Moonpaw design prediction!!! This is likely going to be the first and only time I ever do something like this (predict a cat) so enjoy it pookies lmao
Also related thread about theories that I like from Sunlit Prairies (my discord server!) that inspired this design, as well as other inspiration/details!!
- She's based off of... You guessed it the moon! She has spotty color-point leg markings (like the moon has) and several stripes in the shape of different moon phases across her pelt! She also has a crescent-moon shaped tail.
- Her colors are taken primarily from Sunbeam believe it or not, but toned down in saturation considerably! She has Sunbeam's facial spotting as well, with only hue/saturation/the seal pointing coming from Nightheart!
- She has a lazy eye like Snowtuft does, because I have a theory (or headcanon I guess) that double dead cats don't entirely vanish, but instead are stuffed into another body, recycling souls infinitely! So Moonpaw is Snowtuft's reincarnation! She's a funky little silly anxious weirdo like him too I reckon!
- As for the pink/red eye... She started out with albinism but lost it halfway through lmao! I guess now it can be a nod at red moons while her blue/green eye is a nod at blue!
ALRIGHT DISCLAIMER a lot of these ideas are morphed off others I've been seeing around/discussing in my discord server!! I don't entirely own a collection of these ideas lol!
Augustus' genius idea!! I love the idea of the moonpool being something that's alive that can control and consume her, so I used that for the "consumption" parts of this piece!! I like the idea of it speaking to her and eventually controlling her, maybe even possessing her body entirely to a degree!!
- I also imagine she's a Nightheart x Sunbeam kit, lol
- Also also since Curlfeather is my BAEEEE I love her so much, I think she should be the mandatory evil dark forest cat for this arc!! But instead of being a clone of every other villain she's more passive and manipulative mentally over Moonpaw, caring for her in a twisted, motherly sort of sense!! I know she probably won't have any reason to interact with Moonpaw but I'd really like it!!
Anyway SHES COOL she can be cool idk maybe I'm delusional LOL I predict she'll be a carbon copy of our last few medicine cat apprentices (I almost forgot i predict she'll be one too) with the same personality but!! with a cute and cool design and a cool story that boring mold for a personalty might not be so bad 🥰😍
ALSO I forgot to mention LOL Moonpaw is a main character for the 9th arc of warriors, Changing Skies! Her name was released alongside book one's blurb a few days ago, and this is purely speculation!! None of this is Canon to any degree we don't actually know anything about this cat yet!!
