tw for brief mention of pregnancy termination. they are born of a love too tumultuous, too bull - headed and clashing that they'd driven eachother to ruin. they are born the kin of riverclan''s notorious founding leader and his scar-laden succesor, raised in the remnants of love that held them close to eachother still. they were bound by teeth and fire, by starlight and lovestricken loyalty ; leashed and forever bound by fate, despite everything that happens in the rocky weeks of smokestar's pregnancy. cicadastar grows snappish, hunch - spined and paranoid . . he paces smokethroat like a shark in water, to the point where he confides in ravensong for a secret, impulsive wish — for an herb to end his pregnancy. cicadastar has ears everywhere, however, and lightningstone is quick to inform him of these quiet, frightened wants. he never forgives him.

they are born royalty, born with reed - woven crowns settled at their ears — the same one that drives their father further into darkness. they are born with the scent of fear and blood reeking their nostrils, beneath the drip of the riverclan founder's claws and his warrior mudpelt's newly scarred cheek and smokestar's pained wails. he looses too much blood of his own, and stays behind willow den walls in lieu of the nursery ; their first den, nestled away with ice chip eyes gleaming protectively from the dark towards anyone who draws near. some say having children had worsened him — locked riverclan's borders further inward, driven him further into territorial madness. despite it, their litter knows nothing but kindness and support, in their fathers own ways. they are shielded from the world, from the horrors, until a day at three months old when yellowplagued riverclan is run from its borders by rogues.

beepaw, cicadapaw and starlightpaw watch as their father is torn life from life.

smokestar takes control of riverclan, reclaims their wetlands in wake of the great journey's end. on his way to the highstones, he is sticken down by windclan and nearly killed — a poor omen that only worsens with time. though he survives, the land is plagued once again by roguesblood. betrayed by those in his own clan and betrayed by those out of it, failure upon failure, seeing the clan through the deaths of many clanmates as a result of red water's violence. in the midst of it, he decides that starlightpaw's name no longer suits them — in cicadastar's death, he changes the name and destiny he'd sought for them . . he renames them, in chaos and tragedy. once rogues no longer terrorize his territory, his medicine cat goes missing, leaving his apprentice to fend for herself amidst the lingering waves of yellowcough. with only bloodshed and loss between their deaths, after a night alone at the gorge with his deputy lichentail, smokestar meets his death by the maw of riverclan's gorge. it is said to be an accident. the body is never found.

throughout their life, this litter knows little of their fathers strife — only in passing, in stories of riverclan's beginning, soon to become tall tales to frighten unruly kits. the only litter of two starwoven leaders, hearts entertained despite their hauntings. they never know that smokestar is the one to ultimately kill cicadastar. they do not know that somewhere in the deep, voidlike darkness . . one of them still lingers.

can be considered an even split between both parents, not one overshadowing the other. Tall but muscular build meant for swimming and taking on the current of the river. webbed paws easily making him capable when it comes to both swimming and fishing. fur is short length but carries the curled fringes of cicadastar in sporadic places such as his chest, back, and tail. Fur resembles ashen black with dashes of ivory upon the end of his tail, three paws, and upon his nose. Angular face denotes some of his oriental ancestry, gleaming odd eyes rather sharp and almost accusing

    sh black smoke w/low white and vivid dichromatic eyes (silver around the pupils that fades into a shocking copper) / TOYHOUSE / REF
    easily when someone looks at lamprey they can see both of his fathers within him. his body is firm, laced with lean muscles and yet he carries an elegant grace about him. like a weeping ghost that haunts the riverside his long limbs give him height, regality in ever step that he takes. smokey ash black fur makes up the majority of his pelt coloration and thanks to the genes of one of his fathers' his fur is haphazard. le perm slips in almost chaotically, not knowing truly where to settle. resting curls upon his chest, back and coating his thick and flowing tail. yet cicadastar also blesses him just like smoke with the staining of ivory that melts along the darkness of his coat. Coating all his paws save one, resting upon his nose and the bridge of it as well as the end of his curly tail. angular face gives pretense to oriental genes and a sharpness in eyes that are dramatic in every way. silver spreads from his pupils only to give way to a shocking and deep copper color

