Leechknot (*or simply Leech*) is a feral tom and life member of the group BearClan, currently ranked as **medicine cat**  serving under **Onestar**. He is a member of the Lost and Found Generation and a follower of **Abeytu** .

Leechknot prefers to stay formal and solemn because he believes that if cats are humorous they come off as naive, foolish, and easily manipulated. He doesn't form tight relationships with any other cat because he thinks strong emotions lead to injudicious decisions. Deeply, he just wants a sense of completion in his life so he strives to work intensely with any task he is faced with.

## **Personality**

* **Ambitious -**Leechknot tends to set high goals for himself. Most of the time he sets them so high thats he works himself too hard and is left disappointed with his abilities.
* **Hardworking -**Almost all day, you can find Leechknot working in the herb den. He is very diligent, tireless, and commited when it comes to his medicine cat duties.
* **Dubious -**Leechknot will only trust something if he has seen it with his own eyes, making him skeptical to accept new ideas or beliefs. This is shown when he only begins to follow the Mantotopha when he receives a vision from Talvi.
* **Perfectionist -**Leechknot has most of the Herb Den organized by usage. He can become an extreme micro-manager when things are misplaced or incorrect. For this same reason he gets very uncomfortable when things get caught in his fur or tail. He rarely trusts others to perform a task correctly.
* **Bad-Tempered -**Most of the time, Leechknot tends to have a smart tongue. When cats distrupt his work, he lashes out and gets irritated easily.
* **Cynic -**Leechknot believes that most of cat's motivations come from their own emotions. He thinks that if he doesn't get emotionally attatched to anything, his actions and thoughts will be more rational. Self-control is key to him.

## **History**

Leechknot has no memory of his parents. His father was a wandering stray and before he could meet his mother she was killed and taken away by rogues, but she had hid Leechknot away from the cats in a small den off a serene bluff by the ocean. It was an area abundant with various plants and was confined and secured by large stone boulders that roughly surrounded the oasis. He pretty much raised himself and learned language by traveling rogues. His herb knowledge sprouted out of curiosity from the plentiful plants and herbs around him. He used his knowledge to eventually treat wounded cats that passed through his bluff, and found it as a way to express himself. After many moons of living contently in his small herb den, Onestar , Leopardcall , and Deerfall traveled through his little territory. They introduced the Mantotopha religion to him, and asked if he would like to join their search for the remains of Bearclan. After some persuading Leechknot decided that he would help this compact group of cats out with herbal knowledge and healing.
