[RiverClan] the case of the kit who refused to eat.

[Wingnettle]

TW: Eating disorder, ptsd



Starrykit is currently 1 moon old, meaning right now is the time for... weaning! This little kit who came from the outskirts with her sister had a hard time right before joining Riverclan, because of a violent fight exploded between their parents. Seeing her mother wounded left Starrykit with a sour taste for blood, which is why she can't stand seeing injured cats or smelling their blood. It's also the reason Starrykit is insisting on drinking milk even after her sister ( @Estelle ) has started eating real prey. It's hard for her to even look at morsels of food torn apart, but she can't drink milk forever! The queen who currently feeds her, Sweetsap ( @SeonghwasBunnyEars ) needs to push her beyond her comfort zone and grow up like other kits do. She needs the nutrients that only meat can give her. How will she cope?

I need a group of kits who will interact with Starrykit (and hopefully her sister, too) and address this odd behavior of hers. How? That's your choice. You can be understanding and kind, curious and ask all the questions you want, or even bully her for her strange choice.

In the end, the matter will reveal itself more serious than it seemed because Starrykit will refuse to eat any land prey the other cats give her. A few warriors will notice this and worry, so they'll go and tell Mistyshard. She'll think about this for a bit and then come up with a solution: eating only fish, shellfish, and water prey since they don't bleed like land prey do. This'll do the trick!

The first part of this plot can be done easily. Give me some kits and some adult warriors.
@/Estelle I hope you'll be okay with participating in this plot!
@starry you too! Starrykit will need Mistyshard a lot!

Form

- Name: Springkit
- Rank: Kit
- Role: one of the kits
- More ideas: I think it could start with Springkit being excited to make a few friends and deciding to go share a piece of prey with them bc he has understood that to be something you do when getting to know someone, but then be worried (and a bit hurt) when Starry refuses it. He is very empathetic tho so once he finds out that the reason wasn't him it'll be all good

heads up! riverclan has a river that runs alongside the camp, as stated in the first page of the temporary camp thread

- Name: Shellkit
- Rank: Kit (Age like 1 moon also)
- Role: friend that helps!
- More ideas: (optional) he tries to befriend her and offered her some prey but got concerned when she didn't want to eat it. he would want to try and help her, telling her to go to the medicine den or something. perhaps he got a leaf wrap and snuck bits of fish into it. most likely she doesn't notice and likes it, and he keeps doing it until he reveals that she was eating fish the whole time, and her reaction is up to you!
- Mention me @Wingnettle

NAME: Salamanderkit
RANK: Kit
ROLE: Curious & pushy element!
MORE IDEAS: She'd catch on after watching other kits try and fail to entice Starrykit with their own prey. I could see Salamanderkit approaching this with the mindset that Starrykit's 'being a big ol' baby'/'refusing to grow up', which is where her light bullying would come from. She'd probably do things that she thinks are helping (messily eating bits of land prey nearby, hitting Starrykit with the annoying li'l 'you suuuuuure you don't want some??? ;}') only to get frustrated when this doesn't Magically Cure Starry Immediately. She'd have a lot of questions about why this poor kit won't do what Salamander thinks she should do.

If Salamanderkit ever learned the source of Starrykit's aversion she'd be mortified about acting this way & Starrykit would get a genuine apology for the teasing—if not, though, she might just continue under the assumption that Starry's only being picky and strange.

@Wingnettle

I like it! Starrykit won't be aware for a LONG time about the source of her problem, so Salamanderkit won't know it either! I'm gonna wait for a third applicant and then we can set up the rp!
