Who's your friend?

[Multi-Facets]

Well.... maybe so. If it's not pretentious.

Thank you for your kind words, everyone.

So where're everyone else's lists for the elves who haven't been charted? I'd like to see their impressions.

I know, I'd like to see the admins characters and a few others! Should we start one of these for Plainsrunners and Wavedancers?

Tallspear's Opinions ;D


Evenstar: Likes the tanner, who he finds charming with her playful humor and warmth. However, he knows his gibes at others aren’t viewed well by Evenstar, and Tallspear won’t hold his tongue for anyone.

Firecat: Tallspear finds Firecat to be a great deal of fun, and admires her skill at the hunt. He likes her sense of humor too. He’d especially enjoy spending time with her if he didn’t pick up the slight scent of wariness from her. He’s not certain what’s up, but then again, life could be longer than he knows—he might have time to find out why yet.

Icemark: Has a deep respect and fondness for the elder. Never mind the plants, though. Tallspear will eat those when he has to, but he secretly wonders why anyone would eat them when good, fresh raw meat was at hand. But he knows better than to complain—any food is good on an empty belly, and Icemark’s handy at finding healing herbs too.

Journey: Tallspear finds him sweet, even lovable, but aggravating at times—like a little brother who won’t quit following him around. He can’t understand Journey’s fascination with or attachment to things. They’re just things! Why not leave them alone?

Lightgaze: Tallspear’s just glad Lightgaze is nothing like her sister, Fernflower.

Longdusk: Tallspear is of two minds about this tribemate. On the one hand, Longdusk is dependable, knowledgeable, and has a sharp mind and equally sharp tongue—nothing wrong there. On the other hand, Tallspear has the sneaking suspicion Longdusk wouldn’t know what humor or fun were if both snuck up on him, threw a sack over his head, and hung him by his ankles from the tallest tree in the woods.

Mist: Tallspear respects the healer, but unlike Stormfire, he has no intention of twisting the elder’s tail for the fun of it. Nor is he happy that Stormfire seems to have developed a strong liking for Mist. For one thing, the healer’s ancient; for another, Tallspear’s certain his friend can do much better than an elder he personally sees as a crabby stick-in-the-mud.

Oakstaff: Tallspear likes Oakstaff; he’s a good hunter and defender, and knows how to enjoy life.

Redthorn: Finds the huntress a good elf to be near and talk to; Tallspear considers her as much of a mentor as Icemark.

Silent: This one is strange, no doubt about it. Tallspear isn’t sure what to make of him, except that he isn’t a threat, and he’s a tribemate for all his odd ways. He’ll protect him to his last breath, but has no idea what’s going on with him.

Silvercub: She’s adorable. If anyone laid a hand on Silvercub to hurt her, Tallspear would make sure they found it on the ground next to their head and any other body part he could reach.

Softling: Tallspear has begun to notice that Softling is crossing the boundary between cublike cuteness and young-adult loveliness. Still, she’s greatly attached to the wolves, and she barely looks at him. Ah, well, no problem; he’ll wait.

Stormfire: The two have been best friends since Stormfire learned how to walk, and yet Tallspear has always deferred to her. He loves her for her generous heart and stubbornness, but it’s the love of a good friend, not a mate. Still, they’ve shared furs before and probably will again; theirs is a warm, deep-rooted friendship.

Sunsong: Tallspear has a slight crush on her. He shakes his head at her constant cheerfulness and chatter, but he enjoys her singing and feels lighthearted around her—not to mention that he has a slight preference for blondes. He doesn’t know how Longdusk can resist her technique; it’s worked on him every time.

Thornberry: This is probably the only tribemate that Tallspear would like to jam butt-first into a hornets’ nest. Thornberry rubs him the wrong way, especially with his need to be right no matter what. Tallspear would love to find out if being right would be worth a bloody nose to Thornberry, but Stormfire has expressly forbidden him to try that out.

Whirlwind: If he needed a feminine counterpart, Whirlwind would be it. He admires her spirit and enjoys her company. The two have shared furs, but they love variety too much to become lovemates—they prefer to be “very good friends,” which suits Tallspear as Whirlwind has made it clear that when it comes to lovemates, she also prefers safety in numbers.

