== Appearance & Personality ==
==== Appearance ====
Fennelfoot has thick dark gray tabby fur that's mottled with black and white. His eyes are brown.
==== Personality ====
Fennelfoot is very deferential, diplomatic, and courteous. By which I mean he's serious and dull. He's a little bit friendlier and jokier with his friends, though.
== Backstory ==
==== Kithood ====
Fennelkit and Stemkit were born in OasisClan to Fledgeflutter and Frostroot. Frostroot was always sort of distant and unfeeling toward his kits, which irritated Fledgeflutter. Fennelkit thought it was fun to try and do weird, reckless things to try and get Frostroot's attention. He would inadvertently put himself and Stemkit in danger sometimes, hoping that their father would pay them some notice.
One time, at five moons old, Fennelkit encouraged Stemkit to sneak out of camp with them so they could follow a hunting patrol that Frostroot was on. Since Fennelkit was a genius, he accidentally fell into an old ditch dug up by a badger or something and got stuck. Stemkit had to go get Frostroot and make him save Fennelkit. It was embarrassing for Fennelkit, and he got in big trouble with Fledgeflutter when Frostroot took him and Stemkit back to camp.
He was generally a dumb, excitable, and daring kit, although deep down, he was pretty discontent.
==== Apprenticeship ====
Fennelpaw became an apprentice. Yay! Good for him. Unfortunately, greencough was happening. Frostroot and Stempaw both caught it and became very ill, eventually dying less than a moon apart from one another. Fennelpaw was very sad about that. He was saddened that he'd never truly earned his father's respect or love, and he would miss Stempaw's company, as she had really been his only genuine companion for quite a long time. He'd sort of connected with his cousin and denmate, Shadowpaw, but she was always concentrating on training and didn't have much time for getting into shenanigans with him. Besides, she didn't like shenanigans, unfortunately for Fennelpaw.
At nine moons old, Fennelpaw eventually decided that OasisClan was no longer the place for him, so he bid Fledgeflutter goodbye and left. He joined MarshClan instead, where he became fast friends with Canyonpaw and the younger apprentice Adderpaw, who had also moved from OasisClan. He trained pretty smoothly for the rest of his apprenticeship. He once ran into an angry loner while hunting with Adderpaw, and while Adderpaw tried to fight the loner, Fennelpaw was able to talk it into leaving them alone. Generally, though, he got along better with Canyonpaw. He sort of juggled between hanging out with Canyonpaw and Adderpaw, the same way Canyonpaw switched back and forth from chilling with him and with Mintpaw.
At eleven moons old, though, not long before he became a warrior, he received word from his other cousin - OasisClan's messenger, Brightnight, that Fledgeflutter had left OasisClan to go back to being a loner. He was kind of upset about that, because he'd wanted his mother to at least get to hear his warrior name, but there wasn't anything he could do about it.
==== Warrior Life ====
He received the name Fennelfoot. He stayed friends with Adderfrost and Canyonmist, and was excited for Canyonmist when Minkstar named him deputy. Fennelfoot existed and did nothing for a long time... until he developed a crush on Brightstripes. Unfortunately for him, Adderfrost also had a crush on Brightstripes. Uh oh. They were sort of on edge about that for a while, and although they did their best to remain friendly as always toward each other, there was always some obvious tension in the air.
Several moons later, Minkstar died while giving birth to her kits. Canyonstar took over as leader, and shortly afterwards, his son, Wolfkit, was killed by the new plague. Fennelfoot felt pretty bad for Canyonstar, but he was proud once he was appointed deputy. He wants to serve MarshClan in the moons to come as well as he can. However, Adderfrost was much less happy with this decision, as he felt like Fennelfoot had a better chance with Brightstripes. Things were going downhill with their friendship, and they got pretty salty at each other. Fennelfoot just vibed with Canyonstar for a while to avoid being yelled at by Adderfrost.
But then the second wave of the plague hit, and Brightstripes was killed - and not before making it clear that she'd never had feelings for either of them. Fennelfoot and Adderfrost both felt pretty horrible about it, and they reconciled. But they were both still pretty sad about the loss of Brightstripes.
About a moon later, Fennelfoot received Spiderpaw as his apprentice. He trained him because that's what mentors do. Yahoo. Mainly with Adderfrost and Gingerpaw. But then Spiderpaw got the plague and started dying, which wasn’t very cash money of him. Fennelfoot was sorta worried about that, ngl. It took a while, but Spiderpaw eventually did die. This made Fennelfoot very sad. F. But luckily for him, Minkstar's kits became apprentices not too long later, so he got to become Hollypaw's mentor. Her enthusiasm was pretty nice after all of Spiderpaw's negativity, and Fennelfoot enjoyed training her. They trained. Yay. Before Hollypaw became a warrior, she told Fennelfoot to ask Canyonstar if she could be named Hollyflower after Minkstar (her warrior name had been Minkflower). Fennelfoot did that. So then she became a warrior under the name Hollyflower. Fennelfoot was proud of her.
Currently, he's just vibing. He's a pretty chill dude.

==== Trivia ====
* Not to be confused with Fennelberry, a FallClan man who has little to no chance of ever getting a girlfriend.
*I keep looking at his design and thinking about how much he looks like one of those goth horror movie monsters with absurdly heavy makeup.
*He was named Fennelfoot because he has white paws, and his parents thought it sorta resembled how fennel bulbs were more whitish than the rest of the plant. Also, I just think it's a cute name.
*Fennelfoot is never going to become MarshClan's leader. He's going to dramatically die first. Forgive me.
*Since he's the deputy, he would've had to have an apprentice before Spiderpaw. Except he didn't. Shhh.
*You know what an epic name would be? Shellshard. I want to make a cat and name it Shellshard. I'm gonna forget, though, so I'm just putting it down here so I can see it later.
