Yes I immediately looked up whistlepaw mentions and drew every scene I could. She is so good. And frostpaw worries about her sm
Again only read thru whistlepaw scenes so sorry for any ooc-ness
the reason i say the book utilizes curlfeather's background character status in an interesting way is because the viewer did not know who she is or why they should care about her until very recently. it is one thing to take a bg character and suddenly apply a personality and motivation to them that previously had no prior foreshadowing in their previous appearances (cough cough berryheart cough cough), but in curlfeather's case specifically, it works because her relevance hinges on the fact that she had a secret life that only a select few people were ever privy to that no one else, not even her family, would have ever suspected her of having. there is an actual justification for why the reader would never have seen warning signs in the minute appearances she had before. like i said in the other post, no one, not even the reader, knew who she truly was until she was dead. similar to the way we see strangers on the bus and think nothing of who they are, what's happening in their life, the things they've done or could do, the idea of an exceedingly minor character having had a lush inner life that was hitherto inaccessible to the viewer is what really fascinates me. which is also why i prefer to believe that her attempted coup was the culmination of thoughts and feelings she had been having about the world around her for a long time gradually built up from several experiences across the course of her lifetime and didn't just start with the single inciting event of "my husband died i'm evil now" lmao
