OC-Tober 19: Inspiration!

For this, I went with who inspires the character rather than who they're inspired by, so here's Chestnutpaw with their mentor, Mapleface (played by @magpiefrost) from @lostcoastclans!

So what’s robin’s story in this?

Ah yes Robinwing

Slight tangent: I want to show believable nature in most of the characters. Be realistic in some places and insane in others. I’ve changed Robinwing from being a just bitch. I want to give her flaws but also make her….well…believable.

She came to the guild as a young outsider, half starved and injured from a fight with a fox. Pineheart allowed her aid and offered her a life in the guild and she accepted.

One wouldn’t be able to recognize her from those days, where she was a shy and nervous cat who was willing to prove herself to the cat she is now.

She was given Nettlewhisker as a mentor and their relationship was like a fire to a tree. Nettlewhisker didn’t want a filthy outsider in his guild and felt insulted that he was given Robinpaw as a cadet. Robinpaw was well angry, she felt herself going in circles to please her mentor but every time she tried, his standards rose, she was repeatedly denied her full name due to this. She was a full grown adult and Nettlewhisker had her running laps.

It seemed to change with Fuzzypelt, a quiet but kind-hearted cat. He had his mother Hollyclaw go to Pineheart about what was happening and the next day, Nettlewhisker was barred from mentoring ever again and she was named Robinwing by dusk.

It was a slow burn of sorts. Robinwing didn’t trust easy to begin with, it was cracked more due to Nettlewhisker but Fuzzypelt was persistent and worked his way into her affections.

They weren’t actually mates (Robin is aro) but they were more than that and it was fine for them.

Robinwing wanted to be the best and help her guild anyway she can, ready to speak her mind no matter what, she wanted to be more than just an outsider a shamed Commander took in and Fuzzypelt supported her,. They had their first kit, Maplewhisker, their pride and joy. It was calm for the family, it seemed fine.

Then, the Second Splintered famine happened. Maplewhisker seemed to follow her moms paws steps in being devoted to guild, at the cost of her health. Robinwing and Fuzzypelt like a couple of others had another litter during this time, four kits, one was dead by dawn and another died a couple days later. Against their better judgement, they had another litter shortly after, already prepared to lose some but worked their best so some would live.

She ends up repeating behaviors that Nettlewhisker used on her and passed it onto her kits.

Robinwing feels like a failure to herself and her kits, she pushes herself hard to make up for it and passes this on to her kits in varying degrees. It’s unintentional but she’s the most lenient on Cherrypaw, it’s mostly due to her resemblance to Maplewhisker.

Chestnutpaw and Thrasherpaw end up pitted against each other with Robinwing coming off as cold and critical which only fuels them.

She doesn’t hate Ravenpaw or dislike him, she just wants him to be better, to be strong, because if he isn’t, the guild will eat him alive like they did her.

moon 6

what do i even say. this moon wasnt very eventful .....chestnutpaw has a skill issue??? maybe??

[wildfire-rewrite]

hmm… what is Sandstorm like?

Sandstorm

Herbalist of the Fall Thunderbringer Sect

Kitten -> Apprentice -> Herbalist

She/her/hers cisgender, poly bisexual

Image IDs below the cut and information.

Grandparents: Crowtail Parents: Redowl, Patchedpelt Siblings: Chestnutclaw, Cherrytooth

Mates: Sun Firesong, Grouseflight Kits: Squirrelflight, Leafpool, Juniperpaw, Birchfall, Foxleap, Shrewbelly Grandkits: Petalblaze, Jaypatch, Hollylarch, Poppyfrost, Fernsong, Sorrelstripe, Sparkwood, Alderheart, Dandelionpelt

Mentor: Lynxstorm Former Apprentice(s): Poppyfrost, Bristlefrost

Sandstorm was close with her cousin, Dustdapple, as a kit. They played often, teasing Ravenpaw, Chestnutpaw, and Cherrypaw. They were a very tight-knit family. Dappletail and Redowl made sure they were close, and that everyone knew they had a support system to talk to. If only it worked. Once Ravencatcher disappeared and was pronounced dead, Dustdapple grew hostile. He began to talk with Darkstripe and Tigerchaser more, agreeing with everything they said. She watched her cousin grow further apart after the death of Chestnutclaw. Then, stop talking to her altogether as she chatted with Fireclaw as friends. Eventually, they start talking again. It takes time, of course it does, but it happens.

