THUNDERCLAN MENTOR / APPRENTICE MATCHMAKING

[MERLINPAW]

Also for August :)

Name: Merlinkit
Activity level: Casual
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: Any kind of mentor would be great! I'm planning for Merlinkit's development to be heavily influenced by her mentor and her training. She has a meeker, uncertain disposition that may not mesh well with stricter mentors (though OOCly I am very down for this!). Will need lots of encouragement to unlock her full potential! I am also completely fine with an NPC mentor as well <3

 

[lavs]

Name: basilkit
Activity level: casual moving into more active
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: basilkit is a rambunctious and wild boy who could benefit from a stern but supportive and encouraging mentor. someone who understands his energy and tries to meet it rather than quell it.

 

[Noor ♡]

roe will be available for mentoring again with this next meeting <3

Name: Roeflame
Activity level: Active (20+ posts a month)
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: Overall Roeflame will be very upbeat/encouraging. She'll try to push her apprentice to try new things and to get out of their comfort zone. She may not be the most stern warrior, but she'll command respect from her apprentice, both towards her and those around them. Roeflame will likely base how flexible she is/how much slack she can give depending on how her apprentice progresses/how their personality develops! In general she'll be extremely dedicated to her role as a mentor and take training very seriously.

Name: orangepaw
Activity level: active ( 15+ monthly posts )
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: orangepaw needs a mentor who is kind but stern. someone who will push him to be the warrior he needs to be but also take into mind his limits with his leg... or maybe not. maybe he needs the type of mentor that will push him past his breaking point, even at the cost of his own health. that is entirely up to y'all. either way, his focus will be on defensive fighting and tracking. he will not be the best runner, or climber, but he will do what he is told without much fuss, if any at all.[/b]

 

[maxine]

putting her back up once more...<3

Name: leafhusk
Activity level: active
What kind of mentor would they be?: strict, empathetic, flexible. wants the best for her apprentices & holds high expectations. still not above arguing with a child.

 

[Ghostunes]

Name: Dwindlingpaw
Activity level: Active
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: A kind and steady mentor. She is very driven but needs pointing in the right direction/ put her energy into positive things. I'd like for her to have someone to look up to :)

 

[cobatic]

for the upcoming meeting!

Name: spiderkit
Activity level: casual-active
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: honestly, i'm open to working with any dynamic thrown at me! i do have a slight pref for a mentor who will be able to take spiderkit under their wing and turn this zero into a hero, someone who will be able to push him through his development arc of learning how to be a more confident and well-rounded warrior (b ᵔ▽ᵔ)b

 

[KARMEN]

Name: Doespring
Activity level: Active (getting there!)
What kind of mentor would they be?: Strict and dedicated, Doespring would not give her apprentice too much downtime. She would focus on well-rounded training, though she is more skilled at combat in general. Anyone she mentors would often find themselves collapsing into their nest at the end of the day, too tired to stay awake... although it must be noted that she is not an unfair mentor; compliments and encouragements would be given, and she would protect her apprentice at all costs.

 

[Kitty-Kat-]

Name: Glowingpaw
Activity level: Casual
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: open to anything! for reference though, glow' is extremely introverted, anxious, and desperately wants to fit in. she's the kind of kid to put her own wants/needs/feelings on hold for others - something that could either be worked on or get worse depending on her dynamic with her mentor.

Glow is in need oof a new mentor!

 

[Rynnaroo]

Name: Fadingpaw
Activity level: active (15 posts+)
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: someone who isn't afraid to push her past her limits but also can be very patient with her, if not I'm down for a little chaos if she gets a mentor who won't have a lot of patience with her <33

Adding this back up

 

[PrinceMonroe]

Name: Stagstrike
Activity level: Casual/Semi-active
What kind of mentor would they be?: He would be a mostly fair mentor, encouraging of his apprentice, but is likely to push them outside of their comfort zone and make sure they are capable in all areas, including ones not traditionally ThunderClan, such as swimming. He may occasionally be harsh, due to his own upbringing being one of constant strife and wanting his apprentices to be able to look after themselves and ThunderClan. He will place high expectations on them, especially in combat.

 

[halimede]

Name: Sparkpaw
Activity level: Active (aiming for 10+ posts/month)
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: Any is fine as long as they have the same activity level! It will be a fun dynamic either way!
Other: Maybe a reassignment due to current npc mentor retiring/injured?

[Sloane]

Name: Finchpaw
Activity level: Casual/Active
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: Someone who is strict and work/duty oriented enough to push him to be as capable and formidable as he can be while also remaining in touch with a more sympathetic/empathetic side to them as to provide adequate comfort and encouragement when needed which can come in the form of tough love if it suits your character better so long as it comes from a place of genuine care. Someone who pushes him even when he says that he doesn't think he can do something and refuses to give up on him regardless of his shortcomings. Personality wise I'm not picky and would be happy with mostly any type however I'd prefer that more angsty/angry characters with default personalities of a more "mean" nature or those who are not easy to get along with are not chosen for Finchpaw as it will cause harm.

