the distance, alongside a full, pale moon. The air is humid and a distinct earthy smell hits your nose, emanating from the freshly rained on ground.
Tired from a long stretch of travelling, you’ve start to let your guard down and your gaze drifts to an inviting patch of moss, nestled under a rock. Eager to finally rest you make your way over to it at a faster pace than usual, but a the sound of rustling leaves causes you to freeze in your tracks. A group of about four cats emerges from the growth and enters the clearing. Your hackles raise slightly but you try to remain calm - maybe they’re just wanderers like yourself.
After what felt like a long pause, although it was only a few seconds, one who seemed in charge of the tiny group took a step forward. “This is FloretClan territory. Who are you, and what is your business here?”

❀ RULES❀ ➤ [ i ] LITERACY : At least semi-literate posts would fit best with us! We understand typos and such, of course, but if all of your posts are incomprehensible or hard to understand, then perhaps somewhere else may be a better fit. Try not to write one-liners as a starter or as a reply, since that can be difficult to work with. Especially if one person writes a lot, it’s just an etiquette thing to provide an equal or almost equal amount of content to work with.
➤ [ ii ] CHARACTERS : You’re allowed to have multiple characters! As of now, our character limit is 8 cats! This may be changed as time goes on and our clan grows! Of course, the basic rules apply-- no godmodding/powerplaying, killing without permission, and make your characters reasonable and realistic. No Mary Sues or characters without any flaws. A flaw cannot be a tragic past, either. Look up some negative traits, and apply them to your cats! Along with this, please keep the genders around even. Non-binary cats are allowed, and I know there won’t be a lot, but I mostly mean keep toms and she-cats at a 1:1 ratio, or at least close. If you have 3 she-cats and no toms, you will be stagnant and not allowed to create any more she-cats. Prefixes can be used a total of 3 times until they can't be used anymore. Once a cat with that prefix, dies, it'll become available again!
➤ [ iii ]OUTSIDE INTERACTION : If you’re trying to get someone to come back to wherever, just shoot them a PM or mention them in the thread. We kind of want to avoid any clutter, which is why we have an out of character page and joining page! Along with this, no kit-_____ing or anything. Ask any questions you have about our clan in the out of character page! I can promise I’ll see it when I’m online.
➤ [ iv ] ACTIVITY : We’re not incredibly strict on activity-- but we do have a goal to become a dedicated long-term roleplay! If you want to be a high rank such as medicine cat, leader, or deputy, at some point, you absolutely must try to be as active as possible! We understand life can get busy, of course, but the effort is appreciated. At one week of inactivity, we’ll give you a warning. At two weeks, a second warning will be given. And at three weeks, you will be removed from the clan.
➤ [ v ] OOC INTERACTION : If you’re trying to have out-of-character conversations, please check out our OOC talk page! Don’t make OOC-only posts in the main thread, but if you have some OOC commentary to add to an rp post, you’re free to add it on so long as you indicate in some way that it’s OOC. Using {}, [], or () is preferable -- but if you have a personal layout with an indicative ‘OOC’ and ‘IC’ tag, that’s okay too.
➤ [ vi ] SPAM : Please don’t. Advertising anything in our group without my explicit consent is spam, as well as posting a ton of irrelevant posts. Don’t share random links, either. We don’t want to click them.
➤ [ vii ] RELATIONSHIPS : No roleplaying both cats in a relationship. To keep the roleplay inclusive of everyone, relationships should be spread out. This means mates, mentor and apprentice, crushes, and family. It’s understandable that as family lines get more complicated that you may end up playing cats in the same family tree, but see if anyone else would like to cooperate in making the kits to a new litter or see if anyone would like to be in a relationship with your cats.
➤ [ viii ] SUBPLOTS : If you want any big plot-related things to happen that will affect multiple characters, please check with an admin first. We’ll usually say yes, so long as it’s not against the rules or entirely out of place or something! Make sure whenever you want to have a relationship or something a little smaller, that the admins have a general idea about it.
➤ [ ix ] KINDNESS : Please be kind and respectful to others! Bullying or hate speech such as racism, homophobia, etc. will not be tolerated. Be inclusive, as well. If someone expresses feeling left out, offer them one of your characters for something!
➤ [ x ] CLONING : Cloning, for those of you who don't know, is allowing for your character to be in up to two roleplay threads at once. In this clan: it's completely allowed! The one thing we ask is that in some way or another, it's indicated that your second thread is going on at a different time than the first, to avoid any confusion! Cloning can be used when your roleplay partner isn't as active, or if you have a long thread that you feel like you're locked into with a character that you want to use elsewhere. Each character can be in a max of two separate threads simultaneously.

❀ HISTORY❀ A long time ago, FloretClan wandered the paths of their current territory with no real purpose. They were a band of rogues -- only really one for all and all for one. They stayed as a group, but didn’t trust each other much. It wasn’t until they met a old brown tabby while wandering the forest that they considered anything else than their selfish, unguided lifestyle. He was from something he called a ‘clan’, and told them tall tales of his time as a warrior until he fled due to being unjustly accused for something he didn’t do. But that’s all they considered the stories of being a warrior. Just tall tales. In fact, they dismissed him after he had told the stories and laughed up a storm about it.
Well they were busy walking through the forest, looking for prey and cracking jokes about the clan lifestyle, that they experienced something incredible. The wind started to pick up around the small group, and petals from the full-bloomed sakura trees started to breeze around them. And suddenly, the morning sky, which was bright and filled with color, seemed to get even darker. The sun that shone brightly overhead was slowly being covered by a black orb. The cats all turned their heads toward each other, realizing the signs together all at once.
They let the cold breeze fill their fur, and lifted their heads once again towards the sky to watch the disk cover the sun until it was only a ring in the sky. They stared until the brightness came back, and looked back at each other. Everything seemed to make sense, all of a sudden. The jokes they had made seemed foolish, and the concepts of warriors battling for the sake of a ‘StarClan’ didn’t seem too far-fetched. A petal from a cherry blossom tree landed on a gray she-cat’s forehead, and she looked cross-eyed as it remained there. From that moment on, they seeked guidance about the ways from the old brown tom. From then on, it was sharing prey and developing traditions that remain in place to this day.

