SQUIRRELRISE she/her. 15 moons. small, scarred russet molly with brown markings and yellow eyes.
[ chill of death, hulk SMASH ]
trailing behind the rest of shadowclan, squirrelrise sniffles as the ground underneath her transforms from grass and dirt to cold, grainy sand. with leaf-fall in full blow, temperatures dropped the later it got. while her fur was thick and shielded her from the biting of the cold – her nose and paw pads felt like iceblocks. so, here she was, sniffling and skittering across the beach so she could hurry and sit down so she could cover her paws.
settling down, her bushy tail wrapped around her paws. yellow hues landing on the seastones, she blinks in surprise at the sight of ..wasn't that riverclan's deputy? or, she supposes leader, now, considering she doesn't see the tom that was formerly there. and, without skipping a beat, the new riverclan leader - stormstar - starts announcements. stars, so shadowclan wasn't the only clan dealing with predators, apparently. her brows furrow at this, further tension showing in her face at the mention of the battle. she doesn't blame herself anymore for what happened, but that doesn't mean she wants to think about it, lest her brain start to work against her as always.
with a hum, she glances to the side of her. based on their scent, the younger is thunderclan. they look..scared, she thinks, frowning slightly. reminds her of when she went to her first gathering. should I talk to her..?, she wonders.
"..hi..there." squirrelrise speaks up after a moment of hesitation. "I'm s-squirrelrise..from sh-shadowclan...what's your...name?" she inquires, hoping she doesn't look too nervous herself. over the moons, she'd become more accustomed to talking but if she's honest, seeing other people nervous made her nervous too.

Hiddenpaw almost yelped in surprise when they heard a small voice beside them. Turning slowly, she sees a small russet she-cat, and her gaze softens. Swallowing the lump in her throat and taking a breath, she looks towards the unfamiliar cat, though not being able to meet her eyes.
"... Hi." She murmurs under her breath, and wonders if that was even audible. Immediately assuming the warrior--Squirrelrise--did not hear her, she shuffles her paws. Oh. She'd had asked her a question. Uhhh- "Hiddenpaw." she says again, forcing themselves to speak a little louder, hoping the russet furred cat heard.

Another Gathering, but this time... No Salamanderpaw. Looked like she was tuck in camp for a loong while. So, he'd have to be brave! Big and brave! He'd never struggled to speak to cats in his own clan, but the other 3?!? That was a whole different thing. Very, very different. Especially considering his mission today: he had an apology to give. Just thinking about it made his heart sink a little. Hopefully, she'd be here tonight. Otherwise, he supposed he'd have to hold onto his guilt another moon. Pale eyes scanned the stones as they entered - all he could smell was the putrid smell of ShadowClan. Sure, in recent events he'd relaised that the other clans maybe aren't too bad, but that ShadowClan small was just - urgh! It was something he'd never get used to.
Taking a seat, they listened to the soft sounds of the sea. Sounds that could lull him to sleep on the worst of days. Eyes closed as he listened, and got lost in his dream world...
Of being a little fish! A little fish swimming in the waves. Not a care in the world, just water, and fun! Chasing currents, finding little snacks to eat, ooo and doing tricks! Do fish do tricks! He reckoned, if he were a fish, he could do an unerwater backflip!! Yea, that'd be cool.
New, sharp chatter, soon caused their eyes to flicker open. ThunderClan. Now was the time. Eyes flitted through the approaching crowd, until he noticed the calico. Anxiously, he appoached - it looked like she was alreaady with another ThunderClan cat. Oh gosh. Now that he super nearby, this was actually super scary!! Soon, he was right by her, ears low with a slight fear. Oh and his name had changed since last gathering, hadn't it? Well, surely that wouldn't matter, right?? "Er.. Slugpaw?" He started, head lowered politely - before he suddenly got scared that she'd think he was up to no good - "ah! Uh! It's nothing bad I just wanted to say-" He paused briefly, having used up all his breath - "I'm sorry about last gathering." The tom prodded the ground with his paw. Would Salamanderpaw be upset if she knew this was happening?? Well, it wasn't like she was here to see it.. "We - Well, I was mean. You didn't do anything wrong." They added. So that's what it was like, to apologise? It wasn't too bad, actually. But, now what?? They really hadn't thought this far. It looked like Slugpaw was already having a conversation, and he didn't wanna make things super duper weird. "Uh - urmmmm, sorry you're in the middle of something aren't you.." They remarked, not quite anxiously, honestly, a little goofily. He hadn't really considered the fact that he was causing a bit of an interruption. "I can go now!! Have a nice gathering!" The apprentice turned around quick as possible, before glancing over his shoulder, wondering if he should say something else before pouncing away.

