Description
7.9.18 WEEPS I left DOW, so this boy and the rest of the fam (excluding precious Goosefeather) have officially disappeared from the DOW 'verse :c I updated this as best as I could, though!
6.2.17 This update is so late,,,, I'm sORRY. @ bee YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO (she knows what I mean.) ALSO CAN YA'LL BELIEVE HERBSHIPPING/SO RIGHT INVENTED LOVE? I AM IN A STATE OF DISBELIEF. His song has been updated (bc apparently I can't ever keep it the same.) Thoughts and relationships on his fam also updated (still laughing about wasp tbh), and I feel like I've given up taking his history seriously LOL Though by the way, even for cats who just went missing and/or disappeared, they're crossed out bc Sorrel thinks they're as good as dead (isn't he so optimistic?) And one day I'll finish his personality...<_< I'm so lazy, ya'll
"I am made of bullets, shrapnel; you are solar flares and
soft lips. Better creatures could love you, I know, but
now they'll have to get through me."

PERSONALITY
Alignment: Neutral Good (more info )
‣ A neutral good character typically acts altruistically, without regard for or against lawful precepts such as rules or tradition. A neutral good character has no problems with cooperating with lawful officials, but does not feel beholden to them. In the event that doing the right thing requires the bending or breaking of rules, they do not suffer the same inner conflict that a lawful good character would.
MBTI: INFP — "The Mediator" (more info )
‣ Unlike their Extraverted cousins though, INFPs will focus their attention on just a few people, a single worthy cause – spread too thinly, they’ll run out of energy, and even become dejected and overwhelmed by all the bad in the world that they can’t fix. This is a sad sight for INFPs’ friends, who will come to depend on their rosy outlook. If they are not careful, INFPs can lose themselves in their quest for good and neglect the day-to-day upkeep that life demands. INFPs often drift into deep thought, enjoying contemplating the hypothetical and the philosophical more than any other personality type. Left unchecked, INFPs may start to lose touch, withdrawing into "hermit mode," and it can take a great deal of energy from their friends or partner to bring them back to the real world.
Fatal Flaw(s): Insecurity, Feared Lack of Self Worth
‣ This has been proven many, many times over in interactions with his closest friends. It might be the death of him one day, not believing that something he's done (even if he's completely capable of performing that task wonderfully) is good enough, if he's given an important enough job and fudges it up because of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Over the moons, however, he is beginning to regain the self-confidence he used to have back when he was a kit and apprentice. Still, he finds himself doubting his worth every now and then.
Trait Summary:
Positive: Wholehearted - Sweet - Goofy - Protective
Neutral: Patient - Dedicated (Obsessive) - Beneficial - Indecisive
Negative: Immature - Selfish - Insecure - Self Reproachful
Positive:
Wholehearted — "With unconditional and enthusiastic devotion."
Sweet — "Having a kind personality, befitting an angel or cherub."
Goofy — "Ludicrous, or foolish."
Protective — "Showing care; solicitously caring or mindful."
Neutral:
Patient — "Enduring trying circumstances with an even temper or characterized by such endurance."
Dedicated (or Obsessive) — "An irrational characterization motive for performing trivial or repetitive actions, even against your will; an unhealthy and compulsive preoccupation with something or someone."
Beneficial — "Promoting or enhancing one's own well-being, sometimes at the expense of or above others."
Indecisive — "Characterized by a lack of decision and firmness."
Negative:
Immature — "Characteristic of a lack of maturity; not yet adult."
Selfish — "Concerned chiefly or only with one's self and one's advantage to the exclusion of others."
Insecure — "Lacking self-confidence or assurance in one's self."
Self-Reproachful — "The act or an instance of charging oneself with a fault or mistake."