❀ TERRITORY❀ FloretClan’s territory is located in a relatively secluded area in Japan, underneath a cliffside with a gigantic waterfall at a low-medium current that splits off into two streams. The forest that is west to the camp is filled with sakura trees, which bloom in newleaf. Aside from the excessive amounts of sakura trees, there’s a giant sycamore right near the camp with the bottom of the trunk hollowed out. The camp is a shallow gully: a pond once and now dried out, concealed in a flower meadow by tall grass and rose bushes. ➤ River: Funerals are held here. Upon death, a cat’s flower will be sent down the river along with many blue flowers, symbolic of the cat leaving to go to StarClan. There are often fish that are a little ways downstream, and plenty in the pond that connects the two rivers. ➤ Pond: The pond has small to medium sized fish in it. It has its own current, albeit low. The east river’s current flows into the pond, and the west river’s current flows away from the pond. There are some stepping stones that allow for those who need to to reach the Moonfalls. ➤ Great Sycamore: A huge tree. Lots of prey can be found around here. The bottom of the trunk has been hollowed out for Twoleg kits! A plump, old owl lives in the high branches, but no cat is able to sink their claws into it. ➤ Moonfalls: A cave behind the waterfall. Medicine cats visit here on every half-moon to seek guidance from StarClan, and new leaders stay here for the night to gain their nine lives. ➤ Cliffside: Theoretically climbable, it is separated from the cats by the stretch of the river. It could be reached with the pond’s stepping stones, but nobody has tried yet. The waterfall falls off the cliff, and tilting your head up will only show more sakura trees. ➤ Twolegplace: A twoleg den on the edge of FloretClan territory. It is still active, as indicative of the occasional smoke pouring out of the chimney. However, Twolegs don’t seem to come out to play as often as they did many moons ago. ➤ Garden: A patch of flowers and some herbs, planted and cared for by the medicine cats and elders.
❀ CAMP ❀ FloretClan’s camp is located in a shallow gully in the meadow. The gully was once a pond -- about a fox-length deep and flat, before it was dried out. Because it is a dried out pond, the ground is cracked stone, and the sides are hardened dirt. The gully is lined by thorned rose bushes to keep out intruders and predators.There is one entrance, hidden in the rose bushes, that has the thorns cleared out. ➤ Softslope: A pile of earth, in a slope shape, allowed cats to climb out of the camp through the thornless area of the rose bushes. ➤ Halftree: The speaking place for the leader of the clan, and perchance the deputy or medicine cat if need be. It is a wide stump, tall and hollow inside but with a steady flat roof. There is an opening with hanging moss to act as a ‘curtain’ hanging down. The leader sleeps inside the stump. ➤ Leader’s den: A hollowed out tree stump, with a flat roof. The entrance is hanging moss. To make the den more roomier, some of the decaying wood has been dug out. There is soft moss for bedding. ➤ Warriors’ den: A tunnel dug into the side of the camp, about 6 tail-lengths wide and 2 ½ tail-lengths tall, with the entrance being 2 tail-lengths wide. There are several bedding places. More space is dug out when new warriors are made.. ➤ Apprentice’s den: Adjacent to the Warriors den, it is also a dug-out tunnel about the same dimensions of the Warriors’ den. More room is dug out when new apprentices are made. ➤ Medicine cat’s den: A mini-cave -- a smooth and round rock with a entrance you have to squeeze into, but is nice and roomy on the inside. There are plenty of herbs here for your picking! ➤ Elder’s den: A large dome shape made of tree branches adjacent to the medicine cat’s den. Also nearest to the entrance, for easier access to getting to the Garden. ➤ Nursery: An impenetrable tangle of brambles,very roomy for both the queens and the constantly growing kits. ➤ Freshkill Pile: In the center of camp, a small divot in the ground that allows for fresh-kill to be placed.

❀CLAN SPECIFIC INFO❀ FloretClan cats originated from a group or rogues from a nearby Twolegplace, and were once very diverse in build and facial structure. But as time has gone on, hundreds of moons have passed and FloretClan has developed a very standard build except for the occasional stray cat who finds their way into the clan. These cats are known for their strong, big paws that they'll never quite grow into from walking on the cracked stone of their camp. Their faces are soft and round, and their bodies are slim underneath their fur that tends to fluff out and indicate that they might be bigger cats. The cats have tall ears, which makes their sense of hearing excel. They aren't the fastest -- in fact, they're quite patient cats. Because of this, catching a rabbit takes the fastest cat in the clan. Instead, FloretClan is great at hunting prey that need a careful step to catch. Mice, birds, and squirrels are the most common in the fresh-kill pile.
But here comes the most unique thing about these cats -- flowers, and how much they mean to them. All cats are named after a plant or a flower -- taking in consideration it's meaning and the color of the flower or plant. In love with the cherry blossoms, they have a traditional festival every year once they're in full bloom. They believe that flowers have healing properties, similar to an herb, just by smelling the sweet scent. They have a sort of developed horticulture. Of course, not on the level of humans, but they have learned how doing different things to the flowers helps them grow better and stronger. Medicine cats have the best knowledge on flower-growing, teaching it to the elders who tend to appreciate having something to do. Medicine cats' knowledge of horticulture is just as important as their knowledge of herbs, and you can't have one without the other. The worst case scenario for the clan would be if all of their flowers began to show decay. They'd take it personally, and absolutely as an omen that something bad is about to happen.
❀ FLOWER ACCESSORIES ❀ In FloretClan, all cats are adorned with a flower that marks their status symbol and plays a big part in the religion of the clan. The flowers are worn on the ear of the cats, tied on the ear by their stem. For an example, look at the drawing of Rosestar on the right. Because these cats have developed horticulture, the flowers last for a very long time, and it is considered a bad omen when something may happen to the flower -- for example, if the flower begins to wilt, or if a petal falls off. Most people assume once a flower starts to wilt, the affected cat will be soon to die. Bad things will often happen, such as catching greencough. Kits are not given flowers, making apprenticehood ever more desirable for kits to look forward to. It's also tradition that, along with a vigil, cats that have died have their flower sent downstream with a batch of blue flowers, symbolizing their leave to StarClan. ➤ Pink flowers are symbolic of the ever-so-important cherry blossom, so they are adorned by the leader. ➤ Peach flowers, similar in color to pink, are also a very high honor considering their rarity in the meadow. They are granted to the deputy. ➤ White flowers are representative of medicine and curing, so they are granted to the high honor of medicine cats who not only save lives, but cultivate the ever-precious flowers. ➤ Red flowers, the color of blood, represent the toughness and the fighting spirit that must be had by all warriors, thus it is worn by them. ➤ Orange flowers show a certain naivety, yet willingness. As well, they are similar in color to red, yet not quite the burning scarlet. Because of these reasons, they are worn by apprentices. ➤ Yellow flowers often are associated with fertility and innocence, and naturally, are worn by mothers of the clan's precious kits, queens. ➤ Purple flowers are considered symbolic of old age, wisdom, and being wealthy. It's an obvious fit for the elders or FloretClan. ➤ Blue flowers are very spiritual for FloretClan. They pretty much physically represent StarClan, and is the most plentiful in the clan's garden, due to new ones being planted every time a cat is to die, and lots being stored for the death of a clan cat. ➤ When a petal falls off or the flower starts wilting, it is considered a bad omen, and watchful eyes are kept on the cat who experiences any sort of flower decay.