Personal Comments:

No real plans for her other than for her to live long and be the foster mother for the Original Three.

I really want her to die old. Her death is the tipping point in TBC.

[ Image ID - An image of Sandstorm in the Wildfire Rewrite. She is a cinnamon and red spotted tortoiseshell with white on her tail tip, paws, and underbelly. Her tortoiseshell dapples are in two spots; one on her face, and one that covers her entire tail and a small patch on her spine. End ID ]

[ Image ID - The same image above, but decorated with accessories. A huge pouch is fastened around her. It is brown and has two additional smaller pouches on the front. Two brown pouches hang off the bag. She wears a large necklace with a chunk of rabbit's fluff tied around it. She wears another necklace, smaller, which has three stones on it, each dyed a different color. The first one is a sage green, the next is a sickly yellow, and the last one is a dull ruddy. End ID ]

Need to share my thoughts I haven’t so finally making my Transfem Dustpelt/Buckpelt post that is who she is in the rewrite and in my heart.

So Buck has a lot of abandonment issues and after a long life of figuring things out after a rough youth he feels better. That is until her first litter comes about with Ferncloud. As the little kits squirm at his mates belly he feels odd. Itchy in his pelt. Every time he’s called a dad it gets worse. After asking Sandstorm she hold his paw and asks if he’s trans. It clicks after a moment and after that she goes on her journey of becoming a molly. With the help of gnc Sandy she starts taking fennel to transition, comes out to her mate who welcomes her with love, and sees her sibling Raven again to come out as the true her, Cowflower the molly.

(Under cut is the full drawn out version for more story liking ppl to enjoy, it is long tho so beware, tho is makes more sense of the arc I love so much)

Buckpelt is the affair child of Robinwing and Stagleap, taken by his dad as a kit before being given back after Stag hated being a dad. He grew up with a rocky life right off the bat and when he’s given back to Thunderclan he’s not fully welcomed. Even as kit little Buckkit was bullied and outcasted especially by his older siblings Cherrypaw and Chestnutpaw. While Fuzzyflower cared for him he couldn’t push the anger towards his cheating mate Robinwing fully out of his parenting.

Buckpaw is made a apprentice and given to Redtail in hopes the wise deputy could help the misguided cat, and it worked. Redtail made him more aware of others as well as acting as a dad figure to him. Redtail never had a dad of his own and knew the pain even if his own didn’t just abandon him like Buckpaw’s did. But he started getting bullied more. Sandpaw disliked how much attention he was getting from her dad so she’d tease him, his older siblings would, and many other headstrong warriors.

Maybe if Redtail had lived all the way through poor Buckpaw’s training and taught the scrap how to handle it and make it into a skill it would’ve be great. But he didn’t. Redtail was murdered and Buckpaw felt the same abandonment he felt when Stagleap gave him up except even worse, because he couldn’t hate Redtail or see him again next gathering. He was gone. And now given to the crueler Darkstripe wasn’t doing well.

Instead of opening up more he closed off. Becoming sharper, quieter, meaner. His anger turned inwards and outwards. He started teasing Firepaw the moment the little kittypet came into camp just beside Sandpaw, both apprentices fueled by grief from Redtail’s death was rough on the clan. And even lashing out at Ravenpaw, his brother and only sibling to ever show a lick of kindness, for any perceived fault.

He never would’ve known how much it’d hurt when Ravenpaw never came home. Ripping that grief wound that barely even scabbed over right open. Instead of becoming more aggressive like before he became emptier. Barely even cared when he was named Buckpelt.

Tigerclaw betrays the clan, he refuses to follow the cat who abused his brother, Darkstripe shames him and all he does is bite his tongue.

It felt like moons of emptiness. No good or bad just nothing at all.

But then he felt something. Buckpelt went to lay down like he always did, following his same routine everyday, when Fuzzypelt came over. He didn’t expect much but instead his whole life changed. His parent showed him how to weave things, while it was rather bad his first try it got better. He asked if he could do secondary training for weaving and excelled.

(Fernpaw was born later and a new apprentice at the start of tnp, trained by Frostfur so by this time she’s already named Ferncloud)

That’s when a new cat comes into his life. Ferncloud. She had always been in his life but they never really talked or hung out. But the more they did they got closer. She had a similar past, a father she never knew, no siblings, outcasted. Except she was so emotional. Not in a bad way but in a way he wished he could be. She shared her every thought and knew how to help everyone.