    ABASIVE / UNSOCIABLE / CYNICAL / PERFECTIONIST / RESERVED / ALERT / LOYAL / CAUTIOUS / OBSERVANT / PERCEPTIVE
    once upon a time when they were starlightpaw his personality was so much different. light and bubbly he was always smiling, always talking. moving through life with such innocent ease. always there to make his siblings laugh and enjoying the feeling and warmth that a family provides. he never hesitated to talk to anyone in fact, always attempting to make a friend and engage in clan activities no matter what they were. when others saw things as tasks starlight would try to make a fun game out of it, insisting that there is always something joyous to be had when working. but slowly as life bled on and star/lamprey witnessed death after death, tells of those dying and being harmed, especially his family things changed for him. silence became his master, quietness taking over. Once social and bright became unsocial and gloom. a lack of want to actively put forth any attention towards clanmates. Talking too much of a chore by itself. a change in how he trained became apparent. working himself for perfection and perfection alone. Till he though it was within his own standards. now he harbors mistrust of others, of all clans but more towards some than others. lamp can not truly let himself trust anyone fully always expecting the worst out of those that try to surround him and what he has left of his family. when he does speak others are caught off guard for his neglectful tongue that almost never has anything nice to say. blunt and forward he speaks what is on his mind and continues on his way despite what others will think of him. though he tries to be decent enough he no longer holds the innocence he was stripped of back in more youthful times. but he is ever loyal to his family, ever loyal to what he perceives as ricerclan as a whole. now he the ghost of the river, wandering and observing. watching like a loyal hounddog and easily wanting nothing more than to protect the borders of his home and what he has left. always having his eyes and ears open and trying to stretch what he has to have more than just his own perceptive tools.

    - harbors a great pain in his chest and mentality after the deaths of both of his fathers, can not seem to come to terms with how Cicadastar's lives were ripped from him (holds trauma and often has nightmares)
    - understands more easily about Smokestar's death given how easily the gorge tends to claim the lives of others but it does not make it any easier to bear
    - does not consider themselves any better than anyone else in the clan despite their origins, but will always fight for their family against anyone that dares to bad mouth them
    - does secretly enjoy the idea of being seen as some type of royalty among the clan, gives them a sense of being special when they know they are not
    - often on edge despite the current well-being of the season, feels like something is going to go wrong at any moment and often feels like their are eyes on him and his siblings
    - has no ill will towards his name being changed from starlightpaw. trusts in his father smokestar is never a question for him and if his name no longer fit then he obliged to take on the new one
    - lamprey is not an open tom, often being quiet and elusive. That mystery of himself often drawing others towards him instead of away as he wants
    - hard working but never to the point that he risks himself he will put riverclan first at all costs, no matter the risks involved
  • e56af5fb2caa1e92cadc5c9916bba4b2.gif

    RELATIONSHIP STATUS, SINGLE ; BISEXUAL ; INTERESTED IN NO ONE
    unfortunately for anyone trying to become close to lamprey it is extremely hard for him to trust anyone if they do not have true origins in Riverclan. though there are some that have slowly gained some semblance of respect for making it as far as they have within the clan he does not give them his trust because he doesn't know when their will will break and they become traitorous against those he cares about.

    SMELLS LIKE: smells like fresh rain and a hint of honey

    ●●●●●●●●●○ HUNTING: 9. His hunting is superb and one of the many things he has worked hard on during his apprenticeship. He mainly excells at catching fish and though a little clunky on land he tends to catch prey but not on par with his fishing
    ●●●●●●●●●● SWIMMING: knowledge level. as a born and raised riverclanner his knowledge of the river and how to traverse her currents is unmatched. he has little issues with the ebb and flow of the river waters and knows very well the dangerous. he is nearly unmatched in his skills and is able to dive quiet deep on his own..

    ●●●●●●●○○○ TRACKING: 7. because of his hunting skills in fishing his tracking is not as great. one normally doesn't use their nose to hunt fish and he is no exception to these rules. but if he has to he may be able to track someone down given a good amount of effort on his own part.
    ●●●●●●●●○○ COMBAT: 8. Fighting is not his strong suit but it is not his weakness either. he has trained enough to his skills in combat. doing what he needs to to force perfection in every move and step that he takes.

