Lately, the medicine den was starting to get crowded. She didn't mind the company at all, but there was a need for space. While it was technically hers, with so many cats coming and going, it didn't feel like it. There were places in the medicine-den that felt occupied even if they were empty. Gladebloom's nest still lay empty, with insistence from her that they make Dimmingsun a larger one to accommodate his size. Meadowpaw wasn't completely honest with him. If he knew, he didn't ask. She hadn't wanted him to sleep in Gladebloom's old nest. Something about that didn't sit well with her.

She didn't want to struggle for a space of her own anymore. Thankfully their tunnelers seemed more than happy to help. All she had to do was ask. A short talk with some experts who were far better equipped than she to chisel a new section into the medicine-den. "I was thinking over here?" She guides them to a section of the den near the back through a clustering of nests. "I-I would like it to be close enough to keep an eye on things, but far enough to have some privacy?" Her eyes dart between the tunnelers cautiously. "I-Is that possible? Please give me your thoughts." The stability of the roof was most important. The location could be moved, but if the whole den collapsed, then they would really be in trouble.

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In conversations, she is gentle, thoughtful, and withdrawn, often hiding her struggles, fearing others seeing her as incapable.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.
