Meet Blayz and Help Her Out! (Warning- long winded, a novel)

[pineshade]

Hey, my name is Blayz. I turn 20 this year and I study at Michigan State University.

I love agriculture and animals, especially those on the farm. I'd like to be a farm

manager once I am done with my education. I saw a video about this game on 

TikTok. It's been years since I've held an Erin Hunter book in my hands, but I've

always enjoyed the world of Warrior Cats! I have an interest in story telling and

creating, but I have always found role-playing hard to keep up with, and the threads

usually died years ago. I'm hoping to set up the foundation of a character so I could

have the chance to roleplay in the future. However, the first step to creating a

character is their name, and I am already stuck! I would appreciate some help

with either naming my cat, some tips on how to get into roleplaying and some

general etiquette, or how to play the Untold Tales! Now introducing my feline.

This she-cat is dark brown with short fur. She is slim in the face and has green

eyes. She prefers to observe; keeping her mouth shut and her mind open.

She aims to please and keep the peace, but has no tolerance for bullying.

She is reliably selfless like a mother, but finds herself uncomfortable around talkative

kits and judgmental elders. Although this cat has some interest in herbs, and her sleek, shadowed

form allows her to slip within the shade of the forest, she has yet to commit

to a profession. She prefers to be able to help wherever needed, so she has

kept it that way for now. She hasn't seriously considered kits or a mate, but she

has a soft spot for a certain type of cat. . .

I want my character to be unique without being purple, overpowered, or a

unicorn. I don't want her to be a "pick-me"; I just want to enjoy the

thought of creating something of my own. I have considered giving her scars,

but, as I mentioned, she is generally peaceful. Regardless, I have many

scars of my own and think they're beautiful, so I might find a way of

incorporating them. I wanted to have some white marking on her chin and a

blaze on her forehead(a nod to my name), but the breed that I used

for inspiration, a Havana brown, generally doesn't have these markings,

so it was hard to find a reference for credibility. Another aspect I had

in mind is that she was a loner- a kit out of a kittypet Havana brown 

male that met a rogue clan she-cat. Her time between being

outside a clan to being inside one could be a good excuse for

her having scars. I apologize for being so thorough, but I have been

thinking about this for a long time. I would like a plant/tree name, but I am also

considering an animal name. I feel like trees and some animals fit her

reserved, overlooking personality. Here are some reference photos(variously

aged cats) and some of the suffix and prefix I have considered.

Pine	fall(action)
Oak	spring(action)
Bramble	shade
Aspen	shadow
Dove	dew
Robin	bark
Sparrow	branch
Rabbit	foot
Hare	leap
Deer	feather
Doe	flower
Fawn	berry
Clover	blaze
Leaf	Leaf
Mint	sky
Sage	pelt
Forest	heart

[I don’t know what I’m doing]

I honestly like Pineshade or Pineshadow, but that sort of suggests that she’s more secretive and sneaky instead of peaceful. For her personality, you should probably choose flower as the suffix, since it sounds a lot more peaceful. I think Fawnflower sounds nice, but that’s just my opinion.
