— note, an idea i had a long time ago because ollie fucking despises clans is if (and i mean if because the likelihood of ollie ever becoming a warrior are slim to none) they refuse it completely, they either continue to keep the name oleanderpaw until they die even though they are a warrior. that or they just drop the suffix altogether and just absolutely refuse to take a suffix at all and demand to just be known as "oleander". that or, well, they stay an apprentice for the rest of their life.
however, demanding to remain oleanderpaw at a naming ceremony sounds pretty dramatic and tbh i think i might go with that because ollie says "fuck the system" whenever possible.

— oleander becoming addicted to mint because they like how it makes them feel; that or some kind of other herb because addiction to these things are common but try to stay away from catnip. i really like the idea of mint because it's supposed to hide the scent of death which probably has some weird psychological effect on ollie. that and if eaten in high quantities it is not lethal but can cause some very serious stomach pain. also, another good one is tansy or thyme which can help with anxiety which also fits ollie surprisingly well? he could easily become addicted to the way that it finally starts to calm him down and he just can't stop once he's started because he likes the feeling of not being constantly a lit fuse but it could probably get to the point where he's literally making himself sick.
— i always liked the idea of ollie wanting to become a medicine cat because she could basically learn no other skills and it would be nice to have a medicine cat/apprentice that is just a total douche and just downright thinks starclan is a hoax.
— development of a serious mental illness or (trigger warning) eventually kill them off in some dramatic way, which, with the way they are would likely be suicide. that or some kind of death caused by another cat they pissed off which also makes a lot of sense for them. ollie is a character not meant to grow old, death at a young age is basically unavoidable.
— i always loved the idea of giving them some very bad scars, possibly a scar that rips off a good portion of their face/chest area. i liked the joker smile but because the joker is fucking gross and i refuse to be connected with him at all i might just... not do that.
