[full-screen recommended!] ✦✦✦ about Flickerstar ✦✦✦ Hey guys! I have a hot take for you: I like Flickerstar. *dodges flying tomatoes, shoes and frying pans* Ok I know that she's the main antagonist, she's evil, she lied to the whole Clan and all that but hear me out- Her character is really well-written and realistic for what she has gone through, in my opinion. I mean, her mother died, her father fell in love with another she-cat who keeps on acting like she can replace her actual mom, and her "perfect, sympathetic, goodie two-shoes [half-]sister" (quote from Fallingmoon) gets all the attention of both her father and her crush. All the reason to start a villain arc, am I right? /jk But seriously, losing a loved one isn't easy in the first place. Then, Hornetstar getting another mate would have probably made Flickerstar (or Flickertail) feel like he was replacing her mom, which would definitely make her bitter towards him and Lilymist. To add insult to injury, Flickerstar/tail's father calls her half-sister, Amberdust, his "little light". I'm assuming, since you're all reading this series, that you guys are familiar with Warrior Cats? Well then, I would compare Flicker and Amber's situation to something like Ivypool and Dovewing's. Amberdust is their parents' AND the Clan's favorite, so Flicker feels like Hornet has forgotten about his old mate and kits, and instead prefers Amberdust more, causing Flickerstar to be resentful towards her half-sister. Another reason for her bitterness is her old crush liking Amber. Everyone says that Flicker should have been over Briarfang by that point, but to be fair, heartbreak is called "break" because it can break a person (or a cat). I feel like if Briarfang didn't get with Amberdust, Flickerstar would have slowly gotten over him, but I believe that because of her resentment towards Amber, Flicker got into her head that Amberdust shouldn't have more things that used to belong to her: Hornetstar's love, and now, Briarfang's. Plus, her character really contrasts with Amberdust's, which I feel is fitting for a main antagonist. Now, don't get me wrong: I love Amberdust and I ship Amber x Briar. I just really like Flickerstar as a character and I can really relate to her in many ways. ✦✦✦ note to @_-Galaxy_- ✦✦✦ Hey there Galaxy! If you're reading this, I hope that you know that your games and stories were one of the things that inspired me to join Scratch. I remember being a little gremlin and playing Life of A Medicine Cat, feeling very inspired to be a future artist, animator and coder like you (basically I think ur very cool). There's only been two chapters so far, but I'm already invested in the plot and characters. TSoA is a great series so far, and I can't wait to see what happens to Amberdust and HiddenClan in the future! ✦✦✦ credits ✦✦✦ Art by me () on Clip Studio Paint Code by Song is "In Another World" by EJAE (the one who sang Rumi in Kpop Demon Hunters). I think it fits Flickerstar's character really well! Character and series by ✦✦✦ have a nice day guys, make sure to love, star and follow!! (shameless self-advertising: go check out my MAP!!
