## **Personality**

Crocusmoon is always an extrovert who finds it rather easy to make friends. Though his interests aren't shared by many, he has a unique charm that draws others in, and he has his ways of wiggling himself into a friendship with even the most unwilling of cats. Compliments and questions about what they like are the main tactics Crocusmoon uses to gain favour with others, and he uses them over and over until someone gives in. Once the bait is taken, he's quick to reel them in! And once they know just how much fun he can be, they're likely to stick around with him. As Crocusmoon would say, "Ya can't judge a crow by its blood-soaked feathers!".

From a young age, Crocusmoon has had an independent streak. Whether he's off hunting or merely trying to figure something out, he is confident that he can do a lot without the aide of another. He tends to take his own matters into his own paws, and quite prefers it that way. However, there's nothing he likes more than the company of another to witness his spectacular deeds, so if a friend decides to tag along with him on a hunting trip, he's all for it! As long as they stick to themselves and don't try to help him out unnecessarily, that is.

Be it traps or ways to charm, Crocusmoon does his best to be original and creative. He loves to test out what works and what doesn't, and even shows a penchant for more underhanded tactics. In addition, he adds his own twist to hunting and fighting techniques; adjusting them to suit him best. As an example of his inventive prowess, Crocusmoon often adorns himself with flowers--some mashed into a paste that he smears on his coat--that are mildly poisonous/act as irritants when consumed, or simply have an awfully unbearable taste to them. That way, if anyone or anything tries to grab a hold of him, they find themselves in for an unpleasant surprise. Over the months he has learned to prevent any incidents with himself or his clanmates by finding puddles of water to wash off in if he has smeared flower paste on him before returning to camp for the day.

Crocusmoon knows his way around words and how to use them to his advantage. Sweet, flattering words are his forte, and he can often be observed making use of a cooing voice and complimentary gestures to go with them. He may even slip in a few flirtatious comments if he knows it'll work in his favor. Though Crocusmoon typically uses persuasion to get on someone's good side and make them his friend or help them do something they're unsure about, he can also regularly try to use it to bribe someone into getting him out of trouble or doing something for him when he doesn't feel like doing it; all with an unsuspecting smile and wide, expectant eyes. Not all innocent faces are to be trusted!

Hand in hand with his persuasive nature, Crocusmoon seizes opportunities whenever and wherever he thinks they'll benefit him, even if sometimes the opportunities become missed. Asked to do a chore in exchange for friendship? He's on board! Told that he can find strange creatures within the Deep Caves? Looks like a trip there is headed his way! With whatever interests him, a simple comment about ways he can engage in those interests and Crocusmoon is hooked! Advantages are key in his eyes, and whatever he can do to gain them, even if the advice may not work, he is willing to give a shot. His underhandedness is a big result of this. If the only way to get something is the dirty way, Crocusmoon won't hesitate to try it. The only thing that can dissuade him is if he risks a massive loss in the process.

Crocusmoon has charm, finesse, and experience in social situations. He learns about other cats from those around them and from his own experiences with them, and applies their different personalities to his behaviour around them. If the cat is the no-nonsense type, he may try to replicate a seriousness to gain their favour, but he'll do so in a way that might spark subtle amusement. And if they're more whimsical or rambunctious, Crocusmoon puts the pedal to the metal and goes all out with his personality. His penchant for matching others' energies and trying his best to get on their good side can do wonders and open up a slew of relationships for him. But Crocusmoon doesn't always use this ability for the most pure of things. Sometimes, he'll appeal to someone's tender side, if they have one, or provoke their anger so that he can gain an upperhand against them.

Crocusmoon has a particular interest in abnormalities and mutations; be that in other cats, prey, or other animals. He has been interested since a young age, as his brother has six toes--something he has never seen on any other cat--and he was always curious as to why that was. Anything that he doesn't particularly see on every cat can be considered fascinating to him. When met with someone or something that physically appears out of the ordinary, he becomes focused in a way that leads him to try his best to become their friend. He is curious about how mutations happen, and thus may ask a slew of questions some cats might not expect or appreciate. Though his intention isn't to hurt their feelings, he doesn't pull punches and can come off as insensitive.

Crocusmoon shows lackluster attempts at caution in most cases, which can wind him or others up in trouble. His opportunistic streak can only amplify the dangers posed with this trait, as a desire to obtain something and little care for what might happen on the way always spells disaster. Though he is able to rein in his reckless tendencies and weigh his possible wins and losses at times, there can be situations where he would rather leap before he looks.

If he sees no rhyme or reason for obeying something, or simply doesn't feel like following a rule due to it being 'stupid' in his eyes, Crocusmoon won't. This applies mostly for more restrictive rules, such as Half-Clan relationships and the like. He hates the feeling of being restricted by a silly rule that he feels doesn't serve any purpose. This spells trouble for him if he gets caught breaking a rule, though one punishment doesn't usually get through to him, and it may take several before he realizes that breaking certain rules could really become disastrous.

Crocusmoon speaks his mind whenever he feels like it, even though his thoughts can't always be the most pleasant to hear. He is straightforward in certain circumstances, sometimes bringing scathing honesty where it may not be appreciated. Though he is confident he can manage to repair any friendships he might harm because of his stark opinions with his charming persuasion and thus doesn't feel the need to quit this behaviour, it can leave those he isn't acquainted with to feel disrespected, which can lead to them disliking him.

**Romance**

 ★ **Crocusmoon Expressing Love:** When Crocusmoon has an interest in someone, he may be more extroverted and confident around them, but will also keep his distance in some cases. He may offer them 'gifts' that he finds interesting with much enthusiasm, and shower them with flattering compliments. His interest in them will be expressed openly, and he'll likely attempt to charm them. Crocusmoon doesn't care about where a cat is from--believing that cats shouldn't have to restrict their relationships to their Clan--and will be willing to become mates with someone even if they're from a different Clan.

## **Trivia**

 ★ **Fact #6:** Crocusmoon tests out nontraditional ways of hunting through the use of traps. Sometimes he digs a hole and tries to chase prey into it, and other times he tries to fashion traps out of vines and use bait to lure the prey in. This method of hunting tends to have him out in the territory for extended periods of time; sometimes returning successful and other times dirty yet grinning due to falling into a hole he's made or tripping on a trap.