❀ ALLEGIANCES❀ male / female / non-binary ❀ LEADER ❀Rosestar | 35 moons Apprentice: N/A ★★★★★★★★☆Rosestar is a fluffy, soft peach-brown tabby she-cat. Her underbelly is a softer peach color, running from her chin to the base of her tail. Her tail is rather fluffy, and the tip is dipped in the same light peach of her underbelly. Her back right paw is the off-white peach color, as well. She has brown stripes along her body, especially on her legs in a criss-crossing pattern. Her face and back have scarcer stripes, but they are slightly more prominent looking. Above her eyes, there are two eye dots and a star shape. When Rosestar -- then Rosefoot -- was a warrior, she was quiet and unassuming. She did her warrior duties, of course, but she definitely wasn't the leader type back then. But, she had the curse of friendship with the old deputy. The old deputy who had constantly been telling her to push herself out of her comfort zone. The old deputy who believed she had the capability to do anything. He pushed her to constantly lead patrols, he taught her new ways to fight, he helped her overcome her fears of facing leadership. When he became leader, Rosefoot had shown so much growth, that he figured she needed just one more step -- becoming deputy. She was anxious just being deputy back then, but ever since the old leader and friend she came to knew had lost all of his lives so quickly, she has a newfound courage to improve herself and let herself grow into the leader he wanted her to be. She is often worried, and kind of unsure when it comes to making decisions. Rosestar is very reliant on others, and runs her clan almost side-by-side with her deputy. But still, she knows when it's important to remain brave and strong like she was trained to be. And in the end, she'd do anything for her clan. { written by: jer bear ! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ } ❀ DEPUTY ❀Petunianose | 23 moons Apprentice: BloompawPetunianose is a muscular cat of considerable bulk, masked by a copious amount of fluff. Being a dark brown tabby, stripes run across his body along with the classic tabby markings on his face. His muzzle has a spot of milky white that runs down to form what is almost a bib of snowy white fur, and his underbelly is a lighter mottled grey that extends to about the halfway point of the underside of his tail. He possesses a few small scars, but almost all of them are hidden by his long fur. Many of his features would typically be considered relatively handsome by most, save his astoundingly pink nose. Petunia was named for the bright, spotless coloring of his nose and was bullied for it by other kits and young apprentices. Though the name-calling seized as everyone aged it still left him with raging insecurity, although he hides it well. As a kit and apprentice he didn’t have a shining personality either and was generally cocky and disruptive, and not well liked by the older generations at all due to blatant disrespect. As he got older, he quickly started to mellow out and come to his senses, realizing that he wasn’t going to get anywhere with his previous attitude. Towards the end of his apprenticeship he started to shape up and take head of his elders words, though it was too late to gain favor with many. He is convinced that the previous leader chose to name him “Petunianose” just to spite him, but no one will ever really know. His current personality is much more laid-back than that of his youth. He’s a flirt, though perhaps not the best at it. He sees himself as charming and witty, however his excessive use of bad puns and not-so-subtle pick up lines indicate otherwise. Due to insecurities, he has somewhat of a macho complex and strives to appear tough and masculine, although he’s rather soft at heart. In addition to that he takes criticism rather poorly, and is prone to lash out even if the criticism is warranted. Petunianose is dedicated to the clan and fiercely loyal to Rosestar, whom he considers a good friend and a competent leader. { written by: altaid } ❀ MEDICINE CATS ❀Mintgaze | 23 moons Apprentice: NettlepawMintgaze is a small, gray-and-black tabby tom. His underbelly, paws, muzzle, and the tips of his ears are a light gray color. He has a short, fluffy tail. On his face, there are markings above his eyes. His name comes from his striking green eyes. Mintgaze is a soft-spoken cat who appreciates his time alone. He's fairly mild-mannered, and tends to be a bit on the awkward side. It wasn't long after he became an apprentice that he realized he had a hard time keeping up with the other warriors' apprentices, and as such, eventually was taken on as a medicine cat apprentice instead. Despite not being thrilled about this originally, Mintgaze quickly settled into his new duties and found himself much more comfortable as a medicine cat. It wasn't long until StarClan appointed him his new name.{ written by: ang ♡ } Yarrowmoon | 27 moons Apprentice: N/AYarrowmoon is a pale cream-colored tabby cat with fluffy fur. Their coat sports many whorled markings ranging from light grey to brown, the pattern of which not unlike a bengal cat. Perhaps their most distinctive features are their long, fluffy tail, the markings spattered across their forehead, and their pale grey eyes. Even as a kit, they had always been drawn to the more peaceful side of clan life — expressing a strong interest in horticulture and continually being drawn to stories of StarClan. While their lithe body may have made them a strong contender to become a warrior, there was no question about the path the stars had laid out for them. Yarrowmoon is a highly spiritual and holistic cat, even for a medicine cat — constantly seeking guidance from nature and studying the world around them. One could say that they’re a little eccentric, even mysterious at times — but maybe that’s just because they see the world a little differently than the rest. They are a bit of a loner because of their lifestyle, though still a kind and helpful cat. However, Yarrowmoon can be a bit paranoid — seeing signs and omens in the rustles of the leaves — but it has yet to stop them from doing their duty to the Clan.{ written by: storm } Nettlepaw | 11 moons Mentor: MintgazeNettlepaw is a long limbed, slender-bodied, lilac-point siamese tom-cat. He has a sleek, soft and short white base coat and greyish colored points on his face, ears, paws and tail, and adorns big blue eyes. Appearance-wise he is quite eye-catching, but personality-wise there is just something incredibly off-putting about him that makes you question why he decided to work with herbs and healing in the first place if he's going to be so sour. Nettlepaw is a bit awkward and sharp-tongued, always on the defense and usually for no reason at all but that he felt mildly threatened. Although he can be a bit of a mood-kill, the tom is really quite thoughtful and lovable when you finally get through the thick brambles of his personality and befriend him - once you befriend Nettlepaw you have a cat who will have your back for life.{ written by: Morticat }