Prey: Fish ("it tastes like death. wtf is wrong with those seaclanners")

Time of Day: Moonhigh (looking at the stars also makes him sad, seeing as most of his fam are in Silverpelt)
Activity: Being forced to patrol out in the rain ("IT FEELS LIKE PUNISHMENT AND DEATH")
Scent: The iron-tang of blood
Place: The warriors' den (it's so crowded these days; he has to basically be an acrobat to get out without stepping on someone's tail or ear or muzzle)
Speech Habits:
‣ Tends to stammer a lot whenever Fen's around, bc he's a dork
‣ His words become somewhat more formal around cats outside his Clan
‣ The dad jokes are eNDLESS LIKE THOSE POOR KITS OF HIS

HighClan
|| | SHININGWING | FATHER
I've accepted that he's gone. There was nothing anybody could do for him, and I know that now. It wasn't any cat's fault for what happened. He wasn't a stand-up cat, which I didn't understand for a long time...he was also kinda bad about the whole parenting thing, and he certainly wasn't someone you want to strive to become, but he did his best by us. I want to be better for my kits than he did with us.
|| | SPLASHLEAF | MOTHER
Until recently I hadn't realized that things with my mother...I mean...she tried her best??? She was a good mother. She just up and vanished one day, and that definitely hurts, don't get me wrong. If she's dead, I hope she made it to StarClan safely.
| | IVYLEAP, LAURELFROST, NIGHTPAW | MISSING LITTERMATES
I loved Ivyleap, even though she was a bit finicky at times (or all the time.) She used to sort of flutter from one thing to the next, depending on who or what captured her attention; the only thing that always remained stable with her was family, but she was one of my closest friends and confidantes. Laurelfrost and I never bonded all that well, and while she wasn't the bravest cat, she had seemed to become more sure of herself in the last few moons she last seen. Nightpaw disappeared way before, back when we were all apprentices. One day he was there, and the next he was gone. I hope they're okay.
||| | POLLENCLOUD | SISTER
I can't believe she's gone...
| BURNINGDUST, SCORCHFROST, EMBERWING, OWLSTAR, FAINTSTAR | OLDER BROTHERS (+ OLDER ADOPTED BROTHER)
Yeaaahh...remember how I said I'd keep an eye on Burningdust's kits and mate now that he's gone? Um...that didn't work out. Like...his whole line is sort of...dead. Granted, I didn't owe him anything, since we never even spoke, but still. As for Scorchfrost and Emberwing...I was never close to them, so...then Owlstar disappeared around the same time as Nightpaw. It's so strange. In Faintstar's case, I had hoped that he would be the last leader we had for a while, 'cause this going back and forth nonsense was getting ridiculous. Then he decided to stay behind at the Rosenest! Seriously??
||| | WASPGAZE | FORMER MENTOR
HE LOST A FRIGGEN EYE AND, LIKE, HALF HIS EAR? FROM FALLING DOWN A MOUNTAIN. DID I STUTTER? YOU HEARD ME. A MOUNTAIN. The guy already had a kinked tail! Stop beating him up, StarClan, jeez!! And I didn't even find out until way later??
| | WINGPAW, SUNKIT, BRIGHTKIT | YOUNGER SIBLINGS
Wingpaw and Brightkit disappeared, and Sunkit's dead. Sunkit and Brightkit got so ill...
| | DUSTBUNNY | YOUNGER SIBLING
Not only is he younger brother, but he was my apprentice! I'm so proud of him.
|| | CRASHSONG | FRIEND
Things didn't work out as well as I had hoped for him.
|||| | FENNELROOT | MATE
//SWEATS// It feels like everything we've been through was just a dream or something, and now we're mates?? I never thought he'd feel the same way as me, and yet, here we are. I feel like I'm going to wake up at any moment and someone's gonna tell me that I've been sleeping. I've always felt strong with him, like we can get through anything we set our minds to. Now we're raising kits! Can you believe that?? I'm still in a state of disbelief! We're so domestic now...I've never been so ridiculously happy in my life. I love him so much.
|| | BLACKSTAR | ???
She changed her name around the same time that Fennelroot did, and she's Blackhawk (...er...Blackstar) now; it's so weird that we've grown apart so much, so she isn't the little Sharpkit, then Sharppaw, that I knew. I'd like to go hunting with her sometime and maybe clear the air for whatever reason? I don't know what happened to us, and I don't know how she'd feel about me asking her to hang out...she's leader now, though, so I hope she's all right and isn't too stressed.
| | COAL | ???
I haven't seen him since we met in the clearing several moons ago. He's kind of why Fen and I fought, but it's not as though it was really his fault. I need to check up on him again to be sure he's okay...I'm not even sure he made the journey with us.
||| | CARROTBLOSSOM | BEST FRIEND ("BLOSSOM")
Don't even get me started on this...this vixen. She's a mastermind! I swear, it's like she just knows thing. It's only thanks to her that Fen and I got together at all. She's given us an amazing chance to be parents, and I honestly can't thank her enough for that. Because of her, I have my sons and daughters. She's incredible -- a goddess among mortals. These kits have the best aunt anyone could ever ask for.
||| | ROOKFEATHER | DEPUTY
He came back! I honestly couldn't believe my eyes.
| | CHARREDOAK | DENMATE
I suppose he and Polly are a thing now?? I can't really tell. At least he had the decency to introduce himself to me, unlike other cats I could mention (coughGingercough), so I suppose he's got some sliver of manners somewhere in him...somewhere deep...like, maybe his small toe. Okay, let's be real: he's awful. I really need to have a talk with Polly about her standards, because yikes...
| | FLIGHTLESS, BLITEBERRY | ADOPTED NIECES
They're warriors now, but in my eyes, they'll always be the kits that we rescued from that awful place. I'm so proud of how far they've come and what they've accomplished.
| | JUNIPERCLAW, GOOSEFEATHER, LARKSPUR | SONS
By the grace of StarClan, I swear that my sons are the greatest, most caring cats in the world! Their antics never fail to cheer me up, and sometimes I wonder if Larkspur is Fen reborn. I mean, I have to call him Fen Jr.! Thank StarClan none of them seem too much like me. Juniperclaw takes after Fen, too, and how deadpanned he can be, but you can obviously tell that he cares. Goosefeather's an amazing brother, and always helping his siblings whenever they need him. He and Larkspur have that in common, though all three of them are close with their sisters. They're warriors now, and I still struggle with not hovering...Blossom keeps saying that Fen and I have to let our sons and daughters mistakes and bumbles, but I just wanna smooth their paths of any thorns.
| | SHRIKEFROST, RYEFLOWER | DAUGHTERS
My beautiful, wonderful daughters are more than I could have ever hoped for. Ryeflower is a force to be reckoned with (I really worry about her...she's way too much like myself and Blossom, and that stresses me out so much), while Shrikefrost is so gentle and adorable. She's my sweet baby girl; she's much more careful than Ryeflower, or any of her siblings, really. I want to give both of them the world. I love that they're so close with their brothers, and seem to have a great bond with each other, too. I'm also a bit too quick to react whenever I think they've been hurt, so it's a good thing Fen is somewhat more laid back (read: not much, but he's better at hiding it than me.) I might be overprotective, but only 'cause I care!

