## Trivia

* In The Attack On BurrowClan, it has been noted that when Mittens first stepped into the camp, she was originally supposed to be identified as Moonstar, but Shatteredstar's roleplayer mistook her for the leader of The Rogues instead.

Having been recently asked about Mittens, here are some answers to those questions, which give some insight (though confusing) into the rogue's motivations:

Q) **If Mittens could've banished Frozen Heart like, 12 moons earlier, would she have?**

A) *Mittens was an adolescent twelve moons ago, and was still hanging around her father. Frankly, her motivation to campaign against Frozen Heart was purely spontaneous, and still needs its own strange day dream to determine. However, it is very possible that Mittens was already exposed to Frozen Heart through her father. But since I’m assuming that you want Fierce to grow up under Mittens’ rule, for the sake of the AU, just age her. It’s okay. Or just decrease Fierce’s age significantly.*

Q) **Does Mittens care about a hierarchy structure, command roles, etc..?**

A) *Seeing that the rogues in general are a complete contrast to order, it’s very likely that Mittens doesn’t care for, nor actually experienced life under a hierarchy. Essentially, the idea of the rogues is that the leader is basically just the exceptionally cruel cat of the bunch. As Frozen Heart once put it (in The ThornClan Trilogies, and likely in a more metaphorical way), “A leader doesn’t need a cat to make sure things stay in order whenever the leader is out of the camp, because the cats should already fear said leader enough to do it themselves.” The rogues, by stereotype, hate to be confined and told what to do. Mittens would be an idiot to confine them to such order. So simply put, no, she does not use any sort of hierarchy.*

Q) **Is Mittens manipulative?**

A) *No. She likes to say what’s on her mind. If that happens to get into a cat’s head, so be it. But she doesn’t go out of her way to manipulate and control.*

Q) **Does Mittens hate children?**

A) *She has no opinion on them.*

Q) **Would Mittens have tried to kill Moonstar at some point early on if she thought it would benefit her in some way?**

A) *Mittens is actually more of a follower than she is a leader, if you have noticed yet. That’s why I emphasize her later “betrayal” as such a 180 in her development. It’s why she isn’t really monologuing as much as Cockroach or Moonstar, and also why she pulled Cockroach aside for something of a “self-examination”. She noticed that as Frozen Heart was being overthrown, Cockroach seemed to exert himself as a natural leader. It’s why she also adds, “do you think you’d be a better fit than me?” And then proceeds to mention his wit in a negative manner. I’m getting off track again. I literally just remembered the question, haha. But despite her instincts to be a natural follower, she’s not entirely dumb. She feeds off of the higher authority, which is often why she isn’t as assertive, and usually parrots questions and avoids giving answers. She wouldn’t go out of her way to try and kill a much more experienced villain.*

Q) **What is Mittens' motive for becoming leader? What is her leadership style and how does it differ from Frozen Heart's?**

A) *As I mentioned earlier on in my PSA, Mittens’ motivation to become leader of the rogues is pretty underdeveloped. As for her leadership style, that’s where Rogues: The Musical helps. While Frozen Heart was purely authoritarian, Mittens is so zoned-out of her rogues, that they might as well just vanish from the planet, and she yet doesn’t notice. As long as they’re there to secure her alliance with Moonstar (notice that I didn’t say, “as long as they’re not deserting or being an embarrassment to her”), seeing that Moonstar was all in for the fear-mongering (“Look at the new collection to my army: War criminals!”), Mittens still doesn’t want her contribution to the alliance to be overshadowed (WINK WINK), so she does as she observes: Be quiet and let Moonstar use your cats as a checkmark on her list. But more simply put, her leadership differs because it’s more “chill” and “don’t cause a riot, please, but I don’t care.”*

Q) **Would Mittens dislike Fierce, being that she's somewhat disabled?**

A) *Frozen Heart used Fierce’s leg as a coaxing method. The only cat it truly matters to is Fierce, and her desperation to not be a disappointment. Frankly, 90% of the manipulation was from Fierce herself. Just let that sit for a bit. But anyways. As long as Fierce isn’t too much of a complainer, Mittens probably won’t notice. But for the sake of AU, if you’re keen on making her disappointed in Fierce’s disability, it’s an AU, wheeze. Hope you find what you’re looking for in this massive thing. Sorry for getting off track, hope it’s helpful in some way. Thank you for coming to my TED-Talk.*
