MULBERRYPAW (SUN) || ROCKCLAN APPRENTICE
gender. she-cat age. 15 moons sexuality. bisexual scent. blackberries personality. Mulberrypaw values power the most. She is somewhat extroverted. In conversations, she is unfriendly, outgoing and critical. She is guided by her head, often strategic and reserved. Her world view is very optimistic. She is self-critical, observant, well-meaning, competitive, ridiculous and scornful. Mulberrypaw is wise, which reflects in her decisions, skills and conversations. She rips apart her prey as she prefers eating smaller pieces, which leaves a mess. Mulberrypaw hates violence, even if she understands that it is sometimes necessary. However, she will always try to avoid war and battles. history. Mulberry grew up having a great relationship with her parents and her brother. They teased each other constantly, but had a loving, close relationship. Mulberrypaw is currently known for her quick speed and agility. Nowadays, she is simply trying to become the best warrior possible and living a happy life.

IVORYADDER || TREECLAN WARRIOR
gender. she-cat age. 19 moons sexuality. bisexual scent. coffee beans personality. Ivoryadder values tradition the most. She is very extroverted. In conversations, she is snappy, argumentative and blunt. She is guided by her heart, often hot-headed and sensitive. Her world view is mostly pessimistic. She is assertive, hardworking, maternal, contradictory, desperate and difficult. Ivoryadder is somewhat clever, which reflects in her decisions, skills and conversations. She enjoys taking naps. Even though Ivoryadder almost always wants a peaceful solution, she almost never speaks up in public. She will talk about it to friends though. history. Ivoryadder's personailty can be likely explained by her relationship with her parents and siblings growing up. Her parents were very immature at the age in which they had their kits, and they quickly grew bored of being parents. Ivoryadder grew up in competition with her two sisters in trying to get their attention. Once she became an apprentice, she would get into physical, violent altercations with her sisters. Her mentor would push her to take that anger out on them and attempt to make her a powerful, aggressive warrior. She has become an excellent stalker and tree-climber due to all of this. As a warrior Ivoryadder's father was killed as a rogue, and she rudely thought he was weak because of it.

SCORCHSKY | TREECLAN WARRIOR
gender. tom age. 47 moons sexuality. bisexual scent. sweet citrus personality. Scorchsky values originality the most. He is introverted. In conversations, he is sympathetic, timid and blunt. He is guided by his heart, often warm and sensitive. His world view is slightly more optimistic. He is cheerful, relaxed, proud, competitive, sly and cruel. Scorchsky is clever, which reflects in his decisions, skills and conversations. He is a wonderful storyteller and enjoys telling tales to an audience. Scorchsky hates violence, even if he understands that it is sometimes necessary. However, he will always try to avoid war and battles. history. Scorchsky had a bumpy relationship with his parents and brother. He had been an awkward kit and it took the love and comfort of his mentor to change his personality. Now he is much better in social situations and seems relatively calm compared to the kit he was.

DOVEPAW (PELT) | TREECLAN MED CAT APPRENTICE
gender. tom age. 12 moons sexuality. bisexual scent. tea tree oil personality. Dovepaw values power the most. He is mostly extroverted. In conversations, he is unfriendly, helpful and mean. He is guided by his head, often logical and cool. His world view is mostly optimistic. He is dynamic, benevolent, religious, stubborn, dependent and easily discouraged. Dovepaw is shrewd, which reflects in his decisions, skills and conversations. He collects pretty pebbles to put them in his nest. Dovepaw's opinions are easily swayed, but he speaks about them often. history. Dovepaw grew up with no siblings, thus his selfish personality seems a little more obvious. His parents were very caring of him, but the loss of his mother truly effects him to this day. He seems bitter about the whole situation. He despises Rockclan due to the fact his mother gained a wound during battle and it became infected and eventually ended her life. This may be why he is a medicine cat apprentice, but he is definitely a more vicious version of one.

