## Relations

Mentor: Unknown

## Interests

*Likes*

Littleflame loves staying safe in camp with all his loved ones with him, as he believes it makes him feel accomplished because he "kept them safe." He loves helping all the medicine cats and nurses too, he finds the smell of herbs calming.

*Dislikes*

Littleflame hates seeing his clanmates get injured, both physically and mentally. He also has a strange fear of getting dirty, and hates doing so; he'll still do it for his clan, after some hesitation. He HATES bugs of any kind, and makes an effort to stay away from them.

## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

Littleflame has slightly enchanced smell and hearing (no, not as in "powers," he just has a slightly stronger sense of it than others,) which led him to become a tracker. He's also pretty good at talking to cats, which led to his dream of being a mental medicine cat.

*Faults*

Littleflame is very clumsy due to his long tail, often tripping over it and disturbing prey or his clanmates. His "I must help others before I help myself" way of thinking can also lead to him not getting enough prey or rest. His thin pelt, like Bayblossom, makes keeping warm in cold weather a hassle.

## Personality

Littleflame is VERY, and I mean VERY allocentric and selfless, unlike Bayblossom. He's often called a "people-pleaser," or "servant," but despite the numerous jabs and teases he receives, he continues on helping his clanmates, friends, and kin to the best of his abilities. He greatly desires to become a Mental Medicine Cat to help others with their problems, but knows he likely won't be appointed it.

## Detailed Appearance

Littleflame is a ginger tabby tom, with darker ginger stripes. He has a white throat/chest and a bit of white on his face. He has big, amber eyes, and a smaller-than-average frame - for which he was named for. He also has a very long tail, which he often trips over.

## Backstory

Littlekit was born to Pooleyes and Nightpatch with his siblings, Baykit and Mudkit, and from a young age showed interest in the career of a mental medicine cat, often spending time in their den. His parents brushed it off as him liking the smell of the herbs there, as they discovered he had a rather keen sense of smell, and half-forced him to become a Tracker apprentice. He was unhappy for the first three moons of his apprenticeship, but eventually got over it and became a warrior. During an unfortunate encounter with a hawk when the three littermates, barely new warriors,, Mudmoss threw himself in front of the bird of prey, saving Bayblossom’s life in exchange for his own. Littleflame grew distant from his sister, meeting a strange loner by the name of Frisky wandering around on the territory, and the two toms grew close, often meeting together to swap stories, and eventually catching feelings. Littleflame backed away from the relationship, focusing on the Clan. Tragically, his sister died in a badger attack, leaving the flame tom grief-stricken.
