The Royals
By artemis & Scartail48(The bold stuff is the most important)
(the rest is lore that you can reference as needed *WINKS*)
The vast march is rich in wildlife, but there is an inhabitant of this area that might come as a surprise. At the top of a hill, looking out over the extensive land that had once been a great hunting grounds for its former human inhabitants, the ruins of a castle stand tall, it's weather-beaten towers piercing the sky. In this castle reside cats who, oddly enough, have taken on a lifestyle and hierarchy that are almost complex enough to be human. Plot
After the death of his mate and son, King Stoneheart has fallen into a depression and has become extremely protective of his daughter, Dewfern, to the point where no one outside of the Royal Family sees her. Stoneheart's lack of leadership is causing tensions to rise in the Castle, and ideas are beginning to spread that perhaps this Royal Family is no longer fit to rule. Perhaps, cats start to whisper, it is time for a new dynasty to begin.
Our plan is for a divide to form among the cats of the castle—they will either side with the current royal family and defend their position or they will try to overthrow them (and possibly try to take the position of power for themselves). Your cat will have to make a choice about what they think is right, and we will leave it open for the players to determine the outcome.
Events→ Hunting patrol attacked by two foxes. Patrol went to the herbalists.
→ Lighttail "prescribed" herbs to help Stoneheart's mental state. So far he has refused to take them.
→ Sandstripe (an herbalist) is conspiring with disloyal cats to poison the King.
→ Duskstorm asked Dewfern to try to convince Stoneheart to step down peacefully. Her attempt resulted in a brutal argument between her and Stoneheart.
→ Dewfern snuck out of the royal tower and told Duskstorm about the plan's failure. Sandstripe overheard and decided to take matters into her own hand by sneaking deadly nightshade into the King's prescribed herbs. She asked Dewfern to take them to her father, claiming they were from Lighttail.

The CastleLong ago a tall castle was built to please the former inhabitants. Now it satisfies the cats that live there.
The castle is concealed by a vast swamp, and is guarded by its tall stone walls. The Grand Hall has many tables, tapestries, and decorations here and there. This hall is well suited for meetings, that the cats must attend. The Kitchen stands on the left of the Grand Hall, where they store their prey. The sides have old cooking supplies that the past owners used. The Dining Room is underneath the Kitchen, and has a long, grand table in the center, where they sit down to eat.
The enormous stone castle was built for twolegs, but now, in their absence, the cats have filled their place. It is old and a bit weathered, but still standing.
The Great Wall: Built to protect the castle within, the massive stone wall is almost impenetrable. There are small parts where the stone has fallen away, which serve as more discreet exits.
The Round River: Or, as the twolegs called it, the moat. The “round river” wraps around the walls, making it impossible to cross without the use of the drawbridge (unless, of course, you're a good swimmer).
The Entrance: What used to be a drawbridge has broken and is permanently open, making it the only way across the round river without swimming. It, too, is worn down by weather and time, and it can be treacherous if you don't watch your step.
The Grand Hall: The largest room in the castle, the grand hall is where the cats gather for meetings, it is adorned with large, intricately woven tapestries, and there is a large dining table where the twolegs used to gather to eat. Now the cats often share their meals here, and it is a general place for socialization and celebration.
Food Storage: What used to be the kitchen is now the storage room for the cats' prey after they've hunted. They save it here until everyone in the castle gathers to eat together. It is against the rules to take food when it isn't meal time.
The Garden: The once well-kept flowers and herbs are now overgrown and wild, but the cats still make use of them for medicinal and ceremonial purposes. They are maintained by the herbalists.
The Meadow: What used to be a courtyard is now taken over by shrubs, flowers, and weeds. It's a fun place for younger cats to come and play or for older cats to simply enjoy the sunshine. It is also used to train younger cats hunting skills and fighting skills, which are crucial for their survival. There is, however, a danger of predatory birds in this open area, and snakes have also been seen here.
The Resting Chambers: There are several rooms throughout the castle that have old, but soft, warm beds inside that can host several cats at once. They generally group up with their cliques when they're choosing a place to sleep, but there aren't any rules regarding where you can sleep (excluding the chambers in the Royal Tower, which is forbidden to cats without royal blood).
The Nursery: The safest chamber in the castle, without any drafts and with the most comfortable bedding, dedicated to nursing mothers and their kits.
The Royal Tower: An entire tower dedicated to the King and his family. It is, of course, the nicest place in the castle and is off limits to anyone without royal blood, meaning anyone who is not a family member of the King.
The Rat's Nest: What used to be the dungeons are now overrun by rats. It is very dangerous to venture down there, but sometimes in times of famine cats will risk their lives to hunt for rats there. There is, of course, a great danger of being attacked by the rats in a swarm, and few cats survive their journeys down there, dying either from the attack or an infected bite.
The Ancestor's Hall: This well-decorated place used to be the chapel for the twolegs. It is still a place of worship for the cats, for they go here to pay their respects to their dead ancestors and seek guidance from them. The priests live here and are in charge of its upkeep.
The Heath: The wilderness surrounding the castle. It is their main source of food, but is also filled with their predators, making it very dangerous to an unskilled cat. It is strictly forbidden that cats under the age of seven moons enter the heath, for their own safety. Cats under the age of 12 moons must be accompanied by an older cat.

