INTERVIEWEE NAMES Q - Z
RATSTAR'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by gidgetgal
1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
Ain't much t' say, really. Wasn't much...I was the only kit that lived t' eat fresh meat; not particularly uncommon, considering the circumstances an where we lived. I don' remember much of my sibs, honestly. My parents, though...a good, fine pair they were. No special doting or the like, but they took care o' me, which is more than a lot o' cats in twolegplace can say 'bout their folks. I would stay with my Ma fer days on end while my Pa went out huntin' fer us. Then one day, my Ma never woke up, and my Pa raised me from there - taught me how t' hunt and survive. Once I was big enough, I took off on my own, though I always seemed to run into Pa one way or another.
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
...Up t' now? It was pretty early on in my leadership, a kit - the tiniest 'lil youngin' - snuck out o' camp one night an accidentally drowned 'imself. Was a real sobering moment fer me, fer sure. First time it truly sunk in that all these lives in the clan depend on me...an that jus' because food's more plentiful 'ere, don't mean it's any less dangerous.
3. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
Heh, I suppose ya could say that. Truth be told, there's a gal who caught my eye from the first moment I set paw in Summerclan, at first jus' 'cause she was a cheerful face t' be around, but then I started t' notice that 'er mouth an 'er eyes say two different things. I don' know if you'd call it love quite yet, but she's interestin' and a ton o' fun t' be around. I never know what she's gonna do or say next - an it keeps me comin' back fer more.
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
I like ta think o' myself as more o' a talker than a fighter, but I suppose it'll take a lot more than runnin' my mouth t' lead a clan, so we'll jus' have ta see.
10. Who is your role model?
My ol' man. I always go t' my Pa when I'm in a pickle an need advice. I wouldn't be where I am today without 'im.
RAVENEYE’S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by hals1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
My childhood is not one full of rainbows and happiness. It was hard and I had to survive. My mother abandoned me a birth due to my blind eye and I never knew my father. I had an adoptive father who was a loner. He raised me and taught me how to live on my own, but he did give me some good memories and taught me to always enjoy the little things in life. They can never last.
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
The scariest moment in my life was when my adoptive father, Midnight, was killed by a lone wolf. We were travel through the mountains and it attacked us. He sacrificed himself to save me.
3. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
No. I have not fallen in love. I spent most of my time travelling alone before joining Nightclan and even then, there was never anyone who caught my eye. I am still young though. My ideal mate is someone who is determined and never lets anything get in their way. They overcome any obstacle in life and live it to the fullest. They are sweet and charming while also knowing how to have fun.
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
Hopefully not. Everything I say, I intend to do. My word is never taken for granted.
5. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
He would be my worst enemy. I have done many things I am not proud of.
6. In your opinion, what is the worse thing a person could do to another person?
End their life. The act of killing another person should only be done as a last resort or self-defense. One must try to de-escalate situations before resorting to taking a life.
7. If you could watch everything that happened to you in life until now, would you enjoy it?
Some parts. Others I would rather not relive.
8. What are your phobias and how did you get them?
Snakes. They creep me out and are extremely gross. One crawled into my nest once and I almost had a heart attack.
9. If you could change the world for the better what would that look like?
Peaceful. Everyone would get along and solve problems through discussions and compromise instead of wars.
10. Who is your role model?
My adoptive father. He saved me. More than once.
11. What was a time you felt the lowest and how did you get through it?
The lowest point in my life was when I realized I was truly on my own. I had barely enough knowledge on how to survive in the world and I was scared. I kept thinking about Midnight and what he would want me to do and that got me through it.
12. Tell me about a pivotal or crazy time in your life entirely from your point of view
A pivotal point in my life was the first time I had to use my claws to get out of a situation. There were these three rouges who decided that I looked like an easy enough target and demanded that I give them my hunting catch from the day. I, of course, said no and they were very insisted. I tried to reason and even offered to help them gather their own prey, but they did not listen. One attacked me and I fought back. Eventually, I swung my claws toward his muzzle, catching him in the eye. When he and the others were distracted, I bolted away. And lost the prey I gathered. It is not a very fond memory I have.
