Devotedcrow There are legends-- visions painted of cats clad in golden auras, who've served their clan endlessly, and whose names are said with praise- and then there are curses-- the types you only wish on your worst enemy. Crow is not named for a golden pelt, or golden eyes, or cats with golden auras who died well before his time. No, his signature sable fur is dark and tussled, his gaze wild like firelight, and he speaks with the heat of a thousand suns. There's the echo of an ancient anger in his voice, something distant but still present. Rogue born but SunClan raised, his claim to this world was precarious at best owing to his original clan's perception of crows, which are omens of death in their religion and the highest form of disgrace is to bear their curse in a name. It was his mother's hope that burdening her son with this would give him the strength necessary to survive in the cold shadows of SunClan, but it gave him something even greater than that: Purpose. Crow has a heavy-footed saunter, like with every step he's stalking across hot coals with thorns embedded in his paws, and a battle-worn body for someone so young, his history immortalized in his scars. He's seen a lot in his life up until now: He's survived life in the desert, outlasted the scorn of a clan that didn't accept him, weathered the loneliness of being separated from his family and the grief of losing a sibling, endured entire moons of a wintry vigil, and soared to the heights of hope, love, and acceptance. Despite all the unfavorable cards he's been dealt, he owes everything to the cats who have helped him become who he is today and his silent vow is to emulate their actions in his own life, offering a sanctuary to the young and wayward souls so they don't have to face their challenges alone. He fights with the spirit of SummerClan and the wrath of WinterClan after having learned their styles through the teachings of his love, Orchiddrop, and his half-brother Agonywail, but he has also picked up the stealth and cunning of a rogue, once having been the head of a gang. He'd never expected to find himself amongst a clan again-- let alone one that did not see him for what his name represents-- but in SummerClan, surrounded by their hospitality and the warmth of his mate's love, Crow couldn't imagine living any other life. He earned his warrior name, Devotedcrow, to honor the devotion he showed to his family and he strives every day to uphold the meaning behind it. His heart, once ensnared by a wicked fire, has harnessed the light from the flames and now shines brighter than any star ever could.

SUMMERCLAN ACTIVITY (1-10): 10 most of my threads are here
OVERALL ACTIVITY (1-10): 8

WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE SUMMERCLAN DEPUTY?: SummerClan is my absolute favorite clan on classic now! I love the characters I have here and the fact that they've all, for the most part, been involved in relatively large scale events-- Crow with the Goldenshadow situation and the Ratsassin's Creed, Sunpaw with….all that, the beautiful besties and Satinshore's matchmaking, Pikepaw's boy band-- and honestly, becoming deputy would only give me more reason and opportunity to continue to drag everyone into them! Plus, I'd love to work closer with the staff as people and with the characters you each put so much creativity into!

WHAT CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE TO SUMMERCLAN?: Activity, event threads, creativity, DEVOTEDCROW, Sunpaw, Ratsassin's Creed, wars against inanimate objects, you name it! I have experience being a leader of multiple clans in the past and I tend to just throw everything into those clans during the entirety of my leadership!

HOW WELL WOULD YOUR CAT GET ALONG WITH RATSTAR?: Ratstar and Crow already have a unique relationship, in that Crow is deeply devoted to Ratstar. He even created the Ratsassin's Creed and erected a giant Ratstar statue in the middle of camp in his leader's honor! He has an intense desire to make his dad leader proud, and Crow feels indebted to Ratstar for the kindness he showed him even when Crow was still a rogue, for how Ratstar was the first to be honest about him about the ongoing situation between Orchiddrop and Goldenshadow, and it sure don't hurt that Ratstar is the anti-thesis to Bloodystar's tyranny, which was previously the only leadership Crow ever knew. I think their partnership would be one for the history books.

A MINI-PLOT IDEA THAT YOU COULD RUN YOURSELF: SummerClan is still reeling from the discovery that one of their own, Foolsgold, was the exact danger their isolation period was trying to prevent. Luckily, he was incapacitated before any real harm could come from it.... or was he? Now restrained to camp, he's taken particular interest in the warrior apprentices and whispers start to rise of an approaching battle, one to the death.