Life in the Castle
Ranks and Jobs
The Royal Family: These cats are the elites, and they rule in dynasties. When a Royal Family has lost their power, either by being overthrown or simply by untimely deaths, a new family will take over. These times of transition are always chaotic as different families scramble for power.
The King: Self-explanatory. The King is in charge of all affairs, but it is up to him how involved he wants to get in the politics and lives of his subjects.
The Queen: She holds just as much power as the King, and sometimes more. It also her choice how she wants to influence and control the cats in the Castle.
The rest of the Royal Family: These cats enjoy special privileges and powers, since they are favored by the King and Queen. They are usually in charge of leading hunting or battle patrols and enforcing the laws the the King and Queen dictate.
The Royal Guards: These cats are the only ones allowed in the Royal Tower who aren't a member of the King's family. Some Kings and Queens never leave their guards' sides, while others try to shoo them away, but it is undeniable the necessity of protection when the role you hold is so eagerly sought after.
The Priests: These cats are credited with the ability to communicate with the Ancestors. They are often sought after for guidance, and are usually wise and peaceful cats.
The Herbalists: These cats tend to the garden as best they can (They're very protective of it), and have an extensive knowledge of natural medicine. They are the healers for the Castle's inhabitants, and they also supply flowers for ceremonies and rituals.
The Hunters: These cats are in charge of supplying food for the Castle's inhabitants, and they have to venture out into the heath to do so. They are skilled at their job, but it's a dangerous job. That's why they have the Guards.
The Guards: These cats protect the Hunters while they are out catching prey. The heath is filled with predators, such as foxes, falcons, and even wolves. They have to be strong, attentive, and have to know when back down. This is so that the Hunters can focus on hunting and not have to worry about whether a fox is breathing down their neck.
Customs and Traditions
Naming of a new King/Queen: There is a celebration in the Grand Hall, and the Hunters are expected to supply a feast. The new King/Queen chooses a section of any of tapestry in the castle to be torn off and worn on his/her back. It is considered polite to toss flowers at the new leader when they enter the hall. The new King/Queen will give a few words, which will followed by a night of feasting and celebration. It is time of joy for the Castle.
Birth of Royal Kits: When the kits are old enough, they will be lead down to Grand Hall, where they are showered with gifts and attention to celebrate the continuation of the Royal Family's bloodline.
Training young cats: When a cat reaches the age of seven moons, he/she will be taken under the wing of either a Priest, a Hunter, a Guard, or an Herbalist. They become this cat's apprentice, and the mentor is responsible for the young cat until he/she deems the apprentice ready. There isn't a set time length. It is simply a matter of when the mentor thinks there is nothing left to teach the apprentice.
Names: Cats are born with a single word for their name (Leaf, Sky, Flame, etc.), and will earn a second part to their name (Leafnose, Skyfall, Flamefur, etc.) when they complete their apprenticeship. The ending for their name will be chosen by their mentors. Members of the Royal Family are given the second part of their name at their birthing ceremony (see above).
Finishing an Apprenticeship: When a mentor has decided that their apprentice is ready to finish their apprenticeship, a ceremony is held in the Grand Hall. The King and Queen observe the ceremony, but usually do not participate. The mentor gives a short speech and gives their apprentice a second part to their name. There isn't a strict script, but it is usually along the lines of "Today, (apprentice name) will become a (apprentice's new rank). (Apprentice's name), you have demonstrated (one or two strengths the apprentice has shown--this part is occasionally exaggerated) and for this reason I believe you are ready for your full name. From this day forward, you shall be known as (Apprentice's name with their new suffix)." Here the apprentice is expected to show gratitude and present their mentor with a gift as thanks for dedicating their time and energy to their training. Afterwards cats are expected to approach the former apprentice and use their new name in congratulating them. The apprentice's family and friends may also give small congratulatory gifts to them, but it is not required--it's simply a nice gesture.
Speaking to the Ancestors: When a cat needs guidance, he will generally go the Ancestor's Hall to ask a Priest to contact his deceased relatives and loved ones. Or he will simply go to pay his respects and ask for guidance on his own. Sometimes and Ancestor will speak directly to a cat without the aid of a Priest.
Courting: When a cat falls in love, it is typical for him/her to go the herbalists and ask for flowers to give to his/her crush, either in person or by anonymously leaving them in the crush's Resting Chamber. If the feelings are mutual, the cat will get flowers in return.
Meal Times: There are two meal times in a day: one in morning, and one in the evening. It is not required to be present for both, but those are the only times one is allowed to eat. Preists and members of the Royal family get to eat first, and after that is first come, first serve. Everyone eats together in the Grand Hall, and if anyone is caught eating when it is not time for a meal, they will not be allowed to eat all for the following day.
Royal Family Laws
The King and the Queen are allowed to alter the laws at any time.
The heir must be a direct descendant of the King or Queen.
Murder is strictly forbidden. Only the King and Queen have the power to sentence a cat to execution. Murder in any other case is punishable by death.
Treason is punishable by death.
No one but the Royal Family is allowed to enter the Royal Tower.
Eating when it is not meal time is greedy and therefore forbidden. Any cat caught stealing from the Food Storage will not eat the following day.
Mentors are responsible for their apprentices. If the apprentice breaks any rules or is injured, the mentor is responsible and will face the consequences along with his/her apprentice. |

