Claimed !
Many Dahon healers are traumatised from the things they have had to heal, especially as their own deputy died after loosing two of her legs and having to have half of one be deemed useless. And she practically worshipped the Monarchy. But still, you have to tend to your gardens, hoping that they’ll bloom in time. If not, then you have nothing to show them, and you might as well be asking to be punished.
Can we start roleplaying?
When your character is accepted !
Oops😳
Where do you accept characters?😅😬
There’s a page where Maple’s posted a form you fill out with the character’s details. Reply to her post with your character’s form and once she replies to yours with “Accepted!” or something like that, you can start roleplaying.
Here’s the link to the page –

Sand Stuck Upon Foot – Imma call her Sand when I’m roleplaying ’cause it’s easier
Sand blinked, her white paw twitching nervously. She had only been leader fora few days. She couldn’t believe she was leader of Dahon. She stared at the ground. She wasn’t made for this! She’d never imagined…
She sighed and glanced up at her garden. She relaxed slightly as she reached out with a paw and touched a borage flower. Her garden was the only thing that made her feel sane.
Thymenose –
Thymenose walked among the flowers, brushing her tail against the stems as she passed. Gritting her teeth as her lame paw hit against a rock, she hauled her shoulder up , straining at the weight of the loosely hanging paw. Bowing her head as she approached her leader, the brown tabby cat sat down and admired Sand’s crop of flowers. The borage was looking beautiful, hopefully all the flowers would still be in bloom by the time the Monarchy visited.
“How are you Sand ?” Thymenose asked, as she let her lame paw rest on the ground, letting out a sigh of relief. Finally that weight was lifted.
Sand Stuck Upon Foot
(when role-playing call her Sand, but if your character is talking to her, please call her Sand Stuck Upon Foot)
Sand jerked her head up.
“Oh, hello Thymenose. I’m doing well.” She glanced back down at her garden. “How is your garden?”
She forced her eyes to avoid Thymenose’s paw. She always found it difficult to talk to Thymenose… She had to force herself not to look at her paw.
(Sorry, I kind of imagine it in Thymenose’s character that she shortens everyone’s names, because she thinks it’s like making a nickname but really it just annoys most cats !)
Thymenose –
Noticing Sand’s averted gaze, she sighed again. Cats thought it made it less noticeable then staring at her paw, but really it just drove in the fact that cats felt embarrassed looking at it. What joy.
“It’s beginning to bloom, but not as much as yours ! Ever since you took the name Sand Stuck Upon Foot, your garden seems to coated in colour ! Maybe it’s the leader’s gift !”
As the leaders gaze remained straight forward, the younger she cat took in a deep breath, praying that her leader didn’t take what she was about to say as an offence
“Sand Stuck Upon Foot, you don’t need to avert your eyes from my paw. I know it looks strange…. but it actually makes it feel worse if cats stare off into space. Everyone does it, it just…” she hung her head, a little embarrassed
“It just makes me feel like it’s a bad thing. I was always told it was good I managed this well, yet it never feels like it when cats can’t even look at it.”
Sand Stuck Upon Foot – (That sounds good!)
Sand forced her gaze up at Thymenose. She took a deep breath.
“I’m sorry, Thymenose. I suppose…” She hesitated for a moment, before glancing up at Thymenose. She’d never truly had a friend in any of the clans, not even her own. She’d become deputy from skill only, not because she had cats supporting her along the way. She’d always worried that no one likes her, no one wanted to be her friend… She was different, that’s what she’d told herself, and once she became leader, it had only reinforced the feeling that she was set apart… But maybe… Maybe a friend… That is, if Thymenose wanted to be her friend…
“I suppose I’m just so worried about doing the right thing. I don’t want to offend any cat, but I’m constantly concerned I’ll do the wrong thing.”
Thymenose –
As Sand apologised, Thymenose felt a little sorry for even bringing it up at all. Sometimes she said things, and then immediately regretted it, and that was this moment.
