I'm sad to report that Tamarien is stepping down from player status, for health reasons. She won't be an RM right now, though we hope she'll be able to be in the future.

Goldspice will be made available for adoption to RMs and PMs for two weeks first, before we make her adoptable for the public. If you are interested in adopting him, just send an email to council@rivertwine.com and let us know.

Of course, Rainpace and Snowfall are also still within their internal-consideration period; and Chicory and Farscout remain adoptable as well.

So sorry to see you leave, Tamarien. I hope you get better very soon!!

Hi all,
Lately I was starting to miss RTH and I had a look around our website again. I remembered that I had had an interest in Goldspice once and I am pondering with the idea of adopting her in case RTH gets back to life.
I noticed that I do not have a real "feeling" for this character, although she offers so many possiblities (Her kinda failure as temporary acting-chief in the Gathering Storm story line resulting in a possibly disturbed relationship with Chicory. Her not-commitment to a life-mating with Moss... which COULD have something to do with her being the child of Ice... maybe?). Well, those are my ideas I have about her.

Still, I have problems to grasp her character. There is not much to be found about her personality in the stories that Goldspice is featured in, in my opinion. Therefore, I wanted to ask, what YOU think Goldspice is like. What is your idea of her so far?

Hope, I can interest some of you in a little discussion.

Cheers
Peggy

Hi Peggy! How's it going?

She's definitely a character with a lot of potential! It'd be fun to have her adopted again, since I'd love to do more with Copper and Goldspice.

In my mind, Goldspice's temporary chieftainship wasn't a (even kinda) failure. Windburn might have disagreed with her choices but they <i>did</i> get Rill back, Willow was fine alone, and Chicory didn't get to kidnap any cubs and run. ;) So, a terrible situation got worked out. Strife with Chicory would be... interesting, I guess? I don't really associate Chicory with holding onto grudges though. Could be wrong. I mean, she could stress over the choices she took, hash them out with Windburn and other elders, worry about them... or just sort of own them with quiet confidence.

Goldspice comes across as really calm and responsible in the stories that I remember reading, but I always have more of a vivid/warm/vibrant/earthy association with her. I think that partially comes from the way I really love the alternative look of her and Moss, and I think that sort of bleeds into me thinking of them as the sort of hippie lovers who don't really "believe" in marriage/lifemating but are there by their own actions. More of a 'why pin it down with a heavy-weighted name when they can just enjoy every moment of it' than a Goldspice-is-unable-to-fully-commit-because-of-Ice's-influence kinda thing. Not an avoidance issue, just as an unnecessary thing that neither of them really think about or need for reassurance.

Of course, I don't think a lot has really been scripted out in stories, so my opinion could be changed. ;)
