Crowspots's Links
She sees Rimestar as many things--confidant, leader, friend, and her own child. She's never been able to shine as brightly as Rimestar could.
They chose Crowspots as their deputy because they trusted her above all, yet they accept that she wanted a different path in life. Just as they had once been saved from dogs by Redstar, they saved Crowspots from a dog attack.
Though she spent many moons without him, Redstar never left her mind.
He's renowned for being the founder of CicadaClan, but it was all for Crowspots and their kits.
As her oldest surviving kit, Birdlarch spent the most time with her in the end. She appreciated his quiet understanding of her grief.
He was so used to Crowspots being the clan's protective shadow that it was jarring when she died. He kept expecting her to return to camp at any moment.
She took Fluffcrackle for granted for a while but after mourning him when he was swept away by the river, she grew to appreciate him much more. She became somewhat dependent on him for a time, which became a tragedy when he passed away before her.
He cares for his mother, but his kind and upbeat personality doesn't mesh well with her constant pessimism. He greatly respected her as a mentor. However, she began to collapse emotionally over time, so he found himself unwillingly becoming a pillar of support for her.