“It’s ok, the best thing to do if you are confused is just ask. When……”
Thymenose debated something, most cats in the clan knew that she hadn’t been born a girl, but they didn’t really know the whole story that she had gone through
“When I first told the clan I was girl, not a boy, cats still called me a tom. And I think…. I think that my life would have been a whole lot easier if they had just asked. Just taken the time to notice that I tried to hold my body the way she cats did, and that I left flowers behind my ear to make me look more like a girl and just checked. Just checked that I was a boy or a girl instea do assuming.”
Looking back at Sand, she sighed again, moving her non lame paw in calming circles across the ground, which was a struggle a she’s had to try and support the other one so she didn’t topple.
“If you ask, you are never doing anything wrong. If you don’t mind me asking something, do you want to be friends ? I often see you sitting here alone, like you prefer the company of the plants, but sometimes, to truly learn, you need to talk to others, and have a friend.”
Sand Stuck Upon Foot –
Sand blinked in surprise as she listened to Thymenose. She realized she didn’t even know the cats of her own clan that much. Maybe a leader should be more connected with her cats.
“I would like that.” she said, surprising herself with the purr that came out of her mouth.
Her mind began to wander. She didn’t ever really worry too much about her cats, but now… She should probably make sure everyone’s gardens were doing well. She didn’t want to be the next one to go missing…
And now she was starting to look forward to being a leader to these cats.
She was leader of Dahon.
She smiled at Thymenose. Who could have known that all she needed was a friend to feel confident?
“Thymenose, thank you,” she purred. Another cat popped up in her head. “Would you mind if I run off? I want to see how Fireflyheart’s garden is coming along.”
Thymenose –
Thymenose involuntarily purred as Sand accepted her offer of friendship. No one really knew the leader well, no cat had been able to get close to her, finding the she cats shy manner to be quite uncomfortable during conversations.
She didn’t envy Sand having to speak in front of the clan though. And with so many cats to care for, how could you ever really have time for yourself
“Of course Sand Stuck Upon Foot. I shouldn’t keep you from your duties, and I should go and check my garden as well !”
Lifting up her lame paw by her shoulder, she just about managed to get it over the rocks without hitting it again. Score.
“See you again some time ? “ she called out, the words more like a question then a statement.
Sand Stuck Upon Foot –
Sand smiled. “Of course!” she turned and padded away, toward Fireflyheart’s garden, still grinning. She’d made a friend.
Fireflyheart padded through the rows of herbs, making sure none of the plants were rotting. Frowning, she dug up a small mint plant whose leaves had withered and dropped it into the small compost bin in the corner. When everything was sufficiently decomposed, she’ll mix it into the soil to produce better herbs.
Sand Stuck Upon Foot –
Sand walked toward Fireflyheart.
“Hello, Fireflyheart.” she said, dipping her head. “I hope your garden is growing well.”
“Greetings, Sand Stuck Upon Foot,” Fireflyheart replied. “My garden is doing well, yes. I’ve started composting the dead plants. It may not smell good, but it makes a good fertilizer.”
Sand Stuck Upon Foot –
Sand pricked up her ears. “That’s a great idea, Fireflyheart.” She glanced at Fireflyheart’s garden at her feet. Thank goodness Fireflyheart’s garden was going well… She breathed a quiet sigh of relief. All of the Dahon gardens were growing well. That meant that when the Monarchy came, she might not get in trouble, and neither would all of Dahon.
The Monarchy Visit is beginning !
As not the most popular choice among cats of the clan, this is Sand’s chance to prove herself, hopefully all the gardens are in bloom !
Sand Stuck Upon Foot –
Sand took a deep breath. The Monarchy would be coming soon, very soon, to visit. She knew that Dahon was never the most popular choice, but Screech’shi would be coming, so would her adviser.
“Cats of Dahon, gather ’round!” she called out. “The Monarchy is coming for the visit. I want everyone on best behavior. Make sure your gardens are growing well, and be respectful.”
Her tail twitched nervously. She was trying to be strong, but all she could feel in herself was weakness. She knew if this didn’t go well, she would be gone. Just like the past leaders. This had to go well. If it didn’t, she didn’t know what would happen to her…
But she allowed herself to hope for a moment. If it did go well… She would be able to prove herself as Dahon’s leader, even if she was young.
She straightened herself.
Dahon could do this.
