THE WHITE STAG PLOT ; welcome riverfam to our very first clanwide plot! a small pack of hunters have entered the forest on a hunting trip in search of the majestic albino stag rumored to live somewhere deep within riverclan territory. with little regard for any other life, they bring with them chaos & imminent danger.

this plot will be wrapped up on monday, september 5th with a couple days as a grace period to wrap up any individual plots!



timelIne

8/27 TO 9/1
🦌 & . close, thundering gunshots sound near camp, sending a flurry of duck overhead, blotting the sun momentarily. with further investigation, it becomes clear that a small pack of twolegs have taken up residence on the land, sleeping in funny little thin, triangular nests on a flat stretch of clearing. as it's still overrun with twoleg, they will not venture too far into the camp.
— during this time, the twolegs will not venture too far into the woods. they will cause problems as typical of twolegs : disturbing predator and prey alike.​

🦌 & . they begin finding tall towers further into the territory, partially hidden amongst the trees and stinking of twoleg. after a close encounter, cicadastar bans apprentices from venturing near these boxes, as they soon find out that twolegs often hide within . .
— at this point, anyone is free to interact with the twolegs! be sure to follow their behavior on the next page, and remember to run anything huge or plot - changing by me first!​

🦌 & . a giant, beautiful, ghostly white stag is seen by beesong, grazing at the river. it seems docile, less flighty than it's more commonly - colored brethren. prey and plantlife beins to seem more abundant, especially in places the deer had supposedly been . .

9/1
🦌 & . the hunters seem to be getting antsy and as their hunting trip starts nearing its end, they refuse to leave empty - handed. more traps go out, smaller ones intended for hare and rodent. soon, a mouthwatering scent will draw a patrol near the twoleg camp again, where they have prey aplenty tied up and skinned to be cooked above a small fire. after attempting to leave with a couple of the twoleg's freshkill, things go awry.
— please see landmark sign - ups to put in for a position on this patrol, as this will be the official campsite discovery!​

9/2 TO 9/10
🦌 & . another pack of twolegs approach, drawn in by the commotion and effectively running the hunters off! looks like they weren't even allowed to be here . . yikes! they take with them their trophies, leaving destruction in their wake ; abandoned traps, trash, and other ' surprises ' litter riverclan territory, slowly being cleared up by the second pack of twolegs.



8 - 28 / INITIAL PATROL :

8 - 30 / LOOKOUT BOX PATROL :
patrol head: tbd
- cicadastar
- tbd

- foxpaw
i. apprentices of patrol members welcome regardless of spot availability. this patrol will be sent to check on the campsite, which they will find is empty, save for a lone hound tied firmly to a log. again, please see landmark sign - ups to put in for a position on this patrol, as this will be the official campsite discovery!


9 - 2 / CAMP PATROL II :
patrol head: cicadastar
- tbd
- tbd
- tbd
i. apprentices of patrol members welcome regardless of spot availability. this patrol will finally venture into the camp, aiming to steal some of the twoleg pack's game. the twolegs will return angry and aim to run the cats out of their camp using any methods necessary. this patrol could be fatal for any attending, and will be very realistically dangerous!

Code:
name — patrol title, are they taking their apprentice? if so, who?


MEET THE HUNTERS

THE ELDER : the oldest of the twolegs ; weathered and greyed, carrying with him a big, loud broomstick. the least likely to take pity on scavenging animals, and seems most adept at hunting. despite often yowling wildly at the other twolegs, they seem to respect him and do as he says. loud and brash. being seen almost always ensures death so long as the man has a weapon in hand.

— loud. often hunts early morning, does not hunt at night.​

THE WARRIOR : a man of middle age, father of the twoleg kit and always seen wearing a wide - brimmed hat. mostly silent, communicating mostly to its kit and following orders from its elder. favors a strange contraption that shoots arrows instead of a boomstick, though he does carry one despite being much smaller than his elder's own.

— stealthy. camoflauges well, tends to use the watch towers. hunts using both guns and arrows. tends to hunt late at night.​

THE KIT : a small, loud, clumsy twoleg kit ; while not holding a boomstick, he is always found accompanied by the hound. this twoleg seems intent on causing chaos, but will not harm a cat directly! it is possible to have positive interaction with this twoleg, as it seems to love cats! just make sure that the warrior nor elder see you interact . .


