GraceClan is the Clan of patience, virtue, and- above all- beauty. It is a Clan in perfect harmony- mates stay together, littermates get along, warriors are loyal and friendly, and leaders are wise and kind. The Clan seems to be close-knit, and any warrior would of course lay down their life for any one of their Clanmates. Cats put their Clan first, but don't forget about their families either. No cat is lonely, as each cat has a mate destined for them; they might just take some time to find.
Of course, this is only what GraceClan looks like on the surface. The truth is far less utopian. The cats of GraceClan are, in reality, can be just as selfish or cowardly or cruel as those from anywhere else, and they don't always get along. However, the one thing that the cats of GraceClan value above all else is appearances: their reputation, and the impression- however false it may be- that everything is perfect. And thus, mates never fight, kits never argue, cats obey their elders, swallow their insecurities, and pretend to be happy and content. GraceClan is, more than anything else, a Clan of lies.
Within the Clan, there is a great deal of pressure put on cats to adhere to certain norms and expectations. Conflict of any kind, at least among Clanmates, is highly frowned upon. Cats do not argue or for that matter even disagree very often, and thus, few problems are worked out rationally, instead leaving grudges and differing opinions to grow and fester beneath the surface. Negative emotions are repressed: anger, fear, self-doubt, sadness, or contempt, all funneled away into the back of ones' mind, to never be released or expressed even to those close to them. Cats are expected to be grateful for what they have, to give thanks to StarClan for everything and to obey their word above all else. The Warrior Code is to be obeyed utterly, even to the smallest rule, and the most insignificant infractions can be punished far beyond reason. In fact, punishment is the only time that any negativity may be expressed, and punishments are often disproportionate and harsh: shunning, temporary banishment, humiliation, and even physical harm may be used to keep the cats of GraceClan in line and to preserve their social standards.
Like in most Clans, both toms and she-cats serve as warriors to hunt and fight for the Clan. However, unlike in a typical Clan, there is some separation between the two genders. Toms are expected to be stoic, proud, and strong, and are expected more than she-cats to be successful in battle, and to provide prey for the Clan. She-cats instead are pressured to be friendly, kind, and beautiful, and she-cats are expected to refrain from violence unless absolutely necessary, as scars and other marks are considered unsightly. She-cats are also expected to hunt well, but once a she-cat reaches a certain age, she is expected to begin rearing kits, at which point her skills in hunting and combat are considered less important. GraceClan cats value large, close-knit families, and thus motherhood is considered the greatest honor a she-cat can achieve; she-cats who refuse to have kits, or cannot have kits, are typically somewhat ostracized from the Clan. The only exception to this is a she-cat who's mate died before conceiving a litter, as cats may not take a new mate and therefore a she-cat whose mate has died will never have more kits. Because she-cats are expected to focus on motherhood, the leader, deputy, and medicine cats of the Clan tend to be toms.
On this same note, GraceClan has some unique traditions when it comes to choosing mates. Unlike in a typical Clan, where cats may leave their mate and take a new one any time they choose, mate pairs in GraceClan are expected to stay together for life, and are chosen at a very young age. A young she-cat has her entire apprenticeship to find a tom with whom she is willing to be mates with; if she fails to do so, or the tom she chooses rejects her, the medicine cat will perform a small ritual before the young she-cat's warrior ceremony to determine which tom StarClan has chosen for her (sometimes even resulting in a tom who rejected her in the first place).
Of course, just because they lack the same time limit doesn't mean toms are free from the system. Though a tom may reject a she-cat who requests to become mates, this is highly frowned upon, and does not happen frequently. And though he may reject a she-cat who asks, if a tom is assigned a mate through the medicine cat's ritual, he must accept that pairing just as the she-cat must. Very few toms go more than a few moons as a warrior without accepting or being assigned a mate, if they even make it to a warrior first. Thus, most apprentices simply choose to settle and become mates with a friend of the opposite gender, as it's preferable to being assigned a cat they don't get along with as well.
In appearance, GraceClan cats tend to be lithe, willowy, and long-legged, though some cats are more burly. Their fur tends to be either long or sleek, or both, and typically comes in light, soft colors such as tawny, gray, white, and light brown (though brighter or darker colors do occur) and are more often plain than tabby or spotted. In terms of names, GraceClan cats tend to choose gentle, pretty names for their kits (even toms), the most common names being those of flowers or herbs, such as Rose, Mint, or jasmine (toms are also commonly named for flowers), or virtues such as Brave, Hope, or Joy. "Cute" prefixes such as Pounce, Tumble, or Sneeze are also fairly common. In addition, mate pairs often receive suffixes that are either identical (such as both cats receiving the suffix -tail) or related in theme (such as one gaining the suffix -leaf and the other -petal), but this is a trend more than a rule.
Obviously, follow forum rules and use common sense. Keep language and themes appropriate, be respectful, don't start arguments, and if you have an issue with someone and don't think it can be handled politely , take it up with me or a moderator. Don't spotlight, godmod, powerplay, try to make your characters perfect, etc. etc. Don't control other peoples' characters or dictate their actions without permission. Ask before embarking on plots that will effect more than a few cats, and make sure you ask people before including their cats in plots.
Please keep the roleplay at least semi-literate. So, most of your posts should be at least a decently-sized paragraph or two, but occasionally having posts that are shorter due to necessity (for example, combat or dialogue) is acceptable. On the other paw, try not to write a novel every post; keep it manageable at a three or four paragraphs maximum, except in special situations. Always use your best grammar, punctuation, and formatting. Try to keep the story going, at least in minor ways; try not to get stuck on minor interactions and details.
Be as active as you can. I can't really make a strict "be on at least this much" rule, since real life happens for me and everyone else, and there will be times when the entire roleplay lags a bit. But, try to be present when your characters are needed and relevant, and try not to be away so often that we forget who your characters are. Obviously if you have an important role, either with the Clan (leader, deputy, medicine cat) or in a plot, try to be on a bit more often, since you'll probably be needed more.
Be inclusive! Try to get everyone involved in the roleplay, and definitely don't make plots that exclude a lot of characters. That's not saying that every plot has to be a major, whole-Clan ordeal, but do your best to include the people who want to be included. At the same time, please be respectful of other peoples' plots; sometimes your characters or ideas won't really fit for what they have in mind, and that's okay. Obviously, you should always ask before assigning another character to be mates with one of yours; the cats might not be happy about the pairings, but the players should be!
LGBT characters are welcome, and even encouraged for plot reasons; just keep in mind they will likely be frowned upon in the Clan, as obviously same-gender couples cannot have kits. All warrior she-cats and all toms older than about 25 moons should have an assigned mate. Some may have mates that are deceased, but this should be fairly uncommon. If you can't agree with another person to make your characters mates, I will assign mates.
Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from outside the Clan, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.
Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.
A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.
The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled.
After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a outside the Clan.
The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.
A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
A cat may never take more than one mate in their lifetime, even if their first mate dies.
The word of StarClan must be obeyed no matter what.
The cats of GraceClan mainly call a large meadow, surrounded by deep forests, home. For most of the year, the meadow is filled with wildflowers and swaying grasses, while the green forest is thick with ferns and brambles. The area is split by a wide but slow and peaceful river, and though cats may occasionally venture to the far side, they typically avoid it as it is frequented by twolegs and their dogs. Their territory does not extend far into the forest to the south, though they do claim a large swathe of forest in the northeast, which they call Darkforest. Within the Clan's borders are a variety of landmarks that the cats use to navigate.
The camp is in the northwest portion of the territory, in the forest nestled in a bend in the river. It is protected by ferns and stones, as well as shaded by the thick branches of the trees above.
The Elder Oak is a large tree just beyond the forest, in the meadow. It is a massive oak- as the name would imply, with branches so large and heavy they dip to nearly touch the ground. It is a good place to hunt or shade, as well as to practice climbing as its branches are large and sturdy, and its bark thick and soft. It can also be a good place to hunt mice, as they like to eat the acorns dropped by the tree, but the area is so open that there is not a significant amount of prey hiding here.
The Watchingstone is east of the Elder Oak, and is a large boulder jutting from the meadow. From the top, it is easy to watch over the meadow to the south and west, giving it its name. There is not much prey to speak of here, besides the occasional mouse, though snakes will sometimes warm themselves on the stone at dusk, so cats should be cautious.
Lostditch is a small dip in roughly the middle of the meadow. It is not especially significant other than the fact that it is disguised by the tall grasses and flowers, and if cats aren't careful they can hurt themselves by suddenly tumbling into the rocky slope; more than one cat has broken a bone or hit their head this way.
Misty Pond is a small pond in the southern portion of the meadow, surrounded by reeds and stones. It is a peaceful place to fish, and ducks often swim and nest here, and can make good prey for the ambitious warrior. Cats feeling a bit adventurous can also hunt frogs, but must be careful of water snakes, and during particularly wet seasons, the mud here can become sticky and may trap cats that aren't careful and don't have help to pull them out.
Foxburrow is in a copse of trees immediately to the west of Misty Pond. It is a small rocky area, with a shallow burrow dug by foxes. Most of the time, there are no foxes to speak of, but occasionally in the spring a vixen will try to make a den for her pups here, and must be chased off.
Blackstones is a collection of boulders jutting across the river in the west. A balanced and brave cat could use the stones to leap across the water, though they can be somewhat slippery and cats have been known to fall and drown, or be swept away, while attempting to cross here. Otherwise, it can be a decent fishing or sunning site.
Deadleaf Hollow is an area in the forest southeast of the meadow, in the forest between the meadow and the stream. It is a rocky dip in the land, where some sort of disease killed off the trees in the hollow, leaving only leafless trunks and branches. It can be a decent place to hunt, as many small birds and rodents dig for seeds in the leaves, nest in the bare branches, or burrow in their roots. However, the place can have a somewhat eerie feeling at night, and many cats say it is haunted by evil spirits.
Sandy Pond is directly east of the meadow, where the stream that runs through the territory forms a waterfall into a sandy dip, and flows out as two streams. The hollow is surrounded on most sides by small, rocky cliffs that are relatively easy to climb up and down, though cats should be cautious of loose stones, as they may fall and hurt themselves, or be hit by falling stones. The water here is clear, shallow, and calm, and a good place to chase minnows or for young cats to practice swimming. However, during the snowmelt season, the pond may flood to fill much of the hollow, and the water becomes swift and dangerous.
The Cloud Fir is in the Darkforest area in the northeast part of the territory. It is a tall, massive fir tree that juts into the sky, towering above the rest of the trees. It is a sacred place, as its top branches are the highest point on the territory and closest to the stars. Its roots are strewn with glittering pebbles and pale stones from the river, and white flowers from the meadow decorate its lower branches, fresh-picked or old and dried. Medicine cats come here on the half moon to speak to StarClan, and during the full moon, the Clan's older cats gather around the roots to bring offerings and commemorate their faith in their ancestors' guidance. Non-medicine cats may also come here at other times in the moon more privately, bringing offerings of their own to ask for advice and guidance, though StarClan very rarely speaks directly to these cats. Still, many cats swear that they can hear whispering, or else that when an offering was left, they saw an omen of some sort.
Oldbridge is just northwest of the Star Fir, and is an old, rotting wooden bridge across the river. It is mostly sturdy, but some planks are loose or rotted through, so cats must be careful of their step. Twolegs rarely use the bridge, and cats only cross if necessary, as they avoid the farm and other twoleg areas. However, it is the best and safest way to cross the river.
The farm is on the north bank of the river, and is not considered a part of Clan territory, though they are aware and somewhat knowledgeable about it. The farm consists of several fields of crops, as well as a barn and paddocks for a small number of farm animals, such as cattle, horses, chickens, and pigs. There is a farmhouse, as well as an apple orchard. Kittypets are known to live in the farmhouse, and barn cats hunt the mice in the barn, while other loners may make dens in other parts of the farm area. To the west of the farm is Roarpines, a pine tree farm that is occasionally harvested by a massive, smoking twoleg monster. Many rogues also make their dens here, and it is abundant with prey when not being harvested. Farther west still is the twolegplace, where there are so many twoleg nests that cats might get lost if they don't know their way. Many kittypets and alley cats live here. Just south of twolegplace is Dogwood, a stretch of forest where twolegs and dogs- both owned by twolegs, and feral- can be encountered, and though abundant with prey, the Clan cats tend to shy away. GraceClan's camp is a small clearing in the forest floor, hidden by ferns, flowers, and stones and shaded by the branches of the oaks and aspens. Warriors keep watch over the camp from the barriers the boulders form, while dens are made in the bushes and foliage that grow between and alongside them.
The leader's den is under a large patch of ferns next to the main entrance of camp, growing against a large, flat boulder. It is sheltered from the rain and sun, but is still relatively open and breezy. It is not particularly private, so private meetings between the leader and those they seek advice from are typically held elsewhere.
The Callingstone is on the other side of the main entrance. It is a large, somewhat flat stone that juts into the center of the camp, and is a visible place for the leader to sit to make announcements.
The warriors' den is a large holly bush that grows next to the same boulder as the leaders' den, and protects one of the gaps that leads into camp. This makes it easy for warriors to leave camp without being seen by their Clanmates, but also means they can respond quicker and easier if the camp is attacked. Most cats make their dens in gaps between the roots of the bush, but part of the den is a burrow dug out beneath the boulder.
The apprentices' den is another holly bush, on the opposite side of the camp. It also grows next to a boulder, and apprentices often use this rock to practice climbing and jumping, though they must be careful not tumble into the medicine den that is located on the other side of the rock.
The nursery is between the Callingstone and the apprentices' den, and is protected on two sides by boulders. The den is formed by a small patch of white rose bushes, and the thorns have been carefully stripped from the branches in the den, though they are left on the side facing the forest for protection, and those branches are more closely woven together. The den is well insulated by the stones, as well as woven branches and moss, forming a large and warm, comfortable den.
The elders' den is next to the leaders' den, on the outside of the camp, nestled under a large flowering bush. Though it may seem counter-intuitive to put old, weak cats on the outside, the elders often sun themselves on the flat boulder that sits between their den, the leader's, and the warriors', and use this time to act as sentinels to keep watch over camp, without having to go far from their den.
The medicine den is in a burrow beneath the same boulder that's next to the apprentices' den, protected by a patch of lavender and ferns. The medicine cats sleep in the burrow, and store their herbs there, and treat patients under the shade of the ferns. There is a small branch of the burrow for patients to sleep if they need closer or long-term attention, or are sick and must be quarantined from the rest of camp.
The fresh-kill pile sits near the entrance to the camp, next to the Callingstone, in a small, shallow burrow dug beneath the boulder. It's little more than a shady alcove meant to protect the prey from the elements and hide it from potential scavengers.

