Yellowstone Asks

It’s a separate blog for the roleplay @yellowstonewarriors ! A bunch of the members from the roleplay are admins of this blog, and it’s where people, in/out of the roleplay, can ask questions about the characters people have in Yellowstonewarriors! (There is a list of the characters you can send stuff for in one of the links, I think)While those outside of the roleplay may not know everything about what’s going on about all the characters, they are welcome to send in questions to learn more about a character! We do our best to answer in character, with or without art!But for the most part, this blog is just something fun some of the roleplay members wanted to have, to talk a bit more about their characters!

“I don’t really know how to feel about them. I don’t even know them all that well, just that they hide in tunnels and that my dad doesn’t like them. Plus some other stuff but I keep my secrets!”

“I don’t wish I did anything differently. The Moonlands cats had the power to hurt living cats, and they threatened my kits. I wish that some cats had reacteddifferently, namely Wheatkit and Slugkit, but if I could go back and do it again, I would. I’d do anything to protect them, even now. I only wish I would have been able to protect Robinsong...”

“I... Don’t know. I used to love my family more than anything. But...”

“I’m glad mama’s gone. She was a bad cat. I don’t care what others say.”

“I still love my dad, that’ll never change...”

“Pigeonpaw is okay, I guess... We don’t talk much...”

“’Cause it’s ‘nother way t’serve t’clan. S’way t’survive. Always known little “healin’”: stoppin’ bleedin’, clearin’ breathin’... Necessary. Can’t expect medicine cat at paw. An’ it was good thing I had learned, ‘cause when we were captive,  few medicine cats around; Elkclan had lost all of theirs and we doubted’d see em again.

While was there, only way t’survive was t’avoid focusin’ on ‘ow horrifyin’ t'was. Needed different focus. Found it in protectin’ and tendin’ t’as many cats as possible, regardless of clan. Liked that. Gave me worth an’ purpose when those who’d rule us wanted us t’have no worth or purpose but amusin’ em.

Then I felt desire t’be medicine cat. T’learn how they used herbs t’do so much good. Rowancloud of Hawkclan helped t’save Whiterain, m’friend, who's now our deputy. I’d done everything I could t’help Whiterain, but m’power was limited. If I wanted t’truly be able t’save and tend t’my clanmates, I needed more power.

An’ durin’ the battle, I defended those least-able t’fight back. I earned serious wounds for it, ‘cross m’throat and m’eye. Lost m’vision, an’ nearly lost m’voice completely. Though m’voice is returnin’,  m’vision never improved; it worsens. Born deaf in m’right ear already, this makes much more difficult to hunt, which was before m’greatest skill and contribution to the clan.

One most important things t’understand, as warrior, is accidents an’ injuries happen. Y’can’t decide what they’ll do t’you, but y’can choose whether y’let em keep you down. Don’t force y’t’be certain thing. May make things harder, but in clan, endless roles must be filled every day, an’ we all have our place in em. S’not destiny, but common sense. We’re family, which means we treat each other and work together like family.

Couldn’t hunt as well, but could still help ‘round camp wi’out any trouble. Was  irritatin’ no-one runderstood me well for long time, guess never considered ‘portant t’sign ‘less had a deaf blood-relation. But I worked, but wasn’t makin’ m’self happy. Wanted t’do more for m’clan. 

S’approached Scorchedheart and Hollowstone, an’ asked if they’d be willin’ to take me on as medicine cat apprentice, despite my age. They agreed, an’ after we talked it over wi’ Aspenstar, she gave her approval as well.

“I’m proud of them all! Silvergrass is deputy of Troutclan now, Flamepaw’s an apprentice, Eagletalon has a mate and an apprentice, and Hollowstone is a full medicine cat now! Everyone’s grown up!”

“...”

“I just...”

“Ohoh, now let me tell you something. Toadpaw– or Toadstool, as I so lovingly deemed her, probably was the funniest little apprentice Bearclan had ever known. But she was obedient to a fault. A fault, only because Milkstar thought it was a good idea to give me an apprentice. Toadpaw and I went everwhere together, did everything together. And I like to think that I had been one of the most reckless young warriors of the clan at the time– so you see what trouble that could have gotten us into. Toadpaw was so desperate to prove herself that I almost felt sorry for the little tike, but she would have followed me to the grave if she could.”

“In fact– one time I told her that I would be braver than her to put a spider in Milkstar’s fur. So she marched her stubby little legs right out of camp and found a spider outside. She brought it back in, somehow managed to sneak it right onto Milkstar’s head while the leader napped– and I remember the scream Milkstar let out. Poor thing nearly lost a life that day from the scare….”

It’s Petals Dappled On The Ground now. Petal Dapple preferred. Though, Petalsnarl will still get a response. Hm… Well, my kits have always been quite active and amusing. I doubt they ever will cease to be.

As any of my tribemates will remember, all of my kits were incredibly active at a young age; except for Cricket Leaf. My lil bug was much happier curled up sleeping with me. When he was awake, he did get in plenty of trouble with his siblings, of course- he was just a lot sleepier than the rest.

It wasn’t rare for me to wake up to find some of my kits missing. Usually, it would just be one or two, and while of course, I would panic, I could generally get another cat to find them quite easily while I kept my eye on my remaining kittens.

One time, however, Night Wings, Breeze Wave, and Flower Light all managed to go on an adventure together. When I woke up, I realized Cricket Leaf had fallen asleep on me! So, I carefully stood, then ran off, calling for his siblings. I managed to find all of them and bring them all back to the nest, and their brother never even woke up.
