Sibling: Strawberry
Name: Orchidblossom
Personality: 
 |Protective| |Confident| |Sharp|   
 |Sassy| Prideful |   
 |Judgmental| |Snobbish| |Manipulative|   

• Despite all of Orchidblosooms's faults, she is overtly protective of her family. She could honestly care less about the rest of the Kingdom and the other Kingdoms, but if anyone chooses to mess with her family? Oh, you better watch out. As cliche as it sounds, she is truly the only one who is allowed to criticize her siblings. The only one. If she catches anyone else victimizing them, she will give you all fifteen pounds of her fury.
  
• This she-cat is so young, yet she already has loads of confidence. She is gorgeous and she knows it. In everything she does, she is always confident that she can complete it with grace and perfection. This can often get her in trouble, as she is simply too inexperienced to do some things properly, despite how much she believes she can. Also, no matter what anyone has to say about her, she never allows herself to give in to mean comments. If anyone tells her she's spoiled or a snob, she simply agrees and moves on. Confidence personified.
  
• Orchidblossom is an extremely intelligent cat. She can construct and deconstruct social situations and their consequences in her head scarily fast. She is also very logical and practical, and uses this logical process to belittle and make others look stupid. She likes to lord this intelligence over others and has no mercy when it comes to blind stupidity, especially if it comes from her siblings. After all, if they sound dumb, then people will think she sounds dumb!
  
• Orchidblossom is very prideful and this can sometimes cloud her reasoning. She honestly believes she is the best Keeper Briar Hollow has ever seen, and gets extremely offended when others tell her otherwise. She honestly is in reality, very good at her job and is ranked extremely high up in that aspect. But she is yet very young, and thus at a disadvantage. Orchidblossom is also proud of her apparent striking beauty and enchaning visage, which she uses to her advantage.
  
• As central to her character as being beautiful is, Orchidblossom's sassiness is unrivaled. She is no stranger to sassing superiors when given orders, or when she is commanded to perform an unsavory duty. 
  
• Orchidblossom is a cat who depends on her looks to garner favor with others, so she has learned to judge others based on their looks as well. She will judge you based on the state of your fur, how clean your teeth are, your scent, the way you speak, anything at all is fair game to this she-cat. If anything is dis-satisfactory, she will not hesitate to point it out and tear that cat down. 
  
• Hand in hand with her judgmental aspect, Orchidblossom can be a bit of a snob. She insists on keeping her pelt as pristine as possible, with no dirt on it and not a single hair out of place. If she considers you beneath her, she will let you know and will not have mercy. She truly believes she deserves respect and adoration from her siblings. Possibly, working in her gardens is the only place she will allow dirt and muck to besmirch her pelt--though she does not let just anyone see this side of her.
  
• Orchidblossom has learned how to combine her fetching good looks and her sharp intelligence into a perfect manipulation machine. She knows just what to do to make sure she gets what she wants, and is very rarely caught if she doesn't want to be. She is young, but she can twist cats in the most disturbing ways with only her words and her appearance. 
  