The Royal Family
l Stoneheart l King l 62 moons l Stoneheart is a sturdy, dark gray tabby with a muzzle that is light gray from age. His eyes are a dull yellow, and the tufts on his jaw that give him a square face. He is muscular and noble-looking, but nowadays there is an air of exhaustion and sadness about him. l He used to be a kind and fair ruler, but when greencough hit the castle, his wife and son lost their lives to it. He still hasn't recovered from the loss, and since then he has kept his daughter locked in the Royal Tower for fear of losing her, too. Everyone outside has assumed that she either died of the greencough or is sharing her father's depression, for no one has seen her in moons. Stoneheart is extremely protective of her. The castle has been suffering, too, without his formerly strong leadership, and many think he is no longer fit to rule. l ☾ αятємιѕ ☽ l
l Dewfern l Princess l 26 moons l A glossy white pelt with a silvery ear. She has light blue eyes, and is covered in a thin pelt. Dewfern is small for her age, but never lets that stop her. She is extremely agile, and has the sleek pelt for slipping around, however, she has never escaped the Royal Tower. l She is rather shy, considering she has never met anyone except her father, mother, and brother. She never really has conversations with many people, so she's always sending odd social signals. Dewfern is always open to new ideas, hoping things for her will change. l Scartail48 l
l Thunderheart l Guard/King's brother l 62 moons l Thunderheart looks a lot like Stoneheart, but he's a ginger tabby rather than gray, and his face is more narrow and triangular. He has smiling green eyes and a relaxed demeanor. l He is laid-back and cheerful, and he always tries to spread his positive attitude among the castle. It's rare to see him angry or even agitated, and he has a habit of pretending nothing's wrong, even when it is. l Thunderheart has never been resentful of his brother for earning the title of King. He enjoys having less responsibility, but now that Stoneheart is declining, he's finding a lot of the King's burden falling unto his shoulders, and it's beginning to take it's toll on him. He worries often for Dewfern and for the Royal Family's future, but does his best to keep his concerns to himself. l ☾ αятємιѕ ☽ l
Royal Guards
1 Icefang 1 37 moons 1 He is a strong white tom with blue eyes and scar over his left eye. 1 He is deeply loyal and see those seeing the king unfit to rule as traitors. He would die for any of the royal family. 1 His mother died when he was born and his father died soon after. 1 Very loyal 1 Icefang 1
1 Archclaw 1 37 moons 1 Archclaw is a dark grey tom with broken mackerel stripes. His paws, belly, and the bottom of his tail are a light brownish grey colour and his muzzle and chest are white. Archclaw has a large build and broad shoulders, with long, curled claws, and a scar going from his cheek, down his neck to his chest. His eyes are a bright greenish yellow colour. 1 Archclaw is a solitary and stoic cat, who can become devious when it is needed. He doesn't really know how to act or speak to young cats, like kits and apprentices, but he will get along great with grown cats, and will treat cats he trusts like a sibling. Archclaw is also very good with his words, and can be supportive of his fellow clanmates. When he was young he looked up to the royal family, and was determined to work hard to get to where he is today. 1 Disloyal. Archclaw used to really respect the king, but recently he has begun to question his ability to rule, and believes that there should be some changes. He still does respect the king a bit, and isn't exactly fond of being disloyal to him, but in the end, he will do what he thinks is right. 1 Sootfeather 1
Priests
l Skysong l 33 moons l Skysong has a soft, light gray pelt and pale blue eyes. She is tall and lean, and her face is somewhat stern. l Skysong is quiet and reserved, and she always seems uncomfortable when she's outside of the Ancestor's Hall. She almost seems to have an easier time talking to her Ancestors than her actual living companions. Her lack of social skills makes it difficult for her to make friends, but she will always offer her guidance when asked for it. Some say, however, that her guidance can be too blunt. 1 Skysong couldn't care less who is in charge; she is loyal only to her faith. l ☾ αятємιѕ ☽ l
1 Pinestep 1 26 moons 1 Pinestep has a slim build with long limbs and a triangular face. His short fur is a medium-light cream colour, and the area around his eyes, nose, and forehead, his chin, his legs, his ears, and his tail are a dark brown, and he has white paws. Pinestep's large, almond shaped eyes are a deep, dark blue colour. 1 Pinestep is a cat that always seems to have somewhere to go or something to do. He enjoys a busy life, and he is interested in exploration and finding new ways to improve clan life. Pinestep is normally pretty cheerful and friendly, always enjoying a nice chat, however, sometimes he can start rambling on and on about things he's interested in. He's also pretty wise and thoughtful for his age, and thinks carefully when handling other cats and in serious situations. However, when making decisions for himself, he doesn't always think things through fully, and could potentially put himself in danger. He likes and is serious about his job, and he's very religious. 1 Pinestep is sort of in the middle. He hasn't quite decided yet, but he is leaning on disloyalty, fore he thinks a more capable leader might be needed. When he does make up his mind, he will likely keep his opinion a secret until it is relevant. 1 Sootfeather 1
1 Petalheart 1 19 moons 1 Petalheart is a light brown tabby with thin, darker brown stripes. Her tail is very fluffy and sometimes gets underpaw. Her eyes are amber and she is lean, since she doesn't eat much--not for any particular reason, just because she's never really hungry. 1 While her name might give the idea of a kindhearted, sweet she-cat, Petalheart has a biting wit when annoyed and can be cynical. While this seems like an odd personality for a priest, she is peaceful and does not believe in physical violence--she believes firmly is battles of the mind. She has been known to stir up trouble thanks to her naturally abrasive nature, however, she doesn't purposely go around starting fights and makes easy, light conversation without a problem. Just don't clash with her beliefs, or she'll have a field day howling your ears off. 1 From the same parents as Oak, but an older litter 1 Disloyal, she thinks the king has turned his back completely on the castle and is useless. She sees potential in Dewfern but is not ready to fully support her 1 @tinkerzb 1
1 Jaggedcloud 1 41 moons 1 Jaggedcloud is a very light grey shade with a big grey stripe going down his back. A whitish gray stomach and broken tabby stripes all over his body. His tail is a very thick and long tail that usually has peeks of fur sticking out as he cant ever seem for his fur to stick down hence the name Jaggedcloud and light green eyes. 1 Jaggedcloud's personality is connected to his ancestors. He acts wise and unafraid as he knows the future of the Royals will stay strong. But inside he is afraid. Unloyal cats have been uprising. But he has to have faith in his ancestors. He has to have faith that Stoneheart will get better. 1 Jaggedcloud was brought to The Royals by ancestors. As Jaggedcloud's family had the blood of cats that lived with Royals. He is believed to descend from a long times gone leader of The Royals but him and his sister will never know if its true. 1 Strong loyalty to the king. He will protect the castle to the death. 1 Kin is Robincall ( sister ) 1 @thistlereed 1