✦ trait, trait, trait, expand blahblahblah
— obsessed with starclan / extremely devout

RIVERGHOST CICADASTAR XX SMOKESTAR
eaqbmL3.png

x3jk7JJ.png
" WONDERFUL NOTHING, I JUST WANT SOMETHING WRONG. WONDERFUL NOTHING, I WANT YOU TO BURY ME ALIVE "
DEMI-BOY, HE / THEY | WARRIOR OF RIVERCLAN | 13 MOONS

SH BLACK SMOKE WITH LOW WHITE
Breed traits: La Perm & Oriental Shorthair
His eyes are the same hue as Cicadastar's; haunting and wide. Familiar, sharp, always narrowed - mirroring the way his father stared at the clan he built from the ground up. Cicadastar had eyes and ears everywhere - it wouldn't come as a surprise if he sees the living world through his son, too. In homage to his progenitor he weaves raven feathers into his fur, always striving to mimic the image of the one who came before, longing, but never quite perfect.

Spindly, bird-like legs hide muscles beneath, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Soft features and even softer curled fur contrast against the machinations of his brain ( he, who has a bite worse than his bark ). Predatory all-teeth smile that never quite reaches his eyes. His gait is graceful, confident; oftentimes, he appears to be stalking prey through the way he moves alone. They are wraith-like, there one moment and in the blink of an eye they vanish like smoke. Whether that has an ethereal allure to it or is uneasily creepy is up for interpretation.

Personality.
A well-spoken and kind-hearted gentleman, Riverghost is known for his politeness and fierce protectiveness towards the entirety of his birth Clan. Sharp-minded and silver-tongued, the warrior has a way with words above the average riverclanner. A leader figure of sorts, always making sure he's heard during arguments and discussions, persuasive and oddly terrifying at times with the way he can spin a tale to get others in his favor.

Beneath the surface Riverghost reveals to be an apathetic, highly manipulative liar. Always keeping his secrets and true thoughts hidden in the depths of his core, refusing to open up without considering his options first. Condescension and arrogance run through him like blood, like the river circling his home; his legacy has dictated it: he is superior to his clanmates - they're not like him, they will never be like him, and yet, they are seen as more. They are tolerable - much more so than outsiders ( other clans and loners alike ) - but they will never be special. Snarky comments happen all the time in his head, finding it amusing ( and yet lamenting they can't let it out, they would find it cathartic ); vicious, dickish sarcasm and joyful mocks are constants, and sometimes the highlights of his day.

Riverghost struggles to understand death, sometimes. If the cat served nothing of significant value to anyone in his eyes, he doesn't understand why anyone would miss them at all ( not realizing the fact that his clanmates are sad they died due to feeling basic empathy ).

As a mentor, Riverghost is strict and stern, expecting nothing but perfection from his apprentices. If they're not close to being on par with him ( close, because no one will ever be on the same level as he is ) then they're hardly worth his time. He is not vocal or ever gets physical, as to keep up appearances, but inwardly he can be vile. A talented apprentice is favored by him, and he surprisingly has a soft spot for children - but as they grow and don't meet his high standards, that love fades.

However, Riverghost knows when credits are due and is vocal about them - a good catch, a well-done battle move, etc - mostly to keep up his façade, but it's also surprisingly honest.

  • Jealous that he wasn't the one to inherit the prefix Cicada, although he sometimes mentally refers to himself as such. But he is not Cicada. That is his brother, and his father, and it will never be him.
  • Aesthetic/motifs list: uncertain paths, living in the shadows, not recognizing yourself in the mirror, dull eyes, spirited debates, never taking no for an answer, confidence that could kill, going off the handle, cynicism, black coffee, worn out converse sneakers, eavesdropping, always wanting more, overachieving, thunderstorms, smell before the rain, seeing in black and white, talking down to people, wolf in sheep's clothing.
  • His nice-guy speeches are often riddled with condescension and moral superiority, hinting at his true colors; somehow, they are still taken as motivational.
  • Smells like rosemary & seaweed with a hint of rain. Allows them to easily blend with the surroundings of RiverClan undetected.
  • Excels in stalking, tracking and swimming. Subpar at fightning and doesn't like to get his claws dirty if he can help it.
  • A 'mask falls' plot is something I'd be interested in doing. If questioned by many about some lie catching up to him he will simply reveal who he is deep down ( and this will most likely result in several of his clanmates hating his guts ). But it's worth noting he's not beyond "redemption", he is not evil or sadistic or anything of the sort, just mean and incredibly cynical.

