[FINDER] Lost Squirrel

[Akira]

So, my old character, Squirrelear, has gone missing from WindClan (shocker): he had taken a bit of a tumble and been swept into the outskirts. Unfortunately, said tumble in the river has knocked his head against rocks, branches, etc, and he is now an amnesiac with the name Squirrel, with no memory of WindClan or his life there at all… in fact, the most he knows of the Clans at this point is that they exist, and thinking about them makes him feel funny.

Another cat, [LONER], who had spotted Squirrel looking in the direction of the Clans, approaches the ginger tabby and warns him about the Clans, sharing horror stories they've heard about them from other outsiders. They have a conversation, and some afterwards, with [LONER] continuing to warn Squirrel against going to the forest for his own safety, especially as they grow closer as friends.

However, he will gain curiosity and begin to stray close to the WindClan border, wanting to see how those wild cats lived. That is when he meets [CAT 1], who may or may not have met him yet remembered him from his time as a warrior. Squirrel is initially hesitant to believe them and dismisses their claims of him once being a warrior-ridiculous, right?-and goes off his way, leaving [CAT 1] behind.

And yet, even after denying it vehemently, Squirrel is doubtful of himself and wonders if he truly used to be a WindClan warrior and wanders back to the border, wanting to talk to [CAT 1] again to see if he could believe them.

Luckily, [CAT 1] was eager to drag him back and, over several visits, [CAT 1] began to gain Squirrel's trust, slowly helping him remember his past life, even if just pieces. However, so many repeated visits of course attracted attention and, one day, [CAT 2] follows [CAT 1] to one of their visits with Squirrel and, not remembering him or having met him as a warrior, confronts the duo.

[CAT 1] immediately explains everything and defends Squirrel when [CAT 2] voices their distrust and, after much talking and despite still not liking it, [CAT 2] trusts [CAT 1] and keeps their secret, though insists on visiting along to make sure they aren't planning anything bad. Squirrel is hesitant to trust [CAT 2] but, over time and many visits, some without [CAT 1], he may or may not develop feelings for them, hehehe… though he'll be terrified of commitment and being able to gain their love as well.

Over time, [LONER] continues to check on Squirrel, worried about him as he smells a bit like the Clans from so much talking by the border, and Squirrel shares his thoughts and memories. While still wary of the Clans and doubtful of [CAT 1] and [CAT 2], [LONER] trusts Squirrel and begins to support him, sometimes even joining him on his visits to the border.

After many visits from the duo and regaining some memories, Squirrel decides to return to WindClan and try to rejoin so he can regain more memories and return to his old home… Only to be attacked by [CAT 3], who'd been quietly following and listening to [CAT 1] and [CAT 2] talk about the private visits. Caught off guard, Squirrel flees and, shortly after he does, [CAT 1] and [CAT 2] find [CAT 3], and they tell the duo what happened.

Distraught, the duo explain to [CAT 3] who Squirrel is and drag the reluctant cat along in the search for the ginger tom to have them apologize. It takes a bit, as Squirrel fled back to his den, but [LONER], having become close friends with Squirrel, leads them to his den after hearing the group out, where he's hiding out. After a sincere(?) apology from [CAT 3] and heavy convincing from [CAT 1], [CAT 2], and [LONER], Squirrel agrees to return to WindClan. Heck, [LONER] can come along to join him back to WindClan if they like, and if not, Squirrel will visit them sometimes at the border! If his feelings towards [CAT 2] resolve and blossom further, even better!


Now, here are the roles:
LONER
(Taken By: Dragon [@/dragonwind])
REQUIREMENTS

•Someone distrustful of the Clans and doesn't interact with others too much•
CAT 1
(Taken By: [])
REQUIREMENTS
•Any Age•

CAT 2
(Taken By: Floatingleaf [@/Silvershadow13])
REQUIREMENTS
•Any Age•
•Must Be WindClan•
•Maybe knew of Squirrelear, though only in passing. Would be fine if they didn't, though•
•Initially distrustful and cold towards Squirrel, but warms up to him over time•

REQUIREMENTS
•Any Age•

Name
Floatingleaf

Age
24 moons

Rank
Warrior

Gender
Female she/her

Appearance
A small, wiry short furred she-cat with white base fur, speckled with splashes of pale chestnut brown. Dark emerald eyes

Role and why
Cat 2, I feel like she would fit the role well because she is not all that trustworthy of outsiders, but will listen to reason and if she finds it suitable, will not mind keeping a secret, she is a kind and loyal cat, so she would cherish her friendships with these cats. She has also rarely spoken with Squirrel if not ever, so it would make her even more wary at the beginning.

Will you be active for this role
Yes

Any ideas
She has Aquaphobia, so if you want to play with her fear, go for it.

Anything else
She also has awful memories of being trapped in the fire

I like them! Squirrel might develop feelings for Cat 2, but maybe we can build up his relationship with Dragon over the roleplays and see where that goes!