— loud, clumsy. does not stray too far from it's fathers side often, and is always accompanied by his dog if it does.​


THE HOUND : seems to have been brought for the kit ; young and untrained, unruly. seems to have been raised with other animals and wants to play with the riverclanners! unfortunately, the growing pup doesn't know how much force to use and ' plays ' too rough, until called back by it's master. any cats caught will have time to get away, but not unwounded.

— hyperactive and unintelligent, young. usually accompanying the kit and tends to give their position away by barking. if not with the family, the hound will be found tied up at the campsite.​



TERMS & VOCABULARY
boomstick: a gun
quick thunder: gunshots

lh blue smoke mink bicolor with navy eyes / smells like wet soil and woodrot like smoke on rippling waters, he is a ghost amongst the living, stricken in colors of the dead. true to his namesake, the boy is shaded in hues of silver - whites from the moment he’s born. upon his introduction to this world, he will be absurdly tiny, his bulk consisting mostly of thick, kittish tufts of vaguely blue - toned fur. the most notable of his features, however, is the ivory flare that streaks its way up his features, ending in a point hust above navy - hued eyes. as he grows, the stony tones will deepen, lengthening out towards extremities stretching him to a height mimicking his mother. upon mid adolescence he will stand roughly the size of a young warrior, sleek and leanly - muscled. though his coat will remain long it is notably thin, falling light over the slim contours of his body in wispy rivulets of silver - white. as he grows, he will remain fairly slim, bulking in muscle
— may develop vitiligo on lower limbs. his white face flare will be shaped like a dagger, esp in art!
positive : empathetic, open, insatiable curiosity negative : odd, volatile, lacking social skills / ashen will initially come off as an aloof creature, very much in his own world. he will be spacey and a little snappish, rude without meaning to be. he is an honest child, brutally so, and the consequences of not quite knowing his social graces will lead him to be known as a bit of a weirdo. despite initial observations, ashen will be well - intentioned, learning early on to care for those around him. almost too early, his sensitivity to empathy leaving him with an almost inherent ability to know when those around him are in need of a cheering up. this has a tendency to backfire, as odd a tom as he is, his eccentrics will more often than jot come off as more strange than endearing. as he grows and retreats into a world of darkness and spirits, he will rely heavily on friends to keep him grounded in reality.
INFP - T | ❝ empathy is among this personality type’s greatest gifts, but at times it can be a liability. the troubles of the world weigh heavily on mediator’s shoulders, and these personalities can be vulnerable to internalizing other people’s negative moods or mindsets. unless they learn to set boundaries, mediators may feel overwhelmed by just how many wrongs there are that need to be set right. ❞

plot ideas
born early november in leafbare, and with cinderfrost's exile outside reinforced nursery walls, and will initially die shortly after birth from newborn cerebral hypoxia. after a couple of minutes, cinderfrost would be able to revive him by stimulating his breathing again, but the minutes he was left without oxygen will leave him with permanent brain damage.
• the damage will be a result of hypoxia, which will in turn affect his cerebral nerves and leave him with degenerative eyesight. as a kitten his sight will be restricted to a mild near - sightedness, but will rapidly approach partial blindness as he nears apprenticeship. by mid apprenticeship he will be able to clearly see lights and shadows, but will barely be able to recognize faces. he will heavily rely on scent to navigate, making him an exceptional tracker later on in life.
• unbeknownst to them, it will also leave him with a lifelong psychosis. ashen will be a very imaginative boy, and as his eyesight deteriorates and he is forced further into a world of darkness and light, his brain will begin to fill in the blanks. he will be enthralled in ghost stories as a kit ( i would like to find to find a played character to tell him these stories because he will latch onto them for life ) and eventually believe the lights catching on those he is around means they are spirits.​
although he comes off as initially alarming, ashen is almost entirely harmless. he will believe he can communicate with spirits, but he will also think his clanmates are spirits as well, so he will likely just be perceived as. a little quirky.

search through the stars to get through the night, i can tell you’re itching, i can see it in your eye. good morning sunlight, let me down slow ; don’t ask me what i want, i can tell you want to go — HEY MAGNOLIA, WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND ?
the essentialists, magnolia .