  • neutral to "river royalty" terms; on one hand, they are proud of their lineage of two leaders, on the other, a sad sorrow that they never truly got to be a happy family. will refer to herself as a prince & princess in inner dialogue.
    going on from above, the anger at being renamed has mostly simmered down. they have grown a passion for stargazing, which pangs them; what could have been...
    opinion on starclan is a bit... skewered. gutted at the fact that they took their fathers so soon in rapid succession. scared and yet extremely morbidly fascinated with them. prays to them each night, hopes they can see one of their fathers one day.
    aiming for 10 posts a month, potentially 15. Higher side of my characters, lumped in with Sal, Gravelpaw & Ricepaw.
    Current art is of long-fur… Will be shorter in future art :-)
    Everything may change icly! I cannot stick to a singular, already written out personality too well because characters tend to have a mind of their own haha

    sh black smoke with low white & ice blue eyes
    a smokey ghost that glides across the land like frost, wraith's fur is feathery and short, with just the right amount of curl giving away who their father is and providing their fur with much needed volume. they're a bit lanky, though not as tall as their father (cicada); they sport a well-muscled & sleek body, a perfect build for swimming. their face is a bit slimmer than most cats, a particular wedge shape inherited more from cicadastar than smokestar. ice blue eyes sit upon a narrow face, almost always either narrowed or found with a distant look in them. their gait is unnaturally quiet… and one may not hear them coming with how soft pawfalls are.

    their fur itself is a smokey black with the occassional tabby stripes patterened on. its not much to look at; just an ink-dipped poet with white spots painted as if one threw a brush at a canvas. their biggest spot is upon their face, an ivory cutout that spans across the left side and barely touches the right. they have a white back left paw as well as a white tailtip.

    25% laperm & 25% oriental shorthair, carries albino & non-silver​
  • CHILL / UNBOTHERED
    On the surface, they're a little too unbothered… moisturized… in their lane… And honestly a bit too lazy to show off big emotion on their face. You could present the worst of the worst to Wraith and they would not freak out (except for remaining family.)​

    ETHEREALLY WEIRD…?
    whether its their own fucked up vision of starclan or their destiny, wraith has an… odd way of looking at things. everything must happen for a reason (and in turn… their fathers must have done something to piss starclan off…) and your actions have consequences with the divine.​

    PASSIONATELY LOYAL
    wraith is a riverclanner by birthright, born to two river kings; their blood runs through the very rivers and streams that flow through the territory. this causes them to be fiercely loyal to their clan, often to the point of being a little… unwelcoming and cold to those outside of it. going on from this, they have a distaste for kittypets and most certainly hates the new ones that joined the clan despite helping their clanmates.​

    HOT & COLD, CHEERY & OVERTHINKING
    one say, wraith can be cheery, in a good mood and raring to go and the next… you may not hear as much as a peep from her. her social battery fluctuates very heavily and can cause her to shut down at times. going on from a note in the misc section, sometimes they get too wrapped up in their head and fixates on a problem which causes them to fluctuate as well.​

    SOFT-SPOKEN
    wraith has many opinions, many good, and many bad. the problem is… they don't tend to voice it. most of their dialogue is inner & they have this habit of talking to themself a lot, sometimes in their head & sometimes out loud, but never really meant for others. their voice itself is a hushed whisper kind of tone, somewhat haunting, but girlish nonetheless. (thinking shadowheart from bg3)​

WASPTONGUE CICADASTAR X SMOKETHROAT
ALT ;; Locustember, Charredloch, Charredthroat
WASP ;; Re-named after Cicadastar's brother ; TONGUE ;; for their perseverance and willingness to speak up, and relating slightly to Smokestar's original suffix.
AFAB, THEY/THEM | WARRIOR OF RIVERCLAN | 13 MOONS

SH BLACK SMOKE W/ LOW WHITE / BLUE EYES / STRAIGHT FUR // reference (click)
SPECIFICS ;; (25% laperm, 25% oriental shorthair. carrying longhair, carrying non-silver, carry and pass on albino)
Tall, gangly, with straight fur and ice for eyes- Wasptongue is ashen black, ghosting lighter down towards his paws, where white has dipped over them. They stand with pride, with a knowledge that they are the walking child of not one, but two leaders- yet their head hunches and dips low, shoulders curled forward as they have been scorned from the stars. (It is also, perhaps, to ensure that they are still 'tangible' by those smaller, kits, apprentices, smaller warriors.) They will stand as tall as their brother if they stood straight, and move with more agility as compared to Cicadaflight's and Beefang's brute strengths.