• Orchidblossom likely has a lot of pride in her gardens, and seeks out rare and difficult to find plants in order to add to her impressive collection. She spends the majority of her time tending to her gardens, usually by her lonesome (as she prefers to work), because her ambitious projects/plants often require intensive care and thought. Her gardens are likely considered the most beautiful and most frequented of the Keepers, however....
• Her gardens are likely also considered the most useless. I imagine Orchidblossom is incredibly gifted at figuring out how best to tend the most challenging plants, but she gears all this energy into growing flowers that are beautiful and unique--it is very rare for her to grow food-oriented crops, nor any plants that might hold too much use for the Kingdom. She instead diverts her energies into raising up gorgeous blooms and ferns, the likes of which many have not yet seen. Unfortunately, the reason why many haven't seen them yet is because pretty blooms often do not hold any practical use. But this doesn't seem to phase Orchidblossom. She is hellbent on continuing to work on her gardens. They are what she considers to be her art form--the way she expresses herself to the Kingdom. Even if her gardens are the most useless ones, she doesn't care. She wants to share beauty with the world--even dangerous or harmful beauty. 
• Orchidblossom likely also has a wealth of poisonous flowers in her gardens. Often the most gorgeous petals of the floral world are the most deadly. And this thought delights and invigorates Orchidblossom! Not only are these flowers to a detriment to Briar Hollow's welfare, but Orchidblossom is also scarily good at raising them up. Her poison gardens are likely the ones furthest from the nursery and prying eyes--she would hate to harm the youth of Briar Hollow, but outright refuses to stop growing her deadly harvest. Who's to say if these blooms might not serve a purpose for the future of Briar Hollow? That poison might not find its way into its culture, into its fighting strategies.... Orchidblossom certainly isn't entirely against it. 
• I imagine Orchidblossom is often at odds with her siblings, simply because of her vain and eccentric nature. She is not, by any means, a normal personality, but she loves her siblings all the same. She definitely thinks she is the star of the show, and is the crown jewel of their family. She likely fusses and preens/grooms her siblings to an excessive degree, and obsesses over appearances. After all, their appearance reflects on her! And she cannot have anyone thinking low of her or her family--it simply isn't done. Any harsh or even perceived slights against her or her family are met with an unbridled rage that seems physically incapable of coming from such a dainty, pretty thing such as Orchidblossom. She is the only one allowed to criticize her family, and no one else. 
• I can see some future plots unfolding with her regarding her ego and her propensity to clutch at her pretty, useless gardens--and her dangerous ones. She likely could cause a lot of drama within the sibling group when it comes to personality clashes and general gossip between them.

Sibling: Piebald

Name: Goatcry
Name Meaning: 
       Goat- For her brown and white pelt, similar to that of a Goat
       Cry- For her playful and outspoken nature

Personality: Constant | Sociable | Daring Independent | Stubborn :bulletyellow Insecure | Frivolous | Private 
     Goatcry is wellknown for her positive traits. Mostly because it's impossible to not know her. Goatcry will approach anyone and strike up conversation without hesitation. She likes to talk with others and interact- and she likes to make friends. She's very invested in such, and many note it down as her cosntant. Goatcry is someone you can depend on- someone who will always be there if you need a friend to play with or someone to depend on. Even if she's more of a playfuls spirit, Goatcry is not known for letting people down when they need her. She's also incredibly daring. She's a risk taker- and perhaps enjoys the rush more than she really should.

    She's independent, and that's something that no one can take away from her. Goatcry likes to do things herself- not relying on anyone else when she does so. She doesn't often ask for favors, even when she probably should. She can also take personal offense if you do something for her. It can easily deveop into an actual arbgument if pushed because Goatcry is not known for backing down. She's stubborn in both the best and worst ways, and once she has her mind set good luck on changing it.

    But there are parts of Goatcry that nobody sees. Like her insecurities. She's afraid that she's not good enough, that she'll never measure up to her other sisters. She's the middle child and often feels as if she's the most easily forgotten. Not that she'll ever tell anyone that. She keeps her insecurities under a tight lock, bottling them up so that nobody else sees them. She doesn't want any of her siblings to feel bad for her own selfish feelings, as she doesn't believe it's their fault. She doesn't want to hurt them. Instead Goatcry covers it up with a carefree attitude. She acts laidback and joking so that nobody will realize her pain.

Plans for them: Alright let's get to praddling. I'm? Super unsure what rank i'm going to go for her tbh. I'm leaning towards Keeper or Woodsmith just because Scorchedsun technically is a warden- but idk if i'm going to be able to make my choice until we (the admin team, that is) finish up writing the new kingdom docs so i can work with confirmed/accurate information of the ranks!

