( That's the truth! c: Oh, cool! I'm guessing you know how to play then? I never learned any instruments, aside from the trumpet when I was in middle school, but I've always been fascinated by the piano. Never had the money for lessons when I was a kid though. cx )

{Yep, I've been playing for about ten years! Trumpet must have been fun! I don't think I would have enough breath in me to play any brass or woodwind instruments though, considering how easily I get winded, haha Yeah, that's the problem with piano, lessons get quite expensive :/}

( -pokes head in- piano you say?? π Still working on my characters but I saw y'all talking about instruments and couldn't resist xD I used to play, but then I took a hiatus when I got too busy with school. I'd love to start taking lessons again, though! But first I need to relearn how to play. Muscle memory can only get you so far, I'm afraid. rip )

{That's too bad, Teal! D: I've always been afraid to take more than a month break for fear of losing muscle memory - some of my friends who used to play always say that if they take even a few months off they lose basically all their skills. It's pretty much the entire reason I plan to minor in piano performance in college because that's the only way I'll have a practice room I can use frequently cx }

( That makes sense! Tbh I also started having wrist pain at around the same time, so the hiatus was semi-mandatory :/ But I recently found out that my piano teacher's teacher was a student of Liszt! How crazy is that? Definitely inspires me to start playing again.
slightly off-topic, but I'm considering claiming Timberheart, if that's alright with you? ^^ )

{Wrist pain is definitely understandable, I've been having pretty bad shoulder and back pain from being too tensed when I play piano lately, so I completely understand needing the break. In all honesty I still need to go see a physical therapist for that but oh well xD
Wow! That's insane! I guess it really is a small world after all haha. I haven't played much Liszt but I do remember really enjoying one of his Etudes I played for a competition years ago.
And absolutely, Timberheart will be in good hands ^^ }

( I find your piano conversation oddly cute! Dunno why, but thought I'd let you both know. c: It sounds like you both are very talented! I was a mediocre trumpet player at best but that's okay. Sometimes you try things and they don't work out. I gave it my best. ^^ Yay, their little family is coming together! xD )

( aw ^^ that's actually a great attitude to have about trying new things, though! I hope playing the trumpet was still a fun experience for you.
same, Fallow. A lot of my friends were in band & orchestra, so I could kind of relate to them, but not all the way? Privately, it did crack me up whenever somebody would complain about forgetting to take their instrument to practice. Not a problem for me! cx )

{Hehe true, can't exactly forget your giant wooden behemoth of an instrument if you never have to bring it yourself xD
Almost every musical person I meet plays either guitar or clarinet (idk why clarinet, it just seems to be a popular instrument I guess?), even the non-band kids }

( well, here's Timberheart, at least! I'm planning to add another warrior and a rogue later, but I thought I'd throw him up here to see if anything needs adjusting. I haven't written a character around pre-existing relationships before. Lemme know if something needs to be changed! ) Timberheart || Tom || 32 moons || Warrior A solid brown tom with amber eyes. Timberheart is a sturdy, muscular tom with broad shoulders and powerful legs. He has thick, short brown fur and warm amber eyes. His brawny build and the scar across the bridge of his nose mark him as a skilled fighter, but his kind features and the playful light in his eyes suggest a different personality. || Observant and thoughtful, Timberheart expressed a maturity at a young age that is seldom seen in other apprentices. He paid careful attention to the cats around him, noticing hidden quirks or feelings that went unseen by others, and adjusting himself accordingly to make them feel at ease around him. He was quick to step in and smooth ruffled pelts whenever a dispute broke out, and never showed the same enthusiasm that fellow apprentices did for battle. If Timberheart has any faults to be spoken of, it's that he dreads having to fight and bring harm to other cats. He is non-confrontational and perhaps too merciful when it comes to punishment. But since he's "cursed," as he puts it, with a knack for combat, he's vowed to only use his skills when absolutely necessary. He's fiercely protective of his Clan and his loved ones, and in a rare moment of rage during the rogue attack, he fought and killed one of the invaders. Though he's tried to convince himself it was for the greater good, the guilt of that kill has loomed over him ever since. || His sister is Dawnchill, whom he's always been close with, even if he hasn't always agreed with her... less than tactful way of handling other cats' emotions. But she's improved a lot since becoming deputy, and he's very proud of her. His mate, Brightberry, has been a cautious feline for as long as he's known her, but after training together as apprentices, he came to appreciate her sweet, hesitant nature. Timberheart helped coax her out of that shell when they were younger, and by some miracle, she ended up liking him back. They recently celebrated the birth of their first litter, Moosekit & Larchkit, but Brightberry hasn't been the same since the rogue attack, and he worries for her and their kits.

