please tell me your thoughts on:

Mottlecry

Blackdawn

Lilykit/star

Foxflake

And Smalljump

Mottlecry: weirdo (affectionate). Lonely but doesn't want others to know. He also likes funny-looking mushrooms. It's possible Redbird had a crush on him. He hates clean smells. -- He's just a funny little man

Foxflake: girlboss. love it when a character who is treated badly by other kits grows up to be a murderer, one of my favourite tropes. But her death was her own asphalt. Gotta wonder who her DF mentors were.... -- relatable

Smalljump: mommy's boy and he misses her so so much. Was created solely to make a pathetic little man, and everyone collectively loved him enough to make him a main character, and I think that's amazing. He likes dozing on warm rocks and talking about nothing (general things). Hates gatherings cause too many cats. -- pathetic gremlin everyone loves.

Blackdawn: ..complicated. What she did was shitty, but munchausen is a mental illness that she didn't receive any help on because warriors don't know the concept of mental illness. She does deeply regret what she did and hates anyone who deliberately hurt a kit (especially their own). She just wants to see her family and baby girl again. -- misunderstood, needed help

Lilykit/star: a very gentle and wise leader. Looks to her father and grandparents for advice. Not really disconnected as most Clan leaders can be, she joins them in eating and general talks, possibly even sleeps in the warriors den with them (and later elders' den with her father even when she's not that old yet). Not sure if she had kits of her own, but she for sure took the time to play and look after the kits of the Clan. Still thinks of her mother often. -- sweet girl lived good life.

You know what? I’m gonna do the name thing too.

Jackdawfoot--> prefix = mother thought jackdaws were the biggest in its respective family. It’s actually the smallest, suffix = big fucking feet

Gorseheart--> prefix = gorse bushes are tenacious, something his parents hoped he would be (and he kinda was), suffix = he was literally the biggest softy before the rampage

Ferndoe--> prefix = fern tickled her nose, causing her to sneeze, the first sound she made after wailing, suffix = delicate, but dangerous if need be

Poppyhill--> prefix = reddish colour, suffix = loves running across hills

Myrtlewing--> prefix = mother had a dream about grown Myrtle working in the medicine den, and many of myrtle is used as medicine. It’s possible she also dreamt of darker stuff, but decided to focus on the good, thinking that would lead to a better path. In fact, myrtle is supposedly not poisonous to any animals, suffix = his differently-coloured forelegs reminded his mentor of bird wings and how they can be different colours from the body

Aldereyes/star--> prefix = his mother’s favourite plant. She knew the birthing ordeal would likely take her life, as it made her really sick, and wanted her son to not feel guilt and instead know how much she loved him, and figured it would be a good way to do so, suffix = Stormstar didn’t think much of it, likely choosing the one trait they had in common.

Basiltooth--> prefix = his mother referred to him as ‘sweety’ before he officially had a name, and the medicine cat suggested Basil because there’s a thing called ‘sweet basil,’ which they possibly learned from a kittypet, suffix = he has really dark, possibly rotting teeth

Grousemane--> prefix = gray-ish with spots, suffix = gorgeous locks

Mottlecry--> prefix = an irregular arrangement of colour, which descripes how his head is one shade of gray while the rest is a different one, suffix = high-pitch shriek (more creepy creature from a movie, less little girl tantrum)

Lovagecreek--> prefix = the medicine saved his father from certain death, suffix = with Hawkjay, he once caught a fat jay during leaf-bare at a creek. The leader named him this to celebrate his skill

Hawkjay--> prefix = when she was born, the medicine cat warned that she may have eye trouble, and they named her hawk in the hopes that she wouldn’t, ‘eyes like a hawk’, suffix = with Lovagecreek, caught a fat jay during a food-scarce leaf-bare. The leader named her to celebrate her skill.

I kinda want Mottlecry to have a best friend, but can’t decide if they should be just as chaotic as him or be the polar opposite

The Dark Forest, but they’re AI generated images based on their names

Bonus:

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

Basiltooth -- bugs,

Mottlecry -- guts,

Sparktail -- fire

the three cats of odd and disturbing obsessions combine their power, to create

bugs eating guts that were roasted in a fire
