[Weekend-Wondering]

Rose’Kit
// Male ~ Two moons Old ~ ThunderClan ~ Kit \\
“So what if I was born too close to the thorns? A rose is a rose, right? Leave me alone.”




Rosekit’s social life is a bit… rusty, for lack of a better word, at the moment. He hasn’t realized that this is simply because the only times he ever approaches his clanmates is to poke fun and tabbed obnoxiously at them. With his feisty and mildly emotionally-torturous personality, he has yet to find friends. Now, looking on the bright side, he might just have a chance with Orangeblossom.

Of course, with the wide age gap, these two wouldn’t be extremely close friends, and certainly not best friends. Rosekit would admire Orangeblossom’s sociability, Orangeblossom could bug him with dry humor and his friendly personality, and some dynamic could arise. Now onto the details.

 

Rose’Kit: A Basic Explanation

Rose’Kit’s biography is in my signature, and if you’d like all of the details, feel free to check that out.

As for important information when it comes to Rosekit’s possible friendship with Orangeblossom, you’ll have to know about the way Rosekit acts around others. I’ll dive deeper into explanation in the plot ideas, but for now, I can tell you that Rosekit will change as he grows. He will get more mature before apprenticeship hits, get a little less reckless with his words, and calm it down with all of the sassiness. Currently, he won’t hesitate to be as much of a bother as he possibly can, but that will change with age. He’s just bored and lonely, searching desperately in the darkness of boredom for some entertainment, and oftentimes, that entertainment involved batting at other people’s tails and faces.

Fortunately, once six moons hits, somebody would’ve gently knocked some sense into him.

 

Rose’Kit and Orange’Blossom: Dynamic

Rosekit is a fun-loving, clever, and reckless soul. Orangeblossom seems to be positive, loyal and social. From my perspective, I think the image of Rosekit slowly maturing with Orangeblossom by his side, Orangeblossom calling him out when he notices that Rosekit/Future-Rosepaw-and-Rose’River is about to get himself into something stupid and risky. Rosekit does and will do a handful of risky things that put himself in both physical and mental danger, especially during apprenticeship, and Orangeblossom might be one of the leading factors in what’s keeping him from completely getting himself killed.

Orangeblossom could play the role as both a friend and a somewhat-mentor figure. He would keep Rosekit’s reckless behavior under control and try and keep him as safe as he can. In return, Rosekit will throw gossip explosions at him, repeatedly come with questions like, “Yo- how many pebbles ya’ think I could swallow before a fun lil’ trip to the medicine hut? Eh?”, and use Orangeblossom as a role-model, something to try and make himself more like. An icon of sorts.

 

Rose’Kit and Orange’Blossom Plot ideas: Main idea

The main idea here is that Orangeblossom will help raise Rosekit up mentally into soemthing stronger, smarter and wiser. Orangeblossom would take the fiery-wreck that Rosekit currently is and prod at it until it finally becomes something healthy and clever. From there and on throughout his life, their friendship would stay stable, and Rosekit/paw/river would use Orangeblossom’s shoulder as something to cry on during disaster.

So speaking of crying and disaster, I’m planning on putting Rosekit through some good ol’ emotional trauma, because that’s just what I do to the characters I love most. Rosekit, Rosepaw at the time, will get into a fight with someone he was very, very close to (both physical and emotional) and during the aftermath, just lay out in some infamous bush in ThunderClan territory and cry himself to a pulp while hating almost everything. I like to imagine somebody like Orangeblossom finding him there, being lovely and comforting like the good soul they are, and guiding Rosepaw home once it’s over.

And for some other things, here we are:
Little Idea 1)- Rosepaw realizes he’s got himself his first crush. I’m still deciding how problematic this situation will get, but Orangeblossom could realize that something’s definitely wrong with this said-crush and their relationship with Rosepaw, maybe advise Rosepaw against putting too much trust in them, aware of the likely dangers.

