located hereA truly massive cat with thick fur
Name: Tigerstorm
Gender: Male
Age: 32 Moons
Clan: Marsh Clan
Rank: Medicine Cat
Personality: Tigerstorm is a extremely kind cat, easily the gentle giant. While one may assume he would have been a good warrior due to his side, he rarely extends his claws unless pushed to the absolute limit, luckily if he ever ended up in a fight his thick fur offers defense. That being said, Tigerstorm found the rank he had wanted, a Medicine Cat, and his intelligence and willingness to learn quickly helped him with that goal. He is not overly chatty with others, and seems relatively nervous due to his size; he fears stepping on the tails of others.
History: When Tigerstorm came to the clan he was a loner and was traveling with a female who would later be known as Shadowstep. At the time he was called Trigger, mostly by Shadowstep and didn't speak about what his name was before. He was odd when he did speak to clan cats at first, he knew a lot about their ways, he knew and believed in Star Clan. It didn't take long before someone realized that he was once a clan cat from somewhere far off.
Tigerstorm's old clan was a clan of very small cats who relied on their small stature to survive. This mean that when Tigerstorm was born he was unnatural to the clan and considered a bad omen. He would tower over them all and destroy them, at least that was the belief. As a apprentice he was unwanted by mentors who mostly gave him busy work, as no one wanted to hunt with a large, loud cat, and their normal fighting techniques were useless for his clumsy paws. This meant he spent a lot of time around the medicine cat and gathering herbs. He overheard their lessons, and wanted nothing more than to be a medicine cat, though his clan already had one and a apprentice. After a few months his mother passed and he was blamed, and because of this he was chased off. It was much later that his clan learned that Tigerstorm had nothing to do with the passing of his mother but it was rather his father who was involved. By then it was too late to make right what had happened as Tigerstorm was long gone.
Wandering alone for several moons and surviving on carrion that he came across, he traveled past a two-leg town where he met Shadowstep who started to call him Trigger. He never understood why she looked out for him, she was a fighter and he was not. He did use to tell her stories of clans at night when they found places to rest then when she got into battles, he used what he knew of healing to help her when she got hurt, a personal healer for hid personal body guard. The two moved on from the two-leg town and wandered the wilderness. They would speak to other loners who didn't look for a fight and sometimes Tigerstorm would get to talk about local healing herbs and techniques if he was lucky. He found that while they had little formal training loners had their own ways of learning all about the healing properties and thus he learned and exchanged his own information with them.
Eventually Tigerstorm and Shadowstep found the clans and to his shock, Shadowstep bartered a deal with Marshclan to join them. Tigerstorm was happy to have a clan again but was surprised that Shadowstep chose to give up her life as a loner.
