Character of the Month (September 2021)

[spade]

Character Name [mention user]: Tumblepaw [ @Papaya ]
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: RiverClan
Why should this character be featured?: He is young but has mentally been through quiet a bit - yet, he still perseveres. Facing challenging battles of whether to leave the only home he's ever known or stay at the risk of being discarded, Tumblepaw handles all of it in a calm, quiet manner. His dismay at his situation is heartbreaking to read, and makes you want to continuously root for him. He's a strong character with great potential for development.

Character Name [mention user]: Cinderpaw [ @littlelove ]
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: ThunderClan
Why should this character be featured?: She is such an outspoken little lass. Always having a quick retort to come back with, and her constant rivalry with her brother Bumblekit/paw make her an absolute pleasure to read. She is rather feisty and isn't afraid to speak her mind or challenge those much older than her. Though she is young, I am thrilled to see where her development goes!

Character Name [mention user]: Wolffang ( @TheNyanCatMinecart )
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: WindClan
Why should this character be featured?: Nyan has a way of setting their characters up in the beginning with qualities where you can't tell if they're "good" or "bad." Wolffang is in the limelight, a guy with a lot of growing to do but a lot of growth he's already had. I love to hear about him (along with Nyan's other characters) because this isn't a story about a cat who's been made for his role, or some cliche. He feels real, and his struggles to better himself are relatable. He was never perfect, and he isn't trying to be now. He's just trying to learn. And I appreciate that a lot in a character.

Character Name [mention user]: Grimhound [ @spade ]
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: Shadowclan
Why should this character be featured?: Grimhound is a really fun character to interact with. He does a great job teaching my app Ravenpaw how to be a nutcase and secondary, how to be a warrior of Shadowclan. His personality is interesting and fun to read about, and I enjoy his character and the way @/spade rps him.

Character Name [mention user]: Morningpaw (@littlelove)
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: RiverClan
Why should this character be featured?:

Where do I start. Listen. Morning has been an absolute delight to read, especially over the past couple months of RiverClan morality being 'stretched'. She's optimistic and kind and binds herself to these virtues (at the totally low cost of mental health!) Starting with her brother Smokepaw's disappearance, then skipping up to the tension between RiverClan and ThunderClan, Quietclaw's murder, the raid (where she acted as assistant medic to stay consistent to pacifist beliefs) -- Morning has been bottling everything inside. As her own hurts build she's been acting as a support system for other cats flailing on their own crumbling foundations, being strong for them while inwardly amassing resentment for Kestrelstar and his bloody choices. I'm SO excited to see where Morningpaw's character goes! Especially anticipating the moment everything suppressed inevitably bursts out. Littlelove writes her so wonderfully and I fully recommend rping with or following along Morning's story!

Character Name: Mistypaw [ @Starry ]
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: RiverClan
Why should this character be featured?:

FIRST OFF this adorable little ray of sunshine has grown so much in her character. I've been reading her rp's since the kit stage, and over time it's been absolutely amazing and heartbreaking in equal measure seeing her acclimate to the current bloody times. Mistypaw is logical but not so much so that it takes away from her empathy. She's kindhearted, young and dealing with a drastic loss of innocence, having just discovered those close to her or that she admired violated the morals she thought they held; this apprentice used to look up to her leader, her mentor, and I'm sure others, but now seems to have encountered a crisis in faith. Watching Mistypaw confront the sins of her clan (mainly starting with Quietclaw) has been a real compelling journey. Starry writes Misty beautifully and tears my heart out with just about each and every post! I'm eager to see where this gem of a character ends up when all is said and done, whether her morals will come out stronger or whether she'll have to adjust them.

Character Name [mention user]:Frogfang ( @feather lily )
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: Shadowclan
Why should this character be featured?: Oh goodness, Frog is simply chaos. he's all over the place and never ever gets boring. He's always medaling with some cat and is always wreaking havoc.

Character Name [mention user]: Maplepaw ( @littlelove )
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: ShadowClan
Why should this character be featured?: Maplepaw is such a unique character, with a very refreshing perspective on life. Not many, especially in ShadowClan, would like to fade into history and remain unknown. She has a "that one cool friend" vibe to her, and is incredibly realistic yet manages to give you a narrative catharsis and is rather likable. Little truly does a wonderful job of writing this intriguing (although she might not enjoy being called that) cat.

Character Name [mention user]: Stormtalon ( @Ziera )
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: Riverclan
Why should this character be featured?: Oml I love himmmmm. He is so kind to my character Sunpaw and he’s just so well developed. He feels like a real person at this point.

Character Name: Orchidmoon [ @Naiad ]
Character Faction: SHC
Why should this character be featured?:
Where do I begin?? Orchidmoon interests me so much, to be honest, she kind of reminds me of Scarlett O’Hara from Gone With The Wind just by how unique and interesting she is! I love stalking Naiad’s roleplays with her!

Character Name [mention user]: Dogbark @/Willowfern
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: ThunderClan
Why should this character be featured?: Dogbark is literally the most amazing boy, he is snarky but also loyal, and he is so sweet and supportive of Aspen, he's like a grandpa. Willow role-plays him so beautifully, he's gruff but deep down, you can tell how much he cares. He is well developed and hilarious to read, but he sticks with those he loves through thick and thin. Willow has created a beautiful piece of art, and I look forward to more interactions and posts with him in the future
