History-Pre-Birth-
Buzzardmoon and Whitedawn seemed like polar opposites, yet even with their differences the two loved each other dearly.
Buzzardmoon was a social butterfly, spending a great deal of his time with other cats. The tom seemed to feed off the energy of others, chirpy and energetic when others in her clan were while down whenever something dire took place that would emotionally shake his clan or a cat he felt particularly close to. Between his mate and him, Buzzardmoon was the cat most likely to do something silly, easily tricked by others as he failed to notice the obvious.
Whitedawn on the other hand was very perceptive, the she-cat preferred to stay on her own and away from crowds. Yet even with her loner attitude the she-cat was extremely protective of her mate and would push her feelings aside to come up close and personality with whoever may want to do bad things to him.
Both cats had their ups and downs, yet there was nothing that could draw the two apart. Time went by and eventually Whitedawn gave birth to three healthy kits.
-Kit-Hood-
Willowkit was the second kit of her parent’s only litter. She had however, already come to develop a devious nature at a young age, going as far as pushing young Kestrelkit away as they tried to get to their mother’s belly for milky to covering Birchkit with moss as he was sound asleep- Causing the kit to freak out when he woke. There was no amount of scolding that could make the kit change her ways, Willowkit was proud of her deeds and even though she feigned shame the she-cat felt no remorse over her actions.
Her attitude could have easily drawn her to become good friends with the other more troublesome kits, as during her kit-hood she was often approached by young dare devils. Some would offer to help her out while others going to challenge Willowkit to do something that would obviously get her into deep trouble. Willowkit was not interested in their ways. The kit was cool and distant to anyone who approached her, whether it was because she preferred to act on her own or didn’t want to drag others into trouble. The decision was hers alone and as a result the young kit was often alone, much to the other kits and queen’s surprise.
-Apprentice-
Moons of trouble waxed and waned, until the time came where Willowkit hit the age of six moons. A new freedom was given to her, freedom to wander and explore. Yet that liberty came at a price that went under the name of Foxmask.
Foxmask had more of an impact on the she-cat than she may have liked. The tom pushed Willowpaw to use a combination of strength and intellect when it came to taking on a situation from a different angle. The mentor influenced his apprentice in a large way, causing her to become far more analytical that she would have expected, using anything at her disposal to her advantage. This not only added to Willowpaw’s methods of causing trouble, it also helped the she-cat to want to learn.
The lack of interest about the clans way of life had slowly morphed into a thirst for knowledge that not even Foxmask could compete with. Willowpaw became a studious learner, going as far as asking cats of all kinds to learn more about the world. This was enough to please her mentor, as Willowpaw began using what she learnt in battle to gain an advantage, it was also something that caught the attention of many senior Riverclan warriors and they praised the young feline for her skills and curiousity…Yet, it was only after the she-cat had proven herself to use the many abilities in combat that the mentor made the decision to put Willowpaw through her assessment.
Willowpaw was thirteen moons old when her assessment took place, and the older apprentice did not work alone, during her final test the she-cat was accompanied by her brother and sister. The siblings were unaware that what they were about to walk into was the very start of the terror that would cause many of their clan mates to leave their home in search of a new place...
The group set out to bring back as much prey as they could, in hope of impressing their mentors. By then the twolegs had already begun removing parts of the forest, causing the number of prey to dwindle and the apprentices hoped to retrieve enough to feed the entire clan. While searching for prey Birchpaw came up with the silly (and wrong) conclusion that the twolegs had to be taking all the prey with the intentions of starving, and insisted that they work together to retrieve what was rightfully theirs.
The three siblings decided to approach a camp the twolegs had set up to investigate, and while looking around the small group began to pick up interesting smells...the smell of food. Following their noses Willowpaw, Birchpaw and Kestrelpaw tracked the scent down to a strange set up with plenty of food inside. It was weird and smelt like twoleg all around, but there was definitely enough to feed the entirety of Riverclan's nursery. Ignoring their wary thoughts the group choose Kestrelpaw as the cat to go in and take a closer look, and that's when all went haywire. All sudden the set up shifted, trapping Kestrelpaw inside what turned out to be a small cage. Unable to break their sister out of the trap Willowpaw and Birchpaw were dragged away by their mentors as the watched a group of twolegs, alerted by their cries, approach the cage and carry Kestrelpaw away.
That was the last Willowpaw saw of her little sister.
The event was a shock to the entire family, and even more to Birchpaw. Upon hearing who’s idea it had been Whitedawn threw a fit, yelling at her son for being an idiot, saying that he was the only one who had caused his sister’s capture, and accusing him of setting her up because he had been jealous his entire apprentice-hood of the way Kestrelpaw had been so popular and beloved by both his parents more than he could ever be. This alone pushed Birchpaw to blame himself even more for the entire accident, and it was with a heavy heart that both Willowpaw and her brother passed their assessment and earned their warrior names of Willowsong and Birchstream.
