Tangleberry

Description
Grey and white Turkish Angora with pale green eyes and a scar over his nose

Personality
Tangleberry was a very tolerant cat, almost never getting angry unless constantly provoked or annoyed. He was quite reserved and kept to his duties to busy himself, as he wasn't too interested in getting too involved with how the clan was run outside of his den and knowledge. He was a great teller of advice and didn't pry into clan gossip, as that didn't interest him as well. He took his duties seriously and would always try to help his clan mates as best as he could.

History
Tanglekit was born to two very strict and ambitious cats, Willowwhisp and Arcticwaters. At his first moon of life, nothing was expected of the small kit, though once three moons went by, his parents were on him and his sibling Dewkit. They were expected to be strong and well-known in the clan, opposed to their parent’s background lives in the clan. When the two became apprentices, it was Arcticwater’s perfect time to train his sons secretly, to make them vicious and unbeatable in his mind. All wasn’t too bad at the start, the two would get some scratches seeing as they used unsheathed claws in battle with their father, but nothing to worry about. Willowwhisp refused to coddle her kits and soon showed close to no care for their emotional beings. This treatment went on for some time in the middle of their apprenticeship, leading up to their final assessment. Worried his sons wouldn’t meet his standards in the final assessment, he initiated one last session with Dewpaw and Tanglepaw. When the two met at their usual place, Arcticwaters was hidden in a fern thicket, ready to strike out. When he did, he pounced on Dewpaw, slamming the tom to the ground with a teeth-shattering force that rendered the apprentice unmoving. Tanglepaw pushed his father off of Dewpaw, causing Arcticwaters to strike out with an unsheathed paw, connecting with Tanglepaw’s nose. Refusing his father’s advances in the fight, Tanglepaw rushed over to his brother, panic rising with he couldn’t see the tom’s white and grey pelt moving with his usual steady breaths. Dragging his brother to camp, it was confirmed that Dewpaw’s spine has been snapped and ribs were broken, resulted from great force slamming into his back. He was buried and Tanglepaw was so devastated that he refused to become a warrior, wanting to heal rather than hurt like his parents expected of him. Before his final assessment, he confronted the leader and became a medicine cat apprentice. After hard work and patience, Tanglepaw became Tangleberry as he was named a full medicine cat.