RHYMINGSILENCE'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by flurryofstars
1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
My upbringing was pretty average I think. I don't remember much about my parents, but they loved Etherealblink and I. When I was a kit, I was friends with everyone in the nursery, but things changed when I was an apprentice. I was so focused on training, that everything else got swept to the side. Anyone that was my friend or wanted to be, didn't have a chance. Even now, as a warrior, I have a hard time socializing with others. I'm the oddball. The guy that's out training till sundown or bug-watching any other time. Even my sister and I aren't as close as we used to be.
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
Preparing for the surprise birthday party for Hystericstar was terrifying! I had this awful idea to decorate the camp with beetles and caterpillars... They were so beautiful, but hardly any of them survived that night. It's one of my biggest regrets in life and it will be the last time I ask Swordstrike for help! -sniffles-
3. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
Pfft, no! I can hardly even look at a she-cat without dying. Even toms are hard to talk to. If I did fall in love, the cat would have to figure out a way to communicate with me first and they'd have to take the initiative. I'm way too busy with my hobbies as it is.
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
I'll have done way more! Talking is too hard.
5. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
After the bug fiasco... I deserve karma as my enemy.
6. In your opinion, what is the worse thing a person could do to another person?
If someone beat me in a fight, I'd be crushed. So this must be the worst thing for everyone, right?
7. If you could watch everything that happened to you in life until now, would you enjoy it?
No. I don't want to spend time in the past. The future is what I'm building towards!
8. What are your phobias and how did you get them?
She-cat's are horrifying! They make my heart beat twice as fast and I can't think of any words around them. I don't know what they're doing to me, but they need to stop it! Why am I the only one they seem to effect with their magic...?
9. If you could change the world for the better what would that look like?
The world would be filled with bugs as big as us! They would be able to talk too. Then, no one could step on them and the world would be a happier place.
10. Who is your role model?
I don't think I have one actually...
11. What was a time you felt the lowest and how did you get through it?
Please stop reminding me!
12. Tell me about a pivotal or crazy time in your life entirely from your point of view
There was this one time that I was out training in the woods and a she-cat, Wistfuldancer, came out and started talking to me. I was super freaked out at first, but I was actually able to respond to her! We had a whole conversation! I didn't know I could do that.
SHIELDHEART'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by flurryofstars
1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
My brother and I were born in FallClan. Our mom died when we were two moons, and dad and us left to figure things out. She didn't just die. Something killed her, and we spent our childhood looking for it. Swordy didn't like it. He was always fighting with dad about having to move around all of the time. Eventually, he left and it was just dad and I. Then it was just me for a while. I hadn't seen dad for a few days so I went back for Swordy. He was with a girl, of course. If dad wasn't gone, my brother wouldn't have come back. But we went looking for him and after a while, we found him. It didn't last long. The way things turned out was my fault, and when he died... Well, we got revenge for that. My brother lost his girl too, so we came back to FallClan after that.
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
Tell ya the truth, there's been a lot of scary moments. I can't just pick one.
3. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
Nope and it's not gonna happen. There's too much of me to go around, if you get what I'm saying?
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
I'll have done way more.
5. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
Let's just say, if karma was a person, we'd be mates at least once.
6. In your opinion, what is the worse thing a person could do to another person?
Depends on the person.
7. If you could watch everything that happened to you in life until now, would you enjoy it?
No. I don't know why anyone would want to watch my life.
8. What are your phobias and how did you get them?
Heights. So many things could go wrong.
9. If you could change the world for the better what would that look like?
Everyone would be safe.
10. Who is your role model?
Dad. He was a strong fighter and a great hunter. Everything I know came from him.