❀ ALLEGIANCES❀ male / female / non-binary ❀ WARRIORS ❀Brunneamist | 20 moons Apprentice: IrispawBrunneamist is a blue-gray tom with white markings on his chest, muzzle, nose bridge, underbelly, and paws in the shape of a ‘tuxedo’. His body is lithe and slender, with very little muscle. His eyes were once a bright blue, but after a devastating injury from when he was a fresh apprentice, one of his eyes has gone missing and is scarred over and left slightly open. His other eye has gone from it’s once-bright color to a much more misty blue. Brunneamist keeps to himself, partly due to his own arrogance. He doesn’t show much loyalty, either, he is just simply content with his current condition. Cats might wonder why Brunneamist doesn’t just leave clan and become a loner for the ‘lone wolf’ style he claims to seek. The truth is, he finds unity in his clan, and would feel lost without them. Despite his sense of superiority, everyone is equal in this clan, and he’s needed something where he’s felt levelled for a very long time.{ written by: jer bear ! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ } Alderdapple | 13 moons Apprentice: DahliapawAlderdapple is a tree bark-brown tom, with fur that is messier and curlier than the typical FloretClan cat. All over his fur are freckles of a darker brown, along with several patches. There are darker brown patches on the tip of his short, fluffy tail, underneath his chin, along his back, hind legs, and shoulders, and on the tips of his ears. His eyes are olive green, mixed with the dark green color of the leaves from the Great Sycamore. Alderdapple is very hyperactive, and adores talking and talking and taaaaaalking about all the stuff that he loves. He lives for the unknown, remaining a curious cat who investigates everything he finds strange when he knows it’s safe. He finds himself in trouble often, sneaking out to find different ‘secrets’ in the forest. When he was younger, he noticed he looked different than most of the other cats, and theorized that he was a strange case and actually came from a far away place…. Despite being born in the camp. He is often considered the most paranoid, always being the first cat to notice a wilting flower or a night with a dim Silverpelt.{ written by: jer bear ! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ } Daisyheart | 24 moons Apprentice: WillowpawDaisyheart is a pale yellow she-cat with a light underbelly that reaches up to her face, slightly above her eyes, in a double arch shape. Her eyes are the color of heather, and often shine brightly with passion. Her facial expression is usually cold, but she's sparky and full of personality underneath. She's snarky and sarcastic, with quick wit and a sharp tongue. She's very interested in those around her, and holds a strong sense of curiosity for the unknown. When she wonders about something, she often seeks out to find the answer first-hand. Because of the recent loss of many warriors, Daisyheart wishes to prove herself as a strong warrior to her clan. She works very hard, often being the first volunteer for territory and hunting patrols, and shows fierce loyalty.{ written by: ang ♡ } Daffodilleap | 28 moons Apprentice: ColumbinepawA soft, fluffy cat, with a pelt the color of bright flames. They have ginger-brown marks along the points of their body: tail, paws, face, and ears. Along their back and a little ways down their legs, they are speckled with ginger-brown dots. Their eyes are leaf green, often in an expression of determination. They are certainly sure to stand out against the pink and green of the FloretClan territory! But in what they lack in stealth, they more than make up for in passion. They’re not the most skilled fighter or hunter, but they always give everything their all for their clan. The times they show the most skill is when their passion reaches its ‘boiling point’, such as when someone close to them seems to be in danger. They seem to fault most in their stubborness. When they think what they’re doing is the right way, you won’t hear the end of it until they get their way. As well, they’re nosy in everyone else’s business and the elders will often scold them for eavesdropping on the clan gossip that the elders are spreading. { written by: jer bear ! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ } Ginkoleaf | 14 moons Apprentice: N/AGinkoleaf is a classic ginger tabby with a slim build. His fur is short and striped, and his tail is rather long and skinny. He was named after the bright white patch of fur on his face shaped very much like a ginko leaf. Along with a lock of white hair on his chest as well, his underbelly is pale orange mixed with white and his right front paw looks like it was delicately dipped in a bucked up paint primer. His lengthy tail is topped off with a white tip. His nose is pale pink and his eyes are a mix of yellow and green. A brand new warrior, Ginkoleaf takes his job very seriously - a little too seriously at times. He is easily embarrassed and enjoys spending time with cats younger than him as he feels like he can let loose and be himself. One of his favorite things is spending time playing with kits. He’s a blatant suck-up and is desperate to be in good favor with anyone even mildly important, and he dreams of being the deputy or even leader one day. However when things don’t go his way, he is very prone to acting moody and child-like.{ written by: altaid } Heatherfall | 19 moons Apprentice: MossypawHeatherfall is a sleek, lithe, small cat. Her fur is white with patches of gray, and darker gray stripes on her face and down her back and tail. She has bright yellow eyes. She’s particularly agile and quick on her feet and is skilled at climbing. She’s a friendly enough cat, and is fairly easy to get along with. She cares a lot about her friends, and is perhaps a bit naive. She tries her hardest to get along with everyone and make everyone happy. She’s a peacemaker, and absolutely can’t stand tension between others. { written by: ang ♡ } Lupinewhisker | 21 moons Apprentice: CloverpawLupinewhisker is patient with those around her but won't hesitate to give her two cents / express her ideas or opinions. Lupinewhisker often daydreams and you can most times find her lying down and zoned out. Even, when speaking her opinion, Lupinewhiskers voice is always soft and somewhat calm. Despite most of this, Lupinewhisker suffers from paranoia which constantly leaves her doubtful and untrusting of her relationships and clanmates. She is a "blue" (blue tinted gray) cat with folded ears (Scottish fold) and no tail. She has thick yet short fur and stands at an average stature/frame for a female cat. Lupinewhisker has been in FloretClan for whole life. She quite enjoys the area.{ written by: Voidastral } Sorrelshade | 31 moons Apprentice: ZinniapawA slender, long-legged light colored grey tabby she-cat with pale green eyes and tufted ears. Her lithe and slender figure makes her swift in battle and quick on her feet during hunting, though she lacks the muscle that other cats may have that allow them to use brute force to take down their enemies and prey, but she doesn't let her size bring her down. Her small figure matches her personality almost perfectly, as the she-cat is quite soft-spoken and gentle, almost having an older motherly figure energy about her. She has a big heart which can sometimes be her downfall as she lets others in far too easily, often spilling her life story on the spot and revealing her feelings to anyone who will listen. She is quite a dreamer and enjoys spending time by herself to regenerate, but Sorrelshade also greatly enjoys spending an afternoon with her clan-mates collaborating in a hunting patrol. Although she is one of the kindest cats you will come across, she can be especially snappy when she feels like she isn't being listened to or when cats are being nasty towards one another.{ written by: Morticat } Ivywhisker | 16 moons Apprentice: N/AWith a strong set of shoulders, green eyes, no tail and muscles rippling underneath all the fluffy fur, Ivywhisker is a large dilute calico cat with a base coat of white and patches of light grey, dark grey, and pale orange and she isn't worried about getting her paws dirty in the battlefield. She learned young that the best way to rise to glory was through the claws and the snap of your teeth. As accurate or false as that may be, it is what Ivywhisker lives for. She excuses it as loyalty to her Clan and love for her clan-mates, but really the she-cat simply finds all her enjoyment in the thrill of the chase, tackle and shred. Other than being one of the feistiest felines among her peers, she is also a flirt with a huge sense of curiosity for the world.{ written by: Morticat } Basilclaw | 28 moons Apprentice: N/ABasilclaw is a large, short-pelted tuxedo tom. He has golden-brown eyes, the right one of which is missing after an accident in apprenticehood. He has a long scar across his right side, and is missing half of his right ear. Basilclaw is a fierce and rebellious tom, who always seems to be fighting back. He hates being told what to do, and is a natural leader. He is very charismatic and ambitious, and aims to be deputy someday. However, because of his rebellious attitude, that is unlikely to ever happen. Basilclaw grew up without his biological parents, as they mysteriously died in a drowning shortly after his birth. However, he was adopted, and grew up semi-normally. He lost his right eye and half of his right ear in an overzealous battle training session in apprenticehood, but recovered well, and became a warrior soon afterwards. Basilclaw is bisexual.{ written by: Sparkly } Pansyfall | 20 moons Apprentice: OrchidpawPansyfall is a pale gray she-cat with a white chest, paws, and a blaze above her nose. She has round blue eyes, and a rather short and stout body type. This she-cat isn’t one to speak out, and would rather let others discuss for her. She fears she won’t be brave enough to warn others of danger one day. However, she enjoys making friends and spending time with other cats, even if she isn’t doing the socializing. Her words are soft spoken, but not thought out well sometimes, so she’ll trip over her words if she’s thinking faster than she can talk. If she can gather the courage, her skill in strategy and planning shines. Pansyfall is a lesbian.{ written by: ✨ nissabug ✨ } ❀ APPRENTICES ❀Willowpaw | 9 moons Mentor: DaisyheartA she-cat, mostly black except for her underbelly, front paws, and the entirety of her big fluffy tail which are all a lighter gray. Her eyes are a soft, sweet blue that’s entertwined with hints of gray. Willowpaw is clearly very confident and sly, but she comes off majorly sweet the most. She knows exactly what she’s doing, and exactly what she should do to get things done. She faults in the fact that the moment she’s just littlest bit ticked off, her outbursts can be very harsh and sometimes violent. When she’s passionate about something, she will do anything she possibly can to get what she wants. If anything, she isn’t a quitter. In the end, she just wants the people she loves to be happy with her. She is excellent in battle, and pretty decent at hunting as well. { written by: jer bear ! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ } Dahliapaw | 9 moons Mentor: AlderdappleA tom, mostly black except for his underbelly, back paws, and the tip of his tail which are all a lighter gray. His eyes are a soft, hazel-grey. It's hard to find this apprentice without seeing a looming anxiety in his expression. The epitome of the term "scaredy-cat." He's very quiet, and rarely initiates conversations with others except for his sister, Willowpaw, who he depends on to a fault. He was found with his sister in the forest when he was about 7 moons old, confessing to the patrol with a shaky voice that their parents had been killed. The incident is seemingly a traumatic memory for him, as he never speaks about it, and is slightly distrustful of others as a result of it. He uses his clan life as an outlet, and has shown to be a very admirable hunter.{ written by: ang ♡ } Irispaw | 9 moons Mentor: BrunneamistA white she-cat with orange-and-black patches, and forest-green eyes shining with confidence. Her tail is particularly fluffy compared to the rest of her. Irispaw was born to a queen named Hollystorm, along with her sister, Amarylliskit. Her sister and mother were killed in an attack on the camp, and Iriskit hardly survived. Irispaw is loyal to a fault, and constantly wants to prove that she's good enough to become a full-fledged warrior. This has led her to making reckless decisions. She lacks respect for her elders, and tends to treat everyone the same, regardless of their status. She tends to be cocky and over-confident, and can be too prideful to admit when she's made a mistake, even going as far as to argue with her mentor. She's most skilled at fighting, and has very quick reflexes.{ written by: ang ♡ } Bloompaw | 11 moons Mentor: Petunianose A white she-cat with big, bright, blue eyes and two pale yellow eye marking above. She was the only survivor in a litter of stillborns. She has a seemingly cold exterior, and never allows herself to show weakness if she can help it. She's good at keeping her cool in tense situations, and always tries to seem like she knows what she's doing. Despite her proficiency at hunting, she has more difficulty with fighting than she'd like to admit. She has a tense relationship with her mother, Magnoliasky, and wants her approval more than anything. She's always volunteering to join patrols and won't hesitate to jump into a battle if she deems it necessary. It's not uncommon for her to overexert herself, trying to do more than she can physically manage, but you'll never hear her complain about something like being tired.{ written by: ang ♡ } Zinniapaw | 9 moons Mentor: SorrelshadeZinniapaw is a long-haired orange-cream pelted cat. Their frame is fairly small in comparison to others within the clan. Not only is this due to them being an apprentice, but also due to being a dwarfed cat. Zinniapaw has yellow eyes that are close to a gold color but don't quite get there. They are a typically friendly and fun-loving cat. Zinniapaw loves to joke with their friends and has a brave heart and kind soul. However, they tend to push themselves a little too hard and often times they will ignore someone trying to look out for them. They don't want to be seen as dependent on others. Sadly, this means they are almost always tired or generally disregarding their own feelings or physical state, putting all the work into training and friends without thinking about themselves. Zinniapaw has been in FloretClan their entire life and knows no other place quite as happy.{ written by: Voidastral } Cloverpaw | 7 moons Mentor: LupinewhiskerCloverpaw is a wispy, long-haired pitch black tom-cat with bright yellow eyes, fluffy ears and big, strong paws adorned with large claws. Although he is a bit small for a cat, his long fur, paws and tail as long as his body makes him seem more intimidating. Although he appears otherwise healthy and able, Cloverpaw can sometimes have trouble breathing if he over-exerts himself or battles for too long; his breathing gets sharp and he finds it hard to get a good breath of air, so he often needs to visit the medicine cat to get herbs to ease the constraining feeling in his chest. He is an optimistic, bubbly tom-cat most of the time who rarely gives up, however he has uncontrollable mood-swings that send him into a spiral of hopelessness and bitterness that he tries to internalize but usually fails. His deep spirals usually include a lot of self pity over his asthma condition and his lack of confidence.{ written by: Morticat } Mossypaw | 9 moons Mentor: HeatherfallMossypaw is a dark brown classic tabby she-cat. She has cheerful, dark green eyes, and white markings in the form of a white chest and belly, paws, tailtip, and chin. She has a medium-length pelt, which is smooth and shiny, and a small nick in her left ear. Mossypaw is a cheerful and active cat, who is always looking for a cat to help out. She loves helping her Clanmates, and although she is excitable and full of energy, she can usually calm down enough to listen to important information. She is very clumsy, and often forgets her manners. Mossypaw is a lesbian.{ written by: Sparkly } Columbinepaw | 9 moons Mentor: DaffodilleapColumbinepaw is a long-haired tom with a fiery pelt, swirling with dark classic tabby stripes. His underbelly is pale ginger, as well as his paws and chest. He has thin eyes, the right one yellow and the other green. His tail is long and fluffy, so he keeps it clean by holding it up almost all the time. Columbinepaw is full of himself, and loves having attention of him. He tends to argue with apprentices and warriors alike far too often, but more out of curiousity than spite. He is sharp-tongued and witty, and even willing to bargain if there’s a chore he doesn’t want to do. But there’s kindness in his heart, and a fierce loyalty to his Clanmates and keeping them safe. Columbinepaw is bisexual.{ written by: ✨ nissabug ✨ } Orchidpaw | 11 moons Mentor: PansyfallOrchidpaw is a fluffy white gray and black tabby cat with rounded ears and sky blue eyes. He is fairly large for an apprentice however, he is not at all intimidating. Orchidpaw tends to be awkward in social situations, either not knowing much of what to say or do or being too nervous for his own good. Often times he is very silent, however around close friends he enjoys making jokes and is a lot warmer and friendly to them. Orchidpaw struggles to speak up or give input on his ideas. Whether good or not, he assumes no one will like them anyway. He often doubts himself and his own abilities. Hopefully, he will become a little more confident in the future. Orchidpaw worries for his friends and is a heavy empath, reflecting his friend's moods and emotions. { written by: Voidastral }

