lay it all on me - carole and tuesday

The rain hadn't stopped for days, drumming outside the medicine-den to its own heartbeat. The parched ground had long since drunk its fill. Now the excess spilled over, seeping into nests, caving in dens, and chilling everyone to the bone. By nightfall, the den was thick with the scent of wet fur and the air heavy with bodies pressed together in search of warmth.

Meadowpaw tiptoed between nests, craning her head to check for fevers and making sure there was enough moss to go around. She took her time, whispering reassurances and gentle touches to those frightened by the thunder's growl. Exhaustion tugged at her eyelids, and her limbs felt unsteady, but their comfort came first.

A sudden gust rattled the heather drapery, and Meadowpaw turned to see a shadow stumble in from the storm. Water streamed from their quivering pelt, dripping into the puddles already gathered on the dirt floor. The wind rattled the entrance, punctuated by a sharp crack of thunder.

She gathers a tired smile and hurries to greet them. "Hurry in before you catch a chill." She whispers and with a sweep of her tail, Meadowpaw guides them deeper into the den. "Let's get you dried off and into a nest." The night was far from over. How many more would come?

// You're a WindClan cat, through and through, so bearing the weather in your sleep shouldn't be too difficult... but enough is enough. You're soaked to the bone. In an act of desperation, you enter either the nursery, elders' den, or medicine cat's den and attempt to snooze there.

SHE/HER

Meadowpaw values kindness and remembrance. As a kit, she internalized her mother's lessons, but questioned whether her way is the only way. She has broken free from the heavy burden of her mother's expectations due to their estrangement after the fire. She remains kind and soft-spoken through all she's endured, but is not afraid to speak out for what she believes is right.

Meadow works tirelessly at any task she undertakes, desperate to prove herself capable and worthy despite her disability. Without her mother's guidance, she finds new ways to express herself.

In conversations, she is gentle, thoughtful, and withdrawn, often hiding her struggles, fearing others seeing her as incapable. She continues to have a strong bond not only with her sister, but with her adopted family as well. Meadow uses her new freedom to support and deepen the bonds with her clanmates. Additionally, she has started to explore the more spiritual side of herself…

Her worldview is a complicated mix of hope and frustration. She wants to believe that there's hope at the end of all the suffering, but feels trapped by her limitations. With enough time and support, she may find a way to overcome her limitations and accept herself.
