4 the character thing!!!!!!! sorreltail Light Of My Life Queen Of My Heart!!!
sexual orientation headcanon: bisexual
gender headcanon: cis female
mental illness / neurodivergent headcanon: ptsd from 3 events: when darkstripe tried to kill her, when she was hit by the car, and from honeyfern’s death. it’s like she starts learning how to cope with one thing, and then another happens. she still needs a lot of coaxing to cross a thunderpath, and absolutely can not sun by the rocks where honeyfern died. she gets nightmares and panic attacks. brackenfur is v supportive
1. she always felt like cinderpelt’s death was her fault, no matter what anyone else said. stemming from that, she grew more and more anxious as cinderheart grew older and continued to look exactly like cinderpelt. she often felt guilty just looking at her daughter. and when the truth about cinderpelt’s spirit was revealed, she was terrified. she thought cinderpelt’s spirit would be mad at her for “causing her death”. on the contrary; when sorreltail joins starclan, cinderpelt is the first to greet her after honeyfern and molepaw. she thanks her for always taking care of cinderheart and brackenfur, and says that she now considers sorreltail to be just as much her mother as frostfur was. cue happy tears from sorreltail
2. when she was in the nursery with her second litter, sometimes other cats would jokingly ask who her favorite child was. she would get mad about this and squish lilykit and seedkit close to her (along with poppyfrost and cinderheart, who were always close by bc they loved their little sisters) and proclaim that she loves ALL of them equally
3. her favorite child was honeyfern.
