i also feel very tempted to make some more characters even if i haven’t really been replying that much ejfheueh,, I have some ideas but idk.  As for shipping/compatibility, here’s my characters: OwlClan: Chiveseed: I could totally see her being with someone a lot more quiet and reserved. Considering her snarky personality, she’d 100% be overprotective of them, and probably tease them as her way of flirting. I think someone similar to her could possibly also work, but I’m not quite sure.
edit: Just thought of something for her. Perhaps she’d be a pretty good candidate for a cross-Clan relationship. Since she’s a rule-follower, it’d be interesting to write and read about her being torn between her heart and her beliefs. imsocheesyhaha😭 I think it could make for some pretty nice drama.
Sleetpuddle: Since he’s pretty quiet and whatnot, I love the idea of somebody who can bring him out of his comfort zone. It could make for an endearing character arc as well. A slow-burn type thing definitely suits him. SwanClan: Flickerflame: I like the idea of her finding someone in a different Clan, since she likes to do that a lot. I’m not too sure what personality would really mesh well with hers. She’s pretty full of herself and extremely selfish, sooo…? 🤔 I don’t know if a genuine relationship could work out with her, but maybe a friendship? |

tbh if everyone's over 35ish age gap means nothing. Under that and you start getting into "fresh warrior" territory, and you gotta start watching out for like, how long they've been together/crushing cuz apprentices and stuff. More just power imbalance with seniority.
That's why I usually prefer rp'ing older cats (40+ moons) cuz they aren't old old, but they're established and can have a good year+ of experience as a warrior before the rp. iirc people calc'd out the average retirement age in the books to be something like 120 moons, with some serving even longer so like, they got a long while to go haha

Poor Berryeye </3 He's lucky Tiger's got his back. When the inevitable occurs, Ravenswoop's gonna go off on a revenge-driven monologue and Berryeye will just be stuck there like. "I have no idea who you are" and Ravenswoop will short-circuit and have to rethink her whole plan little blu ♥ Nah, nah, you're good! I have a tendency to get attached to friendly people really quickly and it hasn't always been reciprocated in the past, so I'm reluctant to start labeling folks as friends after a few positive interactions ^^' I'm always surprised and pleased when someone else calls me friend first! Because I'm silly and sentimental like that cx re: age - I would imagine that cats bond most closely with those in the same general age group. So they'd be more likely to have crushes, friendships, rivalries, etc. with those who were apprentices with them or at around the same time they were apprentices. That's not to say they couldn't have relationships with cats even a year older than them, but like. They'd probably be more familiar with those in their "graduating class" or the "underclassmen," so to speak. If that makes any sense at all. Poppy would've been 35 moons at the time Fox was apprenticed, so while she's only a year and a half older, that's actually old enough to have been Fox's mentor... and actually... that's not a bad idea... 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 Honestly, I'm surprised we made it to 6 pages on the chatting/plotting thread without bringing up shipping! I'm excited to see your ideas and your new characters whenever you get around to posting them 👀 |

Most of my characters are taken, but I can give some quick personalities for friendships Rainhowl - He's super uptight. Literal knight/paladin vibes with how much he cares about appearances and honor and doing the right thing always no matter the consequences. He's aro so he wouldn't reciprocate any feelings, but he's pretty on the ball with dealing with romance; he's not afraid to bluntly tell someone he's not interested, but probably will ignore anything subtle. He'd get along with anyone that believes in order and rules and chivalry, and would despise anyone flaky, insincere, or that goes against the grain in any significant way; he doesn't really care for deviance from social norms.
Tawnystripe - Loyal to Molewhisker full stop. She's a family-oriented kind of cat that can be overprotective of her family and close friends. Def a bit of a helicopter parent and a karen-type. She is confident with her knowledge and her experiences and will project herself onto every problem. But even if she's a bit hover-y, she is with no doubt a brave cat that will do anything to protect those she loves. She'd get along with anyone who doesn't question or challenge her, and might chafe against those who are also headstrong. Tawny would bond with anyone over family issues and wouldn't hesitate to adopt stray souls that lack parental figures.
Ashstripe - Available and a total lesbian. She's young and a mess right now, blustering through life because she doesn't have the self-confidence to moderate her actions. She's all out all the time. She's open to having lots of rivalries for competitive cats, no matter which Clan. It would be interesting to see if anyone can make her feel safe enough to let her vulnerabilities show; I'd see that happening with a calm, honest kind of cat that is patent enough to make her feel heard and respected. I think she'd benefit a lot from having a close friend in another Clan that she feels like she can open up to without having to interact with them every day. She would love to talk about flowers with someone. |

Aww, I love Ashstripe <3 She and Foxblaze really are so similar in a lot of ways. They could almost be twins.
I hope she finds the flower-loving femme of her dreams. She deserves it.