❀ ALLEGIANCES❀ male / female / non-binary ❀ QUEENS ❀Magnoliasky | 31 moons A charming she-cat, Magnoliasky’s pelt is a creamy white with large patches of gray scattered across her body, as well as one on her face. Her build is rather large with powerful muscles rippling under her medium-length fur, and small scars scattered across her body, save a large one going down her stomach. Her tail is a fluffy plume and her face is adorned with a pale pink-grey nose, and sky blue eyes. Overall it could be said that Magnoliasky is kind - to most. When she wasn’t made deputy because of her pregnancy she was absolutely devastated. She is an astounding warrior in the sense of pure, brute force, and she is extremely quick to resort to fighting to get her way. She is one of the first to throw herself into a battle. Magnoliasky values power highly, both in a physical sense and in regards to status. She resents weakness and looks down upon medicine cats for their lack of power in battle, and harshly judges those who she deems as weak, although she is careful not to let that on to the general public.{ written by: altaid } Meadowpelt | 39 moonsMeadowpelt is a green-eyed brown and orange mixed tabby, primarily being brown with subtle stripes of ginger scattered throughout. she is a dwarfed cat, which is what caused Zinniapaws dwarfism. Her fur is medium length. She is a tough love type of personality, leading her to be a little bit hard on her children, Mossypaw and Zinniapaw. She want's them to be the best they can and that she knows they can be. She all around is loyal to her clan and talks in a rather nonchalant or stoic voice. However, when she speaks about those she loves or things she has a great passion for, she tends to become much more emotional. Meadowpelt will and can speak her mind whenever she feels necessary. Meadowpelt is very diplomatic, always wanting to talk things out. She can also be very snippy and quick-witted. On occasion, she will limp. This is because of a small disfiguration in her left front paw.{ written by: Voidastral } ❀ KITS ❀Bloomkit | 5 moonsA small, scrawny little pale ginger kit with barely visible patches on his back and paws. Bloomkit has a bit of rocky relationship with his mother, who places plenty of expectations on him. However, it’s definitely better than how she treats his older sister. Bloomkit, although young, is already showing that he’s the bratty type. He is spunky and playful, but most of all, he’s arrogant and annoying. He has a bit of a superiority complex, absolutely narcissistic and constantly believing that he could never be in the wrong in any situation. He says he’s ‘never lost a (play)fight’ and he’s ‘going to be leader one day’. Anyone with a brain bigger than a mouse’s can see that’s not going to happen unless he changes his attitude.{ written by: jer bear ! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ } Nectarkit | 4 moonsNectarkit is the third of Meadowpelts children and born into a litter of one. She has a fairly cheerful personality and does her best to impress her older siblings. She looks up greatly to both Mossypaw and Zinniapaw. Nectarkit often times will listen to her mother's stories and lessons, absorbing them like a sponge. She isn't much for play fighting, however, she is highly enthusiastic and enjoys playing outside of the nursery. Chasing butterflies and simple insects. Nectarkit is a generally happy kit and is almost always restless. She is a brown she-cat tabby, with yellow eyes similarly to Zinniapaws.{ written by: Voidastral } ❀ ELDERS ❀Saffronstep | 133 moons Saffronstep is an entirely black cat with a medium length pelt. Though it was shiny and lustrous in her youth, in her old age it has gained a certain scraggly dullness. Her frame is lanky and narrow, with long thin legs that have come to be fragile and lacking in muscle as the moons have gone by. Her nose is a dull grey, and her eyes are a deep and muddy shade of amber. Back in the day she was a fierce warrior, and although she has deteriorated physically her personality shows equal fierceness. Deeply invested in the old ways, her care for flowers is intense and her knowledge vast, although short of a medicine cat. She resents anyone who picks or messes with flowers and plants under her care, and is quick to give people a hard time. As she’s grown older she’s become more ornery and cranky, and is grumpy towards almost everyone, particularly apprentices. Her hearing has deteriorated with time as well, and if you don’t scream what you’re saying, you might as well not be speaking to her.{ written by: altaid } Thornwhisker | 98 moonsAn old brown-and-white tom with amber eyes. He has a large scar on his side, and a few smaller ones on his shoulders. Named for his particularly sharp claws, like thorns. He used to be a skilled fighter. He’s got bad eyesight, and spends most of his time in the elder’s den complaining with Saffronstep. He loves kits, but tends to be colder towards apprentices and older cats. He tells amazing stories from his time as a warrior, but will repeat his favorites over and over until you could recite them yourself. He still has his fighting spirit, even in his old age.{ written by: ang ♡ } Briarheart | 113 moonsBriarheart is a dark brown she-cat, with a white chin, tailtip, and paws. She has kind, deep azure eyes, and a petite, delicate build. Her muzzle, paws, and tail are starting to grey. Briarheart is a kind, motherly cat, who is generally somewhat brisk and strict. She always stands up for herself and other cats, but can generally be very impatient. She tends to be very straightforward, and likes to take the initiative. Briarheart has lived a long, happy life in FloretClan. She had a mate when she was younger named Gingertail, but he has since passed away. Now, Briarheart spends the majority of her time either tending to a rose bush in the territory that blooms lovely red and pink roses each green-leaf, or telling stories to kits and apprentices in the shade of the elder's den. Briarheart is starting to develop arthritis.{ written by: Sparkly }

