#lapwingstar

They're friendly, but they're not quite friends. They get along well enough and they trust each other, but they wouldn't be each other's first choice as someone to casually hang out with. They were good friends as kits and for a while into apprenticeship, but they eventually grew apart. Lapwing was dealing with the death of his father, and being an Advisor is a pretty isolating position.

Lapwing - Given in hopes he would be wise and think ahead

Blessed by Lady Windrunner

Lapwingstar doesn’t show off his Blessing very much nowadays, on account of his age and all the things he has to do as leader.  In his youth, though, he was the fastest cat around.  No one could catch up to him when he went for a run.

Received lives for the courage to do what's right, a mother's love, the strength to act, a sense of adventure, wise judgement, honouring old traditions, patience, upholding the warrior code, and forgiveness.

no, the relationship was about the same. lapwing just... really idolized his dad post-cave in, sort of putting him on this untouchable pedestal. and he still loved his dad a whole lot when sandgorse was alive, they just didn't see eye-to-eye on... anything, really.

lapwingstar's relationship with his mother is... complicated. he hasn't disowned her, so her name isn't crossed out, but he doesn't really see her as his mom, either. she's always been really distant with him, just sort of doing the bare minimum to take care of him and nothing beyond that. he struggled a lot with jealousy upon seeing how palebird treated his half-siblings so much better- how she actually took time for them and seemed to care for them in a way she never did for him. he's not... over it, not really, but he has come to accept why she behaved the way she did.

to expand on why she behaved that way- post-partum depression sucks ass, and she lost a whole child. she honestly thought she was gonna lose lapwingstar as well. with all that combined, she just... could never make herself show that kind of love for him. and after a certain point, she just didn't see the point in trying to reconnect.
