## Interests

*Likes*

Adderfrond likes being complimented and getting his ego boosted—watch him blush and puff out his chest at the same time! He also likes being out in charge or relied on, climbing trees, scouting, and playing hide-and-seek.

*Dislikes*

He really dislikes being argued with and can get heated easily if he is. It’s not necessarily because Adderfrond thinks he’s right all the time, but he feels defensive being pointed out he could be wrong. He’s also not a fan when other cats think his good looks mean he has no brains.

## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

Even though he’s smaller, his energy exudes intensity when necessary, making him intimidating at the best of times. He’s also agile and sneaky, which comes in handy for his position. Adderfrond would count his righteousness as a strength, though that could be called into question.

*Faults*

He struggles with being humble and boasts too much at times. He also has a tendency to volunteer himself for everything and not know his physical or mental limits. Though muscular, his small size means he can be overpowered by larger cats or enemies.

## Personality

Adderfrond has a very strong, courageous personality. He is quick to boast about his bravery, but it’s not just for show. The tom cat readily throws himself into danger for others and will take on precarious situations as a tracker that others might hesitate on. When his loyalty is gained, it’s solid and unrelenting. Because of this, when his trust is broken, he has a harsh reaction and may require a lot of apologies. His loyalty is also dependent on his own morality and what he thinks his right. He’ll follow his leader and the code, unless he believes otherwise. Outside of his duties for the Clan, Adderfrond is highly flirtatious and romantic. He tries his best to not cause hurt feelings, yet can’t help but bow down to any pretty cats he likes. He has great energy (in general speak, he can be a total dude bro but a good cat) when around others, but is also good in solitude.

## Detailed Appearance

Adderfrond is a slightly smaller than average cat with a stocky build. He has wide shoulders and haunches, smaller ears with tips more round than pointed, and a thick short tail. His pelt is described as either a light acorn brown or the brown of a dried bracken frond. His tabby markings are a darker brown than the rest of his pelt, particularly apparent on his face, a stripe along his back, and the rings on his tail. He’s got a dark pink, slightly gray nose. Finally, his eyes are a soft light green, somewhat of a flatter color.

## Kin

Mother: Mintyplunge

Father: Toadswamp

## Backstory

Adderfrond’s mother was a former kittypet known as Minty, who had a brief warrior name of Mintyplunge. She joined the Clan when she fell in love with his father, Toadswamp. The two had a quick and fast romance, kitting two moons later and having Adderfrond and his sibling Birdtail. Their parents were very invested with each other, leaving the two siblings to entertain and fend for themselves once they were weaned. Even so, Adderfrond was never very close with Birdtail and spent a lot of time alone. He could see genuine affection between his parents though, and when they split, it was amicable. Mintyplunge soon after reverted to her old name of Minty and went back to live with her Twolegs once Adderfrond was 12 moons old. A moon or so later, Birdtail followed and changed their name to Plucky. Adderfrond wasn’t close with Toadswamp either, but still grieved when the tom disappeared one day. Though he wasn’t told the whole story, Minty once visited and told him that his father had died in the Twolegplace. Her cagey attitude made Adderfrond speculate that the tom went to get his family back and was killed by another a dog.

## Quotes

*"Adderfrond took a break from speaking and closed his eyes to push his nose against her's. Though he had to speak more loudly to be heard, his next words were like the brush of a dove's wing, 'You can always come to me with this. No need to apologize.'"*