❀ ALLEGIANCES❀ male / female / non-binary ❀ STARCLAN ❀Hollystorm | ∞ moons Once young and naive, Hollystorm had fallen in love with a kind ginger rogue. What she didn't realize, was that he had no reason to have loyalty to a clan that he was not a part of. They had two children mere moons apart. During her second pregnancy, her mate had left her and she never saw her again. She later lost her life when the camp was attacked. Irispaw's mother. { written by: ang ♡ } Amarylliskit | ∞ moons While alive, she was serious and pretty much the opposite of her older sister, Irispaw. She didn't have much time to develop her character before she was mercilessly killed in an attack on the clan. { written by: ang ♡ } ❀ DARK FOREST ❀Placeholderheart | ∞ moons Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Speaking of his tail, it is fairly bushy and small. His left eye is a blue color and his right is an orange-yellow. He is a medium-sized cat, clearly well fed. Ramune often times will eat the rodents around the twoleg-place or even venture out into (unknown to him) clan territory to 'hunt'. He is very headstrong and does what he wants, often times giving a semi-sarcastic reply to those testing him. He is generally caring and protective of his friends. Ramune was born in the city but brought out to this semi-remote twoleg-place as a kitten. He's been here ever since.{ written by: Voidastral } Ozawald O'Wiley | 23 moonsOzz is a slick, skinny, black furred tom-cat with large greenish-yellow eyes and long fangs that extend out of his mouth permanently. Some could say it's his defining attractive feature while others may whole-heatedly disagree and argue it makes him one of the ugliest cats they've laid their eyes on. Ozz is use to the different looks he gets and honestly finds it quite amusing at times and makes it a point to flash them a grin. He has a good sense of humor and often uses it to try to diffuse situations, however don't take him lightly, if it comes down to a fight he will hardly back down. Ozz has this glowing charisma about him that is equally fascinating but dangerous, so while cats do tend to flock to him, they either don't take the time to get to know him well or they get scared off to his brashness. He isn't a very logical thinker, usually using his heart over his head which he can vouch has gotten him into some sticky situations. He's basically an outdoor kittypet; the humans feed him to be nice, he comes and goes, never really took to the kittypet lifestyle though. His name is a bit of a mouthful, so it's often shortened to Ozz, Oswald, or Wiley.{ written by: Morticat }

❀ CREDIT❀ FloretClan was made with the help of a small handful of people. Here, they'll be aptly credited for their hard work! ang ♡ was a huge help with ideas and making the writing skeleton for the rules, territory, and some of the camp! storm was very helpful with bouncing ideas between! altaid has also helped majorly with ideas and helped with writing the introduction. helena was definitely the biggest help, although she won't be participating in roleplaying! She created both the territory and camp maps, and finalized all of the sprites! In result, the page looks gorgeous! You can thank her for her valiant work while my tablet was broken. She was a miracle, honestly! All coding was made by me, along with the banner, and most of the writing (exceptions listed above)! And finally, the most important person, is you! You even just wanting to give this clan a look to which you scrolled down this far, means that you at least found our clan the slightest bit appealing! Thank you for any consideration -- and please consider joining and becoming a member of FloretClan!

@ storm [ willowpaw & yarrowmoon ] A small whine and an angry swish of her large, gray tail was enough to signify that Willowpaw was upset. But what really solidified it was the bitter, melodramatic limp that she did on her way down the Softslope. She cursed under her tongue every time she would accidentally press the pad of her front left paw into the ground. She moved along the ground of cracked stone as quickly as she could, and once she got to the entrance of the medicine cat den, tried to make herself as small as she could to squeeze through the crack in the hollow rock. She quickly found herself disappointed once she figured out that the medicine cat who was in the den was Yarrowmoon, and not Mintgaze. Of course they could do their job, but Willowpaw figured they would much prefer the sweet-smelling flowers that they're often taking care of over bitter herbs and foul-tasting mouse bile. She twitched her ears, and blinked a couple of times to adjust herself to the darkness of the small, wet cave. She cleared her throat and soon spoke, making her tone very clear that she was upset. "I've got a thorn in my paw!" It's found it's way rooted in, too deep for her to simple have just pulled it out with her teeth. But, that's what she gets for messing with the rose bushes.