As for other plans? Hmm. Well I don't think i want to address her insecurities anytime soon. Just because it's a major flaw and honestly isn't likely something that'll ever go away. It's just something she'll have to work with while reassuring herself that her family loves her and won't forget about her. But as far as that goes- i'll probably actually address it as relationships develop and the feeligns build up until she can't bottle it up anymore.

Other than her personal problems, i'm aiming for a pretty healthy relationship with her family. I want her to be there to cheer them up and help them out when they need her, and for them to be willing to go to her to relax and have fun. She may not be the first on the list for more serious problems- but if they do come up I want her to do the best she can to help. Despite her carefree attitude, Goatcry can be a hard worker when all of her energy is focused on her task.

When the emotions do build up, i'm hoping for a positive resolution with her siblings that doesn't ruin their realationships. Obviously. I'm not here to be a homewrecker. (for now)

Hmmm I'm not actively planning anything else? Though i will say that Goatcry is definitely romantic in the fact she probably believes in "the one" and might be fery flighty for relationships until she finds them. In a signifigant other she's probably looking for someone who completes her- her other half. They might not match her for energy, but someone who'll complement that part of her.

Goatcry is probably pretty open to Scorchedsun's rise to the throne after his encounter with the bear. She thinks he's a good king- way more relatable than Leopardstar was anyways. (And also way hotter in her opinion- but hey, who's asking?) She's pretty angry with ashenwood as well with their attack on her kingdom. She thinks those assholes need to learn their lesson- she might get into a little trouble after making a plan to get some pettty revenge. (And by a little i mean possibly more. We'll see how it happens- she'd need a partner in crime for it and if she doesn't get one it'll just remain a dream haha)

    "Kindness is free, a lot of folks think you have to give gifts but just giving a smile is kind enough for someone who's having a bad day, sweetpea."
                                                         --
Sibling: Cotton

Name: Cottonbloom

Personality: [And I cannot compete with you...]

Name Meaning: 
  Cotton - Given for her soft and rather curly fur
  Bloom - Given for her ability to make the world around her bloom

Plans for them: 
I see Cottonbloom as a Keeper, not aggressive or strong enough nor big enough to be a Warden but not crafty or curious enough to be a Woodsmith. She's rather happy with being a Keeper and has pride in her job. It makes her genuinely happy to be taking care of little sproutlings and the farmlands. 

Development wise, I want and aim for her to slowly start opening up to folks, to start sharing her thoughts and expressing herself more, very small so perhaps to one or two cats at first and then she starts being a bit more expressive with more and more until she kind of gains her "voice". With this, she'll not only start becoming more outspoken, but hopefully more outgoing and confident. 

She'd like to have a family and kits of her own along with someone to love, and while she'll most likely get a few crushes along the way, it's more infatuation than love and her learning that is also another thing I'm hoping for. That life just isn't pleasing others and caring for others but she herself can be cared for and have her own joy. 

Relationship with family is subject to vary due to individual personalities once they're settled, but overall, it's a half-half situation. She loves the Flower Patch but there's a bit of sadness there. She keeps comparing herself to them and their achievements yet whenever they are hurt or in need of something, she's stepping over herself to tend to them.

Sibling: cotton
Name: Cottontail 
Personality: Positive: caring, loyal   Neutral: realistic, sensitive, reserved Negative: timid, disturbing   
Cotton is a very caring cat that loves to check on others and make sure they are ok obviously towards her siblings the most, she loves to help the queens and elders out when she has spare time. She is super loyal to her kingdom and her family and would make sure she never lets them down. Cotton is very realistic to what she expects is going to happen and how the logic of it would work, which is a great bonus to her job as a woodsmith as she needs to obviously think about how it would work, though this also has its bad sides when it comes to talks like her future with a missing leg. Cotton is very sensitive she hates to hear bad things spoken in general and if its about her she will just end up trying to avoid that cat for the rest of her life if it was even possible. Timid, this doesnt help due to her sensitivity but cotton isnt the best when it comes to talking to cats her age/rank she finds it easier to talk to queens, kits or elders cause they wont be too judging in her mind. Sure cotton is a sweet and shy kid but sometimes the things that come out of her mouth can be a bit dark for cats to hear, she doesnt mean to scare them it just comes off as creepy (example: Isnt it weird how we pretty much walk on bones under us every day?" "twigs can be as fragile as a baby birds bones I swear they are difficult to work with sometimes")

Some traits are missing but thats cause I also seen the last 3 of each section would also change depending on how she grew up/how her siblings were like to her.

