Looking for some potential family members for Cricketpaw!
I'm most interested in finding an adopter for Nettle-, since she's had a big impact on his life and would likely continue to do so for a good while yet. Fair warning that I'm likely to be somewhat picky about her because of this, though!
Not so sure if I want/need to adopt all of the rest of his family out, but they're here in case anyone is interested. Just throw me some ideas if you are and we'll see how it goes!
Nettle-
Cricketpaw’s mother || second mate of Gorse-, (deceased)
Daywalker || No white marks || Not a duskwalker
Has always been temperamental || Very critical of / hard on Cricketpaw (never satisfied by anything he does)
Deeply hurt by the Gorse situation || Went through a phase of guilt /anger (from discovery of Gorse situation through to confirmation of Gorse’s death), then a phase of grief, theeen swung back to anger and took it out on Cricket.
Sees Fern’s kits as ‘perfect’ and the God’s sign that Fern should have been Gorse’s only mate
Convinced Cricket is Gorse’s punishment and that it’s her duty to set him ‘right’ || Basically trying to work the ‘sin’ right out of him
Probably didn't have too much of an issue with white spots before the Gorse's situation (and may still be ok with white on other cats--just not Cricket)
Fern-
Cricketpaw’s aunt || Nettle’s sister || first mate of Gorse- (deceased)
Daywalker || No white marks || Not a duskwalker
Initially tried to keep her kits away from Nettle/Cricketpaw (probably out of concern for how Nettle would react to seeing them a second time) || Attempted to split Cricketpaw and her kits up after they befriended each other (and failed).
*May or may not have told her kits that Cricketpaw is their brother
Cricketpaw’s half-siblings/cousins
Kits of Fern- and Gorse-
One tom; two she-cats
Approximately two weeks older than Cricketpaw
No white marks || No duskwalkers (open to one being a nightwalker)
Briefly friends of Cricketpaw during kithood (despite Fern’s best efforts to keep them apart)
Said friendship cut off by Cricketpaw before apprenticeship
*May or may not have since learnt that they’re his half-siblings (either from Fern or from someone else).
*Whether Cricketpaw’s siblings know anything about their kinship/the Gorse situation is up to whoever claims the first of them (or partly whoever claims Fern, if she happens to go first). Probably best to assume that if one of the trio knows then they all do…
