can you tell us more about mintflower?
Mintfur RC has been renamed to Mintflower because of conflict with Mintfur SkC, and has had 30 cc of gender injected into his veins
[ID: RiverClan's Mintfur, renamed to Mintflower. He is a large, fluffy gray tabby with silver legs, ear, and chin, with a black chest, arms, and mutton chops. His eyes are orange.]
He was a Tribe cat! He was apprentice-aged when the Clans came through during the Great Journey.
He comes from a line of sheep hunters, one of the most respected abilities of Tribe cats. His old name was Asleep Sheep-by-Shade.
That said, hunting wasn't his calling, especially not big coordinated hunts like what's needed to kill sheep and eagles. He really liked healing and omen-reading, which is how he picked up Old Tribemew.
Even as a kitten, he was known for being laidback and enjoying "lazing" about, hence the name.
Asleep was really big and whispy-furred for a mountain cat, which tend to be "compact" with muscled legs and thick coats.
There was a tragedy when he was young where one parent died during a sheep hunt, and then he lost the other in Sharptooth's attack.
He got really close with Icepaw, and ended up following her to the new territory offering to help RiverClan settle into their new territory.
Asleep got chased out of RiverClan along with Stormfur and Brook Where-it-Swirls during the xenophobic surge and the false sign, but re-joined as soon as Mistystar gave him the opportunity once Leopardstar was dead.
After he had taken his name and become safely settled within Clan society, Icewing found herself considering the events of TNP. She was grateful to have her mate back, but... she had a deep suspicion that Mistystar had done something to Leopardstar. How was that okay? She didn't miss Leopardstar, and she loved Mintflower and the kittens they were expecting, but...
How could murder be okay? Even if it benefited her? Was there even a murder? Icewing needed to get to the bottom of this, and it lead her into the Dark Forest.
Misc things...
He is loosely based off a shetland sheep; I plan to model his kids off herdwicks because those are the iconic sheep breed of the Lake District, UK
Mintflower was the primary parent of the kittens.
A very, "You think he's not watching the kids because he has his eyes closed, but springs into action like a tiger when they try to put something poisonous into their mouth" kind of dad
"petal, i wasn't sleeping, i was resting. also i know youre sneaking up behind me, beetle."
Dad energy
Breezeheart, Nightsky, and Grasspelt are all being cut. His two adult children were Beetlewhisker and Petalfur, and Pricklekit, Breezekit, and Nightkit died young. Icewing didn't take it well.
Took to fishing like a PRO. He's very patient and likes to relax by the riverside.
Never minds having to take minnow-drying duty.
A below-average fighter, he doesn't have it in him to be mean. It stems from Tribe culture seeing fighting as a huge taboo, only done when you're prepared to kill or cause serious damage. It's called "making prey" of someone.
A brilliant hunter when push comes to shove, though.
He was killed by The Kin.
