| pebblefrog isn't like the other herbalists. that is, he's half-clan and perpetually flighty, making for rather interesting but good-natured interactions with this chatterbox. he is pacifistic in nature as an herbalist, and would prefer to awkwardly chat than get into any kind of conflict of any kind - even if frankness would benefit him. that being said, he's still a welcoming cat to be around - he'll always let you linger around his den if it means he can have the company. he has a great heart, always wanting to let others in. if you look beneath that squirrely demeanor, you might find something worth pursuing with him. |    |

[attr="class","catbox"]PERSONALITY
[attr="class","namebox"]
to celebrate her, even at a young age, innate prowess at navigating and digging out tunnels.
|
|
 | a strong she-cat in more than just the bodily sense, sorrelshrew is a fortuitous and passionate warrior with ambitions ready to speak into reality. with a strong moral compass and even stronger opinions, it's never a challenge to tell what she's thinking. she walks the forest with cheeky wit and pride, determined to make a name for herself in the eyes of every cat. sorrelshrew is more than just cheeky, though. she's complex, truly, with insecurities and a destiny complex she's had since she was just a kit. this can make her blunt and impulsive, ambitious to an almost risky extent - she isn't afraid to be cunning to save her name, and is often too proud to seek out the help of others, content to suffer in silence. but know this of sorrelshrew: once you've made a friend of her, she'll fight to her last breath to protect you. |
▷ sorrelshrew, in fact, comes from a long line of tunnelers - she jokes that's why her body seems perfectly fit to be underground. ▷ she's the striking image of her father, if he had her white marking - down to having the same striping on her face and tail. ▷ she doesn't understand moor runners - she much prefers the security and intimacy of the underground tunnels, where she knows where every twist and turn is. just an added bonus that she's really good at it, too. | FUN FACTS & TRIVIA |
RELIGION. sorrelshrew believes in starclan, and trusts their messages when interpreted by the leader or herbalist. though, she can grow weary of just how slow they seem to send messages in times of need - and she would much rather act on her own knowledge than wait for an omen that may never come. | POLITICS. first and foremost, sorrelshrew is loyal to windclan. should she find anyone who even remotely doubts her loyalty to the clan, she'll sit them down and give them a lecture on every reason she could be the most loyal cat in the clan. she would defend it to her dying breath on the battlefield. | ASPIRATIONS. like any bright-eyed young cat, sorrelshrew dreams of one day leading windclan. she dreams of her clanmates proudly chanting 'sorrelstar, sorrelstar!'... but of course, these are just the ambitious dreams of a, despite her goals, pragmatic-minded she-cat. |
[attr="class","catbox"]CONNECTIONS
F A M I L Y |
|
sorrelshrew's family is pretty messy. her father, antbite, cheated on honeyhen while she was expecting with a moor runner, so sorrelshrew grew up alongside the half-siblings her mother detested. antbite would not even consider young sorrelshrew as his own, which in turn meant she grew up without much support, not even from her mother with her misplaced anger. the closest she had to a parent was her mentor. | ! |
E D U C A T I O N |
|
! | sorrelshrew excelled in tunneler training and expects no less of her apprentices. she's a diligent and closeknit mentor, forming a lifelong friendship with her former charge, goldendawn. currently, she is taking on mousepaw, a meek young she-cat that the bold sorrelshrew is trying to adapt her training style for. |
L O V E L I F E |
|
! | sorrelshrew thought once that she would find a partner in her close friend and fellow tunneler, snowburrow. after he died in an unfortunate tunneling accident, she's been hesitant to try again - but wants to prove she can be better than her own parents were, even if she.. doesn't quite know how to, right now. |

THOUGHTS ABOUT WINDCLAN
JANUARY 22. WRENSTAR. LEADER, RESPECT, FRIENDLY WITH, SLIGHTLY ENVIOUS
"..."
JANUARY 22. LAVENDERFACE. DEPUTY
"..."
MARCH 29. SUNPOPPY. MEDICINE CAT, RESPECTS, ACQUAINTANCE, SECRETLY CAUTIOUS OF.
"...."
MARCH 29. HONEYHEN. MOTHER, ELDER, DISTANT, RESENTMENT, UPSET, WANTS TO IMPRESS, ALOOF
"first thing to know is, she's not mother to me. she's just honeyhen, resident crass elderly she-cat who'll snip the whiskers off an apprentice for making her nest up all wrong. there's nothing else to say. if you're going to keep asking about it, i'm going to just walk the other way, capiche?"
FEBRUARY 16. SLYSTOAT. CLANMATE, MOOR RUNNER, DISLIKE, INDIGNANT, IMPATIENT, TIRED OF
"look. he's my clanmate and all, but everyday when he goes out on patrol i hope he comes back with ants in his fur. he's made my life nothing but trouble since i was just an apprentice! imagine that, a full-grown cat beefing with an apprentice with the downy fur of kittenhood still in her face. really gives you an idea of what kind of cat he is."
JANUARY 22. MOUSEPAW. APPRENTICE, TUNNELER, CURIOUS, UNSURE ABOUT, WANTS TO KNOW BETTER
"i'm not sure what a timid cat like mousepaw wants to be a tunneler for. tunneling needs quick decision-making, and a steady mind. i think i saw her jump when a shrew skittered by once. ...but she's still my apprentice. and i owe it to her to give her the best training possible. so i'll do just that!"
THOUGHTS ABOUT RIVERCLAN
JANUARY 22. TROUTSTAR. RIVERCLAN LEADER, INDIFFERENT, WARY OF.
"i don't know what it is about that cat, but i don't trust them much. sure, not trusting the leader of an enemy clan is expected, but.. i don't know. swear, once at a gathering he looked like he had scales under the moon. not like a fish, either; like a snake. but don't go around telling cats i said that."
JANUARY 22. LARCHTAIL. SHADOWCLAN WARRIOR, UNEASE, ANGER, DISTANT, WANTS TO KNOW
"..."
THOUGHTS ABOUT THUNDERCLAN
AUGUST 01, 2021. SEEDSTAR. THUNDERCLAN LEADER, INDIFFERENT.
"
THOUGHTS ABOUT OTHERS
MARCH 19. BUCKWHEAT. NEUTRAL, LOOKS DOWN ON, DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.
"that barn tom really sure likes pushing his luck. never caught him deliberately crossing over, but he sure likes to sit right on those markers and chat up any cat silly enough to pass by. i don't understand how a cat could be so content to live by themselves! but he's fine, as long as he stays on his side of that fenceline, got it?"
THOUGHTS ABOUT THE DEAD
MARCH 29. GORSEKIT & HEATHERKIT. LITTERMATES, UNSURE, CAN'T REMEMBER.
"why are you asking about it? i can't so much as remember their faces. i wonder, though.. if they hadn't died, maybe honeyhen wouldn't have become so... sorrelshrew makes a vague demeaning gesture with her forepaw. y'know? but hey, no use crying over a spoiled mouse.."
MARCH 29. SNOWBURROW. CLANMATE, CLOSE CHILDHOOD FRIEND, MISSES DEEPLY, ROMANTIC INTEREST.
"..a year's gone by and it still aches like it happened yesterday. frost, i should've- i should've been on that patrol. it should've been me and not him. he had so many dreams, you know? and i did too, but i think they might have.. died with him? stars. stars, don't tell any cat i just said that, or i'll line my nest with your fur, i swear. i've got to be strong."
