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.

Quailthorn + kits, Adderkit and Snakekit! Pretty peaceful chick who tends to get really aloof at times. Has great difficulty dealing with her energetic kits. Not only does Adderkit have endless energy, but Snakekit is quite the lazy trickster. She’s trying though. Technically, her kits are Nightpaw’s cousins Brother: Pheasantbush Mate: Meadowspike Kits: Adderkit, Snakekit

❄️ Chirp, 🍁 or ☀️ Quail, ✨Daff

❄️chirp (favorite quote)- "Acting like this isn't gonna help you down the line. These petty arguments mean nothing- all you two are doin' is competing to see who can hurt who's feelings the most. In a moon, it's not gonna matter." she stated, her voice hard and unyielding, the kind of tone that came with experience. "As young as you two are, what does matter is learning how to act, how to set yourself up for the future, and learning what you do or don't like. You two don't have to like each other, but I can guarantee that when you're warriors, you'll end up on a hunting patrol, or a battle patrol, or in the thick of a fight with only each other for help. This," She gestured towards them with her paw. "Is only gonna weigh you down. You gotta learn how to tolerate cats you don't like, 'cause in the span of your life, there's gonna be dozens of them. You can't avoid it, and you can't taunt or hiss at all of them. So, until y'all can figure that out, consider leaving each other be."

☀️ quail (ideal friendships)- canyon teen squad ofc!! but also i'd love for him to develop proper friendships with some of the older cats he idolizes... leopardpelt, sedgeclaw, mountainheart.... any of the older & experienced canyon warriors really

✨daff (initial thoughts/opinions)- Let Me Give Him A Hug Right Now!!!!! i love this sunshine boy and i think him and olive could be pals!!

🙀- any of your cats!

🍂- Quailthorn

🏅🎨- Ospreysong

🙀: have you been told told your character resembles a cat from the books? how does this make you feel? how would it make your character feel?

I have not!! Lord it's been so long since I've read a Warriors Cats book I don't even know what I would think.

🍂: does your character have a friend group? if so, who’s all in it? how does your character feel about each of them?

Quail............... has friends!! lkjdgjdksfg he's in the Canyon Teen Squad but he very much feels like he's not... in the Canyon Teen Squad you feel me... like he's there by association because he's in their age group or they feel obligated to be around him- he very much cares about all of his peers, and he doesn't feel resentment towards anybody for this, he's just kinda... content with the way that is.

🏅: what is your character’s reputation within their clan? what about the other clans? is your character popular?

Osprey is well-known in her own clan for being a gossip, a manipulator, and a Girlboss(tm). She gets along well with cats who are like her, and she very much has popular high school head bitch energy, but I'm not sure if I would call her popular... as for the other two clans it's all bad blood babey, she hates Creek and Briar and for the damage she did during the war, they surely don't like her. Osprey had no qualms about taking lives, and even though the war is over she hasn't grown much fonder of them, especially after the Lilyfire situation.

👀👀👀 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!!!

[robinwhistle]

🍁quail or chirp + 🌸olive !

🍁 quail (favorite rp/moment)- my favorite scene with him lately was honestly his little hangout with tawny... it was nice writing quail in a relaxed setting with a friend bc that boy is always either a) too awkward b) too shy or c) in some kind of Situation (tm)

🌸 olive (favorite relationship dynamic)- the moth/jasper/olive friendship squad is so near and dear to my heart i want more content with them constantly all the time!! just thinkin about this trio that has been through so got damn much being able to. come together and have a silly goofy time with their bros is truly enough to make a grown man cry