Little Idea 2)- Orangeblossom teaches Rosekit some basic things about self-defense (maybe more) after Rosekit won’t quit begging and pleading him to

 

Rose’Kit and Orange’Blossom Interactions: First Meeting

Rosekit will probably do something completely idiotic during their first meeting that Orangeblossom can remind him about every once in a while during their future. He’ll start off trying to be a bother, making fun of Orangeblossom for every little thing that he can, and finally, exaggerate that annoyance, lunge at Orangeblossom and wind up getting himself sprawled painfully on the floor, looking just as stupid as he feels. To make things worse for Rosekit, Orangeblossom might accidentally snort a laugh or something along those lines at the sight of Rosekit’s struggles.

Orangeblossom could offer to show Rosekit how to properly lunge at something. Rosekit be a little grumpy, but more than willing to learn a thing or two. In the end, Orangeblossom could make some comment about how he’d like to teach him a thing or two about manners one day as well, mostly as a joke, and Rosekit will take it pretty well. He’ll realize he likes Orangeblossom, make some bratty comment, and leave.

From there, the duo could interact enough times for Rosekit to let slip that he admires Orangeblossom, feel humiliated for being a good person, and the friendship could grow.

 

Rose’Kit and Orange’Kit Friendship Development: Time periods

Kitten-Days:

During the beginning of his kitten days with Orangeblossom, Rosekit will be a brat. He will be obnoxious, stubborn, reckless, risky and a little self-ctritical after noticing how little friends and/or rivalries he has in his life. Orangeblossom will arrive and see some potential in Rosekit’s emotional development, recognizing Rosekit’s ambition, fun-loving nature, internal desire to be the best he can and his physical strength. Orangeblossom could encourage Rosekit to take steps closer to taking on a better personality and bettering relationships with his peers. As he and Orangeblossom become friends, a Rosekit will mature and change for the good, allowing his cleverness and ambition to lead him where he needs to go, along with some dangerous decisions and recklessness. I can image that Orangeblossom would be one of the cats who Rosekit turns to and smiles proudly at during his apprentice-ceremony. I’m sure that smile would be returned.

Apprenticeship:

During the start of his apprenticeship, Rosepaw and Orangeblossom will like to pair up for some conversation a lot. Rosepaw will come with questions about his training, social things, and just basic life things for a while, and start to put more and more trust in Orangeblossom. I can’t tell you how Orangeblossom will feel about Rosepaw because it isn’t my place to decide, but Rosekit will really like his friendship with Orangeblossom. Orangeblossom would become Rosepaw’s official idol and hero. But once things like unhealthy relationships come and creep up on Rosepaw, the stress of these issues will make Rosepaw also view Orangeblossom as somebody he just needs for emotional support, and if he doesn’t get enough of it, he’ll just drown in his own misery. So that’s… fun, but I can assure you that Rosepaw will have picked up some other friends by now to take some of that weight off of Orangeblossom’s shoulders. Throughout his apprenticeship, Rosepaw Will experience more change. For the good, he will get a lot stronger (lots of training, hard-work, and millions of posts and roleplays), tougher and smarter. But his problems will also make him really distrustful, closed off from many who he once appreciated, and a little cold-hearted. Orangeblossom would be his escape from these forming negative personality traits, and Orangeblossom’s company would be a safe space where Rosekit can ramble, laugh, and gossip and much as he likes, let everything out that he keeps shoved inside of him.

Warrior-Hood: This one here is assuming that Orangeblossom has not died off!

His new tougher-self keeps getting in the way of could-be deep relationships, but that’s just where Orangeblossom’s existence would be helpful. Roseriver will still come to Orangeblossom with questions and requests for guidance. Roseriver wil be extremely reckless with his romantic life and get himself caught up in all sorts of crap, and no matter how hard Orangeblossom tries to show him healthier and happier lifestyles, Roseriver will ignore that advise out of his own excessive wish for fun and risk, but he’ll still feel bad for shutting Orangeblossom’s advise out. In the end, Roseriver will hear out Orangeblossom’s recommendations and take them to heart and head. Maybe he’ll even find a happy love life.

***

All of these are technically plot ideas, though, so no pressure. Decline whatever.

Anyway, none of this has to be accepted. Feel free to say no to anything and everything that you want to.

If this gets accepted, I am always open for more plot ideas, so you can go ahead and throw them at me whenever you’d like.

Have a nice day, and of course, enjoy your time roleplaying Orangeblossom!
