Your thoughts,,, hand em over

🎨- Ospreysong

🤍- Olivebranch

😻- Prairiegaze

🧸- Quailthorn

💥- Chirpingbird

o boy here we go

🎨: does your character have a unique skill that sets them apart from others?

Osprey's great with words; she got her suffix, -song, because of her gift of gab!! Honestly she would be a great storyteller or poet (cat poet?) if she wasn't The Way That She Was.

🤍: what does perfect happiness look like to your character?

There's a lot of things Olive wants: courage, forgiveness, strength, peace- but their ideal happy world would be a place where all their friends could find what they needed to be content, and then they could live the lives they deserved, clear-headed. The difference between Olivebranch the character and pocket the writer is that I know that's partially a way to deflect from sorting out their own issues, but they have good intentions!

😻: is your character insecure about their appearance or are they confident?

Sometimes Prairie forgets what they look like. When they were younger? Oh yes absolutely they were a ball of anxiety and insecurity. After he got his gnarly scar he was a bit self-conscious of it for a time, but these days it simply does not cross his mind. If he thought about it for too long (aka more than 10 seconds) he'd. Probably still live in that youthful mindset, though.

🧸: does your character have a specific object that soothes them?

After Sagefeather died, Quail moved a bit of the moss from her old nest into his nest. The scent of her has faded by now, but sometimes he'll wake up from a dead sleep and swear that it's still lingering around.

💥: does your character have any habits that impact them negatively?

Aside from her lingering Anger Problems(tm), Chirp is a bit too forgiving at times, or a bit too eager to forget and allow herself to be walked over. Sometimes she doesn't hold enough of a grudge.

A commission for @robinwhistle of their oc Prairiegaze!

Thank you so much for commisisoning me!

[robinwhistle]

🌈☘️ Prairie ✨ Rabbit ☁️ Olive 🍁Moth

🌈 prairie (something i want to happen in their character arc)- I Want Them To Smile. dskfjghfsj no but i'd really like prairie to do something good like a successful hunt or win a spar and think, 'nice i did a good job i'm proud of me :)'

✨rabbit (initial thoughts/opinions)- stupid lil fella who is as shark; will die if they stop moving,, bean showed me their art when i was considering joining cotm and it was game over i just couldn't Not adopt them!!!!

☁️ olive (alternate clan au)- many thoughts abt this.... olive returning to the clans like they do in canon but joining creek or briar instead of rejoining canyon,,, they'd probably really really thrive in either clan tbh dsfgkjdh and they've actually had thoughts irp about 'y'know what with my silly goofy attitude i bet i'd fit in in either creek or briar a lot better than here' i think they would really enjoy the range of characters in creek and the culture of briar,, if they'd been born in either clan i think they would actually be a lot Less outwardly quirky and excessively, well, Olivebranch(tm) for. personal reasons.

🍁moth (favorite rp/moment)- now howmst the fuck do you expect me to pick this!!!! every interaction he has with tempest makes me ugly cry bc i love their friendship and i love that she has moth in her corner... there was also the recent thread between moth and kestrel... 'our pelt colors may not match but we're looking more alike than ever now, hm?' loml... also taking this time as a personal request for more moth and cotton interactions Please And Thank You :)

👀👀👀 hell yes,,, 🍄/🌲Osprey, 🍀Prairie, 🌈Chirp, 🍁/❄️Olive, 🍃/🌸Quail!! Additionally if you’d like, ☀️Speckle or 🍁Sedge!

🍄 osprey (cross-clan ships)- ok nothing is canon at all whatsoever n tbh i don't have a particular character in mind i just........ the thought of osprey falling for a creek/briar molly would b so ironically fitting for her considering how Bitchy she is about the other two clans and also how much she subscribes to the Love Is Fake mentality.... surprise, idiot not only is love real but you're in it with the cats you (pretend) to hate!!!!

☘️ prairie (relationship dynamics with the most potential)- ms ivy for that sweet sweet enemies to friends to ??? dynamic esp since they were so close before i am Very excited to see that play out... i hope moth will continue to wear prairie down to friendship level bc i think moth would be v good for him.... also? i just think prairie and velvet would be funny as hell dfkgjf

🌈 chirp (something i want to happen in their character arc)- O u G h... i want her to talk to gale again like Really talk about everything that's happened and i want her to meet her niblings and have a good relationship with them and show them that having family across the border doesn't have to be a traumatic or angsty thing like it was for her and her generation <3

❄️olive (favorite quote)- "With these muscles? These honed battle skills? That eagle was lucky Shalespots was there to hold me back, otherwise it wouldn't've even had a fighting chance!" /j but it's true

🍃 quail (alternate rank au)- less alternate rank and more Future rank... quail with Higher Ambition is something i've been considering lately... he's always been content with being your average warrior but as he gains confidence and independence mayb he'll look at that deputyship and go 'is for me?' just a thought....................

☀️ speckle (ideal friendships)- Everyone. fkdgjkdf i want to see her reconcile with bat so got DAMN badly i want them to be friends at least... i think speckle and ivy or speckle and fox would b a fun friendship, two cats who are incredibly easygoing and extroverted without being pushy,,

🍁sedge (favorite rp/moment)- the little chat she just had with coyoteleap about parenting are you kidding me........ 'How cats grow into themselves is so beautiful, y'know?' YEAH i do know sedge i Love You!!!