11. What was a time you felt the lowest and how did you get through it?
Like I said before, lotta low points, but I just keep everything inside and keep my mind busy. Getting my paws a little dirty helps a lot
12. Tell me about a pivotal or crazy time in your life entirely from your point of view
There was this one time, where I ran into a couple of kittypets. Real pretty ragdolls with blue eyes. Twins I think. Now that was crazy.
SILVERFRINGE'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by racer
1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
As the daughter of the High Priestess and a Janus, me and my siblings always had everything that we needed or wanted well at least after mom took over SunClan from Foxbane. Apparently when were first born, Foxbane was insane and was trying to kill us to hurt our mother. I don't really remember any of that though. I mostly remember that mom and dad were always very over protective over us, but she was also pulled away from us to attend to SunClan duties. It became a competition between me and my siblings for her time and affection.
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
The scariest moment in my life, was when Bloodystar dragged my mother out in front of the clan. As soon as he said her name, I knew that what was going to happen next wasn't going to be good. Even though I was furious with him at the time, I'm glad Sorrowfularia whisked me out of camp when he did. I never got to even tell my parents that I was pregnant... Sorrowfularia doesn't want me getting involved for the safety of our unborn kits, but its very hard knowing that my parents and siblings are locked up.
3. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
I don't know that I would call it true love, but Sorrowfularia has been a wonderful mate to me. They are always thinking about the safety and happiness of our growing family, and trying to protect me from the horrors of this world. Sorrowfularia has worked hard to earn my trust, and has earned every ounce of it.
5. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
My best friend, because Bloodystar is going to get what is coming for him for what he did to my family.
SNOWTHORN’S INTERVIEWroleplayed by flurryofstars1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing:
My parents were hardly in the picture. My mother died only a moon or two after I was born. The labor was hard on her, and her health only declined from then on. So I’ve been told. My father, on the other paw, died in battle when I was a young apprentice. I don’t remember my mother too well, but he was a stoic warrior. Battle called to him like a moth to a flame. They were both Imperials though, and proud of their pure bloodline, so it has always been my goal to carry on their legacy. Other than that, I was just as foolish as your average kit and made friends as an apprentice. Although, I had very high standards.
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
The scariest moment of my life was when I was an apprentice just about to be promoted. My temporary class had been that of a peacekeeper, and I didn’t want to get stuck as something so average. For the duration of the tests, I was scared I wouldn’t be placed any better or that I might have even been sorted as a maverick. Luckily, I received the same class as my parents.
3. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
I’ve never fallen in love, but love isn’t important. What matters is finding a mate with a high status in DayClan that can bear many kits. My kits, this time. Some of the she-cats these days, let me tell you! But the purer the blood, the better and if they’re not an Imperial, then they should be in the Bright Brigade at the very least.
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
I feel that there will be a happy balance, but words are mightier than claws if you’d ask me. So if I had to choose, I might say more than do more.
5. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
Since I’ve never wronged anyone in my life and have always looked out for everyone’s best interests, karma would be a best friend I feel.
6. In your opinion, what is the worst thing a person could do to another person?
I’ll give the cop-out answer here and say that the worst thing someone could do is take away what’s most important to another. For example, if someone’s whole life was dedicated to someone else, then to kill that someone would have an awfully devastating effect.
7. If you could watch everything that happened to you in life until now, would you enjoy it?
I might. Though it may seem a bit dull for the most part, it would show me all of my previous successes. Of my few failures, I could learn from the mistakes and think about how to right the wrongs I went through.
8. What are your phobias and how did you get them?
I don’t know if I really have a phobia, but my greatest fear is loss of control. I suppose it stems from my ambitious desires to be just as glorified as my parents. I think it’s a perfectly reasonable fear to have.
9. If you could change the world for the better what would that look like?
I couldn’t care less about the world. Ask me how to change my clan for the better, and then I’ll have an answer for you.