Please keep in mind Finchpaw will have a heavy plot development that will alter the course of his apprenticeship about halfway through his training, so make sure that whoever is chosen is okay with this and is able to be active enough to see this course of events through into warriorhood! Extra information can be provided through discord if needed.

 

[SWIFTPAW]

Name: Swiftpaw
Activity level: Active
What kind of mentor would you like for them?: No preference! Anything is fine.

 

[Archivist]

Name: Softsight
Activity level: Active [10+]
What kind of mentor would they be?: Stern, but lacking in experience. Prone to bouts of kindness towards the apprentice. Focus in non-combative skills.​

 

[ouijeejuice]

Name: Houndshade
Activity level: Active (10+)
What kind of mentor would they be?: Easy-going, would aim to be a supportive mentor who doesn't apply too much pressure on their apprentices. Enough to help them thrive and enough so that their apprentices respect the clan and code but is sympathetic to the negative side of high expectations and pressure. She's very friendly and would treat her apprentices as an extension of herself so would be very informal when not in the presence of other clanmates. Focuses on combat, that's where her rare streak of sternness would be as that can be a dire matter of life or death. Inexperienced so this is subject to change <3

 

[emily ★]

for the november meeting!
Name: addersnap
Activity level: aiming for active (10+/mo)
What kind of mentor would they be?: (putting in a spoiler bc its long my mind is running a wee wild....)

Spoiler: notes

addersnap is still an apprentice in his mind's eye. he would believe himself to have already been on a list of "no's" for flamestar's mentor list -- but since he did pass his exam with some relative ease, the young warrior would find himself surprised to even be bestowed with such an honor. adder would be a very disciplined mentor, especially with this being his first apprentice, believing that if he had the same type of push from his first mentor that he would have succeeded beyond his expectations (despite it being his own fault for not having the motivation to excel in his abilities). it would be expected of this apprentice to try and be the best of the best; adder would not want to disappoint leafhusk and shame her name or role in the clan. his apprentice would go through rigorous tests, focusing mostly on what they may be struggling with in that current moment. they wouldn't train with many other apprentices however (unless addersnap gets assigned more than one apprentice). since adder prefers to stick to his own still, there may only be a select few he truly would believe would be alright to train with his apprentice. he wouldn't want any outside opinions to possibly sway the "next leader of thunderclan," as he would like to think of them. focuses more on tracking and hunting than combat.

since addersnap already struggles with the idea of the younger generation and conversing with them, he may speak in little words and harsh tones towards his apprentice, but deep down he does have their best interest in mind. he may do better with someone who matches his personality, someone quiet and reserved yet hardworking and determined. over time, he will develop a sense of kinship with his apprentice and want to look out for what best fits their needs. this will take time and lots of prying, but the feeling of protectiveness and the want to see his apprentice succeed will ultimately keep him from ruining a relationship with them.

[nocthymia]

for december meeting!

Name: Roaringsun
Activity level: Active
What kind of mentor would they be?: Overrall he is very easy-going. He is not super strict in his training and is very encouraging to his apprentice, pushing them to try new things even if they think they won't like it. He is understanding and empathetic but is not a complete push-over, expecting respect towards himself and clanmates. They will also be encouraged to speak their mind no matter what :) He is flexible but it will depend entirely on how his apprentice is/how they develop!​

 

[vulture]

Name: @lovelight
Activity level: Aiming for active/primary
What kind of mentor would they be?: Definitely a more gentle mentor rather than a harsh one. He prefers to teach through positive reinforcement as opposed to punishment, would rather encourage than put down. She would likely focus on fighting, as it's what she is better at since her injury, but of course would teach what she can in regards to hunting, though she wouldn't be able to demonstrate as well as some others. He would likely spend a lot of time with the apprentice in order to teach them as much as possible, likely treating them more as a younger sibling he is teaching than just a student he is in charge of.

adding this back up since hope is mca now!! love is available for an apprentice

 

[Amberdawn]

Name: Amberdawn @Amberdawn
Activity level: Active
What kind of mentor would they be?: Amberdawn is a hard worker and she would expect her apprentice to embody that kind of behavior as well. She'd reward them with praise for taking initiative when it comes to doing things like replacing bedding or helping the elders with fleas. However, she will not tolerate laziness or lack of drive and will push her apprentice to be the best warrior they can be. She's also rather harsh with anything involving breaking the warrior code. (For example, if caught eating before feeding the clan she'd make her apprentice hunt double what they ate and not grab any prey for the rest of the day.)