Ooo, I need to get in on this shipping compatibility! Owlclan: Beeswipe: He'd get along with a lot of cats, but I think he'd really appreciate someone who actually wanted him, who wanted to have in depth conversations and pay as much attention to him as he does to everyone else. From the current list of she-ats, it'd probably be someone a little or a lot younger than him, but so long as they were in the same stage of life and both established warriors, I think it'd be cool. He's probably not a candidate for cross clan romances, as he'd never give up Owlclan, and he's basically nocturnal. (possibly would play nice with Poppyfeather little blu ♥ ?) Jumppaw: Needs someone to encourage her to be brave and loud. Someone who's safe to be quiet with, too. But probably she needs to gain confidence in herself. I doubt any teenage romances would work out well long term, but I kinda think the idea of setting a romance up to fail with her is really appealing, actually. Crowclan:
Shadepelt: Is done with romances, at this point in her life, but her friends and family and clanmates are now the most important things in the world to her.
Sunclaw: He's a twat. Why would you subject your poor cats to him? But no, he'd be exceptionally loyal to a mate, especially one who could accept his flaws and allow him to lower his guard. Possibly would be a good candidate for cross clan romance? Definitely would be unapologetic if he decided to move clans, or if someone moved for him.
Coldpaw: My sweet,constantly questioning boy. He'd need someone who he could bounce ideas off, who was also full of questions, who wanted to explore the world and solve it's puzzles together. As Ferncurl's son, he feels pressure to live up to her legacy, which would make for an interesting storyline if he got caught up in a cross clan romance. Particularly if it was a Swanclan soumates one, which he'd probably straight up refuse to accept - starclan deciding romances makes no sense to him!
Brownie Sand I love how this leaves the dynamic between Mole/Tawny and Bee! Bee would be very respectful of Mole, but also, when the loneliness gets bad and he can't control it, jealous. Mole has like, everything Bee wants in life haha Yacinthe Tealraven , I think Shadepelt probably took half the bushes with her, got bruised up from falling, and potentially her overgrown claws hurt her own footpads. So a little banged up, but nothing serious! (also I have so many posts to catch up on, but flexible timeskips sound like a great idea!) |

little blu ♥ also I noticed you updated the clan allegiances. Me and tiri decided Ferncurl was Hustlejump and Shadepelt's older litter child, and that Coldpaw would be Ferncurl's son with her deceased friend Longfoot. I think I updated their profiles but I might not have. I'll post any new cats in a new post but also add them to the old one jsut so they're all in one place but also easy to find if that's ok

Tiri Now, I thought I read somewhere that Coldpaw was Shadepelt's youngest child and Duskbreeze's younger half-brother? Has that changed or am I just wrong? Ah, nope! No, Duskbreeze was Shadepelt's youngest - but her other, living daughter is Ferncurl, the deputy. And Ferncurl is Coldpaw's mother! So they're still related, but grandson-grandma. I think from current canon Ferncurl is Duskbreeze's full sibling, but about 50 moons older, so they might not have been that close |

Most of my cats are open for whatever.
Brambleshade- Overall chill and charming, I don't know if he would know what flirting is or if he would be a natural at it.
Amberfire: Always on the grind I can see her being with someone who gets her to stop and be present in the moment. Also hoping she realizes she likes she-cats too and gay panics.
Duskclaw: Thinks he can flirt but he definitely can't. Acts all put together, but is anxious most of the time. Needs someone he can confide in and be reassured that everything is okay.
Silverdawn: This is a tough one cause I have a few headcannons about her previous relationship. If I had to guess, she would need someone mature, level headed and someone to call her out when she is being a little to mean. Or someone she can gossip with.

