Alright, well, Briarstar has some family and clanmates that played important roles in her history and helped make her who she is today, so I'm adopting these cats out! I probably should have done this earlier before everyone made so many cats, but no rush with this. This isn't going to be first come first serve, but if you're interested in applying for any of these and know you're going to take a while, you might want to let me know so I don't end up choosing someone before you get a chance. Some of these have personalities attached, but mostly this is pretty free reign.
Up for adoption:
Not all of these cats necessarily need to be adopted, but these are all the possibilities. Personal preference, I would love for the ex-crush and siblings to be adopted, and then maybe the father's friend, then the rest of them.
Up for adoption:
A motherTwo (as of Nov 27th) 48 moon siblings- A once best friend but possibly now only a friend
- An ex-crush except still kinda a crush (it's complicated)/unconfessed love because Duty shoved its way in???
- Mentor
- First apprentice
Father's friend

Right, so now before I give details about those cats, I need to give you some history. I would tell you to go look at her bio, but I haven't finished that yet. So instead, here are some main points. Sorry it's so long...
Now on to specifics. A note about appearance: this is very hard. Uh, so basically I have no must do appearances, as long as genetics makes sense and all. But it's hard to make genetics work and match if you don't know who is going to end up playing which cat yet. So if you want you can put in an appearance, but I think it might be a good idea to sort that out later on after the mother and siblings have been adopted.
For reference, this is a picture of Briarstar. I couldn't tell, but alch and Tilly said that she's a black ticked tabby, if that helps anything!
Mother | 5-6 years | queen
Personality: I only have a few points for how she was during Briar's childhood, it's possible and totally acceptable that she could have changed by now. Kind to the clan, firm when raising her kits. Loved her mate very much. (People can suggest names for the mate if you want, but I'm waiting with that until the appearances get sorted out because right now I don't know his appearance.) After her mate's death she was pretty devastated and sad, but vowed to bring her children up well. More or less succeeded, up to you how good of a mom she was.
History: Only requirement is to stick with Briar's history.
Eldest sibling | 48 moons | whatever gender, though having a tom in the litter would be great
Personality: Really up to you.
History: Really up to you. Give them a mate, a friend, an apprentice, etc, etc, etc. Please mention their attitude towards Briarstar when she was young, and their current attitude towards her now.
Youngest sibling | 48 moons | whatever gender, but having a tom in the litter would be great
Personality: Really up to you.
History: Really up to you. Give them a mate, a friend, an apprentice, etc, etc, etc. Please mention their attitude towards Briarstar when she was young, and their current attitude towards her now.
Best friend/friend | around 48 moons | whatever gender
Personality: Up to you, but remember that they were supportive of Briar during her apprenticeship.
History: Up to you!
It's complicated | around 48 moons | tom
Personality: Well, at least when he was young he had to be somewhat sarcastic and sharp/mean. Was he disguising his emotions from the start or did her grow to like her only later? Does he continue to try and stay close to her? Has he gotten himself a mate and moved on? Does he hate her for pushing him away? Actually that might go under history, but please mention at least his current attitude towards Briarstar.
History: Gosh again: up to you.
Father's friend | something reasonable | whatever gender, but I do imagine them as a tom
Personality: Pretty much up to you, though maybe sorta headstrong/caring because he addressed the father's eating problems?
History: Up to you. Don't forget the guilt guilt guilt.
These too! Just that I don't have anything special to say about these, so I'm listing them separately:
Mentor | something reasonable | whatever gender
First apprentice | ~35 moons | whatever gender
Whew! If you actually made it through all of that, I'm impressed.
Application:
Cat wanted:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance: totally optional for pelt color, but if you want to remark on scars, build, etc, you can do that
Personality:
History: doesn't have to be much, just some brief guidlines
Changes: if you want anything major changed, but I suggest discussing it with me first
Other: special info or whatever you want to add in that doesn't fit in anywhere else
- Briarstar was born as the second kit of a little of three in the middle of leaf-fall.
- Mother was firm but kind, loved her mate very much. Father was rather out there and reckless, outspoken with plenty of energy. Had the suffix -tail for his climbing skills.
- Kithood was pretty normal, except that there were the hints of sadness and worry that leaf-bare brought that everyone tried to hide from them but they still picked up. The three kits, though, only felt hungry once in a while, for they were the main priority.
- Around them though, everyone got thinner. Father made sure to prioritize his mate and kits too much, becoming way too weak though he denied it. Mother tried to get him to eat more, sometimes succeeding, sometimes not.
- When Briarkit was four and a half moons old she attempted climbing a shrub, inspired by her father's known climbing skills. However, it was night, her mother was asleep, and no one was there to help when she found herself stuck. Too afraid to cry out for fear of getting punished, she clung there until she was missed and brought down. This started her fear of climbing.
- Then one day, Father went out with a friend to go hunting. Friend brought up Father's eating habits, and the two got into an argument. To prove that he was still fit and healthy, Father became reckless, climbing a tree and jumping from branch to branch. Friend tried to get him down, but Father wouldn't listen. At last, inevitably, Father slipped and fell from the tree he was on, banging into multiple branches on the way down that prevented him from landing right. At last he landed hard on a slippery icy hard area near the stream.
- He was brought back to camp, but died soon after. The three kits were 5 moons old. Devastation followed, Briarkit becoming very scared of climbing and her mother becoming very sad. However, Mother vowed to still bring up her kits well, and pretty much exceeded.
- Made apprentice at 6 moons, at the start of new-leaf.
- She refused to climb trees no matter what.
- Worked very hard at other skills, becoming very good at maneuvering around on the forest floor and agile.
- Cats made fun of her and talked about her behind her back, especially one tom who seemed to constantly do so and with whom she was constantly exchanging sharp remarks with. But there was at least one apprentice who didn't make fun of her: who became her best friend.
- During an assessment towards the end of their apprenticeship, 11 moons, she was hunting when she came across the scent of her friend. Not wanting to run into her friend since they were being assessed, she was about to turn away when her friend let out a cry for help. Running to see what was wrong, Briarpaw saw her friend at the top of the Towering Oak, foot caught. Thinking only about her friend, Briarpaw climbed up and then slowly helped her friend down. Due to already being very agile, she was able to due well enough.
- When they returned to camp, everyone looked at Briarpaw differently. She began to hone her climbing skills, often seen coming and going with one tom in particular. (Some cats might have wondered why they were together so often when they seemed only able to insult each other, but other, more careful observers, would have noticed that they became rather close. (Hint: crush crush crush))
- Became a warrior at a year old, getting the prefix -tail for her newly found and useful climbing skills.
- Got an apprentice sometime around 19 moons.
- Became deputy around 28 moons, during leaf-fall, after the previous deputy died from sickness and combined age.
- Was noticed to have stopped hanging around others as much, noticeably the tom and her best friend. (Basically began to push others away because she was putting duty and work first and couldn't balance both.)
- Became leader in the middle of leaf-bare at 36 moons, after leader died fighting off a fox (having run out of lives).
