Leopardspots

so u know how i have the concept of apple and he's #triggered bc his papa was bad and he said that apple would probably bad too

bc of the "the apple doesnt fall far from the tree thing"

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

ya

cycries - 07/26/2017

so i got another idea for an oc based on "the leopard can't change its spots"

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

y es

cycries - 07/26/2017

and im trying to come up with a rough concept so basically: leopardkit. gonna become leopardspots obv

born in a clan, she'll probably have two siblings or smth? her mom is the deputy, her dad is just a loyal warrior

but her mom wasn't exactly loyal, she just had a superiority complex and craved power bc she was denied it all her life for being small

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

hot damn

cycries - 07/26/2017

she has a good upbringing but her mom is kind of absent even though they're in the same camp

trying to bond with the leader and her soon-to-be followers instead of with her children

so at 6 moons leopard is apprenticed under the leader

but just a few days later, the leader mysteriously dies, and though no one knew it, leopard's mom/the dep murdered the leader

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

wo

cycries - 07/26/2017

the leader was sort of old, but too young to die, though leo's mom thought it was his time to leave

so leo trains under her mom since the leader died

it was the only quality time they really had since they didnt talk much unless they were training

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

this is the shit

cycries - 07/26/2017

aaack thanks

so im not sure where i want the escalation happening

bc her mom's leadership needs to turn into a dictatorship at one point

but i think it's gonna be like.. she starts putting pressure on other apprentices because they all need to be extremely fit and athletic for some reason

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

dude maybe like

mommas words get to leopard's head, and she begins to become mom carbon copy #1, but she snaps out of it when someone she loves fucking dies of starvation (mom only lets certain people eat sometimes?? eh)

cycries - 07/26/2017

that's WH AThI was thinking adkafhhdf

y e s

so i think the escalation point in the reign is going to be pressure on apprentices and apprenticing kits early

and then it gets to the point where it's basically survival of the fittest

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

yeAH

cycries - 07/26/2017

the pressure on apprentices is almost unbearable and she pressures leopard even more because she "wants her to be great"

so leopard is basically crumbling but she wants to be great for her too

momma gets into her head, teaches her manipulation and everything, everything to be ruthless

leopard doesn't want to do any of it but she wants to make momma proud

cats are dying left and right from injuries during training or the occasional clan "spar" to rid of the weak ones

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

this is such a good idea

and then when leopard's sister dies, leo realizes everything

o OOOOO YES

i love him oh my god

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

cycries - 07/26/2017

OOOOH i LOVE THIS omgosone

also i got an idea abt the end of momma's reign but idrk if it's over the top

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

SPILL

cycries - 07/26/2017

ok so like leo's sister's death is what triggers her realization that she's becoming her terrible mom

she talks to other apprentices sometimes and they say they want to leave but they cant because they'd be killed

at this point it's definitely a dictatorship and only half the still-alive elders are against it

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

only ones openly against it?

cycries - 07/26/2017

yeah, kinda open

i mean not campaigning, but when leopard talks to them they're like "lol yeah i dont rly like the leader at all"

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

lolol

cycries - 07/26/2017

but when she talks to the elders-they're supposed to be wise- whether they're against her mom or not

they all say they want things to go back to normal

the elders started having prophetic dreams instead of the medicine cats since the meds were all sticking w leo's ma

none of them were comprehensible though

so when leo's other sibling dies, she decides it's time for her mom to go for sure

she was harshly trained by her mother for 7 moons, 7 whole moons of hell, and her mom was smaller than her

leo was meant to be her mother's successor after all

so she used it to her advantage and she took her mom to the highrock, then fought her right there in the middle of camp

the fight would only end if one of them died, and they both silently agreed to that. and leo ended up winning with the assets her mom taught her

so the clan wakes up to leo with her dead mother beside her, face stone-cold, and she says that the reign is over

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

d amn

cycries - 07/26/2017

but no one talks

there's no applause

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

holy shit because everyone is mommas follower

cycries - 07/26/2017

leo expected to be a hero by killing this tyrant, by lifting this burden off her clan

e xaactly

even the elders that said they hated her mother didn't applause

she wasn't a hero

she was just another murderer, just like her mother, and just like her mother wanted her to be

even though the apprentices wanted to leave, even though the elders wanted everything to be normal again

they knew that things weren't over because the elders had been having dreams, and one of them had been translated:

