Ok, lett uce (Ha? Lettuce? You know? Like let us?) begin.

Alright. So, some of you are coming here just having started your story. You have no idea whatsoever what you are doing. Or some of you have come here in need of some help after starting your story and realizing; "Oh $%#! I need a prophecy, don't I?"

Well, I'm here for all of you.

If you've already started your story, then I suspect you have already created the character(s) necessary for your prophecy. But still, this section could help.

A quick word on do's and don'ts on creating your character.

So, we have GreenteaBramble. He is super kind and perfect, a reincarnation of the Mary sue herself. What could possibly be wrong with him?

1. Greentea. Why the heck would cats know what green tea is? Also, that is two words lol.

2. Bramble. Hah, not saying I hate Bramblestar or something, but just try to put shorter words as the suffix? Please?

3. The "B" in Bramble. Suffixes NEVER get uppercased for any reason, because they are never at the start of a sentence or are nouns. Sorry, friends, but this is a no-no.

4. Mary sue. No, I don't have anything against poor Mary, but I will say that no dang person (or cat) is perfect. "Oh, look at that I just caught ten mice and thirty voles and seventeen (and a half?) squirrels on my BORDER patrol. I just got made an apprentice yesterday. I just got lucky, I guess!" No. Please don't hurt me like this. More than enough said.

Ok, but now that you told me how much you hate poor GreenteaBramble, tell us how to fix him!

1. Green. Even though green is a bit underrated for a prefix, it still works far better for poor kitty.

2. Fur. Stripe. Foot. Tooth. Fang. Cloud. It's better than bramble, in my opinion...

3. --fur. --stripe. --foot. --tooth. --fang. --cloud. Bam, lowercase.

4. Ah, personality. Here are some traits that Greenfoot can have: He's an impatient tom with a kind heart but struggles to perceive complicated topics. Greenfoot is lighthearted and friendly, but cautious when he doesn't know somebody. Sometimes, he MISSES A SQUIRREL OR TWO. Better, right? He could probably have some more traits, but everybody, even the main character, must have some bad or unwanted traits. Also, Greenfoot's enemy, Voletail, has got to have some good traits! Nobody is all bad, not even Hitler (don't quote me on that).

Ok, you have your character(s)? Great! Let's move on to step two!
