Description
| Rules! |
-This is not first come first serve! I'll choose winners once a few tryouts have been posted for both though that depends on how many I get honestly
-These are for only
-Names can be altered, I just need to know so that I can edit the histories.
-Designs can have some, minor changes, can be made to the designs! However, Quiet has to stay black and Pine has to be a brown tabby.
-When winners are chosen I'll give them transparent copies of their ref along with the palette o/
| Information on the babes! (since they have strong roles in Morningsun's backstory) |
-Morningsun's APP!
-General summary of their history with Morningsun to save you some reading:
- The three had very dotting parents, their father in particular.
- Pine and Morning were little scamps as kits! Quiet got dragged into lots of trouble by Morning.
- Pine's treatment of Quiet could be interpreted as almost antagonistic even if his intentions weren't necessarily cruel. He thought it would push her to improve.
- Morning and Quiet were always the closest of the siblings leaving a rift between them and Pine.
- Quiet lagged behind the other two as an apprentice and Morning tried to help her train, ultimately straining the relationship between herself and Quiet without her noticing.
- Pine tries to "encourage" Quiet after she receives her warrior name because he thinks she's slacking off.
- The tension between all three reaches a head and Quiet leaves Brambleclan (There could be other factors that make her leave, up to her future owner to decide.)
- Pine and Morning stop speaking for nearly year. They reconnect after the death of Morning's apprentice when he helps her get back on her feet.
| Tryout Form/General info! |
Name: (If you decide to keep their given names then just put that! Quietfoot in particular could have taken a rogue name after leaving.)
Age: 46 moons (Cannot be changed)
Sex: Quietfoot is female and Pineclaw is male (Cannot be changed)
Gender: (While they were both written as cisgender you can feel free to change that! Just be sure to tell me so I can be sure to update Morningsun's app.)
Personality: (Feel free to toy with and interpret their personalities as you see fit! So long as it fits in with how they behave in Morning's history since their personalities and how they clash form such a central role there. EX: Quiet is well- quiet- she's reserved but she doesn't necessarily have to be meek or cowardly. You could still make her witty and acerbic so long as she remains pretty anti-social. Meanwhile Pineclaw is pushy and has a hard time being especially empathetic. Maybe he is malicious and antagonistic? Maybe he means well but takes things to far? Maybe he's a big dummy? That's for you to decide.)
Brief History: (Look above for necessary details! There is still a lot you can add to help explain Pine and Quiet's behaviors within their histories outside of the events involving Morning. It has also been about a year since Quiet left Bramble clan so there's plenty that could have happened between then and the present. Lovers? Kits? Cruel mentors? Admittedly I never went into detail about their mother, Juniperfall, so I'd be open to discuss ideas with the winners about what she is/was like)

Name: Dusk (Was known as Quietfoot)
Age: 46 moons
Sex: Female
Gender: Molly
Personality:
{ Italicized: Good traits
Underlined: Neutral traits
Bold: Negative traits }
Good listener - For ones who remember Quietfoot, they know she is quite the listener. She took note of what happened within the clan, and outside of the clan. Her mentor knew she listened, because she worked hard despite her setback. That wasn’t enough for her brother, though, considering the circumstances, but good for her chatterbox of a sister.
Peacemaker - Dusk never was one to be rude, or even snappy. She would rather solve problems than get into them, and often, she would try to get to a compromise with her sharp-tongued brother, but that worked less than she liked it to. That lead to her just sitting down and taking it after awhile, and much later, ended up leaving. She's a peacemaker nowadays only if need be.
Empathetic - Dusk was one to try and understand her clan members more on an emotional level rather than on a tactical level. She was a quiet kit- hence her former name Quietfoot- and a quiet apprentice, and even warrior ((during the short time she was one)). Her mentor appreciated her more often than not for that, and so did her sister Morningsun.
Careful - In her former clan, she realized when she left that she needed to keep on her toes. The only cat she knew she could trust was really her sister Morningsun, and her parents Juniperfall and Owlbark. She may have had a few acquaintances as an apprentice, but she knew they were only that- acquaintances.
Mellow - Getting away from the clan was both a good thing and a bad thing- more good than bad. She was able to calm down, and ease herself out of the rut she was in when she left. Dusk still has moments of self-deprecation, though, and rarely does it happen unless she happens to be wistful at the time. She can sit and lie in a tree without a spike of anxiety like she had when she first left the clan life she was born into.
Daydreamer - Dusk may seem sullen, but her head is filled to the brim with fantasies. Her head often thinks of the ancient lore of the clans, and the clans before the ones she knew of now. Thunderclan, Windclan, Shadowclan, Riverclan- all of them seem so similar to the ones Dusk was born into. Was Shadowclan like Brambleclan- guarded, and suspicious? Was Riverclan like Lakeclan? Well, other than the name familiarities. The amount of dreaming of life in the past often made her neglect her warrior duties, and it didn’t help that Pineclaw put her down for having an imagination.
Secretive - With the amount of cats who pass through the unclaimed territory, she hears things- rumors, loves from different clans, even murder plots. The amount of things she hears makes her nervous, and thus, she keeps a tight lip. Not a single thing she’s heard has left her thoughts.
