Wrensong

Art by CaptainMorwen

## Appearance

Wrensong is a sleek tabby-and-white molly with yellow patches, orange stripes, and sharp, long-lashed, bright green eyes. She is tall with upswept cheek fluff, a few darker speckles, and four stripes on her tail. The stripes on her forehead curl into an M-shape, and her fur is long and thin, tapering out at the edges. She has angular, well-defined eyebrows, and her pink nose is triangular and small, sitting on the end of an equally small muzzle. The insides of her long, tufted ears are very furry.

## Personality

Wrensong has a big awaiting personality, and her mind is just quick as a whip. As a young cat, she found out she liked to do her own thing, and quickly took over as the herbalist after a few months. She is also one of those picky cats who is naturally good at everything and makes sure everyone knows about it.

## Biography

### Pre-Series

Wren’s brother, Thorn was the one who started his training as an herbalist because of his strong connection to The Spirits Beyond, while Wren trained as a warrior. Thorn may have been able to communicate well with The Spirits, but he struggled with herbs, while Wren was a master at memorizing them just from the few visits with her brother. It soon became clear that Thorn just wasn’t cut out for the job, but Oak Colony needed a new herbalist as soon as possible. The current Oak Colony herbalist, Frondsway had to step down from the job due to breaking the laws, so Thorn and Wren ended up switching positions, and they’re both very happy with how it turned out in the end. Wrensong’s bestfriend and girlfriend, Hailstorm was a bit less enthusiastic about her switch over to being herbalist, but Wrensong put her fears to rest. However, even after she received her herbalist name, she had trouble recieving messages from The Spirits. Mistysnow pulled young Wrensong aside and told her not to worry, communicating with The Spirits would even come in time or not, and that she should instead focus on being there for her clanmates. If The Spirits needed to speak to her, then they would find a way. Now, Wrensong has come to peace with her relationship with The Spirits, and while she can occasionally interpret a prophecy or two, she still mostly receives prophecies from her brother, Thornheart.

### Synopsis

In Shifting Roots: Episode 1, Wrensong can be seen curled beneath the Great Oak at the Moonlight Gathering, facing Hailstorm and Shrewpelt from a short distance away. She has no prominent part or speaking lines.

## Relationships

### Thornheart

Thornheart is Wrensong's brother and littermate. They appear to have had a very close bond even as new-claws, as Wren was willing to sacrifice becoming a ranger so that Thorn could become mates with Snow in the future. Even now that Wrensong is a full herbalist, she still goes to Thornheart to receive most of the Spirits' prophecies.

### Hailstorm

Hailstorm is Wrensong's best friend and one of her two mates. Formerly cats who once had a bitter rivalry with each other as new-claws, and with Hailstorm being only three moons Wrensong's senior, they grew up together and have been close almost all their lives. They appear to have a very playful and teasing relationship and sincerely love one another. With each of them being polyamorous, Wrensong does not mind Hailstorm's relationship with Shrewpelt and Hailstorm is in turn supportive of Wrensong and Smallpebble's relationship in spite of it breaking Alliance laws. They had feelings for each other ever since they were new-claws, and Hail was dismayed when Wren switched to herbalist training, but Wren reassured her that since they couldn't have kittens even if they wanted to, the Spirits ought not to mind and nothing would change between them. So far, she has been right.

### Smallpebble

Smallpebble is the herbalist of the Marsh Colony and Wrensong's other mate. Despite Smallpebble being almost double her age, they are genuinely in love with each other - "gay and happy", as stated in an art stream. Smallpebble is around for Wrensong when she needs her, and the two often meet at the border between their Colonies to exchange herbs and news.

### Dawnfrost

Dawnfrost is Wrensong and Thornheart’s adoptive sister. As a kitten, after Dawn’s mother died, she was brought up alongside them by Finchflight and Gorseclaw. No details about their relationship have been given, but Wrensong and Dawnfrost are stated to have remained good friends.

### Frondsway

Frondsway was formerly Oak Colony’s herbalist and Wrensong’s mentor. She trained her up until she received her full name before being forced to step down due to a mistake she had made quite a few moons prior. Again, no details on Wrensong’s relationship with her have been given yet.

### Mistysnow

Mistysnow is Field Colony’s herbalist, and Wrensong looks up to her for help and advice. When Wren first started training under Frondsway, Mistysnow pulled her aside and promised her that over time, she would get the hang of the role, both in terms of herbs and communicating with the Spirits Beyond - and even if she didn't, that it was alright, as Frondsway and Thorn's experience would still be in the Colony. Wrensong has always been grateful to Mistysnow and has a lot of respect for her.

### Orangebrook

Orangebrook is the herbalist of River Colony, and Wrensong is frequently frustrated by his attitude and behavior towards her. He is the eldest and yet least experienced herbalist, having swapped from ranger duty at a fairly old age, and doesn't often accept the others' advice. His daughter, Silverblaze, is close to Wrensong's age, and so he often irritates her with his "dad-isms", acting unintentionally patronizing. While Wrensong is fed up with him more often than not, however, she still tries to have patience and offer him aid when necessary, recognizing that the old tom is just unaccustomed to his position.

### Gorseclaw & Finchflight

Gorseclaw is Wrensong’s father and Finchflight is her mother. Her relationship with her parents has never really been touched upon, but there is thus far no reason to assume it is negative. Finchflight and Gorseclaw evidently enjoyed bringing up their kittens, as they later had a second litter, so it’s safe to assume that Wrensong gets along with them just fine.

### Fox, Oak, & Moon

Moon, Fox, and Oak are Wrensong’s younger sisters and brother. So far, there have been no details given on her relationship with them or with *their* adoptive littermates, Black and Frost.

### Ambereyes

As a new-claw, Wren developed a crush on Amber, a fellow new-claw from Field Colony. This is what made her realize that she was attracted to mollies, and it was one of the main things that compelled her to become an herbalist in the first place (after all, if she was never having kittens anyways, what did it matter?). She eventually moved past her crush on Amber, and it's unknown if they are friends or what their current relationship is.