The two learned to weave things together and slowly crushed on each other for a long time. She was his biggest comfort and he was hers.

And then the battle comes about and Ravenpaw, just called Raven now, is alive. Buckpelt is so overwhelmed with uprooted feelings he can barely breath looking at the cat. Finally they talk. Raven tells Buck about why he left, how their doing, how happy they are. And most importantly who he is now, a non-binary jack and mate of a tom. Buckpelt takes a while to understand but once he does, his own little cracks forms.

At the end of the battle they reunite, Raven introduces Barley and he introduces Ferncloud, and Raven tells him where they live so if he needs a place he knows how to get there.

Ferncloud announces she’s expecting kits, his kits, and the two official date. He is overjoyed and overwhelmed by the idea of a litter making a lot of things for the coming kits.

And then their born. Two little toms named Spiderkit for his odd lanky legs and Shaggykit (Shrewpaw) after Fuzzyflower. Staring at their kits Buckpelt feels the crack that first came about become bigger. Unsure of how to bring it up to his usual source to vent to since she’s now busy with the kits he goes to Sandstorm.

Being the awesome gnc cat she is Sandstorm listens to Buckpelt talk about how he feels odd in his own pelt, how it’s almost itchy and yet he has no fleas. She looks him in the eyes, plants a paw on his shoulder, and asks if he might be a molly instead of a tom. Of course he’s shocked and immediately goes to say no but stops. The egg has cracked open. After a full “oh mouse dung” moment and Sandy helping him through the realization he asks more questions. The more he asks the more she feels better. So many words and things she never knew before.

While it’s hard fully understanding it Buckpelt finally comes out to Ferncloud when their kits are just a moon old and of course Fern congratulates her mate. When asked if maybe she’d like to change her name she agrees and after a loooongggg few days of discussing with those she trusts Buckpelt renames to Cowflower.

Cow in the female deer and flower after her own parent Fuzzyflower (who is actually super genderfluid as well just never explained it lol).

She goes to the farm and tells her sibling who welcomes their new sister with purrs and hugs.

And there- my way too long story of Cowflower who I love with all my freaking heart

It's the last Wednesday of the month, which means it's time for another name poll! Ignore that there wasn't one for April, that is not relevant in any way. May's poll will be the start of a series of warrior names for a group of Thunderclan kits that we'll come to know more in time - Frostfur and Goldenflower's litter! In canon, three of them already have names - Brackenfur, Brightheart, and Thornclaw, while two of them died before they could get their names (Cherrypaw and Chestnutpaw/Cedarpaw). We'll be starting with one of the cats that never got her warrior name - Cherrypaw!

We haven't seen much of Cherrykit yet - other than when she and her siblings were kidnapped by Brokentail's Shadowclan. She'll first be apprenticed in Chapter 26, so of course it might be difficult to decide her warrior name when we've seen so little of her. To help, I've included an excerpt of her apprentice ceremony!

Next was a dappled ginger molly with a similar dark pelt as her brother Cedarpaw, but with small white patches. She trotted up confidently, her green eyes glittering with excitement as she looked up at the leader. “Cherrykit, you have reached the age of six moons, and the time has come for you to be apprenticed.” Bluestar mewed, her eyes shining with pride as she looked down on the young kit. “From this day forward, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Cherrypaw. Your mentor will be Mousefur.”

Mousefur was a good choice, Fireheart thought to himself as he nodded with approval. “Mousefur, you received excellent training from Dappleshine when you were an apprentice. You have since blossomed to become one of the Clan’s best hunters, and I know you can always be trusted to speak the truth. You will be Cherrypaw’s mentor, and I expect you to pass on all you know to her.”

In summary - Cherrypaw is a very eager apprentice who longs to prove herself to the Clan, paired with her mentor Mousefur who also feels she hasn't yet proven her worth as a warrior like her brother Quickflash did. She's a fiery young tortoiseshell, but she still has a big heart - especially when it comes to her siblings Brackenpaw, Brightpaw, Cedarpaw, and Thornpaw. She seems to combine the passion and drive of Frostfur and the kindness and understanding of Goldenflower - the best of both of them, as they would say!

Cherryflower is a legacy name from her mother, Goldenflower, while Cherryfur is a legacy name from her mother Frostfur and mentor Mousefur. Cherryskip, Cherryspring, and Cherrywing each refer to her enthusiasm for Clan life, as well as her swiftness and extroverted nature. As always, feel free to suggest a name I didn't pick in the comments or tags!
