Name: Birch
Desired Name: Birchflight
Allegiance: Solitary
Rank: N/A
Age: 10 moons
Birth Moon: Rain Moon 2020
Sex: Tom (he/him)
Appearance:
Birch’s fur is a soft cream colour, not too different from the bark of the tree he’s named after. His eyes are deep amber, and his nose and paw pads are a rosy pink. He has the distinctive stripes of a mackerel tabby, along with a few darker rings on his tail and an “M” shaped marking on his head. While he still has much of his kitten fur, as he grows his fur will take on a sleek quality with a dense undercoat. He will remain long-limbed and agile, with a graceful quality to his build. Right now he’s a bit of a pipsqueak, though.
Personality:
Birch tends to have rather high expectations for himself, and is a bit of a perfectionist, getting frustrated when he can’t do something right off the bat. He is extremely devoted to his family, especially wanting to impress his serious father, and will do as they say without a second thought.
He tries to be as honest as possible, even if it might mean hurting someone’s feelings, because he believes you can’t improve if you don’t know where your faults are. While Birch gets along with others well enough, if he’s stressed or upset he tends to bottle up his feelings and distance himself from others emotionally. He would rather solve his own problems than bother others with them. That said, he will do anything in his power to help those he cares for.
History:
Born to the sleek calico she-cat Dapple and powerfully built tom Cedar, Birch was much smaller than his two siblings Soot and Mist. They feared he might not make it, the three of them being born right before leaf-bare began, but thankfully he pulled through.
Once they were a bit older, it quickly became evident that Birch wasn't as strong as his littermates, especially Mist. His sister had much the same body type as their father and could often best her brothers in play fights. As a result, Birch has something of an inferiority complex, feeling like no matter what he’s not good enough in comparison to his littermates.
Now that greenleaf is nearly here, the three kits have been training with their parents when time allows.