personality; He's a good learner and quick at picking up new skills. Mapleseed is an intelligent problem-solver and thinks outside of the box. On top of this, he tends to defy orders from the leader and the deputy if his solution isn't within their limits. He's compassionate and kind, always putting others before him. However, Mapleseed tends to speak his mind whenever and can be talkative.

history; He was born into Rockclan to a queen named Skyriver and a warrior named Elmstalk. When he was a kit, his father sadly passed away in a battle with Treeclan and this sparked his desire to become a medicine cat. Mapleseed didn't want to face a life of death, but he wanted to help others stray away from an early path to Starclan. He studied under Manzanitaroot, the past medicine cat of Rockclan. When she became an elder, he became a full medicine cat. Before she lost most of her senses of smell and sight, she taught him a lot about medicine.

personality; Although she's smaller than most cats, Littleleaf has a large amount of love to hold. On top of that, she's fierce and not afraid to fight if it comes down to it. However, she prefers thinking things through rather than confiding in violence. She also tends to be very logical and ethical. The current violence between Rockclan and Treeclan doesn't make sense to her, but she remains loyal to her clan despite her morals.

history; She was born as the runt of the litter to a warrior named Eaglescar and a queen named Vineleaf, with her sister Flowerstreak. Eaglescar was not a diligent father, so the two siblings grew close to each other as well as their mother. When they became apprentices, a fire swept the camp and killed Vineleaf along with a few other cats. Flowerstreak and Littleleaf got even closer, clinging to each other.

personality; Swanfern is resilient and adaptable to change, snapping back from the toughest of situations. He's also very friendly and peppy, walking around with a smile on his face. The tom is calm in the face of danger and would rather settle an argument than resort to violence. However, Swanfern never wants to be alone and he's always in the company of another clan member.

history; He was born into Rockclan with his sibling. They had a fairly normal clan life until the battles began, and he didn't like how Rookstar was running the clan during such wars. In the midst of it, there was a tom that caught his eye. At 34 moons old, he made the decision to move to Treeclan and Willowstar allowed him to become a warrior of the clan. Swanfern would never admit his true reasons for joining Treeclan, but he joined in the hopes of getting to know the tom better. He's always used the excuse of a dislike towards Rookstar and her temper.

━━ [Appearance] ━━
"Shorthaired, mottled gray tabby-and-white molly with amber eyes and a scarred muzzle."

Salmonsurge is an athletic, sleek-furred she-cat, with broad shoulders and a long scar across her muzzle. She has short, ash-gray fur with black flecks down her back, like fish scales. Her legs and underbelly are a startling white. The backs of her legs are patched with asymmetrical tabby splotches, almost like fins. This warrior's eyes burn with a fiery amber. Though she stands at average height, her muscular build radiates strength. Salmonsurge's most noticeable feature is her short tail, which is about half the length of an average cat tail. She has struggled with this half-tail since birth. Her tail makes it difficult for her to balance when climbing and hunting, but she overcame this after many long days of training with her mentor. She still struggles to climb trees, despite this being a main strength of her clan, and stays low to the ground as much as possible.


━━ [Basic Personality] ━━
(+) persistent, bold, determined, hopeful, hardworking
(n) protective, ambitious, talkative
(-) rash, aggressive, prideful, insecure, resentful

━━ [Personality] ━━
Just as salmon charge up waterfalls, so does Salmonsurge charge through her daily life. Her persistence is her most defining quality. This cat will never give up. In the most dire of situations, her first response will always be to fight onward. Whether her foe is a Rockclan cat, predator, or a really big tree, she will do everything in her power to overcome it. Her brash, opinionated nature often got her into trouble with elders and her mentor when she was an apprentice, but her sharp tongue has only gotten sharper since then. She often speaks bluntly without thinking of the consequences. Her poor judgement of complex situations and others’ intentions can end up worsening things for everyone involved. But stubborn to the core, Salmonsurge genuinely believes her ideas are best for the clan. Safety is her top concern. This ferocious feline is particularly hostile toward Rockclan cats. She will readily leap into battle for her friends and clanmates, defending them at the cost of her life. Perhaps her ambition and anger stem from her insecurities-- she has an intense drive to prove she is worthy of being a Treeclan warrior, despite her limitations.


