HELLO GAMERS I RE-DID THE CAMP BACKGROUND AGAIN time to be happy until two months later

Lotsa new faces this moon plus a ceremony!

Squirrelpaw -> Squirrelstep (Traits: Charismatic, Den Builder & Good Climber) As a refresher -step means you act similar to your animal based prefix, which I think he does! I interpreted good climber as squirrel-like in nature! He could have been called Squirrelface or Squirreltail!

Grayclaw and Skipperpaw find Beechkit: F. One Moon. Traits: Self-Conscious & Active Imagination

A loner joins the clan with her three kits:

Mistletoefur (F. 30 Moons. Traits: Troublesome, Good Swimmer & Steady Paws). Could have been named Mistletoestorm or Mistletoestream, but both are a mouthful!

Magpiekit (M. Self-Conscious & Fascinated by Prophecies)

Sleetkit (M. Bossy & Careful Listener)

Swallowkit (M. Charming & Picky Nest Builder)

Would it be crazy if I told you someone in this picture is Pipitstorm's mate?

Other Events:

Mudstone is ok!

Rookshade's tail is hurt by a dog

Littlepath comes down with greencough

More and more promotions, oh my!

Mudpaw -> Mudleaf (Traits: Childish, Great Climber & Good Kitsitter). Mudleaf was her generated name, so I let her keep it! Other names possibly Mudtail or Mudbelly!

Morelshade gifted her that flower for gradution!

Grasskit -> Grasspaw (Mentor: Mudleaf. Strict & Constantly Climbing). Following in his big sister's paws!

Squirrelkit -> Squirrelpaw (Mentor: Rootstorm. Competitive, Picky Nest Builder & Constantly Climbing). Only comment is that I gave him a big 'ol tooth. I think it's cute.

Other Events:

Pipitstorm recovers from whitecough

Grasspaw get's a tick

Annnddd we're back folks! Hot off the paws of last year, we have two new warriors!

Rootpaw -> Rootstorm (Traits: Troublesome, Good Mediator & Good Speaker) I like the contradiction of being troublesome and a good mediator lol. He could have been named Rootcloud or Rootthroat!

Plumpaw -> Plumface (Traits: Charismatic & Good Mediator). Really not much she could have been called other than Plumface. Perhaps Plumpelt or Plumfur.

These two are fine, kinda like your Brackenfur's or Mousewhisker's. Certainly there. Mousepaw has the most personality.

Other Events:

Newtpaw dies due to her head damage. Rip.

After this ceremony, Stonedusk hits her head while hunting.

Morelshade sprains their leg in a twoleg trap.

Mousepaw recovers!

However, Pipitstorm and Rabbitkit have come down with whitecough.

Babies Time! Now i'm not saying I have a favorite out of the bunch but...if I did....hypothetically...it might be Rookkit....

Also i've played this entire year already and let me tell you I am WORRIED for him

So we got:

Newtkit (F) - Self Conscious & Constantly Climbing

Rookkit (M) - Know-It-All & Quick Witted

Rootkit (M) - Unruly & Quick To Make Peace (What a combo)

Plumkit (F) - Charming & Quick To Make Peace

Mousekit (F) - Sweet & Quick To Make Peace

Seems like the triplets have that last one in common!

Other Events:

Palethroat and Cloudfall become mates! Two quiet guys with pale pelts, what else can a guy ask for?

Dovewhisker saves Blazestar from a dog but gets bitten in the process.

The big 'ol batch of babies are apprentices! None of them seem too bothered about all the death....well it do be like that.

We have:

Newtkit -> Newtpaw (Mentor: Fernwhisker. Traits: Insecure & Constantly Cimbling). Not much to comment on, I cooked with her design

Rookkit -> Rookpaw (Mentor: Pipitstorm. Uh oh. Traits: Strict & Quick-Witted.) BE CAREFUL BABY BOY!!

Rootkit -> Rootpaw (Mentor: Deerstep. Traits: Troublesome, Quick to Make Peace & Confident With Words.) I added Ashheart's freckles to his design and it made it so cute!

Plumkit -> Plumpaw (Mentor: Blazestar. Traits: Charismatic & Quick to Make Peace). I have absolutely no idea when she got that flower, the color was just in her pallet already. I looked through my notes like five times so oops if this is a spolier

Mousekit -> Mousepaw (Mentor: Willowdapple. Traits: Compassionate, Quick to Make Peace & Interested in Clan History) Good luck Willowdapple, you're gonna need it.

Other Events:

Usually I note down what happened on new apprentices first patrols but I guess I didn't for this batch. Oops.

Blazestar, Rainstorm & Fernwhisker recover from greencough

Grayclaw saves Fallowstripe from a dog

Craneclaw is expecting another litter!

Name someone you’ve failed. What did you do wrong? How do they feel about you now?

Defiant is silent, looking down at her hands, clutching them together til they stop shaking. She has to remember to breathe... it feels as if her throat is ready to close at any moment, as if a lapse in attention will suffocate her, as she thinks over the question.

“....I f-failed him. A-as... i-in every way. A-as... as a s-student. As a s-sister. In s-strength a-and force of w-will and... a-and standing up for him. As... as.. e-e-everything. I w-was never g-good enough, r-right until the e-end, and he knew.”

She laughs, a sharp, sudden noise... or perhaps it’s a sob, breaking free of her lips despite her best attempt.

“H-he loves me. A-and he probably h-hates me, f-for... for e-everything I did w-wrong. H-he only wanted t-to make me s-stronger, and f-for it, I ruined e-everything he h-held dear.”

“...........I w-wasn’t enough.”

* Rex has never actually killed a person yet. She's slain many beasts and possibly beastkin, and fought and bested many opponents, and lost her fair share- but she has yet to take the life of a person of the spoken races. She would like this to remain the case.* Rex really struggles to read. While her tribe did teach its young the Eorzean alphabet and how to read to a certain degree for the sake of trade, she didn't take to it very well in favour of training 'more practical' skills. This may be in part due to finding it fundamentally difficult herself, likely due to having learning difficulties herself, and would benefit from tinted reading glasses with a slight magnification correction so that she can focus better when reading. But despite this she's slogged away at the difficult task of sharpening her reading and writing skills. It takes her hours to write a single letter so she can carefully form the words to be legible enough to read, let alone spelt correctly, and she takes several drafts to write anything before she sets quill to good parchment, which has always been a luxury she can't afford. This is why she places a lot of importance on sending letters to people- it takes a long time for her to do, and worse- she knows she's in for a hard time when she gets an answer- because reading the reply is a task in and of itself!o - For me, I'm five foot and one quarter of an inch and while I have a fairly normal length torso- I actually often sit -taller- than people when I'm sat on the same level as them- my legs are very stunted. So most people stand up and get taller, I usually stand up and get -shorter- because my feet are usually off the ground when I'm sat in a chair! I'm tiny. It's awful and quite a pain when getting trousers or jeans or any sort of matched outfit, and doesn't help my already belaboured joints *at all*. Rex would tower above me at 5 fulms and 6 ilms, but she's still tiny compared to most of her friends.