10. Who is your role model?
My mother. The stories I’ve heard about her makes her out to be an excellent strategist and tracker. She had a lot of input as an Imperial, and a kind heart.
11. What was a time you felt the lowest and how did you get through it?
Being made to apologize to some half-clan kits by order of my peacekeeper ex. As embarrassing as it was, I know I’ll give back just as much as she gave on that one.
12. Tell me about a pivotal or crazy time in your life entirely from your point of view
A pivotal time in my life was when I was an apprentice. Unlike me, my sister had been given the temporary class of socialite. She was obnoxiously bossy and openly pestered anyone below her during that time. She had made an absolute fool of herself and I could see her peacekeeper placement a mile away. I stopped interacting with her long before our tests, and couldn’t be happier. Distancing myself from her was one of the best decisions I could have made in order to maintain my reputation in DayClan.
SOOTPAW'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by cookie
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
Probably not. I'm all action no words these days.
5. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
My best friend. Cats get what's coming to them, and even if I did something wrong, a good friend would tell you so regardless. I'd deserve it probably.
6. In your opinion, what is the worse thing a person could do to another person?
Easy. Abandoning them. It's pathetic and loyalty means so much to me.
SUNNYPAW’S INTERVIEWroleplayed by consuela1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
Oh I had the best time! I always played tagged with my brothers and sister and I was a CHAMPION wrestler! No one could beat me! My mom and dad always encouraged me, especially my mom. She is my biggest fan!
2. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
Pffft- Love is for grown ups who have too much time on their hands. I am going to be the best warrior Springclan has seen! I don't have time for all that mushy stuff Blossompaw talks about- YUCK!
3. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
When i'd get in trouble as a kit, my mom always told me Karma would come back and bite me on the tail, but I'm not worried. I am the son of a Springclan leader! I'd beat Karma in a wrestling match any day!
4. In your opinion, what is the worse thing a person could do to another person?
I think killing is pretty horrible. I believe we should defend our clan with our lives of course, but my dad said that Starclan is the one and only decider of fates. No cat should willingly make that decision to take another cat's life.
5. If you could watch everything that happened to you in life until now, would you enjoy it?
I would say yes. I think I was very lucky to have been born in Springclan. I have the best of friends, the most loyal siblings, the coolest parents and the strongest and wisest clan mates I could ask for! Starting from my days playing around Springclan as a kit to having apprentice training in Summerclan, I'd like to think I've had a fun and cool life!
6. What are your phobias and how did you get them?
HA! Me, scared? As if. I am the bravest cat in my litter! No one and nothing can ever get the best of- *hiss in the background* IS THAT A SNAKE?!!
7. If you could change the world for the better what would that look like?
I would like all the clans to work together. We've recently lost many, good Springclan cats due to a pointless attack. What I would like to see is the clans and groups work together to help make day to day life more peaceful. Plus, wouldn't it be cool if we can do monthly wrestling matches with the other clans?! Some friendly competition is always so much fun!
8. Who is your role model?
My dad for sure! He is the best leader of all time. He is so strong and cool especially when he leads the Clan ceremonies. I want to be a Springclan leader just like he is, but I am not as calm and level-headed like he is. BUT- my mom says that is what makes me unique! So when I lead Springclan like my dad, I'll bring something new to the table.
SUNNYSMILE'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by strawberrycupid
1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
-- Oh, no. Why don't you tell me about your's? I guess that's not the point of an interview though, huh? I was a Priestess Promised and a Janus' kit, so it always was the high life. If you really wanna call it that. Lots of lessons, I probably learned more about the Sun God in my first 6 moons than the rest of the clan. It was good, we had a lot of fun and my parents loved us very much.
9. If you could change the world for the better what would that look like?
-- Hmm. I'd hope a lot more people would be willing to help each other. That's always been my thing, but it sometimes feels like I'm the only one. So I'd like there to be less fighting and more comradely. And more happiness. It's so easy to get down, and I really just wanna make everyone smile. If we could do that, I think the world could be a better place.