Perhaps one of the first striking things about Wasptongue is their teeth- 'tusks' that wrap around their top lip, jutting from a bottom jaw that was once broken. Beyond the teeth that mark their visage as a warning is a pair of eyes- a wholly unscarred visage, unlike their two siblings, a crisp and unmarked face settled by absolute ice for eyes. Blue-turned-silver, cold, like cracked and glittering frozen water, sharp and daring as they stare at you. Perhaps it's a hint unnerving, if you didn't know them.

Bangs hang low over these eyes, akin to a shield at times- but it makes catching their vision daunting. Darkened fur covers their head and turns into a blaze down their back, over the very beginnings of their tail. Their ears are darkening in a similar manner- and curled like a mask over thier face, wrapping around their left cheek, muzzle, and hinting towards the right side of their face is a white patch. Their jaw is left dark. They are once again 'dipped' with this white with a blaze upon their chest and stomach, and a small hint of it on their tail tip.

WASPTONGUE - STRENGTH, DEFIANCE, COLD GLANCES, BITTERNESS, LOYALTY, FRIENDSHIP?
Wasptongue has been... scorned. Wasptongue was once Starlightpaw. Given a right to destiny laying within the stars- a path laid sweet and true for them to follow. That right, that gift, was taken away from them. Taken away by a father who was grieving their other half, taken away from the stars. They were renamed Wasppaw, perhaps a gifted last wish to the dead Cicadastar, to be renamed in the image of Wasprattle. Akin to a burnt forest did Wasppaw finish their training, and new life is slowly beginning to flourish.

Named Wasptongue- perhaps for Smokestar's previous suffix, perhaps for their conversation- they've now taken their time to realize they need to grasp what is theirs. Wasptongue's progression from 'scorned by the stars' has moved onto 'taking the stars'. Nothing is a given right, they must take chances and hold tight. They want to sink their claws in and hold on, to move up in the world, to become star-touched as they once knew they were given freely. They are determined, strong, defiant to their fate. They are loyal to Riverclan, family, and friends- even though 'friendship' is a weird word for them.

And perhaps in a strange way, Wasptongue is more... personable with their clanmates then their siblings can be. They don't hold everyone at arms length, instead choosing to include themselves in their friend's lives, believing that part of taking what's theirs includes finding family in friends, and friends in family, to ignore grief-soaked thoughts of their fathers. There is a questionable dance there- whether or not they're doing this to distract themselves from the glaringly obvious hole in their life, or if it's of actual benefit to their goal, their dream, of being Starclan's own once more.

NOTE // I may change their personality up while I roleplay. I tend to find grooves for characters, and find it more enjoyable to roleplay them in a certain manner. This is loose, but I will be following it to a point.

FEARS AND INSPIRATIONS:
  • FEAR // STARCLAN'S WRATH - They knew just as well as any other that Starclan has powers- powers beyond their mortal grasp. While the respect them, they fear them as well, knowing they could be eliminated if they are not careful about their fight for being a chosen once again.
  • FEAR // LEADERSHIP - Not in the way you think- they fear the stain it has on the cats who take the mantle. Cicadastar was driven mad and killed, Smokestar was 'eaten' by the gorge. Will Lichenstar suffer the same fate?
  • FEAR // THEIR OWN FOOLISHNESS - Ignoring their gifted right got them where they are now- renamed, and without any love to stand on. They fear what their own two paws can create, and as such strive to create a carefully crafted 'mask' to wear, to protect themselves.
  • INSPRIATION // PATERNAL - Their fathers are a big reason that Wasptongue has a reason to strive for greatness- they know they are destined for more then a life as a simple Riverclan warrior. They can be great.
  • INSPRIATION // SURVIVAL - Surviving yellowcough, the Red Water Rogues, and the recent Twoleg plots, they feel rather invincible. Scarless, beyond the marring of their jaw, they almost boast about the battle prowess. (They fail to realize Cicadaflight and Beefang have given more then they have.)
  • INSPRIATION // GUARDIAN - Knowing that they have survived much and have a strong, hardy body, they take great pride in knowing they are protecting others- and strive to continue that. That's what Starclan would want, that's what their fathers would want, that's what Beefang and Cicadaflight do.
AESTHETICS, BASED OFF OF, ETC:
  • DUNE: PART TWO - SOUNDTRACK // Dune's aesthetics, the mystical and mysterious and religious, shadowed over a war-torn world fits what I have in mind for Charred. here
  • REGROWTH OF BURNT FORESTS // Wasp's progression is going to be like that of something burnt- likened to forests with droughts and flame, now being reborn and bursting into life.
  • GENRES OF MUSIC // Alternative, Indie, Rock, Grunge. They fall into the 'strong and grim' genres of music, and some softer 'I'm questioning my life and gender' type vibes.
NOTES, POTENTIAL PLOTS, ETC:
  • FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF // Wasptongue hasn't moved past 'denial'. Smokestar and Cicadastar are alive somewhere within them all. The other four stages could be, perhaps, incoming plots- but this counter can be reset by close friends. Speaking of...
  • FRIENDSHIP? // I'd like for them to be 'friendly' to most, if not all, even though Wasptongue still feels above them. Keep your friends close, and enemies closer, right? (This can devolve into a question of trust: who will they trust in their darkest moments? Who are actual friends? Is there a sense of identity lost by taking this path?)
  • LOVE? // Because of 'FRIENDSHIP?' and 'FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF' stacked together, they've lived a relatively loveless life. No crushes, no relationships- and they aren't particularly looking. When Anger/Bargaining/Depression happens, they'll believe that perhaps Smokestar's and Cicadastar's greatest weaknesses were each other (in a sweet way, however... they'll want to avoid that).
  • MORALLY GRAY // They'll do what benefits them first, then their siblings, and Riverclan last- their goals are paramount. This being said, they'll do just about anything to achieve that goal, while still walking within the rules of the code. They are not outright cruel or merciless, but if the situation calls for it, then they won't hesitate.
  • PARANOIA // This is a possibility in their life too- tying into the 'FRIENDSHIP?' especially, a doubt of who they can trust will slowly start to drive them mad. I'm still playing with this idea, unsure if it'll happen.

