birchbelly is a quiet and rather stoic at first glance, though this tom is really just
weary and tired. birchbelly is general is quiet, not much of a talker and is typic
ally known as the 'lazy and boring elder.' the tom often seems distracted and alo
of, forever seeming caught up in his own thoughts. however, if one gives him eno
ugh time they'll find that birchbelly is a very caring and fatherly cat, with a passi
onate nature for apprentices and kits. the younger cats seem to give him life, he
always seems a bit brighter when they're around and is forever claiming them as
his own. at the end of the day, birchbelly is grateful for his clan and retirement
though misses his younger days when he was more active among the clan.

birchbelly was born into the clan, having a normal kithood alongside his only litt
ermate snowkit. the two did everything together, thus had a hard time at first u
pon becoming apprentices. the two were always causing trouble among the clan
along with their friend frostpaw. the three were good friends and vowed to beco
me warriors together. during one of their trouble-making schemes however, this
would unfortunately not happen. the three had left camp and were messing aro
und among the territory, before a large bird spotted them. aiming for snowpaw t
he little apprentice was carried off in a heartbeat, no matter what the other two
did they couldn't stop the bird from taking snowpaw. birchbelly - then known as b
irchpaw - blamed himself for her death. all they had wanted to do was see one, n
ot lose snowpaw to one. during this time, birchpaw slipped into a depression, but
with the help of frostpaw he got through it. the two spent the moons grieving the
loss of snowpaw and always checked in on each other. it wasn't a surprise when bi
rchpaw developed feelings for the molly. moons later, after they became warriors
the two danced around each other for moons. it was clear the feelings were retu
rned between the two, but birchbelly never made his move. alas, during a parti
cularly bad leaf-bare frostriver and birchbelly were attacked by a fox. the two
managed to escape, but not without injury. frostriver unfortunately, died from h
er wounds and once more birchbelly blamed himself for her death. birchbelly th
en became more quiet and less active among the clan. however, one thing kept
his spirits from falling too low - the love of kits and apprentices, something that
frostriver loved. he makes sure to visit the nursery every day, to visit the queens
and kits and of course pay a visit to the apprentices. to never forget frostriver
and of course, to lift his spirits a bit - even if it is just a little.