10. Who is your role model?
-- Hi. How has your day been? My role model? Probably my dad. He's been through a lot but he's the kind of cat I wanna be. Kind, strong, loyal. The normal things you look for in a role model. Maybe also cause he would let me come in late for lessons cause i was always scavenging for breakfast after giving mine to someone else. Not that they ever let me go hungry.
SWORDSTRIKE'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by flurryofstars
1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
I was born in FallClan with my older brother, Shieldheart. When we were only a couple of moons old, our mom died. Our dad took us from the clan and we traveled around until we were about 18 moons old. That's when he passed as well, and Shieldheart and I returned to FallClan. I don't agree with everything that happened. We were too young to be around so much danger, and dad was always leaving us in some bush while he did his thing. We didn't have a childhood. Not like everyone else's anyway. And once we were adults, dad just vanished one day. When we found him, well... Things are better now.
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
The scariest moment in my life, was when my mate died. I was out with Shieldheart, looking for dad, and when I got back she was just...
3. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
I was in love once, but I lost her. It's my fault she's gone, but I'm trying to be optimistic. That was a long time ago and I'm ready to move on if I can. I don't have an ideal mate in mind, but if it happens it will feel natural and right.
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
I'll have done a lot more. Whether it was my choice or not.
5. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
I think karma would hate me.
6. In your opinion, what is the worse thing a person could do to another person?
Death is the worst thing a person could bring to another. Whether it's to them or someone they love.
7. If you could watch everything that happened to you in life until now, would you enjoy it?
Definitely not.
8. What are your phobias and how did you get them?
Don't ask how I know what these are, but clowns. I really don't like them.
9. If you could change the world for the better what would that look like?
The world would be a better place if there was no fighting. No evil left.
10. Who is your role model?
I hate to say it. I really do. But probably my brother.
11. What was a time you felt the lowest and how did you get through it?
After my mate died, all I could do was blame myself. If I had been with her, could I have stopped it? Could I have helped her? If I never would have met her, she'd still be alive. After it happened, I was a mess. I couldn't think straight and I couldn't move on. All I had was my brother and time. Those things together got me back to where I needed to be eventually.
12. Tell me about a pivotal or crazy time in your life entirely from your point of view
I'm not going to go into detail here. But there was a time when everything that happened to mom, my mate, dad, and us worked itself out. I don't feel better about it, but I know all of the bad things can't happen again.
TATTEREDRAVEN'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by phantom
1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
"I didn't have the worst childhood, but it was far from perfect for sure. I was small and skinny, spent most of my kithood sick and it left little hope in my parents that I would accomplish much so they stopped trying... I knew it was hard for them to have a child like me and so I did my best to stay out of their way. As an apprentice I wasnt much better, but I never gave up, I worked hard and I trained day and night to strengthen myself. I wanted to show my parents and everyone that I wasnt a waste of space or just another useless mouth they had to feed, after my parents passed away I didn't stop reaching for my goals, in fact I worked even harder. I'm not the weak kit I used to be, i only hope that they can see that."
3. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
"I've not yet had the chance to experience what love feels like, but I've seen it all around me. I suppose my ideal mate would be someone who is caring, but still able to take charge if the situation called for it, I dont run from difficulties, I work through them and I'd expect the same from my partner."
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
"Would I have said more than I've done? Absolutely not, I wouldn't be where I am now if I had simply relied on my words, in fact I'd probably be dead."
TINYMUTINY'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by racer
Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
All I wanted was to please my mother, but nothing I ever did was good enough. She had unrealistic expectations, wanting us to become ruthless killers and assassins. When we didn't live up to these expectations we were punished, and severely. It created a rift between me and my mother, and even though she is trying to make amends it will take a long time before I am ready to place my trust in her.
What are your phobias and how did you get them?
