Birchfang

Birchfang is a very large long-haired white cat with blue eyes and long canines that jut out from her lip. They have a long scar down the side of their neck.
Birchfang is a Summitclan warrior, and mentor to Woolpaw. She is gentle, understanding and friendly, a rock for anyone who needs one. They love to climb trees, and can often be found in the middle branches of the conifers around Summitclan territory. She is ferocious when provoked, and a force to be reckoned with in battle.
===History===
Birchfang had a relatively normal upbringing within Summitclan, her combat skill in responsibility earning her warrior status. Their impression of a perfect warrior started to shatter when, while on a solo hunting trip, Birchfang met a beautiful loner by the name of Goldie. Goldie was pregnant, and it was love at first sight.
After a moon of clandestine visits, Goldie begun to kit. The two had entertained fantasies of raising the litter together, of becoming some unconventional family, but all of that fell apart when Goldie and her litter died due to birth complications. The nature of their relationship being forbidden meant that Birchfang could never admit their grief to anybody, and could only carry the burden of mourning their lost love in secret. Birchfang always wanted to be parent, even before Goldie but especially after losing her. However, they were terrified of suffering the same fate. 
As she grew up and gained more experience, Birchfang became Mothpaw's mentor. Birchfang didn't mind Mothpaw's selective mutism at all, and simply filled the silence with chatter, anecdotes and teachings. Mothpaw learned quickly, making Birchfang proud every day. At Mothshade's warrior vigil, moth finally spoke to Birchfang, thanking her for everything she had done. It brought Birchfang to tears, and the two are still close to this day.
Later in life, Birchfang became Woolpaw's mentor, too. He was anxious and quiet, and Birchfang worked hard to comfort him and draw him out of his shell. With Woolpaw all alone in the clan, Birchfang found themself slipping into a parental role as well as a mentor, and they are committed to caring for Woolpaw as if it was her own kit.