He followed his clan mates. As he sheepishly stepped onto the beach taking in the other clans. They were intimidating. His heart beat loudly in his chest. Am I really going to be able to represent Thunderclan well? How come everyone looks so scary? Thoughts of actually having to fight these cats flashed in his mind. They made him even more uneasy It's a gathering nothing goes wrong at gatherings right?
Slugpaw's words broke him free from his crushing anxiety. "Uhh... Ya it's great! He wasn't very convincing but, he also wasn't trying his best. This is her second Gathering right? A little pang of jealousy hurt his heart. He only know realized how much had wanted to experience their first gathering together. Why am I being so selfish He turned his attention back toward her. He realized another thing. "how was your first gathering."Why haven't I asked her before? It's not all about me! I'm a terrible friend!

The waiver in Wheatpaw's voice was unfamiliar to Slugpaw. She tipped her head at him. He was still so young. This all must be a lot of him to take in! She put her tail around his shoulders. "It's ok Wheatpaw! You're doing great!" The mostly white calico purred. She was caught off guard by his next question. She flicked her ear. It hadn't been as great as she had been hoping, but she wasn't about to tell Wheatpaw that! He was shivering like it was leaf-bare! "It was...great! I got to meet a bunch of Riverclan apprentices." She left it there. Wheatpaw was sweet he definitely would be upset if he heard that they were acting weird.
A familiar voice made her turn her head. Shellpaw! He seemed nervous too. Everyone seemed so scared this gathering, was there something she didn't know about? "Aw don't worry about it!" She purred. The apprentice thought she had already said that last time. She must not have made it clear enough, they still seemed so nervous. Was she really that scary? She tried to put on a bright smile. "We're just talking about gatherings you can stay if you want! It's Wheatpaw's first time! Oh this is Wheatpaw by the way. And Wheatpaw this is Shellpaw, he's one of the Riverclan apprentices I met last time." She gestured to each cat with her tail as she introduced them.
Too late a thought occurred to her. This was one of the cats who were being mean last gathering. Should she really be letting him around Wheatpaw? Her younger friend seemed a little fragile. Please Starclan let Shellpaw be nice! She really wanted her friend to have a good time!
Then the leader she hadn't reconized, Stormstar, started talked. Green eyes widened as she looked up at the Riverclan leader. She bowed her head and turned to Shellpaw. Had that many cats really died in such a short time? It seemed so impossible. "I-I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" Slugpaw was for at a complete loss for words.