Look, you speak of this to anyone and I will slit you open from chin to tail. Got it? Ok good. I don't like feeling confined and helpless... The feeling of no matter how hard you struggle or fight that there is no way out. I'd like for everyone to believe that it came from that one time my mother buried myself and Oakshade alive in a stone cavern to make us talk, but it started way before then. When I was a kit my mother would use paralyzing herbs on us, so that we couldn't fight back when she would punish us for even the slightest slip ups. Having to sit there watching and feeling everything she did without even being able to fight back...
Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
As hard as I tried to push the feelings away at first, yes I am in love with my mate Oakshade. I would like to say that is was a pleasant experience, but I would be lying. You see he was a MoonClan cat, and I a daughter of a former High Priestess. The sun and the moon, set to be enemies and yet for some reason Oakshade as drawn to me like a moth to a flame. I tried over and over again to rid myself of him, to push any feelings I may have to the side so that he could stay safely away from my clan and crazy family. Yet, every time I turned around he was there waiting for me with those big eyes and an even bigger heart. He saw right through me, not caring how many times that I rejected him or told him to run. He refused to accept my denial, until one day were forced into each others lives... not by fate, but by my mother... Even though she is terrible, pushing Oakshade into my life is one thing that I am grateful for.
VIXENPAW'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by novaamaro
1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
Both my parents were loners. Their names were Crimson and Thistle. We were pretty happy with our lives. My father taught me everything I would need to know in order to survive. I was almost seven moons old when he died. He had disappeared one day and just never came back. We found him on the side of a two leg path. He had been hit by a monster. My mother, who was expecting her second litter at the time, was heartbroken. She had her kits early. Only one of them survived, my brother Ravenskit. My mother become a bit of a hollow shell after that. She never really recovered after my father’s death. I ended up hunting a lot for the three of us. Leaf-bare was the the hardest. I would give up what I would find so that my mother could feed my little brother. We moved around a lot too to try and stay away from the clan cats. But one day, I came back and my mother was gone. She was killed and had died right outside our little burrow. I’m not sure what killed her. I was too scared to find out. Ravenskit wouldn’t stop crying… I grabbed him and ran as far as I could and ended up joining Fallclan with him. It was our safest option
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
The scariest moment of my life was realizing the responsibility I had after my mother died. I didn’t know how to take care of a kit. I was scared that I would mess up so badly and lose the only family member I had left. I think I’m doing okay now. At least there are the queens and nursery aids to help take care of Ravenskit. Though, I’m still not so sure about the Fallclan cats… I don’t think they would hurt him… but we’re still loners at the end of the day…
11. What was a time you felt the lowest and how did you get through it?
I was traveling through the mountains with Ravenskit, before we managed to join Fallclan. We had gotten caught in a blizzard. I had seen the signs before the storm came, but I ignored it thinking we had time before it got bad. I was wrong. Ravenskit wouldn’t stop shivering as I carried him, and I had gotten so cold I couldn’t feel my paws anymore. I thought we were done for. I thought I had successfully just signed off on our deaths. I wanted to just curl up with Ravenskit and cry as loudly as he was. But I couldn’t. I had to stay strong for him. Everything I did, I did for him and I just had to remember that. So, I pushed on and ignored the ache in my paws until I found an opening in the side of the mountain. I had never moved so fast in my life, which was hard considering my paws were practically frozen. Once we were inside, I tried warming Ravenskit up. We stayed inside that cave for days until the storm passed.