Herbalists
l Lighttail l 47 moons l Lighttail always has an exhausted air about her, and can come of as snappish and cross. She has a unkempt ginger pelt with a scar on her muzzle. She is not very muscly, and is rarely seen out of the garden. l She constantly sighs at anything that stresses her out, and has very little tolerance for tomfoolery. She is always very obsessive over the garden. l Loyal 1 Scartail48 l l Sandstripe l 59 moons l A ginger tabby she-cat with a medium coat and an average build; she spends most of her time in the garden so she doesn’t build a lot of muscle. She’s on the short side, with round yellow eyes and small, pointed ears. l Sandstripe comes across as a peaceful, generous healer, but underneath she carries a lot of weight. She suspects that everyone, including the King, blames her for the death of the Queen and her son, and lately, she has been wondering if it would be best for everyone if the current generation ended. 1 Sandstripe grew up in the same generation as Stoneheart and has spent most of her life as the Royal Family’s main herbalist. When she was younger, she hoped that she would be chosen as the Queen, but her hopes were dashed when Stoneheart chose a hunter instead. She was bitter for a long time, but did her best to keep it to herself. Now, after a harrowing season of Greencough and death, she has taken note of the King’s decline. She is beginning to doubt his ability to rule. Oh, and by the way—she’s the only one who knows where the poisonous plants are kept. l Disloyal 1 ☾ αятємιѕ ☽ l 1 Maplefall 1 25 moons 1 Maplefall is a mottled brown she-cat with tints of red and some brushes of rowan throughout her fur. Her eyes are orange and large, and she has a long, thin tail. Her belly is a lighter shade of the rest of her fur, and her left ear creases slightly down. She is a little small but not oddly so. 1 Maplefall is trusting and not inherenty bad-natured. Like most other Herbalists, she is protective over her plants and will often snap and lash out at those who dare touch them without permission. However, she is not usually rude or high-strung and can make good conversation on a topic she finds interesting. While she might come off as shy and gullible at first, she is simply quiet and keeps most of her thoughts to herself. 1 Loyal, although if someone makes a strong case for those disloyal she could be persuaded to swap sides. 1 @tinkerzb 1 1 Whispersoul 1 28 moons 1 A ghostly white she-cat with grey eyes. She has a silvery nose that shimmers like stardust during a full moon. Her fur also shimmers like stardust during the full moon. 1 She is a kind and loving she-cat. She loves anyone and everyone. 1 Her family has always been herbalists. She is the smartest herbalist in her family. She has a connection to nature and it hears her call when she is in need. By hearing her call it gives her the knowledge of where a certain herb is. 1 Her loyalty has always been with the king. 1 She has a necklace of vines and one petrified blue rose petal. 1 @angelfur 1 1 Fallenbark 1 27 moons 1 Fallenbark is a light brown sokoke tabby with with dark , almost black,brown sokoke stripes that turn black under nightfall. With a long flowing sleek tail that has no marks or spots on it and just a blackish brown tip. Fallenbark has dark blue ice eyes that seem evil or harsh. 1 Fallenbark is dead serious most of the time and hates jokes. He hates self-centered or egotistical people. And always keeps a straight mind about himself. 1 Born and raised in the castle. Was disgraced multiple times by his family for becoming a herbalist. 1 Disloyal. Secretly wants to get rid of the King. He wants someone who cant affected by emotion to lead the throne. 1 @thistlereed 1 Guards
Thunderheart (Also listed under Royal Family)
l Rowantooth l 31 moons l Muscular dark ginger tom with some red mixed into his fur. He has yellow eyes and some scars on his shoulders. l Rowantooth is a stubborn and ambitious cat. He is the type who won't down from a fight and won't be so keen on being merciful on his opponent. He is not afraid to speak his mind. He has a fierce temper and has been known to keep grudges. Rowantooth is good at planning things and shows some leadership potential. 1 Rowantooth is thinking about overthrowing the the royal family. Right now he is looking for others like him. 1 Disloyal l Hawkeyes258 l
l Ripplestorm l 36 moons l Apprentice: Fox l Handsome long haired light gray tom with some black near his face and parts of his pelt. He has light blue eyes and a muscular build under that fur. l Ripplestorm is noble and fair cat. He likes to keep himself busy doing what he can to help everyone. Ripplestorm has a way of saying just the right thing. Though don't let his easy going nature fool you, Ripplestorm can be quite cold and blunt about things. Ripplestorm can talk in a way that can make you feel really guilty or sorry about something. Usually this only comes out on bad days or unless you really tick him off. 1 As a apprentice, he really looked up to his mentor. So much so that he copied some of his personality.
1 Loyal l Hawkeyes258 l
1 Flamewhisker 1 15 moons 1 Apprentice: Cedar 1 Flamewhisker is a strong tabby cat with long fur the color of fire. His eyes are the color of a savannah, and his fur hides his muscular build. And while he seems like a big cat, he's rather young and stumbles about rather awkwardly. When he rolls onto his back, you might think you stepped in warm snow if you happened to trip over him since his underbelly is a bright white color. 1 Flamewhisker is extremely loyal to his friends and the king. He would surely fight to the death for them, his king, and every cat he is sworn to protect. And while he's still a bit young to firmly grasp how possibly unstable the castle is becoming, he has 100% faith in his king. He's also a bit socially awkward, but he doesn't realize it until someone explains why something he said or did is weird. Some call him a bit of an airhead, but again, he rarely sees it as an insult. 1 Loyal 1 Scartail48 1
1 Morningstorm 1 33 moons 1 Morningstorm is rather large golden tabby with a long billowy tail.

Her distinct amber eyes that have an orange tint to them. Packed underneath her thick coat is muscles and few old scars. 1 Morningstorm comes off intimidating with her cold demeanor, often limiting herself to short responses. Once opening herself to others she's gentle giant with laidback personality.

