Always Gold [Clan Betrayal]

Plot Name: Always Gold
Clans involved: Thunderclan
Characters Directly Involved: Cinderpaw and whoever of their siblings that would like to follow her / Softfall / Stoatstar / Appledapple

Will there be code-breaking?: The only code-breaking I see is the fact she would be disobeying her leader's order and abandoning the clan altogether.

Explain your Plot: Cinderpaw's view of her clan has been changing during her apprenticehood. She is a feisty little fighter but also an extreme loyalist to the Code and the clan. This has caused her to question the morality by Thunderclan is going: allowing a bunch of Riverclanners (Swanmist's family) who decided to betray their clan, Stoatstar's questionable decision of Minnowfin as deputy (considering he was an apprentice literally like a day before the deputy ceremony + the fact he didn't have an apprentice) and now both of her adoptive parents, Appledapple and Stoatstar siding with the Dark Forest during the Gathering.
This is the breaking point. Despite her love and devotion to her family, she can't stand being bossed around by the Dark Forest. She is a power-hungry she-cat, sure, but she wants to be powerful by herself, not with some evil cats' help. She returns to Thunderclan camp with the rest of her clan and is more disappointed at the fact Stoatstar continue his life as if nothing happened. Cinderpaw will get more fed up and during her warrior ceremony, she will ask her leader/father to meet her at night.
Finally, the confrontation ensues. Cinder (as Cinderflame) will call out all of her father's hypocrisy and lack of judgement. The two will argue, finally resulting in Cinderflame informing her desertion from the clan. She will return to camp, gather some of his siblings and inform them of her decision before sneaking during the night. Is up to them if they will join her or not, but she promises to come back one day stronger and able to help her clan get rid of the Dark Forest.
Knowing well that the Dark Forest will take over the forest, Cinderflame will take refuge in the Twolegplace Place and train there. What happens from here on is up to how roleplay goes.

How will this impact the characters/clans involved?: Thunderclan will lose at least one apprentice due to Stoatstar's decision. But, most importantly, this will stir more family drama in the Stoat/Apple litter. Cinder has always been a fan of their parents (especially Apple) and her leaving them like that would only show how much they have disappointed her. If more siblings join her, this will cause a split in the family and future confrontations that could lead to very interesting paths. Is Cinder ever going back? Will she become a rogue or join another clan who doesn't line up with the DF? Will she form her own temporary group with her siblings? Will she ever forgive her parents for their choices? Who knows!

• Minnowfin's Deputy Ceremony - Cinderpaw agrees with Softpaw, believing Stoat was insane for choosing Minnow over any more capable warrior such as Appledapple
  
• March Gathering - Cinderpaw is vocal about her disdain for the Swanmist's family + Apple and Stoat telling her they will be by the DF's side.
  
• Not Your Seed - Cinderflame confronts Stoat after her ceremony and makes her final decision to leave the clan.
  
• Everything Goes Away - Cinderflame gathers her siblings to ask them to join her in her escape (all but Softfall)
  
• Separate Ways - After some unexpected revelation, Cinderflame decides to tell Appledapple, her foster mother, about her escape from Thunderclan. At the same time, she confesses that she knows about her true origins and asks Appledapple if she even considers Cinderflame her daughter.
  
• But You Were Always Gold to Me [SEMI-SOLO] Feeling guilty, Cinderflame leaves a feather next to where Softfall is sleeping as a goodbye gift. She internally hopes he can still change for the better
  
• Run Boy Run - Cinderflame attempts an escape but gets noticed by a Dark Forest cat. She gets chased down and manages to temporary hides. That's when Softfall's comes into the picture and distracts the Dark Forest cat, allowing Cinderflame to escape for good
  

This plot is tentatively approved, but with a note - given the Dark Forest's arrival, no cats will be leaving the Gathering - however perhaps something can be worked out with Ripped (Stoatstar's RPer) for Cinderpaw to desert the clan. Once those details are worked out, could you please update and let me know and I can give you a firm approval!
