Bronwyn was currently climbing up a tree. It's what snow leopards were meant to do; they had tremendously powerful legs, and they were made for climbing steep cliffs and leaping down mountain faces.
Since she had hooked claws, it was easy to scale the tree in only a few seconds. She made her way up to about halfway up the tree and leaped up the rest of the way, before settling on a thick branch and taking some time to glance at the world below her.
It was peaceful up there, in the trees. Sure, she liked socializing, but it was nice to spend some time alone, listening to the sounds of the forest.
The Lady stretched out on the branch, hooking her front legs around it to stay on.

There was a reason Bronwyn wasn't a part of the Warfare guild; fighting wasn't her thing. She didn't like to fight, and she wasn't exceptionally good at it. Sure, she could hold her own in a battle, but she wasn't exceptional.
This didn't stop her from accepting Lucifer's request to spar. He was a good friend, and it'd be fun to spar against him for a bit, see how he fought.
The Liege sauntered forward, an expectant grin on her maw. She stopped a few feet away from Lucifer, chuckling before she spoke. "Alright, Lucifer, why don't we get going? You can make the first move."

Bronwyn nodded along, only piping up after Phantom had spoken.
"I'm agreeing with everyone- I think the applications should be pretty simple too. Only friendly people will apply, I think; what if we have a thread where anyone who's interested can apply with their activity level or something and choose from there?"

Bronwyn watched Lucifer as he circled her, makin sure to tense up in case he attacked her. He did, and he only managed to knock one paw astray before Bronwyn realized what was happening and tensed up even more. Lucifer's paw hit Bronwyn's with a thwack, but was only off-kilter for a second before she regained her balance and straightened up.
The femme stepped back, making it seem like she was trying to calculate her next move. She stood there, tensed up, watching Lucifer with a curious smile on her face. Her eyes were darting from Lucifer to the area behind him, looking for some sort of stick or rock that she could lift up and hit him on the head with.
She continued to stand, almost crouched, as she let her wind elementals sweep under a sturdy stick she found lying on the ground. It picked it up with a faint swooshing sound, but she didn't follow it with her gaze, hoping not to let Lucifer know it was there.
She moved it, with a jerk, over Lucifer's head and let it drop, hopefully stunning him. If it did stun him, the Liege would leap forward, using her strong back legs to hopefully tackle Lucifer and pin him down.

Bronwyn was indeed taken aback by the wings; she was distracted just long enough for Lucifer to flip her over. She inhaled quickly as her head hit the ground, studying Lucifer for a few seconds.
She knew she was stronger than him; she was a bit bigger, but they could certainly hold their own against each other.
She came up with a plan; maybe if she could knock the air out of him, she'd be able to flip him over again and gain the upper hand.
Bronwyn dislodged her hind paws and aimed to jab both of them into Lucifer's stomach, hoping to knock the air out of him. If she suceeded, she'd try to move her forepaws up a bit and suddenly push up, hoping to flip Lucifer over and pin him again.

Bronwyn's eyes widened with alarm as she noticed the mangled form of Arabella lying on the ground. The Liege almost immediately rushed over, holding back a bit to let Arthur do his work.
"What can I do to help?" She asked, her brow furrowed as she looked over her clanmate.

Bronwyn padded in next, a grin on her maw. "Present," she called out, sitting down next to Castiel.

Bronwyn took a deep breath as she listened to Castiel's words, making sure to follow along. She didn't envision a wall; she just closed her eyes and kept calm, trying to focus on her breathing and her own state of mind.
It worked- the femme felt a twinge, as if something was poking her, but there was no pain.

Bronwyn had been out wandering around the territory before she heard the words spoken by her clanmates. Almost immediately, she scaled the cliffs, rushing forward and only halting when Par and Yosafire were in sight.
The Liege inhaled quickly, moving closer to eventually stop a few feet away from Castiel. She knew that something had been wrong with Par, but this was different; this was a possession.
"Stop." The femme said, her voice strong and confident. Sure, this wouldn't get whatever demon who was possessing Par to stop, but it certainly was a start. "Let her go." She seemed cold, insensitive; the femme was truly a bit scared, but she hoped that portraying a stony exterior would cover up the anxiety. They couldn't kill Yosafire; she was too pure to be killed. Too kind.
Bronwyn spoke again, a snarl threatening to rip through her words. "Let them both go."

It was a lot to take in, but Bronwyn had her response mapped out; hopefully she'd be able to offer up some advice.
"I think that we need to find someone to fill up the Councilman of Espionage position, but there aren't too many prominent figures in the guild of Espionage right now. Maybe if you make an announcement about it at the next meeting, people will be more aware of the positions and what they can do to gain them. Also, I feel like the newcomer badge is given out a bit swiftly. I know it's good incentive, but maybe it should be given out a bit later? I'm not sure how that would work though; I'm thinking you give newcomers a shoutout at their first week in, but by the second week it seems a bit late to give them the badge. Partyanimal and Lewis are good candidates for promotions, but I don't know what they'd be promoted to. Maybe just a shoutout? Ah, there are also lots of good candidates for Nobleman; I don't know if it's too early on to decide yet, so we should probably just keep a look out. I think people are joining but they end up being completely inactive, and there's not much incentive you can give if they were never active in the first place. Guilds being open to everyone might help boost activity and it could get newcomers to stay; I've always felt like being in a guild gave me an important role. It made me feel a bit needed, you know? I think Junkpaw and Fairykit should be bumped down; if they aren't, they need warnings. Ah, that's it for now, I think."
The Liege finished speaking and took a deep breath in, waiting for another one of her clanmates to give their input.

"I don't know what bindweed is, but I can get some sticks, if you'd like? I see some right over there," Bronwyn said, rushing over to some shorter sticks strewn about on the ground. She picked up a few in her mouth and shook them to get the dirt off, before running back over to Arthur and depositing them by his side.

Bronwyn didn't know Tsukishima. He was the leader of the Espionage Guild, and that was about it. He was her superior, and she respected him for it.
And so, when she saw the body, she felt no twinge of remorse, or of sadness. Sure, it was hard to see a clanmate die, but he wasn't close to her.
And yet, Bronwyn felt her maw curve into a gentle frown. It was unfair, dying like that. What if he had died alone? What if he had bled to death, hoping and wishing for someone to come by?
The snow leopardess stood there for a few quick moments, stony and somber. She watched Tsukishima's body, waiting. For what, she didn't know; she simply stood there, waiting for something to happen. For something to click, for someone to suddenly find a missing piece of evidence that showed everyone who had killed him. She stood there, waiting for emotion to ring out within her, for tears to suddenly start streaming down her face.
Whatever she was waiting for never came.
With a quick intake of breath, Bronwyn turned to the side and began to briskly pad away. Her quick padding slowly turned to a full-blown sprint, and the Liege ran, down to the beach where everything was just a little quieter and softer and gentler. Where Bronwyn didn't have to wait.

Bronwyn padded over as well, her curiousity being sparked by the sound of muffled voices. She pushed through some underbrush, padding forward and stopping next to Jericho with an endearing smile on her maw.
It seemed like someone had already asked Moonpaw what she was doing, so Bronwyn kept quiet, waiting for her response.

Bronwyn perked up at the mention of IC Choice Awards. She grinned, nodding along as Yosaf spoke. "Yeah, that'd be great! But, uh, why Easter eggs? It's not Easter, right?"