Takes his role as one of RiverClan's heirs very seriously, and carries himself proudly because of it – however, with the end of a dynasty following the death of Smokestar, he finds that he is no longer the prince that he'd raised himself to be. Now, he is simply a false royal under a new reign, and he has the grapple with the fact that everything he'd thought he would be is now almost unreachable. Will he be able to get past his newfound doubts to restore his family's greatness, or will he be crushed under what might have been?

Born a prince, dubbed after the Stars themselves, he took a great pride in his name before it was ripped from him by a father who might have seen that it spelled doom for his son – regardless of whether it was out of pity or contempt, he resents having his Star-given name taken from him, and is coming to terms with his new christening, first as an apprentice and now as a warrior. Without his name, it feels like there's part of him missing deep in his chest, and he's always beens searching for something, anything, to fill that hole.

Although very newborn in the grand scheme of things, there is something very old in him, an age that can be seen if you were to look deeply into his eyes or listen intently to his voice. An old soul for as long as anyone can remember, he lives life with the wisdom of an elder, often spouting advice when he gets the chance – though whether this advice makes any sense or not is up to the one receiving it to interpret. Altogether, he can be perceived as quite unnerving or humorously juvenile, depending.

He holds names as a concept in a very high regard: names hold power, and he understands this deeply. He refuses to use the names of those who haven't earned his respect. To his confidants, he continues to call Lichenstar, 'Lichentail'. Because it was Lichenstar that gave him his warrior name, he is very hesitant to give out his new name, even a moon after he'd earned it.

Despite being a prince of the river, he finds himself with a deep soft spot for his subjects - this manifests as almost a parental love, at least in his eyes. He views his subjects as those who need to be protected by their leaders, and as the son of two kings who are now gone, he is left in their wake to watch over all the children of the river. Unfortunately, like many of his aspects, not everyone sees his kindness towards his Clanmates as parental or serene - in the fact is, he can come across as condescending to his peers, and appear as an over-confident upstart to those older than him.

If Cicadastar had the privilege of eyes and ears everywhere, then he wishes he had the same type of control. He firmly believes that RiverClan is headed for disaster without the guidance of Cicadastar or Smokestar, or one of their heirs - the line is blurred on whether or not he thinks that there's a plot out against the family itself, but there are certainly thoughts in his head that there are those who are out to get him. Perhaps, he thinks, something more happened at the gorge the day his father died than what everyone is being told.

Plots:
— Somehow, his disrespect towards Lichenstar gets leaked. What will the Clan, and their leader, think of such a flagrant lack of respect? Will their attitudes force him to come to terms with Lichenstar's name and his own, or will he grow more stubborn than before in his beliefs?

Bonus Information:
— Drypaw: recent development, refuses to get anywhere near water despite having been excited for this aspect of his adult life as a kitten.
— Has echolalia, so repeats words or phrases from others on occasion.
