Character name: Brookstone How will this character integrate into the current clan/tribe's plot:
The oldest of her sibling trio, and with her father withdrawing completely after their mother's death Brookstone hasn't given herself the room to truly grieve her losses. Instead, she musters up a smile, squares her shoulders and bears the weight of taking care of her loved ones all on her own. Brookstone truthfully doesn't know what to do with her sister, but to say she is happy with their current relationship would be a lie. She struggles knowing how to connect with the younger she-cat in a way that isn't overly controlling or commanding and I'd love to explore the nuances of that relationship deeper. She strives to be a pillar of strength to her brother, though she feels like she is crumbling inside more every day.
Nevertheless, Brookstone has always been a cat that perseveres in the face of adversity. She knows the meaning behind working hard and the rewards hard work reaps, and has thrown herself headlong into maintaining and strengthening her battle-skills. She's one of the first cats around to volunteer for patrol no matter the time of day or night. Brookstone can arguably be called a workaholic - but she wants nothing short of the best for her clan. Though young, she understands too well how fleeting life can be and wants to create a legacy like her own ancestors - one that will live on long after she is gone.
What are your personal plans for the character:
Ever the hard worker, Brookstone often volunteers for the less sought after patrols, picking up extra duties whenever she has nothing else to occupy her time. Her willingness to help has garnered the young feline a well-liked reputation, and secured her several friendships within her clan. These easy friendships segue into her relationships with her family - which range from dead in the water when it comes to Splashfire and thick as thieves with Creekwhisker.
Brookstone will struggle with knowing when enough is enough. Both with her penchant for needling information from others and working herself to the bone. She tends to drive herself past the point of exhaustion, a constant mantra of "be better, do better" on endless loop. The warrior refuses to simply relax, afraid that if she does she'll lose the tenuous grip she has on her grief and turmoil.
With her own background, she isn't the kind of feline to disparage mixed blood or outsiders. However, she tends to have the view-point that if you aren't for Redwoodclan then you're against them. She certainly puts her clan's wellbeing before the wellbeing of other clans and as such will maintain camaraderie with the other clan cats but shies away from friendships. Brookstone knows all too well how quickly the tides of war can change, and she's too afraid she would have to cut a friend down in battle to protect her own clan someday - so paws-length is the way to go as far as she is concerned.

Plot name: LichenClan Council Member Your character name: Deadeye How will this character fulfill the current plot's needs:
Like Monarchmask, Deadeye is a loyalist, although he has a low-class father. He supported Minnowstar up until her insanity, but would not complain at all if a Heron cat somehow came into power again. He has a reputation for disagreeing and disliking LichenClan’s new leaders, withdrawing into the shadows as a result, and continuing to support his family, one of the last to practice dying traditions. He mainly supports them by being Caveflower’s pawn and trying to guide the current apprentices in the right direction through bullying and manipulation. However, since Deadeye is a relatively younger cat and somewhat connected with the younger generation, he is knowledgeable about their wants and needs.
While Deadeye is not power-hungry, he has no desire for power himself, he does enjoy being in control of others. He has a desire to create trouble, as conflict is what he’s known for most of his life. If he were to be put on the Council, at first he would be averse to it. He has no desire to cooperate with revisionists. However, after some convincing from Caveflower, he’ll come to tolerate it and be enlightened as to how he and his family can use his position to their advantage. Caveflower in particular will manipulate him behind the scenes and take advantage of his position to further her own values, in particular in an attempt to get traditional values back in the Clan. Deadeye will try to use his position to keep the traditionalist cats– and his family– in their leadership’s minds. Although, he may from time to time suggest or support decisions that would either balance traditional and revisionist values or support revisionist values. Because, even though he acts most of the time in traditional interests, there is a deeply suppressed part of him that despises traditionalism and has a desire to be free and do what he likes. He hardly, if ever, expresses this part of himself and a position on the Council may be an opportunity for him to open up a little more, albeit slowly. Deadeye genuinely wants to see his Clan thrive and will work hard to be sure they have a good future– just in his family’s way.
Regarding Lilacmist, Deadeye is not very familiar with her but will work with her since she is a connection to StarClan and he is loyal to them above all else. After encouragement and pressure from Caveflower, he will confer with Lilacmist more, also seeking more knowledge about StarClan, and fully support her wishes. Lilacmist and Deadeye also share similar views regarding LichenClan traditionalism and the roles of cats in the Clan, so they should get along pretty well. Together, they could be a force to be reckoned with.
Input from Captain regarding Caveflower's role:
"Seeing an opportunity when Deadeye is picked for the council, Caveflower will attempt to manipulate him to achieve her own ends. She can act behind the scenes, scheming to bring back traditionalist values to the clan. Her true end goal is to secure a position on the council for her family that could be passed down to one of her sons and their descendants. Whether she wins or loses is up to how the plot goes. I'm just as excited to see her win as I am for her to lose everything, or perhaps Deadeye will be revealed as the true brains behind it all, manipulating his grandmother when she thought she was the one in control. Regardless this will make for some fun political scheming and plays for power. Caveflower can get other traditionalist characters involved and help promote an ongoing conflict in LichenClan."