She tends to be overconfident and underestimates what others can do. 1 She was an only child and spoiled by her parents. 1 Disloyal l Hawkeyes258 l
l Duskstorm l 20 moons l A handsome black pelted Tom with sleek short fur and an unusual 'x' shaped scar on his right shoulder. He has deep golden eyes, and resembles on Oriental breed, as his mother was a purebred kittypet. He is tall but thin with lean muscles; what he lacks in strength he makes up for in speed. 1 He is quite grumpy with other cats and prefers to keep himself to himself; he does, however, get along with the younger kits and cats. For some reason they really love him. 1 At the age of 4 moons his father took him from his mother, and brought him into the castle, raising him for three months, before his father died, killed by a wolf. Duskstorm became reclusive and lashed out at almost everyone for a long while as he recovered from the loss.
1 Disloyal l Bloodrose l
l Rosebriar l 17 moons l Calico she cat with ginger speckles and bright green eyes l She is a shy serious cat. She is more bubbly amd laid back when you get to know her. She has problems talking to toms. 1 Loyal l Mother Dark l
l Pebblesong l 28 moons l A thin-furred black cat with forest green eyes that glimmer with curiosity, hiding her internal struggles from her physical appearance. She is smaller in stature than most fully grown cats, though lean with muscle that ripples through her pelt. Her build and thin fur make hunting easier for her as she is swift on her feet. 1 Pebblesong is firm in her beliefs and will stand up for what she thinks is right. She is willing to die for her beliefs if necessary, but on the average day-to-day basis, she is often reserved and keeps to herself. Inside, she is constantly battling herself over duty versus passion and desire. In the uncertainity and darkness of her life, she has built up quite a curiousity for exploration and adventure, though she knows she shouldn't dare to do more than is allowed. 1 She has an interest in Dewfern, as the Princess is a mystery to all but the Royal Family
1 Loyal l hawkclaw3 l
l Shadowfire l 25 moons l 1 A dark-brown tabby cat with black stripes running across her face, stretching from her eyes, and running down her back,flank, legs, and tail. She has a creamy chest and underbelly, and light blue eyes that stand out from her dark fur. There is a murderous glint hidden deep within her eyes, revealing her true nature. 1 Shadowfire is a very independent she-cat, choosing to prove her ability to exist as equals among those around her. She is more respectful to the Royal Family on the outside, but see's them as lesser than herself, as well. While she is good at playing nice and doing as she should to remain as a Hunter, she can often be rude and mysterious, but is very good at hiding her true intentions from those she doesn't trust.
1 Disloyal; she wishes to overthrow the Royal Family and wouldn't mind ordering their execution l hawkclaw3 l
1 Tawnyclaw 1 24 moons 1 Tawnyclaw has brownish-orange fur that resembles sunset painting that just mixed the colors a bit wrong. She has sleek fur and a lanky physique that's perfect for maneuvering through the heath. Her yellow eyes are like lightbulbs, but not the kind that give you a warmth, but the kind that calculate your demise in quiet. 1 Tawnyclaw has a stern poker face that is hard to penetrate when she focuses. A lot of cat's know her as neutral when it comes to the loyalty to the clan, and some know her as a cold and cruel soul, but she is constantly second guessing her actions when she thinks they hurt someone. She is actually a very insecure cat deep down, and genuinely thinks that she would be a good ruler. But on the surface, she won't reveal her guilt. 1 Disloyal 1 Scartail48 1
1 Flickerpool 1 22 moons 1 A pretty, pale ginger tabby she-cat with a tall, elegant frame. Her fur is quite long and she's got two white front paws as well as a white belly and muzzle. She has a pale pink nose and her eyes are a bright blue. 1 Often very serious, this she-cat is quite calm and composed. It is very rare to see her in a frenzy and in fact, she is quite stoic, hardly ever giving a laugh or cracking a smile. This she-cat is very honest and only speaks the truth so she's a great cat when needing advice as she does not lie. It is only about her views on their current ruling that she often remains quite and would rather not utter a single word over the matter. Because of her placid self, she doesn't talk very much and only engages in conversation if she's expected to. If there was a cat that didn't know how to speak to others in a socially accepted kind of way, this would be one for she is socially awkward and responds bluntly. 1 As a younger cat she used to be quite a bit more open and friendly despite how odd it would be to picture. It was only after her parents disappeared that she closed herself off and became the way she is. 1 Disloyal 1 🎃❅❖.Şp໐໐kฯຟiຖ໓.❖❅🎃 1
1 Robincall 1 41 moons 1 Robincall is a ginger she-cat with ticked tabby spots that are red and a light shade of yellow eyes. Her tail is more sleek than her brothers and is very agile and lethal. She has strong lithe legs that very long. And smaller ears with light orange ear tufts. 1 Robincall is untrusting. Sneaky and cannot be encouraged to do anything. She makes her own decisions and doesn't hesitate about them. 1 Neutral. Doesn't know if she trust the king right now .... 1 Kin is Hollowcloud ( Brother ) 1 Came with her brother to the Royals hoping for a better life. 1 @thistlereed 1
Apprentices
l Fox l 10 moons l Guard Apprentice l Fox is a Somali-like breed of cat, her fur thick and a lovely shade of red, her tail very long with feathery fur that often drapes on the ground if she holds it too low. She has large, winsome green eyes lined with black fur. Her muzzle, chest, underbelly and the tip of her tail are white, as are her toes. She has long claws. l Fox is a graceful she-cat, smooth and fluid in her movements. She is training to become a guard, her large body and strong mind making her a very capable candidate. She always puts 100% effort into what she does, and when excited is a bumbling ball of fur. 1 Fox once fell inside the round river and almost drowned; she was unconscious for a long while before she came back around- she's been traumatised of any body of water since, and will refuse to go near anything fast-flowing or deep. 1 She has a deep fear of water, having almost drowned when she was younger.
1 Unaligned; doesn't really understand it all and is relying on the adults decisions. l Bloodrose l
l Cedar l 9 moons l Guard Apprentice 1A thick-furred orange cat with stony green eyes. Surrounding his head is a lighter shade of orange fur that forms almost a mane around his head. He is working on building muscle, which is beginning to show from underneath his heavy coat, bulking his shoulders and legs. 1 Cedar is a cat who puts all of his efforts out in order to achieve his goals. He is training hard to one day become a Guard for the Royal Family, and wishes to see peace and love restored to life within the Castle, as he's heard it used to be. He is very kind and loyal, especially to those he cares about. 1 1 Uncertain, as he doesn't believe he is old enough to truly understand and does not know which choice would lead back to a peaceful home l hawkclaw3 l
l Oak l 10 moons l Hunter Apprentice 1 Oak is a lighter brown tabby with darker brown stripes. His eyes are green and he has a long, fluffy tail. His belly, paws, and muzzle are white. Oak is lean but not skinny, but not muscly either. 1 Oak is a normally good-natured and fun-loving tom who loves to joke around and chat with others. He is friends with his fellow apprentices and wants good for all the cats in the castle. However, he thinks Stoneheart has given up his role and turned his back on the castle and that Dewfern is absolutely useless. He thinks someone else ruling would be better for everyone else, although he doesn't wish to have power and is a little scared of how much chaos would happen if the royals were overthrown. 1
1 A typical history for a cat, he's related to Maplefall some way. l He thinks he's disloyal, but isn't sure enough to really know. 1 @tinkerzb l
1 Owl 1 8 moons 1 Priest Apprentice 1 A pudgy dark brown tabby tom with distinct black speckles running up he's underbelly. His fur grows unevenly along his spine and hind legs, leaving tufts of fur sticking out. Owl large cooper eyes give him the effect of being innocent, along with his stubby legs he trips over. 1 By nature Owl is a soft-hearted tom who is compassionate about learning. As kit he was prone to being clingy constantly requiring company of others. Owl easily engages in conversation with others chatting up a storm to keep cats intrigued. His only downfall would be easily falling prey to being manipulated by others. 1 Chooses to remain neutral 1 Meep 1
1 Moon 1 9 moons 1 Guard Apprentice 1 Thickset she-cat silver paws, tail tip, ears, throat and belly with a spot of silver around her right eye. The rest is pale gray, she also has long fur and is kind of big for her age. 1 She loves fishing and is very good at it but she finds hunting on ground harder. She find battle useless but she will fight with skill if it means to protect her clanmates and clan. She finds talking about her feelings difficult and does not talk that much unless asked. 1 Born and Raised in castle 1 Brother Frozenmask and sister is Honeystep 1 Loyal 1 HvghDuhh 1
1 Red 1 9 moons 1 Guard Apprentice 1 Red is slightly taller than the average cat, with longer limbs and a lean, slim build. His medium length fur is a bright, dark red colour, with a snow white muzzle, chest, belly, neck, tail tip, and socks that go a bit higher on his front paws. Red's pelt is covered in dark classic tabby stripes, and he has a dark stripe that goes along his spine to the tip of his large, bushy tail. His golden eyes are large and round, with a hint of light green. 1 Red is pretty cheerful, determined, clumsy, and optimistic. He likes to keep an open mind and try his hardest, although he can be a bit clueless at times. This cat may seem naive, and he is sometimes, but he can show a great amount of wisdom for his age and has proven to be a great thinker. He just needs to learn to use this to his advantage, instead of doubting himself. Redpaw is a bit socially awkward, messing up with his speech, but it doesn't stop him from speaking with and getting to know his clanmates well, although he can be a bit shy around new or older cats. 1 ed isn't quite sure if he is loyal or not. He's been looking at both sides and hopes to come to a decision soon. 1 Sootfeather 1
1 Rose 1 10 moons 1 Royal Guard Apprentice 1 The female has a lean build, with strong and sturdy muscles. Rose is quite tall, giving her an intimidating facade. Her pelt is of a deep ginger, similar to that of alder. It is It is short and sleek, making it easy to keep well - groomed. The royal guard's eyes are a pale orange. They are very large and round. Rose always keeps a polite smile on her face, and rarely changes it while she's working. She appears elegant yet cold. 1 Rose is incredibly devoted to her job. She vows to herself that she will sacrifice anything and everything for the royal family. She adores her job with every piece of her heart. She believes that it gives her a meaning, a purpose. Rose is a cat that believes that devoting yourself to something is the only way to truly live life. As such, she is fully committed. Sometimes, she overworks herself, making her tired and stressed. She doesn't know how to pull away and enjoy herself outside of her job. She keeps a solemn and respectful face, and rarely changes it, both at work and outside. She has an interest in Dewfern, an attraction to the pretty but silent face. She cannot figure out whether it's a crush, curiosity, intimidation or something else. 1 She didn't have a particularly dreadful or amazing childhood. Quite an average one for someone of her rank. 1 She is incredibly loyal to him, and would die before speaking a bad word about him. She is quite concerned about him on the inside, though she would refuse to admit it. 1 @winterlynx 1
1 Rue 1 11 moons 1 Guard Apprentice 1 Rue is a long legged, tall she-cat. She has sturdy shoulders with a large body. Her pelt is a dark ginger, the fur being thick and fluffy. Her ears are an almost whiteish ginger with brown tips. Her paws are mitted with the same whiteish color as her ears. Her eyes are a yellow color and are quite small. She is called graceful by some, and scary by others. 1 She is quite tough. She will defend her friends, and if you try to hurt her, she will fight you. Though, she is awfully awkward with others. She will probably be awkward in confessing to mates or others. 1 Loyal 1 pansy blossom 1
1 Flint 1 8 moons 1 Hunter Apprentice 1 Very small light grey cat which colour wise is almost white. She has hetrochromia with one blue and one grey eye which makes her face look slightly lopsided. Despite this her most notable feature would be her size as she seems to be closer in size to a kit than an apprentice. 1 She has a bubbly personality which is larger than her small body but she can be easily misled and is quite gullible. 1 She is loyal to the King however she can be easily influenced and is slightly bewildered by everything which is going on. 1 Her name comes because whilst her mother was expecting she pledged to name a tom-kit Flint but when Flint was the only kit in the litter she named her Flint anyway. 1 ashrain 1
1 Dawn 1 8 moons 1 Herbalist Apprentice 1 Dawn is a short-haired, lean, and firm-muscled cream-colored she-cat with darker ears and tail rings. Her dark green eyes are usually narrowed in a glare. 1 Despite her rank, Dawn is an ambitious and hard-working cat although her judgement can easily be clouded by her arrogance and unwillingness to accept assistance. Although she is not perfect, Dawn is trustworthy and keeps secrets well. She is stubborn, proud, conventional and always does what she thinks is right for her loved-ones. 1 Neutral, she can't bother herself with matters that are mostly the Regal cat's problem. 1 Dawn is not interested in having a mate...ever, she thinks courting is a waste of time and resources so she discourages it. 1 ᴄᴀʟᴀᴍɪᴛʏ 1
1 Enchanted 1 7 moons 1 Herbalist Apprentice 1 Enchanted has a smooth black pelt. With flecks of white all over her body, more on her face. She had amber eyes flecked with green. She is also blind. (That's not the only reason she is training to be a herbalist!) 1 With immense patience with herbs but a short temper with those who intently bother her. She is strong willed with opinions and and some points when defending her opinion she doesn't know when to stop. 1 Disloyal 1 Phoenixstar 1
1 Rook 1 7 moons 1 Priest Apprentice 1 Black furred oriental-looking tomcat with small paws and bright blue eyes. His fur is long and tends to shed more than normal. 1 He tends to be clever, but he is socially oblivious. His opinions can very easily change with persuasion. 1 Neutral 1 kismet 1
Mothers1 Sunpetal 1 25 moons 1 Sunpetal is a golden-colored ginger tabby with green eyes. She has a thin tail and small paws. Similar to Maplefall, her left ear is creased slightly. She is slightly--mostly unnoticeably--taller than average, thanks to her lanky legs. She is obviously expecting. 1 While Sunpetal is not meek, she puts complete faith in those she trusts and usually expects them to live up to how she thinks of them. She has many thoughts on everyone herself--most of them judgmental or not particularly favorable--but she is still friendly and can see the good parts of every cat. Sunpetal is a follower, not a leader, although she had high expectations for whoever is leading her. 1 She is Maplefall's littermate. 1 Mostly disloyal--does not fully trust Stoneheart to lead--but has no interest in power for herself and will have the same arch and high expectations for any cat in charge. She will support the royal family if she deems all other candidates to be unfit for leadership 1 @tinkerzb 1 Elders
1 Wolfbite 1 56 moons 1 Wolfbite is a large, muscular cat with a strong arch in his back and powerful forearms. He has a hard bite and large fangs- lending to his name- and a large, bushy tail. His once pure-black coat is now streaked with shiny silver. He is left-back-leg has a deep scar around the ankle and he has a limp. His jaw is very slightly crooked with a scar over his nose- he has more scars over his shoulders, back and neck. He has very sharp amber eyes; piercing when they slice into you. 1 Wolfbite is a serious Tom, and comes across as quite wise. He mentored Duskstorm and the younger Tom took on his grumpy personality. Although grumpy, he speaks well and still enjoys teaching wherever he can- even if he can't quite /show/ as well anymore. 1 Used to be a hunter before he was attacked by a wild-dog that bit his leg and severely injured it- this dog attack is also the reason for quite a few of the bad scars on his body. He managed to slash the dog across the muzzle and mar its face, successfully scaring it away, before he determinedly dragged himself all the way back to the castle. This ended his hunting career. 1 Loyal 1 Bloodrose 1
1 Adderstripes 1 73 moons 1 Mostly brown tom with tabby stripes and pale green eyes. He has some white on his throat and chest. Alderstripes has some grey hairs on his pelt and some scars on his back and belly. 1 Alderstripes is kind and friendly tom. He loves to tell stories even if they are exaggerated. Alderstripes used to be pretty mean though he learned to be nicer with age. He can be bit forgetful at times and snappy if you annoy him. He often day dreams about all those he had lost. 1 Alderstripes used to be a royal guard. He claims he was the strongest and that he could fight anything. 1 Neutral 1 Hawkeyes258 1
Rogues 1 Holloweyes 1 45 moons 1 Holloweyes is a large, strong tom cat. His dark brown fur is a medium length with long black stripes running through and disrupting the base color. His white underbelly runs a little past his muzzle and up to his dark green eyes. He is a rather handsome cat, but his appearance is broken by multiple scars on his body. 1 Once a very playful and adventurous kit, he is now a cold and unyielding ruler with a powerful way of speaking. Holloweyes has learned through trial and error how to make convincing argument for his side and rarely gives up. He has become a cold and emotionally unavailable rebel who considers himself to be the rightful ruler to the castle he was exiled from. 1 When Holloweyes was 14 moons old, he decided that he wanted to be king rather than Stoneheart. an assassination attempt was made by him, he was caught before damage could be done. When he was caught, the king threw him into the Rat's Nest to be killed by the swarm of rats, but he escaped, wounded and in immense pain, vowing revenge on the royal family. 1 Disloyal. He wants to see the current royal family replaced by himself before throwing them into the Rat's Nest. 1 Scartail48 1 1 Adderfang 1 40 moons 1 She is a savannah cat with thick, black markings covering her sides and two long black stripes down her back. Her legs are long, slender and she looks graceful, but her fangs are long and sharp, and she is very large in size due to her breed- she has a long tail which ends with a plume of fur. Her fur is sleek and short. She has honey-coloured eyes with darker orange rings around the pupils. 1 Adderfang holds herself with a proud grace and is always well-groomed with her head held high. Her voice is clear when she speaks. Her pure size, along with her strong voice and calm, piercing gaze makes her a very intimidating she-cat. 1 She was specially bred by an irresponsible breeder; this breeder ended up becoming too overwhelmed with the sheer size and ferocity of her breed, and so the breeder abandoned all cats inside of the breeding-warehouse for dead. Adderfang swiftly took control of the group of now-feral cats and became the overall dictator of the group- until they finally found a way out. Most of them went their separate ways, others died in the wild; some starved. Adderfang prevailed through sheer willpower. It wasn't long before she met Holloweyes and joined his band of rogues. 1 Adderfang comes across as loyal to Holloweyes- though it is difficult to really tell what she is thinking. She preaches for him, putting him across as, 'the true king.' 1 Mate with Holloweyes 1 Bloodrose 1 1 Thorn 1 30 moons 1 Thorn has severely ripped ears so bad that it looks as if he barely has any; other than this he is quite handsome with a pale grey coat which is thick. His tail is long and feathered, and he has petite paws. 1 Thorn is a nervous cat, usually just following orders that are given to him without question. He is flighty but can fight if it is required of him- especially if his life is at stake. 1 Loyal to Holloweyes 1 Bloodrose 1 1 Deertail 1 13 moons 1 Deertail is a stocky and muscular Tom with a bobbed tail. He has large paws with long claws and ears that are folded over. His coat is a beautiful chocolate brown, dappled with white spots and a white underbelly. 1 Deertail tries to find the positives in most situations and has never allowed himself to get down about anything. He has fierce survival instincts and is one of the youngest rogues in Holloweyes' group. Even though he is small, he won't back down if challenged by someone older and bigger than him if he knows he could take them- and even then, it's a matter of pride. He has dark brown eyes. 1 Adderfang found him as a small kit being attacked and almost carried off by a hawk. Unsure why, she rescued him and half-raised him with the group, mostly wanting him to have his own independence so he wouldn't fall behind or get injured. 1 He is more loyal to Adderfang than he is to Holloweyes, and will always look to her first before he'd follow the toms orders. He has a strange glare in his deep brown eyes whenever he looks at the leader. 1 Bloodrose 1

