Theme:
You have just joined a colony of red squirrels! They have a very strict pecking order, so please make this clear in your post. (I’ll post the different ranks down below) All of us have red, orange, reddish brown or dark grey backs, and usually white or grey undersides, and tufts on the tops of our ears. We all live in one colony, but it is divided up into different “families” which each have their own drey, or nest, made of leaves and branches. This is usually shared by a female, her kits, and possible her mate. The higher-ranking the family is the bigger drey it will have. Dominant animals are usually, (but not always) bigger and older than the subordinates. Mortality rates are very high, so I’m going to let each person have two characters (max) in case one of them dies.

Conflict: Humans have recently invaded their boreal territory, in search of deer to hunt. Humans are new to the squirrels, so at first they are just cautious. When the humans start to hunt other animals besides deer, and the squirrels are included, they approach a state of crisis.
Ranks:
Alpha Male (One per colony)
Alpha Female (Up to two per colony)
Beta Male (One)
Beta Female (One)
Subordinates (Unlimited, both genders, are submissive to the alphas and betas, but may form their own pecking order amongst themselves)
Kits (Up to six per nursing female)
Adolescents (Kind of like teenagers, this is when a squirrel would start foraging for food on its own)
Nursing mothers (have to care for their young)
Pecking order is shown by the position of the ears and tail. A dip of the head is required for a higher- ranking animal, plus a flattening of the ears and maybe even crouching down on a branch for an alpha. Giving gifts of food or bedding to one of the alphas is a good idea as well.