-Warrior-
Considering that what had happened prior to her Vigil, the start of Willowsong’s life as a warrior went from bad to worse. As the twolegs invaded more and more of the clan territory, causing the river levels to go down and the main food source for Riverclan’s food to disappear
Whitedawn had grown distant blaming her family for her last born’s disappearance, and as a result Buzzardmoon was down. The two parents bonds were shattered for good when Whitedawn made the decision to leave clan territory for good. Willowsong’s mother was fed up of all the dead, sickness and suffering, part of her hoped to be reunited with Kestrelpaw if she moved into the twolegplace…and that was what she did. Feeling abandoned by his mate when she left Buzzardmoon began to ignore the rest of his family, instead turning towards his clanmates in hope of bringing others some happiness as his way of coping with the grief.
Birchstream on the other hand seemed unable to recover, having broken all ties with his other friends as a self-inflicted punishment. It was hard to remain optimistic under these circumstances.
Being still a young warrior with all the time in her life to spare Willowsong took it on herself to step up and fix one of the two matters. Approaching her brother she took care of giving the tom all the mental support her needed even if she didn’t particularly enjoy his company. They first started by simply talking together, and when things weren’t as painful they began to stray out and hunt, even though there was very little they could bring back it certainly put Birchstream’s mind at ease.
It had taken a small push in the right direction to create a bond between the two siblings. Under his sister’s guidance Birchstream began to lighten up, first following Willowsong’s path of moving his mind away from the accident by keeping himself occupied, but before long the tom was back to his old self. Picking up where he had left off Birchstream began hanging out with his old friends, something Willowsong was glad to see but did not accompany him to do.
Content with herself the she-cat carried on with her life, choosing to forge her own path and open up to others for once. Having learnt from the rest of her family the young warrior made the decision to lend a helping hand to any cat in her clan who needed her. There was no space for playing tricks on others like she used to, it would have been inappropriate and not something anyone deserved when many were already suffering. As a result Willowsong came to know many of her clan mate, but also was forced to watch as a great deal of them gradually died off from the illnesses that settled in.
-Senior Warrior-
Willowsong was 23 moons old when her father feel gravely ill, by then the river was completely dried out with the remaining liquid smelling funny. The only way to not die from thirst was by relying on rain water to drink from, and that combined with the lack of food made survival very difficult. With the lack of medicine cat it almost seemed as if Buzzardmoon would die a long and painful death.
Fed up with their suffering, and told that they had to leave, many cats in every clan left the destroyed territories to look for a new home. Willowsong and her brother Birchstream, remained by their father's side, not wanting to abandon the tom in his last moments of life. Things took a drastic turn however, when twolegs came along and captured all the remaining clan cats. Taking them all into cages where a variety of them were selected to be shipped away. Birchstream, who was considered "pretty", was quickly swept off to a different part of the twoleg center. All while Buzzardmoon was handled by many strange looking twolegs as he was taken somewhere else...never to been see again.
Willowsong was not alone however, as many other cats had been left behind and not taken onto the twoleg ship. Many feared for their clanmates safety, and not wanting to loose another member of her family Willowsong joined in as a group of cats worked to break out of their cages, freeing their fellow captives as they sneaked onto the ship.
It took a while to free everyone, but eventually both brother and sister were reunited, yet they were now trapped on a large freight with nowhere to go. Taking the opportunity to strive in the new environment the siblings began hunting rats that lurked among the ship's cargo, bringing half of their prey back to their clanmates.
-Deputy-
The current Riverclan leader at that time, Oakstar, a cat that had taken charge when the rest of their clan had left them behind, had taken notice of the way Willowsong worked to help her clanmates out. Having no deputy at the time the leader assigned Willowsong as the new Riverclan deputy, and thus began the deputy's work of organizing groups of cats to retrieve prey. It seemed as if the surviving clan cats had found a new life on the ship...yet things went downhill quickly as the ship sunk and all had to struggled to stay above the water. Many washed ashore on a strange island, including Birchstream, Oakstar, Reedsoul and Otterpatch. Being Riverclan cats they had the least difficulty drowning, and ended up having the come to the other clan's aid in order to keep cats alive.
The group of survivors were found by Lily that Glows, the leader of a group of cats living on the island known as "Tribe of Howling Wind". The tribe was so different yet quite similar to clans, they took the survivors in and helped them to recover to complete health. Many cats took the opportunity to get to know each other, familiarizing themselves with the tribe and other clan cats while working to heal. Yet, upon their recovery the survivors left the Tribe of Howling Wind to have a meeting and exchange their opinions on their status. There each clan cat returned to their own group. There they went their separate ways, traveling the island in search of a new camp to call home...
-Leader-
Willowsong's life as a deputy came to a quick end as Riverclan came to set up it's new camp, yet it wasn't the most ideal place to live as it was situated near what the Island cats called "The Bridge of Shadows" where the spirits of drowned tribe cats reside, ready to harm any thoughtless swimmer. Oakstar quickly went missing after going out for a swim near the reefs. The Riverclan leader was later found dead, washed to shore after having been murdered by the group of bloodthirsty spirits.
