Character of the Month (February 2022)

[Starfall]

Welcome to Character of the Month, a feature designed to recognize two characters who deserve kudos!

→ How It Works! ←

Using the form found at the bottom of this post, you may nominate two Main Roleplay characters you think deserved to be featured! Please use one form per character - they should not be in the same form.

For the sake of giving every character a chance, avoid nominating cats who have already been nominated for the month.

Nominations will be held for approximately 3 weeks, ending around the the 21st of every month. Once it ends, a poll will be posted displaying the names of the characters who qualify for voting.

Users can vote for as many characters as they want to be recognize. It is discouraged to vote for every character listed, as only two will win.

If two characters have the most votes, but they are roleplayed by the same person, the winner will be picked by staff based on the nomination reasons, and the second winner will default to the next highest vote.

The voting period will end on the last day of the month, and the results will be posted on the 1st of the new month.

→ Nomination Reminders ←

Before you nominate, please keep these in mind.

• Characters should have been roleplayed within the last two weeks of being nominated to avoid inactive characters being featured.
  
  
• You may not nominate your own characters, or advertise your characters to gain nominations.
  
  
• Characters used to violate a roleplay rule cannot be voted for the month they broke the guideline. They will be omitted from the final polling.
  
  
• Nominations must include an explanation of why the character deserves recognition. Posts that do not provide a reasoning will be removed. Additionally, be thorough in your evaluation of the character. Vague or thoughtless statements (e.g. "they're cool") will result in your nomination being discarded. We want to know why you think this cat deserves attention!
  
  
• You may nominate two characters, but avoid nominating characters who have already been nominated.

Why should this character be featured?:

[Shade.]

Character Name [mention user]: Raypaw @~Gale~
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: WindClan
Why should this character be featured?: Raypaw is amazing! His personality is simple and understandable yet realistic and incredibly compelling in various situations. He has the potential for great heroism yet his ambition almost makes him seem less heroic at times. I love seeing him interact with different cats!

Character Name [mention user]: sleethound @sid
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: thunderclan
Why should this character be featured?: ew, gross, disgusting, blegh. Sleethound is disgusting, vile, putrid. He has such a beautifully punch able little face and its wonderful horrible. Sid rps him so well that any mention of him immediately gets me going, and his posts are just chefs kiss beautiful. He is the perfect example of a crappy ex, and his recent posts at the coup thread are such a guilty pleasure of mine to just reread over and over and over again.

Character Name [mention user]: ridgeclaw @Rani
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: thunderclan
Why should this character be featured?: Ridgeclaw my beloved. My little skrunkle boofer. He is everything you would expect from one of ranis expertly crafted characters and more. Hes grumpy, as many elders are, but no so much that he's unbearable. He stands up for those he cares for, is loud and open about his beliefs, and won't hesitate to tell someone he doesn't agree with them (an example would be at Nectarflames meeting when he spoke out about his disappointment in her wording). Ridgeclaw is familiar in a way that makes me feel like I already know him as a character without seeming repetitive, which I think is a very hard thing to find right now.

Character Name [mention user]: Skyshard @doof
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: Thunderclan
Why should this character be featured?: This character is so unique. Fiercely loyal to Thunderclan and frankly when they attacked Nectar it was hilarious. Absolutely love Skyshard.

Character Name [mention user]: Cougarivy @Ravensong
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: Shadowclan
Why should this character be featured?: The way she seemed to love attacking TC apps and kit(s?). It was like a game to her. The excitement in her eyes were well described plus the fact she actually was training them some but also was horrible to them breaking that kits leg. I just love her so much.

[Hawkk]

Character Name [mention user]: Brambletree ( @Jaxson )
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: RC
Why should this character be featured?: I loved the little poem he made for Bramble

[Fenz]

Character Name [mention user]: cloverkit - @masquerade
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: Riverclan
Why should this character be featured?: I just love how creative she is and how her personality blooms around others. I can literally see her in a clear vivid image in my mind with any of my cats and others she has this way of cheering everyone up in her own unique way

Character Name [mention user]: Snowypaw [ @spade ]
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: WindClan
Why should this character be featured?: Snowypaw is such a lovable character. Reading any post with them in it is a joy since they have such a sweet and wholesome personality, and spade does an amazing job portraying this. Their interactions with their older half-brother, Wolffang, always melt my heart and I find myself looking forward to them. They're really well roleplayed and reading their posts is always fun!

Character Name [mention user]: Leechpaw [ @Undertaker ]
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: WindClan
Why should this character be featured?: Leechpaw has a very interesting personality which makes any post with him in it a fun read. He's bossy, rude, down-to-earth, and a killjoy, but he cares a lot for family, is very protective, and is a smart and logical cat. His interactions with family and non-family are fun and interesting to see because of this personality that he has. Overall, he's just an interesting character and I can't wait to see where he goes!

[Poprock]

Character Name [mention user]: Cowpaw [ @x ghostie ]
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: WindClan
Why should this character be featured?: Oh my goodness, what an absolute ANGEL. Cowpaw is so enjoyable to read. Falling in love with herbs and medicine after one (1) healing session with Peach, its so rewarding to see him profess his desires to be a medicine cat to Twilightstar. Ghostie has done such a good job of fleshing out his character and I cannot wait to read more!

[Pitou]

Character Name [mention user]: Cloudykit [ @poppy. ]
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: Thunderclan
Why should this character be featured?: She's tenacious and determined. For a cat with very few true learned skills, she's confident and willing to put herself out there for what she believes. And Poppy's writing of her is chilling and really makes you root for her.

Character Name [mention user]: Ashpaw [ @error ]
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: Shadowclan
Why should this character be featured?: I've loved this daughter of Elmshadow's from early on. She embodies so much of Elmshadow's personality yet is so resentful of that very thing (with good reason). She's bold and deep, and Error's writing of her has really left me with a deep empathy for the struggling young cat.

[QueenOtter]

Character Name [mention user]: Oakwhisker [ @SuspiciousMindz ]
Character Faction [indicate if outsider]: RiverClan
Why should this character be featured?: He's so protective of his friends and loved ones! He's never giving up and doing what he thinks is right, SuspiciousMindz has made Oakwhisker amazing. He seeks for someone's presence whenever he's alone, and his story is so interesting. Oakwhisker is unwilling to give up anyone close to him, he'll make sure of that. I love this character so much even though I haven't even interacted with him!