━━ [History] ━━
Salmonkit was the first and only kit of Foxpounce, a dedicated warrior who loved her kit but spent as little time as she could in the nursery. Born in leaf-fall, she arrived when the salmon swam free in the river that rightfully belonged to Treeclan. Foxpounce filled her little kit’s ears with tales of fantastic hunts and raging battles, building up Salmonkit's pride in her clan's warriors. Notably absent in Salmonkit's childhood was her father. Foxpounce never revealed who the father was, leading some to believe that he had been a medicine cat, rogue, or Rockclan warrior. After all, Starclan must have been displeased since they cursed Salmonpaw with a half-tail. Cats whispered that she must be so awful at tree-climbing because of her Rockclan blood. Foxpounce was quick to shut down these claims, snarling at any cat who dared bully her kit. But these rumors settled under Salmonpaw's skin, leading to a lifetime of insecurity and anger.

Unfortunately, Salmonpaw's time with her mother was short. While on a routine evening patrol with her mentor, mother, and some other warriors, a Rockclan patrol attacked. Salmonpaw received her muzzle scar that day. She would have been killed if Foxpounce hadn't distracted the Rockclan warrior to protect her, giving her life to save her daughter. This experience cemented Salmonpaw’s faith in warriors as guardians of the clan, heroes who defended the weak and never gave in. She wanted to be just like her mother. However, her short tail and poor climbing skills made it difficult to pass her warrior assessment. Much to her chagrin, Salmonsurge finally became warrior two moons late at 14 moons.

• Persimmonheart is her close friend. She feels a connection to her since they both have powered through a physical difficulty preventing them from becoming warriors. Their equally fiery personalities may clash at times, but they will fight for each other as well. Since the kits don't know their father, Salmonsurge will defend Persimmon just as she had defended her own mother.
• Ferretkit, Primrosekit, and Buttercupkit are her favorite trio of kiddos. She's proud to see them get stronger and smarter day by day.
• open for friends, enemies, maybe a crush. would love to have an apprentice.

━━ [Appearance] ━━
"Dark tortoiseshell tabby molly with cloudy jade eyes, prominent ears, and gnarled limbs."

Many moons ago, Manzanitaroot was a slender cat with sleek, medium-length fur. She could perhaps have been described as beautiful, if attracting mates had ever meant anything to her. Her pelt was a rich patchwork of russet and black, crossed with dark tabby stripes. A pair of sharp jade eyes peered out from the flames and darkness of her fur. But as time wore on, she has become but a faded phantom of the cat she once was. Her deep scarlet patches have dulled to faint ginger. Like the twisted branches of her namesake, her frail limbs have become knobbly and gnarled with arthritis. Perhaps most striking are her eyes-- clouded with cataracts, they shine like silver moons. Since she can see little out of them anyway, she usually keeps them half-closed, as if constantly squinting. A set of large ears protrudes from her sunken head, seeming larger than when she was younger as they are the last feature that can still stand tall on her withered body. Though she can barely see or smell, Manzanitaroot is always listening.

━━ [Basic Personality] ━━
(+) tenacious, wise, clever, diligent, loyal, powerful orator
(n) highly curious, imaginative, stern, code enforcer
(-) nosy, bitter, blames herself too much, rigidly follows tradition, won't accept help

━━ [Personality] ━━
Manzanitaroot has had an avid curiosity since kithood, and even in her old age she still gets into every cat’s business. Though soft-spoken as an apprentice, she was never detached from her clanmates. She knows the power that information can have, both in its ability to unveil the truth and ruin a cat. Gifted with sharp ears and a sharper memory, Manzanitaroot listens carefully and does not act until it is wise. When she does speak, however, her powerful voice can seize others’ attention. Armed with a fiery tongue, she will fight for what she believes in. As she tells stories to the kits, her words come alive with the dazzling color and imagery that she herself can no longer see. These memories are the last beacons of light for her. Perhaps that is why she holds onto the past so dearly. Her body crumbling in old age, she cannot help feeling guilty for not being able to serve her clan, as well as bitter for losing the senses she loved the most. The elder insists on helping in the ways she can. She often goes to the medicine den to speak with her former apprentice or the nursery to care for kits. Manzanitaroot lives now for her clan alone, her stony faith in the Warrior Code stemming from an incident from when she was an apprentice. The elder may rest in the caves, but she is always listening for signs of disloyalty. Within her broken body is a burning tenacity. She clings to her traditions in these dark times, just as the roots of the manzanita hold fast to weathered stone.