Sarcastic - This was something she hated to develop, but it happened anyway. The bite of her brother’s harsh words left her own words icy and rude. Almost every arrogant tom she sees, she swears she can hear her brother. This shields her soft heart like a turtle hiding its soft stomach with its shell. Only one tom has not been met with icy words at first meeting.
Soft-hearted - She was babied more often than not in her life due to her brother’s harsh words that left her down for the count emotionally. She has a softer heart than others, able to keep talk with kits without sharp words or sassy words like her siblings, but rather a gentleness that most of the queens saw and was glad to have when she was a mere kit. This trait, though, was her downfall. Her soft heart couldn’t take the verbal lashings from the spiteful Pineclaw.
Brief History: Dusk was born to Owlbark and Juniperfall in the name of Quietkit. She was, of course, very quiet and reserved during her kithood. More often than not she would watch with her bright, almost owlish orange eyes as her brother terrorized the poor kits who just wanted sleep or the queens who needed rest. The tiny shadow just sat by her mother’s soft belly, watching in interest and sometimes terror. Apprenticeship would be better than sitting like a lump on a tree branch by Juniperfall all day. Even then, that little swell of anxiety was what made her hesitant.
When Dusk became Quietpaw, she gained the patient mentor known as Oakfur, and things were going alright- sorta. Her father was proud as can be, and because of that, he seemed to be feeding her other two siblings’ ego like no tomorrow. Morningpaw strutted proudly wherever she went, and Pinepaw wasn’t a help. “Pitiful”,”hopeless”.. Those words rung true in her head whenever she trained. Quietpaw wasn’t charming like her brother, or confident like her sister. She was merely quiet- shadowlike, silent. She tried training hard like her brother, pushing herself to the limits. That didn’t fare well, as she was tiny, and that didn’t fare well as she was close to passing out. More harsh insults later- much more, actually- Morningpaw actually was babying her. To some extent, the relief she felt was like the warm sun washing over her cold days of sharp words and icy temperament. Morningpaw trained with Quietpaw whenever, helping her through training and such. Of course, it wasn’t enough. She was held back, and her dismay crushed her. Of course, it wasn’t so bad. Morningpaw became Morningsun, and trained with her whenever she could.
Pineclaw became even more vicious with his words when she became Quietfoot. The first times out on her own with a patrol, and the first words were “Were you so busy in your stupid daydreams you forgot about the prey underfoot? Are you that simple-minded? The clan is much more important than dreaming about the past, you mouse brain!”. Before even a moon came, she was gone, tears in her eyes and her heart throbbing with the pain she couldn’t take anymore. Her mind was set on the unclaimed territory, where she could live without the threat of being a burden anymore. The first few days of traveling was hard, but worth it. She found a suitable tree to live in, with a gigantic hole enough to fit her and possibly another cat. Dusk stayed in that tree for a couple days, tired and depressed. She got hungry, and that was her incentive to go out of the large oak, and from there, she could stop and think. She never strayed from the tree she found, building a bed to sleep in from the leaves and the bramble, and from there she had more time to get herself together. No clan rules, no warrior code- this could actually be nice. Free to hunt how she pleased, Quietfoot soon gave up her old name for something new- Dusk. Spring came and went, and she was 40 moons.
It wasn’t long before someone new weaseled into her now walled-off heart when she was 43 moons. After hunting one day, she came back after an especially rainy day to find dark brown eyes staring dead at her from the tree branches above. She put away her prey, and went back out to find the tom was gone. This happened for a good 2 weeks before she thought of something. Maybe he was hungry, or needed a place to sleep? So, just as a try, she dug a hole and left it out. The next morning, she awoke to see the tom eating the squirrel, and she could see him clearly- a tall, and quite fluffy silver tabby with striking black markings. So to say, after he finished, she decided to talk to him with a curiosity in her tone rather than the biting scorn she learned from moons of abuse from her brother. Dusk didn’t see her brother in this cat. Rather, Dusk saw patience and kindness- a rarity these days. The tom introduced himself as Firefly, and Dusk introduced herself. Talking about bugs, the future, and the stars, the two bonded oddly fast. Dusk was even surprised when the two became mates, but so to say, Firefly was her light in the dark world she was born into. She hadn’t had something this good since she was a kit. Sadly, her sweet Firefly’s light would be extinguished by the time she turned 46 moons- a year since she left her clan left.

Name: Pineclaw
Age: 46 moons
Sex: Male
Gender: Tom
Personality:
+ Realistic
Pineclaw is definitely the type to say it like it is and hates to sugarcoat. He is adamant on thinking a kitten-like mindset would only lead to heartbreak and trouble later down the road, and finds it's for his as well as other's own benefit to serve up some cold hard reality- if they aren't strong enough to take it, maybe they should stay back at the nursery, yeah? He doesn't really mean to come off so harsh to seem this way though, in his mind his words always come out less prickly than they actually do.