GraceClan cats like to have big families; or, at least, that is what is expected of them, and for the most part, families go along with their societal expectations. The last many season cycles have been good to the Clan, bringing mild leaf-bares, prey-filled greenleafs, and few disasters, and the seasons of plenty of course bring along with it many healthy kits to survive to adulthood, who in turn bless the Clan with even more members. The Clans thank StarClan for their bounty and their survival, but it is beginning to seem that seasons of ease may in fact be a long-term detriment.
The Clan has grown over the past generation or two; of that, there is no doubt. With more members are more mouths to feed, and for more mouths there must be more prey caught, and it is taking its toll upon the Clan's territory. Prey, even in the midst of greenleaf, is becoming increasingly scarce. At first, it's a small worry, a minor inconvenience, and many older cats just chalk up the shortage of fresh-kill as being a lack of skill on the parts of the younger warriors. But, as time goes on, it becomes ever more apparent that the Clan is overhunting its territory, killing off its prey populations to a point of no return. Thus, there is only one option: the Clan must expand its territory if its members are to continue to thrive.
The land across the river- in particular, the farm area- is filled with an untapped abundance of prey. The Clan has avoided this area for generations, as they consider it 'tainted' by twolegs. However, it seems now they have less and less of a choice; though they loath to set paw in the twolegs' realm, the prey that comes from there is as good as anywhere else. There is only one problem: there's already a large number of cats that call this area their territory: kittypets from the farmhouse, mousers from the barn, and loners making their dens in the orchard, Roarpines, and Dogwood. At first, the Clan cats' intrusion is just a minor inconvenience, another few cats to compete with for resources that are abundant anyways. But before long, the Clan starts to lay claim to this territory, pushing out those that call these places home.
The loners are poorly equipped to deal with this intrusion; unlike the Clan, each stands alone, and is thus powerless against the strength in numbers that the Clan cats have. But as GraceClan lays more and more claim to outside territory, the loners may have no choice to put aside their differences and fight back together, or else risk losing their homes forever.
In the past seasons, many more she-cats than toms have been born. This seemed like a blessing at first- more future queens for the Clan means more future kits, right?- but before long, the shortage of toms became obvious, as there have not been enough to assign mates to all of the young she-cats, and thus even with their warrior names given, many young she-cats remain without mates. To some, of course, this comes as a relief; they may not have to fulfill the Clan's expectations of motherhood after all. To others, it is a curse, that StarClan doomed them to stay alone and barren. To all, it seems as though the Clan may be cursed, as the numbers become ever more embarrassed; that, perhaps StarClan is punishing them for some unknown wrongdoing. But what? Some claim that the mothers who do not give birth to toms must be to blame, somehow failing to fulfill their duty to the Clan by providing the necessary kits for future generations. Others feel that the Clan as a whole must have strayed from its path, to be punished so by fate. In such a climate, it is only natural that each cat feels more pressured than ever to toe the line of obedience, that each wrongdoing and each straying from the warrior code be identified and punished all the more harshly, and that cats be ever watchful and suspicious of their Clanmates, all the more willing to point out disobedience and dissent, certain that it is of course not them that is the source of the problem.