Name Meaning: Cotton: soft colour/fur Tail: For her balance when building 

Plans for them: She started to be a woodsmith and got the name cottontail due to her good work but during the battle from ashen and brair she managed to lose a limb in battle, she would be fresh out of the medicine den trying to adjust to her new life but shes having troubles understanding if she can even be a woodsmith anymore (she might try and change to try and become a keeper) As a kit cotton was never the best with social interaction but she grew to get better with it thanks to her siblings but she still has difficulties.

Sibling: Piebald

Name: Dappledrift/dream

Personality:

| Controlled | Calm | Objective | Obeys | dorky | unhappy | introverted | socially inept  | 

Dapplekit was a very excitable and hyper cat, who had a very positive outlook on life. They enjoyed a lot of things in life, and was very excited to grow up. Generally speaking they spent a lot of time with their family, as much as their family could tolerate- often their excitement becoming on the verge of annoying. They got into trouble quite a bit, often trying to sneak out or harass their parents until they put their paws down and forced them to calm down by making them sit in the corner until they stopped vibrating. This didn’t get much better when they became an apprentice. They barely made it through boot camp, their focus is not really on what was important, but the heads of the boot camp ended up giving them to a very focused and serious mentor in an effort to straighten her out. And they did, Dapplepaw was forced to sit still, to calm down, and was straightened up. They went from an excitable and hyper kitten to once who an apprentice who could actually sit for a few minutes without having to get up to pace. She had to push away her siblings and any friends she had made to focus on learning to behave, something that still affects her.

The thing is, this excitement didn’t go away. It instead was bottled up inside, curling and flexing constantly, trying to escape. She was taught control- that she had to be in control if anyone was to ever like her. If anyone would ever care about her- she was talked down to, and like sculpting hard clay, she was molded and fitted into a position where she would be the most useful for the clan. She learned in order for anyone to like her- for her to be someone worth being cared about she needed to be calm. To not be herself. Her memories of being an annoying brat constantly flashing through her head. It became like a nightmare to her, who she was before haunting her constantly. She was an adult now, and she needed to act like it. She wasn’t happy, but she was marked for being most improved while she grew up. She became a model warrior, a keen fighter, someone who listens to orders, obeys and will get the job done no matter what. This is a good thing, since she’s now knowledgeable, and can have a fairly objective view on things.

But, this unhappiness is still inside her. On occasion it will burst out with sudden shouts of laughter or extreme emotions, or this energy will transform to restlessness, making her unable to sleep- her memories of how she messed up throughout the day keeping her from resting. All of this pent up energy is something she’s ended up believing is a natural part of life. That all adult cats feel this way, like a weight in their stomach constantly eating away at themselves is normal and childish warriors need to learn that behaving in an excited or kitten-like ways need to learn quickly that life isn’t like that. That they need to behave and be a good warrior for their clan. She welcomes this feeling- not realizing that these feelings are hurting her. It’s something she grew up with, and it’s normal to her- Like welcoming a wolf into her home, it gnaws on her bones and eats away at her mental health, constantly scratching and pleading for more. 