12. Tell me about a pivotal or crazy time in your life entirely from your point of view
Out of everything I’ve been through, joining Fallclan was definitely the craziest time in my life. I had only ever heard rumors about clan cats, and none of them had been good. My mother and father told me I had to stay far away from them because of how territorial they were. They didn’t take kindly to loners on their lands. But when I walked into the camp, it wasn’t like anything I had ever imagined. I had never seen so many cats in one place before. Everything seemed so… organized and peaceful. It almost seemed too good to be true. It still is. I was lucky that they let me stay with Ravenskit in the nursery for the first few days until I was adjusted to their way of life… well… as adjusted as I could be. I’m still not used to how everything is here. I’m so used to doing things on my own it almost seems impossible trying to let another cat help me… Ravenskit loves it here though, so I try to make it work for him…
WINDCHASER'S INTERVIEW
roleplayed by spot
1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
Um, well, I didn't know my parents. They died long before I could remember. Dayclan found me and raised me up. I'd say it was pretty normal besides not actually having parents. I definitely felt connected to Glowstar, she was my inspiration. She taught me so much and I would always be eternally grateful to her. I learned my talent at a young age. I always knew I loved running, I just never realized how fast I was until I became an apprentice and began competing with the other apprentices. Because I knew my talent early on, I was able to use it to my advantage and excelled in it. As for being raised up, I can't say much. It was a pretty boring upbringing until I met the love of my life, Illuminatedpath, as an apprentice. He turned my life upside down and made every day worth living.
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
The scariest moment of my life would have to be the day I lost my kits to Fox. I was completely helpless and couldn't do what a mother should, protect them. And it was the scariest thing I ever had to deal with.
3. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
Of course I have fallen in love! I fell in love with my childhood best friend, Illuminatedpath, and we have been inseparatable since the very beginning! And I wouldn't have it any other way! I met him when we were just apprentices. We were facing a "ghost cat" within the tunnels and we brought each other comfort in the darkest parts of the tunnels. We realized pretty quickly that we completed each other and would always be friends. Didn't know until we were warriors that we both wanted to be more than just friends until I finally asked! Ha!
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
I definitely would have done more than said. As Flamingstar mentioned, Actions Speak Louder Than Words and that couldn't be closer to the truth.
5. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
I think we would get along alright! I'd say we could probably be friends.
6. In your opinion, what is the worse thing a person could do to another person?
Definitely the worst thing you could do to someone is murder the people they love. -side eyes Foxbane-
7. If you could watch everything that happened to you in life until now, would you enjoy it?
I'd say it would make a pretty cute and powerful story. I would love if it was shared for moons to come. It's a great lesson learned but definitely not the most upbeat story.
8. What are your phobias and how did you get them?
Phobias? Well, I know of one. Sunclan. And we all know why I can't stand Sunclan! -side eyes Foxbane again- It would take a lot for me to forgive Sunclan for everything they have done.
9. If you could change the world for the better what would that look like?
The world would revolve around honor and nobility.
10. Who is your role model?
Glowstar, paws down!
11. What was a time you felt the lowest and how did you get through it?
I felt the lowest when I lost my kits to Foxbane. It hurt but I had the support from my family, my mate, my leader, and my clan. I couldn't have done it without them. They were the light in my darkness.
12. Tell me about a pivotal or crazy time in your life entirely from your point of view
A crazy time in my life? Well, I don't even know which to choose! I think the craziest time in my life would be the time we were taken under Sunclan's control. That was pretty wild. It was scary, too. A lot of us suffered, myself included. But we never would have broken free if it weren't for the trust and love we had for each other. That's what was our super power. Something Sunclan didn't have. Love, trust, and friendship! Without that, we never would have made it through together. We may still be under Sunclan's control. I will forever cherish that beautiful and crazy time in my life.
WINTERSHINE’S INTERVIEWroleplayed by ashestoashes1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing.
Well it was like any normal childhood...I grew up in a loving family and they had a nurturing kind of upbringing. They always said to be yourself, to be open minded of the world, and to see the beauty in everything (both big and small.)
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
Probably when I ventured into the world on my own. I wasn't sure where to go or what to do, but instead I followed what my heart said. I eventually bumped into a patrol and joined this wonderful clan.
3. Have you ever fallen in love, if so what was that like and if not who is the ideal mate for you?
A. I'd love to fall in love, but haven't met the feline yet. For me...I just want a mate that will always be themselves around me. I'm not picky really. It all realize what my heart chooses and I'll know when it happens. Positive about it.