Meadowstar determination & courage
โพ she-cat. || 46 moons. โพ sleek, slender tortoiseshell she-cat with golden eyes and a ginger tail. Meadowstar has a fiery personality all around, earnest in everything that she does. She is outgoing, friendly, and involved with her Clanmates, fierce and brave on the battlefield, and determined and focused during a hunt. She pursues every problem with the same kind of determination and fervor, no matter how insignificant it may seem, always ensuring the well-being of her Clanmates before all else. The best part of Meadowstar's personality, however, is that unlike many cats in GraceClan who demonstrate these traits, for Meadowstar, they are all genuine. She legitimately cares for her Clan above all else, being determined and selfless no matter what. However, though her energy and patience may seem boundless, the constant needs of her Clan does tire her out and there are times when she desperately wants only to take a step back and have some time to herself. Meadowstar also desperately wishes to truly fall in love, but she knows this can never happen as though her mate died long ago, the warrior code has bound her to him forever and she is forbidden to take another mate. โพ Meadowstar's early life was nothing much to speak of, as she lived a relatively normal kithood within GraceClan- emotionally distant parents, lots of siblings, and with the inevitability of having to find a mate hanging over her head. Meadowstar always loved being a warrior, hunting and fighting beside her Clanmates, and she savored every moment of it as she had resigned herself to a life in the nursery after becoming a warrior. She was lucky in that she was able to choose her best friend, Lionthorn, as her mate; she knew that he would care for her, and be a good father to her kits, and he had always loved her even though he knew she did not love him back, at least not romantically. However, shortly after Meadowrose earned her warrior name, Lionthorn was killed in a border fight with a group of particularly vicious rogues, stripping Meadowrose of her best friend but also freeing her from her obligations of motherhood. Without the burden of rearing kits, Meadowrose was able to prove herself extremely capable even from a young age, quickly becoming deputy and then one of the few female leaders in GraceClan's history. โพ former mate is Lionthorn.
Snowfang protectiveness & humility
โพ tom. || 42 moons. โพ large, well-muscled pure-white tom with pale blue eyes, torn ears, a stumpy tail, and distinct scars on his left shoulder and over his left eye. Snowfang is known to be a bit of stoic, stern, and solemn cat, something that can be a bit off-putting to those who are not familiar with him, as he can come off as being aloof or cold. However, in actuality, he is just quiet and serious. He sees no reason to waste chatter on silly things, and he's not really one to play or joke. He says and does what he means, and seeks to demonstrate his skill and competence through demonstration and action rather than idle boasting. Despite his emotional distance, he is quiet protective of his Clanmates, though his kin most particularly. He can be a bit overprotective, and as with most GraceClan cats he takes the word of StarClan and the warrior code very seriously; either of those being flippantly disobeyed is one of the few things that will truly infuriate Snowfang, and he is known to be especially intolerant of disobedience of that caliber. โพ As a young cat, Snowfang was very different than how he is now: playful, rambunctious, and rebellious, Snowpaw constantly disobeyed his elders and broke the warrior code in minor ways. His most serious infraction, however, was that he befriended an outsider, a loner named Leon. The two were close for many moons, until Snowfang became a young warrior, and eventually the two confessed their love for one another. But shortly after, a terrible storm came to the territory. Leon was killed in that storm when the river flooded, and Snowfang's mother and young sister were killed as well. Though he never told anyone of this, Snowfang always felt that the storm, and the deaths of those he loved, were at least in part his fault, caused by his severe disobedience to the Clan and the code. He has been more quiet and subdued ever since, and has been careful to never set a paw out of line, and to spare others the same fate. โพ mate is ?. Parents are Leafslip and ?. Sister is Olivepaw.