The death was enough to shake the young deputy, yet she didn't let the great change bring her down. Traveling to Moon Island she finally got the chance to meet Starclan, receiving her nine lives. There the newly made leader came into contact with her deceased father, it was a heart breaking realization but there had been nothing the twolegs could have done to heal Buzzardmoon. The Starclan warrior would await the rest of his family, promising to watch over all of them until their time came...
Upon her return Willowstar carefully appointed her new deputy, a young warrior by the name of "Reedsoul" who stood out to her for being hard working and loyal, exactly the type of cat she would need once things began to settle down and her old habits returning to haunt her...All that happening just around the same time as the angry Island cats threaten the clans for having taken a large chunk of their land.
And this is where her story begins- Well continues-
About
Personality:
+ Observant -- Willowstar has a keen sense of perception, often quick to noticing something- whether it's an issue, something someone is trying to hide or a positive thing a cat was otherwise unaware of. +Resourceful -- She is quite good at finding her way around most problems, rarely complaining and more trying to figure how to work around an obstacle. Usually this will require her cominh up with some wacky to logical ways to overcome her difficulties to solve an issue.
+Studious -- A large part of her loves to fill her mind with knowledge, as a result Willowstar will not hesitate to spend days out studying her environment or clanmates to figure out more about the world around her.
>Proud -- Willowstar takes a great deal of pleasure from her achievements, or those of someone she is closely linked to. It is easy to get on her good side merely by complimenting her for certain things she feels strongly about. >Erudite -- From all the studious investigating, Willowstar will come out as knowledgeable. Nonetheless she won't admit all she knows, rather preferring to learn even more about her surroundings.
>Deceptive -- Willowstar may come out a certain way, while underneath she is hiding some different intentions. While she always keeps her clan's interest in mind, she won't hesitate to mislead cats into believing something that may not be what it appears to be...
-Blunt -- When it comes to talking things through, Willowstar will go straight to the point, not matter the consequences her actions may have in regards to others and their feelings.
-Devious -- During her youth Willowstar was known for playing nasty tricks on cats, while she is no longer young and immature she will still use underhand tactics to achieve certain goals.
-Moody -- The downside of Willowstar's nature, especially when interacting with other cats, is that her moods are open for drastic changes from one moment to the other. This can make her quite unpredictable, as one moment she may be down, sullen and quite snappy then the other bouncy, cheerful and energetic.
Likes: Playing tricks/prank on others, Listening to the wind blow and the waves, Warm days
Dislikes: Cats who get easily annoyed, cats who don't have any form of humor whatsoever, Having to pick up after another's mess (In her eyes one who causes the mess should be the one to deal with it)
Fears: Evil spirits, the death of her surviving clanmates and family, the entire destruction of Riverclan under her leadership
Other: She is known for her past of playing tricks, as a result cats remain wary of what she may be up to. She will put her clan above herself, meaning even though what she does to achieve her goal may be "bad" her interest always prioritizes Riverclan, even before her own.
Relationships
Orientation: Bisexual
Looking: Yes|No (She isn't actively looking for someone to have a relationship with, though she's open to taking on a mate if it feels right for her and the clan)
Ideal Relationship: Someone who would understand their differences and find ways to deal with their problems by talking things through, a cat that Willowstar could rely on without putting any burden on her, Someone who cares for their clan more than all.
In terms of how quick the relationship lasts, she couldn't care less. In her eyes if it turns out to be a short one, as long as whoever she was with carries on a respectful life she is fine.

Other: I would personally prefer not RPing cats having sex, that's the only thing that really makes me uncomfortable (them talking about it before or after is fine tho). On the other hands i'm all good with gory descriptions. I've done that kind quite a lot in another group of mine, so i'm used to it.
Roleplay: (I can roleplay inner or external point of view, whichever people prefer doing)
Sample 1: Internal Point of View RP of Potential Nuzlocke Scenes with potassivm
"They need his knowledge on fossils apparently...that's what i heard one say." Taking a careful step away from Reo I picked Loiret off my shoulder and placed her on the ground.
"Frankly, i don't know if they are still there. Some left when Storm arrived to help out...i did not pay much attention to my surroundings after that so I don't know whether they all left or if one or two were still hanging around."
I thought of the sail fossil I had eventually taken from Olivier and the pokemon who could come from it...the poor creature was still dormant incased in its century old prison, "You want to get fossils? huh? The guy we were rescuing may know more about them. He gave a few to those who help him...probably still has more."
Sample 2: Omnipresent Point of View Roleplay of Seishin-Dobutsu with Ghouletic
Caine sighed and shook his head, unconvinced, he already had the feeling that many people would judge him for what he was, but he now was determined even more to keep wearing his coat, as a sign of defiance to anyone who would want to annoy him. He could always use it to his advantage...
In front of them Kishan slowed down his pace to walk next to them but kept a slightly annoyed look. As they passed a large window the boy stopped and pointed to a planet outside. "I'm sure you've heard of this planet. If you haven't well it's Earth." his expression was replaced by a sudden large worrisome smile. "Have you ever been there?"
