GENTLEDOE
messy-furred brown she-cat with heterochromia.
she/her

Ah, the topic of Keepers! Gentledoe had almost forgotten the little question Bumblestar had asked her with the amount of chaos happening as of late. Her tail flicked and she looked up, listening closely. Keepers could be challenged, but only Keepers could challenge the Head. It made sense to her, at least. Challenging the head Keeper without being a Keeper in general would be a little silly- and unfair to the Keepers who had worked hard to earn their ranks. She was silently thankful that the Keepers could choose whether to use claws or not. If she were to be challenged... she didn't want any unnecessary injuries.

Ah, and Keepers would be in charge of the kit curriculums! Gentledoe didn't mind that. She was already meant to be a teacher before this, so it wouldn't be much of a difference for her. The messy-furred she-cat quietly hummed to herself in approval. Hopefully the incentive of becoming a Keeper would draw in apprentices to do their best as well. Briefly, she glanced at Wolfpaw. Wherever he was in training, she would be sure to drive him to do his best moving forward.

Then came the announcement. Bicolored eyes rose once more as Bumblestar spoke her name, a smile curling at her lips. She silently dipped her head. As a Keeper, she would do her best. Her Clan had been struggling for far too long and if this was her chance to help it, then she would step up and do what she could. Oh, but Asterdance was also appointed as a Keeper! Gentledoe's smile grew and she turned, nudging the other's shoulder. Ah, thankfully she hadn't interrupted little Russetpaw, only just noticing the red-furred apprentice. Offering a flick of her tail to the she-cat, she refocused on Asterdance.

"Hey, love, we're both Keepers now!" she purred quietly, not wanting to disturb the meeting.

Ah, what was the next announcement to be? Interest sparked in Gentledoe's eyes and she perked her ears to listen (though her gaze remained focused on Asterdance. She almost didn't want to look away, for some reason).
