Welcome back to this blog, happy to see you! May I request either Eaglefeather or Cranerush ? They (and their dynamic) used to be my favorite.

Honestly? They’re my favorites too. I think about them all the time, way more than my actual protagonists tbh. I really like their dynamic and they’d be very fun to write if I ever actually did that. Their character arcs have some pretty heavy stuff going on. I think they’re excellent foils and I made them to basically be warnings of what happens when you have blind faith. They’ve got some very mixed feelings about each other

trembling hands w Crane maybe?

Piercing emerald eyes stared back at him, unwavering. Her claws glittered in the dappled light, shadows covering her snarling face.

"Please, Eaglefeather, you don't have to do this," Cranerush begged. He tried to swallow his fear, but it made the words come out in choking breaths. He could feel his bones rattling under his skin.

"You know I do," the golden tabby hissed. "Look at what he has done to us."

Cranerush looked down at his shaking paws. He knew Willowstar was a cruel leader, but StarClan had granted him his nine lives. Who was he to judge his ancestors? "I can't let you defy StarClan. If you want to kill him, you'll have to kill me, too."

Eaglefeather snorted. Was that a glint of sympathy in her eyes?

"Fine," she growled. She raised her paw back, ready to strike.

Cranerush, warrior of SunClan

No known kin

If there were one word to describe Cranerush, it would be “coward.” Cranerush is nervous, easily spooked, and ready to turn tail and flee. Most cats don’t trust him in battle. The only reason Willowstar picks Cranerush as his deputy is for his sharp intelligence. The grayish tom has a talent for organizing battle strategies, understanding behaviors of prey and potential predators, and picking up on other cats’ thoughts and feelings. Willowstar uses this to his advantage, and keeps him very, very close so that he can always be passing on information that he can use to his advantage. Eaglefeather always looked down on Cranerush, but never harbored any ill will to the tom until being named deputy, where she became jealous of his position. She even challenged Willowstar over the decision. Despite bearing the blunt of Eaglefeather’s anger, Cranerush has a lot of admiration for her, as she is brave, strong, and has an iron will - all things he does not have.
