#he has six toes on one of his paws dont forget

[epiphlyte]

reading trees roots: “WOW i love the friendship between a younger tree and his best bud stream! they’re both so precious! i can’t wait to see what their journey together entails when they leave the siste-”

so yup. this kid stream? he’s actually my new son now i love him so much... on par with sunstrike for favourite obscure warriors background character with a cool name... spoilers for trees roots/avos while we’re at it below the cut as i talk about some design choices! :>>

last chance to get out if you haven’t read tree’s roots. anyhow - stream has the “star shaped” pupils as a nod to how he dies... i know ripplestar got struck by lightning, shadowsight got struck by lightning, mudclaw dies crushed by a tree struck by lightning. but has any cat died directly due to a lightning strike, one NOT sent by starclan at that? you could argue that ripplestar died on impact from falling off the great rock, too. stream’s so special :,) still wish he went with tree on his journey

tree is great, also love him! so here’s some explorations - im thinking he has a topknot/man bun before he joins the clans, but also maybe occasionally puts his hair? fur? back in one for his mediator journeys. another reason for rootpaw to think he’s weird haha. here’s also where i decided that all the sisters/ghost seeing cats have a coloured spot in their eye, maybe it turns white when they see spirits? don’t ask why rootspring didn’t have them in his design i hadn’t come up with it then