She doesn't view any of this as unhealthy. She holds cats at a distance, having walls up in an effort to keep her true self in control. She’s a little socially inept from when she cut everyone off as an apprentice, now she’s struggling to reforge those bonds with the cats she’s supposed to be the closest to. She doesn’t know how to deal with strangers, socially awkward and confused. But, she hates silence still, and will fill it with anything she can, from talking to just tapping on things. Her once positive behavior has become negative, believing the worst has happened. She flickers between feeling numb to the situations when in “adult” mode, to overreacting. She can end up oversleeping, often feeling mentally drained from social situations as she’s constantly had to focus and keep herself under control. Introverted to outsiders, but once her walls lower just a bit, more and more of her true self will begin to peek out and it’s shown she’s really a social butterfly who’s been put in a self-made jar. She has a hair of humor that she may use with cats she’s comfortable with, but more often then that she suppresses her humor- and pranks she used to play have no longer become a thing. 

Name Meaning: Dapple was originally named for their spotted colors, when they were a kit their white fur was much more spotted and less piebald like- but as they grew into a paw and then into a warrior the white grew and expanded out, she jokingly suggests when she’s an elder she’s gonna go completely white. They received their warrior name the name Drift from their ability to go with the winds of change fairly easily, changing themselves to suit the situation. This is also a double name as it could be viewed as being called Dappled Rift, which Dappled for the same reason as before, but Rift in reference to the rift they are feeling inside from the fact they’ve had to change themselves and how it’s very conflicting inside as she tries to figure out what she’s going to do with her life. If she wants to be a queen, if she wants to focus on her family, and how she’s supposed to feel about everything that’s gone. How she feels about herself. 

Plans for them: I plan for them to be a Woodsmith or a Warren, I feel Dapple needs a serious outlet for their energy, and being a woodsmith could give them a creative outlet that could help them channel that kit-like energy into something that won’t let them pile it all up inside their body where it could end up hurting them in the future. But if they became a warren they might take their energy and throw themselves into being a Warren very seriously with the intent of becoming a general someday, even if they really don’t want to- but they have all this energy so they might as well. 

Dapple also could tots got villagio the more they age the whiter they end up being which could be seen a fact they're stressed

I feel they would hold their siblings at a distance, try and be a good model warrior for even then. She understands them more than other cats, and wants to rebuild her bonds with them, but struggles to know how to do so. She’s the middle sister, and feels that’s an important thing so she can be a good representation to her siblings, the middle kit is often such a troublemaker- so it’s important that she doesn't fall into that trap. She knows how she’s supposed to be, an ideal in her mind of what she wants to be for them, but her vision is literally unacceptable. She would probably base this view off of Scorchedsun, who she believes is the second coming so it’s pretty unreasonable. She’s probably be protective of them, but view any excitable siblings or her younger siblings as cats that need to grow up a little more.

If any cat really shows any interest in her emotionally or romantically she is a bit emotionally unsure of what to do, and will go based off of what she views her parents relationship is like. Even if she doesn't like they really, the fact that they’re interested in her in something she secretly craves desperately, which means she can end up in situations where she’s unsure of what to do and could lead to her going to the sibling she feels closest to/most knowledgeable about the subject.

I feel she definitely was a part of the defense against ashenwood, and views it as a matter of time before they try and attack again. She feels they need to up their defenses immensely, and that means more warriors. She may even feel pressured to have kits before she’s fully ready to make good warriors for the clan.

Sibling: Strawberry

Name: Rosefire

Personality:
Positive
-Confident
-Determined
-Social Butterfly

Neutral
-Charismatic
-Flirtatious
-Ambitious

Negative
-Vain
-Self-Centered

-Aggressive

First and foremost I wanted her to be confident in both her appearance and her abilities and to be quick to put anyone who tries to talk shit about her in their place.Rosefire is the type of cat who knows who she is and who she wants to be and she makes goals with the expressed to achieve them, come hell or high water. Her determination is strong and it takes quite a bit to stop Rosefire once she's put her mind to something. Still, Rosefire makes plenty of time for her social life and when she's not busy with her jobs as a warden, she's almost definitely hanging out with other kingdom members. Rosefire is very sociable and charismatic and its not hard for her to make friends. Of course, her looks help with that as well. She enjoys the attention she gets and loves to flirt with everyone, some of it serious, some of it not.Sometimes she gets carried away and has made a bad habit out of toying with cat's emotions. Especially if she thinks doing so will help her achieve her goals. While Rosefire tries to be a good and kind cat, so often finds her ambition clashing with those efforts as she is willing to do what she must to get what she wants, even if she harms others in the process. And of course Rosefire is vain, having a very high opinion of herself and her appearance and has the tendency to get swept up in only doing things that further her own goals. She often struggles between making a choice between doing something that would help herself and doing what is best for the kingdom and her family. She of course, can get very touchy when cats point out her flaws or get in her way and has been known to lash out.