Ah. So I was just wrong then. Happens. x]
So... Ferncurl and Duskbreeze were siblings but not close; Ravenswoop was Duskbreeze's wife; Coldpaw is Ferncurl's son and therefore Duskbreeze's nephew...? But, would he have necessarily had any sort of relationship with Dusk if Dusk and Fern weren't close?
...I'm very confused rn, ngl xD

ikr I only have OwlClan cats and I'm trying so so hard to keep from making more. I'm sticking to these and making their arcs good! no spreading thin this time!! Tealraven yep! young adults with little validation that are full of imposter syndrome and eager to not seem weak. I remember being that person, still am in a lot of ways, and it'll be fun to let them grow into themselves <333 I love our blue team cats, they are going to be the best and closest group if they don't get themselves killed first. Tiri sunclaw is an honorary blue team member tbh |

But, would he have necessarily had any sort of relationship with Dusk if Dusk and Fern weren't close? ...I'm very confused rn, ngl xD The family tree is definitely getting complicated! I think, given Dusk died before Cold was apprenticed, and Cold was small and weak for most of his kithood, he probably has memories of her, but never had a very close relationship with her? If he'd been stronger or if she'd lived longer, I imagine she'd have gotten pestered with questions, but alas. Also I really sincerely love how important Dusk is, even though she's dead
Brownie At some point Sunclaw's going to turn up on the border and flirt with, maybe fight all of blue team |

Ferncurl is just quite old and very serious. I imagine her upset about the whole thing and wanting to sort it out but reminding herself that she is in a position of power. tbh mayeb her and Ravenswoop have a strained relationship because raven thinks she should be more angry like her and should be doing something more about it as the deputy? |

Also I really sincerely love how important Dusk is, even though she's dead LMAO I assure you it wasn't my intention to make her that important but I'm glad everybody's cool with it I guess what I was trying to figure out is if Ravenswoop would've had any sort of relationship at all with Coldpaw. Like an informal auntie-nephew sort of gig. She strikes me very much as the "cool lesbian auntie/mom." Duskbreeze probably suggested adopting to her at one point and she was secretly over the moon about the idea but they never got a chance. edit: I cannot keep up with you guys! xD Yacinthe I like the idea of Ravenswoop having a strained relationship with deputy Ferncurl! |

Hmm, I know that Ferncurl had Coldpaw (and his dead littermates) as a way of contributing a legacy to the clan... Yacinthe, Teal, what would you think about that having originally been intended to provide kits for Ravenswoop and Duskbreeze to raise? Like, Ferncurl was going to be involved, but ended up way more closely involved when the litter had major health problems and needed far more nursing attention, and then Duskbreeze died, and it's all very sad?

Mmmmmaybe? That seems a little complicated, but I can work with that.
Does Coldpaw know, though? I mean, is he closer to Ferncurl (bio mom) or Ravenswoop? Would Ravenswoop be sadly watching Coldpaw grow up from afar, Coldpaw never knowing that he was supposed to be her kiddo?
So many options @.@

If it did, it'd mean that Ravenswoop has been having the Absolute Worst Time Ever. I think it'd entirely depend on how Ferncurl approached motherhood, and what it means to her. And how she wanted to balance that with being deputy, maybe? From the sounds of the clan history, Cardinalstar hasn't been leader for long, which means it's probably also pretty new to Ferncurl |

sorry everyone, i had some ideas about ships and friendships but i decided to try and do my characters first and that was a mistake...
i've managed to get myself deeply discouraged and upset, feeling insecure and such over the quality, so i scrapped what i had. it's been a night. i need to calm down, so i'm going to get off for now, i'm sorry everyone. ; - ;
i'll be on tomorrow for sure and maybe, if people are still up for it, i can offer the ideas i had for relationships then...

I'm not sure if Ferncurl would have had a kit for Ravenswoop and Duskbreeze since she is ace and having a kit at all was already A Thing, I can't imagine her doing that for someone else and it def is starting to sound a little too complicated lol

Yacinthe That's all good! Let's keep it simple then <3 I'm really excited to interact with Ferncurl, she seems like such a cool character, like this pool of calm confidence and ultimate example of crowclan competence little blu ♥ that sounds like a rough time! You make wonderful characters, but I know it's not always easy to feel like it. You don't need to be sorry though, your mental health is far far more important!!

Don't apologize, blu! I love your characters! I'd be happy to see your ideas tomorrow if you still want to share them, but if not, that's okay too. Give yourself a break and look over it again in the morning with fresh eyes <3

little blu ♥ Your characters are great Blu! There’s no need to apologize, feel free to offer your ideas whenever you feel better! If you don’t want to, that’s also completely fine. Roleplaying is a team effort after all, so we can all pile up ideas together and find something we can all agree on. <3