"the leopard cannot change its spots"

a single line, no tricky riddle. it was obvious by now because leopard had just murdered her murderer mother

she left the highrock silent just like the clan had been when she killed a tyrant

she had a panic attack in the leader's den

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

holy shit

cycries - 07/26/2017

even when her mother was dead, leo was her gamepiece

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

THATS DEEP

cycries - 07/26/2017

I LOVE LEO SO MUCH LKDJSAFG

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

OIHDKJD SAME

cycries - 07/26/2017

so basically she dwells in the leader's den for a few days, just,, soaking things in

she sits in her mother's spot. it's comfy. she likes it

she eats first like her mother. she likes that too

she knew of the prophecy now

she didn't want to be bad, and she couldn't accept that she was just like her mom without even realizing it

leo couldn't accept the fact that she was manipulated so badly that 50% of her pov was fake

often, she'd wonder if her mom planned every little thing

teach and trick her daughter, make her think she's right, then she turns into her mother

leo was practically a carbon copy of her, even when it came down to the color of their pelts

except that she didn't want to be like her mom and she would do anything to escape her destiny

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

thats

deep

cycries - 07/26/2017

i rly lrly rlyrlyry love her

she does everything she can to be a good leader

she lets things go back to normal and her mother's original followers were too scared to protest

because this cat killed their leader

she talks with the warriors that were apprentices when she was an apprentice

she apologizes formally to the clan in general

everything is nice for a while, she's almost forgotten about who she's supposed to be

but when a group of rogues established themselves on the clan's territory and refused to leave, leopard ordered that the apprentices be trained just a little harder

she ordered that the apprentices be taken along on patrols to see how justice was served

and an elder, the last one left from her mother's reign, they just whispered "that was step one"

and she remembered it all again

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

shit

cycries - 07/26/2017

she didn't realize what they meant for a few days but it struck her in the middle of the night

she had another panic attack, like that one when she was supposed to be a hero

she appointed a very good deputy, a deputy that was her age, an apprentice when she was one

a deputy that hated her mom

and then she left

she left the clan in the dead of night without telling anyone because she wasn't going to risk anything

she wasnt going to risk being her mom

in a way, the way she left was just like her mom. she left her clan in a time of need just like her mom ignored her children in a time of need

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

this is

deep

cycries - 07/26/2017

leo is my daughter

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

leo is a leo

cycries - 07/26/2017

for sure

she lives as a loner and goes by the name chai

there was a chance an ex clanmate recognized her with the name leopardspots

and im THINKING abt this part: she and this cat stumble upon each other when they were passing by

and this random cat recognizes her

cycries - 07/26/2017

they say "hey, what's your name? i used to know someone that looks just like you"

she stares wide-eyed for a moment

it was her sister

the only living sibling

and leopard just says "i'm chai, people tell me that all the time, hah"

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

smash my heart would ya

cycries - 07/26/2017

saldlhgsadjh and then her and her sister talk

become friends

they learn things about each other they didn't know before bc they didn't talk when they were apprentices

leopard learns that her sister used to look up to her, thought she was brave for ending the dark ages of the clan

she learns that her sister thought she was fearless

leopard thought her sister was shy, destined to be a medicine cat, but it turned out that she was just as strong

muscles rippled under her pelt and she reveals in time that she left the clan because she thought something was missing

she thought her family was missing so she went to look for leopard

leopard still couldn't bear to tell her because leo had left her sister

they traveled together, became best friends, and they met other cats too

soon, they had a little friend group, and one of them suddenly asked the pair if they were sisters

they looked like sisters, after all, but leo's sister just smiled and laughed "no", while leo was left looking at the ground

i think i'm gonna make the part with her sister canon

but i don't know what to do next

one option is that she sticks with chai and eventually becomes chai just in general

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

i think that's a good idea

cycries - 07/26/2017

but another one is that she leaves her sister for the second time bc she cant handle not being able to tell her

like she's so afraid of being leopard again and then she does a totally leopard move and leaves

just disappears

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

shit im so conflicted

cycries - 07/26/2017

same

if she was chai, she'd be cool on the outside but she knows she's living a lie

but if she ran away, she'd be even more guilty and she'd feel even more like her mom

she'd watch every movement she makes to make sure she's not too much like her mother and she's practically afraid of herself

because she's just a good guy with a bad past, she says

and if i ever roleplay w her then i want the development to be like,, she eventually has to forget everything

bc her concept is trying to be true to herself and trying to be her own person but she's just like her mom

Tiredd - 07/26/2017

this is so deep i cant even

cycries - 07/26/2017

i want her to be happy someday

ok