Windsoft: To Tallspear, Windsoft has always been a mother figure; he loves her dearly, and for her sake he’ll always keep an eye out for Journey. It’s difficult for Tallspear to deny Windsoft anything.

Wingfoot: Tallspear likes this elder for three reasons. The first is that Wingfoot makes him the best spears he’s ever used. The second is that they both don’t care for Mist. And the third is that they both will help Stormfire in any way they can. Actually, there’s a fourth reason; they share the same love of sniping and sarcasm, and Wingfoot gladly shares his memories of invective past with the youth.

Whirlwind's Opinion


Evenstar: She likes Evenstar, and envies her her tranquility. Whirlwind would give a great deal to be able to just sit and enjoy the Now, and not feel as though she’s fighting within it every moment of her life.

Firecat: Thinks a great deal of Firecat, and plans to extend a warm hand of friendship (among other things). She definitely likes the way Firecat handles her lovemates; there’s a maiden who knows when to shoot and when to unstring the bow!

Icemark: Whirlwind admires the elder for his store of knowledge and his devotion to Redthorn.

Journey: A sweet cub, but too much trouble for Whirlwind to consider him for more than an occasional fur-warmer. She does love the trinkets he sometimes gives to her, though. And she wouldn’t trade his magpie-like obsessions for ten Tallspears.

Lightgaze: Whirlwind is so grateful Sunsong has had Lightgaze over the years.

Longdusk: So gloomy! Whirlwind would love to pin him down and see if she couldn’t lighten his spirit a little. She’ll settle for teasing him until she gets a chance to try that out.

Mist: The healer’s a stick-in-the-mud, and Whirlwind doesn’t know what her baby sister sees in him—not when she could literally have her pick. Still, it’s said that healers are unbelievable in the furs, so Whirlwind wonders if she shouldn’t make certain of that fact for Stormfire’s sake.

Moondew: An interesting prospect, but word has it she’s holding out for Recognition. Pity.

Oakstaff: As Quickflight used to tell her, “Differences make good sparks,” and Whirlwind enjoys the prospect of setting off a few with him. He’s a good hunter and scout, and Whirlwind also esteems competency in her tribemates.

Redthorn: A respected tribemate, but she and Icemark are closer as burrs in a boot.

Silent: Hmm . . . maybe one day.

Silvercub: Whirlwind loves the cubling, but is looking forward to the day when she can teach Silvercub the finer points of hunting food, and hunting lovemates.

Softling: Everyone thinks there’s something wrong with the cub, but Whirlwind can see the signs of a keenly interesting personality coming out in the shy maiden. She’s no simpering butterfly—more like a regal chieftess-wolf who has yet to come into her own. All she needs is someone she can depend on as a mentor and friend, and Whirlwind’s willing to be both.

Stormfire: The baby sister of yore is now Chieftess of the tribe, and Whirlwind knows she’s not walking an easy path. She expects Stormfire to make mistakes, but she also plans to be right there to help Stormfire clean up the mess. She has faith that Stormfire will make a good chieftess, and she won’t veer from it.

Sunsong: Someone fun to tease and joke with. Whirlwind doesn’t mind Stormfire’s attachment to her, but she doesn’t feel as strongly about Sunsong.

Tallspear: Boon companion and all-around good elf to have on hand. They’ve gone stealing from humans and trolls, hunting in dangerous ground, and playing pranks together. They’re also each others’ fallbacks when there’s no one else to share furs with.

Thornberry: Whirlwind settles for poking at this tribemate in the hopes that he’ll stop being so prickly and try to get along with the rest of the tribe.

Windsoft: Whirlwind likes Windsoft, and admires her scouting skills. She’s also a little in awe of her; Windsoft reminds her in several ways of Waterdance.

Wingfoot: Whirlwind finds him a bit dull—too occupied with his fire-stinking weapons—but loves to egg him on when it comes to Mist.

That actually sounds like an idea. I haven't seen this yet for them, but I'll check . . .

Okay, okay, I'll start on my list this week...
