Trust Issues Intensify!!!

I've seen so many popular cats here with interesting stuff going on in their lives. Or, more accurately, everyone's lives. My cats mostly keep to themselves. So I finally decided to make them more interesting and made a plot fore my first OC here ever, Lotusheart of RiverClan .

Lotusheart is a massive (ang I mean really tall, fluffy and muscular) she-cat with big pale yellow eyes. She was often bullied as a kit due to her appearance and labeled "a brute" and "ugly". This led her to becoming a very shy and self-conscious cat. She thought of herself as trash. Eventually, she met real friends and gained some confidence. Time to put that to the test.

Lotusheart is doing OK in her life. Her friends Gingerfrost and Foxblaze talk to her occasionally and all is calm. Well, one day she meets (Fake Friend) and starts talking to them. They seem to have positive interactions, though (Fake Friend) is a bit self-absorbed. Everyone has flaws, so Lotusheart just shrugs it off as something normal. She meets them a few times, though is going a bit frustrated with (Fake Friend) and their toxic behavior. Later she meets (Popular Cat), with whom she forms a good bond. (Popular Cat) has many friends but still takes the time to talk to Lotusheart. She becomes really close to them and is quite dependent on their friendship. But, as stated before, (Popular Cat) has many other friends and can do with two or three less. They seem to have hit it off with (Fake Friend) and are now close. Lotusheart decides that this is good since now they can all be a group. It starts out that way. They seem to be doing fine, but Lotusheart notices that (Popular Cat) isn't that interested in her and (Fake Friend) as they are in their many other friends. (Fake Friend) also notices that and is also a bit annoyed. Lotusheart gets even closer to (Fake Friend), though they both are nice to (Popular Cat) despite their often absence. Eventually, Lotusheart notices that (Fake Friend) is acting suspicious. It turns out they were talking behind her back. They could also do something mean like insult Har in front of other cats or even fight her. Lotusheart feels really betrayed. She tries to look for sympathy from (Popular Cat) but they barely pay attention, accuse her of overreacting or are simply confused at why she is talking to them since they're not that close. Lotusheart feels very betrayed. She sulks and broods and wants to get away from everyone. She'll either push her real friends away or become possessive of them. In the end, with some help from her friends, she overcomes this. From then on, all sorts of things can happen. Maybe her and (Fake Friend) are rivals, maybe she manages to befriend (Popular Cat) but in a better way and they're real friends.

Roles:

Fake Friend- a cat who is toxic and manipulative and still charming and believable. Lotusheart needs a reason to like them. I don't need a flat, one-dimensional villain. Have them be a real cat with their own motive rather than just being evil. It would be nice if they have a personal interest in Lotusheart, as in they actually cared for her deep down or really really hate her.

Popular Cat- Unlike Fake Friend, this cat isn't really a toxic, unpleasant person. Sure, they're both charming, but Popular Cat has many close friends and is good at making new ones. Maybe they're a bit selfish or clueless but they simply view Lotusheart as an acquaintance and don't know how to comfort her or don't want to take sides. Either way, if you have a cat with their own friends and story going on, it will be perfect, since they have their own things going on and they have an excuse not to get involved. They will be less active in this plot than Fake Friend.

No form, just a detailed description and some ideas. Please tell me how to simplify or improve this plot.

SORRY IF IT'S TOO COMPLEX.

I know this isn't the place, but maybe she could meet my shy baby StonePaw.
*She is warrior age, just had some bad mentors*

She's also big with fluff and stuff and really, really shy.

Nice idea, and she might fit into the plot as a real friend or a cat Lotusheart pushes away. Also, got any advice on improving this plot? That block of text would discourage anyone..... - _-