MAGNOLIA, n.
/ mag · now · lee · uh / embraces both deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs, with most species having thin, smooth bark and large leaves and flowers. valued for their large and fragrant white, yellow, pink, or purple flowers, and breathtaking leaves.
lit. soft and subtle in color yet strong in appearance, magnolia symbolises perseverance & love of nature. its tree is very strong, thus, the strength of character is often associated with magnolias.



magnoliakit ; magnoliapaw, magnoliawind / female, she / her pronouns only
⤷ named by leechpaw for the way her fur mirrors the color of magnolia blooms, warrior name will be decided as she ages. as i’d like the leader at the time to name her. -wind suffix will have to be earned, and left up to the leader at the time to decide.
— rain xx npc ; half-sibling to leechpaw / unaware of her true origins
— windclan kitten / aspiring moor runner, afraid of tunneling
— heartchart / pinterest / playlist —————————————— ❝ BAD LUCK LULLABIES ❞




lh mitted lilac tortoiseshell w/ brown eyes / smells like heather and clove / like dawn. stretches of watercolor purple - silver over an endless heaven, edges softened by rain heavy clouds hanging low over rolling moorlands. when she’s first born, magnolia is little more than a wild ball of lilac and white, her bulk consisting mostly of thick, kittish tufts of downy fur. she will be a small thing, standing roughly shoulder height of the average clan cat with limbs that still seem too long for her body. as she ages those lilac - tinged limbs darken in color, the bulk of his coat deepening from blue - white to a warm silver brown. her toes remain a mitted white, with an ivory chin stark against the deep lavender hue of her facial features. as estrogen chips at cherubic baby fat she will be revealed to be sharp - featured and delicate, forever tilted downward and looking up through heavy lashes & long, billowing eyebrow whiskers. her nose is a mottled pink - purple around the porcelain blaze that streaks up from his muzzle to a point just above large, doe - like chestnut eyes. magnolia is forever bird - boned and delicate limbed in appearance, though hidden amidst this thicket of fluff is muscle hardened and lean, lying close enough to give the impression of someone willowy and coltish despite being a size shrunken down. her coat is downy soft, silken and well - kept on principal, seeming to curl outward where wispy, dovelike strands of lilac fur end. around her throat is the most notable of his traits — a thick, light ruff of mottled lilac that follows down her slim belly, ending in a point at the underside of his haunches. and finally, her tail: a long, plume - like feather of a thing, lighter at the bottom where lengthy fur flares out, ivory - tinged.
image is a fur color reference only. defining traits will be long, flowing fur with a thick throat ruff mimicking magnolia petals, soulful eyes and the white blaze on his muzzle.
positive: imaginative, quick - witted, compassionate, charismatic, exceedingly strong morals negative: conniving, over-empathetic, bull - headed, loyal, indecisive / if you were to meet magnolia, you would initially assume him soft - spoken and nervous. he’s lamblike, both in physique and not — and while growing up he will be a primarily shy child, ducking around the limbs of those he cares for most. despite it this boy will be raised with good old fashioned manners and though he has little interest in socialization in early kithood, he is far from timid. he is curious, imaginative, almost too - much so. a child with a passion for bugs and stars, he will spend most of his time weaving stories to anyone who will listen, tinged with dreams of being the best windclan warrior there ever was. as he grows and realizes the morals instilled within him do not settle well under sootstar, he will grow quieter about his ambitions. what he lacks for in size, magnolia will learn to make up in pure wit and cunning — naturally charismatic, soft - spoken and inherently warm as he comes of age, magnolia will be a rare look into civility in windclan. while he may present himself as soft and subdued, magnolia is intelligent, almost frighteningly so. with his frequent spasms and soft, stilted drawl, he is frequently taken to be far dimmer than he truly is. it’s a mask he curated carefully over the moons of his youth ; a bystander, albeit one in the name of peace. he will be a confidant, someone to seek out and vent to, a star - blinded child of poor circumstance . . but this is not to say he will be delicate. over time he learns not to be lofty in his ideals — he was not raised to be weak - willed and it shows in his stance. he is not gullible, not naive. reaching warriorhood, he will be swift, hard - working ; he dreams of running the moors, racing the winds and rabbits. he pulls his weight with pleasure and it will show in quick, powerful limbs, muscles eventually thick and lean from overuse.
struggles with aphasia, difficulty swallowing & speaking at times. prone to limb spasms and seizures from epilepsy born of acute brain injury.
MOTIFS | ❝ rotting apple cores, open plains, dried wheat, warm browns & off-whites, quiet thunderstorms in the southern countryside, two - headed cattle, cotton, dripping honeycomb. takes inspiration from the poem two headed calf by laura gilpin. finding a brighter side in the ‘freakish’.
POTENTIAL PLOTS —
• when mag is found, he’ll be on the very brink of death. at some point be it in camp with echolight or shortly after he’s found by thunderpath, he will pass away — only to be brought back by dandy stimulating his breathing again, but the minutes he was left without oxygen will leave him with an anoxic brain injury.
he will have aphasia, often struggling to fully complete a sentence. seems to get stuck on certain words or mix his terms up. though a notable speech impediment in kithood, he will not seem to mind or even notice most of the time. will take some time to speak, but i’d love a thread of his first word,,​
• as he grows, he will aspire to be a moor runner, traversing the hills and hunting rabbit on speed alone. he will beg to train under a runner despite being just below average in size and will have high, high hopes — that will be crushed when, upon his apprenticeship, his mentor will discover that he is unable to run long distances without ‘ tripping ‘ over nothing ( muscle spasms ). he will instead be made a tunneler.
— this isn’t a plot so much as a character device but i would really like for dandy to instill his ethical code that magnolia will eventually cleave to like some cleave to their gods. he’ll be lawful good, but he will either learn directly or construct his own moral compass based on his current clan environment . . .