‣ He didn't really expect the name that he got. He thought it'd be something like Sorrelwing or Sorrelfrost or Sorrelclaw, but he likes the one Owlstar chose
‣ Is 100% done with all these leader changes in HighClan. What the actual heck, ya'll
‣ Due to his long tail, his balance has always been exceptionally good, and he loves heights. Obsessed with them, tbh
‣ Huge troublemaker as a kit, but grew out of it (...to some degree)
‣ Will never approve of any of Pollencloud's suitors. Ever. He has ridiculous hoops they'd have to jump through to get his approval
‣ At this point, he hardly reacts when finding out a family member is dead or missing. Not sure if he's numb or has "gotten used to it," as sad as that sounds. Neither option sounds good :c
‣ He still gets phantom, psychosomatic pain from the injured shoulder that landed him in the medicine cat den during the rockslide. It acts up during cold weather especially (bc he "imagines" it'd hurt more during this time, therefore it does)
‣ To date, he's had at least 3x panic attacks. Two of them were witnessed by Fennelroot; one was down in that cavern he fell into during the rockslide
‣ Primary Disney character counterpart is Simba from The Lion King
‣ Secondary Disney character counterpart is Todd from The Fox and the Hound Fennel is Copper
‣ The moment that his kits were weaned, he took over Blossom's nest in the nursery
‣ His oldest, Lark, sometimes calls him 'Mama Sorrel' and Sorrel always gigglesnorts when he hears it...he can't help it. It's so cute! Anyone else besides his kits calling him that gets a death glare, though (including Fen, who Sorrel has glared and hissed at more than once when he said it)
‣ For quite some time after the kits were born, he and Fen didn't allow anyone except Carrie and their nieces near...they literally growled and snarled at anyone else getting within a fox-length of the nest
‣ When his kits were younger, he would instinctively bare his teeth and bristle at anyone (except Carrie, Blite, and Flight) getting close to the kits, as does Fen; they've obviously calmed down...they sorta had no choice, considering their kits are warriors now!