Bramblefur respectability & morality
โพ tom. || 39 moons. โพ a large, dark tabby tom with a wild pelt and sharp yellow, bramblefur is quite the intimating tom. his bulky appearance suits him well, since his personality is also quite daunting. he isn't the kindest cat around, with a ready tongue and quick hostility. obviously, bramblefur isn't very friendly with other cats and prefers to be alone. even with his unnerving disposition, this tom isn't arrogant or boastful. actually, he has a deep respect for those higher in power and is one of the most respectable cats you will ever meet, despite his antagonistic ways. bramblefur is quite wise and intelligent and easily reads other cats. secretly, he does not agree with the way GraceClan is run and would like to someday see a change. he finds it unfair that she-cats don't get enough respect in the clan and don't exactly have a chance to find their place in clan life. โพ bramblefur grew up without knowing his father and without siblings. he was an only child and was incredibly close with his mother. he did everything to make her proud and she was his biggest role model. he was always grateful for what she did for him. nightbird, his mother, suddenly became distant a few moons after bramblefur was apprenticed. she didn't speak or do much, just laid around with a faraway look him her eyes. she also would start disappearing for a couple of days and return only during the nighttime. her son was growing very concerned by her behavior and would try speaking with her, but she still wouldn't say a word. the medicine cat didn't know what to do with her. one fateful day, nightbird left to never return. bramblefur was grief stricken and his entire personality switched. he didn't search for her much since he assumed she had passed away. bramblefur doesn't really believe in StarClan but hopes for the possibility to see his mother one more time. โพ mother is Nightbird. Assigned mate is Fawnpetal.
Daisywindpatience & honesty
โพ tom. || 38 moons. โพ small, short-furred gray tabby tom with round green eyes and a white muzzle and tail-tip. Daisywind is known to be a sincere and honest tom, straightforward and genuine in all he does. He is legitimately kindhearted and trusting, to the point of being considered a bit naive, gullible, and easy to take advantage of. He's the sort of cat to wear his heart on his sleeve, so to speak, and makes little attempt to hide his emotions- at least, the positive ones. He comes off as being almost frustratingly wholesome, always seeking to ensure his Clanmates are okay and cared for. However, Daisywind also feels a great deal of self-doubt and frustration with himself. Though he tries to be kind and friendly, he often feels distant from his Clanmates, and insecure with his admittedly limited ability to hunt and fight, and with no way to express these emotions, they are left to build to anger and resentment for himself, the Clan, and his Clanmates. But of course, that he would never show. โพ history. โพ mother is Aspenleaf. Assigned mate is Sleekfoot.
Thistletuftcharm & wit
โพ tom. || 31 moons. โพ tall, sleek black tom with yellow eyes, a very long white-tipped tail, and a white muzzle, chest, belly, and paws. Thistletuft is a friendly and well-liked cat in the Clan: sociable, charming, humorous, and optimistic. It seems that there is never a situation he can't turn around and make positive, a cat he can't comfort or cheer up, a walled-off heart he can't reach. To an extent, this personality is true to who he really is. He is truly friendly and kind, and his charming personality and sense of humor is legitimate. However, he gets tired of it, eventually, and he feels that now he is always tired of it. The endless optimism has worn him thin, and he no longer believes the world is a bright place. Though he cares if others are hurt, he has ground through his emotional capacity to actually care or empathize or relate, and his comforting words are more like going through the motions. He makes others laugh, but the humor, for him, is long spent. Now, it seems he lives his life in a glittering haze: charming, comforting, laughing, and feeling nothing all the while. โพ history. โพ littermate is Fawnpetal. Assigned mate is Dapplefern.
Fawnpetalgentleness & love
โพ she-cat. || 31 moons. โพ petite brown she-cat with yellow eyes, tabby stripes on her face, darker ears, and a white tail-tip, paws, and small patch on her chest. Fawnpetal is best known for being quiet. She is reserved and humble, staying out of her Clanmates' business unless they ask, never boasting, and for that matter, rarely speaking unless spoken to. She is kindhearted to her Clanmates, offering a shoulder to cry on when they need, and full of affection for her mate and kin. However, this quiet and reserved personality is, in its entirety, a show. She puts on this facade because it is easy; easy to say nothing and pretend to be happy about it than to say and do what she means. Fawnpetal is, in reality, fiery and opinionated. She is an extremely skilled hunter and skilled fighter, but she downplays her skills and stays silent about her pride for them. She cares little for her Clanmates, besides her brother, and for that matter tends to resent them all a bit. She can be very bitter, but she keeps it to herself. She is getting to the age where she is expected to become a queen soon, but keeps finding excuses to put it off. She wants a family, but she knows that under these circumstances she will likely grow to resent her kits, and that's what scares her more than anything. โพ Fawnpetal was an energetic and outgoing kit, at first. She was curious and eager to explore, and constantly outclassed her brother in any game they played. Her mother, however, was determined to berate these traits out of her. Time after time, she was told to slow down, be proper, let her brother take the lead, don't tell other cats her opinions unless they ask. "No tom will want you as a mate if you're loud," she was told. "No tom will want you as a mate if you're stronger or better at hunting than them. They'll resent you." And so she did. At first just to sate her mother: she was quiet, she followed her brother's lead, she didn't boast. Her older Clanmates looked down on her less and she learned it was easier to fade to the background and be what they expected than to constantly defy them, to constantly be torn down for being who she was, for being opinionated and competent. And she never stopped resenting them for it. โพ littermate is Thistletuft. Assigned mate is Bramblefur.
Flintfootwisdom & humility
โพ tom. || 30 moons. โพ Flintfoot is a smoky grey tom with amber eyes and long legs. Flintfoot is a very humble tom, denying any praise that comes his way. Because of this, he has some-what low self esteem and doesnโt think much of himself. He tends to keep to himself, socially awkward with other cats. Heโs very skilled at hunting,but is not the best at fighting. He doesnโt really care for fights, and is mostly a coward during battles. He has a soft spot for kits, and can often be seen playing with them when they are old enough to be outside of the nursery. His low self esteem tends to make people surprised when he offers his opinions, and wise words often come out of his mouth. He would be better off talking more, but he canโt bring himself to socialize with many cats. โพ Clanborn โพ littermate is Sleekfoot. Assigned mate is Applecloud.
Sleekfoot. pragmatism & loyalty
โพ she-cat. || 30 moons. โพ slim, long limbed havana brown molly with a well muscled frame. larger than average ears, a long muzzle, and narrow, bright green eyes. & rather distant from other cats, when she speaks it's to the point and she sees no purpose in sugarcoating words. while she's an excellent hunter and would probably be a decent fighter if she got the chance, it matters little to the clan- she is a molly, after all. sleekfoot is blunt and not afraid to stand up for herself, but that harshness does little to endear her to others. the warrior also carries a fierce prideful streak and can quickly become defensive and overly wary when questioned. nevertheless, she has a strong sense of moral responsibility and strives to repay debts, even to the point of overworking herself. most graceclan cats don't like her very much, especially because she shows zero inclination to take a mate, but her skills and diligence keep them from outright outcasting her. Sleekfoot is ace/aro. โพ wip. โพ littermate is Flintfoot. Assigned mate is Daisywind.
Snakefang compassion & fierceness
โพ tom. || 28 moons. โพ Snakefang is a sturdy tom with a more muscled body than either of his sisters. He sports a coat of coal fur that is almost black with faint tabby stripes upon it. There are patches of white on his paws, chin, and tip of his tail. He has evergreen eyes that stare at you with a calculating glare. With tufted ears and a thick coat, he is more like his father than anything. With that, he has the height of his sister, who got it from their mother, and loves being taller than others. Snakefang might look tough but he is a gentle-soul. He would never harm anything.. The only times he is fierce, is when his family's life is on the line. He turns into a savage beast and will earth and sky to save his sisters. When in battle, he hates harming others but knows it's for the better of the clan. He just thinks of his sisters and goes on with life. โพ Snakefang was always the protector of his small little family. He was always there when they needed him. But when his parents died, he let Azureriver take the reigns. It was a hard process for him and he is still learning to cope with his sister being more grown up. โพ Older Brother to Azureriver and Silverpaw. No mate as of yet
Cottonwing. compassion & enthusiasm
โพ molly. || 26 moons. โพ in appearance, nearly the epitome of a graceclan cat, with a small, willowy frame and long, soft white fur. despite looking fairly fluffy, her fur isn't particularly thick, making it look almost like down feathers on a bird. the tips of her ears and tail are tufted, and she has a small muzzle with a pale pink nose. her eyes are a pale greenish-brown. & cottonwing, on the surface, is the sort of car that graceclan members point to as an example of what a molly should act like. she's genial and cheery, always willing to lend an ear and putting others before herself. it's not hard to like her, with her sweetness and sense of humor. sure, she's a bit of an airhead, but it's easy to look past. but like many other cats of graceclan, cottonwing internalizes most of her thoughts. she has a crippling fear of being rejected and views one person not liking her as a confirmation that she's utterly worthless, borne of pressure from her clan. her ditzy laziness is a feeble disguise that nobody cares to look past- the molly is severely depressed and self-loathing, rarely finding the energy or want to continue and often getting lost in negative thoughts. but her lack of gratitude would show everyone how worthless she is, so she forces it all down with smiles and focuses solely on others. even so, it's only a matter of time before she can't handle this anymore. โพ wip. โพ assigned mate was Skypaw.
Cinderrose loyalty & diligence
โพ she-cat. || 25 moons. โพ cinderose is a spindly dilute calico with grey-blue eyes. like many of her clanmates, she has a willowy appearnce, but this is unusual for her breed. she must have some exotic breed in her, given her narrow face and large ears. she is quite the attractive cat, but beauty can only run so far. this she-cat can be quite narcissistic, unfortunately. she is very prissy in her ways and isn't very pleased when things don't go her way. this overwhelming personality trait drives others away from her, which is honestly one of her insecurities. she isn't oblivious to her stuck-up attitude and sometimes wishes for a change. if you're close to her she is quite the loyal cat; this can show in her hard work for her clan. cinderrose may be bratty, but she isn't all that bad. โพ growing up outside of the clan made cinderrose's arrival in the clan a little rough on her. the new customs were quite daunting and strange to her. cinderrose didn't even come from the forest; she was the daughter of kittypet who was mainly used for breeding. she never knew her father. the litter's mother wasn't very loving of her kits (mainly because she knew they would get taken away anyways) and that always kind of stuck with the former kittypet. she did end up becoming adopted by a large family who didn't treat her very well. cinderrose ran away after a few weeks of suffering in the twoleg home and took refuge in the forest. she was still young when she joined GraceClan's ranks, joining as a six moon old apprentice. maybe the reason why cinderrose is so selfish is because she never learned how to love another. she still is wary of the idea of being forced to get a mate. โพ assigned mate is Paleflight.
Dapplefernenergy & adventurous spirit
โพ she-cat. || 24 moons. โพ ginger she-cat with a white speckled coat and green eyes. Is a talkative, energetic cat that always likes to be busy. She is rather snobby and she likes to play nice, but usually has hidden meanings behind her words. She loves exploring and being in the middle of everything and tends to try to be in the spotlight every chance she gets. She loves to gossip and can be found with the elders listening to their stories about what goes on in the camp. She has a soft spot for kits and she enjoys playing with them as she longs for the day she has a litter of her own. She has a mischievous side and likes to play small pranks in others, especially her siblings. โพ She was raised in the clan along with her siblings. Their parents are both deceased. Their mother, Longpoppy drowned in the river and their Father, Branchfur, died of old age. โพ parents are Longpoppy and Branchfur. Littermates are Paleflight, Applecloud, and Skypaw. Assigned mate is Thistletuft.
Paleflightintelligence & honesty
โพ tom. || 24 moons. โพ Pale ginger tom with green eyes. He is a quiet tom that always seems lost in his own world. He is very laidback and has been called lazy many times by his sister, Dappledfern, but heโs really not. He just likes to go with the flow. He is honest to a fault and is not very tactful in his deliverance, so tread carefully if you desire his opinion. He comes across a cat that doesnโt enjoy the company of others, but he really does, he just usually doesnโt know what to say. However, if you can get him talking, you will find that he is truly a kind cat; with a dry sense of humor that he hides under a shy exterior. He lacks faith in Starclan and he doesnโt understand why so many cats put so much trust in them. To him, after cats die, theyโre just gone and if there is an afterlife, he doubts that their ancestors really care what goes on in the lives of that cats they left behind. โพ Hhe was raised in the clan along with her siblings. Their parents are both deceased. Their mother, Longpoppy drowned in the river and their Father, Branchfur, died of old age. โพ parents are Longpoppy and Branchfur. Littermates are Dapplefern, Applecloud, and Skypaw. Assigned mate is Cinderrose.
Applecloudloyalty & compassion
โพ she-cat. || 24 moons. โพ Blue-grey with a white patch on her chest and amber eyes. Applecloud is a small, friendly cat that is always willing to lend a helping paw. She tends to spread herself too thin with her promises of aid and she has to be constantly reminded to slow down. She seeks to please others and she values the opinions of others almost a bit too much. She works hard at being an excellent warrior and can be found practicing her battle moves or hunting skills right along with the apprentices. She never feels like she is good enough and always wants to improve. She was very close to Skypaw and took it very hard when he left. She even considered leaving with him, but in the end she decided to stay with her clan. But now she feels like she has to prove her loyalty to her clanmates. She doesn't care much about having a mate or kits, but she will do her duty just like most Graceclan cats. โพ She was raised in the clan along with her siblings. Their parents are both deceased. Their mother, Longpoppy drowned in the river and their Father, Branchfur, died of old age. โพ parents are Longpoppy and Branchfur. Littermates are Dapplefern, Paleflight, and Skypaw. Assigned mate is Flintfoot.
Azureriver grace & kindness
โพ she-cat || 22 moons . โพ Azureriver is a blue she-cat with darker blue tabby stripes. These stripes are more blotched than the regular stripes you might see on another cat. She has the classic longs legs (though she is taller than the rest of her clanmates), elegant muzzle, long tail, and lean body of any she-cat in her clan. On the other hand, she has Maine Coon and sports some of the classic tell-tale signs such as a plumy tail and tufted ears. With that, her fur is sleek and shiny with a pair of dazzling blue eyes to go with it. She is quite a sight to behold with her different colored fur. When seeing a cat like Azureriver, one might assume she is rather bratty and loves to keep her fur clean at all times. Well, she is quite the opposite. She is kind to all that meet her and even though she is not as sweet as her brother, she can sure rival him there. She loves to talk with anyone about anything really, especially when they are fantastical stories of before. But as soon she she steps out of the clan, Azureriver is a different cat. She is more adventurous and daring, taking any challenge coming her way. She'd rather spend time outdoors than confined in the camp if it were up to her. When she returns, she goes back to be the perfect example of a queen-to-be and acts as if nothing happened. โพ Azureriver had a quiet life with her parent sand older brother. But, ever since her mother (Moonpetal) and her father (Crowtail) died, she had taken it upon her to take care of her younger sister. โพ Sister to Snakefang and Silverpaw. Assigned mate is Swanfrost.
Owlstrike loyalty & kindness
โพ she-cat. || 22 moons. โพ Owlstrike is a dark brown tabby she-cat with white paws and blue eyes. She's a very energetic she-cat and takes on her duties with pride. She's very excited about the prospect of having a family, but also doesn't want motherhood to define her. She's often the first to volunteer for tasks, however, is hesitant with anything outside her comfort zone. She's also a push-over, wanting to please and make everyone happy. โพ Owlstrike has had a relatively normal clan life, her mother and father both passing due to illness, however she holds little grief. โพ assigned mate is Snakefang.
Swanfrost discipline & loyalty
โพ tom. || 20 moons. โพ Swanfrost is a tall, slender black tom, with a white chest, white legs, and a white markings over his eyes shaped the faintest bit like wings. He has a thin face, pale green eyes, and a long, thin tail. Swanfrost was named for his cold and stern nature, and he can be a bit difficult to get along with, but he allows himself to remain open enough to avoid gathering any stigma for his nature. He can be rather strict with apprentices, even if they aren't his own, and his near expressionless face, lack of body language, and flat tone can make it hard to tell what he's thinking. Despite everything, he closely observes the traditions of the clan, and does what is asked of him without question. Gay, but unaware of this. โพ Swanfrost was the only kit in his litter, quiet and distant even from the start. Despite a bumpy beginning, he quickly learned what was expected of him and adjusted to fit it. He walked with more grace, became unquestioningly obedient, and held himself with silent dignity. It would take quite a bit to make him question his clan's traditions. โพ assigned mate is Azureriver.
@nettles
Violetleaf dignity & grace
โพ she-cat. || 18 moons. โพ Violetleaf is a tall and slender blue gray she-cat with a white chest and ear tips and almond-shaped leaf green eyes. Honor, grace, dignity, rectitude, these are the kinds of virtues that would describe Violetleaf perfectly. They are the virtues that she lives by and holds dear to her heart. Violetleaf is a proud and dignified sort of cat. She is not very tolerance for folly and she "does not suffer fools gladly", in her own words. She is always conscious of her self image and what kind of image she presents to other cats, so that she's always taking care to present herself as a respectable cat, elegant and deserving to be in her clan. She will hide anything and everything that may cast a shadow against her or her clan. TO let anything stain that pristine image would be to show weakness of character, to show yourself as incompetent and a fool, and she must hide and solve on her own, no matter what. โพ Violetleaf has lived in GraceClan all her life, yet it was not a happy kithood. She'd witnessed her parents unhappiness, two cats who were completely incompatible yet chosen to be together by StarClan. Her father had shouted abuse at her, though her mother would shout back, and on a few ocasions they would fight, though Violetleaf would not witness it many times, but she knew it went on when she wasn't around or when they thought she was asleep. Her father was constantly unfaithful to her mother, flirting and messing around not just with other she-cats in the clan, but also loners and rogues that would sometimes cross their borders in passing. Her mother would hide it all and to cats from the outside she would simply smile and say everything was fine, her mate was a pillar of support and look at her darling daughter, how cute she was!Smile, darling, be polite and speak when you're spoken too. Yet behind other cats' back she would criticize Violetleaf for every small error she made and push her to be better and the best and above all, to find a good tom who would do her right. And she had better smile all the way through. She tried. Violetleaf had tried so hard to be the best at hunting and the best groomed she-cat in the Clan. But it had all been for naught. The one tom she had liked he had rejected her without giving it a thought. Now she is a warrior and fearful for the day StarClan would choose her mate for her. But come what may, she will take it all in stride, and smile all the way through. โพ Open for siblings and for mate
Silverpaw
โพ she-cat. || 11 moons. โพ Silverpaw likes to think she has the beauty of her older sister. She has a stark white coat with patches of silver and black along her body. On her face, there is a large patch of black that covers her right eye while the other side remains white. Her eyes are huge and doe-like with one being a light green and the other being an icy blue. The blue on being of the right side of her face. She really doesn't look like her siblings being that she has short fur, a thinner tail, and no sign of tufted ears. Silverpaw was always honest about everything. If she doesn't like how you look , she will tell you. She loves to talk her mouth off and is sometimes annoying to the older cats by doing so. With that, Silverpaw likes to take life on without a worry in the world and growing ever more curious everyday she breathes. โพ Silverpaw has never know her parents. The only thing she remembers is the scent of her mother and how Azureriver has a very similar scent. When her sister took the place of mother, Silverpaw wouldn't think of anyone else as her mother. She is still upset how StarClan took away her parents at a young age but she'd rather continue on with life than think about the past all the time. โพ Younger Sister to Azureriver and Sankefang. No interest in any tom yet.
Scoutpaw
โพ she-cat. || 10 moons. โพ sturdy ginger tabby she-cat with pale blue eyes and a white chest, paws, and tail. Scoutpaw is an energetic, forward, and friendly young she-cat. She says what she means, which is usually innocent and silly, and never stops questioning or exploring. She is eager to learn and eager to hone her skills as a warrior, though she knows that like all others she is expected to eventually take a mate and have kits, the reality of this situation doesn't seem to have truly dawned on her. For now, she is young and energetic and curious, oblivious to the scolding views and chastising words of her elder Clanmates, and she feels unstoppable. โพ history. โพ littermate is Whiskerpaw.
Whiskerpaw
โพ tom. || 10 moons. โพ thick-furred, well-muscled gray tom with yellow eyes, darker ears and a darker stripe running down his spine, and a lighter gray patch on his right shoulder. As the tom in his litter, Whiskerpaw is of course expected to be the strong, skilled, proud, and dutiful one. This, also of course, could not be farther from the truth. Whiskerpaw is laid back to the point of being considered lazy. He is relatively unmotivated, lacking ambition and merely going with the flow. He is a bit clumsy and not particularly eager to put effort into developing his skills. He is far from being a provider, not caring much about the feelings of his Clanmates, or their well-being; not because he is callous- far from it- but simply because he is too young and too sheltered to understand yet that the world does not in fact revolve around him. โพ history. โพ littermate is Scoutpaw.
Ebonypaw
โพ tom. || 9 moons. โพ ebonypaw his name quite well - he is a jet-black tom with a feathery pelt. his frame is smaller than it looks (thanks to his pelt) and his limbs are quite long for his age. the one thing he does lack, however, is a tail, which he was born without. an extra toe on his hind paws make up for the missing tail, so it seems. his eyes are a soft shade of green with hints of gold flecked in them. this apprentice is as illusive as he looks - quite the opposite of his littermate. he is the silent type and doesn't enjoy socializing very much, unless it is with his sister or a close friend. ebonypaw would much rather do his own thing than be bossed around by others, but doesn't complain much since that's just how things were. he does, however, have a playful side and enjoys playfighting with his sibling. โพ born and raised in GraceClan, ebonypaw's history doesn't have anything worth knowing in it. โพ littermate is Coalpaw.
Coalpaw
โพ she-cat. || 9 moons. โพ coalpaw and her brother are almost carbon copies of each other, both having pitch black fur that is on the fluffy side. she has the same lengthy body as he does, except she was actually born with a tail. her hind paws also have an extra toe, which she doesn't hesitate to brag about. her eyes are the reverse of her sibling's; mostly yellow with hints of green in them. if ebonypaw was a pristine lake, coalpaw was a blazing fire. vivacious and loud, coalpaw seems to have a limitless amount of energy. she could not sleep for a few days and still be bouncing off the walls. she is also quite the mischievous feline and can get in trouble quite frequently. this apprentice can be quite the handful, but she's very endearing loves to help. โพ having spent her whole life within the camp of GraceClan, coalpaw doesn't possess a very interesting backstory. โพ littermate is Ebonypaw.