+ Practical
Why work harder when you can work smarter? Pineclaw doesn't have any problem taking shortcuts, feeling that as long as the end result is the same, what's the purpose of climbing mountains when one can simply walk a hill? Mostly used to address work... but can sometimes address other cats too-- he means the best for them but if he can avoid talking to a particularly judgemental cat he has no problem doing so as he feels they cannot be swayed.
+ Orderly
While it may seem a bit...odd, Pineclaw is well organized. He feels planning is practical, and will reach an easier life and better results keeping his belongings clean and easy to find. It may be a bit of a shock to see such a rough-speaking tom to have such a tidy nest. He can get a bit of a short fuse when his things are disorganized though- considering he already is quite hot-headed- so when it's time for spring cleaning, best to leave him alone...
= Masculine
He definitely has an aura that screams 'tom'. From the scars on his body to his confident smirk, Pineclaw practically oozes boyishness from his pores. He tries to make himself noticable from his sisters with this aspect.
= Intense
Pineclaw is definitely too much for more meek cats. He's loud, critical, and has no probably hammering in tough love like sprinkles on an ice cream cone. If he doesn't approve of something being done or being said- he'll let the cat know. Expressing himself so much and so vividly can be exhausting to some cats though- he tends to burn then out.
= Sarcastic
If someone asked what Pineclaw is like, the first word out of the inquired's mouth would probably be 'sarcastic'. Mostly well meant but often biting, sarcasm is like second nature to this cat. He has a tendency to tear apart cats with his words, and while he does care, he feels it's the only way to make them improve so only bites harder when he senses pain.
- Agonizing
Pineclaw may mean well, but his execution of that thought leaves much to be desired. He often makes other cats feel he hates them or has some sort of vendetta against them. And honestly- with his scathing remarks and sarcastic comments being like whip lashes- who wouldn't feel that way?
- Stubborn
Pineclaw's tragic flaw is probably how stubborn he is. When he makes up his mind about something he more stubborn than a mule when it comes to something changing it. He is very static- in his mindset and actions- and claims to be perfectly happy that way and reject any attempts to differ himself to an idea he clings to with little more than a bat of his eyes.
- Calloused
Pineclaw is certainly rough around the edges. He wants the best for those he cares about but is so hurtful and scathing to others they don't feel inclined to believe he wants anything positive for them. Since the disappearance of his sister, he's become even rougher as well, hiding the pang of hurt with a protective, prickly shell of words.
Brief History:
- It seemed from birth Juniperfall and Owlbark were attached at the hip. They grew closer and closer as they grew, and before long they found themselves mates and then parents. The lost one kit from the beginning of their parenting career, but their three kits- Quietkit, Pinekit, and Morningkit were as healthy as could be.
- Pinekit was almost ruthless as a kit, enjoying teasing and annoying the life out of other kits and queens around the nursery. He straddled the line between mastermind and harmless fun in his kithood.
- As an apprentice, Pinepaw was as proud as he could be to finally train and accomplish something. It seemed both his mentor and his sister were "falling behind" in his eyes, and often he would scroff at his mentor to actually make an effort to train him, and took his own frustrations and hopes for Quietpaw to succeed in her trained out on her. He often teased and yelled at her-- calling her pitiful, hopeless, and many other names. He tried to let Morningpaw help assist his sister, but she only said he "was hurting her feelings" and starting babying her. The two grew close, which only mad Pineclaw angrier. Feeling left out, he turned to his own friend- another apprentice named Dewpaw. He was rash, reckless, and very dense. Most of the lectures Pinepaw gave him went over his head. This almost seemed to soften Pinepaw a little, and the two bonded a lot in their apprenticeship.
- Pinepaw became Pineclaw along with his sister Morningsun. He found his name appropriate, practically beaming with pride as he imagined himself fearlessly fighting and overcoming any monster or setback he could encounter in his life. Dewpaw also became Dewheart, and for once, Pineclaw sincerely congratulated him. His sister was not so lucky. She was held back- as it saw seen she should have more training before becoming a warrior. While Morningsun trained her, Pineclaw was more harsh. His words only grew more spiteful when she was approved to become a warrior- as she neglected her duties. He wasn't expecting her to run away. At first, he couldn't believe himself- he had run his own sister away from the entire clan- had he really pushed her too far? For weeks he moped around the clan, before a new realization flooded him- it had been his sister's fault. She was the weak-willed one, she was the one who had decided to become a traitor to the clan. He knew it was just a flimsy excuse, but he clings to it- growing more hard-hearted as a result.
- As he wasn't... the Most soft-hearted of cats, his leader decided it would be best to wait longer to give him an apprentice and instead gave one to Morningsun. At first Pineclaw was absolutely enraged, feeling more isolated than ever. He turned to Dewheart instead. The two became closer than ever, patrolling together, hunting together, feasting together. There were even murmurs that Pineclaw had moved his nest closer to Dewheart's. Neither of them confirm or denied those rumors, even now. Everything was going smoothly enough- until his sister's apprentice died. Even Pineclaw had to feel sorry for his poor sister, but he took his usual teasing and biting tone to her-- calling her Mourningsun along with many other names. To his delight, she seemed to regain her footing, and their relationship. He now spends his time with both Dewheart and his sister Morningsun, trying to put Quietfoot behind him.
