kithood 0-6
regular 
parents are classic case of opposites attract
juncokit and ravenkit
also seem to be opposites
junco bubbly, sweet, and outgoing
raven much more awkward, spends lots of time with his parents and the elders
jaybranch comes to tell stories to them 
ravenkit is enamored with the history and promptly bugs the hell out of them until apprenticeship

apprentice 6-14
struggles with warriorhood
not motivated, not good at making friends
juncopaw social butterfly, ravenpaw not jealous but a little lonely and lacks any drive
good at learning the theories, gangly and long limbed and bad ast executing
failure makes him want to give up
jaybranch pulls him aside and asks him if he wants to study as a historian
oh golly yes
jay tells him he has to become a warrior first
bummer but its the kick he needs
graduates 2 moons later than junco

warrior/historian student 14-30
jaybranch retires a moon into his warriorhood
his only student, skyfeather, becomes the new historian 
raven doesn't like her as much but promptly becomes their student
joined by another student, dusktuft
very sweet cat, has the social charisma that ravengaze lacks
they get along, have good debates about history and tradition
raven struggles to think outside of what history has shown them, dusk good at adapting their thinking 
they are skyfeather's primary students
skyfeather gets sick later on
dusk and raven both assist her with duties, but her health is degrading 
coughing fit or smth, sends one of them (dawn) to get the medicine cat
sky confides in raven that she knows her time is up and she hasn't told russet/birch her choice
wants him to tell them that she wants dusk as the next historian....tells raven he's a wonderful student but too inflexible with his thinking
she thinks mist is too traditional and that dawn can help facilitate change, wants them to continue working together and perhaps they can even make it so the role can be two cats, one who studies the past and one who looks to the future
passes away by the time dawn is back with medicine cat
russet and birch join them
oh no we don't know who
uhhhh.....it's me, raven says. she picked me. 

historian 30-51
guilty that he lied his way into the role but dawn isn't even mad thats how good of a cat they are dammit
raven maintains friendship with them, but feels like everyone (leader, deputy, dawn) knows that he lied
anxiety heightened for a while, but aha no one approaches him 
settles into the role, much more traditionally minded like skyfeather's predecessor, jaybranch
has no social skills, but enjoys his studies enough that he is able to be a good story teller...passion shows and it's enjoyable, but he's pretty awkward to be around otherwise
not afraid to point out inconsistencies in others stories, even at gatherings...not charismatic about it tho 
not a fan of russet and birch retiring together ('thats not the way things are done.' 'why not?')
battle 
fun fun, raven references old battle plans from history to advise violet
afterwards, talk of change, mistclan struggling 
dusk is a loud voice of the group that desires change, raven is upset by this 
he has generations of records of how things have been, why should they change now? 
generally unconcerned with violets skepticism towards his role...he has no reason to lie, but does not attempt to persuade violet of that. it's simply the truth. 
skeptical of lotus's reasoning that loners took their kits, but in the same mindset, sees no reason why lotus would lie
strives for trust after his lying to get into the role...determined to not let himself be disgraced and have that written into history

Pre-Plotting: Ravengaze is the historian of MistClan and aligns heavily with the roots of MistClan's plot. History cannot steer the Clan wrong and tradition exists for a reason...it would be foolish to change their ways in the face of one adversity. 

Family: Ravengaze has never been particularly close to his family. He and his sister, Juncoheart, couldn't be more dissimilar, Junco being a social charmer while Raven does everything he can to avoid the social spotlight. She has made several attempts to close the distance and understand her brother more, but a lack of effort on Raven's side has soured the relationship. 
Friends: Friendship has never been very high on Ravengaze's priorities. His closest friend would be Dusktuft, a fellow student of the historian role. Ravengaze clumsily navigates the friendship after lying about Skyfeather's desire for Dawntuft to be the next historian and fears what Dusk will think if they find out. 
Romance: Never something Ravengaze has really considered or devoted much time to. He struggles stepping away from his studies for such things. 
Rivals: Ravengaze never cared enough about his warrior training to develop any rivalries. The closest thing to a rival he has had is Dusktuft, though it was mostly one-sided on Raven's part as he strived to be a better student to Skyfeather would pick him.