Scorchkit.
โพ tom. || 4 moons. โพ a fluffy dark gray kit with orange patches around his chest and face, as well as a mainly orange ruff of fur and front leg, with dark gray, almost black paws. his eyes are amber. he has a long, sharp muzzle and wiry build already forming under all the fluff, which looks somewhat strange. the kit's tail is long and bristly, and his ears are small but sharply pointed. cheerful and open-minded, if very scatterbrained. scorchkit seemingly lacks the ability to stop moving. earnestly and overly curious in everything around him. he's very much a people pleaser, disliking verbal confrontation and trying his best to resolve disputes, though his attempts to placate everyone involved end up helping nobody most of the time, especially given that he's not the most eloquent speaker, even for a kit. while serious matters can keep his attention, it's very hard to instruct him on anything given his lack of focus- again, a case of him trying to learn about everything but ending up with very little to show for it. though older cats often find him grating and dislike his constant questioning, he gets along well with cats his own age due to his friendly, accepting nature and genuine empathy. โพ wip. โพ littermate is Berrykit.

Skypaw
โพ tom. || 24 moons. โพ white and pale grey tabby tom with blue eyes. โPrim and Properโ would be the best way to describe Skypaw. He is always eloquent in his manners and well groomed. He may have been born a clan cat but he never enjoyed the life of one. He likes his life as a kittypet and getting spoiled by the twolegs. Although he misses his family and some aspects of clan life, he feels like he just didnโt belong amongst his clanmates, all of the rules, and he especially didn't want to be forced to mate with a she-cat. Instead, he wanted to mate for love. So, he ran from his clan. A part of him desires to go back, but he thinks it best that he stays where he is. However, sometimes you can find him hunting in the forest when he thinks that there is no one around. โพ Raised in the clan along with his siblings. Their parents are both deceased. Their mother, Longpoppy drowned in the river and their Father, Branchfur, died of old age. Left the clan to live with the twolegs at the Big farm. โพ parents are Longpoppy and Branchfur. Littermates are Dapplefern, Paleflight, and Applecloud.
Buck
โพ tom. || 30 moons. โพ Buck is a typical siamese tom, cream colored pelt with dark brown points and blue eyes. He has a torn ear he gained in a scrap with a dog. โพ Buck tries to be a friendly face everycat comes across. He was on his own when he got dumped by twolegs and now he attemtps to help cats who are own their own. He's a roamer and doesn't settle down for very long. When he meets a cat, he typically offers them something, although his friendliness can be a weak spot and many cats have left him open to betrayal. He doesn't let this get the best of him though, and continues to look to others with a very strong optismism. โพn/a
Rapidlash humility & determination
โพ she-cat. || 29 moons. โพ Rapidlash is a massive, broad-shouldered dark ginger tabby, with white hind paws and a white front right paw. She has bright amber eyes, large paws, and a thick pelt littered with scars, with two forming an x-shape across her chest, a nicked ear, claw marks on her right hindquarters, and the scars from a bite wound on her left shoulder. Despite her burly and aggressive-looking appearance, Rapidlash is rather humble, and even a bit playful, showing enjoyment in the smallest things, an expressing unusual patience. Despite this, once she does get an idea in her head, it can be difficult to change her min, even if it's obviously not a good idea. One she gets in a fight, she won't stop until her opponent flees or she's dead, an her bull-headed determination can get her in trouble. She's usually friendly enough to Graceclan cats, but can be passive-aggressive with high-ranking clan cats and toms. โพ Rapidlash is a current loner, and former member of Graceclan, where she was known as Gingerlight. Even from the beginning, she failed to meet the social expectations, always throwing herself into battle and showing no interest in toms. This was because her romantic interests leaned towards she-cats, and only a moon after she became a warrior, she fled her clan late at night, unable to tolerate the idea of being forced into a relationship with a cat she didn't like, and having no desire to bear kits with a tom. While she is usually nonviolent, she can be short-tempered with Graceclan toms and high-ranking cats, and shows strong distaste for the Warrior Code. She now lives at the fringes of their territory, going by the name Rapidlash. โพ n/a, open (lesbian)

