History

40 Moons

He joined Windclan and was quickly apprenticed to Frostpaw. He found this to be a bit overwhelming but he was happy to have an apprentice. He went training with Frostpaw and she managed to catch a rabbit.
41-45 Moons

Magpiechirp met Redstar and quickly felt discouraged by the leader's closed off personality. He also met Hollowfern, which he had a neutral impression on. After that, he spoke to Warblerkit and felt a bit scared to open up about his past as a loner. He then met Puddlespirit and learned about the badger attacks that plagued Windclan. He regretted not being there for his Clan when they needed help, and was horrified by the pain it had caused many of his clanmates. Soon after, he met a cat named Pinetooth who had taken Frostpaw back to Windclan. Pinetooth was sickly and told Magpiechirp to find her mate, Acornhollow. The warrior obliged and found Acornhollow, reuniting the two. After that, he had a run in with a kittypet who was being attacked by Cedarfrost. Magpiechirp begged Cedarfrost to stop hurting the clueless kittypet and managed to diffuse the fight. He guided the kittypet back home, and all was well again. Magpiechirp found Bluefeather, a Windclan elder, half dead on the territory and brought him back to camp with the help of Mallardripple. He met Cloverfoot, who was in the medicine cat den. They had a decent conversation until Cloverfoot's face injury was revealed and she closed off. He met Bloomsprout, as they took a trip to Cloud Lake. Magpiechirp met Nightshadow, who he had a very vulnerable and heartfelt conversation with. While the two warriors walk back to camp, Nightshadow talks about some unfortunate aspects of her life. Magpiechirp pulls her into a hug, which she is uncomfortable with at first but slowly accepts. He also met Ashwhisper and Coldcrash, who he had good impressions with. At some point, he met Fernpaw, Frostpaw's brother. Magpiechirp was introduced to Ospreyfeather, who was visiting Windclan. Finally, he met with Mallowsnag and he opened up about his past a bit.

45 Moons

Magpiechirp was hunting and caught Skunkstripe's prey. However, the other warrior didn't seem upset and the two began to hunt together. They ended up catching a field mouse and talking about herbs, their goals in life and Magpiechirp's past as a loner. After that, Skunkstripe blew on a dandelion and the two ended up playing around in some of the dandelions. The two went to Cloud Lake due to the heat but Magpiechirp's hydrophobia prevented him from swimming. Magpiechirp also took Frostpaw out to his old home, where he picked up an old oak leaf from a dying tree he used to play on. For a moment, he seemed like he wanted to become a loner again but decided against it. The two faced off against a fox and Magpiechirp was scared to let Frostpaw help, since he feared she would get hurt. However, when he was pinned down by the fox he had no choice but to accept her help. Frostpaw became Frostdrift and Magpiechirp was very proud of her. He met Hollowfern again and they had a nice chat. He went to his first gathering and got a bit nervous when meeting Bouldercrumble. He met with Bluefeather again, this time when Bluefeather was conscious. Magpiechirp visited the Thunderclan/Windclan border and met Vexscar. He was very happy to meet a cat who was once a loner, like him. He shared that his loner name was originally Hollow and learned that Vexscar's was originally Scarred.
45-50 Moons

Magpiechirp wakes up in the Dark Forest one night and meets Jayspark. He also meets Blossomsnap and they talk about the warrior code. Magpiechirp admits that the code is flawed, but he thinks it's better to focus on the present instead of the past. Nightshadow and Magpiechirp hang out one night and he accidentally wacks her with his tail. The two share a laugh and go hunting during the morning. He then meets Hollowfern again and his hydrophobia makes him uncomfortable. Hollowfern offers to share her tree den with him while he fixes up his mossbed and he accepts. The tom meets a loner named Storm, accidentally scaring her mouse away in the process. This upsets Storm and she snaps at him. Magpiechirp responds by crying then vowing to catch her another mouse to make it up to her. Storm is sort of stubborn though, and refuses to eat his catch. The tom meets Frostdrift again after she catches a finch that landed in camp. Eventually he meets Blossomsnap again. The she-cat had been eating a rabbit before letting elders and kits eat, but Magpiechirp assumes she had already hunted for the Clan and it was ok for her to be eating the prey. He takes her on a trip to collect flowers to decorate the warriors' den. Magpiechirp meets Nightshadow for a third time when she sits near him to eat and groom.