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
I do whatever whenever the moment moves me.
5. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
I think we would get along, I'm typically a friendly feline.
6. In your opinion, what is the worse thing a person could do to another person?
I think not being honest in general...not only to the person but also to themselves.
7. If you could watch everything that happened to you in life until now, would you enjoy it?
For the most part yes. There would be some sad moments but they had to happen to get to where I am at now.
8. What are your phobias and how did you get them?
Hmmm, I'd say one phobia I have is to lose the joys I feel in life. To feel nothing, but the deepest darkest holes depression has to offer. It's something my sibling suffered from and it made me so sad I couldn't help him with it.
9. If you could change the world for the better what would that look like?
I'd love to see a world of peace...a world where everyone enjoys the world around them and even themselves and other. To love them as who they are.
10. Who is your role model?
Good question...I'd say my father. I was really close to him and he helped me to be who I am now.
11. What was a time you felt the lowest and how did you get through it?
When I lost my sibling. I struggled to deal with that loss but eventually came to the realization he is never gone. One day we will meet again and I can finally be there for him.
12. Tell me about a pivotal or crazy time in your life entirely from your point of view
Probably when I first joined the clan. My family came from a barn and to learn clan life with all the rules...seeing some battles...it was different. But I don't regret joining. It's an amazing place to be in.
WOLFPAW'S INTERVIEW

1. Tell us about your childhood and upbringing
It was nothing special, not really. My parents used to live in WinterClan as prisoners or something and immigrated to SunClan many moons before I was born. I've lived a pretty normal life up until now. I'm told SunClan hasn't been this peaceful for this long but of course Bloodystar just took over and broke that streak so who knows what is going to happen next.
2. What was the scariest moment in your life?
One I was left alone with Foxbane and told to help her dispose of a body. She literally dissolved it in acid. And that cat she killed wasn't even that much older than me. I thought I'd never get the smell out of my fur...
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
Honestly, I'm feeling very targeted right now, but sure I'll admit it, I'll probably have said move than I've done. I'm the kind of cat that goes with the flow, you know? When I was younger I wanted to be High Priest one day but the older I get the more of a hassle I see it being. I just like to relax in a sunny spot with a full stomach and sleep the day away. Now that my parents are gone, I feel like I may just finally get to live out that simple dream. I just wish that everyone would stop fussing so much about big bad Bloodystar and let him do whatever he wants. It's easier. Before long I'm sure Foxbane will get him anyway, she always does get what she wants.
YUCCABLOSSOM'S INTERVIEW

5. If karma was a person would he be your best friend or worse enemy?
Karma is a fickle thing. Im not even sure that I believe in it. I've seen terrible things happen to "good" cats and great things happen to "bad" cats. The scale isn't balanced and the world isn't so simple. While I love the idea of karma, so far I haven't seen him be very fair. So, would I be his best friend or worst enemy? If I had to pick one or the other, I think I'd be the enemy, only because I want all cats to feel good and be happy despite their checkered pasts. Everyone deserves a free second, third and fourth chance.
6. In your opinion, what is the worse thing a person could do to another person?
The worst thing a person can do to another person is give up on them. I see it happen frequently and it breaks my heart every time. How do you expect a cat who has made bad choices to ever come out of it when all backs are turned away from him? While it's possible to become better all on your own, it's a heck of a lot easier to do it was a strong support system.
10. Who is your role model?
Glowstar. While there are still some things I would change about the way she runs DayClan, I love that she welcomes cats from all walks of life without any question. Many of my clanmates were upset when she allowed the SunClan refugees - including Foxbane - into the Clan without hesitation, but she stuck to her guns just like she always does and eventually things did smooth over. She doesn't let others' opinions cloud her judgement but she certainly listens to them. She is also a fantastic cook!
But I suppose I would want a mate who really cared about our family and about Nib especially. She is my whole world.