S o r r e l s h a d e C a m p || A l o n e The little she-cat had woken up earlier than most of her clan-mates hours ago and was just coming back from a paw-tingling hunt with a small bird and plump mouse in her jaw, both still a bit warm to the touch. She clambered down the softslope leading down into the clearing and carefully placed the two lifeless creatures in the prey pile with pride, not having lost her enthusiasm for the thrill of hunting even after seasons passed. She took a careful look around camp for her apprentice, hoping that Zinniapaw was up and ready to go, after sitting down for a bite to eat with Sorrelshade of course. C l o v e r p a w C a m p || A l o n e Cloverpaw had himself sprawled out in front of the apprentice's den, no doubt blocking anyone from entering or exiting the den without tripping over the fluffy black mass which was the tom-cat. In front of him was a moss ball filled with large thorns that he tossed quickly between his paws, trying to aim for his paw-pads to touch the areas of the moss that didn't have the thorns poking out. Every now and again he would lightly scrape his paw on a thorn and have to bite back a yowl, but that wasn't stopping Cloverpaw from practicing being nimble and reflexive. If he was going to be a good warrior he was going to have to do more than just a little hunting trip every day. The apprentice was young, excited, and impatient, but very much filled with wonder about his future.

Zinniapaw
As of now, Zinniapaw is sitting outside of the apprentice's den cleaning themself. Today felt slow to them since nothing all too exciting had occurred yet. But Zinniapaw still had hopes of something interesting would come up. Their tail flickered as they bent backward to clean off their back. Zinniapaw momentarily thought about going back to sleep, however, they spot their mentor near the fresh kill pile that and there is Cloverpaw, who is blocking the entrance. It is about time they eat anyways. Zinniapaw makes their way over to Sorrelshade. "Hello Sorrelshade!" they give her an excited greeting before grabbing a small shrew from the pile.
.........
Lupinewhisker
Lupinewhisker stretched as she emerged from the Warriors Den. She hadn't meant to sleep so late but nonetheless, she had done so. The she-cat spots her black-mass of an apprentice in front of the Apprentices Den tossing a ball of moss, at least from what she could see. Lupinewhisker softly shakes her head and makes her way, slowly, to Cloverpaw. She hopes he is prepared for a short hunting trip, and if not. Well, that's too bad she supposes because he is going on one.

@ altaid [ alderdapple & ginkoleaf ] Alderdapple stretched the sleep from his limbs. He still wasn't quite used to being a warrior -- it's only been a quarter-moon, after all. So naturally, he found himself sleeping in a little late. He's surprised, considering the last few times he got jolted awake by yelling coming from some older warriors, orrr Petunianose. Well, he was awake now! Albeit, pretty late. Maybe he should start going to rest earlier. But late at night was where sneaking out of camp and exploring the territory was the most fun! He liked to stay at the edge of the forest, near the Twolegplace, and watch the bright lights that illuminated the Twoleg den flicker off in an instant. Sometimes you could hear the voices of twoleg kits shouting back and forth. It was really quite intriguing, to him at least. He's thought to himself that perhaps he might like the lifestyle of a kittypet, at least to observe the mannerisms of the other species.
Well, he'll cut his train of thought off there. Alderdapple's loyal to his clan, anyway, and wouldn't even know what to do with a soft life like that. No more pondering, he wanted to find his friend! As an apprentice, Ginkoleaf and him had trained together pretty often. As well as that, they had pretty similar personalities. But Alderdapple could easily admit to himself that he was a lot weirder than Ginkoleaf. And a lot more lax. He figures that his friend would probably be up already, with his hard-working attitude and all. A quick glance around the den confirms this, with Ginkoleaf's soft moss resting place empty. He'll step out into the clearing and quickly glance around. As expected, there are plenty of cats sharing tongues and plenty eating. He'll walk forward, continuing his search for his friend, when... He sees him walk into the camp with a plump-looking rabbit in his jaws! He'll bound happily toward him and offer his words of praise. "Wow! You caught a rabbit?" He didn't think Ginkoleaf was that quick!

@ ang ♡ [ brunneamist, irispaw, & bloompaw ] A quiet, long, annoyed groan rose out of Brunneamist's throat the second Petunianose walked away for his 'deputy duties', as he so eloquently put it. Irispaw was already enough of a handful of an apprentice, but now Petunianose is pushing his apprentice onto him, too? To be fair, Bloompaw didn't seem like she would be as much trouble as Irispaw was. Plans rolled in his mind as to what kind of things he could even teach them. Fighting would be good, right? They could practice with each other, or even try to double team him. Possibilities were endless, and he was a little bit interested -- but don't get him wrong, not enthusiastic. He had to duck his head a tiny bit to peek into the apprentice's den, and then he called out their names. "Irispaw? It's time for your training. And Bloompaw, you'll be training with me today, as well." He ducked his head back out, and sat outside the den to wait for them to emerge from their nests.

S o r r e l s h a d e C a m p || Z i n n i a p a w It wasn't long before Sorrelshade spotted the apprentice coming her way, and she greeted them with a friendly chirp, "Good morning!". She knew how at times the moons of apprenticeship can seem to last forever and all the 'paws want are their warrior names, so the she-cat always did her best to try to have an enthusiastic approach to everything and to make sure Zinniapaw was well rested and well fed before they made any big moves for the day. "Good!" she purred, watching them take a piece of fresh kill, "I was just about to say we should sit one down and eat first - I for one am absolutely starving," Sorrelshade pressed her tail to her stomach to indicate her hunger. She picked up a squirrel and sat herself down across from the apprentice, then leaned down to take a huge mouthful, "Sho how bout we gow to the gweat shicamore tree truday?" she asked with her mouth full, though she tried her best not to let the squirrel fly out of her mouth. C l o v e r p a w C a m p || A l o n e One more prick on the paw and Cloverpaw was done for, "Agh," he groaned quietly, licking his scraped and poked up paw pads to try to soothe the pain. "What a dumb thing to do right before you have to go out," he scolded himself. As he saw his mentor approaching, he quickly tucked his paws under his chest and gave Lupinewhisker a completely straight faced look. From an aerial view Cloverpaw most closely resembled a dark, fluffy stone in that moment with his paws hidden away. "Oh good morning!" he said a little too quickly, but tried to play it off with a flash of a smile.

[brunneamist, irispaw, & bloompaw]A quiet, long, annoyed groan rose out of Brunneamist's throat the second Petunianose walked away for his 'deputy duties', as he so eloquently put it. Irispaw was already enough of a handful of an apprentice, but now Petunianose is pushing his apprentice onto him, too? To be fair, Bloompaw didn't seem like she would be as much trouble as Irispaw was. Plans rolled in his mind as to what kind of things he could even teach them. Fighting would be good, right? They could practice with each other, or even try to double team him. Possibilities were endless, and he was a little bit interested -- but don't get him wrong, not enthusiastic. He had to duck his head a tiny bit to peek into the apprentice's den, and then he called out their names. "Irispaw? It's time for your training. And Bloompaw, you'll be training with me today, as well." He ducked his head back out, and sat outside the den to wait for them to emerge from their nests. "Finally!" came Irispaw's voice loudly from the inside of the den. Having been doing a whole lot of nothing all morning, it was only a couple moments before she burst out into camp in a flurry of black and white and orange. "It only took you all day!" she remarked, fluffy tail twitching impatiently. "I've been so booooored, Brunneamist! --Come on, hurry up, Bloompaw!"
"I'm coming." Bloompaw's quiet voice was a sharp contrast to Irispaw's, and it was tinged with just a hint of annoyance. "You don't need to shout." Padding out shortly after Irispaw, she sat down in front of Brunneamist, waiting for some kind of order or for him to brief them on what they were doing. She shot him a sort-of look, seemingly as if to say 'Irispaw, right?'