Thymenose –
Seeing her new friend filled with such confidence made her smile. Nodding reassuringly, Thymenose quickly turned away. She was barely a warrior, not a cat who should be helping to support the leader. Her cheeks burned hot, and Thymenose quickly rushed away to her garden, staring intently at flowers, more than any normal cat would.
Stupid feelings.
They got in the way of everything.
Sand Stuck Upon Foot –
Sand relaxed slightly as Thymenose smiled at her and nodded, but her pelt prickled in surprise and confusion when Thymenose quickly turned and ran away. She looked around at the cats of Dahon as they got to work for the gardens, and Sand walked quickly after Thymenose. She saw Thymenose staring at the flowers in her garden. She walked up beside her.
“Thymenose, are you alright?’ she asked, worried.
Thymenose –
Oh great. She should have known Sand would follow. Stupid, stupid, stupid emotions. Lifting up her head, and trying not to blush or speak super quickly at the sight of the she cat, she mewed
“Oh no, everything’s fine, I just thought I had forgotten to water my daisies.”
Looking at what flower she’d been to careful examining, she internally screamed. And let out a sigh.
“Those are roses behind me, aren’t they.”
She shuffled her one good paw around, becoming a little unbalanced, but at least it took her mind of the awkward situation.
Thymenose hated having a crush, and she rarely did get them. But when she did, it was not fun.
Sand Stuck Upon Foot –
Sand glanced at the daises shaking slightly in the wind behind Thymenose. “Yeah. What’s up?” she cocked her head. “You seem a little… distracted.” Sand smiled at Thymenose. “I’m here to help. What do you need?”
(Poor Thymenose 😛 this is literally me with one of my friends at school)
Thymenose –
“Oh I’m good ! I’m fine, it’s all well.” She realised she was rambling, and curled her tail around her paws, trying to meet Sand’s gaze without blushing.
“Ive just been a bit distracted, that’s all.”
Realising that wasn’t enough explanation, she sighed and turned back to Sand.
“Maybe I’ll tell you at some point in future, but right now, I think you’d prefer not to know.”
Although not many Monarchy cats came, the visit was a success. Sand stuck upon foot was initially a nervous leader, but has stepped up to her role, with the help of Thymenose as one of the smallest clans, there has been a struggle to find a deputy, and although Thymenose was the initial favourite, she has refused to step up, and has not yet been any part of training a young cat.
However, someone or something has been trampling herbs gardens, and the cats of Dahon are nervous that their herb stocks will run low. Will they turn to the monarchy for help, and risk their wrath or will they continue as normal, and try and sort the problem out themselves
~ Cloudwhisp (Kaukau) ~
Cloudwhisp walked into the unfamiliar camp with her head and tail lowered, her bones jutting out of her pelt, and her eyes glassy. She lifted her head and looked around for some cat to treat her. The short journey had been shamefully excruciating, but there was no time to worry about how weak she may appear; she knew she had been neglecting herself for too long, and if she wasn’t attended to immediately…. No, it won’t come to be as bad as that, Cloudwhisp thought fiercely. But wishing upon stars wouldn’t make her better, she knew.
Sand Stuck Upon Foot –
Sand sighed, feeling weighed down by a huge burden. The Monarchy visit was over, and it had been a success, but as soon as one trouble was over, another seemed to begin. Many beth gardens had been trampled recently, and Sand had no idea what the source could be. What she did know was that I’d this kept on, they might not have enough herbs to treat injured cats. She wondered if she should ask the Monarchy for help. Certainly they could do something?
All these thoughts were interrupted when a she- cat entered camp, groaning, her head hanging. Sand gasped, her eyes wide.
“Quick, someone to help this cat!” she said to whoever could be near. She shot to the she-cats side and began looking over her pelt. The bones seemed to be jutting out of her pelt, never a good sign.
IGNORE ALL COMMENTS BEFORE THIS ONE
Sand Stuck Upon Foot –
Sand padded through the territory, eyes pinging around nervously. She quickly went to her garden and carefully pushed up the petals of her newest flowers. She had been worried they wouldn’t grow well, but now they were blooming as well as the rest of her garden. She sat down and glanced around. With a sigh she closed her eyes and lifted her face up to the sun.