((Alright here we go !!! I'm throwing these guys out there as options for interaction, but feel free to ignore any of them lmao))
- - Stoneheart
Stoneheart wandered aimlessly in the great hall. It was almost empty, and the cats that were there seemed to ignore him. He moved so slowly that he could have been dream walking, and his age was evident in the stiffness of his walk and the slight hanging of his head, as if he were weighed down by the tufts of gray fur on his cheeks. His yellow eyes were fixed on the castle floor. His tail floated behind him.
He hadn't really been conscious of leaving the royal tower; he just felt a strong need to walk around. Part of him hoped it might lift his spirits and bring back memories of when he was younger--when his queen was with him and he felt invincible.
But she wasn't with him. And he felt like a gust of wind could blow him over at any moment.
- - Thunderheart
Thunderheart trotted to the entrance of the castle, where a patrol was gathering to go hunting, and dipped his front paws into a long arching stretch. Then he leaned forward and shook out his back legs, opening his jaws in a luxurious yawn. He shook himself, flicked his tail, and gave the hunting a patrol a friendly look. He didn't seem to have a care in the world, but he looked a bit tired, even though the stretching suggested that he had just slept most of the day away.
"Are we ready to go?" he asked.
- - Skysong
Skysong sat alone in the ancestor's hall. She looked up at the old windows; she was basking in their light, but she disn't look comfortable. She felt a sense of unease, but it was hard to tell whether these feelings were prophetic or just a part of her personality.
"Is anyone there?" she asked softly, hoping an ancestor might speak directly to her--but they rarely did. After a long silence, she lay down, her shoulder blades protruding from her back.