Personality

He's optimistic and cheerful, always willing to lend a paw to someone in need. He loves flowers and decorates things to try and improve other cats moods. He also likes collecting little treasures, but may get in trouble from being a bit too adventurous in finding them. These treasures are mostly to give as gifts that might cheer others up. He likes to perform magic tricks and play around, and plan out fun events for the Clan. His naive nature can be manipulated. His endless love for everyone might be challenged when he has to sacrifice one for another. He has to learn how to love again and get over his fear of the ones he loves dying. Mags' overprotective nature may be challenged when others refuse his help. He isn't very independent and may struggle if put in a situation where he has to figure things out by himself. He likes making others happy, since he struggles to make himself happy most of the time. He wants to move past his old relationships by making new ones.

Personal Goals

Magpiechirp wants to form new relationships and not be afraid of losing others again. He feels like without striving to get to know others, he won't grow as a cat. He also just wants to cheer others up for the sake of it.

Magpiechirp used to be a very aggressive loner towards Clan cats, attacking and injuring many. He's secretly very mad and bitter at himself and feels like a total failure.

Personality Layers:

The first layer is one Mags' presents to most cats, which is being a generally carefree and cheerful cat. He seems a bit reluctant to responsibility and annoying at times, but his heart appears to be in the right place. Sometimes he can be childish, loud and impatient as well. He is not confrontational in either physical or mental ways and is likely the first one to back down in a fight. He would rather promote peace and make compromises, even if it means rejecting his own personal values.

Deeper down you have a more protective and serious cat. This is often displayed in periods of high stress. This side is due to trauma gained when he was younger, where he had to adopt a different personality for the situation he was in. He usually isn't snappy or grumpy in this state, but quite emotional in other ways. Mags' is letting his fear take over him at this point, along with the anger and bitterness he feels towards himself. This can all culminate in him being way too overprotective, refusing help and forcing others to do things they might not want to do because he believes he knows what's best for them.

Even deeper you reach another personality, one that is conflicting to his outward persona in most ways. He is anxious, fearful and dependent on others. This state is his most vulnerable and he is not quick to let it down to others. He may present himself as a more shy and sad cat who really shows that he still needs the comfort of others to heal from his past mental wounds.

Relationships

Fidget

Mother

Magpiechirp has not revealed much about her other than the fact he misses her and that she's hard-working. Fidget reminds Magpiechirp of simple times and the importance of love and family. However, he also feels loneliness when thinking of her since she wasn't always able to be there when he needed her. This pushes him to want to be there for others in a way his mother couldn't do for him.

Goldeneagle

Father

Magpiechirp speaks that his father was never there for him or his mother and that he is determined to be a better parent that Goldeneagle if he were to have kits. Goldeneagle made Magpiechirp very bitter and resentful of Clan cats. He feels abandonment when he thinks of his dad and is fearful of having it happen again. He wants to be a better father, if he ever has kits.

Turtle Dove, Sable and Tephra

Siblings

Sable reminds him of the power of great stories. He would love to share some of her stories with kits one day. Magpiechirp is reminded of physical strength and his own inadequacies at it. But he is also reminded of not giving up, even when things seem hopeless. Turtle Dove helped Magpiechirp become more social and open towards others. Without her, he likely would've become very closed off and irritable.

Frostdrift

Friend/Past Apprentice

Frostdrift was Magpiechirp's first apprentice. Magpiechirp cares for Frost a great deal, and feels a bit sad to see her become a warrior. He wished he could've been a more active mentor and is sad he wasn't responsible enough to train her regularly. Beyond that, the two get along pretty well. Magpiechirp could consider Frostdrift a friend, since they've known each other for quite a while.

Rosethorn

Past Mate

Magpiechirp has not revealed much information about Rosethorn other than the fact that they used to play mossball together. He also misses her greatly. Magpiechirp learned a lot from her. He learned that his prejudice against Clan cats was wrong, and that he is no better than they are. He made a mistake when he was still too stubborn to join her Clan and it resulted in the two breaking up. This made Magpiechirp realize that he should be more open-minded and being stubborn would only make him lonely and sad. Still, he was the one who decided to let her go and was willing to let her live her life happily, even if they were apart.

Nightshadow

Causal Friends

Magpiechirp is fond of Nightshadow and admires how she preserves even after the tough life she's had. He cares about her a lot and wants to hang out with her.

Skunkstripe

Acquaintance
