=Maplefoot=

[Panic]

Name: Maplefoot
Age: 50 moons
Gender: Tom (Male)
Clan: ThunderClan
Desired Position: Medicine Cat
Appearance:

Maplefoot is a bit of a large cat, but because of his age of 52 moons he's usually hunched over. His medium length pelt is a dark brown color with jet black vertical streaks. He has deep amber eyes which he usually keeps narrowed. His face holds a few scars from his past years, making him a bit scary to kits.

Personality:

Maplefoot can be sort of "mean". He always gets straight to the point whether it's hurtful or not. He's usually not very open to others about himself. He's very confident in himself, a strong believer in "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" which is the main reason why he hasn't had an apprentice. But sometimes he can put his grouchy personality aside and joke about his age.

History:

Amber eyes were filled with rage as the kit stormed around. Why did everyone have to annoy him? So what if he didn’t want to play! How hard is it to be left alone sometimes? It was especially annoying with that one kit, Rosekit, always hanging around. Why couldn’t all of the other kits just grow up? Apprentices wouldn’t act like that. Maplekit laid down looking up at the star filled sky. Everything would be better if they were apprentices…

“What are you doing?!” A yowl erupted as the tom-kit was about to fall asleep. It was Stonewhisker, the medicine cat. “Kits can’t just sleep outside, you’ll get too cold. Come on, back to the nursery.” Maplekit frowned, why was that old she-cat here? “I don’t want to go back!” He protested. “I wasn’t sleeping anyway.” Stonewhisker growled. Maplekit narrowed his eyes and looked away. The she-cat sighed, looking up at Silverpelt. Maplekit slowly turned his head to look at her. “StarClan’s been so silent recently…” The she-cat murmured to herself. “Are you reading the stars?” Stonewhisker looked down at the kit. “Hmm…? No, I’m just looking at the sky.” The smoky grey she-cat smiled. “Why, are you interested?” Maplekit looked down. “Kinda…” he replied.

A few moons later his apprentice ceremony arrived. Maplepaw was now the medicine cat apprentice, leaving Rosepaw to feel a bit broken inside. But still, everyday she visited him, the tom growing happier because of his apprenticeship. If the two were to share fresh-kill Maplepaw would constantly talk about Stonewhisker and how great his training was. Rosepaw could only smile and nod. Moons of apprenticeship passed as Maplepaw’s fondness for Stonewhisker grew and he received his warrior name Maplefoot. That is, until everything came crashing down.

It was a battle waiting to happen; rogues had been scented multiple times. The outsiders flooded into ThunderClan territory as the medicine cats were called to the scene. Maplefoot and Stonewhisker used the simple fighting moves they knew; desperately trying to help their own cats as well. Everything went so fast. Maplefoot could barely keep track of his own paws. He struggled to keep up with everything. The memory from so long ago faded and he could only remember so much. A silver pelt falling, an unknown cat dashing away somewhere else, and blood, endless blood. Everything had come to a screeching halt.

The next thing that had happened (that he could remember) was a few warriors carrying Stonewhisker’s body away, to be buried.

Meanwhile, a certain she-cat smiled with delight. For so many moons she had waited in the shadows alone as Maplefoot spent all of his time with Stonewhisker. Roseheart’s time had finally come. That old medicine cat was out of the way, and Maplefoot would come running straight into her paws. But Maplefoot never tripped over a rock and fell into the river leading to the gorge.

Maplefoot grew old in time and he has come to accept that he needed an apprentice. Although he wouldn’t be able to stand being around some stupid little kit who had no idea what they were doing, he knows he won’t live forever.

I know the history jumps around a bit. But I wanted to portray what happened in the best way I could.
