╭┈┈┈ + ̊⊹♡ 𓆩 Oakheart 𓆪 RiverClan's Gentle Warrior ╮

❝ The warrior code tells us where our paws should stand... but sometimes the heart forgets to listen. ❞

Oakheart is remembered as one of RiverClan's most honorable warriors.

A loyal son of his Clan. A dependable mentor. A cat with a gentle heart hidden beneath the strength expected of a warrior.

He believes in duty, loyalty, and protecting those who depend on him... Even when his own heart makes things far more complicated.