((To Thunderheart))
'We're ready.' Grumbled Duskstorm, his eyes wary as he kept his distance from the other cats on the patrol. He gave his black-furred chest a few nervous licks, stretching out his claws from his toes.
He slowly stood and stretched himself out ready, tail curling over his back as he patiently waited for them to set off; his eyes were a little flat against his head. It was well known Duskstorm was much more antisocial than the others, but he wasn't a bad cat- just enjoyed his own company over the company of others.

- - Lighttail
Lighttail sat before her garden grinning at the large expanse of flowers and herbs she had cultivated. She gently stroked a flower's petals with her calloused paw. She had received many scratched from thorns she had ripped away from her precious plants. Looking up at the sky, she took in the wafting breeze of the flowers and padded through the garden, checking for weeds that crept into the plant's space. It was a perfect day for her garden, but she maintained a vigilant watch, ready to rip thieves to shreds in the unlikely event they tried to take her herbs away. Lighttail was, perhaps, a little stir-crazy.
- - Dewfern
Dewfern had been pacing in her tower room and admiring the ripped tapestry when she heard Thunderheart's voice outside. She rushed to the window where her uncle was setting up the patrol. She felt a tinge of disappointment when she realized she was all alone in the royal tower, and all possibility of entertainment was gone until they came back. Her poor father. It was hard to even feel mad at him for locking her up when she knew he had been torn apart over Dewfern's mother and brother's death.
She rest her head on the windowsill, sharing his drained feeling for a moment while her uncle talked to the patrol. She wanted so desperately to leave the room and hug her father, but he just seemed to be too distant lately to see her. Dewfern wanted to TALK to someone. Not just about the death and sorrow in the world, or the latest prey they caught, but have FUN for a day. For now, she would watch the patrol leave.

"I'm ready!" Aspenwhisker mewed happily. She was eager to get moving and to catch as much prey as she could for everyone. She shifted weight to her right back and flicked her tail back and forth.