Seapaw
he/they - 8 moons - Go with the flow
Just about to run away, he was stopped by Slugpaw's response. It was a relief to know she wasn't all too bothered, even if he still felt a bit bad. "Oh! Yes! I'd love to stay!" He mewled, noticing Wheatpaw as the two were introduced - "Oh hi, it's nice to meet you." They smiled to Wheatpaw before adding, "erm,, also, by the way, it's Seapaw now," he didn't really have a cool explanation, - just too many Shellpaws around, "turns out I had a name twin." The paw laughed, anxiousness almost forgotten (he was fickle like that, it seemed).
They gave a head tilt at Slugpaw's question - was he okay? His eyes followed Slugpaw's gaze to the leader's rock, realising that she was staring at Stormstar. "Oh," he thought for a minute, recalling the events of Fadingstar's departure, and later disappearance... "I think..." Hmm how to say it?? Fadingstar's most likely fate certainly wasn't a good thing at all, if only he'd run off to be a kittypet or something... "It's a terrible thing that happened, but RiverClan needed a new leader." They explained. Even if Fadingstar had survived and returned, they doubted that the clan would accept him as leader. And if things had carried on the way they were, with Fadingstar leading the clan, well - he wouldn't find himself apologising to Slugpaw. But now, it was becoming apparent to him - they were the same. Both apprentices, just from different places.
Pinepaw noticed a group of apprentices chatting together. Padding up to them, he smiled and greeted them warmly. "Hey!" the tom purred, sitting down and curling his tail around his paws. "My name's Pinepaw, what are your names?" the tawny furred cat asked.
The cream apprentice bounded into the gathering. He swished his tail, eyes bright. Burningpaw scanned the clearing. He was looking for anyone he had recognized. The tom wrapped his fluffy tail around his hind leg. Maybe one of his clanmates that he actually liked was around! He didn't know if any of his friends had come. And if they hadn't, that'd be okay! He'd just rather they be here. They could just talk to nobody. But he liked talking to cats. So if none of his friends were here, he'd make some.

Cardinalpaw bounded into the gathering. Unfortunately, he had missed the last one. But he was here now! And he was going to make it everyone's problem. And he was gonna make sure at least someone knew it. Without causing a scene, of course. He just wanted to be a menace quietly. The russet apprentice eyed some of the other cats with a Judgemental™ gaze. He wasn't going to sit down. He had yet to find a target, of course.

Daffodilpaw felt like she could breathe easier. He understands! She nodded, lifting her chin high with pride. “Yep! But I’m not surprised you’ve heard of me!” She meowed, puffing her chest out. “I’m going to be the fastest cat in all of WindClan after all!” That was one of her signature lines, so she knew it wouldn’t be strange if a clanmate heard her say that. She said that to…well she said that to everycat. Huh. Maybe I need a new intro…
Anyway. She shook it off easily. Who cares if she said that to everycat? It was how she honestly felt! And she trained hard for that title! “Everycat is going to know about me someday!” She purred, a little boastfully. She wasn’t actually full of herself, but she was nothing if not confident and optimistic. She firmly believed that if she trained hard, she’d be the fastest runner, and best hunter. And to that end, she worked hard everyday.
There was an uneasy feeling along her spine…she felt eyes on her. Daffodilpaw tried to ignore the feeling, this was a Gathering after all so there were a lot of eyes around here. But this felt…targeted. I think we’re being watched. Anxiety prickled at her paws. No matter how much she tried to convince herself that she wasn’t doing anything wrong, she felt like a kit who had been caught sneaking out. She didn’t show it outwardly, though cats that knew her well enough might recognize the ever-so-slight prickling in her pelt at the sensation of being watched.
Nightshadow purred at Daffodilpaw. She was the same as ever. "Well, Daffodilpaw I hope to not face you in battle." he purred with a smile. She was as bubbly as ever.
"I bet you would defeat me easily." he laughed, his ears twitched backward's as he heard his clanmates and other clans talk all around him. He felt like someone was watching him, his gaze shifted away from Daffodilpaw and around the clearing, that's when he spotted her. A brown she-cat with wide owl like eyes and a scar that missed her left eye. "Who's that?" he asked with a tilt of his head. "Your mentor?"
____
Owlscreech looked at Nightshadow then Daffodilpaw before turning her gaze away and on Riftpaw and Rainpaw.
Splitpaw yawned as she sat by herself away from everyone. Her gaze took in all the cats, like she usually does. From their pelts, to their eyes and to their personalities. Her gaze then moved away from all the other cats and started to look for Burnedpaw.
As she looked her eyes landed on Cricketpaw who was talking to a cat..But where was Burnedpaw? she thought with a sigh.
Floodsight ✦ RiverClan | 22 moons | Mind Reader ; Beefed Up T3 ; empty slot
The silver she-cat with a gentle frame and long flowing tail followed behind her clanmates on their journey towards the Seastone. Another Gathering so soon...it felt like just yesterday they've just returned. Yet an entire moon had already past. They've done so so much the last moon under Stormstar's command and the chaotic season had finally past, leaving a new reign of peaceful days.
She'd made her way towards the Seastone and sat much closer to the inner ring this time around. Her dim blue eyes scanned the sea of cats and it seems ShadowClan had arrived already, though she could smell that from a mile away.

