#reedpaw bio

[swanbelly]

I'm really curious but... If you're up to it, would you be willing to telling us how firefangs doing right now? Anything interesting happen now that's she's a older gal? Her possible opinions on the state of her clan? And a extra question ; How's reedpaw doing as a apprentice? (fhjewhbg sORRY for so many!!)

(why would you EVER apologize about questions i love them)

- firefang is doing all right, surprisingly! she’s got that old lady blues... the world is moving on without her, the clan’s camp is full of strangers, most of whom she didn’t even get to watch grow up since they’re outsiders. there’s entirely new cats in power and her denmate is from a different clan... things seem to move by very quickly and she can’t really keep up. but now she’s going to be a grandma so that’s something she can look forward to! she also loves telling the apprentices stories and making friends with boulderscar.

- reedpaw is doing well, in his training, at least. he listens to his mentor (surprisingly) and is growing and maturing, and is a surprisingly good hunter (though he still mostly exceeds in battle). he’s still kind of slow emotionally and tends to lash out a lot, but he’s opening up to more cats like petalpaw and beepaw and trying to deal with the ‘loss’ of his sister. he’s coping now by training intensely to make sure he can protect his family from being hurt further; he is a bully, he is mean, and he can be selfish, but everything he does is for his kin. hawkpaw turning her back on them and hurting them all like that? that really fucked him up. but he’s managing; it won’t drag him down. he will protect his family.

10, 59 for Reedpaw / 19, 41 for Sparrowheart / 24, 26 for Firefang

10. Would your character ever kill someone?

Yes. Whether to protect his family or his Clan or himself, he would kill someone - but never out of cold blood, or anything, even if he often says he would. When it would come down to it, Reedpaw couldn’t kill someone for no reason. Revenge would be possible, though.

59: What is your least favorite thing about your character?

He won’t CALM DOWN. The event recently was supposed to FINALLY give him some positive development, but because of last-minute dramatic changes, he’s almost a completely different character and is going to turn into my least favorite of other ocs can’t intervene. This wasn’t what I wanted for him, but it’s what’s now IC for him. Remember to not back out of events if it would mess up so many people’s ocs while the event is happening, kids.

19: What is your character’s deepest, darkest secret?

After fighting for his place in the Clan for so long, he contemplated leaving at one point. After the flood, after he lost so many cats that were dear to him, he felt lost. He had come to the Clan searching for his last kin, and now he had no more kin. Though he’s deputy now, he still feels like his place in the Clan can be flipped over too quickly - especially if he reveals his feelings for Poppycloud.

41: Would your character want to have any children?

At one time, he thought so, but now... he’s not so sure. He has kits, though they aren’t really his, and he has always felt so strange around them. He loved Beetlekit, Currentkit, and Shellkit, so he’s unsure why his actual blood-related kits made him feel this way. And now that he loves a medicine cat, he knows that he would never willingly subject her to something like that.

24: What prejudices does your character have?

Typical Clan stuff - NettleClan are untrustworthy, JaggedClan are high-and-mighty, kittypets are lazy, rogues are dangerous, loners are fickle... But cats always have the opportunity to prove themselves. She holds her prejudices, but she will admit when a cat has earned her respect.

26: What is your favorite headcanon for your character?

She loved Ashbreeze all along, even when they were growing up - it was just a different kind of love than the infatuation she had with Nightwhisker. It took her a long while to realize it, but it was a more pure, innocent love that morphed into something unconditional. Something real, more mature than what she had felt for her first mate.

4: Does anyone have a crush on your character? Is your character aware of this? 

Actually, I have no idea if anyone has a crush on him. I’m just as oblivious as he is though, because if they do, he has NO idea. And he would never know unless they came out and said so.

8: Does your character hate anyone? Why? 

MANY. I guess the cat he hates the most though is Doveheart, just because of a lot of things built up overtime. He has some kithood trauma and he holds grudges really well, and that trauma made it basically that he’s forgotten any good memories he had with Doveheart, if any, so he really just. Hates her existence. He also hates Crowstorm because of what happened at the Gathering, and he hates Hawkpaw for (in his eyes) abandoning the family and Clan twice and making him look like the bad guy for being angry. Hazeltuft, also, for basically abusing Robinpaw.

11: How did your character meet their best friend? 

Depends on if kin counts as best friend! I’m not sure if he has a best friend, but his closest friend as of right now (Aside from Robinpaw!) is Petalpaw. They met when they were younger, of course, and since he was like, 3 moons older than her he always showed off. Though they didn’t become better friends until Petalpaw became an apprentice and they began to train together.
