I use it for my characters current events and in RP developments. I try to update it regularly with threads the character has participated in and relationship updates.
RELATIONSHIPS: [Name [Status] | Relationship Status | Description.]
Family
Father: Crowclaw [Deceased] | Estranged | Batstrike had a positive relationship with his father, but they never grew close enough to have a meaningful connection that held him to his birthclan.
Mother: Heatherleaf [Deceased] | Estranged | Batstrike had a positive relationship with his mother, but he never grew close enough to have a meaningful connection that held him to his birthclan.
Brother: Pinetuft [Unknown] | Loving, extremely close, heartbroken he is missing | The two brothers were inseparable. Batstrike has hope that his brother is still alive out there despite the odds. He doesn't know what fate befell the tom, but the chance he may return to his side keeps him going. He doesn't like to talk about Pinetuft to those he is not close too as it can be painful, but if Batstrike is comfortable he speaks fondly of their kithood memories and all the trouble Pinetuft got him into.
Special Relationships
Former Mentor: Shadowstorm [Unknown] | Father Figure, heartbroken he is missing | The tom was tough to please, but that became Batstrikes only goal as an apprentice. He grew close to the older tom and even after his apprenticeship ended he often leaned to him for advice. With his father gone to him like his birthclan, Shadowstorm held the figure of a father in Batstrikes chosen family.
Former Apprentice (1): Cherryhawk [Unknown] | Adoptive Daughter, loving, heartbroken she is missing | Cherryhawk was Batstrikes first apprentice. She was put under his charge while he was still a newly named warrior. She was a pawful, but her fiery passion made her a harder worker that anyone would have expected. She never disappointed him, even when she had made some questionable decisions. Batstrike has claimed her as his own daughter and often concerns himself with what's come of her and the rest of his missing chosen family.
Current Apprentice (2): None Currently [TBD] | TBD | TBD
Mate: None Currently [TBD] | TBD | TBD
Clan Relationships
Tickstorm [Alive] | Best Friend, professional | A bit older than Tickstorm, the two had shared some time together growing up and were friends. He became busy as deputy and they hadn't spent as much time together, but with her at his side now the two have become close friends again. He can relax and have fun when they're together and he trusts her with his life and the clan. He considers her one of his closest friends.
Eveningblaze [Unknown] | Ex-role model, damaged friendship | The two have had quite the relationship. Batstrike originally resisted Eveningblazes harsh training styles and cold demeanor, but once he became leader and he was working under him he got much closer to the tom and came to understand him better. He looked up to Eveningstar and his teachings, coming to know him as a friend. The tom stepping down hurt Batstrike, even if he was willing to take the time to give him extra training, it seemed like it went against every value he saw in the tom. Now he avoids Eveningblaze, he doesn't hold a grudge against him or his will to be closer with his family but he can no longer idolize him as he use to.
Starlingleaf [Alive] | Professional, positive | The two have only interacted from a distance, but Batstar can respect Starlingleafs important work.
Fallenpaw [Unknown] | Professional, positive | Batstrike interacted with the apprentice several time. He found it easy to worry for the timid toms future.
Houndfrost [Unknown] | Friends | The two get along well, Batstrike enjoys spending casual time with her.
Swiftleap [Alive] | Positive | Thinks she's a dependable she-cat and loyal warrior.
Sleektail [Deceased] | Friends, sadness | Sleektail was a kind she-cat who was easy to talk to and very supportive. Batstrike was close enough to call her friend so her death was saddening to him.
Figscar [Alive] | Positive | Batstar respects his ability and thinks he's a kind and dependable warrior.
Rattledance [Alive] | Friends, uncertainty | The two have had some fun and light-hearted times. Batstars view of him changes with his actions though. When the tom behaves himself or strives to be his best for Valeclan he sees a fine young warrior, but he tends to be a bit immature and unpredictable which Batstar takes special issue in.
Milkpool [Alive] | Positive | Believes her to be a truly kind and supportive warrior to his clanmates. He specifically appreciated how she encouraged Ticksotrm when she was taking over as deputy and in her showing support for her apprentice when training with him.
Lynxfall [Alive] | Positive, uncertain | Seems to be a bit of a quite and nervous tom, but Batstar doesn't take anything away from him for that. He is yet to get a clear read on Lynxfall yet though.
Rustswirl [Alive] | Uncertain | He has seen Rustswirl make some questionable decisions which he struggles to understand. She is undoubtfully loyal to Valeclan and always trying her best, but she also commonly causes issues.
Kitescreech [Alive] | Positive | The she-cat seems very kind and Batstar was impressed when her mentor reported how bravely she acted in the face of danger to help another.
Stagrush [Alive] | Positive, uncertain | Batstar sees how competitive the tom is which will make his a fine warrior always trying to improve, but his brashness may help him end up in danger more often. He is proud of the tom though, he was willing to go back into a scary situation to help him scout for danger. He has potential to be a dependable and mighty warrior so long as he learns some patience and restraint.
Whisperpaw [Alive] | Hopeful, uncertain | Batstar is not typically open to outsiders, but since she arrived in Valeclan as a kit he had to make an exception. He hopes she grows into a strong and loyal warrior with her training, but he knows he must wait and see.
Lightningspark [Alive] | Positive | He trusts his experience as a warrior and thinks he seems like a very kind tom.
Flypaw [Alive] | Positive | She has a fire to her that Batstar can appreciate, though she seems like she may be quite the pawful. He hopes she won't grow to cause him to much trouble.
Antstep [Alive] | Friends | He thinks Antstep is very friendly, supportive, and considerate of others. Batstar appreciates her kindness and supportive friendship.
Other Relationships
Blackstar [Unknown] | Neutral, respectful | Previously suspicious due to Eveningblazes standpoint, but when Batstar took over he viewed him respectfully/neutrally. It was a shame he went missing because Batstar found peace easy with him leading their neighboring clan.
Pinkstar [Alive] | Friends, crush | The two had hit a rough patch when Pinkstar pulled out of their alliance suddenly because Batstrike felt betrayed after being hesitant about the agreement in the first place. The tense/strained period had faded though and his curiosity in the pretty young she-cat returned. Her outgoing nature made her easy to chat with and she was fun to be around. Batstar has become completely enamored by the she-cat now that she has shown some interest in him.
Fogstar [Alive] | Neutral | With no border the two rarely interact and Batstar doesn't see a point in causing any issues with a non-neighbor. He simply views him as a well-spoken improvement compared to Gladeclans previous leadership
Ashlight [Alive] | Neutral, distaste | Batstar found it unsavory that Ashlight left Valeclan to join the Peakclanners.
