SHADOWCLAN MENTOR & APPRENTICE TRACKER

NAME: @FROZENKIT
AGE: 5 moons
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Casual, with good potential to be active once he's apprenticed
REQUESTS: none, I'm open to any dynamic
OTHER: looking to be assigned at next meeting
About him…he will be an apprentice with a lot to prove, driven by his insecurity and determination. He feels like an outsider right now, and this will make him overly eager to gain the approval of his mentor and clanmates. Over time, he has potential to develop into a hardworking and resourceful apprentice who compensates for any shortcomings with sheer grit and a desire to belong. Strengths will most likely be quick learner, adaptability, and resilience while weaknesses are probably going to be overthinking everything, being too sensitive, and putting others opinions of him on too high a pedestal.

I think he would thrive best under a patient mentor who is encouraging but firm enough to help him build confidence. A mentor who sees his potential and balances tough love with kindness will likely get the best results. However, I am not requesting this exact mentor - I am open to any and all mentoring types to see what happens ICly!

NAME: @BOUNCEKIT
AGE: 5 Moons
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Casual with fluctuating activity (so some months she may be on the active side)
REQUESTS: I prefer mentors who are oocly willing to have their character *only* be mentoring her until she graduates. I understand ShadowClan is a smaller Clan though, so this isnt a dealbreaker just a preference :3! She has long term plots planned so its my full intention to stick around :P
OTHER: assigned at next meeting

NAME: @BLOODWING
EXPERIENCE LEVEL: Low (first time mentor)
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Casual (fluctuates, average around 8 posts a month)
MENTORING STYLE: As a first time mentor, Bloodwing is likely to give it her all and overcompensate for any weaknesses by being a constant presence in her apprentice's life. She is a go-getter, often awake first in the morning and full of energy and is likely to drag her apprentice out to any of her energy-burning sessions. Her primary skill is fighting, but with her large frame and boisterous approach, she will struggle to teach more technical aspects of it to smaller apprentices. She is likely to require learning just as much as her apprentice, so someone either similar to her or patient enough to tolerate her mannerisms would be for the best.
OTHER: As she's a first time mentor, it's probably for the best if she doesn't double up <3

NAME: @FERNDANCE
EXPERIENCE LEVEL: High (has mentored on three different occasions)
ACTIVITY LEVEL: High (Average 15+)
MENTORING STYLE: Ferndance is a mentor who will try and make friends with her apprentice, oftentimes putting them up to things solely for the entertainment value and seeming somewhat absent-minded when it comes to remembering actual training. However, Ferndance is a very aggressive fighter who aims for the kill but is more notorious for her ability to track scents through ShadowClan and hunt confidently despite the drawbacks of their territory. When she is actually in a training session, she is likely to teach through practice instead of talking.
OTHER: I'm fine with Fern doubling up!

NAME: @SINGEGLARE
EXPERIENCE LEVEL: None, never mentored before
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Moderate
MENTORING STYLE: Singeglare will take to his first apprentice with unbridled enthusiasm! His goal is to mold another little fighter out of the tyke and encourage them to be the best of the best! Still, being a first-time trainer, Singeglare will undeniably trip over himself trying to teach a curriculum he only ever half paid attention to. It doesn't help that he's not the greatest people person and may occasionally butt heads with a youth he isn't prepared to hear talk back or question his motives. Still, Singeglare is never one to back down from a challenge and will do his best to learn alongside his apprentice. For all Singeglare's faults, he'll bestow a powerful sense of loyalty and honor in his apprentice and encourage them through all their shortcomings.
OTHER: No doubling up <3

NAME: @Bonechill.
EXPERIENCE LEVEL: None, never mentored before
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Casual
MENTORING STYLE: Unforgiving but patient. While Bonechill understands children need space to grow and understand, he won't always be soft on his apprentice. He'll teach them all he knows about hunting, fighting, resource gathering and independence, having little interest in properly bonding or getting to know his trainee outside of training ours. He's a teacher, nothing more and nothing less, which inevitably may cause problems down the road when he requires his apprentice to trust him.
OTHER: No doubling pls <3

NAME: @Halfsun
EXPERIENCE LEVEL: inexperienced first-timer
ACTIVITY LEVEL: active, will be doing 15+ a month as she is now one of my two mains
MENTORING STYLE: Half will be a strict, almost militaristic mentor, shaped by the countless tragedies she's witnessed. After seeing far too many cats lose their lives or suffer serious injuries, she's determined to prepare her apprentice with every possible tool to survive. She won't shy away from teaching unconventional or ruthless techniques, including fighting dirty when the situation demands it.