Palepaw ◆ ShadowClan | 7 moons | [55/100]
The pale calico kitten hopped and hummed along the way towards the Seastone, wobbling behind his clanmates as he stared around in awe. It was his second time here but the sand and sea were still new and worthy for exploration in his eyes. Everything was wonderful and beaches of RiverClan was so extremely cool. A little part of him wants to run of into the other clans territory and dip his paws in the endless sea.
The little kitten paced around the Seastone, awaiting for WindClan to arrive. He'd brought something for Lichenpaw...or whatever she'll be called now. Palepaw was more than curious to know her warrior name and hopefully he'll be able to give her this pretty pebble he'd found during a scavenger hunt.

Whisperinghive
A 12-16 moon old tom with marigold-orange fur, dull green eyes, and a thin scar running from below his left eye down his muzzle to his nose. Purrks: Killer Aptitude T1 [ACTIVE] Survival Instincts[ACTIVE] Just a Scratch [ACTIVE]
Whisperinghive didn't remember the last time he went to a gathering. It probably wasn't that long ago, but his roleplayer just doesn't remember. The orange tom glanced at Twilightstar, who was sitting with Crowtooth at the spot where deputies did. Huh? Ohhhh, she was probably still in pain and exhausted from the birth of her kits. And the fires were probably stressing her out. Whisperinghive then weaved around the growing crowd of cats at the beach, inhaling and exhaling to calm himself whenever someone got too close or touched him.
The Windclan warrior eventually found a... sort of empty spot next to a- A stinking fish. Stars fox dung. Fine. At least they weren't that Redwater cat. Whisperinghive huffed and sat next to the Riverclan warrior, wrapping his tail tightly around his paws so his fur didn't go anywhere near the fish next to him and infect him with that horrid smell.
- Wolfpaw -
- He/Him - 8 Moons - ThunderClan Medicine Cat -
- A large dark brown tabby tom with green eyes and a missing hind leg -
Cobwebfern - that was the other tripod medic name, apparently. Wolfpaw shot her a nervous smile. It seemed Berrypaw spoke up - or rather Berryshine now. "Congrats," he murmured, shuffling his front paws. He turned over to face ShadowClan's medics as Rookfire spoke up. It seems both the ShadowClan medics were getting a spot on wolf's 'I-would-yeet-them-if-i-could' list. "Shut your mouth, I am perfectly capable of this role, my age does not matter," he hissed through gritted teeth. "Like mentor like apprentice, it seems," he muttered, shooting a glare to Mossfreckle.
Wolfpaw jumped slightly at Cobwebfern's sudden hiss. 'You?' what was that supposed to mean? green hues flickered back and forth between the two - what the hell was the deal? His ears pinned against his head as he scooted backwards before awkwardly sitting up (stars he hated sitting, it was so hard for no reason!) and puffing out his fur. He did not like this - not one bit. He turned his head to face the deputy rock as the WindClan leader, Twilightstar, joined her deputy up there. Strange, but okay. He just hoped that Lightningstorm and Rabbitpaw would arrive soon, it was not nice being inbewteen some unknown conflict between the other clan's medicine cat apprentices.
Once twilightstar arrived, Stormstar jumped right into reports. Most of them went in one ear and out the other, and wolfpaw flinched as the leader announced the deaths from the three v one. He wasn't there for it, but he heard about it. Fadingstar disappearing was odd, but it wasn't his place to prod. He shot a glance over to the RiverClan deputy - Owltalon. Ok, she was scary. Why were so many of the high ranks scary!? Wolfpaw turned back to the medicine cats, just hoping the tense situation wouldn't escalate.