you did not name me. i wrestled that angel myself, spit out blood, came back storm - drenched, came back streaked with clay and stardust, came back singing. i walked from revelation to revelation, through green flame, shattered mountains, every aching famine, and here i am anyway, stronger than all of it. oh harvest moon that is my blood — OH ENDLESSNESS OF THE LIGHT IN ME.

lh blue / black chimera bicolor with sour apple eyes / smells like soil & overripe fruit shadows settle over the swamplands and she mirrors it in moonlight, blue - black splashes interwoven in broken alabaster. sharp. porcelain, fine edges, brazen grace clipped roses still speckled with thorns — her shape is thin and jutting, too honed for uncalloused fingertips. too - pale skin sinks into the dips of her skeleton, bony ankles and hollow cheeks, featuring sharp, high bones that create a concave slope down to the contour of her chiseled jaw and pointed, jutting chin. suffering from mafan syndrome, her ribcage is altered ━ a narrow, thin thing, characteristic of those creatures that fall beneath the average weight. what would seem normal is quickly rearranged when you peer past the bib of fur around it, noticing that instead of curving outwards, the breastbone turns in, creating a slope. pectus excavatum, or funnel chest, easily finding herself dangerously short of breath from extended physical exertion. as a result of his disorder, her appearance seems almost stretched, as well as being responsible for her abnormally thin build. despite her angles she is a long - legged, stunning beauty amongst the marshes, violet stands unusually tall for a molly, especially one of her clan. to her advantage, her long limbs keep mud in her ivory - splashed pelt at a minimum, caking her forearms where the silken fur is thinnest. around a delicately notched elbow her fur begins to thicken and feather outward, spiking into jutting clumps around the edges of her slim, whiplike frame, inheriting her family’s most notable trait. there seems to be no logic to her spatter - paint coat, draped in shades of shadow and sea, but she will be a shadow of her mother with her fathers towering height. her features are gently sloped and rounded prettily, with high, sharp cheekbones.

INFJ - T | thoughtful and compassionate, advocates pour a great deal of energy and care into their relationships. this doesn’t mean that they always feel appreciated in return. advocates tend to act with great thought and care, and it can frustrate them when other people don’t recognize their good intentions. as a result, even constructive criticism may feel incredibly personal or hurtful to these personalities.

the man says we were made in god’s image, but i was made from him. the snake slithers across my shoulder blades, coils its body around my neck, pulling tight. or is it god’s hand? in the shiny skin of the apple i see my own face. i do not see gods — I TAKE A BITE.
abundanceofmetaphors, e.d. .