That said, she won't push her apprentice to exhaustion, but she also won't be particularly lenient when it comes to downtime. Her steadfast approach stems from a deeply rooted fear and insecurity—an overwhelming worry that she won't be a good enough mentor, and that her apprentice could be harmed because she didn't train them thoroughly or quickly enough.

I'd love an apprentice who either embraces this rigorous lifestyle and thrives under her guidance or someone who challenges her methods, creating room for conflict and growth. Either dynamic would be so fun to explore!
OTHER: I would prefer not doubling up if possible!
 
NAME: @LAVENDERPAW
AGE: i think he'll be 9 moons next meeting?
ACTIVITY LEVEL: active (trying for 10+ posts a month)
REQUESTS: combat and survival focused, able to handle an already withdrawn and angsty teen who just lost his guardian and source of guidance for the second time in his life. he's used to having his life planned out for him so if he comes to trust his new mentor he'll likely try and look to them for guidance.
OTHER: needs to be reassigned after his former mentor mapletuft left :( i'd prefer a played mentor

NAME: @lostkit
AGE: 5 moons
ACTIVITY LEVEL: aiming for active (10+), but may fluctuate with irl things!
REQUESTS: mainly looking for a mentor that will be able to push her forward development wise, but open to anything that might make this happen! currently, she's quite a pacifist with a thirst to prove herself as capable in the clan, but deeply believes in the innate goodness of others (though not a pushover by any means). a mentor who can help confront these traits (whether or not it actually ends up changing her beliefs!) would be perfect. her origins outside of shadowclan may also cause friction, but i'd still like her to have a positive acquaintance if not friendship with her her mentor! (so no one that would just hate her outright -- but everything else here is pretty negotiable!)
OTHER: preference for a played mentor! happy to talk specific plots through dm's​

NAME: @Silentkit
AGE: 5 Moon
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Active
REQUESTS: Depending on who mentors him will determine his outcome. Someone patient and kind would help him come out of his shell and actually start to trust shadowclan. If he's given someone strict or mean he would turn more inside and be more sure of his belief that shadowclan plans on killing the pack. I am down for either option and can be discussed. I have 0 preference for either and am just here for the ride! He's going to be a difficult apprentice, especially starting out because he does not trust shadowclan right now and he is not really speaking either. So whoever he's paired with OOC should probably know about that and be willing to put up with him/me :' )
OTHER: I prefer an active and played mentor because I want little dude to go through a lot of development ic and he's very much going to be influenced by events around him during this time.

NAME: @shalestorm
EXPERIENCE LEVEL: low - shale has had one app
ACTIVITY LEVEL: moderate-high, 10/15+ posts/month as she's one of my mains
MENTORING STYLE: Shalestorm has a very friendly and nurturing approach to mentoring, she isn't overly tough on apprentices and she enjoys teaching through play, especially with brand new apprentices, as younger cats seem more inclined to respond positively to play. She wants her apprentice to view her not only as a mentor, but as a friend, someone who they can come to if they find themselves in trouble or if they've done something wrong.

Though not the strictest mentor, Shalestorm isn't against a tough lesson or two, though she prefers to do double training if something might require a 'bad cop' to her 'good cop'. She's soft, but not a pushover, and quite stubborn! You don't want to do this hunting lesson? That's fine, but we're gonna sit here until you catch something even if it takes three days. Or you can go ahead and check all the elders for ticks, your choice!
OTHER: i'm fine doubling up, but only as a last resort LMAO
 
NAME: @STONESTRIKE
EXPERIENCE LEVEL: never mentored before
ACTIVITY LEVEL: semi-casual, depends but I wouldn't say active
MENTORING STYLE: Strict and militaristic. He's not going to be mean necessarily but to a new apprentice he may come off that way. He wants to give his apprentice the mentoring he craved, whether that is the correct choice I suppose is up to whoever becomes his apprentice. He will obviously teach hunting and tracking etc, but will be highly focused on battle training, as that is his specialty.
OTHER: I'd rather not double up, I have a bit of a hard time keeping up, time flies lol.
 
NAME: @AGATERAIN.
EXPERIENCE LEVEL: None, first apprentice!
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Casual!
MENTORING STYLE: Agaterain is a firm believer in nurturing and figuring out what his apprentice needs and what they do best. He will treat them with kindness. With his first apprentice, he might start off as a pushover, but slowly grow to realize he deserves respect and, while still remaining kind to his apprentice, he needs to be firm. He will absolutely encourage and give feedback that isn't cruel, just constructive. He aims to be the mentor he longed for when learning under his first mentor.
OTHER: I would prefer not to double up unless absolutely necessary and there's another good match!