Lilac || She-cat || 50 Moons || Rogue/Loner Small light brown she-cat with a black face and paws and dark green eyes. Lilac is an unusually small light brown she-cat with fluffy fur. She has black paws and a black face. Her dark green eyes have a hint of light green, pooling in the middle of them. She may be small, but has a lot of muscle to her body. Lilac has a v-nick in both of her ears, and a nice bite size marked scar on her left shoulder from a fox. || Lilac is fierce for her size, quick to take on opponents twice her size. She is known for her speed and her skills in battle. Lilac is wise for her age, easy to come to and confide in. She tries to be easy-going at most points, but wont hesitate to put someone in their place if they are bothering her. || Lilac has no siblings. Her mother is an exact replica of her, named Lily. Lilac no longer has anything to do with her mother, due to the fact that she decided to leave her alone and become a kittypet. Lilac has no idea who her father is. When she was 25 moons old, Lilac got into a fight with a fox. She managed to get away, but not before it took a nasty chunk out of her shoulder, leaving a permanent scar. Lilac prefers to be on her own, but quite often finds herself watching and observing both the clan and the rogue camp. Curious about what life would be like with one of the groups. || {β₯π±π0πππ½ππ3β₯} {One more character I would like to add for now. Until kits are born. }

I was actually just writing up a post of Frostrose out in the spruce forest, hunting alone. I was about to have her catch a squirrel. If you wanna have Russetpaw follow her and sneak up on her.? Or maybe even catch the squirrel when it gets away from her.? I know you said in his description that he likes to know everything and I take that he wants to be a part of everything. Frostrose is a bit distracted about her sister(catching on that she may be expecting kits) and took off without anyone today to think about it. And I can see him being curious as to why she is going off alone and forgetting about him.}

Frostrose:
Crouching in the middle of a fern bush, in the depths of the Spruce forest, Frostrose searched for prey, ice-blue eyes piercing through the undergrowth. She was stiff from crouching so long, the chill of leaf-bare in the air. She was quite aware that leaf-fall was almost over with, dreading the thought of the tough leaf-bare ahead. Her mind flashed to the thought of her sister, Snowheart, who had stayed behind in camp. She was quite aware of the way her sister had spent more time in camp, than out of it now. Feeling quite sick each and every day. With a huff, she decided she would confront her sister tonight, in an attempt to figure out what was going on with her. Shaking her head, and flicking her right ear, she quietly scolded herself, remembering she needed to focus on her hunt, and not her worries of her sibling. Frostrose has already caught and buried a vole and was eager to find a squirrel, aware they were Snowheart's favorite. Figuring sharing it with her later, would help her sister open up to her. Swiveling her head to the right, as a flash of brown fur hit her vision, Frostrose spotted a squirrel. Her heart slowed in her chest as she held her breath and watched it sit, searching beneath the roots of a tree. Cautiously, Frostrose lifted her right black paw, and taking a step forward. Keeping her tail from moving, and high enough not to brush anything, she crept forwards slowly, Excitement starting to creep through her. Just as she was getting close enough to pounce, her paw brushed just right against some ferns, alerting the squirrel, who immediately bolted away from her.

SnowheartSnowheart lay, sprawled out on her side, close to the nursery. Her tongue lapping down the side of her flank, smoothing her long black fur, She kept her eyes closed, ears pricked and swiveling to listen to the noises of her campmates around her. Her sister, Frostrose, had asked her to come hunting with her. Snowheart sighed, quite aware of the disappointment she had felt from her sister when she had politely refused. She was once again, feeling nauseous, and the thought of running through the territory, made her head spin. She brushed her long, flowing tail across the ground, groaning slightly. She was still having a hard time believing that she was expecting kits, and an even harder time trying to figure out how to tell her campmates that she was. She knew everyone would have questions. Wondering who the father of the kits were, and where he was. Even though everyone treated her decently and well, she knew that there was still doubts of her loyalty. She couldn't blame them either. It was her who had run off, leaving her clan behind, and trying to have a life without them. She knew she was quite lucky to be laying here now, in the camp clearing. Her clan did not have to accept her back, but they had, and she knew now, that she couldn't imagine another day without the comfort of her clanmates. She was worried with the days ticking by, that her clanmates would notice her growing belly, especially her medicine cat or Brightberry, one of the queens of the clan. With prayers to her ancestors, Snowheart just hoped that her clanmates would continue to accept her and her kits, especially when finding out that their father was a rogue.

Falcon:
Sitting on top of a large rock, in the middle of his camp, Falcon observed his camp, listening to the sounds around him. His brown tail curled over his massive white paws. His big dark orange eyes, flashed and his large head swiveled towards the oldest cat in his camp. He narrowed his eyes, watching the brown she-cat lightly pad towards him. He had a slight suspicion towards the small she-cat, often wondering what her intentions towards him where. He sat calmly and silently as she sat at the base of the rock he was on, ears swiveling towards her. She was quite wise, reminding her more of an elderly cat at points. Though he was well aware that she had many more seasons left to go, before she could no longer care for herself. His gaze traveled from the nicks in her ears, to the nice scar on her shoulder. He was well aware that the she-cat was skilled in battle and was not hesitant to leave someone with some nasty marks. With a grunt, he turned his attention towards the sky, thoughts drifting towards the she-cat that had left him behind when he was still a loner. His heart ached, as he remembered the spunky black she-cat, and all the fun they had together. Soon his fur along his shoulder blades slowly started to rise, his blood burning with anger. The long-furred she-cat had won his heart over and become his mate, only to leave him to go back to her 'Precious' clan. After she had left, he had become leader of the group of rogues that Snowheart and her clan had feared and despised. His goal was to get his group big enough and strong enough, to wipe Snowheart and everyone she cared about out.