(If I need to change anything, please let me know! I was also unsure what to do towards the mate department, but they are all open to anything. )) Dapplefern Energy and Adventurous spirit
โพ She-cat || 24 moons . โพ Ginger with a white speckled coat and green eyes. Is a talkative, energetic cat that always likes to be busy. She is rather snobby and she likes to play nice, but usually has hidden meanings behind her words. She loves exploring and being in the middle of everything and tends to try to be in the spotlight every chance she gets. She loves to gossip and can be found with the elders listening to their stories about what goes on in the camp. She has a soft spot for kits and she enjoys playing with them as she longs for the day she has a litter of her own. She has a mischievous side and likes to play small pranks on others, especially her siblings. โพ She was raised in the clan along with her siblings. Their parents are both deceased. Their mother, Longpoppy drowned in the river and their Father, Branchfur, died of old age. โพ Littermates with Applecloud, Paleflight, and Skypaw.** Paleflight Intelligence and Honesty
โพ Tom|| 24 moons. . โพ Pale ginger tom with green eyes. He is a quiet tom that always seems lost in his own world. He is very laidback and has been called lazy many times by his sister, Dappledfern, but heโs really not. He just likes to go with the flow. He is honest to a fault and is not very tactful in his deliverance, so tread carefully if you desire his opinion. He comes across a cat that doesnโt enjoy the company of others, but he really does, he just usually doesnโt know what to say. However, if you can get him talking, you will find that he is truly a kind cat; with a dry sense of humor that he hides under a shy exterior. He lacks faith in Starclan and he doesnโt understand why so many cats put so much trust in them. To him, after cats die, theyโre just gone and if there is an afterlife, he doubts that their ancestors really care what goes on in the lives of that cats they left behind. โพ He was raised in the clan along with his siblings. Their parents are both deceased. Their mother, Longpoppy drowned in the river and their Father, Branchfur, died of old age. โพ Littermates with Applecloud, Dapplefern, and Skypaw.**
Applecloud Loyalty and Compassion
โพ She-cat. || 24 moons. . โพ Blue-grey with a white patch on her chest and amber eyes. Applecloud is a small, friendly cat that is always willing to lend a helping paw. She tends to spread herself too thin with her promises of aid and she has to be constantly reminded to slow down. She seeks to please others and she values the opinions of others almost a bit too much. She works hard at being an excellent warrior and can be found practicing her battle moves or hunting skills right along with the apprentices. She never feels like she is good enough and always wants to improve. She was very close to Skypaw and took it very hard when he left. She even considered leaving with him, but in the end she decided to stay with her clan. But now she feels like she has to prove her loyalty to her clanmates. She doesn't care much about having a mate or kits, but she will do her duty just like most Graceclan cats. โพ She was raised in the clan along with her siblings. Their parents are both deceased. Their mother, Longpoppy drowned in the river and their Father, Branchfur, died of old age. โพ Littermates with Dapplefern, Skypaw, and Paleflight.**
Skypaw
โพ Tom|| 24 moons. โพ white and pale grey tabby tom with blue eyes. โPrim and Properโ would be the best way to describe Skypaw. He is always eloquent in his manners and well groomed. He may have been born a clan cat but he never enjoyed the life of one. He likes his life as a kittypet and getting spoiled by the twolegs. Although he misses his family and some aspects of clan life, he feels like he just didnโt belong amongst his clanmates, all of the rules, and he especially didn't want to be forced to mate with a she-cat. Instead, he wanted to mate for love. So, he ran from his clan. A part of him desires to go back, but he thinks it best that he stays where he is. However, sometimes you can find him hunting in the forest when he thinks that there is no one around. โพ Raised in the clan along with his siblings. Their parents are both deceased. Their mother, Longpoppy drowned in the river and their Father, Branchfur, died of old age. Left the clan to live with the twolegs at the Big farm. โพ Littermates with Applecloud, Dapplefern, and Paleflight **

(look good! Just a note, I think I'm gonna completely redesign the territory bc... well, I just don't like it right now. But there will still be a farm or twolegplace of some kind so that shouldn't affect Skypaw all that much. As for mates, looks like most of my cats are a bit older than would really make them compatible with yours, but Thistletuft could probably be assigned to Applecloud or Dapplefern, whichever you think would be better. I don't have his personality written out yet for comparison, unfortunately.)
Skypaw, Applecloud, Paleflight, and Dapplefern. I wasn't sure if you meant she was ginger with white speckles or white with ginger speckles so I made a version of both.

((That's fine, I can adjust Skypaw's description if I need to as well. As for their age, I made them that young because it seemed to be just under the cut off age for assigned mates, but if it makes it easier to make them older, I can. Also, for Thistletuft if you think he would be okay with either or, it might be better for him to be with Dappledfern than Applecloud. Just because I believe that Dappledfern wouldn't be opposed to on older assigned mate as Applecloud would. Applecloud just doesn't want to mate yet, which is why she considered leaving with Skypaw's (other than them being very close) so she'd probably be unhappy if she at least didn't get to choose her mate. Lastly, Dappledfern is Ginger with white speckles and those tiny cats are very cute.))
Edit: (Before I forget, thanks for letting me join. I look forward to role-playing here. c:))

(Venom : yes, of course ^^
lavishly : sure, Thistletuft + Dapplefern is fine with me. Applecloud still would have a mate, though. She-cats are given mates at their warrior ceremony [sorry if that wasn't real clear], preferably with a tom about her age [ a young warrior, or apprentice her age or slightly younger] but if there aren't enough toms around her age, then she might be paired with a slightly older warrior. But, most toms end up getting a mate- if not before, during, or shortly after their warrior ceremony- before about 25 moons old. So for example, Fawnpetal would be too old to have been paired with Paleflight or Skypaw because when she became a warrior they would have still been kits, or only just became apprentices. If that makes sense. But yeah, Applecloud would already be assigned a mate, but she doesn't have to have kits just yet. The longer she waits, though, the longer other cats might start to look down on her.)

Cinderrose loyalty & diligence
โพ female. || 25 moons.
โพ cinderose is a spindly dilute calico with grey-blue eyes. like many of her clanmates, she has a willowy appearnce, but this is unusual for her breed. she must have some exotic breed in her, given her narrow face and large ears. she is quite the attractive cat, but beauty can only run so far. this she-cat can be quite narcissistic, unfortunately. she is very prissy in her ways and isn't very pleased when things don't go her way. this overwhelming personality trait drives others away from her, which is honestly one of her insecurities. she isn't oblivious to her stuck-up attitude and sometimes wishes for a change. if you're close to her she is quite the loyal cat; this can show in her hard work for her clan. cinderpoppy may be bratty, but she isn't all that bad. โพ growing up outside of the clan made cinderrose's arrival in the clan a little rough on her. the new customs were quite daunting and strange to her. cinderrose didn't even come from the forest; she was the daughter of kittypet who was mainly used for breeding. she never knew her father. the litter's mother wasn't very loving of her kits (mainly because she knew they would get taken away anyways) and that always kind of stuck with the former kittypet. she did end up becoming adopted by a large family who didn't treat her very well. cinderrose ran away after a few weeks of suffering in the twoleg home and took refuge in the forest. she was still young when she joined GraceClan's ranks, joining as a six moon old apprentice. maybe the reason why cinderrose is so selfish is because she never learned how to love another. she still is wary of the idea of being forced to get a mate. โพ n/a, but open to them.
Ebonypaw Virtues
โพ male. || 9 moons.
โพ ebonypaw his name quite well - he is a jet-black tom with a feathery pelt. his frame is smaller than it looks (thanks to his pelt) and his limbs are quite long for his age. the one thing he does lack, however, is a tail, which he was born without. an extra toe on his hind paws make up for the missing tail, so it seems. his eyes are a soft shade of green with hints of gold flecked in them. this apprentice is as illusive as he looks - quite the opposite of his littermate. he is the silent type and doesn't enjoy socializing very much, unless it is with his sister or a close friend. ebonypaw would much rather do his own thing than be bossed around by others, but doesn't complain much since that's just how things were. he does, however, have a playful side and enjoys playfighting with his sibling.
โพ born and raised in GraceClan, ebonypaw's history doesn't have anything worth knowing in it. โพ his sister is coalpaw.
Coalpaw Virtues
โพ female. || 9 moons.
โพ coalpaw and her brother are almost carbon copies of each other, both having pitch black fur that is on the fluffy side. she has the same lengthy body as he does, except she was actually born with a tail. her hind paws also have an extra toe, which she doesn't hesitate to brag about. her eyes are the reverse of her sibling's; mostly yellow with hints of green in them. if ebonypaw was a pristine lake, coalpaw was a blazing fire. vivacious and loud, coalpaw seems to have a limitless amount of energy. she could not sleep for a few days and still be bouncing off the walls. she is also quite the mischievous feline and can get in trouble quite frequently. this apprentice can be quite the handful, but she's very endearing loves to help. โพ having spent her whole life within the camp of GraceClan, coalpaw doesn't possess a very interesting backstory. โพ ebonypaw is her brother.
i hope this works for you! let me know if there should be any changes (:

(okay, idea for a plot. There's the farm nearby, that Skypaw lives at; maybe there are other barn cats as well, perhaps a fairly large group. Not all of them have to live IN the barn, but basically, lots of farm cats who are sort of friends but not really a cohesive group, they just live on the same farm. The farm has some land around it- a few fields, an orchard, etc.- that are not really considered part of the Clan's territory because they're "tainted" by twolegs. But, because the Clan puts pressure on cats to have big families, and the last few years have been pretty mild and plentiful, so not a lot of cats have died. This seems like a good thing, but eventually prey starts becoming scarce, and cats begin to realize that they're over-hunting their territory- they need more if they don't want to starve. So, they start hunting in the fields and orchard. Just a little bit at first, so that the farm cats are like... okay, weird, but whatever, as long as they don't bother us. But the Clan is like. Hmmm. There's a lot of prey here. Good untapped territory. So they start taking it over, chasing away the farm cats that they meet there, so the farm cats start to get mad about that. maybe they band together, maybe they don't, but there would certainly be individuals trying to fight back against GraceClan for taking what is essentially their territory.
Dunno how everyone feels about it but it could be interesting?)

((I understand about Applecloud. Paleflight and Cinderrose would be fine by me. It sounds as though they would be good together because she has a few similar characteristics as Dappledfern. Also, the plot would be fine.)) Edit: ((Sometimes I come across as a complete idiot, which I promise I'm not. (I am only partially one. c;) But I can change my joining form to add the coding.

Azureriver Grace & Kindness
โพ She-cat || 22 moons . โพ Azureriver is a blue she-cat with darker blue tabby stripes. These stripes are more blotched than the regular stripes you might see on another cat. She has the classic longs legs (though she is taller than the rest of her clanmates), elegant muzzle, long tail, and lean body of any she-cat in her clan. On the other hand, she has Maine Coon and sports some of the classic tell-tale signs such as a plumy tail and tufted ears. With that, her fur is sleek and shiny with a pair of dazziling blue eyes to go with it. She is quite a sight to behold with her different colored furWhen seeing a cat like Azureriver, one might assume she is rather bratty and loves to keep her fur clean at all times. Well, she is quite the opposite. She is kind to all that meet her and even though she is not as sweet as her brother, she can sure rival him there. She loves to talk with anyone about anything really, especially when they are fantastical stories of before. But as soon she she steps out of the clan, Azureriver is a different cat. SHe is more adventurous and daring, taking any challenge coming her way. She'd rather spend time outdoors than confined in the camp if it were up to her. When she returns, she goes back to be the perfect example of a queen-to-be and acts as if nothing happened. โพ Azureriver had a quiet life with her parent sand older brother. But, ever since her mother (Moonpetal) and her father (Crowtail) died, she had taken it upon her to take care of her younger sister. โพ Sister to Snakefang and Silverpaw. No mate as of yet
Snakefang Compassion & Fierceness
โพ Tom || 28 moons . โพ Snakefang is a sturdy tom with a more muscled body than either of his sisters. He sports a coat of coal fur that is almost black with faint tabby stripes upon it. There are patches of white on his paws, chin, and tip of his tail. He has evergreen eyes that stare at you with a calculaing glare. With tufted ears and a thick coat, he is more like his father than anything. With that, he has the height of his sister, who got it from their mother, and loves being taller than others. Snakefang might look tough but he is a gentle-soul. He would never hamr anything.. The only times he is fierce, is hwne his family's life is on the line. He turns into a savage beast and will earth and sky to save his sisters. When in battle, he hates harming others but knows it's for the better of the clan. He just thinks of his sisters and goes on with life. โพ Snakefagn was always the protector of his small little family. He was always there when they needed him. But when his parents died, he let Azureriver take the reigns. It was a hard process for him and he is still learning to cope with his sister being more grown up. โพ Older Brother to Azureriver and Silverpaw. No mate as of yet
Silverpaw
โพ She-cat || 11 moons. โพ Silverpaw likes to think she has the beauty of her older sister. She has a stark white coat with patches of silver and black along her body. On her face, there is a larga patch of black that covers her right eye while the other side remains white. Her eyes are huge and doe-like with one being a light green and the other being an icy blue. The blue on being of the right side of her face. She really doesn't look like her siblings being that she has short fur, a thinner tail, and no sign of tufted ears. Silverpaw was alwasy honets about everything. If she doesn't like how you look , she will tell you. She loves to talk her mouuth off and is soemtimes annoying to the older cats by doing so. With that, Silverpaw likes to take life on without a worry in the wolrd and growing evver more curious everyday she breathes. โพ Silverpaw has never know her parents. The only thing she remembers is the scent of her mother and how Azureriver has a very similar scent. When her sister took the place of mother, Silverpaw wouldn't think of anyone else as her mother. She is still upset how Starclan took away her parents at a young age but she'd rather continue on with life than think about the past all the time. โพ Younger Sister to Azureriver and Sankefang. No interest in any tom yet.

((Hello! I'm going to leave Applecloud and Skypaw alone for now, but here are some starters for Paleflight and Dapplefern.))
Paleflight: Paleflight laid near the warriors den with his eyes closed and a soft purr rising from his throat. His pelt was warm to the touch as he rested in a patch of sun that peaked through the leaves of the groove of trees that shielded the camp. He knew that there was probably something that he should be doing. But at the moment, all he wanted to do was enjoy the heat of the sun on his fur. Paleflight loved summer. The territory was full of prey, the weather was usually nice, and the clan thrived at this time of year. It also fed his lounging habit. When the weather cooled, it was hard for Paleflight to get out of his nest. Then, once he was awake, he would have to keep moving to stay warm. Which was fine he supposed, but for a cat who wasn't always bouncing off his paws, the constant need for activity always wore him out. He didn't mind the spring and he liked splashing around in the puddles that the rainy season created. But it just wasn't as hot as summer was and that made a difference to the tom. Sighing contentedly, Paleflight flicked his tail, oblivious to the activities happening around him as he was lost in his own thoughts.
Dapplefern:
Dapplefern padded through the meadow enjoying the feeling of the warm dirt underneath her paws as she walked. The tall, thick grass around her disguised her presence as she wove through the field of green. The smell of summer wildflowers drifted through the air, tickling her senses. She was on her way to the river, intent on catching a few fish to bring back to the clan. As she arrived at her destination, the she-cat marveled at the glistening water. The river flowed by quickly, though not so fast that it was dangerous for an experienced swimmer. The sun made the water surface sparkle, causing it to look refreshing and inviting and Dapplefern couldn't fight the desire to go for a swim. She bounded up to the river's edge and slipped into the current, letting it push her downstream. She figured she could ride the water till Stonebridge and then she could swim out and fish from the other end of the river towards Darkpines. With a squeal of delight, the she-cat dove underwater and then came back up, enjoying the feeling of the cool water in the heat of summer.

