Fishleap

Sorry to Robo and Misty, but there are too many (or rather, better reasons to choose fishleap) cons to Lightningstrike and Swiftsand. Okay, so no-one tries to nuke me or verbally attack me why, I'll explain why I chose Fishleap:

Fishleap: Why I chose him: well rounded, and slow to anger. Good thing about slow to anger, helps whne he's in a very hassling scenario. Plus, he's RPed by Robo, who (as far as I've seen) is on pretty much the most active person I've seen so far.

Why I wouldn't: Well, his description has weird time frames, for example 'wishes to have a mate and kits some day' but he already has a mate and kits. double crossing? Or just a freudian slip? Also, the 'loner but quickly accepted, used to be in another Clan.' Would his loyalty be torn if he had to choose? probably not, but... I'm given the benefit of the doubt.

Lightningstrike: Why I might've chosen him: Rped by Ash. Ash is a great RPer to RP with, and is very active. And is patient, and dependable. Lightningstrike is kind, always thinks of others, Loyal, would always do anything for a friend or family. Pretty much perfect. BUT.

Why I didn't choose him: Rashness. If he was hassled, and was stuck between a risky solution that could put an end to a war, or a slow but steady strategy that would take ages but would end with better casualties, I wouldn't like to know what he'll choose. Certain cat he likes--what if that she-cat betrays the Clan? There's no mention of who he likes, and I'm too busy to scan every page to look for hints. (and yes, I'm putting this here so someone will tell me)

Swiftsand: Why I could've chosen her: She's kind to the future warriors (the kits) a great hunter (would be needed in times of scarce prey) would die for her Clan (loyalty's what everyone likes, right?) fast (needed for resuining or distracting enemies. RPed by Misty, who's nearly as active as  me (and we all know how active I am, right? No, wait, that's insufficient...) nearly as active as Ash, as far as I can see. Very patient. And would be a good choice.

Why I didn't: shy (diplomatic mission with weird, dangerous cats: danger of hiding in fur (not very successful) and might be misunderstood (Is that a war I see looming in the distance?) So, Shyness is not really a good leadership tool. Acting, yes. Shyness, no. Not the best fighter: Normally, this would be okay, but what if she needed to protect her Leader's last life? Or her Clanmates, in a one-on-one duel? Is 'not the best fighter' below average, or just below the best? We can't take that risk.

So, I chose Fishleap, I think it was. Was it? Yeah, I think so. So, Fishleap. Drago says that too.