━━ [History] ━━
Manzanitaroot had a large family, with two loving parents and three littermates. Her sister Anemonekit was the runt of the litter, a tiny scrap of ginger fur. The weak kit had to be taken to the medicine cat’s den for special care. Anemonekit gained strength quickly, leading Manzanitakit to believe that medicine cats could do anything. Manzanitapaw later became a medicine cat apprentice, while her siblings became warrior apprentices. These times were the ones that Manzanitaroot remembers most vividly-- the days when she soaked up every bit of color and scent she could find. With Manzanitapaw’s fervent curiosity and Anemonepaw's rebellious streak, the two got into all sorts of trouble.

They were just over a year old when Manzanitapaw discovered her sister's secret. While out gathering herbs alone, Manzanitapaw caught Anemonelight meeting with a Treeclan molly named Beebreeze at the border. She kept quiet to support her sister, even though the Warrior Code forbade their love. But fighting broke out a moon later, and Anemonelight found herself facing off against Beebreeze's brother Tallfir. He was so devoted to his clan and the code that Beebreeze never told him about her secret love. Anemonelight hesitated, afraid to hurt her lover's brother, and in this moment of weakness he landed a critical blow. No matter what Manzanitapaw and her mentor tried, they could not save her. Manzanitapaw was devastated. She later heard from Treeclan's medicine cats that Beebreeze had become a husk of a cat afterward, no longer speaking to her brother. This forbidden love tore two families apart. Medicine cats could not do miracles, and the Warrior Code exists for a purpose. From then on, Manzanitapaw vowed to never stray from the code or allow another cat to break it.

Manzanitaroot served as a medicine cat for many, many years afterward. Her remaining siblings, Baynose and Chamisebloom, lived long lives and had many kits. A sudden outbreak of greencough struck the clan in Manzanitaroot's senior years, taking the lives of her apprentice Verbenawing and her sister Chamisebloom. Manzanitaroot also caught the disease but barely pulled through so that the clan would not lose both medicine cats. She survived with permanent nasal scarring that took away her sense of smell. Her mother Brightberry had retired relatively early due to clouded vision from cataracts, and the medicine cat unfortunately inherited this condition. Even with her sense of smell almost gone and her vision beginning to fail, Manzanitaroot refused to retire until her last apprentice received his medicine cat name. Manzanitaroot had to teach Maplepaw herbs only using sight, but she was delighted to see her clever apprentice pick up the training so quickly regardless. Though she tried to instill her traditional values in him, he followed his own path and she came to respect that. She felt proud to pass her position down to Mapleseed. Without the senses that had given her so much joy in her youth, Manzanitaroot exists only to recount these ancient stories. Her starry ancestors no longer visit her dreams, probably preparing for her arrival. But Manzanitaroot holds fast to life and does what she can to serve her clan. Before she lets herself fade into Starclan, there remains much to be done.

• Mapleseed is her former apprentice and good friend. She is proud of his medical ability and ingenuity, happy to leave the clan in his care. She often goes to the medicine den to talk with him and help if she can.
• Vaporwisp is her closest friend, a son to her. They have a system of communication through touch. He is the only cat she will allow to help her. Because of his sickly nature, she has cared for him since kithood.
• Cloudwatcher could be her friend if they ever met. They both share a love for the beauty of the world around them.
• does not support romantic relationships between cats of the two clans.
• open for nieces/nephews, grandnieces/grandnephews.
