Orangebrook

## Appearance

Orangebrook is a large and sturdy orange tabby tom with yellow eyes, bushy fur and eyebrows, and a nicked left ear. He has a maroon heart-shaped nose and flashes of paler orange fur, as well as thick darker orange stripes. He has bushy fur that comes in clumps on his cheeks and chest, tufts of fur on his head, visible jawlines, large paws, and a scruffy chin with a wide, stout muzzle. On the River Colony height chart, he is depicted with a single snaggletooth on the left, though it is unknown if this stays constant in further depictions.

## Personality

Orangebrook is the oldest yet least experienced herbalist in the Colonies, having served most of his life as a ranger of the River Colony. He only became an herbalist after the death of his mate, Blazeheart, and the untimely disappearance of the previous herbalist. He has limited knowledge in his craft, and while he gets the job done, his skills are not quite on par with those of Smallpebble, Mistysnow, or even Wrensong.

He is good-natured and easygoing, and his heart is in the right place, but he struggles to take advice from younger cats and can be unintentionally patronizing at times, having his own share of pride. He is earnest and glad to get out of the vigorous patrolling and training routines that Rainfall puts the other rangers through. Despite his satisfaction with his position, however, he still struggles to contact the Spirits Beyond, and he appreciates the other herbalists' patience with him.

## Relationships

### Blazeheart

Blazeheart was Orangebrook's mate. Her death was one of the things that compelled Orangebrook to become River Colony's herbalist. While Piketail states that Blazeheart is "still missing and no one seems to care", it is unknown if Orangebrook is aware she is dead or if he believes she has been missing for an extended period of time.

### Silverblaze

Silverblaze is Orangebrook's only daughter and child. Much like how he treats Wrensong, he often has his "dad-isms" with Silverblaze.

### Rainfall

Though Orangebrook knows he should find himself a new-claw to train, Rainfall hasn't deemed any of the current kittens or new-claws suitable for the job. He trusts Rainfall's judgement, especially due to Rainfall's closer bond with the Spirits Beyond as Captain.

### Wrensong

Orangebrook is fond of Wrensong, but she is frequently aggravated by his behavior towards her. His daughter, Silverblaze, is close to Wrensong's age, and he therefore tends to annoy her with his "dad-isms", unintentionally belittling her.

### Mistysnow

Orangebrook and Mistysnow appear to have a formal but rather terse relationship, as Mistysnow is often irritated by his attitude and lack of respect for the more spiritual aspect of their role. There have been times when Mistysnow has refused to lend help to the River Colony when Orangebrook requested it.

### Smallpebble

While she still gets frustrated with him from time to time, Smallpebble seems to be a friend of Orangebrook's. She prevents Mistysnow and Wrensong from getting too fed up with him, and when he is in over his head, Smallpebble will sometimes visit the River Colony to offer him assistance.

## Trivia

* Orangebrook shares his voice actor, Mel, with Elmtail.
