CONGRATS ON A WHOLE YEAR OF DUSTDEVILCLAN!!! I wish I had the energy to join the ych sobs but happy birthday anyway :3
How do the cats of the clan in general respond to Blackstripe? He's an odd one for sure and voi doesn't seem to shy away from being voi's authentic self LOL
Thank you for ask Direclan! And thanks for the congratulations! :]
Honestly, it really depends on the cat. Like, Sheriff Crestedstar, Sootclover, Morelgleam, Irisfreckle, Morningfur, Harrierpaw, Falconpaw, and Fluffypaw don't really care. Their used how strange Blackstripe is.
Sheriff Crestedstar does find Blackstripe unnerving though. He can't help but search for comfort in voi's presence though. Blackstripe is a very grounding, and cares for all his clanmates deeply.
Specklesnarl finds Blackstripe unnerving like Sheriff Crestedstar, but respects his job as the clan's healer.
Minkmoss likes Blackstripe quite a bit. He considers them both decent buddies... but Minkmoss doesn't enjoy how devoted voi is to Starclan. Blind faith is never a good thing in Minkmoss's opinion, especially to a bunch of dead cats.
Hawkleaf ADORED Blackstripe. Part of Hawkleaf wished Blackstripe let him become a healer apprentice. Still, even when she trained as a warrior, Blackstripe would teach Hawkleaf about herbs and Starclan.
Deputy Eaglepatch used to dislike Blackstripe. Voi was always... distant to everyone. He was hard to talk to, but voi was always a good healer. Even after Rattail's death. Nowadays, Eaglepatch still respects Blackstripe for voi's role in the clan. She even finds Blackstripe a bit... endearing, when he wasn't acting so odd. She sees Blackstripe as a very good friend. The life of a healer is a lonely one, but Eaglepatch makes it a bit easier.
Owlblink used to be really intimidated by Blackstripe when she was a young kit. But that feeling faded pretty quickly as she became an apprentice. Blackstripe taught Owlblink how to make cave paintings and make paint out of berries and herbs. She enjoys voi's company.
Thank you for the ask again! It was a really fun to answer :]