APPLE, n.
/ ah • pl / the round fruit of a tree of the rose family, which typically has thin red skin.
lit. biblically, man is laced in a garden with trees of whose fruits he may eat, but forbids him to eat from " the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. " — commonly portrayed as an apple. as a result, the apple became a symbol for knowledge, immortality, temptation, the fall of man and sin



applebite ; apple / cisgender female, she / her pronouns only
⤷ named by gravel storm after the deep red color over her face. suffix -bite for her sharp tongue, ferocity in battle, and after her father, copper bite. prefers titles such as miss & ma’am, but allows nicknames if friends.
— gravel storm xx copper bite ; littermate to juniperfrost, lynx / aunt of squirrelpaw and coyotepaw
— three years old, 40 moons / ages realistically on the eighth
— windclan warrior / former marshlander and vehemently antikittypet / protective and keeps traditional values
— heartchart / pinterest / voiceclaim: amy addams ————— ❝ OF EDEN ❞




lh red ticked tabby with high white & honeydew eyes ❥ ҉ ༄ smells like heather and clove. a rarity amongst the moors, applebite bears the color of ruddy amber and fire, pelted with white. she is bright — always smiling, the edges of evergreen eyes crinkled with warmth. she is a small thing despite her relatively long legs, when put next to the average clan cat she will come about roughly shoulder height at the ears, which are short and lightly tufted with ginger. her features are prim, delicate - muzzled with round, fluffy cheeks and long, curled whiskers. she is pretty and knows it — a wicked russet woman, purring and alluring, never a hair out of place. she keeps herself pristine, well - groomed and sleek with a wispy, naturally - silken licks of ticked red and alabaster.

positive: warm, athletic, resourceful, confident neutral: aloof, proper, prim negative: jealous, dishonest, obsessive, overcritical ୨୧ a bubbly, tittering thing, all smiles and trilling purrs, applebite has always been the golden child. prim, proper, beauty of the moors along with friends she’s always been too willing to stab in the back. after a lifetime of pressures, the weight of her kin’s perfection on her shoulders — she would do anything to get her way, even if it means manipulating those closest to her. she can’t help it, it’s the way she was raised : always looking out for number one. that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have friends, of course. shes always been the queen bee ; the puppet master. to the outer eye, she is one of the sweetest souls you could know — though confident and fiery, apple presents herself as a presence warm as a hearth in leafbare. a confidant, a safe space . . but only those closest to her are truly safe.
struggles with feline ocd. tends to pace, overgroom, most notably pushes too hard during training.
MOTIFS | ❝ ruby red, rotting apple cores, mangled roots, dried wheat, two - headed cattle, dripping honeycomb.
POTENTIAL PLOTS —
• this is operating under the assumption she was born the only girl! if they have another sister i will. adjust a little.
born the runt, born female — the lone sister. she is smaller than the rest of her litter, smaller than most, a round, mewling tuft of kittish white - red.​
• before joining hare whiskers’ group, gravel storm and copper bite raised their children with intention. they raised their children harshly, with little cushion to shield them when they fell — and they fell hard, in a brutal pre-clan world. she began training at two months old, the moment she was able to hold her head up by herself. her mother, a naturally small molly, taught her to be fast, while her father, preoccupied with his sons, ignored her — and her brothers, inadvertently, taught her to defend herself. they were not kind, certainly not to the molly — a naturally soft - voiced, humming thing, interested in butterflies and chasing rabbit. she grew up quick and grew up wicked, grew up a force in her family. she had no other choice. she trained herself to be quick by chasing rabbit, taught precision by pinning butterflies. she is athletic, lean with wiry muscle and always sharp - clawed.
• her family joined the marsh group and she begins the pre-clan version of training under elder warriors, befriends a character ( character b ). they are extremely close, they grow up together! very overworked, trained harshly even more. ideally a mean girls type group.. but character b gets separated after the war, going to another clan. may adopt this character out of no one has an established character bc maybe apple has feelings for her,,,, soooo
• potential crossclan love interest slowburn!! obsessively loyal to windclan and sootstar but she will be my eventual dark forest character i want to cause her some pain. i want this relationship to eventually be found out by character c ( a close friend ), that she eventually corners at the gorge and begs not to tell, but after a small shouting match they fall over despite her trying to save them. she stops seeing the romantic interest after this, starts seeing the deceased everywhere. goes a little girlboss mode after this but this is the general path i really want ( and if anyone reading would be interested messaging me i’m begging ).
— holds herself to too high a standard as a result of her upbringing, followed soot to windclan. may contact ava and see if they could be childhood friends,,, some bad bitch besties. unwaveringly loyal to her but it’s because she was raised to follow her best chance of survival, and she believes it is with soot!
