Tanglesnap

=== Description ===
Tanglesnap is an average-sized slender tortoiseshell she-cat with golden eyes and delicate, petite features. 
Tanglesnap is one of the current Medics of Eagleclan. She, along with Jayfall, were chosen to pursue the Medic's path after Sundrop died without an apprentice. They trained under the Mireclan Medic, Springbluff, and due to their joint apprenticeship, she gained a sibling-like bond with her fellow Medic, Jayfall. She is sarcastic and opinionated, devastatingly stubborn and finds great joy in teasing Jayfall and gossiping with her patients. She would do anything to take care of the cats she loves, but her dry wit and side-eye are a staple of the Eagleclan camp. 
=== History ===
Tanglesnap was born as the middle sibling of a litter of three to her parents, Softsky and Robincall. Her youngest sibling, Sunkit, was stillborn. Her family were distraught, but worked hard to give Tanglekit and her elder brother, Snapkit the best possible childhood they could.
As an apprentice, Tanglepaw and Snappaw trained together as warrior apprentices. However, when Sundrop died without an apprentice, Duststar suggested that she enter the field of medicine. She decided she preferred the idea of becoming a Medic to being a warrior, and trained under Springbluff with Jaypaw. 
When the siblings were 8 moons old, Tanglepaw received the most tragic news possible. During a training session at Eagle's Drop, her brother had lost his grip and fell into the ravine and was badly injured by the fall. Distraught and panicked, her mother had instinctively leapt in after him, and was killed on impact. Both cats were recovered, and Tanglepaw had a few grueling hours of trying to patch up her brother's wounds before he passed away. 
The grief of this all sent her father into an early retirement. However, cats did not stop getting injured just because she was grieving, and Tanglepaw could not stop her training even for a moment. She built a stubborn, resilient wall around herself just to keep moving, leaving only Jaypaw and Hawkpaw privy to her inevitable breakdowns. 
As a full Medic, Tanglesnap took her brother's name in his memory. She became her aging father's carer, and secretly longed for someone to take care of her instead. She retains her trademark humour and sharp tongue, but those closest to her know she is only so hard-working so that she can ignore the hardest parts of her life. She meets Snappaw and Softsky during her half-moon visits to the Conduit, and it hurts her to see herself get older than her brother and now, even her mother.
