[RiverClan] i'd die and come back just to love you (fadingstar love finder)

[occultation]

Hi all! Due to some changes in-RP, Fading and Wisteria are no longer firmly set to be mates. While she’s still a potential candidate down the line, I wanted to open up this finder to see if there are any other potential matches for him out there!

Fading is straight, so he’s only interested in mollies! He’s a pretty troubled cat, constantly haunted by a darkness within him that he fears he can’t control. He often feels alone and isolated, particularly recently. He will do best with a cat who’s able to show him kindness and patience, and who has a calm and even-tempered personality.

Fading can be impulsive, emotional, and intense. He always strives to do what’s right, but as they say the path to hell is paved with good intentions. He’s an inexperienced leader so he often makes mistakes; a mate who is able to help guide him through these issues and provide a listening ear is ideal.

Fading will be a loving and protective, albeit quiet and reserved, mate. He isn’t the type to proudly and loudly proclaim his love to the entire Clan; in all honesty, once they become mates, he probably won’t say much of anything to anyone and just let them figure it out themselves. Talking about romantic feelings with anyone but a mate makes him feel incredibly awkward.

He’ll want to spend lots of time with his mate; once RiverClan returns to their normal territory, he’ll find a secluded place out in the territory for a hideaway for the pair when they want it. He has four kits (although they currently don’t know he’s their dad!); he will tell his mate about them once they grow super close, and he’ll expect her to be accepting of them and loving toward them.

Fading will want kits with his future mate; this is very important to me, as I want Fading’s family to have a legacy in RiverClan. Fading wants these kits to be biological; while he’d prefer an AFAB he’s fine with a MtF trans cat as long as they’re okay with using a surrogate down the line!

Obviously this cat needs to be a loyal and dedicated RiverClan warrior who is genuinely interested in making the Clan better! Fading is currently 30 moons; I’d prefer someone between 24 and 40 moons but I’m willing to flex a little for the right candidate. My hard limits are 18 moons and 50 moons.

Aside from everything I’ve said above, please just be highly active with this character and willing to commit to them over the long-term! I don’t mind Fading’s mate dying eventually, but I very strongly prefer that not happen like two months after they become mates lfjskfj

I’ll leave this open for a while and pick a few candidates to try out! Ideally this will be a slow-burn (but not too slow since I get impatient lol)

Fancy applications are much appreciated, but do whatever you want! Just please put some effort in. I’m going to be picky since Fading is my main and a character I want to keep for a long time. You're welcome to create a cat for this role, but I'll want to see you be consistently active with them for a few weeks before picking them as a candidate if I think they're a good fit.
