I just needed a place to put this and my character profiles are for concrete stuff, not plans. Feel free to jump in this if you want.
Reminder: This is an abstract recording of possibilities, not a plot!! It may evolve to that later but not now. Half of it is just solo stuff that'll happen.
Mange meets Buttercup:
-Gains experience for what being cared for/about feels like
Meeting Pigeon:
-Leave Buttercup for DawnClan
-Learns what a community looks like
-Pressure to prove himself
Pigeon's training:
-Loyalty for DawnClan
-Told he must help DawnClan or they might need to take over the barn
-More pressure to prove himself
-Visiting Buttercup as a source of relief and comfort
-Suspicious in Pigeon's eyes
(This part may actually need to be approved):
Pigeon's trial:
Pigeon traps or searches for a victim she deems an enemy and makes Mange either kill or injure the cat. Alternate: Mange has to recruit a cat for DawnClan through threats or lies
-told that he has no where to turn now that he's a monster
-told she can help him and holds the event over his head
-fully devoted to DawnClan
Some time later...
A clan cat gets lost (or runs away)in the twolegplace and he hides the cat from DawnClan. The two participate in hijinks from Mange showing the cat wind chimes and how to catch a rat. StarClan and DawnClan beliefs are swapped between them and things are honky dory. Pigeon finds out and confronts him when the two are in a twoleg garden. Mange drowns her in a "pond" (pool). The duo take the body and hide out, allowing the ritual for mourning to commence only for a few days before burying whatever's left. Mange takes the cat home, getting really beat up along the way. (They meet a clanmate who gets into a violent fight with him, neither look too good afterward, both attempting to protect the clan cat Mange is escorting, fox or owl attack) After taking the cat to camp, he collapses from exhaustion and the pain of his injuries. At this point Mange either dies, becomes a member of the clan (unlikely) or goes back to DawnClan.
-Feels redeemed and no longer shrouded in guilt for what Pigeon made him do
-Intense DawnClan loyalty broken for a middle ground
-Warrior code influences future choices
-Thought of StarClan gives him hope however, DawnClan beliefs still influence his view on death. (Carrying the traits of the carrion-eaters)