Name Meaning:
Prefix:Rose-originally named for the pinkish color of her pelt, the prefix serves a double meaning as like a rose, Rosefire is beautiful upon first appearances, but has thorns hidden underneath all the beautiful.
Suffix:Fire- For her fierce and passionate determination and her impressive battle prowess.

Plans for them:
Rank:Warden
-I really like the idea of her being something that appears very gentle and delicate, but can kick your ass without hesitation.
-I like the idea that Rosefire's personal desires and goals often conflict with those of her family and kingdom and that she struggles to find the balance between doing what is best for her and doing what is best for the kingdom and her family. I can see this causing a lot of conflict for her down line, both internally and externally
-Rosefire is initially on good terms with her family but as time goes on that relationship beginnings to sour as Rosefire continually puts herself before her the rest of her family
-I also like the idea that while Rosefire loves her family she sees them as holding her back and I could see her manipulating her siblings emotions to further her own goals and I think it would be interesting to see the fallout from that.
-Another potential idea, but I could see if one of the siblings did something bad or shameful, that Rosefire would turn against them rather than support them
-Rosefire also definitely fought in the battle with Ashenwoods and while she happy and proud that they one, she feels like it isn't enough and they need to get back at the fire cats.
-I also think it would be fun if Rosefire has a few secrets that she keeping from her family and what happens when they find out/if they find out
-In general I would like to see her doing a lot of scheming and manipulation and string pulling to further whatever goals she made have.

Sibling: Elk
Name: Elkstep 
Personality: [Good-natured, Humble, Protective, Private, Stern, Stubborn, Critical, Disorganized, Asocial]
Elkstep is, on the surface, a very hardworking cat. Being the oldest in a family of younger siblings helped shape him into the responsible cat he is to the present day. He worries often about
his younger sisters and will be there at the drop of a leaf should they need his help. Initially he had thrown a fit when he was told he was going to have to share mother's attention and was
a bit antagonistic in his apprenticeship, nipping his sisters ears or batting at their tails. He was the biggest after all, and after learning to channel his energy into more productive means he certainly
mellowed out. He was never good at  voicing when he was having a hard time and often chose to suffer and get frustrated on his own, which has left him needing to learn to open up a bit more. He
doesn't want to burden his little sisters with having to handle his feelings. Elkstep would rather be the aloof and 'cool', brother, but sometimes the emotional floodgates will show cracks when he gets
especially stressed.
Name Meaning: [Elk]- For his patterning and coat color, [Step]- for his initiative and risk-taking
Plans for them: I'd like to make him either a woodsmith or a warden! And as for plans for him, he strikes me as a (sometimes) very, very, VERY overprotective older brother. He could be very suspicious of friends/romantic partners his sisters take up and depending on whether or not the parents are still around will affect this. I see him on borderline paternalistic, where maybe he's stepped into more of a parental figure role a little too early. He's unsure of how to take care of his sisters without inadvertently pushing them away and is maybe is unwilling to admit when he needs to relax or just let them make mistakes. He doesn't want to see them get hurt, but without making mistakes none of them will grow, so he's met himself at an impasse. He can be very critical of himself and the others, but at some point it would be fun to see him kind of take his step back and let the youngsters take control of their lives. 
Activity Rating: [4-5] I'll be starting work soon hopefully, but I'll def be around!
