hiding in plain sight

My baby. I love how soft yet confident she was. And her relationship with Birchfall is actually the best thing that happened to me. Such a cutie

Design Notes:

- She’s basically a taller, leggier version of her dad. However, she also has: her mom’s nose/color, ear tufts, eyes, and height. Kinda? Shes taller than her dad(who’s quite short), but not as tall as her mom (who’s an absolute beast in terms of height). So it evens out and makes her slightly shorted than average.

- She has a folded dog-like ear (from Brightheart kinda), that she passed on to Dovewing.

- Her tail, ear tufts, chest fur and cheek fur are wing-shaped

- Slightly on par with the last note, I was originally gonna make the tips of her hair & her lower mouth be reddish orange in color, so that she would look like a (mother) hen as she grew older, but I really like the soft monochrome look she has now so I kept it. Will def draw an alr design later

Headcannons:

• Cares deeply for both of her kits, and when she discovered that Dovewing had these powers that overstimulated her, and that Ivypool was groomed into the dark forest, she was devastated. She did all that she can to comfort and support the two, and she felt like it was her fault that she didn’t notice anything was wrong. This was strengthened much further when Dovewing left for ShadowClan, and she felt like she was responsible for driving her family away.

• On that same note, that was the time where White’s & Birch’s relationship was at its worst, because she felt like Birch didn’t do enough to protect Ivy, and she was just absolutely inconsolable during the aftermath of the great battle due to all the death & Dove leaving.

It was her parents who helped console & support her during this, and seeing the forest recover and grow after all the damage. She figured that if all the prey and plants can come back and heal then so could she. So she and Birch had a long conversation abt how she felt & abt the great battle and all about what’s been going on these past few moons. Eventually, Birch apologizes for not being truthful & protecting Ivy, and White acknowledges she could’ve went abt things a little better. So they see what they did wrong & right and they learn from it, promising to come to one another whenever they doubt each other so that they can talk their way through it, just like now.

From there they have mostly no problems (Though White still grieves for Dove & sometimes Ivy, but Birch and her parent help), and they remain the second cutest & most healthiest couple behind SorrelBracken. The end

• When Dove & Ivy were young, she would reward them by decorating their nests with matching flowers (I’ll think of the specific kind later). It cringed them out when they were young, yet later on in life Dove and Ivy would still wear them once in a while, if only to remember their mama.
