Foxtail

is owned by Whiskers
==Description==
===Physical===
The medicine cat is not necessarily huge, standing probably only a hair taller than the average tom, but he's not quite what you would expect of neither a medicine cat nor a kittypet. Foxtail is a very heavy-set tom with a semi-plump physique and thick legs. Frankly, he could probably plant a cat in the ground like a measly flower with a single swipe of his mighty paw. It isn't wise to make him irritated- oh, and that happens quite a lot.
In terms of coat, the tom can be described as medium-short in length of fur. His hairs are a bright ginger in colour and appear to be thicker on his tail, hence his name: Foxtail. He has minimal white spotting found mostly on the tip of his tail and paws. The medicine cat has grass-green eyes and long white whiskers to help guide him in dark locations.
===Personality===
It's easy to get under the tom's skin, but when others understand the source of his anger, they can't help but to sympathize him. Foxtail is somewhat of an over-achiever who (oddly enough) does not appear to handle intense pressure well. He tries his hardest to be perfect in his medical practice and save every single life, but he has failed before in the past with his own mate and kits. As a result, he's grown unstable, and will not tolerate anyone mocking him for neither his skills nor his kittypet heritage.
Pain in the tail? Absolutely. For what it's worth, Foxtail is still a talented medicine cat and he's aware of this status among his clan, even if he's not satisfied with himself. He enjoys using his status of "untouchable" to his own advantage by making his clanmates steam and simmer. Deep down, the tom is compassionate and loyal to MistClan, but he simply loves his duty too much for his own good, so much that he seals himself off from others.
===Skills===
As a perfectionist, the tom has grown into an exceptional medicine cat with surprisingly good memory. While he may be middle-aged and others like to poke fun at him for it, his mind is sharp and his wits are about him. That thing you muttered under your breath about him four moons ago? Yeah- he still remembers it. Outside of grudges, Foxtail's mind holds many other things, such as a plethora of different herbs, their appearances, and what they're useful for.
==History==
===Background===
Fox was born into the comforts and warmth of a kittypet home, adopted by a pair of twolegs and living with them as far back as he can remember. He cannot recall his mother much, but remembers being taken away from her and transferred into another home. He enjoyed the comforts of his kittypet home only up until he was six moons old, when curiosity got the best of him.
He always heard about the wild cats, and he wanted to learn more about them- first hand, in fact. He left his soft life behind to journey to MistClan, where they hesitantly let the curious kittypet in, only because they needed more young cats at the time.
However, as it turned out, Fox didn't have any claws, so they decided to make him the next medicine cat. Foxpaw seemed to excel under his mentor, and attained the full rank of medicine cat in no time.
Foxtail wasn't always grumpy, in fact, he fell in love with a warrior within his clan. It was a secret, but their secret didn't last when she ended up expecting kits. She had a difficult birth and died in the process, along with all but one of their kits: Wolfkit. He was mocked for breaking the code, and heartbroken for losing his mate. Foxtail had to choose between his duty and his son, and he chose his duty because he loved it far too much for his own good.
===Roleplay===
Foxtail makes his first appearance when MistClan finds their territory set ablaze. He, with his clanmates, make it over the river, while Hailstar, Larkfur, Poppykit, Antkit, and Dapplepaw are lost. Wolfpaw finds them across the river, and takes it upon himself to fetch his father to treat Poppykit, who had blacked out. Foxtail is bitter when his son refers to him as "father", and coldly responds that he is to be called by his name.
Foxtail concludes that Poppykit had just passed out, and was relatively healthy otherwise. Applewhisker, the RainClan deputy, threatens MistClan for trespassing on their territory. Foxtail concludes that they have the right to take refuge, but Applewhisker counters that MistClan can hardly be considered a clan due to their low numbers and dying leader. Foxtail accepts this, knowing that they'll have no territory nor prey to return to.
He sees to Hailstar, quietly knowing that the leader is on his death bed. He elects to not treat the tom, seeing that it was Hailstar's wish to finally find his peace.