sleekfoot. pragmatism & loyalty
โพ molly. || 30 moons. โพ slim, long limbed havana brown molly with a well muscled frame. larger than average ears, a long muzzle, and narrow, bright green eyes. rather distant from other cats, when she speaks it's to the point and she sees no purpose in sugarcoating words. while she's an excellent hunter and would probably be a decent fighter if she got the chance, it matters little to the clan- she is a molly, after all. sleekfoot is blunt and not afraid to stand up for herself, but that harshness does little to endear her to others. the warrior also carries a fierce prideful streak and can quickly become defensive and overly wary when questioned. nevertheless, she has a strong sense of moral responsibility and strives to repay debts, even to the point of overworking herself. most graceclan cats don't like her very much, especially because she shows zero inclination towards motherhood, but her skills and diligence keep them from outright outcasting her.
โพ her parents, fernskip and pebbleleap, despite wanting to follow graceclan norms, had had difficulty conceiving kits, and it had begun to affect their social standing within the clan. as such, when sleekkit and her brother, swiftkit (who was obviously the runt and had health problems ) were born, their parents made up for lost time by heavily pressuring the two of them to be exemplary in their respective roles, sleekkit as a demure future queen and swiftkit as a warrior. both had little freedom even as children, the young molly forced to spend most of her time in the nursery and her sibling being taught fighting moves from a young age, or made to report to his father on the patrols going in and out of camp. naturally, sleekkit quickly became a bit stir-crazy, and spent most of her childhood learning the best ways to avoid her parents and instead listening to stories in the elders den, learning the ins and outs of the warrior code quickly. swiftkit, similarly, had no time to himself and didn't really get to spend time with anyone his own age- barring his sister, who quickly became his confidant. as apprentices, however, sleekkit's luck began to look up, as the older tom she was apprenticed to was much more interested in actually teaching his apprentice how to perform warrior duties then continue keeping her sheltered. at his father's request, swiftkit was apprenticed to one of the senior warriors, who worked him much harder than his undersized, sickly form could really bear- and given his submissive personality, he didn't speak up for himself. the only one who really did was sleekpaw, as the two siblings relied on each other for friendship more now than ever, but all that accomplished was giving her a reputation for being argumentative. one day, the typical cold snap of the season set in, and he rapidly became sicker and sicker. A minor strain of colds had hit the camp, which normally wouldn't have been enough to kill anyone, but it was too much for his weakened immune system. he perished quietly after a feverish delirium drew him out of the medicine den, found only a few feet out of camp by a few elders who could do nothing but comfort him as he died. the death of her brother left sleekpaw isolated from any friendships in the clan, and she focused all her efforts on her warrior duties, cutting interaction with her parents, who she blames for the incident. โพswiftpaw, open for siblings from younger litters, mate is daisywind
cottonwing. compassion & enthusiasm
โพ molly. || 26 moons. โพ in appearance, nearly the epitome of a graceclan cat, with a small, willowy frame and long, soft white fur. despite looking fairly fluffy, her fur isn't particularly thick, making it look almost like down feathers on a bird. the tips of her ears and tail are tufted, and she has a small muzzle with a pale pink nose. her eyes are a pale greenish-brown. cottonwing, on the surface, is the sort of car that graceclan members point to as an example of what a molly should act like. she's genial and cheery, always willing to lend an ear and putting others before herself. it's not hard to like her, with her sweetness and sense of humor. sure, she's a bit of an airhead, but it's easy to look past. but like many other cats of graceclan, cottonwing internalizes most of her thoughts. she has a crippling fear of being rejected and views one person not liking her as a confirmation that she's utterly worthless, borne of pressure from her clan. her ditzy laziness is a feeble disguise that nobody cares to look past- the molly is severely depressed and self-loathing, rarely finding the energy or want to continue and often getting lost in negative thoughts. but her lack of gratitude would show everyone how worthless she is, so she forces it all down with smiles and focuses solely on others. even so, it's only a matter of time before she can't handle this anymore. โพ wip. โพ mate was skypaw, open for siblings/parents
((Hope sleek's ok. I've used her before and thought she would naturally cause drama in this clan.)) ((Also going to make a medicine cat ((app?), and apprentice((nature name of some sort)), both male to balance out my gender ratio, if that's fine. I think it'd be fun to make one of those apprentices part of a pair of twins that are indistinguishable in appearance and very mischievous, but if nobody's interested that's fine, haha.))

Owlstrike Loyalty and Kindness
โพ she-cat || 22 moons? . โพ Owlstike is a dark brown tabby she-cat with white paws and blue eyes. She's a very energetic she-cat and takes on her duties with pride. She's very excited about the proscpect of having a family, but also doesn't want motherhood to define her. She's often the first to volunteer for tasks, however, is hesitant with anything outside her comfort zone. She's also a push-over, wanting to please and make everyone happy. also since you stated LBGTQ cats are allowed, can she be bi? โพ Owlstrike has had a relativily normal clan life, her mother and father both passing due to illness, however she holds little grief. โพ N/A yet
Flintfoot
Wise and humble โพ Male. || 30 moons โพ Flintfoot is a smoky grey tom with amber eyes and long legs. Flintfoot is a very humble tom, denying any praise that comes his way. Because of this, he has some-what low self esteem and doesnโt think much of himself. He tends to keep to himself, socially awkward with other cats. Heโs very skilled at hunting,but is not the best at fighting. He doesnโt really care for fights, and is mostly a coward during battles. He has a soft spot for kits, and can often be seen playing with them when they are old enough to be outside of the nursery. His low self esteem tends to make people surprised when he offers his opinions, and wise words often come out of his mouth. He would be better off talking more, but he canโt bring himself to socialize with many cats.
โพ Clanborn โพ n/aBuck n/a
โพ Male || 30 moons โพ Buck is a typical siamese tom, cream colored pelt with dark brown points and blue eyes. He has a torn ear he gained in a scrap with a dog. โพ Buck tries to be a friendly face everycat comes across. He was on his own when he got dumped by twolegs and now he attemtps to help cats who are own their own. He's a roamer and doesn't settle down for very long. When he meets a cat, he typically offers them something, although his friendliness can be a weak spot and many cats have left him open to betrayal. He doesn't let this get the best of him though, and continues to look to others with a very strong optismism. โพn/a

(all the new cats look great! I'll add them, and make sprites for them as soon as I can. Alas, I have work in about 20 minutes, and since I'm moving towards the end of next week [ a sudden but necessary decision] I'll probably be busy, so I may not be on a lot. I'll try though! Definitely to have everything updated tomorrow, at the latest.)
(edit: also, just saw the question about rogues. Yes, rogues are totally allowed. No guarantee they'll be able to join the Clan, though. It's possible, but it heavily depends on roleplay.)

Cinderrose ;; { lavishly - graceclan camp }
The morning sun, filtering through the den's entrance, shone directly into Cinderrose's eyes and forced her awake. The dilute calico grumbled with irritation and rolled over onto her back, the sun now warming her backside as she tried to relax. Falling asleep had been a difficult task the night before and she had intended to catch up on sleep. Though summer's sunrises were becoming earlier each day and being a light sleeper, the she-cat was waking up when the sun rose. She was aware of cats already out of their nests and up for the day, but "early" for her was awhile past dawn.
The pale-furred feline let out another grumble as she realized that sleeping was not an option and uncurled herself from the nest beneath her. Cinderrose stretched languidly before sitting back down to groom herself. The warrior didn't like her sleek fur getting ruffled at night and had to make herself presentable each day. No cat should leave the den with moss clinging to their fur, according to the rather vain molly. With one last swipe of her tongue, Cinderrose finally exited the warriors' den. Her pale eyes immediately landed on Paleflight, who was lounging peaceful just outside of the den. She had to suppress a twinge of exasperation towards her mate; it was understandable he would enjoy such warm weather. She knew how much the tom loved summer. Even so, the calico didn't mind disturbing his contentment. She trotted over to him and pawed at his flank to get his attention.
Ebonypaw / Coalpaw ;; { @ anyone - graceclan camp }
The two black-furred littermates were already up and at it, munching on a squirrel they had decided to share. Though Ebonypaw had already finished and was grooming his whiskers, while Coalpaw continued to chow down. She had always had the larger appetite of the two. The tom was contemplating on what they would do that day - recently he had been growing rather bored with the pace their apprenticeship so far. Though a laid-back cat, he did enjoy some excitement in his life. Coalpaw felt the same, even more so. She was already planning how her day would go - she would go hunting, maybe play fight with her denmates, listen to some elders' stories.. the usual. The young she-cat had a lot more kitlike tendencies than her brother, who often found her presence annoying. Endearingly, that it.

Azureriver, Cottonwing, Owlstrike, Sleekfoot, Snakefang, and Silverpaw, in that order.
Lol it was my intention to make the cats a bit more variable, with having noticeably longer fur and stuff like that, but I haven't had time to do any more than fairly minor alterations to the sprites. So, if I end up having time where I can go back and make them a bit more distinct, I will, and I'll retroactively update all the cats' sprites. But for now, unfortunately, color changes and minor physical changes will have to do.
On another note, relationships and mates! I noticed that Azureriver and Owlstrike are both 22 moons old. Maybe they could be littermates? Don't have to be [two litters could totally be born around the same time] but figured I'd point out the parallel. As for mates.... Because of ages, mainly, I was thinking Daisywind and Sleekfoot? Their contrasting personalities might be interesting, with Sleekfoot being a bit more fiery and ambitious and Daisywind being fairly passive. I could see it being somewhat functional, too, since Daisywind wouldn't try to pressure Sleekfoot into having kits or anything, so it would sort of work out for her, though I can't envision either being especially happy with the situation [which is exactly what I'm going for]. Snakefang has a lot of options in his age range: Fawnpetal, Cottonwing, Cinderrose, and Applecloud. Sleekfoot, too, if you don't like the idea of Sleekfoot & Daisywind. Snakefang & Cinderrose might be interesting since it seems like Snakefang is very family oriented, and Cinderrose most decidedly isn't, so I could see how they might resent each other and feel like they just got "stuck" together. Finally, Paleflight, who also has a lot of options: Cottonwing or Cinderrose, of course, as well as Azureriver and Owlflight. He and Cottonwing might make a dramatic match, since Paleflight can be a bit blunt in his criticisms and Cottonwing is sensitive to criticism. Unfortunately, there's a distinct shortage of toms right now lol. An option, then, could be that maybe Skypaw had been paired with a she-cat a bit older with him, but even though he left, she's not allowed to take a different mate. This could also be interesting with Cottonwing [who would be the perfect age, being a couple moons older than him], as she could possibly feel like being paired with her is part of what drove Skypaw to leave. Idk. In any case, this is all just my two cents. Feel free to decide for yourself what matches you think would work best for your characters' personalities and stories. Hopefully, we'll get enough toms soon that most of the she-cats can have matches.))
