Robinfleck | 27 | Nervous Paranoid They/Them (Any) | Sapphic

Robin has grown incredibly paranoid after the death of their mother. At the time of disposing of the body, they didn't know what Takers were, and due to the stress of the situation, they actually never thought about how she died.

Dewbat told them what Takers were and how they functioned. Ever since then, they've been suspicious of everyone older in Brindleclan.

They used to have a good relationship with their dad, Milkweedstar, but it has started to deteriorate over the last few moons.

Sadly, they've been getting close to Storm, even considering him a close friend. Robin truly has no idea that Storm is a Taker.

Robinfleck often goes to the Rift and stares into the darkness of it, Dewbat has caught them doing it enough times that he will come by to check every night to make sure Robin is okay.

They genuinely do not know how to kill the Takers, but they have started to... experiment with it. Not that it helps, because they don't know who's a Taker and who's not.

Valleyfrost | 13 | Cold She/Her | ???

Valley has incredible strength, this being a Gift she was born with.

She not only has the strength equal to a Rottweiler but the body mass too. Meaning she's not only gonna pummel whoever she fights, she isn't exactly easy to push around by a single cat.

She's also an unusually fast runner, so very much a fast and hard hitter.

She's a second born of Soot’s kits and often feels like the most overlooked. With Moth being the very clear favourite and Crane being the very opposite, which is a form of attention on its own.

Valley's very close to her siblings, with a tentative relationship to her Apa, but a distant (though still positive) relationships to Silk and Dew.

She looks the most like her mother, inheriting very little from the Chasing bloodline.

She's loud and abrasive around her family, but she clamps up pretty consistently when interacting with strangers, simply fixing them a nasty stare when possible.

Valley is very observant and has been piecing together clues to the larger picture faster than the others have. Doesn't mean she knows anything yet.

Additionally, do you think Squirrel and/or Spring may inherit Storm's draw towards the Rift? Which could lead them to potentially encounter each other (or Takers in the other's body)?

Squirrelpaw | 10 | Adventurous • Springpaw | 10 | Lonesome (Playful) He/Him | Aroace • She/Her | Sapphic

Squirrel:

He has an endless supply of energy most of the time.

Very headstrong, and simply will not listen to authority, even his dad.

He has a pull similar to what Storm did, however it pulls him as far away from the Rift as possible.

He hates being in the clan, and has thought about running away often.

Squirrel loves his sister but the love only goes so far, he wouldn’t put himself in danger to keep her safe.

He has only gone to one apprentice lesson, since then he’s ditched his mentor every time. He’s convinced he can learn on his own.

Spring:

Spring, like her brother, has a lot of energy. However, it’s mostly channeled into learning or gathering herbs.

She wanted to be a healer for the simple purpose that she is allowed to cross border lines without consequence, giving her more room to scout for Storm.

Given that her passion doesn’t lay in healing she has a very hard time actually retaining anything she learns, leaving her stressed as she uses hours trying to quiz herself.

She’s not close to her dad, Gentlefruit, nor to her brother. She hopes that Stormpelt could be who she takes after, and maybe, if she found him, she wouldn’t feel so lonesome anymore.

She has a massive fear of heights, meaning she keeps away from the Rift as much as possible. Except for healer gatherings, you will never see her go near them.

Mothchirp | 13 | Loving He/Him | ???

Moth is Sootsnows favorite out of the triplets, this is something all three of them know about. His sisters don't hate him for it, they know Moth isn't exactly happy about it either.

Moth is a little shit to his family, it's his way of showing love- along with doing favors for them, which is why he helps out Silkglide with their duties often.

Unlike his sisters, Moth doesn't have a Gift, not as such anyway. But he is more sensitive to changes than a normal cat would be, so he's more aware if someone or something is watching him.

He's also very queasy, and can't stand sticky feelings or sounds. He will get sick if he sees too much blood or gore. His family often drains his prey of blood before he eats it.

He hates clan life, he'd be much better off as a kittypet, but he doesn't know what that is… Not that he can leave anyway.

Moth is pretty okay friends with a lot of the cats he sees across the Rift. And just like his sisters he sneaks out alone, but he just does it to socialise.

Definitely the one most at risk of being Taken.

Despite being well-trained by Dewbat, Moth forgets how to fight. He’s great at teaching combat, but he can’t actually fight himself.

He battles a lot with self-worth, he doesn’t feel like he is anything worthwhile, much less a contributing member of his family. 

Quiver | 50m | Childish She/Her | Queer

Quiver was adopted into Brindleclan at 0m, along with her brother Deep (current deputy of the Clan).

They also have another brother, Light, who had been separated from his siblings and later joined long after Quiver left.

She was the Healer apprentice, but ran away after Deep's mate (disgraced former Clancat) threaded to hurt her family if she didn't leave. (so that he could take her place, which never happened.)

Quiver found her way into Chasingclan territory at 12m old, she has tried to leave but has yet to succeed.

Quiver was never given a fullname, she often thinks about what it would have been.

She's very lonely, having to spend moons upon moons running from Takers and trying to survive in The Rift. Soot was the first living cat she'd met in a year, and she took a lot of solace in that.

Storm and Quiver have become very codependent.

She's 14m older than Soot and Silk.
