In the Crossfire [ fade's plots ]

Russetfrost is an outgoing creature at heart. He’s bold and extroverted, taking comfort in being surrounded by other cats and struggling to work out a reason to care if he’s sent out alone. He’s a fairly irreverent sort of cat, he only started showing the Clan leadership the respect deserved of them towards the end of his apprenticeship and still has absolutely no respect for the experience and age of senior warriors. Respect to Russetfrost is something earned through action rather than surviving longer than others – basically he can be a real self-indulgent brat. He’s also a giant flirt, it’s pretty much his default greeting to anyone older than 15 moons.

Russetfrost is an easy going, relaxed and outgoing cat. It’s not a stretch to assume that he’s got a collection of cats who simply find him easy, amicable company. He’s entirely content to just slot himself into as many social circles as possible, most relaxed when he’s amongst others, no matter if they’re proper ‘friends’ or just cats he’s vaguely friendly enough with that everyone tolerates each other. As for close friends I’d love him to have a couple but (as will be elaborated on below), Russetfrost has developed a sort of self-reliance that’s stupidly made it difficult for him to rely on others. So it’d be nice for him to have someone who forces him out of his little narcissism bubble and realise “oh look other people are competent too”.

The flip side to his gregarious nature is that Russetfrost is impulsive and more inclined to follow his gut than an order. His instincts tend to be good and he keeps his head under pressure but this has created a cat who’s more inclined to trust himself than others. Not to mention he’s an insufferable flirt. I would not be surprised to find that there are RiverClan cats with distinct issues with him. As for cats Russetfrost isn’t a fan of: warriors who behave like they’re Clan deputy, cats who just follow orders blindly, cats who place the warrior code higher than individual lives. He’s not a cat who angers easily but that doesn’t mean he’s not a judgmental jerk.

Oh god. Okay. So Russetfrost’s a truly dreadful flirt. He’ll flirt with anyone and anything by way of a greeting and, generally, there’s no real intent behind it. That said he’s entirely open to flings or casual relationships while I work on something bigger for him. On that last front he’s pansexual and panromantic with heavily poly leanings. For an actual relationship I’m looking for 2 or 3 other cats, whether everyone’s involved with everyone or there’s combinations within it is all up for discussion honestly. I just want a few cats with chemistry aha. Russ needs some cats to love and smother with affection.