((Omg Dewsong no..........I'm cri))
- - Thunderheart
"All right." Thunderheart looked out over the round river at the heath that lay beyond, then back at them with a semi-serious frown. "Try to actually stay nearby me this time, okay? I'm not as fast as you hunters, and I can't watch out for your safety if you're scurrying around like mice." He glanced over his shoulder to check if anyone else was coming.
- - Stoneheart
Stoneheart wandered into the garden. He looked up at the sunshine; it lift d his spirits a little. He heard someone rustling in the grass and turned his head.
"Good afternoon, Lighttail," he said.

'Rude.' Duskstorm muttered, ears flattening even more as they began to move out to start the hunt. He kept his senses keen, whiskers twitching. He seemed to loosen up once they were moving and he could focus on things other than the cats around him.

(So, I'm going to add two characters, but I'm going to just put them in the rp for know.  ) - - Lighttail "Hello your Majesty," Lighttail mewed with a short bow of her head. What ails you today?" She assumed he came in because he was sick considering he looked so... unwell. She had to remember to be patient with him and his gloomy attitude since he was the king, and his queen had just died. She inferred he was deprived of sleep based on the unkingly way he carried himself. - - Flamewhisker "Yes sir," Flamewhisker meowed obediently. He tried to maintain the strong, silent type, but he kept spacing off when Thunderheart spoke. The young cat was still a bit new to the concept of gaurding on a patrol, and didn't want to mess it up by getting lost or falling in a ditch or... While he thought of these possibilities, he felt himself getting lost in the void of his brain. He would just have to figure it out on his own instead of dying. - - Tawnyclaw Tawnyclaw nodded, a disinterested look on her face. The guards were more trouble than they were worth. Why couldn't the hunters just go and adventure in the woods. She new saying something would be trouble though, so she said nothing. When she heard a cat near her call him rude, she had to silently agree. The king's brother was far too full of himself. She stood up and got ready to venture in the deep woods. |

((Apparantly it ate my post and I didn't realize lol........cool))
Thunderheart
He couldn't help but feel that half of them weren't listening, but he couldn't blame them.
"All right, let's get going then. Oh and Flamewhisker, try not to get distracted by butterflies again. They're not dangerous." Thunderheart gave the other guard a friendly nudge, then hopped onto what was left of the drawbridge. He trotted across it and waited for the rest of the patrol on the other side.
Stoneheart
"Oh . . . I'm not sick or injured, I was just taking a walk." Stoneheart glanced at the sky. "There are hardly any clouds."

Duskstorm swiftly followed, tail held high as he did, taking dainty steps across the drawbridge. He lifted his ears, relaxing slightly and swivelling them to listen to their surroundings, silently hoping he'd get the first catch of the day.

- - Lighttail
"Yes, the weather is perfect for growing," she agreed. He was acting odd. Lighttail (and everyone) had noticed his growing sadness, and she feared this was one thing she could not heal. It made her wonder if he was really fit to rule, but she knew he was. She hoped it was just temporary. She ripped a thorny weed out of the ground, cutting her paws and opening the scar on her muzzle. Letting out a grunt of pain, she grabbed a leaf and cobwebs to place on the opened wound.
- - Flamewhisker
"Yes sir," he said again. Flamewhisker remembered chasing the butterfly with a hint of embarrassment. Shaking of the memory, she padded after the group, watching for any predator or strays that date attack the patrol. He'd like to see them try.

Aspenwhisker flicked her tail as she walked with the others. She was tempted to race to the front, but holds herself back. "So where are we hunting"? She called out.
Rowantooth patrols the castle. While on his patrol. he lets his mind wander. He wondered how many others didn't like the king and who wanted him gone.

{ I'm just going to casually jump into the patrol, if that's okay  }
Pebblesong | Drawbridge
Pebblesong walked cautiously with the patrol, following Thunderheart's lead. Her pawsteps were made carefully as she padded across the drawbridge in order to ensure her safety. She made constant glances to those around her, checking to make sure all was well. As she neared the end of the drawbridge, she bounded steadily to the other side where the ground was safe, and felt a sigh of relief escape her body, as it usually did after she crossed. There was something about the drawbridge that filled her with a strong sense of fear and anxiety, but she did her best to hide these fears as she didn't want to be seen as weak.

Shadowfire | The Meadow
Shadowfire sat in the meadow with her tail curled around her paws. She enjoyed the feeling of the warm sun tingling her senses and sat with her back towards the sun. Her blue eyes were narrowed as she scanned the area around her, watching for movement of any kind. She kept her claws unsheathed at all times in case of emergency, or whatever else came her way. The expression on her face was currently serious as she calculated the activities the day would allow her.

Rosebriar looked around the resting chamber. Maybe no one would notice she was here and she wouldn't have to interact with anyone. She was so scared they would judge her and she couldn't stand to think of it. She began to shake with silent sobs.

((Hey guys, sorry I've been away all day--this weekend's turning out to be pretty busy, but I promise after it's over I'll be back and active! And Darkriver13, your cat is welcome to join the patrol--I kind of threw it together so everyone could start interacting & getting a feel for each other's characters, or Scartail can send someone over to you  )) - - Thunderheart"We don't have to go far today; I'd like to avoid that big tree out there since I smelled fox on it the other day." Thunderheart shrugged. "But you hunters can lead the way. My sense of smell isn't as sharp as it used to be, so I won't be much help looking for prey." - - StoneheartStoneheart watched her and frowned slightly. "Do you need help?" he asked. |

((Heads up my dudes, there's going to be a fox attack on the patrol (foreshadowed by Thunderheart's questionable sense of smell) so if you want your cats to have an interaction afterwards with an herbalist who has a secret stash of poisonous plants, for some reason *wink*, you may want to let your cat get an injury during the fox fight *winks again*))
((Edit: this won't be the only option for disloyal cats to make an assassination attempt btw; your cats can come up with their own plots, Scartail and I just wanted to throw this one out there *winks a third time*))

- - Lighttail
"No this happens," she grunted as she set the cobwebs in place. Lighttail sighed and picked grabbed a small leaf bundle. "Now I hope you don't think me rude, but I have a feeling you're uh... struggling with the current royal family situation." She held the leaf bundle out to him expectantly. "See, I have some herbs to help you get some sleep and cope with the... Anyway, here." She pulled out a small pawful of seeds and leaves. "The chamomile is just to relax you, and the poppy seeds are good for getting some sleep. Only take two per day. This is for taste." She smiled and placed the things into the sack and handed him a smaller bundle that leaked a sticky substance. "It's nectar." I may be being pushy, but this castle is starting to fall apart. He needs to get back to his old self, Lighttail thought, letting her tail brush the ground behind her.
