## Physical Description

Ivybranch is mostly a Norwegian Forest Cat, with thick dark fur and a ginger stripe down their back, on their backlegs and back of the two ankles on the back; a ginger stripe on the left side of their face and one ginger ear. They have slightly lighter brown patches on their forelegs, and big white paws. Their tail is thick and bushy, with a thin dark brown stripe following alongside the ginger, with a brown splash-shaped splodge on the tail. Their ears are big with tufts and they have long whiskers and a small brown stripe on their nose. They have a white muzzle, chest and underbelly.

## Personality

Ivybranch is insecure and self-conscious, but will do anything for those they care about. They're a very determined and loyal individual who is also quite stubborn. They are generally pretty friendly, but often feel inadequate. They also tend to push themself to the limit, which can end up with them getting hurt.

[ See: strength (unbreakable) complex. ]

## Skills and Weaknesses

Ivybranch uses their size to intimidate and to just generally help out -- they are big and can use that to help other cats to carry stuff, lean on them, etc. They're also very strong.

However, they're easily distracted, insecure, and not nearly as fast and agile.

## Life

### Kithood / Apprenticeship

Ivybranch doesn't remember much from their kithood and apprenticeship. They were born in ShadowClan territory, in the Old Territory, and their parents were suspected to be rogues. Ivybranch was found and then raised in camp without a mother or father figure, but can't remember why. They didn't start making friends until they were a warrior.

### Adult Life

As an adult, Ivybranch saw Frecklesplash leave the camp but wasn't present for her death, and later caught greencough, but was determined not to let it kill them.

They gradually grew closer to a warrior named Clawstrike, until finally they went out for a run and both admitted their feelings to each other, becoming mates.

Ivybranch diffused a situation between RiverClan and ShadowClan when Twig -- a loner -- broke Spirit -- a prisoner of ShadowClan -- free, talking out the issue in a calm manner with Beechpaw and Mosslight.

Later, they also helped Ripplepaw get back from the twolegs.

After Furstar died, Ivybranch was made deputy.
