Berrykit

Redwoodclan

amber eyed red classic bicolor tom

Berrykit takes after both parents in build. Somewhat of a chunky kit, he has sturdy legs but a long body that might grow to be lanky, depending on how much muscle he gains. He'll never be the size of the goliath warriors of his clan, but he will be strong and capable. If anything, this lack of size will push him to train himself to his physical peak.

His red classic tabby markings are mottled heavily with pure white fur, which is short and dense on his frame. His red is heavy mostly on his head, bracers on his front legs, spotting down his spine, and his solid tail. 

His head is round and decorated largely with his red tabby markings, possessing a striking white mark that travels up his nose and onto his forehead. He has innocent amber eyes, a pink nose and frilly whiskers. Altogether his face often gives him a loveable, adorable countenance.

Sweet - Playful - Responsible - Brave - Anxious - Stubborn

Berrykit is a loveable boy, over-affectionate and with not a mean bone in his body. He sees the world as a utopian playground and wants nothing more than to explore it with his siblings. This sweetness can lead to happy days, but also an ignorance of the world around him. As a young cat he will be unprepared for the harsh realities that the island has in store.

He believes that as the eldest sibling it is up to him to follow and enforce his mother's rules and the laws of the clan, which can sometimes make him seem like a stick-in-the-mud, or as a golden child depending on who is perceiving him. Regardless he has no qualms about calling out behaviors he sees as unfitting, and does his best to hold himself to the same standards. 

In stressful situations Berrykit will rise to the occasion, thinking that he must do what is right and what is expected of a clan cat. However any failing or error feeds insecurities within himself that he tries to smother. He worries that no matter what he is capable, it will never be enough to protect and defend his family. And since his father is far away and his strong uncle is dead, he keenly feels the hole in the family that he is trying to fill.

However, his failings and insecurities do not change the fact that the next time he is called to act, he will do so without hesitation again - believing that this time things will go differently.

Father: Chicorypelt
Mother: Daffodilshimmer
Siblings: Bumblekit, Daisykit, Sunnykit

Chicorypelt and Daffodilshimmer chose love over hate. Affection over division. The feelings and needs of the living over the rules and oaths of those that came before them. They had to - depsite their warring clans, they'd found love and sanctuary in each other. It was inevitable, then, that Daffodilshimmer would come to bear forth that love into four perfect symbols of it. Four kits to prove that if the right choices were made, life was about more than war and power.

Before his eyes even opened, Berrykit knew that he was loved. Surely there was no place more comforting and safe than the family's nest, curled into his mother's belly with the scents of his siblings at his sides.

However upon seeing the world for the first time, Berrykit discovered there was indeed something missing, something wrong - no father perched beside their mother. No second pair of eyes watching peacefully over the brood of siblings. His mother's talk of Chicorypelt only leaves the young Berrykit more confused. Where is his dad?
