━━ [Appearance] ━━
"Longhaired white cat with red tabby patches and amber eyes."
Wild hair sticking out in red and white plumes, she's like a toyon shrub in vivid bloom. Her coat is predominantly white with small red tabby patches on her head and spine. Toyontuft stands tall, inheriting the size and strength of her maine coon ancestry. Her fur has always been unruly and it's become even more tangled up since her demotion. Though she struggles to hunt in green-leaf with her bright coat, she hunts her best in leaf-bare snow. Her fighting style relies on confusion and distraction, making full use of her highly visible fur color. She tends to throw herself too recklessly into battle to protect her loved ones. Besides numerous smaller scars hidden beneath her long hair, Toyontuft has a visible scar down her left flank from pushing an apprentice away from an owl attack. The skilled warrior is known for her explosive power and decisive strikes. Her attacks seem erratic to the untrained eye, but they land with dangerous precision.
━━ [Basic Personality] ━━
(+) self-assured, loyal, protective, good sense of humor
(n) stubborn, fierce, ambitious, unpredictable
(-) snarky, willful, bitter, quick temper, acts immature at times
━━ [Personality] ━━
Toyontuft is a spitfire with an acid tongue. The cat has always clashed with authority, and her unruly behavior has only worsened since her demotion. Now that she's an "honorary apprentice", she has indulged more in her impish side. If they'll treat her like an apprentice at her age, she may as well act like one. Her newfound laziness is in stark contrast to her usual assertiveness. She had always been the kind of cat to aim higher. Toyontuft radiates a natural confidence and charisma. She takes pride in being a champion of misfits. The she-cat tends to look out for the overlooked, reaching out and teaching them to become the best that they can be. Devoted to her clanmates, she will launch herself into any kind of danger to keep them safe. Toyon has always had the courage to fight but now she has the courage to be true to herself. As an aromantic asexual, she understands that she can never be happy with her assigned partner. She might be a "lesser" warrior forever, but she'll prove how great she is without a mate.
━━ [History] ━━
tl;dr Toyon was close friends with Tundra and Lion but she destroyed their close bonds by becoming a lesser warrior 3 moons ago. She couldn't reciprocate her mate's affection and she wouldn't become a queen. She had been suffering in this relationship for years. Now, she has finally stood up for herself and she's never going back.
While Tundrastar is grace, Toyontuft is the disgrace. It's shameful for the leader to have a sister like Toyon and they know it. The two of them used to be an inseparable pair, sisters who pushed each other to become better and better. Though Toyon had a natural knack for battle, it was Tundra who taught her the discipline to use it. When Toyon mouthed off at her mentor or took on an enemy too strong for her, Tundra was always there to get her out of each scrape. Toyon cherished her sister's support. The love she felt moved her to reach out to younger cats in the same way, helping fellow apprentices with their training. This was how Toyonpaw befriended Lionpaw. She often sparred with the ambitious younger apprentice. The three of them, Toyon, Tundra, and Lion, became a close-knit trio set on leading their clan.
Toyontuft never had much interest in flirting or relationships, allowing her to keep her head clear and focused on training. She told herself that those were all distractions since Starclan would give assignments in the end. But upon hearing Starclan's pairing for her, Toyon couldn't help feeling this odd sadness twist her heart. She enjoyed befriending the tom but found herself unable to reciprocate his romantic affection. Toyontuft pushed down these feelings to keep up appearances in her clan. Her friend group had to maintain their high statuses to reach for the deputy positions. But burying her hurt slowly wore her down over time. She reached the point when she should become a queen, but the thought of kitting made her so uncomfortable that she couldn't stand it. Toyontuft couldn't make her mate happy and she couldn't make herself happy. This couldn't last. Unable to withstand her suffering, she finally opened up to her sister about it three moons ago. She had the cats she trusted most in the high ranks. Tundrastar had just become leader, and with Lionwind as senior deputy, they were in a position to change the system that had hurt their clanmates for years. But seeing not sympathy on her two best friends' faces, instead humiliation and hurt, Toyon realized she was utterly alone. She had destroyed their bonds and become a traitor to Starclan's will.
But though she's a lesser warrior now, Toyontuft remains unrepentant. She has found herself goofing off and slacking purely to be a thorn in Tundrastar's paw. Toyon is angry that Tundra would care more about the stars' happiness than her own sister's, but she stays regardless. Deep down, she loves her sister and her clanmates too much to ever leave. Her ties to them are strong, perhaps strong enough to withstand the rift that keeps them apart.

Relations:
- former apprentices/mentor, friends, enemies open
- Tundrastar is her sister and was her closest friend, though now Toyon's demotion has created a rift between them.
- Lionwind was her closest friend after Tundrastar. The three of them were a powerhouse trio since they were apprentices, though now they no longer talk.
- Vixenpaw grew up with her "Aunt" Toyontuft often visiting her at the nursery, especially after her mother died. Toyon plays an almost maternal role in the young cat's life. She remains close even though Vixen's father has cut communications with her.
- Toyon loves to help the apprentices train (and annoy them too), especially since she lives in their den now. Think of her as that weird cat lady aunt who lives alone with her 10 cats, only the 10 cats are the apprentices who have to put up with her.