Zinniapaw
Zinniapaw chuckles at the way their mentor sounds with her mouth full "haha. Sure! I'd love to go to the Great Sycamore" they take a bite of the shrew and swallows before continuing "What are we going to be doing? If I may ask." their tail flickers back and forth "I think I might've been starving too." they comment, taking a few more bites from the shrew.
.........
Lupinewhisker
Lupinewhisker would raise her eyebrows if she had any. "Hello Cloverpaw," she pauses to think if she should mention the mossball, however Lupinewhisker decides against doing so. Lupinewhisker takes a seat next to Cloverpaw and softly asks "Have you eaten yet today? If not, we should head over to the fresh-kill pile then discuss today's training." Sometimes she feels her voice is too soft to be taken seriously, other times she doesn't really notice it..but that's off the topic. She awaits cloverpaw's response by trying to further wake herself up.

@ ang ♡ [ brunneamist, irispaw, & bloompaw ] Brunneamist understood the look completely. He stood up on his paws and flicked his tail to signal to move forward, and trotted with a slow pace towards the Softslope. Slow on purpose, pretty much just to agonize his spritey apprentice. He's sure that Bloompaw won't mind, though. "Stay behind me, Irispaw. You don't even know where we're going, today. In fact, you don't know what we're doing." He was easily annoyed with Irispaw's disrespectful attitude. Not only was he her senior, he was her mentor, for StarClan's sake! She could spare her arrogance for a 'yes, sir' every now and again. He'd prefer to keep Irispaw on suspense, but poor inquisitive Bloompaw didn't deserve that. So, he continued: "We'll be doing some battle training, today."

Ramune
Ramune is lounging on the porch, just outside of his two-leg home. As he cleans himself the collar around his neck jingles, making a soft ringing noise. He folds his paws around the porch edge then lays his head on them closing his eyes. He rests for a bit, letting his thoughts drift. Eventually, Ramune's stomach rumbles and he realizes how hungry he is. However, he doesn't want any cat food so he sets on trying to search for some rodents around the forested area. Ramune pops up and drops from the porch onto the grass and begins to make his way toward the forest.

ginkoleaf The ginger tom-cat had been up for quite a while. He was always one to wake up early, and the few times he slept in he felt absolutely mortified. He took himself incredibly seriously and wanted to avoid looking like he was slacking - how would anyone take him seriously then? Ginkoleaf found it important to keep up appearances and made it a point to look like he knew what he was doing, though underneath his uptight exterior he was a bit of a goofball.
Since getting up, he had went for a hunt and was pleasantly surprised with himself when he managed to catch a rabbit. His thin and lanky frame was certainly helpful when it came to catching faster prey, but he was lacking in bulk and strength. He was somewhat convinced this rabbit was just kind of slow, though, considering his luck wasn't always all that good when it came to rabbits.
As he carried the plump animal in his jaws down the slope into the camp, Alderapple caught his eye. Alderapple was a bit of a weird fellow - but Ginkoleaf kind of liked that. He felt like he could relax around him a bit without being judged too harshly. As his friend bounded over the tom gingerly set the rabbit on the ground and straightened his shoulders a bit, trying his best to look dignified. "Oh it's - it's nothing." Wait, did that sound cocky? He didn't want to sound like it was that easy, but he also didn't want to sound like he was bragging... The ginger cat decided to shut up before he buried himself into a hole with his words, and that was probably the best decision.

Irispaw pretty much just ignored the comment about staying behind heading on forward and just slowing down so that she didn't get too far ahead. Her tailed swished excitedly as she walked. "Then what are we doing? C'moooon, tell me!"
Bloompaw glanced at Irispaw... Starclan, she was annoying. Just about every word to come from her mouth got on Bloompaw's nerves. She stood up and started after Brunneamist, staying close behind. She gave a little sigh. Maybe she could just... ignore her?
At his continuation, Irispaw gave a loud, "Oh, nice!" Irispaw always had a lot of fun with battling. It was one of her strong suits! (Though, if you asked her, she'd say everything is a strong suit for her.) Bloompaw, being more of a quiet type, didn't really have much to add, simply continuing to follow Brunneamist. She gritted her teeth and shot Irispaw a look. Please, shut up.

@ altaid [ alderdapple & ginkoleaf ] Alderdapple was not gonna let him off that easy. He was being humble, but Alderdapple wanted to give his friend some praise! "That's really impressive. It's been a good two moons since anyone's caught one. I bet even Rosestar would have some trouble." At this point, he's just exaggerating to embarrass his friend. He'll playfully nudge him with his paw. "Did you go with anyone? Or did you sneak off with a mission to catch the most impressive prey you could?" Obviously, Alderdapple was not in the same 'fresh warrior' mindset that Ginkoleaf was.

@ ang ♡ [ brunneamist, irispaw, & bloompaw ] Brunneamist grumbled something about his annoyance under his breath. He continued up the slope and let himself fall low to move under the twigs of the bush. He stopped and waited for a little while, for his apprentices to push through, and then continued his journey. He was walking towards the forest of cherry blossom trees, saying no words while he walked there. He still wasn't sure what kind of things he was planning, but he was definitely favoring the concept of letting them try and fight him. Mostly so he could prove to Irispaw that he was her superior, and put her in her damn place.

Bloompaw was just about ready to claw her stupid, loud face off. "Can we start yet? What are we doing? C'mon, let's go!" She got into a battle stance, but only for a moment before jumping into a different one. And then another different one, and another, and back to the first again... She was just antsy and ready to get started.
"Can you wait for two seconds?" Bloompaw shot her an annoyed look, which Irispaw seemed to either not see or not recognize, because she didn't really make any attempt to be patient. "Honestly, we just got here."

S o r r e l s h a d e C a m p || Z i n n i a p a w Sorrelshade finally swallowed all the bits of squirrel, allowing her to more clearly get her message across, "I was thinking we could practice some of those battle skills then do a little border patrol near the two-leg place," her green eyes lit up, "What do you say? Sound like an alright afternoon?" Although the she-cat of course had the last word on what activities her and Zinniapaw would be doing, she still made sure to get input from them so they felt just as heard as any other cat in the clan. In Sorrelshade's mind, this is what would bring the most mutual respect and bonding out of a mentor and apprentice relationship. Trying to have a power trip or being disrespectful to the small cat you'd been entrusted with only ended in bad feelings and rebellion. C l o v e r p a w C a m p || L u p i n e w h i s k e r "Eat? I dont need to eat Lupinewhisker, I already have so much energy and am ready to go! Let's talk about it on the way out," Cloverpaw suggested and stood up straight, puffing out his black furred chest and giving his mentor a determined look. It was true he didn't even feel hungry in that moment as he imagined his paws hitting the soft grass outside and the wind rustling through his pelt like an oak tree. "I better go to Mintgaze or Yarrowmoon when I get back," he thought to himself and to the stinging pain in his front paw-pads.
